And it's Haoplay on my PlayStore :D
They are both the "real publishers", but I dunno why it has to be this way, lol. (Sunborn == Mica == self-publishing)

Both are real, but they didn't explain the publishing situation to the public lol. I think it depends on your region. Sunborn is self-publishing EN, but somehow there's also a haoplay site in English. Maybe it is meant to be used by European?

JP / KR / TW are all haoplay only.

Huh, I didn't know that about the Hoyo games on Steam. That's unfortunate. I was hoping GFL2 on Steam would mean I could play on Deck, but if the Steam version is gonna be gimped compared to the regular PC version than I'd rather not...

Quick summary:
  • Weight of dolls differs between models, but they are not heavy enough to crush furniture
  • Release date comes shortly after CBT
  • Event and banner schedule will be different from CN. Sojourners of the Glass Island will be the first event. Part 1 and 2 will be available at the same time (Great decision imo because it's the event involving (doll name) Suomi)
  • Covenant (oath system) at launch
  • Some skins from GFL1 will appear in GFL2
  • Collaboration with other Mica games (GFL and PNC) is in development. Other possible collaborations are under consideration
  • Simple introduction of the gameplay
  • OST will be released once there are enough songs for it
  • Photo mode is under evaluation
  • The team browses fan content regularly
  • Regarding publisher: the content is the same between both publishers but account ownerships are different. No cross region play
  • 120 free pulls in total if objectives before launch are reached. Announcement coming during CBT period
  • Development team joined official discord


Also a GFL megaton news
M16 is back

I quickly made a reference table of dolls' name in GFL1 and 2. Put a threadmark so you can jump to the post easily.

I have only included launch units here. Going to update the table once new dolls are added to the game.

CBT trailer. Narration being Nemesis's gibberish is certainly... a choice

Looks like there is also a CBT for haoplay server. First-come-first-serve.

By the way, which server is everyone looking to play on for the actual release? I know Steam (Haoplay) is nice and convenient for a lot of people but not everyone has access whereas MICA should just be a download on their website so everyone should be able to access it right?

Congrats! I got nothing, so it looks like I need to try the battle royale route. :cold-sweat:
May the odds be ever in your favour.

Thank you. Have fun! I will be playing the PC version from Mica site. Seems to be the safest one if you plan to play it for years to come.

Didn't make it in myself either. But two people in my Sunborn discord have and they're allowed to Stream/Clip.

For now I'll just stick with catching up on GFL 1 Story.

Gonna go with the official Sunborn/MICA one. Good way to avoid any future licensing issues or whatever.

Is anyone playing the CBT? I managed to get in the haoplay one and just now finished chapter 1. It is exactly what I expected: fantastic character models, great music, slow-burn story, and really wordy but interesting side content. The models are just gorgeous to look at on the big screen. Also unlocked the dorm but I have not yet played with the camera too much. Among the dolls I got Cheeta is my favorite. Just a well-presented and funny character.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game. The long wait is so worth it.

So apparently the Haoplay client supports more languanges than the Sunborn one. Which makes sense cause Haoplay covers most of Europe.
Now, both Haoplay and Sunborn obviously support English, but apparently the localisation is different :confused-face:
Would be curious to know wich one is "better".

Apparently translation on marketing materials are different but I am not sure about them in-game. :thinking-face:

I'm not gonna lie, i suspect some AI involvement on the TL front.

GFL1 has actual human TL team for the EN, KR, and JP versions. People you can actually talk to in the official discord, or who have presented themselves on Social Media.

For GFL2 to suddenly support many more languages than the base 4, (CN, EN, KR, JP), I do think AI/Machine TL and maybe a human does an overpass. But obviously not good enough. Hopefully with the Beta test here and everyone reporting the localization slip ups, they'll course correct back to humans. At least for EN i think they will.

From what I understand the Sunborn version of the game supports only those same 4 languages. Only the Haoplay version has the additional languages. I dunno what quality standard Haoplay usually has for that (and whether they use the same EN script).

The system settings are definitely MTL. Translating "medium" to "center" hmmmmm.

Just my experience, the EN script in chapter 2 later stages start to get a bit wonky and seems to be not yet touched up. There is even one instance where the JP voice was saying something different from the EN script.

Meanwhile, I am interested to know how's the KR localisation since there is KR dub in the game.
