Allow me to redirect your attention to this post, while the Cosfest Day 2 photos are still being “processed” since they came out blurry and stuff. From a DSLR.
Anyway, there’s this typical run-of-the-mill based-on-anime-art MMORPG called Luna Online. I had originally intended to play this game, until a certain other cute game (with better gameplay *cough*) came into the picture. There’s even a local flavour here too.
So badass.
In the above screenshot, you can tell what sort of people play this badass game. The game is loaded with CUTE. I can’t tell whether the player characters are lolis and shotas or are just plain chibi, especially since all the NPCs appear to be full grown adults, chest and all.
Being a cute MMO, you’d expect young people (kids/teens) to play it, right? Especially since there aren’t any mature themes.
And then I saw the advert.
Apparently, now we have yuri in this game. If I am to take this advert at face value, it means if I play the game, I can expect to see loli elves and humans. Making out. With each other.
I’ve received similar reactions from friends, so I know I’m not the only one who gets this impression. I mean, honestly though, I know they were going for “cute”, but could they at least have tried something…less deserving of a Mature rating? Not that I’m against homosexuality or anything.
This isn’t worse than the whole Evony thing though…oh yeah was that a total fail. Some people actually started playing just to see the non-existent Queen too. And now they’re actually trying to revise that fact. Eep.
‘Course, when you think about it, it does look like official art. I wonder what the devs have in store for the game. Then again, I’ve seen pantsu on Dragonica official art (no, I will not tell you where it is), and it doesn’t look like that game’s turning into an eroge soon.
Meh.

Saw the banner and dropped.
Seinime´s last blog ..Summer Anime Openings, part one
Another case of misleading advertisement? *sighs* When will the madness truly end?
TP´s last blog ..My Intellect Comes in Random Numbers
anyway the boys there in the game look pretty much like a girl too LOL :X
but lol still dunno why the hack they use two female chars for the banner… n is yuri even allow in the game itself… den i have yet to try…
i played the game before :X n dropped it
It sucked that bad? Damn.
i actually made one of my char look uke-est of the uke so … i guess so? he really look like a girl lololol! i dun have the SS of him tho coz i drop the game already xD
Wait. What. Pantsu?! Dragonica?! WHERE?!
Lacrymosa´s last blog ..Oh dear lord.
It’s one of the mages. I saw it at the last Dragonica event, since they had a large poster of her.
I like yuri…. and I like Luna online… And the banner is cute.. XD Idk what makes the game different if two girls or even two guys are kissing in it. …anoo… Actually the official banner on the site when I saw the two girls kissing is what got me to play the game XD ;; ;;
Since when did yuri mean “mature” content? I’m willing to bet that if the banner was just a guy and a girl kissing, everybody including you wouldn’t be making this such a big deal. Lots of MMOs allow dating and marriage so just what makes Luna Online so different?
Even if it was just a guy and girl kissing, I’d still raise an eyebrow. I wouldn’t mind cheeks touching or even cheek kissing, but this is lip-to-lip my friend.
Of course, you could scour the Internet and help me find lip-to-lip-kissing ads for MMOs (and I have yet to see anything like that). But you do bring up an interesting point though: just how sensitive should ads be?
I spotted this ad while reading through Least I Could Do (which contains sensitive topics), so I guess it’s sort of understandable. Especially since I was wrong about the target age of Luna Online.
But seriously though, they’re trying too hard to attract the stereotypical, yuri-loving otaku. A cute scene would have been enough. Really.
define yuri….
If you want to see a strong muscled man full of testosterone and sweat, then go to WoW or similars.
If you want be a pedo-pal in a world full of “kawai” loli/shota and epic battles (…yes), then go to Luna. >:3
Be a Bi (…¿for Bridget?).
u ppl r immature o3o
in my day… / G’day,
omg… lol im actually addicted to this game now, however i naver have seen that add before…
my friend played it and i was bored so yeahh…. it starts off mediocre then turns into average gameplay later. 
And Evony is the CRAPPIEST game ever.. although the evony advertisement was the thing that got me to start playing it… and i wondered how they could mix pron and a game together… and yeah… totally nothing related… i wonder who was the idiot to do a unrelated add… but yeah..
k thx bye…
OOH YAH
and i have not tried the small time passing thing of being able to make a farm and yeah… i also wonder how the farm thing will relate to the fighting/adventure based main.
did i say yeah enough in that?
WTF. Whats wrong in two cute girls kissing, i dont see the big deal in fact that add. made me play the game XD
