The mobile version of this game was absolutely brilliant, yeah it was a mobile game but it was really fun and the gacha was extremely non-intrusive if you're just doing the story. Even Collab heroes were free by doing their stories.

ANYWAY

I'm looking forward to this, for sure will buy it.

[Scythiroth]

Yeah, I've never really found many mobile games I like, and I still really dislike gacha in general, but I've played through all of Another Eden at this point and still log in daily for stuff. The free characters actually are quite good in some cases to where you don't feel the pull of gacha that much.

I was honestly curious if something like this would happen after Octopath 0, I'd love for more mobile/gacha games to eventually get this treatment.

I'd be curious to see what changes they make because there's obviously a lot of gachafication relative to character acquisition, growth, power creep, etc., but I honestly hope they scrap skill setting for a traditional ability menu and the QTE hell that was the AF system. I doubt it, but I can dream.

[Scythiroth]

Not sure how many people were really going to get this game, but this announcement really kills my interest in this project.

Selling characters in a single player RPG is just not how you go from gacha to non-gacha.

[6souls]

Bad wording on that season pass, I think they meant it's all 10 characters for $45 or $5 off instead of purchasing each pack individually. Still a bad deal. If successful, this will only lead to Dead or Alive-like DLC gouging.

[Karbuncle]

I look at this two ways.

A) If these guys arent really needed to beat the story of the game and they dont play any part in the game, and are just there for the Mobile game fans who might recognize the Gacha characters, AND you still collect new playable units in the main story as a result that are important outside the base 4 cast... Thats a little better, I'd look at them like I look at cosmetic DLC since this is a single player experience and not a multiplayer game. This only makes it slightly better.
or
B) If these units are story important characters that would theoretically have joined the MC in a normal RPG but they put them behind a paywall cause Gacha... thats a fucking catastrophe and a deal breaker for me.

Cause the mobile game obviously has a metric buttload of characters and nearly none of them play a part in the story and are just there for the sake of Gacha element, but then you could just go the Xenoblade route where you just add an in-game gacha element cause like fuck it thats at least a way to obtain them in the game for fans of the units? In either scenario, $10 for a character bundle is fucking insane for a single player game and releasing 5 seasons worth for $45~50 is also absolutely shit tier bonkers. Regardless, the idea of making a Mobile game into a Single player RPG for people to experience is to not fuck their wallet for characters, and this kind of shits on the idea. Terrible, terrible, terrible choice even in the scenario A example.

Gut tells me its to milk the gacha audience who might play the singleplayer game. A Gacha player knows $10 is worth shit all in a gacha game so they might be banking on these people going "Oh my favorite character is in this bundle and its ONLY $10 instead of $100+!?". But yah, if its just a bunch of randos with no connection to the story only there to appeal to the Gacha game fans who might have some connection then I dont even care about the bundles but still think its a rip-off and might buy the game. But if its again, scenario B, DoA, not playing it.

[Ayn]

Look, I'm a huge fan of this game but yeah this is annoying.

Hell, Benedict (guy with the headband) is basically a 4 star base.

If it was like an entire DLC that was the equivalent of like. . . 5 or 6 of the side stories that somehow folded those character in? Maybe.

But it's a weird patchwork of characters from what I remember. Isuka and Claude can . . sort of fit together, but the others are weird.
