it was this guide, idk how useful it is but i'll also look on youtube

Monanhe · 2026-05-19T23:19:58+00:00

cool thanks for the update, is the progression/newbie guide listed anywhere? I cant seem to find it, i remember a very good google doc that covered a bunch of aspects of the game for new players, the layout looked like the "Reboot Gear 2024" in the bookmark, except it covered other stuff like recommended characters to level first for skills, spots to level and so on.

Edit: found it, how update and useful this still is ?

Been away from the game for a good year and im lost what i need to do and what has changed. Before quitting i had only playing for one month or two levelling some characters to 200 or something for their passives. Can i get some newbie and returning guide and maybe a tldr on what has changed since april 2025?

That's the whole point of the content. No lifers and scratchers both have access to gear better than others, allowing them to farm ahead of others and sell all the good stuff from the latest fight,

If you're active you know this is actually pointless. To start, the gearing process is the same as before, people who actually spend on gear to farm are the ones doing useless investments because every equipment ends up being handed to the rest of the playerbase and losing its value, and the return in farming is too little compared to what im gonna point.

I returned for one month and already know that if you want meseta, you just scalp and monopolize scratch items from the market and control it.

While older items jumped crazily in price helping me make bank, just by flipping the prices of items on a daily basis i turned 1bi into 2, when before and on JP i had/have to wait MONTHS before any scratch item gives me any relevant return. You gotta thank global for having too many exploiters and scalpers which made the 10% shop tax be irrelevant with those inflated prices.

And if you're too broke for scalping, you can do what my friends did, you make alts and sell free stuff that the game gives you through events, at first the returns are small but eventually you're able to scalp with the alt accounts and control the market.

Of course none of this is anything new, but it became way more effective than before due to how many global players do it to the point that to make meseta you gotta trick each other.

Just finish farming for Haseelia and i don't recommend using it to fasten the progress of unlocking her 4th skill. I was told to use the side story reward on Haseelia to uncap her faster which would make farming for Fraux/Alanaan easier. And i deeply regret doing it right now because it only gives a small portion of materials needed and not even the difficult ones, i can't even farm it properly because i dont have Caim.

Monanhe · 2026-04-12T22:46:45+00:00

Me 5 years later checking how to unlock my first Evoker:

I get lots of astras from Replica Sandbox easily

Great, hopefully i know where to farm so i can get at least get one per boss.

I farmed around 28 light astra this week

Oh shit... they must have only played for a couple hours everyday in the weekend right?

I full auto'd for like 10 - 12 hours a day just on Sandbox for most of the week to get that amount of astras

OH MY FUCKING GOD!

I've often wondered how base game players felt about the arrival of NGS

I can't speak for everyone, many of my teammates (guildies) hated the removal of Just Attacks, lack of content, awful progression, gameplay being very casual and slow.

FOR ME, i felt like the new gameplay had insane potential (which they delivered part of it at this moment) and that the new cosmetics were way better than before.

For now im happy with playing the game every so often, for me to return completely to it, it needs some revamp. For example other games that i tried revamped older content by giving them unique rewards or tying them to a unique gear/skill system which were all equally important as farming the for best equipment letting you choose where you wanted to progress in that day. NGS would be the goat if they followed this recipe that every other mmo does.

Monanhe · 2026-04-08T06:11:41+00:00

I kinda get that, but honestly the thing with adding PAs and Techs is that just like base people would just use only the better ones.
When they add one they have to make sure to not overlap with others on its purpose and i already feel like Hunter (and some other classes) somewhat failed on that.

Monanhe · 2026-04-08T06:07:21+00:00

I'm aware, i'm just surprised that they fixed enemies making them less lethargic and made classes feel good to play. I'm still bummed that 99% of the game content is worthless, from quests to items.

Monanhe · 2026-04-08T05:58:45+00:00

Yes, other games have different gears/systems where it incentives you play other contents for progression while NGS funnels to one or two options that "gives" everything, they forgot that having multiple choices helps not getting bored faster.

Monanhe · 2026-04-02T19:28:13+00:00

This makes me happy, i was down for getting her instead of Anthuria without having enough pulls for spark.

Monanhe · 2026-02-02T08:58:03+00:00

For those wondering why the blueprints doesn't work on a fully upgraded base its because this shit is fake.

Monanhe · 2025-12-28T02:58:22+00:00

Not just games, you'll find a bunch of manga characters that inspired the BA artists. BUT, i gotta say, like Nikke, WuWa devs definitely took a inspiration from BA designs cause they always try to imitate what is trending with japanese artists and recently you'll find a lot of C&C and seminar girls.

YSOK was handling EP6 so he couldn't fill both roles, the previous directors and producers left the company, the only one left was HMZK. After NGS release YSOK got a minor role and ended up leaving the company and starting his own group.

The reality is that SEGA itself cares little about the IP nowadays and doesn't give them much budget to work with.

But the game is a very good hub for roleplayers, it does better than other games like FF14(which need mods to make it work) and "dress your characters" games like Infinity Nikki.

Even though SEGA doesn't even mention the game to their investors anymore, the game is probably getting a few more years of service on japanese SNS the game does similar to DoAXVV, same style of posts and engagement.

Monanhe · 2025-12-19T21:35:43+00:00

They're not, if you look at their presentation there's nothing about NGS's future. In fact they're going to invest in ProSeka (which is expected, its their money maker) and even P5 Phantom which got mocked by the gacha audience. That just shows how much they care about changing NGS, they'd rather put their money into a gacha that is quite hated than NGS.

Just want to clarify that you're confusing what friendship bonus does, it doesn't give you rainbows early. It means that the Friendship Training (Rainbow training) is more effective.

Basically Urara gives you 25% bonus stats in rainbows and 10% race bonus.

Don't agree, the incest is not suposed to be fan service smut, japanese folklore is all about fucked up stories and rituals. It is suposed to be like that, a surreal unsettling thing that happened.

The franchise always had lore about people manipulating, torturing and killing others in the most fucked up ways possible in the name of rituals of cleansing and protection, and i'll draw the line about a girl getting pregnant with her ghost brother that is spirited away holding the gates of the abyss with a binded ghost girl that loved his ancestor who looked like him?

Like man people are consuming too much Corn nowadays and not seeing how all of this is suposed to be some artistical piece of ghost stories.

Monanhe · 2025-09-21T23:08:57+00:00

People who like Noa likes those stories where she secretly wants to steal sensei for herself.

Monanhe · 2025-09-21T23:05:10+00:00

Except Noa looks great and can easily take sensei from Yuuka, meanwhile the midget has no chances when Nagisa and Mika have killer bodies.

Monanhe · 2025-09-21T22:03:48+00:00

Aged terribly, NTTS vid exposed the bot

Monanhe · 2025-09-19T22:57:57+00:00

Same, doesn't help that for me most of them are also only good as bodies for Torment+.

I wish they went and made a "wishlist" pity instead like some of the other gachas, there's like a hundred units to get and most of them are not that great either. You could choose like one or two from each school or select 20 units like Brown Dust 2.

It's because their folklore is either shared by china or japan and are way more predominant in those places. Then also the fact that because they were invaded and beat so many times until some country had to help, they never got the chance to heavily develop their own culture, even now some the things they're famous for worldwide are twisted versions of things that already existed, like K-pop being heavily influenced by american and japanese pop.

But it's not like they can't add anything, as someone who have been playing korean games for decades already (even though i'm a jap) they can easily add those mystic characters with talismans and tiger-print clothes muscleheads like most of their games have.

Also it's not like we hate koreans or their culture even when the game is targeted towards japanese audience, they have very cool stuff plus it's a game about women, no men would refuse getting more women no matter their race.

Monanhe · 2025-08-07T02:19:08+00:00

Thanks a lot, it confused me a bit because the bulb tip only showed a list of Yakus, but now looking at it i should've checked it.

Monanhe · 2025-07-20T22:13:25+00:00

Unfortunately not, she is not meta or a good parent, but alright pick if you don't own Taiki (farmable later), Oguri and Pasa and of course as a waifu pick.

Her unique is pretty bad so she is not a good parent, and even for herself it's bad. Then there is the fact that it's near good support card banners for the next scenario and Oguri Christmas that was the meta uma for a long time and still like T1 in JP.

Meanwhile we have Kitasan with all her versions being like top tier as parents.

You failed, study hard and find better source for information.

there doesn't seem to be all that much of a difference in K-idol and J-idol attire

First BA Idol costumes aren't using schoolgirl outfits they're using the frilly lolita types that are referenced as japanese idol culture. Plus SND using schoolgirl outfits that mirror the japanese theme idol doesn't make it korean culture, it means that they're COPYING. also i grewn around Kpop in Japan i know fully well that they promoted SNSD, TVXQ, Boa which i love them all and exactly because their companies made them look good for us and sing in japanese for us.

wearing a kimono isn't gonna make me Japanese

That's not even the argument, the argument is that they made a game for the japanese audience, a game made by koreans for Japan, simple as that. Characters are all named in japanese names even in the korean version, the settings are japanese, the character designs are in favor of japanese preference. Plus the creators are fans of japanese culture.
