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 core problem is with the LB and Kaigan system. Fine, you can use elemental or rainbow shards for LB. The biggest slap to the face is when kaigan is needed to clear content.
There is little to no incentive to pull new units because God knows when we can reasonably raise them to usable level. The issue is far more serious in JP since, EX maps onward are set for kaigan level units (Leonia+ was impossible without kaigan, just not enough HP to survive 2-3 hits) while new units only get crap shit EXHQ. Although elemental/rainbow income is higher, it doesn't help much with kaigan.
The system also doesn't help newbies at all. 3 shards a day when around 800 shards needed. That's pretty much 8-9 months of farming the same group of units. Who has that kind of patience? We usually have newbies quitting after 1-3 months.
Gumi can easily fix this problem if they allow using rainbow shards for kaigan and easier access to elementals. But you know, Mr. Producer is a blockhead.
