    Game still looks good but not coming back lmao I'm retired from gatcha

    Made it out of FFBE a year ago from beta having spent under 100 so I'll keep it that way. Though I am interested in how the story is playing out may have to watch cutscenes on youtube

    I like how the Trailer still doesn't even have the Main Characters in it, its just Big tiddie Waifu bait plastered everywhere. Marketing 101

    (Yes I know ONE of them is there, but Rain and Laswell can just eat shit I guess lol)

    To clarify, when I said the "Trailer Still" I mean the Still image, I.E Thumbnail, but I forgot the name of it at the time lol. Didn't mean the whole dang video.

    Oh my bad.

    I mean for what it's worth, initially I was like "..Wait, were they even in the whole video?"

    Does anyone here still play? I haven't logged in since like the KH colab 8~ months ago or so. NV just really killed my motivation, power creep went diving off the deep end real quick.

    I dropped BE once 6 stars started to be a thing and opera omnia was smoother and more fun. Granted I no longer play that either, but it would be my first recommendation to anyone who wanted an ff collab game

    Yeah, I lost a lot of motivation once 7*s hit. NV was just an extension of that "I'll never have nice things..." feeling. Not that it was my only problem with the game, of course, but just having XYZ characters is pretty make or break for harder things.

    I had literally everything in the game but I also probably dropped at least $1500 on it over two years and also I was botting. I had a program that would let me run the 0NRG tutorial battle nonstop without me needing to actually play the game. I could grind out 20 TM rewards a day.

    I stopped cold turkey one day, it was around the Tournament Arc in Season 2, for much the same reasons as you, except I left before Power Creep went to 12 apparently.

    Think it was around the time we got the one long anticipated Unit that was upstaged by himself on the same banner? Laswell's teacher in Season 2, they released him and his alt form on the same banner and the alt form shat on the one we were all expecting? Its been a long time.

    I still play. Sort of. I still log in at least, and even farm some of the events if they seem decent.

    Yeah, I remember that, people were all diamond hands for Akstar, and they add GLEX Zeno, which is just Akstar in armor, on the same banner, that nearly doubled his damage.

    Are they still giving beginner gear out for events? It was so rare for any gear from events to be useful.

    I still play. Its all about NVs now. I mostly just play to waste time.

    I stopped playing it around NV time, gatcha was just getting blatant and the season 3 story was barely holding my attention.

    Wait this game still exists? After dropping $300 to NOT get Lightning around year 3, I said fuck it. Now I gamble in the stock market. I can still lose thousand of dollars, but occasionally I make money as well!

    I still log into this occasionally, do all the free pulls I have stored up, go "oh, neat" and then log off again. nothing will ever beat having four Beatrixes anyway

    also RIP Shaly
