User blog comment:Dorayaki/Your expectation for Aikatsu Friends?/@comment-26426093-20180208034843

If I am to be honest, I want Friends to do some worldbuilding and finally give us some concrete explanation regarding the Aikatsu system itself. That alone is a plot device capable of changing the entire course of a season, as well adding some tension and mystery to the plot (of course, what happened in Stars might repeat itself in Friends).

We also need more love for side characters; Aikatsu is very bad at this in particular, to the point where some main characters themselves get sidelined (obvious characters are obvious). Side characters should be more involved in the plot and at the very least subtly influence the development and experiences of the main cast.

Since this is the beginning of a new series, I'm fine with taking my time when it comes to the release of new songs, coords, other content and so on. But once the series reaches its midway point, that's where the honeymoon period officially ends, and Friends will constantly need to be churning out new (and original if possible) content to keep its fans happy, budget or no budget.
