Yeesh... I ended up not bothering with Exvius after a while. It just went too complicated for me with each character having gear and magic you needed to craft and manage. It just felt like a clusterfudgicle, to me.

I understand, Brave Exvius is not for everyone. But I like to point out that you don't need to craft magic & gear in Brave Exvius. Unit gets spells & abilities by getting levels and events give gear (or you can buy shitty gear from story shops).

Gacha rate is horrible, nowadays in JP version base 5* is 3%. Meanwhile in Global its around 1.5%...

Do communities run private servers for phone games after they die, they way people do for old PC games? Is it even possible with phone games?

Its possible but meaningless. Mobile games that dont update constantly are dead and there is no point into reviving them. There are many similar mobages to play if your current one is dead.

 

[Dandte]

I went through my gacha wishlisht.

SinoAlice looks...there was a game with the same artstyle and i hated it....interesting. I love tim burton-esk figures but these units look strange to me.

I want the dissidia game or the star ocean game....Dissidia might happen...star ocean on the other hand. Nope.

 

[garath]

F:go NA version when?

Similar =\= the game I want.

That's point/meaning enough, isn't it?

This looks like the what's to look forward to for Japan's Summer:

 

[aitakute]

Kemono Friends is gonna be the bomb

 

[Kitoro]

SE's Guardian Codex officially dead.

Lasted 7 months.
I have to give them props though for releasing JP and English at same time.
Unfortunately, not the right game people wanted.

I tried that game on launch day, and was so repulsed by the menus, gameplay, and art style. I was so excited for actual co-op in a mobile game, but not like this...

I hope you guys/gals enjoy, game looks great.

As for me, since I understand little Japanese (and it'll be a story-heavy game, I'm sure), I'll just be here, drowning in my tears as I lament that this game will (in nigh certainty) never receive a Global release.

 

[Jeffrey]

kinda wish there was a bit less crafty and gear stuff in this and mmo genre in general lol.

And actiony, but those seem to always close unless they are part of some anime property like bleach or SAO.

Well those korean action rpgs seem ok, but the art is too... f2p mmoy? idk.

not really sure what i want! feel like im getting more and more impatient with mobile stuff.

My last job had way more down time which is where I ended up gacha stuff more, but now way more money, but not as much down time lol, rather play console games at home.

Any chance we get SinoAlice in the west?

 

[chrono01]

Any chance we get SinoAlice in the west?

If Nier Automata didn't do as well as it did, I'd say there would be a 100% chance that we wouldn't get it. However, since it did sell as much as it did, and Yoko Taro being a more prominent name right now, I'm hoping SE takes the risk and decides to localize it for us.

That being said, I'd say the chance of that happening is still extremely slim. I'm hoping we hear something from E3 in a few days, as that would be a good time to announce it (at SE's booth there).

Welp Alice in emergency maintenance.

Mithra Sphere looks really nice.

Hahaha. No IP attached is going to Chaos Dragon this game lol.

Its rating is still the same as another game I'm playing where you can poke the character's boobs and crotch with responses and periodically need to rub their sword and hear them moan. :/

Welp, game is dead.

People will ignore it, due to the "censorship controversy", and it will slowly die. (I hope I'm wrong.)

It does seem like an odd change though, especially considering the other scantily-clad anime waifu gatcha games. Maybe this is evidence of SE releasing this in NA after all, where such things might be construed as being "too lewd". Which it really isn't, it's just a little bit of cleavage which you see everywhere. The outfits aren't even that bare at all.

 

[casiopao]

Haha. The game is dead then. Japan take their fanservice seriously lol.

 

[Dandte]

Welcome to the censored World of Ios. I thought everyone already knew about this.

 

[casiopao]

It is not even that risque though. I mean Hortensia literally had swimsuit char and that pass.

Yeah, it's really strange.

I mean, look at some of the outfits of the characters in Fate G/O. They're leagues worse than what you see here. It's like we're living in some alternate world, where Japan received the edits meant for NA. I could see something like this happening in the Global version (if we got one), but for Japan? Weird.

In any case, I mentioned it earlier. Unless they revert the changes, this game is already dead in Japan. You don't touch their fanservice!

Edit: Maybe that was the reason for the emergency maintenance. Japan received the assets (icon and in-game art) meant for the edited Global release, and they pulled the game to fix things. GLOBAL RELEASE CONFIRMED! ...?

Imagine this was actually true and the censored actually be released in the West. Then people will bitch about the censorship and the game would die and a few months

 

[casiopao]

Welp. Either way. S-E continue to F up their mobile releases lol. Holy shit.

 

[Owlowiscious]

apparently it's the app store preview (clothes) vs in game (less clothes)

not androidvsiOS

I'd be one of the people bitching, but I'd still play the game. I don't really care at this point, I just want the game in English.

It's a shame this happened at all though, it's so unnecessary. :/

Yeah I really don't understand their decision this time. There are games way worse in the app store without any problem

 

[Tidd]

It's just the preview like owl mentioned. Screenshot from the in-game character news.

She has a bigger cleavage than the one mentioned for "censorship". I doubt that they would censor a little bit like that and then put a character like this in the game. lol

Whew! That's a relief.

Spoiler

Not that it matters to me anyway, since this one will likely remain Japan-only. :/

Can I take a moment and state how great the art is? 'cause the art is amazing.

Talking about SINoAlice. Is the gacha in that game for weapons or characters?

Weapon gives you character, IIRC. Think GBF.

I hope the rate isn't like FGO or Another Eden

 

[casiopao]

How low is FGO rate there?

 

[Caim]

Talking about SINoAlice. Is the gacha in that game for weapons or characters?

Some weapons unlock classes for characters, at the moment it seems to be Alice, Cinderella, and Pinocchio.

The rates for SS is 3% but the chance of it being a class unlock weapon is even lower.

It doesn't have to be SS to give a class though since Pinocchio's is S.

 

[casiopao]

3% seems normal as H-Saga also hit 3%. But we had guaranteed ssr for every 30 pull and guaranteed UR for every 60 pull. So there is that.^^

Emergency maintenance

Indeed, but my error came from an inbuild jb protection. I had to put it on whitelist to let it start only to be greeted by the maintenance notice.

Same as PoGO, FEHeroes or Marion Run.

Edit:

Goddammit SE pls make a Global Version, i even would become a dolphin.

So they redrew the art just for the store images? Why not just rearrange the layers like how western releases of jp games typically hide a butt or thigh behind text lol.

 

[Ryoukai]

SinO is giving me Fgo and God Eater launch flashbacks. Hope they resolve the issues quickly.

Mhm Alice insta crashes on my iphone 6s+ jb. It starts with a white screen and instantly crashes to the homescreen.

Maybe it involves a tweak you've installed? I'm using a iPhone 6+ jb and it's been working fine for me, I even got to play when the servers were up.

Has anyone of you guys played Phantom of the Kill and can tell me why the hell the game crashes on Nox like every 5 seconds? I would like to give it a go but I couldn't even finish a single mission without at least 1 crash.

It's not very highly regarded around here. It was just too slow for me, but I think it has a pretty good following in Japan. No idea on the crashing issues.
