Last draw, got Hallessena, Vane & Lancelot and Agni.

Not bad, although I'm sad that I missed out on one gold moon for an choco bar, got to wait for next month now.

Oh my god Lucifer stop! I have 3 copies of him after FLB just mocking me. The roulette just threw summons at me, with some gold moons in SMF. At least I have enough Disparias to FLB.

For new characters I got only Vampy and both SR Elta. For summons the only good was my 4th Prometeus and my second Shiva.

Nothing too great but at least I now have 8 weapons with +99 marks.

Why is this the first time that I actually believe in a rate up in this game? lol

Let me look at the individual rates. They don't seem different.

Got both Dark Jeanne and Charlotta (Light), ON MY FIRST ROLL. A girl with a chainsaw and a catgirl I don't care for, Vania on my last roll. I got Lady Gray, Neptune, and Altair. Overall I'm happy.

Got 5 ssr in the first super mukku roll. That would have sucked since i need +1, but one of them was a uriel dupe so it's cool.

I was fishing for fishies, instead I got my second Varuna. Too bad I'm broke, so she's probably going to be stored in the closet without a grid to work with. Overall the event was good to me, got some nice stuff, nothing really game changing, EXCEPT FOR BAHAMUT!!! time to use those sunstones.

I mean yeah, the timing is also kinda suspicious, could be setting up an april fools joke... but it got removed from both the chrome store and github, so dunno.
Just FTR, not an april fools joke or anything. the reason it was a mess is that somebody in a ~10-person discord channel saw an early draft of the announcement (before takedown was finalized) and decided to go cause drama on 4chan. I got a nastygram from cygames a couple days ago and it turns out the person who sent it also sent the DMCA a year ago (but filled out the form incorrectly so I had no way to verify it was cygames). A wild 2.8 years overall. I'm bummed that it caused some people to freak out or get into arguments

I had to delay the announcement like I did so that everyone would see it at once to prevent hearsay and arguments but naturally it spread before the announcement time-delay kicked in. 😩

I got Disparia from yesterday roll.

100 roll give me : Halle, Vania, dupe casual Zeta, Macula and dupe Halle

Super Mukku give me : dupe Djeanne, dupe Vania, Dupe Halle (again), dupe Razia, Nacht and Lunalu.

Well, pretty happy for Vania and Djeanne. And getting Halle and Lunalu are a nice bonus.

Sadly this whole roulette doesn't give me any useful summon. I got my 4th Zeus (and i already MLB 1 with 3 sunstone, lol). I need Hades or Luci.

Thanks Cygames for being generous.

Already suptix Olivia last week, lol if i have to bench her for Djeanne.

It's a bummer that Cygames finally put their foot down but it was going to happen sooner or later. Hopefully they're working on some of the features that made Viramate so useful.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Thanks for the hard work over the years Kate.

Viramate dying is really painful for me. I've only played GBF for a year but I think i'm done with it (at the very least i'll be spending next to no money on it) unless they get their shit together and fix their UI.

I can't imagine having to go through the massive grind while having to endure their crappy menus.

Thanks a lot for your work. Viramate was indispensable for a lot of content and it's going to be hard going back to a time without it.

I really dont see them making any improvements, if that was anything they were interested in doing, it would have shown after that first DMCA that they were interested in adopting some of its features to make the game feel less outdated.

Some of the performance features are probably most significant. Game just feels like it is running like crap now.
I wonder which of the features was so upsetting to JP players for there to have to be a pitchfork mob whenever someone was exposed as a user. Oh well.

So. After a ridiculous month of freebies, time to take stock.

3 gachapin frenzies + 2 mukku frenzies + 1 super mukku
3 100 draws including the last day
2 10 draws, everything else 20+ (I think)
Sparked on flash fest to get Shiva
Bought the anniversary ticket to get summer Zeta and complete the bikini society team
A FLB fimbul, probably could have picked something else but whatever
An atma spear
18 new SSR characters
Lots of limited summons
So many moons

Dang

On the other hand, playing after these freebies end always feels sad

W/o Viramate, the UI is hot fucking garbage. Having to jump between channels for shit is annoying as fuck already, there's a lot that the extension offered simply as a QoL that I will miss out of fear of getting banned. Meanwhile Cygames has made 0 headway in improving the UI beyond simple graphical changes.

GBF's UI is not something I'm particularly willing to forgive, the basic QoL improvements over the vanilla UI aren't even revolutionary. Even for its time of release, the UI is particularly tiresome to navigate compared to other titles. For the amount of time they've been around and popularity they've gained, they've done almost nothing to improve it.

It's cool that the game is 5 years old but it never hides its age. Any sort of inventory management is a nightmare with the archaic UI, most of the time I just let some items rot in the time limit crate because I'm not in the mood to navigate from one menu to the other, over and over again, just to clean space.

When Viramate goes out I'll definitely play GBF a lot less (a lot). The game's default UI is a pain to use and no quick-skill buttons or Viramate's item tracking will make grinding even more tedious and time consuming than it already is.

for me, the Viramate aspect I'll miss the most was the actual HP numbers- it allowed me to optimize my skills in non-raid battles

Going to miss the favorite option for support summons, I liked having a neat list of summons I use most of the time.

Also, more Vira? She the current character with the most number of different versions right? Korwa probably a SR.

Seeing as this version of Vira could possibly be an delusion from the Lowain bro's, with their event happening soon, I wonder will she be some weird gimmick character like Freezie.

That artwork for Vira confirms it lol. Looking at her skills made me go 'wut'. Need to see them in action.

Wanted to shake the urges to use my sparking fund by drawing with single ticket and unexpectedly got Anila, yay!

If I read all of my unread stories I'll get another 13,500 crystals, and that combined with my current crystal stock as well as single/ten-pull ticket, brings me to a few hundred short of 90k crystals. It'll be close, but I can make the spark.
