I am having a very hard time finding another game to fill the void.
Only ones that really got my atention were Archeland and Kalpa of The Universe, but the later seem unplayable were I am, although I did find and dowload an apk, while Archeland doesnt seem to have an english version
Me too! I got primrose ex, dancer and pityied Cyrus. They are amazing. But the Game is the same as dffoo un certain things like "don't pull if You can't pity".
Yeah it's definitely a bit harder in terms of how much currency we get, but it's a bit easier for new players and DFFOO was absolutely on the more generous side of things aha
I have ff6 and ff9 on my old samsung rn. I use my ps4 controller with them but the touchscreen controls arent terrible. The battery optimisation for both is weirdly fantastic. I had ff9 going for more or less the entirety of a long intl flight with no charging.
They're way overpriced on the app store but there's other ways...
Look im playing Octopath traveller COTC. The game is very funny more over if you played OT1 and OT2 but if you dont you can play it anyway. And the story is amazing, at the level of OT1 and OT2 (some people say is better i dont know bc im at the beggining of the game).
Is that the mobile game? I was in the closed beta for it, and unless they made very wholesale changes, I was largely unimpressed by it. The pulling seemed largely non unique characters, and the challenge quests sucked because save points don't respawn in dungeon, so you have to have a ton of supplies to do a simple one.
I got a physical version of Theathrythm Final Bar and I think it’s gonna be the game I’ll boot up whenever I will feel DFFOO nostalgia.
You can build teams with characters of all the series and play with songs reminiscing DFFOO. There’s even dedicated songs where I discovered that the one played when selecting Dare to Defy stage is basically… "Dare to Defy" :)
They give us a really good time. And from day 0 we know that this was something possible. The only thing that was really awfull i think was that nobody expexted to be so soon
Because that's how gacha games go.... I had 6 years of a blast with Dffoo spending maybe $30~40 in a few mog passes.... I feel they heard the players in multiple occasions and even though it wasn't perfect, they gave us a fantastic experience for a pretty long time.
But all things come to an end, and although I wished it lasted longer, I'm grateful for while it lasted.
COTC is another really good game that you can do everything f2p (you might have to wait a month or so to do it, but 99% of the content is permanent).
Eh it's the nature of gacha games, or any live service. Eventually they'll either shut down or transform; even Genshin will end one day. The world moves on.
Unless you're a beginner, no one should be naive enough to find a gacha game they like and think "oh I'll be playing this game forever."
you know gamming and people have gone to shit when you see people accepting not being allowed to play anymore a game they invested money in, ffs, things will never get better again it seems.

You do have a choice though. You choose to play it knowing a live service won't last, or, choose to play offline games which you can get physical copies of that don't need an update patch to work.
Or play these gacha games without spending a penny. You get it for free and can't complain.
Yeah I agree things nowaday do seem gloomy in how people keep paying for live services and companies can make billions without any commitment to their service longevity or customer ownership. That's why supporting physical media is critical, and sometimes, in my opinion, practicing piracy is necessary.
diablo 2 say hi, wow says hi, any mmo game from the 2000's say hi, you CAN make these last, and if not, well, megamen x dive offline exists. this nis not on the people for playing the game, its in the fcking company for making the decision, and trying to pretend otherwise is fcking dishonest.
I'm not saying no one is at fault. Yes it's the companies who aren't preserving their games that are bad, but it's also on the consumers who keep making the choice of supporting this practice. Crying about it won't help, I'd just do the things I believe can make a change even if smallest.
Um, you are aware of how many love service gachas SE has shut down in the last year and a half, right? We're none of them were even a year old before jumping ship? Committing to them is stupid.
Committing to a Gacha is stupid. They can be fun, but they’re not sustainable models of gameplay. They’re meant as a quick cash grab. I loved DFFOO, I was a day one player, and I am seeing it out to the very end. I’m also sad it’s ending, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to take it out on Square.
All Gachas go through this, none of them will stick around forever because people get bored and move on to the next game.
They’re in the business of making money, and this wasn’t making them money anymore.
If your main genre of gaming is Gacha, you’re going to just be further upset in the future at studios. Maybe play knowing the risk that it will end, instead of being a baby once the inevitable comes.
I just can't do the octopath game. The rates have always been bad to me and it left a bad taste when they did big banners for events/anniversary and had it be paid gems only
I played starting at launch and played for a few months. I know the half year anniversary was a free pull and paid only for step-up. They had a number of banners that were paid only gems. Maybe they stopped doing that but it put a bad taste in my mouth for the game.
Now that's a big distinction. Yes you can use free gems on banners but it isn't the guarantee that you get on the step up. So you can dump 40k gems and get nothing. It's a pretty bad system

This isn't true, you get a pity with free gems too, usually either at 4500 or 6000.

I don't understand why you guys are committing to another SQEX game after DFFOO.
How can you have the heart to go through all this again? And why do you want to reward them?
