It's cute girls doing cute things, while living in high school, while being badass magical girls in a fantasy rpg.

It's certainly breaking away from the current cute boys doing cute things JRPG staple.

Oh stop, that is nothing but a more action oriented extension of the "girls gengre". Everything there can found in a mountain of visual novels in the basement of an Otaku nerds basement.

We will see. It might be more than just a VN. Certainly more enticing than anything Atlus has ever done for me.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I 'm kind of a similar thought, but I'm more, "We will challenge the genre!". Game is completely average. I am always interested when Japanese developers step away from their name builders and do something, hopefully, new. Live up to it.

This is what I would call challnging a genre.

I know you're being sarcastic, but that looks like every visual novel of the past decade.

And TMS with no boys. Definitely not challenging anything. I'm starting to think this isn't sarcasm...

I'm trying to think of what there is to challenge when it comes norms in RPGs over the last 25 years. Are they talking about just JRPGs, or WRPGs, too? Do they mean from a gameplay perspective for from a narrative and story perspective like what SMT challenged?

What is "mainstream" about RPGs anymore anyway? They're all so different now. Undertale definitely challenged RPG norms, but they can't do that now because Undertale did it. Catherine was... different. But that was a puzzle game. My brain...
