>>34105836>>34106038Butting in mid conversation, I don’t even think Ethyria incline is a good comparison for what could happen to iLuna.
There was nothing fundamentally wrong with Ethyria when they debuted, they all ended up hugging the 1k line mostly because of an atrocious choice of entertainment in their first few weeks, which failed miserable to either get them a new audience or to court the Lazulight-Obsydia one.
When the boys joined the branch and they ALL (except Selen and arguably Elira) were forced to pivot from their existing content (because HoloEN-Lite ceased to be a viable strategy) the ones that adapted the best were Emma and Millie, with Nina falling flat on her face by trying to build the Nina-Mysta-Mika box and Reimu seeing it, doing a 360 and walking away.
I say iLUNA fails on those two issues:
1) they HAVE fundamental flaws in their content, being neither HoloEN-lite nor Luxiem-style streamers
2) they can’t count on another significant shift in content style for the branch. I say NijiEN reached stability and won’t budge from “the Luxiem show feat. Noctyx and the girls”
In conclusion: I don’t think iLUNA will have the chance to bounce back up like Ethyria did. They don’t have the talent even if the opportunity presented itself
