Gossip: LoveLive! SIF2 Launch Disaster – A Decade of Fan Enthusiasm Trashed!

As the progenitor of rhythm games since 2013, the original SIF holds a place in many fans' hearts. However, the launch of its successor, SIF2, to replace the aging engine, has been nothing short of a disaster. It failed to honor the legacy, instead drawing universal ire from the community.

The game experience is abysmal—ranging from launch-day server stability issues to visual design flaws that make reading notes a nightmare, exacerbated by the removal of UI customization options present in the original. The Gacha system is a major point of frustration: a 39-character 'mixed pool' makes targeting specific cards nearly impossible, with rates plummeting to under 25%. Furthermore, resources are scarce, and the promised 'Carry-over tickets' are restricted to limited pools.

The management's indifference is also striking, as they ignored character birthdays and abandoned the legacy SIF ID system. The community is fuming over 'power creep' so severe that you can get an S-rank just by AFKing. Long-term fans feel their decade of support and account history have been treated with complete disrespect.
