Cant believe no one made a thread yet!

Just started this and it seems alright, wonder how bad the timer shit will be as that will determine a lot of enjoyability

archnemesis · « **Reply #1 on:** February 04, 2017, 03:07:44 AM »

The timer is not bad at all. It resets completely several times per day. I'm up to story chapter 7 and I find it shallow and unbalanced. I will probably go back to Pokémon Go in a few days.

Have you played any other game in the series? All the portable games are really good.

Haven't playyed any FE games so this wasn't for me. Shame, it looks super cute. Couldn't get into Granblue or Terra Battle either.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #3 on:** February 04, 2017, 04:12:02 AM »

Yeah i played some before, seems a bit easy so far, and no permadeath...

archie4208 · « **Reply #4 on:** February 04, 2017, 08:28:06 AM »

Unironically my GOTY so far.

To be fair I've pulled three 5* heroes without paying a dime or rerolling.

archnemesis · « **Reply #5 on:** February 04, 2017, 02:44:12 PM »

I've gotten four 4* heroes so far. Marth had a special animation so I expected him to be a 5*, but no.

how can i see this rating and is it important?

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #7 on:** February 04, 2017, 04:47:44 PM »

bleh everyone i have is 2/3 stars :'(

gonna reinstall and see if it helps

bluemax · « **Reply #8 on:** February 04, 2017, 07:34:05 PM »

I re-rolled once on the first day and got 2 4 stars and 1 5 star (Lucina). Then today I did another pull and got 4 4 stars.

So far it is fairly easy, I haven't even really run out of stamina because I get bored or move on to other things before it does.

The gacha in this is prob the most ill conceived basura in a mobage, and ive played my fair share. It goes:

RNG for the type of characters you can get. (Wanted a specific colored type of unit and didn't get that colored circle on the summon screen? Too bad, you're out 5 orbs).
RNG for the character you're gonna get.
RNG for the RANK of the character you get (WHY? /Getting/ a character you want is hard enough as it is!)
RNG for the stats of the character you get. People claim that the average out once you get to level 40, but you can still get massively screwed over the course of leveling if the game just wants to fuck with you.

The difficulty is totally bonkers too. You're easily too low leveled to beat anything, at their level and its an ok but still easy fight, or overleved and you steamroll the enemy. Not to mention the game is really lacking in content, even for a launch mobile game.

idk why you're trippin over it, we're still getting a new (er, remake) traditional fire emblem.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2017, 10:13:05 PM »

That game and this game being bad or good aren't a mutually exclusive thing.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Not helped by Fates also being hot trash and most of Heroes being based on that.

Yeah I did my second pull because I was hoping to get a green unit and I got 4 red and 1 blue. As if gacha systems are shit enough, something like this is gonna get people to either quit or super whale.

The other thing is, most other gacha games know that they're grind fests so they have auto battle options for when you're grinding stuff that doesn't require thought, but there's pretty much no way to make that work in FE so the grinding is just going to be even more tedious.

I feel like the drop off for this is going to be even worse than Mario or Pokemon.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #14 on:** February 06, 2017, 09:16:39 AM »

Yea, I've learned the hard way with gacha games (PDZ and Monster Strike), you spend 100 hours getting this awesome team, but you still have to grind hard (time-consuming) dungeons for materials/exp while you wait weeks (or even) months for the next update to get new content.

Once I read the battle system was dumbed down from a typical FE game, I decided not to jump in.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #15 on:** February 06, 2017, 03:09:37 PM »

The F2P aspects make the balancing a complete mess, and yet I still find the game pretty compelling. There's a lot of fun to be had without spending any money.

Up to Chapter 8 and having a good time, but I can very comfortably bail as soon as I start getting a whiff of paywall.

Getting specific characters who are 4* or 5* is basically asking people to win the lottery in this game. I'm good with my shit team

I think she's the best character right now and the most impossible to get.

archie4208 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 07, 2017, 04:20:27 AM »

She's up there, but she isn't the absolute best in the game.

And Takumi is the impossible one to get.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #22 on:** February 07, 2017, 10:38:29 AM »

When you accidentally make a team entirely composed of S and A tier characters

Boredfrom · « **Reply #23 on:** February 07, 2017, 04:03:10 PM »

There is potential but right now I feel is a unbalanced mess. Good luck getting your favorite in a Gacha that gives you the same character of the same rarity in three pulls (I got a Lyn early on, thought).

Is dumbed down, but is still way better than a regular gacha waifu game. The problem is that at certain point you will need a) Rank up characters to become viable in later levels (so grinding for materials) or b) using the gacha to get decent units (so requires luck and either money or grinding a limited resource)

I just need to know if my boys Donnel and Ricken are in this.

The gacha is so bad... I got a five star Chrom aim a random pull but jack shit units when I pay. At least love live gives you something after a tenth pull or Puzzles and Dragons having seasonal gatchas with decent stuff.

bluemax · « **Reply #35 on:** February 16, 2017, 12:14:32 AM »

I tried a pull on the new banner hoping I would get a green character, 4 reds and 1 grey. I tried force quitting the app to see if it would let me re-roll for free but alas it did not. I decided to not go in for 4 more red characters given that my best characters are ALL RED.

Worst gacha system ever.

Played through opening and first two adventures. The introduction of "THIS IS MY POWER" didn't include instructions on how to activate the power. Tried everything, including double-tapping the player-character icon. This ended the turn. The character with the special power died. I still don't know how to activate powers.

Logged into the game today and noticed the have time limited quests.

That are tied to heroes you can only get from the Gacha.

Shameless.

Also I didn't even realize until today that unlike a lot of Gacha games your max stamina never increases.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #39 on:** February 24, 2017, 09:57:45 AM »

Definitely got some fun out of the game, but it reaches a point where anything that isn't a 5 star hero is useless, regardless of level. That's when I dipped out.

archie4208 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 24, 2017, 10:08:49 AM »

I'm basically done. My main team is mostly level 40, and I've got 43 orbs with nothing I care to roll for.

It was fun while it lasted.

Boredfrom · « **Reply #41 on:** June 13, 2017, 10:04:46 PM »

The gacha system is still so horrible that even pulling a two 5 star heroes in a row feels dirty (specifically because is the same limited event character at the last day).

bluemax · « **Reply #42 on:** June 14, 2017, 12:38:23 AM »

Leveling up is so fucking painful that it killed my interest in doing anything else. Most Gacha games have mechanisms for speed levelling new characters, this game just has you grind the same boring maps over and over again while hoping your shit tier units don't die.

And yeah, anything under 5 stars is trash.

The lack of variety is what really makes it get old faster than something like Brave Exvius.
