The best Mahou Shoujo game up to date
I'm a big fan of Mahou Shoujo, which doesn't mean only your famous Madoka or Sailor Moon. I played some Mahou Shoujo in psp, but games with this genre is very rare, and with this quality i can only thank Gust to make this.
I wish this series continue like Nights or Atelier, since no one bothers about making good mahou shoujo games nowadays. Some things could be better in the game, sure, but if you compare others Mahou, this game is as top as it gets.

This game is best compared with the anime: Yuuki Yuuna Yuusha de Aru => yes this is a name. You should watch this anime when you have the time it's great.
Another honorable mention if you like Mahou Shoujo is Nanoha (there are many seasons, just look for animes with with Nanoha in the name) it continues with Vivio in Vivid Strike and they are making new movies and seasons up to this date. Unfortunately the best Mahous are not known in the west aside from the classic ones Sailor Moon, Sakura card captor, Madoka etc.

Gust has a thing worth mentioning in their games, the characters are full of emotions. I never found any game where the characters show so much emotion like in Gust games (atelier/blue reflection/etc). If you enjoy cute characters and deep emotional development, i recommend this game for you.

it's unfair to compare this game to Yuuki Yuuna because it's a low budget PSV game

It's also unfair to compare it to Yuuki Yuuna because in this you surely can't ENJOY KAGAWA LIFE! HEY! HEY! HEY! :steamhappy:

And I don't know, aren't the Madoka games the best Mahou Shoujo games?
I wish that they could port those...

PS: I would kill for a game of Symphogear, something like Dynasty Warriors or the likes.
PS2: If Gust make another one, I REALLY hope that they increase the yuri levels. In today times Magical Girls and yuri going hand to hand. (How lewd...:smilingrisa:)

After playing this game I have been hoping for a Sailor Moon Action - RPG game on modern consoles and PC as the anime series of it is the one in the Mahou Shoujo genre I grew up with during my childhood.

Man, I kinda miss the 90s.

The first thing KT need to improve is the solidity of their PC ports, other things can be discussed later.

furthermore, Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru 's character design / art style is not my cup of Tea.

can't expect KT to make such a game, because Sailor Moon's copyright fee is expensive.

Yeah, if there were one, it would probably be done by Bamco instead as the existing one on Android, Sailor Moon Drops, which is not an action-RPG game, is published by them.

I could live with quality level of Nights of Azure. As far as they give me more yuri, that's it. :cupcakeelf:

And Yuuki Yuuna... I would say, try it. I don't know your tastes, but it's pretty good. And the music and battle scenes are heavenly.
The story is good too. The addition of the movies recently just made it better. (
The feels!! )

To be honest, i feel like this one is more yuri than Nights of Azure, because the emotions are deeper. You can feel more care and affection.
Nights is yuri, yes, but i don't feel the same depth, it's more superficial and direct.
I prefer yuri with depth like this one, but i don't dislike Nights, I'll get NoA2.

there is less yuri in this game than you thought, most of them are just friendship, having understand your friends deeply doesn't mean you love or they would be your lover
at least yuuki yuuna gets canon yuri, i liked the anime but the adapted game was horrible :steamsad:.

Haha. Even Sakura Card Captor is classified as yuri. Yuri is not hardcore lesbianism only. Colorful friendship is also yuri like Kiniro Mosaic.

I would prefer a game like Blue Reflection, but with a story that has tons of more choices.

Imagine Mass Effect meets Sailor Moon.

But of course, this would require a crapton of $$$.

I don't know. I haven't played this one.
But you can't say that the yuri in NoA isn't depth. Don't you saw how much they care for each other? Their interactions? How devoted are they for each other? They're adorable!
And there's nothing wrong with being direct!

And there's a difference between colorful friendship and lovers-in-all-but-name.

See Symphogear Miku and Hibiki. They're deeply care about each other. They support each other and share deeply emotional moments together. They also live and sleep together, even if they have two beds. Heck, even how they call each other, Miku is Hibiki's sunshine, and the warmest place on all the Earth. Hibiki is Miku's blinding sun.
Change the gender of one of them and nobody would have the sightless doubt that they're a couple.

Blue Reflection have friendships like that? Because that would be nice!

Card Captor Sakura is sad, sad, depressing one-sided yuri. (Curse you, CLAMP)

And we could debate until the end of the world if Kiniro Mosaic counts as friendship. They're a bit little close to be considered just friends. "A japanese Christmas is a Christmas with Shiho!"

I mean, look at another example, Saki, can you tell me with straight face than Nodoka or Momo are straight?

As I sad above, there's friendship and 'friendship'.
