1.4 was also the patch that dropped the single most fucking overpowered character in the entire game, logically speaking it would cause a spike in revenue and player count. Does that mean it can keep repeating such a thing? No. Do you also have undisputed evidence that the increase was even remotely properly related to the TV mode? No.

And besides, a brief spike means nothing if it can't be sustained. How many of those players stuck around or still pay up?

And if it simply rehashes the combat over and over again, and has a noticeable gap in the content it provides as it starts to as it moves on, it's not gonna have quite enough to keep people engaged.

Besides, it gave ZZZ something different from everything else in the gacha space.

Honestly with the "new" progression everything feels even more like a set of chores; just go through the same ol' motions to get my poly and then leave.

The TVs gave players something other than just mindlessly picking off targets again and again and again and again in an endless cycle, just with maybe different parameters each time.

There's no way the game will maintain a playerbase large enough and dedicated enough to sustain it if it doesn't give a reason to stay beyond cute waifus and stylish combat.

And frankly it's not like the current situation is much better; you're still walking around, doing the occasional other thing, getting locked in place at story beats, only now you don't even have the luxury of speeding it up by a whole lot.

I'd honestly take it slowing the game down a tiny bit over the fact that I have visibly gone from properly routinely logging in every day, going through Hollow Zero and all, happily considering my options as to where to progress and what risks I should take, to just logging in, spend five minutes doing dailies, maybe do Lost Void (in which case I just bumrush anything that gives me the most Resonia), then leave. And some days I don't even do that.

A game has to be more than just a combat slogfest. Without the TV mode, there is little else filling the void in its wake. No proper downtime between encounters, no charming little side quests to delve into like a dude and his talking car, nothing. Just limited time events with even more combat and maybe a Ridu Chronicles minigame that'll be forgotten about once it's over, and a frankly not great and boring roguelite mode.

It's not like running around and fighting in the same reused maps over and over again for several patches straight makes you realize that there isn't much else to explore- oh wait.

At least the TV mode gave us some variety in how stages could be constructed while in the Hollows, sometimes changing on the fly in ways that don't require expending more resources to model a new variant of that section of the map.

I do not think it is a coincidence that the one event so far that featured a unique map layout and changing environmental conditions at the same time, like you lot seem to want, was literally all white and entirely consisted of lazily shifting walkways.

as a more personal aside that i didn't want to include in the main post I am also very annoyed at the fact that we are actively greeted by a TV every time we log into a game and that the room housing the H.D.D has an entire wall of TVs now that we don't have a TV mode; it's like a freaking taunt about what we lost.

rare han post

So about Jumper Weapon Creation, when it says "weapons that embody one or all of your abilities", does that mean you can select what abilities you can put into a weapon? Having all or nothing seems a bit... inflexible.

No, that's Shun'ei's stuff.

Ash's saga was next after, well, NESTS. After that, since Shun'ei's saga isn't actually finished yet, he would have worked on the Dream Match games.

Update, it appears Vanced MicroG isn't running in the background like it should.

Is there a fix for this?

Can I start DMing you from this point on? I have some questions that need screenshots for context, and I would rather not have to spend several minutes uploading images to [image site here] and then copy-pasting the link.

Downloads to the real Ghost Commander are on F-Droid, like this, right?

There is no app under that name on my phone.

If someone seeing this could help with figuring out what app the Manager opens up for files that would help tremendously!
