Blue Archive's Community is what every Game's Should Be

BA community is in a way, a small window of what pre-2010 internet communities looked like

[@KingzMintz]

Damn really? I was never around pre-2010 internet cause I was too young.

[@razzildarkbrew1952]

I miss those days

[@DadSensei]

@@KingzMintz yeah, less people meant less infighting within communities. Less normies, less complaints. Whenever there was infighting however, people would stick out like a sore thumb, moderation that wanted to remain unbiased would ban both sides to "make it fair". There was some genuine dedication among trolls, some of which would torment certain communities for years🤣 it was overall a smaller yet way more enjoyable place with likeminded individuals, way less political

[@DadSensei]

@lollmaonice kind of, I think its still somewhat far off what Touhou was during its golden era. But its close enough, better gatekept even

[@njnj-re2mc]

It's funny because many of the game's designs, the chibis, the moe culture, reminds me of the early 2000s. I only realized it after watching another YT video about the anime ED theme, and it suddenly made a lot of sense to me. I guess that's part of the reason why BA clicks so well for me.

[@iwanttomoveon9097]

Blue archive works a lot because it is a WAIFU game. The community helps you to motivate yourself to keep playing thought it's other means in the different medium of anime (from its doujins, fan arts, music and etc.). Even myself I still keep playing the game no matter how boring the gameplay because I really care the characters and I do feel self insert myself through it's fan arts, dating or hanging out with students since I owned this type of character in the first place. Other gacha games though doesn't give me motivation to keep playing because they were only usable for gameplay advantage and felt like spending just an idol PNG. I play genshin for almost 3 years, like hu tao, and after 3 years, I just really don't care about her, fan arts doesn't help since it's just drip type fan art rather than hanging out with the mc, also it doesn't help about it since how platonic relationship the game is.

[@DadSensei]

BA is rather platonic too, but the game does make sure the MC has a lot of shades so it ain't just an NCP degree character like Traveler from GI or just another harem degenerate/prude. Outside his unrealistic idealism, Sensei is pretty organic as a character

[@LoliconSamalik]

Getting a character also lets you see their story and explore more about them, sometimes having shades you never expected from them. So even if you're not in it for the gameplay, sparking for a character is still a good way to get more side story out of the game.

[@LoliconSamalik]

@@DadSensei BA can be platonic, but the game does like you to fantasize beyond such relationship, considering how many of the girls want you to date them. So much so, that it's canon law in the game to allow such things to happen.

[@DadSensei]

And you can see that BA's community is so incredibly good that a bunch of Hoyoverse communities are trying to replicate this amazing and refreshing aura by spamming the cunny meme on their social medias, but it ends that their toxicity can't afford to use it correctly because they'll never be so chill and nice like BA fans. They always end in war in their own territory, meanwhile senseis just having fun and chitchats with each other about which student is prettier/cutest/hott3r, anyway. They just don't know that the thing is not just about the cunny meme, but about how good and receptive senseis are to people who have a sane mind and know how to differentiate things. Senseis are in majority awesome. They're too toxic for that. Neither hoyo (especially hoyo) or any other community will ever reach the levels of base and culture on BA's community.

Hoyo communities can't because they are multipandering and its filled with minors who grew up with a phone/tablet.

BA drama is great because it's *very rarely* drama between players/fans, and usually is instead drama about how much we hate getting fucked around with by everyone else. We don't really fight each other, not seriously. Instead the community gets riled up when - as you said in the video- tourists, localizers, and what-have-you decide they need to tell us how to enjoy our students and our game. That's when you'll see BA fans riot. It won't be because of a bunny skin, or because there's not enough dark skinned characters (wtf is genshin smoking rn?), but because people OUTSIDE the community, those who aren't fans of the game, try to tell us we're wrong for playing it, for enjoying it. We've managed to gatekeep ourselves incredibly well over the last two and a half years, and I hope that it continues to succeed in the future.

What always impressed me in BA is how *every single character* is likable. Regardless of your tastes, it's literally impossible to dislike any of the girls.

The BA community know what the game is trying to tell. It's okay to get bad things, what's the matter, is how you accept things.

The game itself had a wholesome perspectiv about thing and give us the job as sensei who is one of the most important job on the world. We may be stranger to other, but we are not to professor. Reaching what is not understandable is where all miracle begin. The community work well between player, content maker and developper. Developper give what player needed, player give what content maker want. Content maker show to dev how much player enjoy. As a Sumire Enjoyer, she think everything can be reach with training.

Something that often not highlighted that I love about BA is the Story mode separated with the game stage progression. It looks like not that game-changing but it makes players progress the stages without skipping the story, thus we can enjoy the story whenever we like. I never seen any gacha game do this

[@LoliconSamalik]

That's also why it's so welcoming. Granted, unless it's Mihoyo's bloated storytelling nonsense, I usually don't skip cutscenes. But it's nice to have a straight visual novel so well written, you feel like it's worth spending your money on just to reward the devs and make more.

[@tastysteak9943]

​@@LoliconSamalikmihoyo storytelling? More like SPACEBAR DESTROYER Honestly i stopped playing gi because of that Too verbose and meaningless for my taste especially on liyue

[@anhtrung8909]

Yea, like i could spend 2 hours watch the first chapter off final arc, claim reward and call it a day, a lil bit downside that sometime they make us use our student, but everyday grinding and even with starting student and upgrade to minium of lv50, t3 equipment, not maxed out lv skill, it still easy to complete one

[@ItsInso]

Hello, This is my first month of blue archive. I've taken a liking to koyuki. Every blue archive player is so free, You can express yourself in this community without being hated. Before playing, i thought the community is horrible. I can express myself without being hated, I want to thank the community and the players for the great experience. I love all of you. -from Koyuki Degenerate.

[@crushcrimsonh7912]

Wonderful video! You really get across what you love about this game and the surrounding community. I agree on most points, but I fail to fully agree on the lack of drama. For the most part, yeah, it's chill, but one of my close friends are a yuri artist that was very open about her ships between characters. She wasn't walking around shoving yuri in people's faces, and yet when the anime started releasing and the pushback towards tourists skyrocketed, she was unfortunately targeted for being a "yurif*g", doxxed, and regularly got threats from people who said yuri doesn't belong in BA. I'm not a fan of yuri myself, but ever since this I've been soured from the community I used to love.

[@LoliconSamalik]

As a sensei, I'd like to apologize. There was an incident before I joined the subreddit in with a toxic yuri shipper souring the community hard on the idea of yuri ships. Everyone had to collectively agree to get the user banned for bad behavior, because the mods weren't doing anything. (That said, getting doxed is definitely going too far.) Besides that, it's probably a decent reminder that many of the people in the community do come from the doujinshi sphere (where BA dominates), and as such, many senseis do push back when people try to get the pendulum to go in the opposite direction when the pendulum swings towards "no-yuri" extreme. It doesn't help that characters such as Ako canonically do show strong signs of affection for Hina. Just remember to not push the pendulum back into the opposite extreme.

[@DadSensei]

yeah, yurishipping is badly received, it's not for bad reasons though as yuri does open doors to other stuff which is pretty bad, it also dilutes the likeminded community

[@LoliconSamalik]

@@DadSensei Yuri doesn't do that. Shipping wars might, but not yuri in a doujinshi style. There is a difference in expression.

[@DadSensei]

@@LoliconSamalik it may not but it does attract that people, hence why I have no issues with yuri but their fans can stay as far as possible

[@LoliconSamalik]

@@DadSensei I'm not entirely in agreement, because I've seen plenty of chill senseis in the BA community when it comes with yuri. Chances are, if you can already get pass the humor and massive appreciation of l0licons with ease (which is a pretty thick filter as is due to how many moralistic people can't swallow their shallow pride for their happiness) you're already a pretty chill person and deserve a place there. _Humor is the filter, not hostility._ Because if hostility continues, the community is gonna pull the UNO reverse card and said people who do such things gonna be the one to get gatekept and treated like the rest of the problem tourists. So do be mindful of the method, sensei. There's gonna be a massive psychological butterfly effect if such a problem gets too big or common, and I just don't want that to happen.

[@HaxeRain]

BA really nurtured a specific and nice community say after me: Ninpo!

[@matamatmassivetac5789]

Honestly, this so much. The community is so unified and harmonious that it's such a breath of fresh air. There may be some drama here and there but it's nothing that gets blown out way beyond proportion. I'm a gachaslop enjoyer, and unfortunately that means I'm witnessing the dregs of hoyoverse game fandoms everywhere I go. Gives me a headache just thinking about how loud and annoying they are. Then I look at Blue Archive and suddenly my headache is gone. We're all amazing people here, and don't let anyone say otherwise!

[@rukarindie]

BA has literally made me strive to be a better person because of its story. I don't think I've ever experienced that before. It has also made me more openly degenerate. It's liberating.

[@stephorozco8911]

Hinata's live2d card is legitimately one of my favorite and heartbreaking pieces of art from this game.. mainly because she is a massive workaholic, and Sensei recognized she needed a break. Always makes sure to give her plenty of headpats so she doesn't forget to take those breaks.

[@Cringemoment4045]

TBH, blue archive's community is very similar to gated early 2000s communities. I think that it's supposed to be this way. I remember Kurzgesagt made a video about the internet.

[@EungsuLee]

This almost feels like the Touhou community of the ol' times...

[@Chisato_Strafe]

The one gacha community with an official emoji ? 😭😭😭 ... for the game to consistently have over 100k views at every official announcement livestream, it says a lot how big we are. Oh and probably because it's mainly just dudes.

[@LoliconSamalik]

Don't forget 🦀

[@SDseb]

I love BA and it's community so much, I definitely wanna come back and talk to the people. Even though I haven't been playing the game much, just knowing that people here gatekeep those annoying tourist away and keeping this community drama free really warms my heart. Almost everywhere on the internet these day people act all high and mighty like their the most moral person ever (especially on twitter holy shit I can't stand it), it just get's so mentally draining. I just want to enjoy what I enjoy like BA and it's characters that clearly doesn't hurt anybody, yet if I tell those people that, I'll get treated like an actual criminal just because their loli's. Knowing that I can openly say what I enjoy about the characters and still being treated like a human being puts a smile on my face every time.

[@themastermlg7233]

you're either someone who has no comminatory taste nor moral consuetude you tunnel yourself through hebdomadally whatsoever, or an admittedly tachyonically hupaithric criminal who has dredged up such lentiginous pride in unencumberedly gatekeeping a pest for a game that this is... you would wuss your way out of any reverberation upon having been arrhythmically radged to your demise for taking a fixation on this economic product of a fanzine for a certain kind of people who will never be socially reintegrated with any legalistic way you could ingratiatingly probabilize. another classic 👃"happenstance". take galliambically gallus relish in your "game". may god all mighty have mercy on you for i will not if i ever encounter you irl.

[@hyperdimensionbliss]

Installed on a whim because I heard swimsuit Izuna was being rerun and got her in 9 pulls. The gameplay is honestly pretty fun as someone who enjoys teambuilding and discovering skill synergies between students. Flash forward to now, I just recently finished reading through all of pre-Volume F and would protect not just her but Haruka, Arisu, Saori, Suzumi, Hina, Neru, Kasumi, Azusa, Hoshino and more with my life.

[@SleepyRulu]

Ba community domt hate you for liking lolis.

[@tsukujam3080]

also apparently wanting to kill fictional "child"like characters is more acceptable than liking them.

[@TheCapitalWanderer]

i see it as a win, rarely any communities does that nowadays, not even the anime sphere does that

[@mayyothecondiment]

The community is one the best and one I'm glad Im in. Very welcoming, and you'll have a reaction that at least a dozen of sensei will have the same towards the characters. I unironically love the gameplay specially the raids. Its just a plus for me aside from what you mentioned which is characters and story. Its BA's strongest part after all. BA Writing is just so peak after all.

[@Agilku117]

Honestly... I don't even remember how I got into Blue Archive in the first place. I think there's lots of memes about BA on my social media feed then got curious about it.

[@Jamman4life]

The one thing I do agree with is that blue archive community is pretty nice some pretty funny people.

[@Kasumizawa.Miyu_RABBIT04]

Preach sensei, preach! This is absolutely true btw. I joined this game for Miyu, now I'm terminally online and actually happy because of the community.

[@bayumahendra1797]

BA community is the most nicest comunity despite having the most sus content, they never harm real life people and always keep their fantasy inside their head

[@daviddamasceno6063]

I think Nikke and BA communities are great because those are not main stream games. Never open the gates to tourists. Keep the community small, keep the game niche. That's how you keep the community nice and healthy.

[@haiphanduy27]

As a person of like so many gacha community, I would BA and LC(pm community) have the best community, mean while game like.. WuWa.. and GI just problematic. Also there 2 type of person in Hoyo community: The normal dude trying to enjoy Hoyo high quality games and The Normies

[@Caramel_Custard_Flan]

If you're looking for a game to play for the gameplay, BA might not be the best game for you. But if you're into stuff aside from gameplay, like Story,Music,Waifus Or you just need a Gacha to "Chill" on, BA is great. There are *TONS* of QoL stuff that makes grinding extremely easy by just a simple press of a button, the game also constantly giving out freebies and in game reward that you can easily accumulate enough pulls to spark in a few months (the cost per pull is also low, making it even easier to get there as well). And on top of that, we (Obviously) have great community that gatekept Vandalizer Tourist away from the game.

[@ChaosMind10531]

This, Nikke, and Arknights I have played and stayed because the community is so chill andd actually more accepting and inclusive.... Muchmore than those other games where the communities preach about such values.... You post your favourite waifu and or husbando (Nikke, a lot simp for Andersen and Mustang amm) and they they will share their opinions and even simp along with you... Even share who theirs is...

[@jeffzebert4982]

I'm just glad there IS a way to play this and so many other mobile games on PC -- with an Android emulator such as BlueStacks! But yes, a dedicated PC client would be pretty nice for this game!

[@lsoli7021]

BA is great. Genshin is great too, i play it a lot. But all hoyoverse games are too vanila for me. It's not about not enough lolis or shotas, it just always feels like... a child fairy tale. Where characters not actually killing anyone, no blood, no even hints on sex, strange worlds. I'm playing Genshin only for my beloved Nahida and in waiting for Snezhnaya.

[@tsukujam3080]

I too love Nahida

[@kayquexavier]

you definitely have not played enough honkai impact 3rd then, haha

[@doug3454]

I do love Genshin for its gameplay and characters. It's just the general community that is awful. And then the most toxic people of the community have the gall to blame its toxicity on us. As for the darker parts, there is a decent amount of them actually, but unfortunately, you need to dig into the unvoiced world quests, which also tend to be a bit grindy; and sometimes even need to read the lore in papers/logs in the overworld during those questlines for the darkest parts (I'd recommend Tsurumi Island questline, the 2 questlines with Jeht in Sumeru desert (especially the 2nd one - the conclusion of that one likely left the 2 twitter users who played it extremely mad), Narzissenkreuz questline in Fontaine).

[@TheWellplayed]

Im VERY new to BA, and still relatively new to Nikke which are the only two Gacha games I give an iota of fuck about. But im happy to say that both of these communities have been very fun to interact with (atleast here on KZbin and even twitter to my limited experience) both of these games have completely sucked me in with their story and characters, especially when it comes to certain characters that don't look too interesting only for some sorta event, or cutscene to come in and suddenly make me care about them. Sure BA gameplay is lacking (I honestly thought it was a turn based strategy game) but the story is definitely a bug factor in me continuing to play, mainly so I can get strong enough to get past V3 Ch.3 Ep 24 🙃... Im glad I gave BA a shot and can now enjoy all this fan content even more, especially when they involved my favorites characters! (Kanna, Haruka, Azusa, Hifumi, Aris, Momoi, Toki, shigure, Minori...wow, there's a lot actually) P.s. I dont know what your talking about Nikke not needing a pc launcher, any shooter is better with mouse aiming! But, being able to boot up BA really quickly on PC would be great, so here's hoping!

[@ForsenCDPogU]

A little off topic but I genuinely hope you continue to do videos, no matter what direction you take them! I always see people making "hitpieces" on you and generally kind of hate watching (especially with the bringing of ZZZ, it's brought a lot more attention to the loli topic.) I look forward to your stuff so it'd suck to see someone quit or lose passion cuz of some people on the internet!

[@Infinite_Ouroboros]

It's good because it's gatekept. Drama, yuri shippers, virtue signalling etc is all called out the second someone tries to disrupt the community. It was built from nothing when BA struggled as a gacha game during initial release, and the community grew accordingly. BA, being initially unknown, allowed for it to grow unhindered by Twitter freaks to the point where it was too large to infiltrate.

[@Mundanemann1234]

Funny thing os that what made me turn to this community was the genshin community. That place is so suffocating and toxic now... a nere somber from when the game just launched and the community was a wholesome place. BA community is chill, funny and without the toxic stans from communities like genshin. It's funny how this game had succes where other's failed. The cunny does things beyond our comprehension 😭

[@bltzcstrnx]

The problem with the Hoyo community is that it's too big. All big game communities are like this, CS, DotA, Apex, Fortnite, etc. There's a certain point where people inside it don't have the same thinking.

[@1x5x0x7x3]

Don't play the game no more but still an avid enjoyer and always have been. I still keep up with the story, events, and characters, but I wouldn't say I'm an active member in the community and most likely won't be one anymore. It's great to see that a game with such a messy launch, and yadda yadda yadda, have such a great devoted community. I could ramble on about all sorts of things, but it's like 2am and I gotta sleep. gn! EDIT: WAIT WAIT WAIT! NOT YET! I just got to the part where you mention the music AND DAMN BRO THAT IS TOO RELATABLE. I am absolutely OBSESSED with BA's soundtracks and listen to a shuffle of like 70 of them on loop whenever I'm not doing anything else. It's to the point where I even put it in my own videos because I enjoy them so much and honestly don't want to try and find anything else. peak video 👍
