Thank you for the update. In particular, with the blue crystal inflows. In year 1 the game felt generous as far as gachas go, not too limited for F2P to be able to get a good amount of access to costumes and gear. So far year 2 has felt predatory, and I am very concerned that after enticing people with a relatively generous game they are going to sink their teeth into the player base by offering less crystals, and more costumes to FOMO in an effort to increase spending.
As some who's borderline between whale and dolphin, I'm pretty upset with the BF bundle price increase. Stuff like this is what will cause mid tier spenders to question apending in the future.
I play on mobile so I didn't have access to those prices. It seems extremely unfair to raise the prices after so many people took advantage of it. I was gonna buy something maybe, but not anymore. I feel like I'm being scammed. I sent them an inquiry and I encourage people to do the same to let them know this is not ok. Also I agree they are not giving us enough crystals with the insane amount on limited banners that are coming out.
Have to admit, the BF packs feel like a spit into the face. If you compare them to the "usual" double weapon part packs (100 for 2 characters + gold tickets and 8800 Red Crystals) they are barely any better. Even worse, for the money you may get more Red Crystals, but less weapon parts which are arguably more valuable. This entire offering together with the "emergency price increase" gives me the impression they are confusing Black Friday with April Fools Day... (In a Kefka like manner)
I Agree with prices… that’s just bs… they could have made a lot more money making these prices instead selling shits every time… btw I really think you miss something if you can’t do the crash. A 5-10k account like your should do every crash in the game or there is something wrong with your strats or resource managing
Yeah. They would have made so much more money if they kept those lower prices. So many people were about to buy them, even f2p. Such a wasted opportunity for them. Ah. It's funny because I cleared the crash soon after I recorded this video. But I have never spent even half of that money you mentioned. I buy monthly premium pass and on average 1 weapon parts pack for Seph or Cloud a month (on rare occasions 2 but I've also gone few months without buying any when they didn't have any Seph/Cloud). I am nowhere near a whale (I have whale and kraken friends and I would never dare to compare myself to their level as my account is tiny compared to theirs - I just have some specific weapons I have wishlisted, so they are ob10 but I still haven't even gotten 130 ob10s for Highwind upgrade) and I don't invest into all character or pull on most banners, so I know that I won't always have equipment needed for every battle, especially when they force us to use very specific gear and it's fine.

"from great deal to scam" - well said!!!
Agreed I was gonna get them, but not anymore.
Yeah, Im not going to buy just because some people did have a much better deal.

Keep up the great videos, love your content!
Greed kills the game.

did you include the premium draw tickets as crystal for the total?

No wonder why. They increased prices what a joke 😂
