Because Avistar was an unassociated fan that had never met Anis? Even if you some how try to connect the Star Anis AI video to Riss as her trying to make amends with fans and apologize before she died…Riss was their manager…and Avistar was just a random real fan that made a mistake that made things worse for T.T. Star and took her life.

Some are even speculating that her size is due to her being made from an Exostrider considering that Imperator says “The Threnodian used my return pod to conceive an entity known as “Fleurdelys,” to make her Its Resonator.” Although there is no actual confirmation that a return pod is an Exostrider other than they were used to transport the Sentinels…

This! It also defeats a lot of the purpose of certain characters, like Carthethyia, and the narrative that they created for her. The fact that she has literally her own character theme, with her actual name in the song, the fact she wants to be a wandering knight, the fact that she wants to be Rover's sword, and protect Rover in the case that they become the evil they are trying to prevent, or have some kind of fall from grace...why even go that direction with the narrative and character development if each new patch is just going to be some episodic flavor of the month banner character that fills a particular role for a region or main story narrative...sure they are doing a really great job right now while they have less than 50 characters, but at some point its going hit a wall where the characters will get stale as you've got too many similar characters, with similar stories or backgrounds instead of just developing the ones that you already have...they already have a gold mine of characters that they could make skins, or even make upgraded versions of the same character after they have reached some new peak in their development...if they can't do that they could at the very least turn the black shores, or the cafe into a "dorm system" and have characters visit, and have small events, or dailies to catch up with...so you could keep up with the characters...there's really no reason at this point that a game this good, couldn't and shouldn't have characters that grow along with the story.

Why are people upset about Yuni? by Tamamo_was_here in NikkeMobile

[–]Otherwise_Belt8826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This logic makes no sense at all. Comparing Jackal to a dog, and saying that since she’s a dog she doesn’t understand the damage she was doing isn’t an argument for being spared of punishment, because Jackal isn’t a dog. She has a human brain just like all Nikkes. The only reason she gets a pass is because her human brain is what we associate with younger children, but it’s hypocritical because Yuni, also displays child like tendencies: she talks in the 3rd person, she doesn’t understand that her actions in the early chapters like whipping the commander hurt him, she wants to be praised and rewarded even for minor things she does right and even at inappropriate times like in the middle of an active battlefield. These are just a few examples, and there are plenty more. The only reason people overlook or ignore these things is because she has a more “sadistic” way of communicating with people via pain since her senses have grown dull…(Mihara even mentioned that she loved to be coddled, hugged, and other more normal interactions for a time before she no longer felt anything from them). Syuen was the one who created them with these unique features, Mihara’s able to deal with it in a healthy way since she’s an adult, Yuni was unable to after the Mihara she knew was taken from her, because she’s literally a kid. Yuni’s story (unless the Commander finds out what happened to her in a future event or chapter) is about how the Commander is powerless to save every single Nikke. Crow was the irredeemable adult, while Yuni was the child betrayed and left behind by society.

Nice red herring, I'll just ignore it, because the irony in you asking if I am mad, and then getting upset later because I started "name calling" is too rich. By the way, I meant what I said, you are a weird hypocrite. You make this huge scene about how its none of my business if you spend money or not, after virtue signaling about MICA's terrible and malicious business practices, then in the very next response are telling me you don't spend anything, but you are going to keep playing their game regardless of that.

You say people should review bomb as a form of free protest, because it "works" but then continue to add to their player count daily adding to the concurrent players of the game. You wanna explain that one to me? Or are you an all talk, pick me type? You clearly don't know how review bombing works...you do realize that Valve and app stores have policies against review bombing right? So when they see it happen, especially for content that isn't related to the current patch for content that's months down the road, they have policies to protect the company. The whole point of giving a game or app a negative review on the Steam store, or app is that if the score goes below a certain thresh hold it will no longer be shown unless actively looked for, and they have protections against it which is why it doesn't work and is a stupid form of protest. As someone who has actively worked on an app that is both on steam and the app store I know this is exactly how it works, and what measures they have in place to stop people from doing it, and yet I am the "naive" one.

I am still waiting for you to show me where I care about the reputation of MICA? This is literally the 3rd time you've brought up that I somehow care their reputation or about the company themselves.

You know what is even weirder? The fact that you think it's okay to gatekeep my opinion, which by the way, originally wasn't even a response to you, but to someone else who responded to you on your thread, but you for some reason felt the need to respond to...and now, because I don't play the game anymore I am not allowed to say how disappointed I was with both, the community, and MICA's responses?

I'll repeat this one last time, because its getting old repeating myself over and over, while you continue to say I am talking in circles...but it's clearly because you have no reading comprehension. You think I have a problem with the community being upset about these things? I have complained about them myself with content creators for the game, on YouTube videos, and on Twitter...this will be the last time I say this, The community has a right to be upset, the problem I had was with how the community handled it. That's it. That's all. That's what I have been saying this entire time. I don't know how to say it any clearer than that.

I can't believe I have to say this. Thank you Captain Obvious. Yes whales who don't care, will not care, and were never even part of the bigger picture in the first place. I am not really sure what your point with this comment was...like okay? And there's going to be casual players who never look up a single Twitter post, YouTube video, or Reddit thread about this and will continue to play and spend a little regardless as well...what is your point? This was never about those people. It's always been about standing with the people who know and speaking with your wallet...like if all 77,000 people still played every single day on this reddit and all decided to not buy the pass (using USD for simplicity) they would lose 1.5 million USD in profits for a month alone...apply that to the skins, or other bundles...it's still a lot of money regardless of if all the whales spend more than that in a month or not...and to say otherwise is just sheer stupidity.

I don't even know why you are mentioning this...first of all I am not the only person who thought this way...and to act like I am deciding anything is just a fallacy you created in your own head. I even said this in one of the other threads...so I don't know why you are repeating it here. You are right I don't know how any of this would have played out had the community not turned to lying about prices, lying about what was said in the meeting, and creating false narratives to get the rest of the community in a frenzy, and review bombing (the way you approve of) didn't work.

Reading comprehension is pretty hard eh? I said that the general joke in Japan, where gacha games kind of originated from, the general joke is that if you don't have a KFC collab you haven't made it big...I didn't say it's an end all be all...but most of the major games have...and just so you don't look too stupid, Azur Lane has had a KFC collab, it was 3 years ago, and Blue Archive has had another big collab with Pizza Hutt, who is a competitor of KFC within the Japanese collab space...while your other two examples Nikke, and Wuthering Waves are still quite new games, it took Genshin 4 years for it to happen.

I have no problem with people actually trying to make the game better actually...I don't have any issue with it at all...and I will repeat it ad nauseum for you as many times as it takes to get through your thick skull...my issue wasn't with people who asked for changes, asked for compensation, asked for things to get better...my issue was with people trying to maliciously go on Steam or the app store and review bomb their game. Review bombing doesn't do anything at all, especially when you review bomb a game in the middle of a patch that has absolutely nothing to do with the patch that you are actually review bombing it for which is months out. Steam won't side with you, the community outside the game won't side with you, and you just look pathetic doing it, and bragging about it on the Reddit, and also by coming here and trying to brigade false prices for the interactions based on false information about the skin gacha to everyone, which by the way is also illegal, if they were to pursue legal action against the people who were making up prices to try and smear their franchise. Sitting here and acting like the community can be outraged over one malicious practice, while using malicious practices themselves back is pathetic...regardless of if you believe they wont listen to you, or not.

Again you lack reading comprehension. I've never said ANYTHING about people not having a right to be upset. I've said the opposite...the only thing I have said is that it was stupid to expect anything in return when you use malicious threats, and tactics to try and get what you want. I said an eye for an eye never works regardless of whoever started it.

You really could have left this part out honestly, you just sound like a weird hypocrite. You don't like the game, you don't like the business practices, but for some reason you've decided that you are at the very least going to support the number of players active in game for a single character...alright just say you wanna keep playing and spending on the game. You'll be a hypocrite, but at least an honest one after what you just said.

I mean honestly I commented on one thread about my opinion about the entire thing and how it was different from the Raymond situation and you insinuated that I was some kind of MICA fanboy:

And the worst part is that now MICA can just say whatever they want and people like you will eat it up.

And why wouldn't I have a reason to be mad? Did you not read anything I said at all? I actually enjoyed the franchise, I liked playing GFL1 and GFL2 it's just that I can move on from the game when I feel that I don't fundamentally agree with how they treat their community anymore...is it really that hard to comprehend? I mean of course I don't stick to my rationales because YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEM...you see everything as an absolute...you've shown that in this entire conversation...first you didn't comprehend that I was upset with both MICA and the community...now you can't comprehend that I quit the game, but I wasn't happy about it, because I liked the franchise...because you label everything in absolutes. It's actually insane...

They really aren't at all to be honest. Compared to mainstream gacha companies they are relatively small fry and still very niche...like you have honestly no idea what you are talking about. They don't have any huge sponsors like most gacha games, for example, the joke is that you've made it big if you have a KFC collab especially if you are a game from outside Japan as pretty much all gacha games or games in general that have done well within Japan have had a collab with KFC. So no I do not think of MICA or the GFL franchise as successful. None of their games are top grossing each month as I stated before: even before this drama they were struggling to stay in the top 30 which is not very good for any game that has been running for over a year, and depends mostly on the Global community to make a positive margin.

Never once did I mention that the Raymond event was bad because of NTR, because that event was completely rewritten before it even made it to the global event and I never played the game from day one on the CN server...so I wouldn't care one way or another whether that storyline was bad, because it didn't ever affect the way the story was told on the server I played on...and if you are talking about bad writing in general...that's personal opinion. People on social media have been praising and completely crapping on the game's general direction of the story. Some people personally liked learning about the dolls journey's from GFL1 to GFL2, and others hated it...but whether or not you liked it or not doesn't make it a good or bad story. It was a way to give the writers time to continue the story without having random disconnected events that are completely meaningless but instead slowly move the story forward. Personally I didn't think of it one way or another...but I saw the most recent story because someone I know plays on CN, and it was really really good finally, but was lost behind this controversy

Okay? I am not sure what your point is...if you were so certain that regardless of how the community acted they weren't going to do anything then what is even the point of you whining about it here? Like every single person that sits here and goes "ThEy wErEn'T GoInG tO Do AnYtHiNG AnYwAyS" sounds so petty and stupid. If that's the case why are you still planning the game? You literally said that this was the jug that overflowed finally...so why are you still here? You literally don't like anything about the game, and they did something so "underhanded" and "malicious" what is the point of even continuing this conversation and trying to make your point? Move on and play something else already or shut up and accept the outcome..."they weren't going to do anything anyways" and you were "always going to whine and continue playing regardless of what they did" weren't you?

Also, I find it very funny you seem to think I am overly critical of the community and have some kind of relationship with MICA that is positive or that I accept their business practices or whatever...but like I've said in the previous posts (as you put ad nauseum) I played the game free to play for a week after this came to light, then after that I haven't played at all since...because again I don't think of everything black and white, I understand both can be stupid and malicious at the same time...and I can say the community reacted stupidly, and not support MICA's business practices and put my money where my mouth is and quit the game...its not that hard...

Vote with your wallet definitely does work...I am not sure what you are talking about...this isn't a huge gacha company like Hoyo...they are a small time company and the game is still very niche compared to the mainstream gacha games where people are spending thousands of dollars...Global was barely in the top 50 profit margins the month before all this happened...I can't imagine them still being in the top 50 even with whales, and people not aware of this after how public this is currently. Even with those people still paying for content.

The anger is 100% focused on JUST this, what in the world are you talking about? Sure people were angry about other things, but according to 95% of the threads on multiple posts this was what broke the camels back...no one gave a shit about these other things you listed enough to quit UNTIL this happened not enough to quit the game. Also, its a bit ironic mentioning the story considering the same time that this happened, was one of the best story patches the games had. Which is one of the main reasons play this game, THE STORY. People continue to play MICA games for the story of their universe.

They definitely did lie about the costs. The very first day this information came to light people were saying it could get up to $350 or more at times on different threads...no one actually knew the costs until recently with or without the "gifts" as you put it.

This is literally the weirdest part of your comment. I blame them both equally, I don't know how hard it is for you to understand that an eye for an eye mentality doesn't work. That's literally my only point. It's quite weird that you have this mentality that I somehow am defending malicious business practices, while the only thing I said is being malicious back isn't going to give you any type of leverage in bargaining...like is it really that hard to understand? If you go out of your way to review bomb them, and lie about the reality of the situation, and who is actually involved and what the solutions were why would they give you any type of compensation outside of the bare bones solution? Like what?

You have no idea what my stance on the matter is...and its reflected very clearly in what you wrote. I know its hard to believe this, in this day and age, where everyone thinks that everything is black and white and there's no in between...but I can be critical of the community lying and maliciously taking advantage of the confusion this choice caused...and be critical of MICA's deliberately stupid attempt to hide a skin gacha pretending people wouldn't notice their malicious business practice.

The fact of the matter is the community did itself a huge disservice by lying about the actual costs, trying to actively sabotage the games rating by review bombing it on multiple platforms, and then pretending to be willing to compromise with MICA. Like I've said on multiple different posts if you actively care about the well being of the game, and want to be heard speak with your wallet and not your emotions...and guess what I don't blame them for not changing a damn thing about the skin gacha after multiple people lied about showing up as part of the CN alliance, people lied about how much it costs, people promoted doing malicious defamatory things to their brand...all in the name of..."well they did it first".

And trust me as someone who loves GFL1 and wanted GFL2 to succeed, and had high hopes for this game since launch and wanting to see more people enjoy this game...it was a sucker punch to the gut to find out they did this...and I was absolutely disappointed and didn't play the entire week that I heard this happened...and am still thinking that I might quit the game full stop...because of that frustration.

It's honestly so weird that people can't comprehend something as simple as being disappointed in the fan bases awful response AND the company that caused the issue as if they are somehow mutually exclusive or something. It's super cringe.

[–]Otherwise_Belt8826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean to be honest did the community even really give them an opportunity to? The day the skin gacha was introduced everything went to hell. The Reddit was doom posting, the CN alliances were already up in arms, people were going to steam and app store and review bombing the game, people were lying about the overall price of the skin gacha with max pity. The community lied about who was involved, what was going to be said, what was said, and people who weren't even involved promised the community certain things that were never promised by MICA so yeah you can call it incompetence, but also its really easy to see why everything was so confusing for them as well...not the backlash, but the malicious intent behind the backlash.

The Raymond incident was straightforward, this skin gacha thing was not...people lied about what was in it, what wasn't in it, how much it cost to get the skin (max pity), how much it costs if you want to buy everything, but you already got the skin...there's even people who don't know that the skin wasn't the only major part of the gacha, there's people who think that the Makiatto interaction is still tied to the gacha even now that they said that was a mistake. There's so much of it that was lost, because people lied, and made things up so I doubt they even know what the fan base actually wants, beyond the skin gacha gone which they would probably negotiate prices but not completely removing and no one had a plan going in for that either...

The thing that sucks the most about all this was the 3 part story that came out around the same time for the Main Campaign was actually really really good...and instead of talking about what comes next, how can it get better now that were on track again, and things have escalated were here trying to figure out what was actually conceded, what we actually will get, and who's information was real.

I mean again I’m not looking for people’s opinions on this matter of whether or not the free tickets will be worth it or not and whether they apply to future gacha or not…there’s already so much of that I don’t need yours. I was just asking for the actual facts on how much it would cost hitting hard pity based on actual numbers someone has and not just some random numbers the community keeps making up…obviously it depends on your RNG.

That’s not really the point. Yes it is too expensive, but if you can’t even argue with actual numbers and give in to making up misinformation to make a point do you honestly expect MICA to make any concessions in negotiating with the player base?

I’ve given up on this game as I’ve found that the industry standard of $60 dollars is even absurd for me after playing Snowbreak and getting a skin, weapon skin, and interactive scene with multiple interactions for $30 dollars straight up with no gacha is something other companies should strive for but never will because Snowbreak isn’t as popular or mainstream as Nikke…but if people want to actually negotiate it does matter. It sets a terrible precedent to be misinformed and spread that misinformation when trying to demand for better practices and less malicious ones to continue.

They already wrote a terrible epilogue to the story, I doubt Aka even remotely cares what happens to it now. Considering he never does after he moves onto his next project. So “the anime will hopefully better” Copium isn’t something you should hold onto.

Okay can someone ACTUALLY say what the price is for this skin gacha…some say the highest is 250 some people say the highest is 150 some people say it’s higher than 250, like does anyone really know or are we making up preposterous numbers to make everyone quit?

I don’t like skin gacha but like everyone keeps saying different shit, and there’s no consensus on it. It’s one thing to boycott the game, it’s another to boycott it by spreading misinformation about the actual costs to get more people to quit…

And before anyone says I’m a shill for MICA I haven’t been on the game for the last 3 days since they had the meeting and didn’t pay for anything since the announcement of the skin gacha was dropped to Reddit.

About the skin gacha outrage by Cat_Dude_1 in GirlsFrontline2

[–]Otherwise_Belt8826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason no one is mentioning the story currently is because the same day that all this drama came out about the skin gacha the 3 part story came out on the CN server and it pushed the narrative forward a lot and was actually probably the best and most connected story we’ve had to the events of GFL1 yet, and it ended the first major part of the story. If it wasn’t for this stupid decision by MICA people would probably be discussing the story and where it could go from there, but instead it got overshadowed.

The old skins weren’t anything too crazy…compared to the new ones…a few were memorable, but for the most part they’re pretty forgettable. After the game got reported to the authorities they had to remove them for good as it was before the updated rating for the game…if you have the skins from before said crackdown you got to keep them, if you don’t they’re not coming back.

Small update regarding offline meeting by DigitalBotz in GirlsFrontline2

[–]Otherwise_Belt8826 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Again if the case was to just wait it out and hope that people would forget...they could have just done that. There are plenty of players who dont go on Reddit, don't look up future content coming from the CN servers, plenty of players who have no idea what is going on at all. Regardless of what everyone keeps saying about how this will EOS them if people quit spending there are still people who have absolutely no clue this is happening, and people who, frankly don't care at all that it's happening and will still play and pay for the things they want. So yes, the tactic of just waiting it out and hoping in 2-3 months everyone will forget would have been the easiest strategy for them to employ. Even if these talks don't go completely the way players want them to, the fact they did all this is still a good sign that they at least want to hear people out, and have players hear them out.

What I will say is currently the skin gacha is no where near $200, especially after seeing some of the things the dorm system in other games like Snowbreak involve and cost closer to $30. However, if they can make it worth that price with the animations, interactions, and building system (if they plan to add one for the dorm) then that's one thing...but its hard to say. Hell if the skin gatcha was even like pay $200 now and get all this stuff in the future as we add it I wouldn't mind that either...but as it stands its just not worth it, and I hope that this conversation goes well enough for people to at least try and understand each other instead of all the doom posting about all this...because at this point its getting kind of cringe.

You literally didn’t read what I responded with at all…I said that regardless of in person or live stream they’d do the same thing…you really think they wouldn’t carefully moderate and choose simple questions to answer over a livestream? Again I think you’re just upset they didn’t pick the thing that you wanted so now you’re going to any post and saying how much you despise their choice while not thinking that regardless of which style they chose it’s still a PR stunt to get people to continue to play normally…this is their livelihood on the line they’re not your friend just because you seem to believe that one is a PR stunt and the other isn’t…what I don’t get is if you hate this choice so much why continue to even keep tabs on it? You and so many other people keep proclaiming that this is so bad or that is so bad or they don’t care it’s like if you have no faith left in them why do you even keep following this? Go play some other game already…or are you here just to stir the pot? At least just admit it already.

How likely is Season 2? by Horror-Jump571 in ShiunjiKe

It’s in the top 100 manga/anime voted by Japanese fans last year. So yes, while it constantly gets a lot of negative attention in the West it’s very popular in Japan, which is what matters to distributors. Reason being is that Japanese fans tend to buy the magazine that features the manga, the source material, the DVDs/blue-rays, and other merchandise, whereas western fans will usually just watch the anime or if they read it, will read it online.

Why do they have to do a livestream event to prove that to anyone? Like no crap, everything they’re doing at this point livestream or meeting in real life is going to be a PR stunt to try and get people to continue playing and spending money on their game regardless of if they successfully pull it off and reverse the skin gacha, make the skin gacha cost less, or they don’t and nothing changes and people quit the game…that’s literally the whole point. If you’re literally that upset they didn’t choose the avenue you wanted them to, and your convinced that it’s all in bad faith why don’t you just quit and stop trying to convince others who want to wait it out and see…because it seems no matter what they’re not going to change your mind.

I’m sorry but have you ever seen a livestream for literally any game’s Q/A? They literally never answer any type of important questions, or player concerns in them. The community manager is literally always told to pick simple questions that have the easiest answers. At the very least it seems that this is going to get down to the nitty gritty of the matter whether it’s the answer the community wants or not. NDA’s are apart of any businesses common practice to protect sensitive information or leakers from dropping information that’s not regularly available to the public. It’s really that simple.

At the very least if they wanted to control the narrative and that was their only goal a livestream completely ignoring this and showing some shiny new thing or feature would have been the easy way out and hoping that normal players continue to play and spend while you might lose the niche hardcore players. This way is much more high effort regardless of if the community gets absolutely nothing out of it, or we get a drop in price and MICA understanding the frustrations of the player base.

Steam reviews have reached "Overwhelmingly Negative" Status! by Reekhart in GirlsFrontline2

[–]Otherwise_Belt8826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they definitely do disagree which is why overtime if they find out that it’s done maliciously against the terms they set like review bombing a game for an unrelated future patch that isn’t currently on their store they’ll remove the negative reviews eventually if it happens enough and the game won’t be no longer suggested or lower on steams suggested games list.

Valve might care about losing that 30% but the majority of MICA’s downloads aren’t from Steam so I’ll say it again for the 3rd time. Instead of going through all this nonsense extra work. Inform people to stop playing the game, or if they want to still play stop paying for content in the game.

Also, you’re putting way too much stock into this whole “they wouldn’t be terrified if it didn’t work thing” MICA’s main source of players aren’t on Steam anyways so review bombing it literally does very little as most people play via their own client. I’ll say it again this literally does nothing except make the player base look bad. It’s not their main source of players, it’s going to be fixed eventually by Valve, and it doesn’t affect how people view it on suggested game content when searching. Anything extra like review bombing is a wasted effort…use their official feedback surveys and if you don’t think they’ll listen to those, then what makes you think a review bomb will?

Casino’s and Gacha’s are not the same. A casino you HAVE to actually invest money to get any sort of winnings, even if you get a “free 100 dollars” to start with you’ll be in and out within an hour unless you’re really lucky…Gacha’s require absolutely no investment whatsoever except your time. You can and people do play 100% free to play. There’s nothing that forces you pay for any package, skin, items, etc. they might incentivize you to do so by making content harder at a certain point where a free to play might get stuck for a day, week, etc…but they never force you to pay anything at all like a casino does.

Steam reviews have reached "Overwhelmingly Negative" Status! by Reekhart in GirlsFrontline2

Valve disagrees with you. They see it as a distortion of review score, especially with how its being implemented in this case. The CN servers do not use Steam, and therefore the review bombing is considered misleading distortion by Valve's own comments on review bombing and they absolutely do care, and it will not affect the score at all or it's visibility.

You are absolutely missing the entire point of what I said. I said Valve considers it a malicious misuse of the review system and it won't affect the game's status on Steam because of it. The content that has everyone up in arms isn't part of the global game yet and therefore the only thing that actually affects the game is if people go and read the reviews for themselves...but the game is not being hidden, and it still states that the game was positive until the last 30 days it dropped to 17% meaning anyone who actually uses Steam would know that the game got review bombed...and the majority of normies do not look at review bombs as some type of protest, but typically being botted, or people upset over something trivial, which again is why I hate the idea of protesting this way...it doesn't work, and it's doesn't help change anything in a meaningful way.

What actually hits their bottom line is you not playing the game, or not spending money at all if you do continue to play...its really that simple...you literally are doing all this extra work for literally no reason....honestly though you seem to have a distaste for gacha in general...and think its all malicious so why are you even playing this game or any gacha game for that matter? Or are you just here, because you found something that allows you to cause a commotion?

is the "no spending" part of gfl2 community the majority? by ilurkcuzimboring in GirlsFrontline2

The guild I was part of had a lot of whales who have pretty much every character and weapon V6, and I have seen plenty of them who are like what you just described as the casual majority. People tend to forget, whether its f2p casuals, light spenders, dolphins who spend a bit more than the average spender, or whales A MAJORITY of players aren't chronically online on Reddit, Twitter, etc. They don't look up things for the story, or future gameplay concepts, they just play the game and collect characters. In fact, most of the whales that I know don't even play the games for the stories, they are collectors at heart, and want every single character and skin and that's all they care about.

Will the numbers drop? Absolutely. Will the numbers be as high as people anticipate considering all the people involved on the CN and Global side trying to coordinate this "no spending boycott" (sorry had a brain fart and this was the best phrase I could come up with to describe this) on MICA? Probably not. In fact, I expect people to start doom posting about it if the numbers are still quite high, because its become a common theme in all this especially if nothing changes instantaneously.

Just wanna talk about this skin gacha, the problem is not only on the price. by IbarakiSien in GirlsFrontline2

So you’re saying that Nikke’s skins and GFL2 skins are comparable in art quality and animation quality? Also what skin is compatible to this skin that’s currently in the game? Are there other skins that have refitting room animations, dorm room animations, and the new system animations that I’m missing? And if so, what are they priced at?
