I'd credit the artist if they didn't mostly do porn, oh well.

Yorokobe, shounen.

You will get your wish.
When the game gets good.
Now this is what I like to hear.

Just got my feet wet yesterday and it's already looking much more promising than the beginning of the previous singularities. Also holy difficulty spike batman. At least for the first few fights, I actually had to put some thought into them instead of facerolling like I've been doing until now. Wouldn't have it any other way, it feels much more immersive (and fun) to actually struggle a bit on what's supposed to be a canonically very difficult mission for the protagonists. Granted it eased up a bit after the first few nodes but I'm guessing it'll pick up again eventually. It probably "helps" that I always limit myself to story support servants. Excited to continue it today.

So I ended up playing some more E7 as I got Angelica on one of my opening rolls today. It's funny that it has the opposite issue of FGO, which is as you guys have said already, there's too much to do. It makes me question what the middle ground needs to be, because FGO feels like it always misses it. Events can often be too grindy, but when there's not an event the game can often be completely dead.

Ah well, in 6(?) days CCC will start and this will all be irrelevant. E7 just doesn't have the same appeal as this game to me, but it's fun to play while there's nothing on and the game is fresh (for me).

Since we're talking about E7, I'll mention quickly another Aniplex title is getting a Global release. Magia Record!



And that's all I'll say on it here. Feel free to join me in the Gacha OT to talk about it more, haha.

Hold up, there's a Madoka game?! Shit, is it any good from JP impressions? I might just have to check this out, much to the dismay of my free time D:

I only care for gacha games if they either have an entertaining story to follow, good characters, genuinely good gameplay or are part of a franchise I'm already invested in. From all I've read about E7 its story and characters don't sound particularly interesting, and the gameplay looks somewhat average with lots of grinding, so it doesn't tick any boxes for me. I've been trying to get into GBF lately just because its art direction is gorgeous, but it's been difficult to get invested due to the overwhelming amount of systems and menus. It's very unfriendly for beginners and the gameplay hasn't clicked with me so far, but I'm willing to stick with it for a while. Another Eden looks interesting, I'll check it out for Masato Kato and Matsuda's involvement. A Madoka game already ticks at least one of my criteria (attachment to the franchise) so if it has a nice story or characters then I'm all in.

If you haven't already started Another Eden now is a great time as global got Japan's anniversary bonus (please take notes fgo) and right now it only takes 20 minutes to do the first 10 roll and not 3 hours.

I've been told it's surprisingly good, but I haven't followed the story at all.

Yeah, it's been going for about a year and a half in Japan. From what I heard, the first "arc" is nearing its completion, but like FGO I'm sure they'll just start another one. The game seems to be doing well.

As for the gameplay, from the videos I've watched it looks pretty similar to FGO. That could be a good or bad thing, depending on your preference, but I'm absolutely okay with that.

They're also making an anime about it.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll start it soon then. It looks pretty interesting.

Well, looks like I have another hell to walk into gacha to play then. I do wish FGO had a bit more moment-to-moment depth/strategizing but I'm otherwise perfectly fine with its gameplay, so I'm guessing I'll enjoy this one too.

They're also making an anime about it.
Hopefully it turns out better than some of the other game adaptations I've watched. Now if only they would make a sequel to Rebellion.

Damn. I was hoping for a surprise drop tonight.
I'd allowed myself to actually be expecting it, so I'm quite disappointed that we have to wait a few more days. I want to roll already! I'm trying to conserve my luck so I haven't made a premium-currency roll in any of my gacha games since around Valentine's (Azur Lane doesn't count because cubes aren't what you pay money for) and my need to roll is very real!

On the other hand, early back button is quite nice.
more quartz for Kiara!

Saw the 15 SQ and thought they were making up some of what we were screwed out of (by giving us more than the JP social media campaign gave), but nope! Just 5 new SQ.

They're so fucking afraid of addressing how we've been getting treated lately that they replaced the Q&A with a quiz. We now have zero opportunities to get questions answered and complaints addressed.
I mean, any problems you have would have just been Albert saying he knows and is trying to work on it like the last dozen times.

Did you guys watch Shotgun Shogun's stream? Dude is fucking embarrassing. Saying he was going to go Alex Jones on them or some nonsense if there's no Q&A at the next panel.

As someone that constantly mashes the attack button before using skills the back button will be my lord and savior.

Damn. I was hoping for a surprise drop tonight.

Would've been nice with the bank holiday Monday I guess, but I struggle to play on holidays anyways so I dont mind.

What will people bitch and moan about now?

Can't stop won't stop until they start fast tracking animation updates again.

Hella excited to finally know what the fuck the deal is with the connection between the Mooncell and the FGO universe. There are some questions i have about Extra that wiki dives don't want to answer or spoil. I doubt the event they will leave out an explanation for this weird concept.

you forgot servant upgrades from strengthening quests and interludes
Getting these kind of rewards early just means less rewards at first, the total will increase over time with more servants and associated quests. Retroactive rewards are fun because you get a lot of free shit since you did all the work in the past, at least i don't leave any of those quests for later.

eh I was just adding to the list of what will be complained about, I'd be fine with just getting animation updates earlier.

I mean strengthens and interludes are kind of relevant to the balance of the time and story of the time, so I don't think they really need to be fast tracked, though I get it can be frustrating if you have a or like a servant that's weak until they get theirs.

Animation updates are a pure QoL thing that should be implemented ASAP

Animation updates are nice to have, sometimes it's on certain events related to the character and if they want to be consitent with it i guess only japan HQ can decide in the end. Heracles and Drake got some nice ones i am waiting for.

Back button, drag select, and autoburn are three of the best QoL improvements. Now all NA needs is event CE filters and the ability to move equipped CEs around in party selection and everything will be great.

holy shit the copy party function!
That would have been super useful to me during previous events, there's also more stuff that wasn't listed in those tweets, nice to see we're finally leaving the fucking stone age.

Does JP even have that?

That's great I completely missed it and it's been someone I wish we had a few times when creating specific parties.

Shotgun Shogun has been Not A Whale status for a minute now. He would bring up Alex Jones lmao.

Back button is neat and all but copy party is what I really needed in my life.
