NeonPhoenix 05/11/25 7:07:01 PM #1:	I'm not a weeb, but if you don't know, Blue Reflection is a niche RPG series about magical girls going to school during their normal life and fighting monsters in dungeons in their off time. It's basically a mix of Persona and Sailor Moon. I think the games are fun and relaxing and they have top-tier atmosphere and soundtracks, though they definitely aren't perfect in the gameplay department. Well, literally every character in this whole series has been female. All the protagonists, all the supporting characters, everyone! Until Blue Reflection Sun, a mobile gacha spinoff, featured a M A L E protagonist! And fans were flipping their collective SHIT lol https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/0/9/AAfWomAAD9Xx.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/1/0/AAfWomAAD9Xy.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/1/1/AAfWomAAD9Xz.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/1/2/AAfWomAAD9X0.jpg The series is basically known for cute girls doing cute things ~~and sometimes having some yuri undertones~~, especially in the 2nd game >____> So I guess people didn't want some dude to spoil their college girl yuri party. Man, I hope this series is okay cuz the mobile game shut down after like a year or so. The series is definitely flawed and their multimedia attempts with the anime and mobile game have kinda been trainwrecks lol, but the 2 core games are still a fun time and show that the series does have a lot of potential if they can iron out the jank. I know the producer said he wants to revisit the series one day but shit seems pretty dead Blue Reflection 3 one day hopefully --- https://imgur.com/u2HR4nG <cite>NeonPhoenix posted [p:985034820] in Remember w...
