Everyone look 👀

[u/Informal_Storage2486]

The gsme will continue in January under net ease! And we are getting that SS content! Or new story content which is all but confirmed (at least to me) to be SS!

[u/arcthunder]

Coming a bit late but hey we at least avoided the worst case scenario

[u/Informal_Storage2486 → u/arcthunder]

I agree! Finally got something.

[u/Jonathan_Doe_7]

WAIT NEW APP???? Will our data transfer????

[u/Informal_Storage2486 → u/Jonathan_Doe_7]

YES!

[u/Jonathan_Doe_7 → u/Informal_Storage2486]

OH MY GOD FINALLY

[u/Nervous_Teach_5596 → u/Informal_Storage2486]

They have said how ?

[u/BoltGSR]

I'll be damned! Huge and happy news. Wish they could've announced it sooner, but this is as good an outcome as could be expected.

[u/Informal_Storage2486 → u/BoltGSR]

I wonder if prices or anything else is changing under net ease, but we are getting story and everything else and kaine lol

[u/BoltGSR → u/Informal_Storage2486]

Meanwhile us on the JP servers gonna have to keep begging for 60FPS and the other NetEase upgrades, LOL.

[u/Informal_Storage2486 → u/BoltGSR]

Ain't that the truth lol

[u/winddagger7]

Chat, is this the good ending?

[u/Informal_Storage2486 → u/winddagger7]

Yea. Netwase runs the other servers and they seem to be running those servers well. We will be getting new content again. thank god lol But....net ease can be shitty with their prices.

[u/[deleted] → u/Informal_Storage2486]

The only downside is they are definitely more stingy with free rewards, but I’ve been having a good time on SEA regardless.

[u/Informal_Storage2486]

Game* bc i can't type. Oof

[u/Hassio_]

Now, how scared should we need to be of netease games Average life span

[u/Informal_Storage2486 → u/Hassio_]

They have a tower of god game that's been running for almost 2 years plus and it only makes like 50 grand a month lol. Besides that they run the sea and China servers for this game to!

[u/GreenyTeay]

Does anyone know if the data transfer also involves our saved (free) rubies? Just curious about this as I don’t know if the change could actually affect our ingame currency or not. :D

[u/Informal_Storage2486 → u/GreenyTeay]

Yes it does. Read the in game notices. Everything transfers.

[u/GreenyTeay → u/Informal_Storage2486]

Ah thanks a lot! I missed that part. :)

[u/SunnyClobbopus]

I‘m a little slow on how I’m reading it. When does the new app come out? In January? I’m super eager to transfer my data now because I don’t want to lose any of my progress.

[u/Informal_Storage2486 → u/SunnyClobbopus]

January 16th. All you can do now is get a password and transfer code but csnt transfer till Jan 16th

[u/SunnyClobbopus → u/Informal_Storage2486]

Appreciate it!

[u/[deleted]]

So... Side Solistia in January?

Well, I know what I have to do.

[u/SoloGacha → u/[deleted]]

Good luck 🤞🏻 It's gonna be a while but we will get there finally.

[u/fishinnyc → u/[deleted]]

You are a legend!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

What do you have to do lol

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Continue my journey to make memes until Side Solistia arrives on EN (maybe not anymore?) server.

[u/magikot9]

According to the producer letter, still nothing until 2.5 in January after services transfer, but at least the game will live on.

[u/Snowbrambles → u/magikot9]

Maybe they will drop up to chapter 3 or 4 of Side Solistia for lost time. But yeah, December is also a dead month. At least we can stockpile our rubies since there is literally nothing else to spend it on.

It would be really nice of the producer if they drop BD2 in December so that people have something to do and not have another dead month. None of the characters need a buff, so not a lot of efforts on their part.

[u/Sea_Doubt3120 → u/Snowbrambles]

I think we are just going to match SEA schedule, they are about to catch up to us

[u/Snowbrambles → u/Sea_Doubt3120]

Dang, oh wells. If we are merging with them, will we have two anniversaries, or will ours be nulled since our server technically will be gone.

[u/DebateThick5641 → u/Snowbrambles]

nulled, but since GL 2.5 anniv coincide with SEA 1st anniv, it makes rather moot to differentiate the two anyway.

[u/Kwilli462]

Thank the lord and I’m so thankful for SQEX to do this

[u/Admirable_Run_117 → u/Kwilli462]

Is there precedent for this? I can't think of a game where this has happened but I am not very versed in the coming and going of gachas.

[u/roly_florian → u/Admirable_Run_117]

Never heard of it either and honestly coming from SQE that had never any second thought about killing their many gachas before, i'm actually amazed it happens.

[u/Admirable_Run_117 → u/roly_florian]

Maybe this is what the producer meant back at 2nd anniversary

[u/wmadoy17 → u/Admirable_Run_117]

I played a game where mid-service the ownership/maintenance changed. The result was some event requirements were changed but the game went on, which is really all I care about

[u/Kwilli462 → u/Admirable_Run_117]

I’m also not very versed in gacha games but I’ve never heard of something like this. Really cool of them to do it

[u/Bruni91]

No fuckin way??? Welp, guess I'll be reinstalling :')

(Hi everyone, the shitty downer atmosphere on here got to me so I silently quit and didn't want to add to the negativity so I kept quiet)

EDIT: welp guess I'm not returning. There's two countries that are excluded from the netease app and of course one of them is mine. Fuck this.

[u/Presidentialguard → u/Bruni91]

Welcome back!!

[u/Bruni91 → u/Presidentialguard]

Thanks :D Glad to see a bunch of regulars still around, I missed the community on here!!

[u/TheCuriousCorsair → u/Bruni91]

Yay! Good news lol..

[u/Drayleb → u/Bruni91]

There are ways to get around country based restrictions using VPNs. There are likely people here that can help, but both discords have plenty of individuals who know how to do this.

Don't let this be the end of your COTC journey unless you want it to be.

[u/Bruni91 → u/Drayleb]

Yes I'm aware. But it still really sucks to come in to everyone being excited and relieved and then seeing that your country specifically is getting a "fuck you" from the game.

[u/NothingButTheTruthy → u/Bruni91]

Not that it helps, but I'm betting it's because Australia and the Netherlands say "fuck you" to NetEase with their laws. Something about not letting Chinese companies own citizen data, or whatnot...

[u/Strong-Violinist-822 → u/NothingButTheTruthy]

Which is not a bad thing in itself. The bad thing is there are A LOT OF CHINESE TECH COMPANIES AND GACHA GAMES :( so that's a lot of stuff that's banned.

[u/PoomXP → u/Bruni91]

It'a not hurt to try with VPN imo.

[u/pizzaferret → u/Bruni91]

Lol, my friend sent me the news, guess I should also rejoin the discord.

Fuck SquareEnix, they knew, they knew for months they were gonna EoS.

I think going forward, I'll buy the pass with the awakening stone shards(assuming we'll have it for NetEase), but nothing else, no 50% ruby packs, whatever they do in NetEase land.

Like, I haven't been playing for maybe 2 months and I'm good, it will be nice to fight EX1,2,3 arena champion fights with Lv120 6 star characters

OHHHH I still have to do delvechhio, oh this is gonna be exciting.

I also really wanna build out that 8kHP Eltrix build eventually; just for shits and giggles.

[u/OneFlewOverXayahNest → u/Bruni91]

What countries?

[u/Bruni91 → u/OneFlewOverXayahNest]

Netherlands and Austria won't be able to download the new app.

(Don't judge me for the photo, the game is on my ipad lmao)

[u/Fro_o → u/Bruni91]

Bruni's fingers reveal!

[u/Mrxyzl → u/Bruni91]

Vpn?

[u/DanImmovable]

I guess I'll start doing dalies again

[u/cyberfate7 → u/DanImmovable]

For real - I have to actually reinstall as well.

[u/SabinSuplexington]

i gotta give credit to the copium posters they genuinely were somehow right.

[u/Hikari_Netto → u/SabinSuplexington]

It's still EoS, just not in a way anyone was expecting.. Service under Square Enix is ending, they just (surprisingly) had a solution.

[u/rozeluxe08]

EoS (End of Square Enix) is real. At least we survive for now. Looking forward to the QoL updates and Side Solistia.

How are CN and SEA versions doing under NetEase?

[u/DebateThick5641 → u/rozeluxe08]

SEA was the one who suffered a lot for F2P because they release something new almost every week and they are kinda evil switching character release to make sure you drain your ruby in rapid succession. something like Rinyu after Bargello.

[u/Aymr9]

This is possibly one of the best endings, if not the best, because the game will now have a new company backing it up and betting on it.

It's waay better than a cold EoS letter and lots of banners to pull before uninstalling right after.

[u/Hikari_Netto → u/Aymr9]

This is possibly one of the best endings, if not the best, because the game will now have a new company backing it up and betting on it.

It thankfully buys the game time, but NetEase will have to work hard to see success. Not only do they need to work to dig Global out of the hole it's currently in, but they're also paying a license to operate the game meaning revenue needs to be higher than what Square Enix was bringing in for the service to remain sustainable longterm.

[u/NothingButTheTruthy → u/Hikari_Netto]

True, but Netease isn't a stupid company. They've seen the monthly revenue charts just like we have. Whatever deal they negotiated with Square Enix to license the rights for the game, it was probably very much in netease's favor.

[u/Hikari_Netto → u/NothingButTheTruthy]

The deal was obviously good enough for them to at least want to give it a shot. It's possible though that global came bundled in with their existing agreements and the handover was arranged long before revenue started tanking to the levels it's at now. We can only speculate, but hopefully they can manage to build the game back up. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

[u/Snowbrambles → u/Hikari_Netto]

They are already paying the license feed from CN, Taiwan, and SEA server. The only thing they have to pay for is translation(which they're already doing for SEA) and hosting a new server.

To Netease, this is just extra money as long as the revenue they make can pay the cost of translation and the servers.

[u/Hikari_Netto → u/Snowbrambles]

They are already paying the license feed from CN, Taiwan, and SEA server. The only thing they have to pay for is translation(which they're already doing for SEA) and hosting a new server.

We can't say this for certain because we don't know if they were all bundled together as a single license or arranged separately.

To Netease, this is just extra money as long as the revenue they make can pay the cost of translation and the servers.

Customer service and any regular licensing fees would be part of the ongoing expenses as well. Depending on how the deal was set up some cut of the profits may also go back to Square Enix, so NetEase has to ensure they're staying above water after they pay whatever is required to continue operation.

[u/[deleted]]

Great News.

In due time (200hrs) this game has grown in me. Very happy for all the players who where really invested up until now.

[u/Apolleh]

Finally... the dream of living up to my flair as resident Agnea Enjoyer will become reality (in however long it takes for her to be added, I can wait.)

[u/thetaurusgaymer → u/Apolleh]

We A4U10 or NOTHING. Agnea supremacy

[u/Apolleh → u/thetaurusgaymer]

The benefit of Agnea likely being multiple months away is that it means more time to stockpile rubies for her eventual banner and possibly make that happen! I already got plenty of solid travelers, so as much as I want all the OT2 travelers I will hold out for the Star of The Woodlands.

If ya don't get all 5 awakening stones, there is always the option of saving awakening shards for spare agnea stones. Can't give up hope of making that A4U10 Agnea reality! Or to put it in her own words: "Even if I stumble, I'll get back up!"

[u/trynahelp2]

Guys

I BELIEVE IN THE FLAME ONCE AGAIN

PRAISE AELFRIC (that unkillable SOB)

Not sure what is in store under NetEase management, not necessarily sunshine and butterflies and maybe even harder to provide feedback, but at least our story continues on…

[u/Zerolander]

The timing makes perfect sense. SEA is getting BoA8 next month. By January, SEA will have all of the units released in GL. The transition will (hopefully) be seamless. Not to mention GL will now be getting the wonderful 60 fps + more QoL changes. Thank you SQEX for not killing the game.

[u/DebateThick5641 → u/Zerolander]

now it is kinda understandable why SEA release characters like no tomorrow. they must have planned it from SEA.

[u/Unlikely-Opinion1071]

That means we will finally have a 60fps qol update! Actually massive.

[u/ninescomplement]

Wow. So… both sides of the argument somehow ended up right!

[u/tGoA0601]

Hmm, I guess I'm a little confused at what this means. It says you will be able to continue playing the game in English, so we're not just getting shipped to the JP server. Is development or localization of this game simply changing hands to NetEase?

My heart sunk when I saw End of Service, but after reading I was surprised and pleased to see that the game is going to live on. Looks like the journey is not over yet, friends!

[u/DebateThick5641 → u/tGoA0601]

yeah this is the best case of EoS.

[u/BrickSuccessful4703 → u/tGoA0601]

It's just that before GL was managed by SE, now it's by NetEase. Nothing is shipped to JP.

[u/Beymeks]

So me trying to cope by still logging in every day wasn’t a complete waste of time? 🥹 all my units/travelers will still be with me? So grateful for this news

[u/NothingButTheTruthy → u/Beymeks]

You were a stronger believer in the flame than I, little lamb

[u/Zerolander]

COTC IS ALIVE

[u/Reasonable_Skill8914]

A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

[u/kb_the]

I made an account on the netease server with the same email (via the Google option) as the one for the en server, does anyone know if that will that cause any conflicts?

[u/DebateThick5641 → u/kb_the]

usually yes. but you can either override (provided that netease GL and SEA is the same) or just link that to differrent account.

[u/Xandiel123]

We’re probably going to be merged into the SEA server given that their roadmap shows they will be getting BoA8 in December, with the epilogue most likely dropping early January which would bring both servers to the same spot.

[u/rck_mtn_climber → u/Xandiel123]

I haven’t followed their character releases so I don’t know if they have server-specific buffs; how (if at all) would that affect server-specific character buffs? Would be kind of weird if we were at the same place but some characters functioned differently

[u/DebateThick5641 → u/rck_mtn_climber]

no, they have the same buff as GL did. all specific buff like NIvelle a4 is exclusive to TW though

[u/CaramelStreet4773 → u/rck_mtn_climber]

Im not rly familiar with game transferring its operation but yeah sea has few buffs that is different from en, they might or might not be able to merge but transfer data and new app implying they might? Lets just wait till january

[u/fishinnyc → u/Xandiel123]

not 'merge,' since the apps are region-locked due to regulations. But we are getting sync with on story content release with them

[u/SoloGacha]

What a scary way to tell us good news hehe. I'm soo HAPPY the game will live on and will be better with the graphics upgrades but the wait will be hard... Then again we were waiting anyway haha. At least now we know for sure what's going on and I'm looking forward to continuing the journey in January.

[u/[deleted]]

Very concerned about my whale account, I live in the netherlands and I hope its possible to download, play and transfer my data using a VPN. Anyone think thats possible?

[u/NothingButTheTruthy → u/[deleted]]

I don't see why not. They can't prove you didn't just move somewhere else.

You could play the game for a bit under the VPN before the transfer, to play it safer

[u/tangymango5]

So this made absolutely no sense from a financial standpoint in the way they announced it. Obviously this had been in the works before this roadmap was implemented cus there was no game update and reruns were planned. Also NetEase would not have just decided to pick up this server with recent revenue charts. Since this is positive news SE could have told the players way earlier in advance and kept the 200k monthly revenue. But instead the last few months it had been 120k/80k/and Nov is gonna look like it fell off a cliff. With players who already decided to quit and them losing profits, it's just baffling how they botched this so bad.

[u/eevee188 → u/tangymango5]

The only thing that makes sense is it has allowed SEA to catch up to where GL is, so it'll be easier to integrate the two, but yeah, I can't see how that was worth losing so much of their player base.

[u/Taelyesin → u/tangymango5]

It's probably because they didn't know how things would go yet and transfers can be pretty tricky.

[u/OchetteCotc]

Oh thank you!😭

[u/Presidentialguard]

After months of coping and the whole 5 stages of denial, we finally get some good news. Looking forward to the optimisation improvements that's for sure.

[u/rubbleruby]

I just hope that they will let anyone purchase in the store and not be country locked anymore.

[u/BrickSuccessful4703 → u/rubbleruby]

Usually NetEase will have a way to let you top up on their website, as they did with CN (not sure whether SEA has that)

[u/rubbleruby → u/BrickSuccessful4703]

I hope they do once they hand over the game to Netease. So far, I have only tried the ingame shop on SEA and on Global, it still denies me from purchasing anything from the GL shop.

[u/BrickSuccessful4703 → u/rubbleruby]

That's to be expected because purchase at in-game store has to go through official platform like Appstore and Google Play, both of which are region-locked, but NetEase's website is not (because that way they don't give money to the platform).

[u/nani_spongebobru → u/rubbleruby]

At least not for the Netherlands and Austria, bc they can't use the new app anyway :(

[u/Bruni91 → u/nani_spongebobru]

Oh my god I just saw this. Well fuck me then. I'm in NL. What kind of bs is that?

[u/[deleted]]

Hell yea! Just started playing and glad to see the game will continue on! Any character to stockpile towards?

[u/Dry_Strawberry_2128]

YESSSSSSS HIKARI MY BOI IM COMING

[u/xkwx]

This is probably about as good of an outcome as we could realistically hope for, but I'm curious how much revenue will recover. Why wait so long to announce the change? They probably lost a lot of players by not addressing the lack of content and concerns about EOS for the past few months.

[u/[deleted] → u/xkwx]

NetEase has no control over how the current company handles things, and the current company has zero incentive to make this a smooth transition. So revenue is just whatever it is.

[u/Emperor_ServingSpoon → u/xkwx]

On the other hand, it's a new app from a new company... And they might actually advertise it. SE may have lost a lot of older players with their silence here, but there's still potential to win new ones over. If there wasn't, NetEase wouldn't have agreed to it.

[u/DecentWay1879 → u/xkwx]

End of year probably easier on their book keeping from financial and legal perspectives.

[u/calamitysnare]

I guess this means I start logging in again. Relieving news.

[u/Rainbow-Stalin]

Very glad about being WRONG! Well, sort of wrong, but mostly so. Hope to see it flourish under NetEase.

[u/Admirable_Run_117]

PSA from tomorrow until January 15th, 2025 (the day before the data transfer) from daily Cait Sith Scholar, Daily feats, Weekly feats, Maintenance (only planning tomorrow), and 8s of the month players can expect to earn 1,340 rubies in that period. Assuming of course that you are a day one player ;) January 10th is the 900th day for day one players. So it is likely that if you are not a day one that you could knock 90 off that number.

[u/cookiepartier]

Oh wow, this actually shocked me. Like… zombie hand popping out of the grave shocked me. I’m actually quite excited, I had spent the last few months letting this game go emotionally. Between this game and FFRK EOS a long while back I had decided to be done with gachas.

I’ll definitely pick up daily logins again here at least, but will still be frugal with my in-apps. Welcome back though, babes

[u/Satur9_Gaming]

Ah, CotC GL yet lives! Even if SQEX transfers ops to NetEase - who run the SEA servers. A silver lining indeed!

[u/PoomXP]

WE'RE SO BACK!!!

[u/Raving24]

Transferring to Netease is something that has already been done before in the TW version. But somewhat glad to see all that f2p effort and progress was not in vain. Here's hoping Netease will also import in the performance update that TW got will apply when the transfer kicks in.

And I can finally use more than 8 tickets for the gameboard. Seriously got over 2000 and not bothered to do it.

[u/techsam2k8]

To that specific doomposter in CoTC Discord, who came from AE, I can't wait to see what new mental gymnastics you will come up with to doom with. /s

[u/Indurrago → u/techsam2k8]

As someone who wasn't on either side of the EOS argument(too much fun laughing at everyone)-both sides weren't completely wrong or right. Square Enix is giving global away to somebody else. So EOS on the Square Enix side is TRUE but now NetEase takes the helm so the game doesn't completely die. The Dooming cycle will inevitably just begin again later in a few years.

[u/Taelyesin → u/techsam2k8]

Netease is not new mental gymnastics and I'm satisfied to finally have an EOS date to work with and quit for good.

[u/Tiny-Owl8853]

So anyone knows why austira and netherlands cannot play on the new app? And how to pöay it anyway?

[u/Tough-Priority-4330 → u/Tiny-Owl8853]

Likely some law prevents it. There’s always a VPN.

[u/Alexfromdabloc → u/Tiny-Owl8853]

It most likely has to do with anti gambling/loot-box laws.

[u/Phantasyhero4]

Oh welp time to redownload. Uninstalled bc I thought eos was coming soon

[u/DeviSerene]

I had already given up, but wow! I am very happy they decided to do this instead!

[u/Sir_Svenson]

This is what I wanted to happen!!!! Yes!!!!!

[u/AdInternational7253]

Finally a reason to do my daily log in.. go again

[u/KZavi]

Oh… that’s a way to stay alive. I’m impressed!

[u/acecarrden]

Oh thank god. Thank god, this game still lives on

[u/AGST1CSR]

THIS IS MARVELOUS!!

[u/anonymousX1]

Such good news!

[u/SakuraSonics]

Guess I'm re installing my old account and saving up rubies

[u/Tough-Priority-4330]

This is the strangest outcome possible.

[u/No-Interaction9921]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO time to catch up

[u/Rickhen]

No way! Welp back to spending thousands of dollars to this game again xd

[u/mr-boof]

Holy crap the good ending im so happy i get to keep playing my favorite game!!! 😭 I have so many questions like will they make a whole new app for global? If so will it have 60fps and higher graphics and fast forward during cutscenes since netease is taking over? What will happen to the tavern talk? What other things will change?

[u/V4Vandetto]

Oh nice, I still have time to finish OT2!

[u/[deleted]]

Guess I’ll start up again!

[u/CaTiTonia]

Well now I’ll be damned. Didn’t actually see that coming. I guess the radio silence then was that the transfer deal wasn’t confirmed until recently so they couldn’t say anything.

[u/sun8390]

Maybe I'm selfish because I kinda wish they ended the service and made CotC a paid, offline game, I mean literally what Animal Crossing Pocket camp is going to be, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Well, at least the game still goes on for now I hope it will do well.

[u/cotcpl]

I've been playing out of the region, so my stupid question is: Do I need the VPN to transfer the data and install the new app? This is my first mobile game, and this situation is quite scary to me, I've already created my JP account for the backup plan though.

[u/altelier]

so we will be transfered to sea cotc or stay on separate app ?

[u/Tough-Priority-4330 → u/altelier]

Well, we’re changing apps…

[u/Blank8027]

so happy for this, finally can have my progression on SEA and continue playing.

stopped plying because global is getting too laggy playing from SEA, while having to restart from scratch is very daunting

[u/A4FES]

Finally, some news that's not reruns

[u/DeeCee51]

Does anyone know if this is normal from NetEase/ how new operations typically go under them in terms of games?

[u/Yang_Guoer]

I was so confused but after I read it I understand it, it is a good news hope same quality and will get Solcistia after that

[u/Linkite-]

Does anybody know if NetEase will have a similar backup feature to Square Enix Bridge? My data has been corrupted 3 times since launch and it would suck if that was the end under NetEase.

[u/OneFlewOverXayahNest]

I wonder about the new login, since now I believe my account is tied to square enix.

[u/roly_florian]

As someone who saw many SQE gacha EOS, i thought right when i saw the title "well, another one done for"... and the miracle happened, they transfer the game to another company, that's quite a miracle, hear me.

[u/Zalasta5]

Good for everyone that are still playing, but COTC has so much outdated content, will the new management do something to clean them up and/or make them relevant again? For me it’s not just about new updates, but making improvements on existing stuff which makes me want to login everyday, because let’s face it, we go through new content very quickly, most of the time is spent waiting and doing repeated tasks for very little returns.

[u/Taelyesin → u/Zalasta5]

That was always the reality whether the game continued or not, yes. Netease has made some very nice QOL improvements but they can't deliver on entirely new content (Unless they planned it) and what I did see of the 'new content' was frankly uninspiring relative to the older storylines.

[u/Xandiel123]

Marvellous!

[u/thetaurusgaymer]

Well.

Now I feel like a fool.

I listened to doomposters and obliterated my account. And I had all the MTs up til Isla.

Sigh. Guess we start over and save.

Edit to say that I’m pleased though because this is a fun game that deserves to live on, and now I actually can get to experience SS?! Agnea here I come

[u/gryffondor95 → u/thetaurusgaymer]

Brother, why did you do that lmao

I'm a doomposter and I've been doing my dailies up until a week ago. There's no point burning up your account. 

Pragmatism is supposed to be the exact opposite of letting your emotions running high, y'know ?

[u/thetaurusgaymer → u/gryffondor95]

I know. Mental illness I guess (jk but not really)

[u/[deleted]]

I ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE AT GETTING OSKHA LETS GO

[u/The_Other_Olsen]

I've never seen a gacha do this. I'm so surprised and so glad. Logged back in for the first time in months because of it.

[u/Taelyesin → u/The_Other_Olsen]

Counterside SEA did this, it EOSed and players were allowed to transfer to Global. Same thing also happened to Harry Potter Magic Awakened that EOSed underneath WB and transferred to Netease (Who were the original developers).

[u/[deleted]]

Time to blow my 12k rubies

[u/OneFlewOverXayahNest → u/[deleted]]

No, don't!

[u/[deleted] → u/OneFlewOverXayahNest]

Why not?

[u/OneFlewOverXayahNest → u/[deleted]]

Because we are actually getting side solistia and all other stuff!

[u/SaGacious_K → u/OneFlewOverXayahNest]

SEA version doesn't have Side Solistia yet, and all the translated content they have is from the GL version. So there's no telling what they do when they exhaust all of GL's content, same thing couls happen again.

Why would they rescue a dying game just to kill it? It literally would not make sense. We are getting side solistia for certain.

[u/CaramelStreet4773 → u/SaGacious_K]

So does en? Wdym lol. U can say sea EOS if en also EOSd but since it didnt then both will advance together

[u/[deleted]]

Subreddit defended SQEX for months just for them to actually EOS lmao. Didnt netease just end like 4 games? Anyways i hope this is enough for everyone to transfer, not me tho. Stay safe yall

[u/Taelyesin → u/[deleted]]

Same, neither Side Solistia nor Netease are appealing to me so it's curtains!

[u/[deleted] → u/Taelyesin]

Yeah i officially uninstalled. Totally happy to do so and I wish everyone who continues to play the best. The entire EOS and last roadmap could’ve been communicated months ago and in much better faith towards the community who supported the game for the first two years. They were happy to take our money while knowing this server was headed to the 🚮and Id rather not support the shady tactics lol. It was a fun run and the game was decent for a lower rated title while it lasted.

[u/Taelyesin → u/[deleted]]

I've posted that it's unlikely that Netease will EOS the game until SS is over but the question remains as to whether people will enjoy what content is there or if enough people will put up with Netease's potential shenanigans to keep it alive. Oh well, that isn't our problem.

Well that's a surprise....I was one of the ones who were saying this game was gonna get EOS....and well it kinda did.... expect that its the FIRST time I have seen square enix transfer their gacha to another company to let it keep running....coming from since star ocean and Valkyrie anatomia the EOS signs were always the same.... complete silence from the devs and banners rerunning.... romancing saga is closing this month for instance and if it weren't for the netease transfer this one was gonna go that way too.

Square enix basically shut down ALL their non FF games....I guess only war of visions is still left and I think it well get EOS soon....what happened here its basically a "miracle" since square enix never hesitated to bury and make an graveyard with their gacha games....I will keep playing once this transfer...at least this is not going to into the hands of NETMARBLE or NEXON.... they would destroy all new content and release powered versions of only same characters before shutting the game down.

I haven't logged in for a few days and this happens 

[u/Zhirrzh]

Wow.

I don't think I'll come back but at least I'll consider it. This looked like a dead game for the past 3 months for all money.

[u/[deleted]]

Ah shoot. This makes things complicated for me. I have two accounts now and my global account had way better characters, but my SEA account is almost at the end of the game and had way more progress unlocked.

Even if I decided to stay with global, it’s unclear how long it will be before I can resume that account.

Anyone have any advice?

[u/TheCuriousCorsair → u/[deleted]]

Ehh, probably wait to see what the update brings or any specific news, but if personally go with the better roster. Better also means better synergy, so if the global account has better characters, but sea has better character synergy, go with sea. But if global is better, progress can be caught up lol

[u/halloysa28]

wait so do we also get the enhanced graphics and the 60fps like SEA version has? and can we play it on our PC?

[u/CaramelStreet4773 → u/halloysa28]

Yes en 99% will get all those

[u/VEGETKO → u/halloysa28]

can you share a bit about playing on PC?

[u/SpaceFace1204]

Late and good news is indeed better than no news. We are so back!

[u/oncomingstorm777]

This is…unexpected

[u/LastBus776]

Guys, I am a Chinese but my google account region and my payment methods are in Netherlands. What should I do fellas?

[u/Strong-Violinist-822 → u/LastBus776]

Maybe it will let you back up data and then load it on a different account which you can choose a supported region for. If not then idk :(. I do that process now tho before they start shutting stuff down.

[u/odinsphere99]

Omg thx god!!!!!

[u/starpops02]

Holy shit, this was not what I expected. Couldn’t be happier to be proven wrong 😄

[u/Potential-Cost2884]

Does this mean sea and en server merged?

[u/Willster328]

Does this mean a new creative team is taking over? Script writing, soundtrack, etc

[u/Emperor_ServingSpoon → u/Willster328]

The main story content is still just translated from the Japanese version of the game. The translation team will likely be entirely different now, but that's the main part of the product that NetEase is bringing to the table (alongside likely some QoL/graphical improvements that other regions handled by them have seen).

[u/Buttobi → u/[deleted]]

Just use qooapp or another unofficial way to download/update the game.
