... One of them dishes out all sorts of butt-stompitude and doesn't care if people like him or not, while the other goes on stage and actively tries to get people to like them?
... Or is it the bishounen factor?
... Forums slow as molasses right now.
... Fu...
EDIT: ... Huh, the forums are loading faster now. Earlier it took me a few tries to even get here.
Scotty:
Yes, lets put down a profession instead of....whatever it is Bleach is about.
I'm sure you'd try to want people to like you if your job depended on it.

Probably the bishounen factor, then. ^^;
Maybe a they're-not-my-kind-of-cool sort of thing, or something?

Thanks for the comments, we got a lot. Ryuuguu are rivals now, but they'll continue to walk together with the rest of 765Pro as the series continues. Sorry about Jupiter, but they're staying, and we had lots of discussion on this internally. No online battles, hardly anyone played online, but thanks for your support at the end of ArcadeM@s' online scene. This game concentrates on your battles with NPCs.
We'll have online rankings and DLC in Im@s2. Information to come (about this, characters, and what's in the Im@s2 world).
Oh yeah, and RESTART is the message we've wanted to get out since like, July when we announced this.
I think that sums it up. Maybe we oughta watch for promotions within BNGI after release. Personally, I didn't see anything new.

What they're really trying to say:
"Ryuuguu are rivals now, but they'll continue to walk together with the rest of 765Pro as the series continues." = "Azusa, Ami, Iori and Ritsuko will no longer be playable ever again from now on, sucks be to you."
"Sorry about Jupiter, but they're staying, and we had lots of discussion on this internally." = "There's nothing you can do about it, ha ha ha."

I see where you're coming from there. But one thing you really got to ask yourself and others is this: Are you really content on seeing the same thing, same unaltered gameplay and storyline, over and over for like, how many possible installments? I don't think many people are seeing the big picture much.
Another thing: Would keeping things 100% the same is good to keep a franchise alive? This move may cost Namco some fans, but it in itself should help them get more new ones.

And -why- the hate for male idols? Are players -that- scared that male characters have been introduced to the series? Jupiter wasn't put in the game to be love-rivals; they're put in the game for the sake of Kuroi having something to play with while we overtake 961. Again.
And I don't believe RK was taken out because Jupiter is in the game. That's a way uneven amount of stuff to cram on that disk; the amount of space Ritsuko, Iori, Ami, and Azusa would've commanded is, without a doubt, way more than the bit Jupiter took.
I don't get all the hate for the new content XD That's how the game is going to be. It's a -new- iM@S game.
I'd only call it a shame because it isn't subtitled and overseas, yet.

They'd be a fool to waste so much money on those stuff, then just thrash everything after the completion stage.
Shipping is the biggest reason I see so far. I mean, so far, that's the direction everyone sees Jupiter is headed. And I won't be surprised if they did.
Agreed. I can say this with some confidence: Jupiter can be in iM@S2 while RK doesn't exist and their members are producable by the player as default. So why aren't they producable? Check my underlined statements earlier. Now, why are they the unfortunate victim of Namco's decision, is a mystery to me.
Same. Though I can get their rage over it since...well....they're new, in the sense that I wasn't expecting those form of clothing (No comment was my first reaction to the new costumes).
Doesn't everyone here who can't own this game say that?
