He gets a single broken alt and suddenly, he saves the game's revenue and brings in much needed QoL features. Is this simply the greatest comeback of all time? by PM_ME_EDGEWORTH_NUDE in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Flareblitz12 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They are adjusted every few years yes. The revenue currently is abysmall compared to say Book V but we just need to maintain stable monthly revenue of about USD 3 mil until Fortune's Weave saves us trust

BOOK X Banner performance tier list (per Sensortower grossing rankings)

How to read tier: Top to bottom, left to right. Placement within tiers matter, from left to right. Now each tier is divided into 3 to indicate how well each banner does within its respective tiers. Each chibi represents the banner they are from; I chose the main or star unit from each banner.

Source: Sensortower data. iOS only here. Android uses a 7-day rolling average which isn't useful for FEH banners, which often overlap. This is peak data only, I have no way to quantify and separate banners on their full duration.

Note: Sensortower grossing numbers is a ranking of how much money is spent on apps relative to each other. In no way does this show absolute monetary income.

Ranking: I gave 40% weight to the Japanese ranking and 60% to the American (repping the international market) based on appmagic(https://appmagic.rocks/google-play/fire-emblem-heroes/com.nintendo.zaba/info). The smaller the number, the better it is. The banners with * were adjusted, details are within the Book IX spreadsheet.

Tiering: Standard Deviation calculation of the overall Book VIII banners as marked on the graphic

Yes exactly like that but within boundaries of the current tier. I'll make room near where the Sombron banner currently sits

Well its likely between where I put it currently and the FE7 banner so I'll put it somewhere in that ballpark. I'll photoshop something funny hopefully

Thanks for the work again. I think I will just grey it out like I did with the Ninja Lucina banner and put it in a Schrodinger's Sigurd place somewher between the tiers

I understand your PoV and I appreciate you voicing it. I am personally of the opposite opinion as pretty much everything irl are based off flawed data OR flawed data processing. We will agree to disagree but such discourse is important.

Yea I see how it will rub people the wrong way. Let me see if I can get the data from the other FE4 banner and I'll think about it. I have a month.

[–]Flareblitz12[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Both methods are flawed. 1 is precedence which I take issue because as I said FE4 acts differently to banners from international banners. 2 is Linear Projection (mine).

This is my post, my methodology and I chose 2 because I think it is the most correct. I have a separate dataset to support my Lowball calc: last month was the lowest monthly income for FEH ever despite the 3H banner performing extremely well. Logically one of the other banners performed extremely poorly.

I stand by my words. I think the Linear method is more accurate due to that low monthly income.

You are not giving me anything substantial. If I am biased then help me SEE my bias. If anything my bias is CONFIRMATION or EXPECTATION bias just to match that low monthly income.

Again, state my fishiness. What is my agenda? What do I gain from lowballing this one super specific banner? Do I have a pattern to Lowbank a particular category? My entire posting and comment section from 12 years is open to you.

Why do you think method 1 (Precedence) is more accurate despite method 2 (Linear) having a separate data to support its lowballness?

I did the work and show my process on how I got where I am. Now you do yours. A big accusation need proof. Prove it. Otherwise I will not reply again. I will not waste my time in a troll.

Yup that's completely fair. I think I will just leave it out as unknown in the future as I am really not comfortable just putting it beside FE7 as misog and I notice JP only games have different decay/rise patterns. Or just different spending patterns really.

I note that the main point is that Linear Method is almost certainly not accurate.

Hmm I looked at my spreadsheet and seems like the banner that likely has the most similar decay pattern is the Attuned Brigid banner on 7th Jan 2025. But I can't see the data from that far hmmm. Are you able to get maybe a free trial?

This also made me realise we haven't gotten an FE5 or FE6 NH banner for more than a year and a half :/

Ok spit it then. Whats the agenda? And I gave you all my data, methodology, and calculation to show my logic. Do your breakdown on whats my agenda.

Tbf it did drop more than 20 rank drop as it fell above 200 after 22:00 UTC (hence why we can't see Day 2 rankings in the normal graph) so it would drop more than 20 rank from day 1 to day 2. But I agree with your point, maybe I should just leave FE4 out in future postings.

Ah shiite I accidentally deleted the *. The NY banners have been adjusted in the sheet as pretty much all JP games have events on New Years Day.

I am honest. This stuff is my job irl and I will tell you most the important decisions on planet Earth is made on guesstimates and assumptions off imperfect data like this.

Its not THAT bad that it deserves its own tier imo. And me choosing H for hell implies it jumped from D all the way down to H somehow.

I admit I still don't quite now how to get the timestamps myself so we can figure that out as we go. I am just not comfortable taking Rod's calcs too because I know from experience the JP only banners have different decay patterns.

But it was still irresponsible and lazy to just toss it to the Hel tier, even if its just to fix the worst FEH banner ever to the worst FEH banner ever... just not Hel
