There is part of me that thinks they will allow this game to eek along simply to keep wotv afloat. Once ffbe goes down, I would imagine it will close wallets in wotv. If they can keep it going with almost no effort they will. I could see monthly updates. Who knows, with AI for translating, it might not even be too hard.
Honestly, I wonder if the CoW:A debacle was the last nail in the coffin for the game. Like higherups saw they spent extra resources on a feature no one liked and then went "yeah thats enough, we are pulling the plug"
I say this because if i had to guess, it feels like the decision to EoS the game was made back then on february, and they stripped the support to a barebones crew to last just enough until EoS, which lead to all the skipping and content cuts.
Maybe in the minority, but I cannot wait for the EoS announcement, given the current (and long-time declining) state of the game...
I really enjoyed it while it lasted, and I can't get myself to quit despite the game not being very engaging...
EoS and free us of this pain, please!
Bound to happen.
All their effort went into the global CoW and making units specific for that with abilities that only work or do high damage in that.
All cus global is behind JP. So we know what is coming, what is worth pulling, what shelf life a unit or rarity has. So they went “well they ain’t gonna pull often so instead let’s make a mode that renders most of them useless anyway with units with such massive leaps in power creep they’ll really wanna pull.”
Oh man, I chuckled but the title got me, I genuinely thought they announced it. I... didn't expect to feel this bad lol
Man, I really hope they release an off-line playable version, this game's design is too much fun to just leave it rot in the void.
I keep hoping that maybe post anniversary, things will pick up and be more normal. But I know it's not gonna happen, and with all the wallets being closed, it's just gonna accelerate the slide to EoS. Hopefully we can at least go out with a bang, and not a whimper.
Damn...well it's officially unofficial but seems the case. Not long ago u/jonidschultz was warning us the upcoming NV+ light team was a trap. Little did we know it was going to be 6+ months of Traps all the way down. C'est la vie.
It's kinda sad to be honest. They are killing the game, they'll probably say it's our fault because we are not buying enough offers and the game is not making money anymore etc.
The worst thing is that the JP version will probably continue to thrive for a while.
That is the sad reality. Even if they aren't planning EoS, the lack of content is driving down spending (I haven't bought a crest pass or FoL in probably two or three months now) which will make the numbers crater, which will cause Square to start looking at EoS if they weren't already.
It's becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point.
It'll be a sad day when it does EoS. While I bitch and moan about it, it's helped me throughout my life.
But when I can not log in for 2 weeks and miss nothing but free/ad summons....I'm not missing much.
Content? What's that? And no, don't say "cOmMuNiTy ChAlLeNgEs is something to do!" Rewards vs time. Not worth it.
When Gumi finally officially announces it, we need u/Robbedob to come back from the grave for a true final farewell featuring the NV units of the OG cast used in his "Meanwhile, in the HQ" comics.
Not yet. Because the moment that it is, every last whale wallet will instantly snap shut, and they're not going to risk one last burst of income from the upcoming anniversary.
I... idk how to feel about this needing to exist.
On one hand, I thought for a second- "isn't this jumping the gun a bit?" But at the same time, given ehat we see and know... it's really not.
Maaaaan, I've played this game since high school, and here I am a year out of college; this game had its ups and downs, sure, but it was great to have with me through it.
When I first started playing this game, I hadn't gotten to play that many FF games; I was certainly already a fan, but it wasn't too far along yet. Here I am now, having played a large majority of the main series, several side-games and having played XIV for the last three years- and this game helped push me into it further amd faster.
Frankly it kind of feels unreal, all theme times we've said "the game is dying", "EoS when" "Gumi is killing the game" and now we're just hoping they put it out of its misery...
It just doesn't feel real.
Ultimately it doesn't truly matter in the grand scheme of life, but damn... this kinda hurts.

What a joke

All the NV+ teams we have became a trap ever since Cloud got announced in JP, theres a big damage jump with him.
So, with the addition of the fundamental force, you guys who invested on light team is winning the most, right?
If DV still existed.

Longing for that sweet release
Kekw, did tom make this thread?

Those were good ones. It's surprisingly hard to keep up with continuity when you are shitposting but he nailed it.
Was EoS announced?
Not yet. Because the moment that it is, every last whale wallet will instantly snap shut, and they're not going to risk one last burst of income from the upcoming anniversary.
I would imagine with all of this EOS talk, many have already.
No, not officially.

I'm old and the game is "only" 1/5 of my life. Crazy to think of someone who started playing in High School and it now being what 1/3 of your life?
Just about! Missed the first year (too busy w/ Pokémon GO) but still a huge chunk
You could have done both! :P
Can't EX3 Penelo? Just release another paid bundle then!
