Huh, guess it wouldn't hurt to go with that answer then.
I guess they also toned down her BSDM tendencies cause she seems like a completely different person now. What a shame, those moments had me cackling to the point I nearly died.
I miss the fact she whipped Schezo a few times in a bdsm-like dungeon.
Here just an image with barely any context.
I honestly wonder how this would fly in a SEGA-developed Puyo game. That being said, I'm not going lie, this right here is one of the reasons I want to see Succubus (along with Incubus) return for the mainstream games.

Just as amazing as the last set of art. Personally, I especially love Lagnus and Kikimora here.
BTW, I noticed a little something. With the addition of Swordfighter Rider getting a 7* upgrade, I take it that Swordfighters Raffine, Sig, and Klug will be getting theirs soon enough?
I was going to bring it up myself, all of the new *7s have been released on a series by series basis and the Swordfighter alts are considered to be a series as well, so one always beig added alongside the regular series makes sense and I totally expect Sig, Raffine and Klug to get the same treatment as well.
Yeah, I figured that might be the case.

You know, I forgot to bring two things up in my last post about Succubus, how do you all think Succubus would interact with the likes of Sig, Lemres, Klug, Risukuma, Maguro, and the male SEGA-era Puyo cast in general?
The second thing was that Succubus' BSDM tendencies doesn't look like they've completely disappeared. As a matter of fact, it's implied that she still even looks the part due to her guest appearance in Puyo Puyo's 5th Drama CD.

If I had to guess about how she'd react around those characters...
She'd tease the shit outta Klug.
She'd flirt with Lemres and get frustrated when he politely rejects her.
She'd probably realize quick Sig would oblivious to that kind of behavior and rather just- Be awkward about him.
Risukuma? That's... Really hard to say. Probably be very awkward about him.
Maguro? She'd tease him until she saw his face... And then Maguro was never safe again.
And the BSDM tendencies haven't? Oh goodie~ I'm thrilled to hear that.
Pretty much what PPF said in terms of interaction, though I'd assume she'd make note of Sig's demon arm and get curious about it.
About the Drama CD thing, you brought it up before, but do you know anything about the context of her appearence? Because I'm very clueless when it comes to the Drama CDs.

Wow, that's pretty cool, guys. Well, I guess I'll post my thoughts...
Sig - If anything, I feel that she'd probably be interested in his ENTIRE demon heritage (
Klug - Yeah, she'd probably troll the heck out of him like there was no tomorrow, and then Klug insults her personality, as well as her intelligence under his breath, but within earshot. I think we all know how this ends...
Lemres - Honestly, I'd LOVE to see her flirt with Lemres, just to see how he'd get out of this one. I can't imagine things would go over THAT smoothly, but knowing Lemres, his charisma would help him find a way.
Risukuma - Yeeaaahhh...I also imagine Succubus being pretty weirded out by him. If you've seen Puyo Tetris's cutscene with Ess and Risukuma, that's pretty much how I see things playing out. Basically, he'd be one of the very few males that Succubus would feel a bit uncomfortable lusting after/or just plain avoid altogether. When you're a girl who's willing to lust after Schezo of all people despite his "mannerisms", it'd be surprising that you'd have a limit.
Maguro - Just like Klug, she'd probably tease him like she would anyone at a young age, but the moment she accidentally gets a look at his face...well, let's just say that Succubus would be hellbent on "making a man" out of Maguro, much to his terror and misfortune.
Oh, right. I never told you, but recently someone helped me translate that Drama CD fanart thing I showed you and asked to spread the word about a translation. I'd like to mention that this response will be a bit lengthy, but it's for context.
That being said, Succubus (AND Incubus) had a little guest appearance during what was essentially supposed to be a makeshift Q&A session with Ringo and Maguro, and the various aspects of their lives (their friendship, life experiences, and how life has been treating them overall ever since being part of the series' cast since the events of Puyo Puyo 7).
This being said, one question directed at Maguro was about his 'beautiful face', resulting in Ringo claiming that when the two were kids, she honestly believed he was descended from a lineage of gorgeous demons. Because of this remark, Incubus crashes the Q&A and states his suspicions that Maguro is of his and Succubus' race. Heck, he even thinks they're long-lost brothers due to their purple hair, handsome faces, and popularity with women.
This prompts Succubus to butt in to the Q&A to remind Incubus that first of all, he is talking about himself (an 'immortal' demon) being related to a mere mortal' (Maguro). Second, he shouldn't be flattering himself that Maguro might take after him, stating that even if Maguro has the same powers as her and Incubus, he probably doesn't fail at picking up girls like he does a daily basis, and third, she claims that being related to a womanizing dork like him would be a curse in and of itself.
Interesting, wouldn't have expected something like that from the drama tracks, then again one of the only things I really know about them are the covers, which don't suggest much of interest and after the Light Novels ended up being such a big disappointment (and outright infuriating at times, see my rants regarding Arle/Sig in the LNs) to me I'm generally keeping expectations low out os sheer principle.
I know, right? The fact that two of my favorite Madou-era characters are interacting with characters from PP7 aside, I never figured Succubus even had such a "snarky" streak in her and could roast others like it's no one's business. Not to mention that she's apparently the "straight man" between her and Incubus.
All this being said, I know what you mean about how the Drama CDs and LNs never looked like they had anything of real substance, though when it comes to what's actually IN the Drama CDs, it looks like that might not (always) be the case. Heck, the 7th(?) Drama CD seems to reveal (for the first time ever) Amitie's family, among other things like Lemres being descended from nobility and (supposedly) owning his own radio station.
As for the LNs...well, let's just say that I'm still wondering what the deal with those dragons on the cover of Ally's Puyo LN...
BTW, I made a post about Dragon (the Puyo character) on my Tumblr.
Ah yeah, I saw that one, to answer your question he's not in Quest, I'm not sure if the game even makes reference to him, in any way.
Really? Well, that's too bad. I can only hope that SEGA even remembers the poor thing. Honestly, it feels a bit odd not having him there with Chico.
Say, I'd like to ask you something else. In the event that Puyo Chronicles get localized, do you think SEGA would take liberties again with the translation like they did with PPT?
Considering how well recieved the english script was I really don't see why they wouldn't, I'd certainly appreciate it in some areas, I mean remember how I mentioned that the one cutscene after the Amitie vs Raffine match has Ringo aknowledge Sig's presence in the english version, while that's not the case in the japanese version?
Well, with the way the cutscenes are presented it would be very easy to re-write some stuff to have less then 80% of Sig's interactions shared with Amitie, considering that out of the 20+ other characters he only has a meaningful amount of interaction with one other chara and while I can appreciate that the chara in question is Arle it's still not anywhere near as much as with Amite, which is pretty sad, especially when seeing how well Maguro does for himself this time, actually being treated like a part of the larger group, as opposed to him just existing as a token friend for Ringo, for once, instead now Sig mostly exists as just a token friend for Amitie, which makes me appreciate the new Quest Manzai all the more.

Yeah, I figured you'd say that. The cutscene you just mentioned aside, I LOVE the little "pop-culture" references PPT's English dub got to throw in, like Risukuma's "We CAN rebuild her. We have the technology. It's around here...somewhere...", and something about Draco's ditzy nature over believing she's the cutest of all feels more "tolerable" to me in English. Heck, overall I'll just say that the 'A' Trio, Rulue, Schezo, Satan, Risukuma, Maguro, Ecolo, Lemres, and Suketoudara all ESPECIALLY feel VERY enjoyable to me in English rather than Japanese.
Honestly, as much as I LOVE that Maguro got WAY more time to shine in Puyo Chronicles (to the point that he actually FELT like he was part of the main cast, rather than just someone for only the 'A' Trio to talk to) I really feel like this character interaction issue needs to be worked on. I mean, Sig's (and Raffine's by extension) existence in this game felt so...inconsequential, to say the least. Maybe SEGA should take a look at the work they did on 15th Anniversary to see what they're doing wrong...
BTW, I don't suppose you saw my Tumblr post about the Primp cast, did you?
In Sig's case it's not just a Chronicle problem, Amitie has become increasingly omnipresent in everything he appears in ever since 20th Anni., to a point where the Light Novels go out of their way to have Arle and Ringo act out of character so that Amitie can be the only to have any thoughts or feelings worth a damn in regards to Sig.
While the games have never gotten that bad and stuff like Chapter 9 in PPT, Arle's interactions with him in Chronicle or the new Quest Manzai with Kodomo Dragon, Jan and so on do make up for it to a degree, the thing is just it's not like I hate the Sig/Amitie dynamic or anything, I just find it disappointing to see her shoved into everything that involves Sig, while his other relationships are barely, if ever, touched upon in any meaningful way, I mean just look at Ocean Prince, sure PPT has him complain about Sig just running past him and the flavor text for Sig's easter alt mentions him helping Salde out (since he previously had such an alt as well), but you know the last time when the two properly interacted? 20th Anni., which as of now was 6 years ago, let that sink in for a second.
Not sure what you mean, you mean the fanart of the class? Because I did reblog that.
Oh, I saw that. Thank you, by the way. Actually, I meant the new post from a few minutes ago.
BTW, I forgot to mention this in my last post, but is it true that Puyo Quest seems to claim that Black Kikimora isn't just Kikimora's evil twin, but biological sister? I'm not saying it's a fact (especially since I used Google Translate), but still, how interesting would that be, huh?
Care to share a link? Because I'm still not sure what you mean.
Eh sure why not, it's not like she had a terribly expansively explored background to begin with.

Sure thing. Here it is below:

Yeah, you have a point there. Hey, maybe SEGA could open up some new ideas for interaction between them if thy are related.
BTW, I just noticed, if Black Kikimora IS Kikimora's twin sister, I'm fairly certain that they would be first (canon) blood-related Madou-era characters to be playable in the Puyo Puyo games.
Oh, that post, I did see that one, though you said that the post you want me to look at is about the Primp Cast, so I was left a little bumfuzzled at what I was supposed to look for.
I guess so.
Yeah, that was my fault. Sorry about that.
Say, I'd like to ask you something if you don't mind. Do you feel that characters like Minotauros and Momomo should serve as NPCs in the form characters you can interact with, but can't be playable?
It would be better then them not appearing at all, but I dunno.... non-playable appearences of previously playable charas always feel like a gigantic tease to me.
