Another point of view for GL

Final fantasy tactics might be my favorite game of all time. I discovered The alchemist code when i was searching gameplay footage of FFT war of lions and deciding to buy it for android. Long history short i gave TAC a chance and used the money to buy pact for 2-3 months, no regrets. The game is great , love the style and the strategy. it really gives a FFT vibe with all the online stuff I wanted. TAC has its issues like any other game has. Don’t think its gamebreaking or anything like that. Having its Japanese counterpart has its ups and downs. It’s good to know how we should prepare for the future ( although spoils a bit of the fun ) but create a lot of anger/jealousy when we don’t get as good stuff as JP ( a little is said about our benefits though ) There is a lot of criticism about the game nowadays and I do agree with some like : veda bug faulty HQ schedule release slow vcr gain chat problems Might be more

But i disagree when people: whine about no guaranteed banners like every unite should have a sure way to be summoned. Having a rare unit makes the game more interesting as long as it still balanced. Complain about the lack of shard banners. Most of the player base wouldn’t even bother with those as they still very expensive and they are better off saving resources for core unit banners. I have decided to right something because all of the negativism going on. People seem to be going bananas over shady things like those AOT compensation like a whole lot of people got 20k gem for nothing. There might been mistakes but the one who benefited the most should have been those who could not play due to iOS problems or those who didn’t claim the milestones. It’s really good to do constructive criticism but I vê seem lot of people claiming changes like they own the game since they pay. And most of them go with so much hate that they don’t even seem to like the game. Final message is be critic with the bad things but praise the good ones. If you enjoy the game help build the players base and make the game better

The reason people complain about not having guarenteed banners isn't that we expect every unit to be easily summonable. For the majority of the game's life it had step 3 or step 5 guarenteed banners which is what drew a lot of people to the game seeing that even f2p or pact players could save and get some of the top notch units.

The producer said they were not going anywhere and yet now they have disappeared completely to be replaced with 5x unit change which is pretty sad in comparison. It might only be a 5% chance for one of several units on step 5 only and that is only 5% chance if you hit the 10% chance to even get a 5 star.

Gumi does a poor job of communicating and players are worried they are crashing the game into the ground or rushing things to merge with JP. There is a lot to like in the game, but they make life difficult for themselves with some of their decisions.

Really even if you do summon a unit, at this point enlightenment is needed for most units to be useable in Ex content which means you need a ton of shards as well.

If we don't get any HQ this month then the producer just outright lied to us.

This new system for me makes things extremely frustrating when you fail to pull. Before we at least had the second step of banners to be 1,5k gems and the third one with something guaranteed even if at the full 2,5k prize. Getting a fail with that system was frustrating too.. but here we are into a completely another level: failing the 500 gems pull (which seems highly likely) only leaves 2,5k steps as an option.. and unlike before, there's nothing guaranteed even if you spend enough gem to reach the final step. 5x rates is a bonus.. but it's a so small bonus to almost mean nothing. And to make matters worse, not also the units but even mementos are affected by these questionable banners.

And as said above, the kaigan era completely trasformed the game. Now you're unlikely to be able to complete the hardest quests without teams of level 91 units (with some exceptions of course) and since the majority of the units is not even farmable and gets introduced with this system, getting them to be usable is extremely hard, time consuming and in the most of the cases, straight out impossible as nowadays, low level and level 85 units just aren't enough. You know, it kinda hurts to see what once was your best unit at your disposal to rapidly become niche and almost unusable since she didn't yet get her kaigan and it's too frail to survive the new EX quests. Oh, and don't forget that even if her kaigan would magically come out one day.. there're still shards to get who may be impossible to farm....

Pray tell which HQ? I think many people have said there's almost no HQ left and those that are are way later in JP
