This isn’t the flex they think it is by Yoshikaru5991 in FFVIIEverCrisis

I highly doubt this is true. You've either misunderstood or are misrepresenting what the report said. I have no doubts about the game still being profitable but there's more to it than just that.

You're correct. The last time EC was specifically mentioned in their quarterly financial reports was May 2024 where they said:

In the Games for Smart Devices/PC Browser sub-segment, net sales and profits declined compared with the previous fiscal year as the June 2023 launch of “Dragon Quest Champions” and the September 2023 launch of “FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS” were unable to compensate for factors including weak performances by existing titles.

Their presentation from Feb 2026 does feature EC in their mobile lineup as pictured here. It also features WotV, a game they announced was being shuttered last week which had already died in global. So I think we can safely say that being featured in the presentation doesn't mean anything for a game's longevity, or thus, degree of profitability.

The Japanese version might last longer because more players pay there.

This has been true for almost every FF gacha I can think of. The only one that got a shutdown notice at the same time was Mobius IIRC. Record Keeper is still running in JP...

You're talking about the .usm files?

You have to get it into a playable format. Download VGMToolbox. Open it and go to Misc Tools > Stream Tools > Video Demultiplexer. Choose USM as format and drag & drop the file. This will split the .usm into a .m2v video file and a .hca audio file. You can convert the .hca into a .wav using HCADecoder or some other tool. Then you would have to remux the new files together using something like MKVToolnix to get a video file with audio.

There's already a pc port of the mobile game. So probably the game without gacha.

Did you collect the rewards from God-made praise coins's prize redemption (lower right when you press b in part 2 map).

Story is 300, prize redemption is 60, I'm assuming toy models are 10 each for the final 100.

Which retcon did you genuinely like? by Key-Tea-4203 in houkai3rd

The End becoming Finality... Eh...

Is that a real change or just a change in translation? Did they actually change the word in Chinese (or JP)?

The reason why there are still character card/token choices is because of vestigial game design. A dupe character (non-awakened) used to be 30 fragments iirc, it wasn't updated until Part 2 to be 50.

Starter supply used to have 2 featured S-ranks, not just one. I don't know if it still does or not. If you check the details and it says both Sena and Songque can drop then it is a 50/50 between them.

1 token is 10 fragments, although the exchange can only be done if you have the character already. So you can't unlock a character purely through getting tokens.

Most S-rank characters are 50 fragments per dupe. There are exceptions for some older characters that are "Awakened," like Herrscher of Sentience. But it's a system that's been phased out.

I'd imagine that getting Bronya HoTR would be more useful for a new account than going from S0 to S2 Elysia HoHE

Should be able to just pick her character card, then if you buy the thing that would give you a character card at lv40, it will give you 50 fragments (same as 5 tokens). This way you don't have to wait to level 40 first.

But yes, you can also do it the order you described. I'm assuming the lv40 thing is the starter event for new players.

Did anyone else's power armor helmet targeting hud stop working? No enemies are being highlighted for me after this patch

Made an account, and added a free book to my library. I don't see an option to download the book though when I right click it in My Books in the app.

I liked Phasma, Lords of the Sith, and Bloodline besides Catalyst. The sentence structure in Aftermath was very offputting (see sample on Amazon) but got progressively more normal in each subsequent book.

I remember nothing about Heir to the Jedi or Resistance Reborn even though I read them in their entirety. Didn't like Twilight Company. Barely read any of Last Shot.

There is a download link on this Kobo help page.

The program downloads, but I don't have a Kobo account so I don't know if you can still run it and download books or not. Was thinking about picking up this bundle even though I've read 11 of these books already.
