Latest promotional videos + other introductional material for the Gate of Cassel game
I know that these are known and was shared somewhere in backs of Internet and Discord but my motto is as long it isn't in the open internet it deserves to be shown and as long as there's no categarisation it deserves to be categorised
Also kinda late cuz I was contemplating if it's legal (and ethical) to repost videos from bilibilli but then Hectab posted PV for the 2nd season so nvm (if it is and somebody dms me abt it, I'll remove this)
Anyways, here are the latest (and for someone(including me) long-awaited) character promotional videos for the newcoming game Dragon Raja: Gate of Cassel, also featuring card title arts
(upd: I ended up learning that tumblr doesn't allow more than 1 upload videos so the rest are just pasted url from bilibili, I'm sure it's legal)
Don't mind the cursor, I wasn't aware it's possible to download videos from bilibili in HD/post URL in tumblr so just screenrecorded some of them (lol)
All the info I got is from Gate of Cassel official pages on BiliBili and TapTap (I'll make a separate post with links later)
Chisei Gen
Source and text introductions (obiviously on Chinese, also nothing new for you if read the novels; same for next PVs, I won't be typing this for every one) -- https://www.taptap.cn/moment/568858679923704637
I think the voice isn't exactly fitting? Ehh, it's possible to bear with it. I'm not really an expert in this character
I've caught some screenshots if anyone needs them:
Card title art and what I call the introduction card:
(also there's Caesar in Chisei's introducion, yeah)
Cycled animation (apparently those are supposed to be live wallpapers)
I like the voice acting on this one! And, seriousness aside, my non-asian non-linguistic brain doesn't let me hear anything than him meowing in 0:25-0:27
Screenshots
Title art and introduction card:
and I have a feeling that something is missing... Oh, of course, how could I forget!
Say hiii to Kazama Ruri in the mirror :)
(judging by the expression, heavier makeup (in the novel, no-makup Chime is a subtle (somewhat? maybe not so subtle lol) metaphor for... well, Chime, while heavier makeuped Chime thus is a metaphor for Kazama Ruri). I'm not sure if red kimono is a reference or just a weird angle and lighting, but this also)
Also I believe there's also another not as clear Kazama Ruri appearance in the PV, but I'll leave it for another post (if I'll do it) cuz it needs to come with quite a reasoning and I don't wanna get offtopic
Either I don't know where to look or so far there's no cycled animation for Chime
Erii Uesugi
First of all, I think at the start of all that PV posting there were kinda special PV for Erii or smth, which was also reposted either in someone's tumblr or twitter... I can't find it, so if I'm not glitching, please reblog with link or smth, if it was not Erii's please just ignore
[nvm, I've found it, I guess. I'm not sure if it's official or not. Also this is not exactly PV in same way as others(there's no title art or introduction screen), but it is Erii's for sure]
It looks pretty canonical, but could be a bit more flashy for such a huge popularity character, I think
Koeru Uesugi (genetic father of the three since, apparently, some people forgor)
In the PV his name is Koshi, but I suspect that they just used 2019 game English localisation for all the names, otherwise they'd use Minamoto surname for the brothers instead of Gen and Chime probably would be called Shoujo/Zhinnu (Japanese/Chinese respectively reading of the hieroglyph (character) that is his canonical name in book/Chinese community)
source + text introduction -- https://www.taptap.cn/moment/566316505055101221
screenshots -- I'll post them in a reblog cuz I exceeded the limit a bit
Title art + introduction card:
That's all! Please reblog if you know anything closer to Erii's pv or if you manage to find footage of Gen brothers' ults before I do (there's footage of Koeru somewhere but I'm too lazy to look for this rn).
Also pls reblog/comment if I forgot something and comment if you want me to come out as Gen-Uesugi family lore researcher (/hj, more like walking encyclopedia with couple of theories here and there) and post some thoughts on a few stuff that I've noticed in PVs and other visual materials (not full-on analysis since I haven't really found much, but I'll rewatch the PVs less idly later and maybe notice more things)
Since chisei trailer was dropped I decided to edit the 2019 color palette onto the new design. I wasn’t feeling the color scheme they had for the new design 😭😭.
I am about to say something controversial, please don’t come for me!!
I really really resent Mystreet.
Now listen, I don’t hate it per say… But the fact that Mystreet came out after MCD, using MCD characters and was only meant to be like a funny modern au and then turned into all THAT honestly makes me really sad.
Just that fact that it got SO much more popular, to the point that some Mystreet fan don’t even know the source material is really disheartening to me.
I know how silly this sounds, I mean even I watched Mystreet growing up and enjoyed it, and it helped Jess get even more popular. Like, I know it’s not that deep..
But now that Aphmau’s back and talking about how she’ll be bringing an old series back.. Realistically I know it’ll probably be season whatever of Mystreet. I mean, that would be the logical move right? Bring back the most popular series. And I mean, that’s what everyone’s begging her to do right? But I honestly wish she’d listen to the four of us MCD fans and continue the series that made our childhood and left that empty hole in my soul.
