I think i may have to skip this one too, i knew gumi had something up their sleeve with those stepups that started yesterday. Those characters have such a huge disadvantage in terms of chaining that they’re not worth. But at least i can farm mechanical hearts again!

[IceSylph]

Welp, been saving all my Lapis for Nier, so hopefully get them at 7*.

[Cyn]

Fuck. There goes my vow to not spend money chasing a unit again after Hyoh. I don't even really care what A2 gets at 7*, I want one. Fortunately I already have 1 each of A2 and 2b and the banner has a step up.

[Aelfinn]

ive already got 2B and A2 ready to 7*... tempted to pull on their stepups for stmr-ness.....

[Patriarch]

I started playing right around that event the first time around, and I skipped it because i thought smashing the story out was better lol

I'm going to go hard on these pulls, but I can all but guarantee I walk away with garbage

[Dimmauk]

Pulled a Squall and Rinoa today. Both were firsts. No more rainbows the rest of the year I guess.

[Zealot]

So our banners are more expensive than what JP got and guarantee nothing whereas they were given a solid chance of getting one of the rainbows on step 2 and a guaranteed 9s.

I have an A2 and 2B that I paid money for chasing last year and I've never used either of them. I don't care about this banner and I'm not deviating from my plan. Gumi has until Christmas to get its shit together with these limited time banners or I'm out.

They basically changed it from jp in everyway to try to squeeze more money. So full list of changes
Added 2 mini steps raising the cost from 15-20k but yay we get an extra random rainbow
Lose the rate up step and swap 9s for 4*
It's waaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of schedule. They are skipping multiple other limited time banners to put the one that made jp the most money right now before Christmas time stuff.
It sounds like we will still get off banner rainbows
They got a nier select ticket for every 10+1 pull including the step up and got 2 tickets from the raid. So you could guaranteed make a 7* with 1 15k lap. And guaranteed make both 7* with 3 laps... and well pretty likely after 2. Hell pulling for stmrs was actually not crazy in jp

The value between the 2 isn't even close it's like maybe half as much. The irony being is in trying to squeeze even more money out of us they are going to kill a decent part of what made this banner so much money in jp

[Zealot]

Yeah I have no intention of spending any money on this. So, suck it, Gumi.

Yeah had it not been gimped so horribly I might have now I guess I'll throw some tickets at getting 210s

[Teryu]

They really do think nothing of us don't they lol.

[Alkar]

I feel like Christmas will be a deal breaker for most of the playerbase. if they don't get their shit together I think many will give up entirely.

[Delain]

Never got either of the rainbows from the first run, no intention of chasing them now. I have one pod, and I think two MH. I am good.

[dasva]

Watch them buff A2/2B just enough to get people to chase these gimped banners

[Alkar]

2B doesn't need buffs, she's getting released 6-7 months early. A2 GL is completely different from her JP form so they could just make her broken anyway.

[Yuri-G]

DOO is looking better and better these days

[Prothescar]

she's getting released 6-7 months early.

in before the inevitable nerf to go along with the banner nerf for GL

[Teryu]

Yeah that's a good idea, i'm just gonna give this game until christmas and quit if the game doesn't get better. The sunk cost fallacy can go fuck itself.

[Malithar]

While nothing on the news mentions GLEX exclusive or enhancements, EvilLaughter pointed out that 2B's CD skill with breaks and skill unlocks for 5 turns was upgraded from the JP version, being AoE and a full break, compared to JP's being single target and defense. That could be reason for the numbers to be nerfed (65% on JP), or it could be a buff if they're all broken by 65%. Data mine/sneak peak will be fun.

Personally, I don't have much attachment to these two units. I'm not going to say it's not bullshit that they didn't hop onboard JP's limited time banner rules for it, but I'd prefer this compared to botching Xenogear's banners. Here's to hoping they get a clue when (if) that hits. If they continue their BS for it, that might be my limit.
