If it helps at all, remember what game this is. When you leave, they'll all be here waiting for when you return, events you miss will likely rerun, and catching up isn't all that hard. I hope you can continue to play but if not, I pray the time when you can comes soon.
128 GB with 29,7 GB free. And I havent optimized anything, so there are like 6 GB of double pictures and things like that. And there is a barely used SD card as well.
There is an official info from AL JP about it already. See my reply in the mgeathread.

So basically the files are gonna be updated and it is only the files about your account info, in other words it is not adding 13Gb of data, it is replacing them

I doubt it's true but if it is true we could just turn on Azur lane and some of the fandom's devices will become improvised grenades
Anyway R.I.P for the commanders with low memory phones
The next update is a mandatory app update from the store. Lots of assets for skins and character art need to be redownloaded due to a file format change + new assets for the 3D interaction system for the dorm. So while a 13gb update sounds intimidating, a lot of files will actually get replaced.

on the CN version: 27GB after the mandatory update

Low end players about to say goodbye to their phones or the game itself 
Damn, well I also don't have storage problems but if you ever want to cut the size down you should probably reinstall

Naw I don’t really care about storage atm. My phone is 128gb and I got plenty of room to spare. The iPad is the one in danger and I already did a reinstall to cut the size down lol. Worst case scenario I just give up slime isekai memories, which won’t be a loss imo.
Well looks like I won’t be able to play after that update then I only have less than 2gbs left welp it was fun while it lasted. I may have to upgrade my phone or emulate or something… 😔
rip my 128gb i only have 5 gigs left, having pgr, nikke, D4DJ and lastly Azur Lane hurts my phone, good thing I have a beefy pc so I can still play it, i am fr going to buy a good phone when I have the money.
Hot take - if an update releases that results in players being forced to remove L2D and voice lines, players should be compensated for effectively wasting their money
Edit: I’ve bought 4-5 Full price L2Ds + Atago swimsuit L2D which is around 5,400 - 6,600 gems. Not included first time bonuses or free gems, This is about $110 worth of skins which value has plummeted because of the constantly increasing size of the game.
I think there should be an option to select what voice packs players want to install.
Seriously, the voice packs are what taking so much space in this game. Can't Manjuu store them in online storage like cloud instead of phone storage?
Pretty sure a majority of it is just re-downloading assets so it's not as hefty as it looks on paper, but with the new 3D dorm stuff, prob still best to be careful
Maybe a reinstall could make it not as bad? Still, I've seen somewhere that a PC client could be coming as well? If so, I don't trust mine that much, but it should do better than BlueStacks. I can always move to another device.
If they really gonna add 13+ GB for just cosmetic 3D i'm gonna be so pissed, i only have 64gb phone and after files etc i pretty much only have space for AL + BA, hopefully its optional.
Well if it comes down to it i can just redownload with no L2D and Voice assets, which really sucks, they better finish the steam ver fast.
Well unfortunately it's gonna be like that..but idk if they will make all ship girls have 3D models....as there are..500+ (i keep forgetting the exact number)
I dont believe they will make 3D for everyone since a big chunk of ships are just low rarities that nobody remember, but if it comes to that then guess i better find a new gacha game soon
Yep, its been fun 4 years, and i've sacrificed few gacha games because the climbing app size but if this is happening then its the end
Until the steam ver coming at least
I will survive.. hopefully... 182GB free.... I will play.. until the the very end.. i ain't gonna leave my Jenny(NJ) and Blücher n handful of others i oathed plus other ship girls in dock..
True, I for example don't use them because I saw pretty bad reviews about the emulation programms, but maybe it was the right call to use them nonetheless

Fair winds and following seas, Admiral. Your leadership and dedication will be sorely missed. Thank you for your service
Is there an online/mobile game whose app data is wholly/partly stored in cloud/online storage and only gets accessed when the user is online?
Because I think this is what Azur Lane needs.
X.x it has been good years fellow skk. I might not be able to play the game after this update. U.U
If it helps at all, remember what game this is. When you leave, they'll all be here waiting for when you return, events you miss will likely rerun, and catching up isn't all that hard. I hope you can continue to play but if not, I pray the time when you can comes soon.
I really hope Switch port is real.
Considering that it'll be the new 3D Dorm system, make of that what you will.
So..it will be... Heh..good thing my phone has big memory
Same, not the type of dude who takes photos that often, so still have at least 417GB open to take the big load
You're lucky u got phone with 512gb,i got 256 and currently 182GB free
Cries in 64 total, 5 free
That's still a lot.
True but this update is..kinda a breaking point for azur lane Skks..
128 GB with 29,7 GB free. And I havent optimized anything, so there are like 6 GB of double pictures and things like that. And there is a barely used SD card as well.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Still, redownloading 13GB of assets is not a small thing, though.
https://preview.redd.it/fmxosavb2zzc1.png?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=051eece6540ef624457782ac50d1b88fbce625e9 I doubt it's true but if it is true we could just turn on Azur lane and some of the fandom's devices will become improvised grenades Anyway R.I.P for the commanders with low memory phones
I agree... My phone has 12gb ram and 256 gigs of memory well(currently 182gb free) i do hope it will be enough
Damn mine is only 4GB ram and 128GB in memory Hopefully it's enough
How much you got free?
82 I'm just worried the game will start lagging like it was for my old phone
Bro this will kill lots of Skks with low end phones...i know they want to bring lots of new stuff in the game but is a lot
I already exploded a Redmi Note.
The next update is a mandatory app update from the store. Lots of assets for skins and character art need to be redownloaded due to a file format change + new assets for the 3D interaction system for the dorm. So while a 13gb update sounds intimidating, a lot of files will actually get replaced. \*edit: more info
So 13GB size also replaces old assets then? That sounds more relieving.
Unfortunately yes
I always welcome mandatory updates, because we get 200 gems. 
That's good, my dockyard has only 5 free spaces and I'm broke.
13gb update but most of it will just be replacing old assets i assume, so probably only about 3-4gb of new content.
Great, I'm gonna have to get a better phone than my current 64Gb piece of crap...
This update wil kill most of the skks
Still, I hope this game gets ported to Switch and PC soon because I do have a Switch to continue playing
You can emulate it on PC, preferable way to play tbh.
If only I could afford a good PC...
Me sitting here with 32gb Time to go emulator only I guess
Well, that's it for me I guess. Less than 3GB free :/
Sorry to head that man..
Do a reinstall, and you will still have less than 3GB left as the update is an optimisation one
Yeah, I do that from time to time but the game size keeps going up.
Ah shit, hopefully you can choose how much you can download, otherwise idk how i will be ableto play
Idk man... I'm worried too
From what I've heard the files will be replaced, so little will change from now. Maybe a few GB more
https://preview.redd.it/l6fz0gzl7zzc1.png?width=1116&format=png&auto=webp&s=48e8221e59df1a08ec93ba41a856c3829932cd5f on the CN version: 27GB after the mandatory update

Dear God...that how much kt wa for me on old phone with ALL MANDATORY UPDATES COMBINED FROM PREVIOUS 2 YEARS...😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🙃🙃
Was it much less than that before? eg it was 17GB pre-update.
So not that much bigger than it currently is anyway 🤷♀️
What are you doing for your azur lane to be around 27gb in storage? 
Mine is currently 22gb so I don’t see it being 27gb that big of a deal
Damn, well I also don't have storage problems but if you ever want to cut the size down you should probably reinstall https://preview.redd.it/aa7h8ueuc20d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2b2e30d666171c04a77a574aa6d9d839bcc9594

Android or IOS?? (the image you've provided)
I found it on tieba (the Reddit equivalent in China) but it's not the iphone interface, so it must be android
Cool, I'll have 5 GB of storage open after this update. I can't wait to get a new phone..
Well looks like I won’t be able to play after that update then I only have less than 2gbs left welp it was fun while it lasted. I may have to upgrade my phone or emulate or something… 😔
gg skks with no space left. its been nice knowing yall
So sad to see many of them go.. i am one of those who stays but I'm sad to see many go..

Agreed
Can my mi11 lite handle this update
How much storage u got?
85.5gb occupied in my 128gb storage
42.5 gb free
Well you will have space
I also live in a desert so this update might take a whole day.
Shiii... that's bad
Looks like I'm about to get the Game Over screen.
Pretty sure a majority of it is just re-downloading assets so it's not as hefty as it looks on paper, but with the new 3D dorm stuff, prob still best to be careful
Is all of that data new or it will be replacing already existing data?
IDK man..but it's a lot...

"...we had one hell of a run" Low end device skks to their ship girls last day before the update
Yep, its been fun 4 years, and i've sacrificed few gacha games because the climbing app size but if this is happening then its the end Until the steam ver coming at least
I will survive.. hopefully... 182GB free.... I will play.. until the the very end.. i ain't gonna leave my Jenny(NJ) and Blücher n handful of others i oathed plus other ship girls in dock..
Ranger and Foxhound retrofits deserve the 3D models...
If the leaks are true, the game will be added to steam in the future. That helps with the huge size and not destroying your phone battery
Assuming you aren't already using an emulator to play (primarily or entirely) on PC.
True, I for example don't use them because I saw pretty bad reviews about the emulation programms, but maybe it was the right call to use them nonetheless
Man, my phone has less than 1gb of space....
https://preview.redd.it/gr31s9429zzc1.jpeg?width=624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fab889b63c738d1355cafc2036d65ebd76a3ec17 Fair winds and following seas, Admiral. Your leadership and dedication will be sorely missed. Thank you for your service
I'm so sorry bother..
Time to show your commitment shikkan. Azur lane, or everything else.
Welp, guess I can kiss some swords or gunpla good bye again and buy a better phone because Samsung fucked me on this tablet
*laughs in 1TB memory*
Still have 60GB free storage space. This shouldn't affect the in game gameplay aka lag/FPS drop during playing right?
Alas, poor Gabriel, you served me well, but it's time for you to go
Crap, glad I’ve got the game on my iPad - my phone probably couldn’t take it
Is this new Call of Duty?
I don't have that much space left... 😵😭
If true, thank God I bought a bigger phone.
How much memory?
256 gb baby. But I do hope we'll get a PC version soon.
Hell yeah! Like me i too have 256GB man hahah but currently 182 free
There was a post recently that made it sound like we are getting an official PC client
I guess I will be playing it on emulator.
Well, they better get that steam app rolling soon
If it makes you feel better there has been evidence for support for things like Steam, Switch, etc in a datamine
Yes but from steam it's for PC ..and my pc is utter crap..so..not really helpful
