I was just looking for the original game and god I cried so hard finding out it shut down about a year ago. This game was my childhood, I had so many characters, and even though i hadn't played it in some time i was hoping to come back to it. This game was the reason I still hold rythm games close to my heart. I'm glad I'm at least able to enjoy the second game at the moment, even if it might not be for long. Still, the knowledge that my old account is forever lost made me so sad, I don't think I'm even able to explain it. I wish I would've checked it out a year ago to just play it once more 💔 rip, though I'm glad the second one is still up at least so I can experience a fraction of the old game.
I’m literally so sad that it is gone now TT. It’s my childhood memory and still my most favourite rhythm game until now. I remember I practiced really hard when I first started playing the game.
Bro I played sif when I was 5. I played llsifas when I was 13. Those games were so fun to me and I used to always let me sister watch me play, those were good memories. I hate what’s happened because of bushiroad
This is the worst game launch announcement I've ever seen. They should just cancel the global release entirely at this point. I can't believe SIF died for this. SIF was around for a decade, this game didn't even reach the one year milestone. This shows how terrible the sales numbers in Japan must be. This is what happens when pure greed and lack of respect take over a developer/publisher. The audacity to put this game out globally with all microtransactions only to shut it down three months later. It's honestly mind blowing. "Hey guys. Game will release in February. Please spend as much money as you can so we can shut it down in march and ride off into the sunset while everything you paid for is effectively gone. LET'S JUST DO THE SAME THING WE DID WITH THE FIRST GAME BUT 50 TIMES WORSE." Being a Love Live fan really is an insane 10/10 experience nowadays. What upsets me the most is the fact that all the cool content I've been waiting for will be gone forever. I'm a fan of µ's. Being a µ's fan is hard nowadays because there's barely any new content besides the occasional twitter post. I was soooo looking forward to the new content with the OG love live group, but I guess all that just goes down the drain now. I think this marks the end of love live mobile rhythm games if not even love live video games overall. And it's a damn shame. They can't even be bothered to release an offline version so fans could AT LEAST enjoy the stuff thats already there. I mean just take the game, include all content thats already been made and sell it as a bundle for like 4$. Instead, we will get a half assed offline version that lets us look at our album and titles. Wow thanks bro. This announcement genuinely made me worried about the franchise as a whole. Nice video tho!
My other video talking about SEGA and them pay walling NG+ in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, i mentioned about corporate greed ruining our favorite games. Seeing Love Live being ruined by that is adding salt to the wound. I just cannot understand how incompetent the management is with this IP. As far as Love Live games is concerned. Currently the Hasunosora game (LLLL) seems to be doing fine apparently. But i have no interest in Hasu at this time. The Yohane games seem to be fine as well. I have both games on my wishlist so i hope to play them one of these days. So i think its safe to say that the Love Live rhythm games are dead at this point. It’s so hard being a Love Live fan at this point. Liella is the only thing holding me to this franchise right now.
7:50 Yes, All star is the my last best game I played, maybe I play Miracle live before the closure... After i try to play Idolm@ster and I pray to All Star 2 reback 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm a long time love live fan myself and I've been playing sif since jp sif early days (I skipped the first like two or three events tho). I'm not surprised that sif2 is shutting down because to me, the game felt rushed and it wasn't ready for release...(i'm sure a lot of us love liver's can agree on this). I'll be sad to see the game go after having it for so long (well, not sif2 but love live in general) but at least we have the memories we created throughout the years. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end at somepoint and it's love live's turn after so many years 😢
I think this is just for the rhythm game genre. They might venture into other genres like what LLLL and the Yohane games are doing. Who knows if they'll ever come back to making mobile rhythm games. And if they do, I don't want Bushiroad to handle it. Honestly would be better if they just sell the IP to a company that cares.
I played it since I was 15 years old.... I don't have word anymore to express my sadness... They took me (took u's) away our past... With one message and a few days... Like was nothing... Years and years of emotions Gone...
I spent so much money on this game, had super cute Ultra Rares I had worked years to obtain and idolize, stop playing for a few months due to life and work and school come back and the app doesn’t work. Unsurprisingly since it usually had some difficulties or needed updates but I do some research and it’s straight up terminated!?!? I was so sad I didn’t know in time to transfer, but guess it didn’t matter anyways since the follow up game was terminated too. It’s really sad because no other rhythm games Ive seen are quite like love live…
Will School Idol Festival After School Activity end it's service or whatever? Because I wasted (it was so worth it.) a lot of money on it buying all the songs.
Funny this video got recommended to me today, on the EOS date of the global version. Against my best judgment, I did install it, and has been playing since February. And now I've played my last LL song -probably ever- a few hours ago, and I'm sad again. Well played, me. Well played
It's out today and even though it was already planned to end soon, I wanted to play it. And like... from what I got to see of it it's basically the same as the original? But whatever they did to it made it so my phone can't handle it anymore due to its size mostly (also it just kept crashing if I tried to click start before all opening game dialogue completed). Like... 2 GB just for the tutorial? And then once I got out of the tutorial it required too much space and I couldn't download it. I had assumed the changes I saw like all the animations and such were the cause of that, but to fill the void I decided to give Project SEKAI a go since a lot of Love Live fans seem to like that too and like.... it's also got a lot of animations and stuff but only a fraction of the size and my phone runs it fine. Like the interface and story format are identical. So it must just be that it wants to download all possible files at once even though you don't need to be interacting with all possible files at once. >.>
The pre-rendered videos is what consumes most of the space. For example when you scout for new cards, there are clips of each group leader. Depending on the outcome, you'll get one with the Love Live stage backdrop or just the sky. I'd assume they have separate video files for each outcome. In the recent update on JP, they no longer bundle the School Idol Daily Life story which significantly reduced it from 10 GB to 5 GB. Or they auto delete itself after a period of time.
@@NinjaSynFrey Ahh I see, that makes sense, thanks for explaining that. I wasn't really able to get into much of the game since I don't have a lot of space on my phone and it kept crashing on the title screen anyway. I wish it had some better data management, but it's too late. Even if they fix it, I don't want to bother with it and they're not going to fix it because it's going to end in three months. This release really was a complete disaster. Now I'm addicted to Project SEKAI instead.
I’d been playing SIF1 and SIFAS on and off since around 2016, and I enjoyed both. Knowing that SIF2 global would only be around for a couple months, I figured I’d at least give it a chance - but I couldn’t even do that with the game crashing every couple minutes. All the colors were so overly bright and sparkly, I started getting a headache within an hour of playing. The event stories have never been super deep or anything, but the ones in SIF2 felt more dull and bland than ever. And ugh, that “chat” mechanic was just awful. Personally, I might’ve felt better if they just hadn’t even made SIF2 and instead slowly terminated the first two games. It’d still be sad to see them go, but at least I’d just feel nostalgic and not disappointed. Great video!
tried playing for the first time since 2018 and im so lost with all these new sif games. I’ll never understand why they didn’t just revamp the original game instead of making us all restart from scratch.
I'm willing to bet SIF1's limitations held them back from giving the game a face lift. Considering that SIF1's engine is designed for 2D/2.5D graphics. Implementing 3D to be on the same level as other rhythm games would be a massive undertaking. You might as well just build a new game from the ground up on a modern engine at that point.
I started becoming a love live fan in 2020 during covid then played sif and sifas around 2021 and because of this announcement I felt 15% to 30% losing interest to this anime. I even tried downloading SIF 2 on my iPhone X but got locked out of my App Store account so I never got a chance to try it out due to being impatient for global version. Sad to see that it’s only gonna last until the end of May 2024 but at least I have geometry dash with update 2.2 that took nearly 7 years to be released.
Bro i didn't even get to enjoy sif, i played it once when i was a kid but the mechanics were confusing to me back then (english wasn't my first language so i could barely understand most of the stuff there) so i gave up playing and when i tried picking it up again it already has gotten discontinued :(
Been played after 2017 and even after tv anime .and I still feel bad for the n girls.been collecting them since sif 1 and I have been only remember played the game after aqours and the anime aired.and collect the card during 2017 or 17 something.and haven't done reading the chapters of muse and aqours.what happened after that then....and the n girls....I missed the scene of me collecting the n girls because of babambo Sama hired illustrator.famous illustrator like ui San for sif....and because of the Sakura VA,kaede and himeno lore in niji anime ....now I all got left is just the link like and yohane isekai game.....
I think the problem here is that while Bushiroad is both the developer and publisher of this game, Bushiroad never used to develop games, so that's still brand new for them. But whether this is on Bushiroad or not, I think this just shows how outdated Love Live is nowadays and how much of a downfall it's suffered over the past 3 years. And that 2nd season in SIFAS was absolutely sickening, especially when they revealed Lanzhu Zhong. That whole thing was an atrocity. So at that rate, I'm honestly not terribly sad about this at all.
I just downloaded the game yesterday because i used to watch love live school idol project and and aquors before and i stopped years ago 😭 and holy shit this what news i gets its gonne be removed next month and the upcoming game will be also removed at the same year 😭 i get that the anime is kinda outdated these days but holy shi love live/ muse is the one who gives me the feels on this anime and that's when i started to stan the love lovw groups before this make me really sad that they're gonna get terminated I HOPE THEY FKIN RELEASE AGAIN PLEASE 😭
SIF2 is like SIFAS S2 to me. I was not looking forward to it when it would show up, and when it finally showed up, I hated it. But at least with SIF2 I can point and laugh while with SIFAS S2, all it did was make me angry and question my loyalty to LL
Depends how you look at it. SIF2 may have its flaws but I still had fun playing it. The thought of not playing a Love Live rhythm game after March 31 makes me sad.
I want Sif 1 back 😭
Same 😭 I just remembered this game and I'm soooooo sad omfg
Sif 1 is the ultimate proof of "if it ain't broken, don't fix it"
