If the censorship would decline in Japan, I'd bet a lot of competition could be possible.
But, Korea is killing it, no denying that.
China is mostly with gacha spaces.
The trilogy having competition is always a good thing.
If Korean devs put more effort than mostly f2p/gacha games, Japan has no chance in hell. π₯΅π₯΅π₯΅π₯΅ They're improving but still ways to go.
