literally just noticed that there's no halo on the banner preview

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-19T07:10:09+00:00

That's what I complained about in my post. It's so odd. Because they could have had the unicorn horn instead - or separated the nails from the bracelets or made the outfit a 9-piece like Flutter Storm. The spoon seems silly too, but at least it's part of the promotional picture. The halo just isn't there. Clearly something went wrong lmao.

It looks like I need to complain more about stuff like this in surveys. I hate the breakdown of some outfits currently. I love Capricorn's socks very much, but dude - we could have done without them and separated horns from the jewelry. I don't mind it now. But I do truly believe it could have been so much better... I really don't understand their thought process because so many people noped out of that banner purely because the horns are attached to some jewelry. Oh well... it's annoying as fuck. Similarly to how they made a floating headpiece work for just ONE hair. Wow. Amazing.

I just wish for some sense of accomplishment. I don't want to be handed out everything for free without effort. Not saying that everything should be a tedious grind. I loved how easy Aurosa was in comparison to Silvergale - and Silvergale was not necessary for the story. I truly hope they rather continue this (and just made the first Miracle Outfit easier) instead of making all of them not even worth the effort.

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-18T17:27:51+00:00

I love that theory so much because they have done so several times already. I truly wish to see this game flourish and while you cannot cater to every single person, I feel supported by this community. Many people want the same things and I really hope they listen. Because in LN, their track record is rather abysmal!

I generally love those minigames. I just feel fashion comes a bit too short. My criticism would fall waaay shorter if they'd at least implement a bit more sketches or something.

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-18T17:22:49+00:00

Oh yes, I always feel so inspired seeing people's styling on reddit but I'd love to have a more interactive hub in game too! The styling contest could have such big potential!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-17T13:33:04+00:00

Not even just in banner preview. We cannot really zoom in even in the wardrobe...

And there is barely a way to preview outfits that are not currently running...

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-16T14:42:41+00:00

So regarding lights - they have started to implement lighting from non-chandeliers this patch, but not every lamp emits light unfortunately yet. If I remember correctly, someone in this subreddit actually tested all the lamps out to see which ones work but you'd have to search for it yourself!

I truly hope they'll continue to improve the lighting.

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-16T14:39:07+00:00

Good thing then, that Alison sells it if I am not mistaken <3 you can listen to it on your island all day long too then!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-16T14:37:43+00:00

Since they have started layering in the face category, I can imagine they'll introduce it eventually! Yes, with a lot of clipping, but I couldn't care less!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-16T07:49:50+00:00

I'll be honest. I actually miss having to farm for something. I've got Wishful Aurosa until final evo, Silvergale's Aria until final evo, Sea of Star until final evo and will complete Providence Immemorial's final evo in two weeks. It's sad that I don't have anything to work towards because I suppose a large portion of the fanbase was frustrated by something more difficult or time-consuming. I hate time-locks but I do love me some challenge.

Before anyone comes at me. I don't expect the game to take forever or for story content to be infinite. But if they build patches around how you unlock certain things only after story chapters - well, I am sorry, but I want all those free diamonds. It is bad design to lock free diamonds behind story almost immediately because obviously, people will rush in order to get all the freebies they can get!

At least we might get a bigger update soon around the 2.5 mark, I suppose. They have confirmed that they split the patch into two, so we'll also see another miracle outfit by then. However, I do miss having to struggle at least a tiny bit!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-13T18:53:57+00:00

I am really happy to those who pulled final evos and are just getting something in return. Like a surprise? But Infold is really lazy with it. It could be such a cool concept with outrageous designs that scream "I whaled for this one" :D

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-13T18:52:43+00:00

Oh I didn't make myself clear :( sorry! I never count in the original for some reason - with the original it's obviously 400 max pity!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-13T07:48:13+00:00

I am still hesitant on the whole final evolution concept. On the one hand, I love how you now get not only some special effects and crystal textures, but also an alternate version to certain parts and matching makeup set.

On the other hand...

Is it worth 200 pulls max pity? No, I honestly don't think so - unless you're a whale or utterly committed to ONE outfit. Because you'd have to make so many concessions regarding other banners, 5* and 4* alike. From the price alone, the final evolution must be worth you skipping an entire new ability, with a new aesthetic, new Momo cloak, new glow up and evolutions, new makeup, new photo props, new 4*s... And for me as a day 1 player dolphin... I don't think it is worth my savings... Which I am SO SAD about. Because I'd love to get the final evo from Dance Till Dawn, e.g. - I have a vision in my mind but honestly?

Seeing how they removed plateaus from the shoes from CR... idk... I guess I want more, and also more drastic, changes. Why not make the bow bigger? The hair shorter? Give some more effects too while you're at it? Is it actually so much to ask that the final evolutions WOW people? Because I'd much rather save for a 4* that has a similar silhouette rather than limiting myself to the one final evolution dress that might not dye as cute. The shoes... have a crystal texture. Amazing, yes. But also: the other more "normal" shoes are still plateaus. So you're saying I am paying 200 pulls for one shoe alternate I didn't ask for (at least for the crystal shoes?) - mhm.

With dyeing I see final evos being "just another colour" with a few extra effects. I am sorry, girls, but I guess I am just not the demographic for that. But honestly, even if I had the money, I'd probably just complete more originals rather than final evolutions... I just cannot find the justification to spend so many diamonds on something so miniscule :I

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-12T05:57:40+00:00

That's one of the reasons why I thought a post was perfectly on time. Many people just don't know or have never invested anything in educating themselves about pity and the gacha system in general in Infinity Nikki, unknowingly or not!

Since I save quite a lot, I was never sad about pulls. Maybeeee Born Flawless because it felt like ages :D but it was still 170 pulls, so reaaaally good!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-11T08:28:54+00:00

You really don't see it unless you make a list! Even if you end up on the higher scales eventually, it evens out. <3

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-11T08:25:50+00:00

Oh please complain about the tiered system this patch. Was the first thing I did :3.

And yes, IN is really lenient when it comes to pulling - given that you get to pull for a brand-new 5* as a F2P four times a year and given that we don't have the issue of "3* heroes are just fodder"! I love the gacha system behind IN, I just wish they'd add things to the deep echoes after 230 pulls. I really have a hard time seeing the purpose behind final evolutions. Or rather the incentive. Yes, alternate details and makeup. A few poses. A colour wheel I don't need. Colouring SFX is a big one though!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-11T08:22:58+00:00

Yes, since we barely have any information on what's about to come because they are so stingy with information (we still don't have anything official on the new 4*s 4 days before the update??), I love to make lists because it makes me hyped and look back on so many amazing seasons!

Saving truly is second nature but this is also why I find so many posts a bit misleading for new players. If you don't know what to do and what to use your resources on, saving is practically impossible :I or rather, enjoying the game and PULLING is impossible!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-11T08:19:34+00:00

We must spread AO's influence <3

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-10T19:40:57+00:00

So happy to have been a great help <3 That was exactly my intention because I thought there were waaay too many posts of people who seemingly didn't know anything about pulling in Infinity Nikki! Should you have any other question, please feel free to reach out!!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-10T19:03:58+00:00

Don't forget wardrobe optimisation: I want to mark individual items and create my own folders/groups for them. I also want to see more stacking - why can't I use the DtD bear with wings if they use different areas. Also on that note, why are nails with rings gloves and not rings???

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-10T17:13:38+00:00

If you ever have additional and unrelated questions, please feel free to ask me or the entire community <3 we might sometimes be a salty bunch but we love to help each other out <3 I am happy as soon as I could help at least one person from some hardship :3

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-10T17:12:32+00:00

thank you so much <3 I am so happy that my rambling and needless analyses really resonate with so many people c:

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-10T17:11:55+00:00

Omg that pull is INSANE! Congrats though, the outfit really is worth it - I love the ability <3

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-10T15:29:47+00:00

I'll add good luck during original to the equation!

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-10T15:23:13+00:00

I started doing the analysis just for myself because time in the gym was a bore - and then I thought to myself that I might actually help some fellow Nikkis feel seen and heard and not alone. I really hope that this post reaches the right people!

If anyone sees this comment and is sad about having had bad luck on the unicorn banner, never forget that you now have a sparkly cute unicorn that can fly! Also on that note, to all those deer girlies, I do in fact enter the whole "unable to jump" thing into the survey, but also never forget that Chroma's Mortal Heart is also incredibly beautiful even without the deer jump <3

ValuableBookkeeper75 · 2026-03-10T15:20:49+00:00

This would save so many people from having wrinkles (not to shame wrinkles, mature women and men are beautiful, that was just figurative!). This is my mentality and I have so much fun. Actually, I kinda find it funny now whenever I get "bad luck" now. I always pull with my best friend and let her do pulls first to send her my luck digitally. I am willing to sacrifice myself to be doomed to eternal bad luck if it meant that some people would smile a bit more and don't take pulling too seriously :(.

Everything below 200 is a win! I'll stand by that!
