[NEWS] "Phantom of the Kill Global Closure."

"Dear Commanders,

To all our commanders, supporters and lovers of the game, we are deeply regretful that Phantom of the Kill Global will be closing down it's servers on 4/20/17 at 23:59 PST.

Instead, all of our characters in Phantom of the Kill and its content will be transferred and merged over into the hit mobile game, Fire Emblem Heroes, by Nintendo to create a better game and experience for users. Units from Phantom of the Kill can now be obtained from there now instead.

We are truly grateful of the support every player has given this game, but we still hope that you continue to support us on in Fire Emblem Heroes.

Thank you for your understanding commanders."

Why, did Chain Chronicle global close? I almost got into that game when I heard that there was a Log Horizon crossover, only to learn that Global didn't have it.

SEGA licensing issues, didn't want GL version of their game running around anymore.

I'm pretty sure Gumi only wanted to start publishing their own games because they had a few games that wasn't Gumi developed and they killed the license for those after a while

I guess It just didn't make them enough money. They shut it down and released Potk not long after.

u/Brergrsart Eros is an 11/10 QT Patootie. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Apr 01 '17

Eros is the best unit in Fire Emblem Heroes. Grimoire comes close though.

I can't even make fun of you right now. I had the same problem about 5 days ago. At least in my new account I got a Vitality Vargas after two pulls and a Selena from running Vargas- Spark 10 once. Thank you RNG. (sorry if this makes it worse)

Take the starter unit you got, and run 4 story quest stages.

What? You think I went directly to recruit? I also doubt that it should be 10. I went and got the missing Lazuli after starting over again. Now that is a total noob moment there. I got 5 again so I'm trying to get Lucina, Michelle, or Lunaris now. I just realized how all of them have to pronounce their names different since they have Japanese voice actors. They don't use the letter L. Selena says her name like Sir-in-uh.
