reading the disney at dawn rewrite because it's what the library gave me and trying to assemble a mental timeline without losing my mind

I know some people are going to argue about me putting ikegen in every where but listen....do you think Cybird would take a bold move and produce something different in the future?

Let be honest here. No hate no bias. Ikesen, Ikerev and Ikevamp all have similar base story but in different setting.

Ikesen: Sengoku setting

Ikerev: Alternate magical London

Ikevamp: 19th Century Paris....or is it 18th?

And all the three titles have two things in common: 1. A MC who is from a different timeline/universe and, 2. Time limit. When I played these three games, I didn't care much about these two things because I was still relatively new to the Ikemen series. But later I got tired of the Time limit bullshit condition because it just feels forced and I don't think two people will fall deeply in love in just one month. (hey at least ikesen had 3 months). Some players had their problems with this setting but overall everyone enjoyed it because this is what cybird was mainly known for? Cybird trope.

The next two titles, Ikelive and Ikegen, brought changes. MC is from the same time line as the male characters and there is no time limit. This brings a breath of fresh air as the MCs can take their sweet time to understand and be friends with everyone and also she doesn't have to worry about whether she could stay with the male lead or not (because there are no bad endings). So the main focus of the story can be something else. But unfortunately Ikelive ended before it could even celebrate its 1st year Anniversary and Ikegen....well...at least it was on life support for 4 years, right? IDK much about Ikelive, but people loved Ikegen because it was something different from the regular Cybird games.

Next are, Ikepri and Ikevil, probably the most successful games after Ikesen. I feel like Ikesen, brought them success and Ikepri and Ikevil are the current most successful games. Ikepri...let just accept it, it really benefited because of covid and it was a fresh game at that time so everyone was excited including me. Ikevil well, again it's still relatively new. Both these games have MCs from the same timeline but they did kept the annoying 'time limit' aspect. When I saw that, I was like 'why?' because I thought Cybird is making changes. You know, bringing something new and fresh and bold. I really hoped that both the games contained the ridiculous, brain-dead and nonsensical humor of Ikegen for fun but no. Both games are good on their own and players are enjoying it. Good!

But, after seeing what happened to Ikerev, Ikelive and Ikegen, do you think Cybird would try and do something bold like Ikegen in the future thinking that it won't be successful? Or do you think they'll slowly go back to being the old cybird, where their next game will have MC from a different time line and there will be time-limits in their story lines?

Also Ikevamp fans....giving you guys a heads up, because it seems like you're going to be the next target...
