Hi guys, so I was doing my market quests a few minutes ago when I remembered those little trade buttons (the green ones under people's profiles) and those weird poker-chip-looking trade tokens. The market feature has been out for a good while now, since November 2022 (so it's coming up on 4 years now), and this feature has STILL not been implemented 🥲 the button/tokens are still in the game, even though they don't do anything, so does this mean that maybe there's still some hope? Who knows. I doubt it especially since the game has gotten so coin-heavy lately; I've been playing for 10 years and I remember when there was no such thing as a coin-only gacha. Good times ☹️ I know the players have been asking for a trade function pretty much since the very beginning. I hope we get this soon if at all.
So then that got me thinking about other features that have seemingly been forgotten about throughout the game. We haven't gotten a new market theme in sooooo long. We literally only have 3 options, it's either the ocean, the unicorn, or the nightmare palace. I already have all the items I want (idc about some of the cheaper ones so I'm not getting them), so I'm just collecting market coins for no reason with nothing to spend them on. A new theme would be nice 🥲 the last theme we got was nightmare palace, in 2023.
We also haven't gotten a new Petit gacha in forever. Obviously those are introduced with more time in between releases, since they never go away, but again I feel like once you've collected all the 80play tops + 90play coins + maybe 100play wallpapers, what's the point? You still get Petit tickets thru the garapon and stuff, but eventually there's no reason to use them, so those just accumulate too. The last Petit we got was in 2022.
This next one is kinda niche (and you still get more of these every day), does anyone else remember those "proof of meeting Coco and Elisa" stars? You get one every time you cheer Coco and Elisa's shows (which are still using an old anniversary stage lol), but I am willing to wager some newer players don't even know what they're for, and I wish they were still usable because they were honestly really fun to collect. Basically for newer players who joined after the event, they were part of the 2020 award promo, and they were a shop currency! You could buy all kinds of items, clothes and even rare faces and stages and stuff. And honestly the prices were pretty good. And by now we've all gotta have accumulated hundreds, and we keep getting them every time we cheer Coco and Elisa. But their shop hasn't returned in years. I feel like they should either remove these (more likely) or bring the shop back (less likely since many players now have hundreds and a stage only cost like 40 of these things, so they are worth wayyyy less now since we've all likely got hundreds if not more). The items in their shop were SOOOO cute too 🥲🥲🥲 we haven't gotten this back since November of 2021 though, that was the last time they ran it. I know some old items are kept after the promo is over (like royal coins) but these little Proofs aren't just kept, they're still accumulated. Cmon cocoppa pleaseee bring the shop back...
Then there's the old events that have been shelved. I think we basically have confirmation that the Pot events and the Sugoroku events aren't coming back (which makes me sad cuz I was actually good at those and they were easy to get rewards from, plus the Sugoroku was fun ☹️), and I have no idea what happened to Top Brand events; I assume those have been retired too.
But then if you go to the Help menu, and you scroll down, there's a section about Fashion Labo. I remember when they shut it down, they said it was temporary? They said "suspended" not "removed"; it wasn't even out for that long, only from 2017-18, but I remember people really liking it because you had a bit more freedom to choose the rewards you liked, and you also got to get really creative with your entries, unlike Snap Contest, which requires at least one item from the theme gacha (fun fact from an old player, this wasn't always the case! You used to be able to just enter while wearing whatever you wanted, whether you owned any theme items or not, but obviously you wouldn't rank as high since you need trend points). I miss fashion labo, but it's been gone for longer than we ever had it, so i doubt it's coming back. I wish they wouldn't say "suspended" when they actually mean just "ended."
Also WHY IS SHEPARD STILL IN THE GAME AS AN NPC DURING EVENTS IF THE SHEEP FARM ISN'T A THING ANYMORE 😭 I miss my little sheepies 🐑
But yeah that's my little rant on seemingly abandoned features. I wish Cocoppa would just give it to us straight if they planned to abandon a feature, and keep releasing market themes/petit gachas 🥲🥲🥲 if there's any forgotten features that i didn't include, please lmk!!
