What would you like to see in the next installment? Or additional changes?

The sequel is called utawarerumono prelude of a fallen.

I would very much like to see more of Shunya's panties. And additionally I wanna have Anju as playable character so I can see her panties as well. Btw we already have Anju-Mune-Mika group correcting the world's wrongs in the Mask epilogue so it's probably gonna be the same party next Monochrome game but with Anju instead of Oshtor and Shunya as Tezcatlipoca or whatever she is called. At least I very much hope so. Yup yup Mikazuchi and three girls would be fantastic party, couldn't ask for anything better!

Also I wanna explore more of Arva Shulan (because it wasn't nearly enough in first game) and maybe the whole utawarerumono world.

I trust where Aquaplus is going with the story, they've got a proven track record and I know they'll tie up all the loose ends and knock it out of the park.

I would like to see some slightly more polished gameplay, though. I felt like the game's difficulty was really balanced just right on release... but people complained about it being too hard, and so they made the game much easier and adjusted XP gain in a way that makes it impossible to not be overlevelled, and now the game is so easy you don't even have to learn how combat works. I'd rather the difficulty in the sequel be more like the game's original release, but add an Easy mode for people who don't like it, and add the ability to switch (or at least decrease) the difficulty at any time.

Also, while the ring mechanics are cool, normal battles are over fast enough that you often don't even have the chance to use them. It'd be neat to have more abilities that take advantage of that; for example, they could have special attacks that do damage and have a side effect of boosting a character into an enemy ring or dropping an enemy into a lower one, or passive abilities/equipment that change which ring a character starts in, or attacks that deal high damage but boost the enemy. As it is, boss fights (at least, any that are difficult because you're not massively overleveled) are just a matter of using circle dance and stunning enemies until your characters are in the inner ring, then sitting there for the rest of the fight.

Probably better gameplay, side quest and more party member. I hate how bad the side quest are and how boring the gameplay is. I love Uta series to death but i have the least fun playing Monochrome Mobius.

Honestly I want them go forward and not do prequel stories. Moving forward on the main lore is what I most of all want, I have never been fan of prequels. Adult Anju and rest of the children characters would be nice to get and actually starting another long trilogy story to further evolve the lore made already. Maybe even give another onvitaikayan MC for us with his own history before getting put to a long sleep.

I think Monochrome Mobius 2 will take place after MoT events. The first game introduced story unrelated to Mask's one and Shunya made prophecies about Mask's events. So now our remaining heroes, Mika and Mune (and I hope Anju travelling with them) can find Shunya's pictures and realize what those mean. And, lets say, if Shunya drew anything else, maybe some horrific pictures, they could now understand that it's not just pictures but prophesies and bad events are approaching so they need to try to change the future or something. At least that way I think it would make more sence to introduce Shunya's abilities.

Btw on second thought both Shunya and Anju have fire affinity... Well, crap. Its unlikely they will be both in the party, need someone else to replace Oshtor, damn...

I would like to see more new stuff and less old stuff. I was excited when the heroes were venturing out into Arva Shulan, only to then go back to Yamato where we already spent 100 hours in, and we didn't really get to explore anything new. We didn't get to see the underutilized characters like the archer general, and Oshtor's master was criminally underused. He just sat around drinking, made a 2 minute cameo in a sidequest, and then showed up to die and pass of the mask to Oshtor. I don't need more Anju or Munechika or whatever.

Vurai and Oshtor infiltrate Arva Shulan together and we get to see their relationship sour.

Arva Shulan party members.

More build variety. In Monochrome Mobius the equipment have effects, but stat wise you only really have two choices at any given time, as anything older than one upgrade has too low stats.

Better music. 100 tracks but I can only remember 5 of them.

I do like your idea, but honestly I expect Mobius 2 be just continue this young Oshtor and Mikazuchi as they now have to deal with Sunya turning to some goddess of prophecies. So many Aztec style names picked in this game and references to Aztec culture. I do wish you guess is right and they would do a huge time skip passing the MoD and MoT storylines. Honestly even from selling point that would almost force people to play those games to catch up what happened between.

If my guess is correct and they will stay in this sequel time period. I really wish they would go back to Utawarerumono story and progress that. I want adult Anju and rest of them, Kuon should still be alive too, honestly I am very certain fans want to go back to those characters more.

Ps. Answered only now as had to finish Mobius first before replying anything. Was a fun ride, although not as good as Uwarerumono games and I miss the turn based strategy style for the battles more.

I just wish the game was harder because it's fun but it was really disheartening to see how easy it was.

[恋夢]

There are new steam coming up (26 May I think), maybe they will announce something (wishful lol) there.

[iameatingjam]

I just hope it ends up happening. Did this game sell well enough to justify a sequel? I hope so, but it doesn't seem like it.

Who knows, but if you buy it then chances of your hope (which is mine hope as well) to become reality are guaranteed to increase a bit.
