Good news: VPNs are no longer necessary. Loading times are pretty bad, though...

Part of the presentation reminds me of Persona 5, while the basic plot and world setting reminds me Strange Journey, which is a good thing. The gameplay also looks easy to control but might be surprisingly complex and fun, which is the ideal for a mobile game. The 3d models may not look the best for current smartphone games, but for those who don't own the highest spec phones (like me) this is actually a hood thing. Will be looking forward for this one, but still...I gotta say: "Very Bad Man" is a stupid name, even if it wasn't for a sexy woman character.

Game is not working?
I can't start the game, but seems like everyone else can play it normally? There're even reviews. Is the server under maintenance now? Or is there anyone else having issues starting the game, too?

List of bugs I found so far
*Cut-scenes from chapter 2 onwards are a total mess. characters are misplaced and often appear floating or clipping inside objects. The camera usually zooms in into a wall or the floor.

For those who might be confused: This game had a JP and SEA server before, but both were shut down, despite the game itself being very well received at the time, and the CN and KR servers are still doing well. So, what happened?
From what I heard (might be wrong about a few things), the CN and KR versions are pretty f2p friendly. They give you plenty of free characters, lots of free summons, decent rates to get S ranks on the gacha and generous rewards from clearing story and events.
Then, DeNA, the publisher for the old JP version, decided to change all that. Some of the free characters became gacha-exclusive, rewards and free summons are scarce, gacha rates are worse, etc.
Not much later, X.D. Global published a SEA version called "Eternal City", which was based on the old JP version and inherited all of its issues but also had some new problems of their own, like skipping collabs and slower updates (seems like the translation team couldn't keep up).
This time, this new JP server is being handled by NetEase themselves, so maybe it will be as f2p as the CN version, and maybe, if this server is a success, they might try to make a better global version, too. Read Note

Camera issues during story
The camera gets all wacky during story cut-scenes from chapter 2 onwards. It was normal during chpater 1, though. Wonder if anyone else is experiencing this same issue.
