I'm not sure if I ever said it here before, but I've always wished that VV would completely separate from DOA (because I think it's been kind of an open secret that VV's devs have been using the DOA series as a launch pad and would rather work with their OCs over DOA's characters). I had it typed out on the internet somewhere I'm sure, but I couldn't find it here. Anyways, I thought somehow they had read my mind when that new logo was revealed with DOA's name nowhere in sight... but they ended up adding it as a subtitle!? I honestly don't know what looks worse, leaving DOA off the title entirely or making it a subtitle, lol...
Well that was half of my hope, what I really wanted was for VV to drop DOA's name and a new DOA FG to get announced, with the 2nd thing happening first. Like this, it just looks bad for the DOA series, imo. I bet the devs were forced to add it on in the end, that's what it feels like to me anyways. Even the first two girls announced out of what's going to be 6 have been their own VV OCs.
As for the new game... big nope from me. I caved when it comes to VV (cuz of Tina), but Prism looks like it isn't going to have anything I'm interested in at all. I can even already guess what the full roster is gonna look like... it'd be shocking if it doesn't even have Kasumi, but I can actually see that happening because even when it comes to DOA girls I think they'd rather put Marie and Honoka in over her. Plus, I already cringe at most of the dialogue in VV. I've played and liked Romance VNs before, but I can't imagine this one being anything but cringy. Prism is really reminding me of Tekken Team's Summer Lessons, of all things... (but without the VR, surprisingly, but I'm sure they'll add that later) so weird to see TN being a trend follower rather than a trend setter now.
All that said, I've still been playing VV on and off. I get turned off from playing it sometimes, like when all of the festival outfits were only for VV girls a while back (and not even any of the few I've managed to like). Right now I'm still kinda pissed that when Tina actually got included in that "Adult Time" outfit gacha (even if it isn't a swimsuit, sigh), I wasted 50K on it and never got her's once, lmao (and I went in thinking not only would I get it, but get it to malfunction level).
Anyways, one question tho... why is it that when some girls read the title screen, they sound like they're being made to say it at gun-point?
