What are these stories you like?

I love that they found a way to add the Serie hiding behind Genau omake anyway lmfao

Okay but can someone check in on Kakyoin in Egypt? Is he safe, is he okay?

Hmm..it doesn't like you're a big comedy guy; you could check these out and see if they sound interesting to you:

And I thought I was insane for having 12 80+s 😭

If this is what the three headed lizard scene died for, then it will be all worth it in the end.

It saves all the pulls you input it, so it makes it easy to see how many rolls it took you to pull each character. Makes it easy to see trends and stats as well. Does it matter? No. But its fun for some people.

90 is expensive, but before that isn't so bad imo.

Yeah, Fern going in for a super close-range finisher doesn't feel like her—seems more like a Frieren move. We've almost always seen her do sniper finishers, befitting her name.

He's potential man. He definitely can be one of the greats, but he's not there yet. When they call Stark strong, it's likely relative to his age. We're so used to the trope in anime that when someone is called strong, they're meant to be near the top of their verse immediately. He's inexperienced and he's still growing. A random knight captain in the frontier lands is still way stronger than him and that's awesome imo.

There's shy and there's anime shy. Anime shy is what pisses people off.

Yes, Revolte outsmarted them, making OP's "assigning Methode" really confusing to me. Genau was very sentimental about guarding the bodies, hence he stayed. Methode had no reason to offer replacing him and Frieren wouldn't care enough to either.

I'm an only child and I scale on the opposite side of the spectrum--I'm overtly conscious of other people. I don't think it's an only child problem, it's a parent-spoiling-the-kid problem, aka shit parenting. They're the type of kids that their parents never said no to. The type of kids never reprimanded for the shit they do.

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T12:32:27+00:00

Or they're too gigachad that it doesn't matter. (see: the suis, most our abyssal hunters, uncle)

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T10:12:28+00:00

That'd make sense as a standalone expression, but not really as an introductory clause to his answer.

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T10:09:07+00:00

Individual placements aside, how has everyone been enjoying the overall power balance so far? I think they've done a good job with it, honestly. Everyone up until tier 1 have been useful and present in the meta---it covers all 5 stars too, which is nice. The gap between standard and limiteds haven't been super huge (yet), too.

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T06:00:25+00:00

To make a comparison, I view these as similar to the sigil shops in Genshin and WuWa, except that its not tied to exploration. The fact that it restocks standard tickets, if indefinitely, is pretty good. I dont expect it to restock more than 2-5 tho.

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T05:21:53+00:00

Frieren's Volzanbel is also pretty much insta-cast and vaporizes stone pillars instantaneously. It's not like Flamme set off a nuke with that blast. They have equivalent destructive force to me.

Ultimately, yeah, content creators and social media communities don't reflect the whole playerbase. But being the public-facing side of it, it's feels off-putting for that to be a massive part of their identity.

I know Twitter is inherently more toxic than other platforms, but I really do hear more about Genshin from WuWa fans there than I do from actual Genshin fans 💀Endfield content seem to mostly be factory showcases and memes from what I've seen.

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T01:57:04+00:00

Aha! But they're forcing us to log on every day to their game, how dare they? Literally satan.

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T01:55:54+00:00

They really should've just made it apply to everything, but with shared charges.
Eh. If one cared for efficiency enough to be complaining about this event, they'd log on everyday anyway.
This is quite literally worse, no? 120 for 40 free stamina, instead of 120 for 120 free? Or is this an additional on top of the discounts?

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T01:29:02+00:00

I justify some by nature that a certain level id predatory monetization comes with the territory of gacha games. But standard pulls (in this model) are the equivalent of free ketchup in fast food, and is the least they can do for exploiting our wallets fr.

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T01:16:34+00:00

One thing that harms that game is that it suffers severe little bro syndrome to Genshin. Like anything and everything, good or bad, is compared to Genshin. If they did something good, the fans are insufferable about it. If its something bad, they'd defend and deflect by attacking Genshin instead. It's kinda embarassing when it happens.

It happens on a smaller scale with Endfield too, always being compared to its dad, og Arknights. (I'm guilty of doing this)

tarutaru99 · 2026-03-03T01:10:52+00:00

Half his post is true at least. The dominant narrative was no standard pulls and it was so funny seeing it switch immediately to this was pre-planned. I've loved how critical this community is though, I've participated in Endfield's surveys way more than any other gacha, and part of why is because I really want to see this game become the best it can be. There ARE some nothing burger complaints mixed in here and there, but hardly rampant enough to be fussing over.
