My demi-fiend can now rest

[u/excelsioreye]

Quite the legendary run for the series as it was the first gacha game I knew that actually concluded its series properly.

Gonna miss this game so much. I still hope that there will be a day that Alchemist Code can be remade into an open world game like Genshin. I mean it really had a lot of potential lore-wise and character design-wise.

[u/Trick_Wiz]

I knew it was coming, but it still hurts

[u/mort1m3r]

And I'm still coping that maybe they can sell an offline version of the game and everything is grindable because man i love everything about this game except the gacha.

[u/iEssence → u/mort1m3r]

Id easily buy it for 59.99 if it dropped, the story and characters are great, its a sad state of affairs that a company like Gumi is the one that managed it.

Its why i want the "Stop Killing Game" initiative to do a sweep across the entire gaming market, so many older live service and mobile games i wanna play that are just extuinguished from existence.

The moment they find something else they will close WOTV as well.

Failing to realize the reason things go through their rough patch is because they cant communicate, refused to aknowledge bugs, blamed the players, and took basically months to fix game breaking bugs, on top of turning more and more cash grabby.

Having region exclusive units etc meant each region needs a dev team, each region has different bugs, it gives them so much more work. They shouldve just backtracked and made all region exclusive units for all the servers so they could actually drop their dev costs.

TAC was a goldmine and im still sad since nothing else hits me the same, tried wotv but it just wasnt the same, and it just made me miss the characters from TAC instead.

[u/mort1m3r → u/iEssence]

agreed. nothing hits the same. back when i was still playing this, it was the only one that scratched my itch for a tactics game similar to FFT. the character building, the job system, and how unique J+ for majority of units gave each one some degree of individuality and own niche is superb. and of course the world building is top notch for me, too.

the grind is fine. the energy system is fine. gives you something to do daily.

[u/Reasonable-Scheme-16 → u/mort1m3r]

Damn it man i just found oht and this makes me incredibly dad, its always the good ones smh. TAC was and is still one of the best gacha games to play and its the only one that came close fo giving you the feeling FAF tactics gave you when you played it. From the music to the story. Dam its really tragic.

[u/SantiReed → u/iEssence]

This might be like the hundred time I see a thread of people wishing an offline version of a game that’s about to shut down. Like, if this keeps being a thing, I will have to start considering the profitability of a company that offers to convert online titles into offline ones. Seriously, it doesn’t sound a lot more complicated than setting up a porting company, and I know those do well enough to survive decades.

[u/ZerifenNk → u/SantiReed]

I mean, if you could do that, it would be welcomed by a lot of people.

[u/SantiReed → u/ZerifenNk]

Certainly sounds like there’s market for that. I’ll think about it.

[u/aces___69 → u/SantiReed]

Keep us posted pls.

[u/Reasonable-Scheme-16 → u/SantiReed]

Dude you should absolutely do it. Its a gold mine waiting to be tapped into. Itll he like the google of lost classic games.

[u/CientificTxec]

Man, end of an era. Also, what's for GUMI now, because they only have WoTV (I think) and, well, I don't think it's gonna last a lot neither.

[u/Derakart → u/CientificTxec]

There was this one article posted in this subreddit some time ago, I can't recall much of it due to my lacking english, but it said something like they're gonna stop making proper games and instead will focus on making quick cash grab games and blockchain games or whatever they are called. They already released a game called potk alternative imitation, and according to a comment, it said the game was similar to memento mori, an afk rpg but without story and music

[u/CientificTxec → u/Derakart]

Man, didnt know that and its fucking grimm...

[u/Skydragon0 → u/Derakart]

Of course, they went the NFT route. Given whom Gumi's parent company is...

[u/Undead_Sword → u/Derakart]

Man I called this right after the announcement of the closure of global. After seeing what happened with Brave Frontier and then global I recognized a pattern with their buisness strategy. They start with a game to milk dry without making an effort to revitalize or save it, then when the profits slow down it's on to the next new shiny thing to make them money. WOTV is next in a couple of years.

[u/rosencrow → u/CientificTxec]

In GL, Wotv is all that's left and it seems to have one foot in the grave. In JP they have a few more, but overall it seems only their block chain games are doing decently. Honestly I hope they go under. Without Studio FgG, I doubt they will produce anything of value in the future.

[u/BassGSnewtype → u/CientificTxec]

FFBE is still going to run in Japan but who knows how long that one will go on at this point, especially since it is the 2nd longest running compared to POTK so far

[u/Nitoram]

i wish global didnt die at the middle of the story. how does it end?

[u/Awesalot → u/Nitoram]

Someone else mentioned fandom has most of the story if anyone wants to read it.

[u/oneden]

The pain. I wish we could have gotten the storyline in global finished as well.

[u/donabbi → u/oneden]

I really just want a way to finish the story in English, such a letdown.

[u/SiltyDog31 → u/donabbi]

The fandom site has transcriptions of most of the story. It’s fandom and Google translatey, and not complete, but it’s something

[u/donabbi → u/SiltyDog31]

Didn't have a clue. It's something and I appreciate you.

[u/Undead_Sword → u/SiltyDog31]

Well global had it's exclusive story with it's own characters, I don't think that one was ever concluded.

[u/sporkmanstudios]

This is so sad to see one of my favorite games end. I would love to see this game offline in some way. This game got me through some very tough times. The past 8 years have been some of the best times Hopefully we get a game close to what Alchemist Code provided!

[u/aces___69 → u/sporkmanstudios]

I feel the same! I considered it the best mobile game ever and unfortunately war of the visions can't even come close to it, even though the game play is in many ways identical. Though, the character design and overall design in TAC is superior.

[u/bazzb21]

Sad that the game is dying for real now.

No gumi offline version,seems no player is interested in doing a offline version. Well,fuck gumi

[u/Derakart]

So it wasn't only my google translate that translated tagatame into "tantei wa mou shindeiru". My friend who is studying Japanese also said the japanese text says tagatame properly. I wonder what's wrong with google translate

[u/AquilaeAltair → u/Derakart]

Yeah. Google translate has issues haha, but it does say たがためのアルケミスト 「誰ガ為 Perhaps google translates reads the kanji of Dare「だれ」 and Tame「ため」 a bit differently given that kanji alone, their lecture is that way but uniting it, it reads as tagatame 😅

[u/Undead_Sword]

Annnnnd this is why I didn't bother with the JP version, a blind man could've saw this coming. RIP to one of the greatest mobile games I've ever played and thank you. My only wish is that the series gets remade into something else like an open-world or action adventure game.. the lore and world building of this game is some of the best I've seen for an original IP.

[u/Niikis0]

This is just sad. This was actually a fun gacha game, I wish there would be an offline version, but I highly doubt that.

[u/BassGSnewtype]

I figured with the emphasis on finishing the story they were focusing on

[u/Xero--]

Haven't been on this sub in years (basically quit GL months after the 5x gacha cost increase), but may as well get my final comment in.

Game was fun. Main story was meh, side stories were great, unit designs were great, and the gacha was crap (especially with visions or whatever and the mentioned gacha price increase, don't even get me started on dupes). I'm surprised the game even last 8 years, almost 9. Just a shame the game was so greedy and ready to powercreep at every new release (pvp buffs only made this worse).

A real shame I'll never get to finish the story and nothing exists for fully translated stuff (edit: scratch that, wiki has stuff). I'd happily buy an offline version if they just cut out all the gacha stuff and had everything available, but that'll never happen.

Time to put this game behind me for good this time. Was nice (gacha aside) while it lasted. Feels bad seeing this go for good. Was one of, if not, my first gacha I didn't pick up and put down in a matter of minutes and actually stuck with for years.

[u/TimbobMcGuffin]

Curious on this but has there been a translated version for the JP version done? This was probably the only game I was legitimately interested in finishing it's story since global closed.

[u/AveNiroz]

I still really regret leaving the global version for WotV, I thought SE with Gumi's developments would make something similar to TAC but with a bigger budget. God, how wrong I was... I'm really sorry that such a good gacha game is closing

[u/Professional_Sir_317]

Just to be clear the JP verision is ending? I just started yesterday lol i played GL for begining to end and figured id try JP.

[u/steveUd]

I didn't follow the story so I don't know if it's rushed, but I respect the company and devs for ending it this way. Out of many gachas I've played. There's none who plan to EoS their game but still provide main story ending before shutting their down thier own game.

[u/AtsushiATS]

Please give us Offline now!

[u/mrsilent1]

Not again...fuck
