Seventh Rebirth seems pretty bad. I thought that being able to walk around stages and the world map meant that they were going to do more with that stuff. Stages are basically the same as all of the other 3 wave gacha stuff; you can just sometimes skip battles. Same with the world map. It's just a waste of time. It would have been better if they just let you click on an area and go there like every other game...
Artstyle is really bad. All of the human models have the exact same face outside of the old man. Same facial expressions, same eyes and eye colors, literally the same....
Gameplay is the auto-attack with occasional special skills thing that a lot of these games are doing. I thought the chain system was going to be a bigger deal, but right now it's just boring and super slow.
Incredibly disappointing. P&D really does feel like a fluke when you look at everything else Gungho put out.

Just want to say, if anyone is interested in Kai-ri-Sei Million Arthur (JP), now is time to get in.
The game is celebrating its 2nd anniversary and everyone will get free:
The current regular event is also quite easy to farm.
That is on top of all your usual newbie awards.

Crash Fever just came out this week in the US and it seems pretty good so far.
Music is dope, art and polish is pretty good too.
Seems to take a lot of inspiration from Monster Strike as far as gacha rates go (as in they are pretty generous). You get a bunch of free gems for playing multiplayer.
Any thoughts?

My wind and water are finally not ass anymore. Only took 2 years to fix that. Thanks game.
Also MMrare pretty good. Just gotta, you know, uncap them and all that jazz.
So this is like... mild-gatcha, but the YuGiOh game has softlaunched. And it's all in english
http://toucharcade.com/2016/11/18/yu-gi-oh-soft-launch/
Has premium currency to buy packs. I'm still going through tutorial stuff but it seems... interesting, if you like the game
EDIT: Various gifts include 777 gems, free Dark Magician and BEWD.
Each "pack" you buy for 50 gems, has 3 cards in them

I decided not to try it out. The artstlye is just bad.
And it looks like playmobil the game.
Played the SEA version. Was really fun and inhad really good cards...don't know why i dropped it, iirc raidbosses looked the same with different skins.
Dammit, should i play the jap or australian version? My guess would be that jpn gets faster updates but i only knew older cards.
Been trying to give this one a go and I keep getting disconnects. It says they're staggering log-ins. Maybe I'll try later, but it seems ok. I just hope you can turn off all the talking and animations.

Look on the past page.
Exactly what my first impression was.

No Djeeta ripoff, might as well not even be trying.
Just started this up, and so far it runs really well and looks good too.
The current SSRs of the game: https://matome.naver.jp/odai/2147970885470674701
No tierlist yet but it seems like if you get at least one of them you're good to go.
FF Legends 2 is out as well. Seems like reboot of the first one, but I haven't played it yet.
I wish Sega would localize more of their gatcha games. Although, after Chain Chronicle, and them handing the localization over to Gumi, it's probably for the best.
It's a shame, since this one looks enjoyable, but there's no way I'll play the Japanese release when I'll miss out on a lot of the character/story elements. :/

Getting a bit burned out on Super Gundam Royal, which seems to be par the course for gatcha games after a major event ends and the rewards return to a trickle. But I finally started getting some nice drops from it, though many are just upgraded versions of old things they already introduced. ala getting a Heavy Arms Gundam with missle attacks instead of gatling gun attacks as the new 4 Star reward.
Also started playing Valkyrie Anatomia (Vaklyrie Profile game.) Got it when it was in pre-launch but never played it after the first area. Seems like they have some cool stuff going on in it but dont know how long I will stick with it with my limited Japanese.
Maybe will start rolling again with Final Fantasy Record Keeper as well.

Downloaded. I spent the initial 1500 gems on packs and pulled a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which was pretty cool, but I only have 2 BEWD. Do you unlock more packs as you rank up? Is it a time thing and certain packs are only available for a certain period of time?
Star Ocean Anamnesis closed beta started.
Just like with Bravely Default you make a JP SQEX account and you download the app from your phone.

EDIT: Does not work on emulators it seems.

Still playing Valkyrie Connect. New bosses and loot every week, new characters or events every couple of days, etc. The chat is super active and everyone is constantly discussing pulls, strategies, characters, anime, games, whatever. I super dig it. Yeah the gameplay is basically non-existent but the gacha is incredibly generous (both in currency and rarity) and the whole meta is super fun.
Dunno. I'm really loving it.
And they rolled out global servers. Game is hopping with 700+ channels with people in all of them. Even dropped $4 to get the 300 stamina/day for a month perk.

I tried it on ios. It was... alright. Nothing wowed me, already uninstalled.
At this point, I'm just waiting on SAO Memory Defrag to come to global

Star Ocean looks pretty good, but experience has told me that 3D gacha games aren't my thing. I just feel like they move too slowly in an effort to look great. I need fast gameplay because I don't have a lot of time each day to play these games. I'll still give it a try when/if it comes here.
Well....you get 13000 ingame currency which is enough for 2 multis one weapon and you will get a 5 star from a special ticket...only problem is...eveytime i want to delete the game my iphone gets stuck when the apps are wobeling and i can only force a restart when holding the power button without anything else.
Edit: Solved my Problemand managed to get 2 5* (chance of 5%) from my multis...but i don't liked the characters..so i gave up the account.

SO: Anamnesis works pretty well on my Nexus 5. It controls surprisingly good considering it's a 3D combat game.
The story has you getting attacked and getting your crew to evacuate. You try a warp slingshot around a red giant to get back to Federation but get sucked into some kind of phenomenon. You wake up on an unknown planet and meet the summoner girl Lish (sp?) who acts as your gacha, lol. Koro calculates you're 70,000 light years away from Federation space and you start your journey home. It's basically Star Trek voyager without Janeway.
They're super generous right now for rerolling. 13000 of the Symbol Stones and 1 Guaranteed 5 Star Unit and 1 Guaranteed 5 Star weapon are available as soon as you do the first battle tutorial. In addition, the 5-star rate is 5% in total, though the individual rates for chars is within that 5%.
I got Miki from my guaranteed 5-star roll and then pulled Darryl and Maria from my first 10 pull. Second 10 pull was a bunch of 3 stars. My 10 pull in weapons cave me a pair of Raven claws that none of my 5-stars can use, lol.

Here is my team after my pulls,
I can't remember who my leader is lol, still debating on wether I want to reroll. Team seems pretty solid so far so I might keep it.
Hard to decide wether I want to stick with the Japanese version of this since I think it's very possible this will be localized.

Pretty surprised to see Naruto in the top 100, tbh. But then again, they just released a popular character that everyone wants, so I'm not surprised that the wallets are open.
IMO the game has the foundation to the one gacha to rule them all - relatively fun gameplay, great IP and characters, live multiplayer co-op, pretty good free characters (you don't need uber pay units to win), pvp tournaments, raids, relatively good supply of free in-game currency, etc. The devs are also taking steps to make the game more player friendly, e.g., reducing costs of some missions so characters are easier to level up. They've also introducing a "limit break" feature where older, less powerful characters can be upgraded to reach new heights of usefulness.
At the same time, there are a few negatives. While the game has live multiplayer that is well implemented, it kinda sucks because the game's community is elitist. Even for easy content, if you don't have the most uber character in the game, you will be kicked. I haven't played multiplayer in months because of this. The game's gacha can also leave a lot to be desired. Rates seem low, even for gacha standards, and most of the characters you get are simply useless. There's also not a huge variety of these useless characters, so it kinda adds insult to injury - not only do you get a useless character, but you will have 20 of them.
While I do generally enjoy the gameplay, the developers have been pretty slow with introducing new TYPES of content and additional story chapters. I feel like I've been doing the exact same thing since day 1, and each new "event" is basically exactly the same as everything else. There are many days where I just log in once and don't play. Additionally, the game doesn't require much strategy - pick your strongest characters and you'll win 99% of encounters. There's a LOT more thought involved in other gacha games, like OPTC. In most fights, I just set the game on "auto" and let it run its course.
At some point next year, Naruto could be at the top of the heap if the devs develop it right. The game just needs time to mature and grow.
Here is the tier list: http://imgur.com/a/Mglch
You have one of the top characters.
I really like the game so far, but I do wonder if there are plans to localize it.

That's the exact same team I have right now, lol The character on the left slot is the one you can control. You can sent your rental char separate from this by checking their status screen and tapping レンタル in their portrait
Maria (blue-haired girl) is a top pull for the 5-stars out right now. She gives a 30% attack boost to your team as one of her skills and you take -10% damage as well because of her second one. She's also a ranged character which is easier to play.
Miki, the pinked-hair char, is the only 5-star healer right now and is pretty solid as a damage dealer as well. I have a 5-star staff that specifically increases her INT and gives her best damage skill a 20% damage increase.
Darril, your attacker, is lower than the other two mostly because his party skills aren't great. In battle, she should be pretty good though.
I hate that Sword Art Online is getting all of these Christmas-themed events/gatcha characters, while we're over here waiting for the game to be released. We'll probably get it in January, just after all of the cool stuff ends, and then have to wait a year before we get something similar. 
I'm surprised Bandai Namco didn't try to push the game out prior to Christmas. It seems like a good time to have your game out there, with people likely receiving funds/gift cards that they could use on IAP.

Did it for the hell of it. The game runs really well too and doesn't look too bad. However I don't think I can possibly handle another gacha grindfest in my life, and still be alive anyway. FFXV is bad enough as it is.
I like GranBlue's art style, but I would really like to find a gatcha game fully available in English. I've tried getting into Puzzles & Dragons, but it got boring pretty quickly. I moved on to try out One Piece: Treasure Cruise and Naruto, but so far they each frustrated me with the constant re-rolling with crappy summons and tedious tutorials, so I gave up on them.

Just so we are clear. You know that Granblue is in english and you just quit because of bad gacha?
