That said I havent been able to even try it because of server maintenance. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,716 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #5 squarezero, Nov 14, 2017 Servers are back on. So far I’m impressed. Tons of depth, dramatic (if familiar) story, and a meaty gameplay. We’ll see about the monetization and gatcha mechanics, but at this point I’d be willing to spend a few bucks. Sieye Well-Known Member May 7, 2015 71 1 8 East Coast #6 Sieye, Nov 14, 2017 The production value in this is pretty high. Very surprised. So far, played for about an hour and I definitely like it. Just a heads up, in the beginning there will be a fair about of downloading of files when switching between the screens. After you download it though, its a smooth transition.

You mean when you do the 500 gem 10 unit summon? Yes and no. I did a 10 unit summon on my initial play through and foolishly opted to reroll. The folks with the handy "charts" to say who is good vs who is bad use character portraits so you really have to the characters to say yes or no to a reroll. I had pulled 3 4* and a 2 5*,Chloe and Magnus or something like that. I went ahead and re-rolled. Ended up with only a 4* pull. Tried again this morning. I pulled 2 5*, featured melee character and a not-Chloe magic knight, and 1 4*. Why was it foolish? The 5* gun user has a weird, can only attack 3 squares away that I didn't notice at first. It made the quests more difficult as trying to set up the shots were a pain. He was more of a wasted slot since I wasn't able to leverage his attacks on a more routine basis. What I didn't realize was that the bow users that you get also have the same range issue so I could have kept him as he unlocks to sniper. ?Then again, to unlock sniper, I need to collect more soul fragments for him so it might have been better that I re-rolled. I'm sticking with my 3rd attempt. Melee is stronger early on that ranged, or so I'm told. Having 2 5* in the starting quests does make things easier. It does help that I did get a thief to put in the party so I have someone to run up to the CPU archers and kill them quickly. Logi is squishy since I'm not bringing a healer. Kenichi did put up a good mini-review for the game in the comments for the world wide availability article. I would say that I could have stuck with my original pull and slowly gained more gems to summon other units to try. If you are really worried about the first 10 units you summon, best of luck. I have not found many resources to give you a good picture of what is really good vs what is meh. The one consistent piece of information I got was that Chloe is meh compared to Logi and you are forced to use Logi on story quests. I'll continue giving this a go and seeing how it works out. Hopefully the game does better than Brave Frontier did. If you didn't get certain OP units in Brave Frontier, the game was definitely more difficult than it should have been. I'll trust Kenichi's comment that you can get by without needing the OP units. ramzarules Well-Known Member Sep 13, 2014 2,112 128 63 Greece #19 ramzarules, Nov 15, 2017 uff.. this like War of Crown have superb art but the battles are in a small grid versus a bare handful of enemies. Come to think of it, like FE mobile too. Why don't they take the grid and battles of FFT, Xcom, Demon's Rise etc and insist on one minute autobattles per stage.. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,716 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #20 squarezero, Nov 15, 2017 Frankly, I enjoy the smaller battles here and in War of Crown (though so far AC has more tactical depth). Don’t get me wrong: I love FFT, XCom, and Banner Saga, but there’s something to be said for a satisfying, challenging 3 minute battle. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)

It looks like your typical Japanese gacha mechanic, meaning spend money to gamble for new character and/or possibly equipment and other item drops.
