<![CDATA[game balance?]]>game balance? what game balance?

the new character, Ange, that they've added to in today's v4.0 update is so busted apparently that the developers themselves said so in yesterday's live stream, and so broken that she makes all previous navigators that you have invested in (except maybe Futaba) completely obsolete. RIP Phoebe

they know exactly what they are doing

all future content will be balanced around her so you're probably fucked if you don't pull

ugh

also there's a new story character Phantom Thief which nobody will use because the story characters are all 4* units. kinda messed up that the actual characters the game is about are the worst units to use

I really like P5X but it's utterly compromised by gacha shit

That's why I purposefully ignore all of them.
I know I would get really hooked if I did try, so best to stay far away from these predatory games.
If I want to waste a ton of money on games, I'd like to to it on lots and lots of different ones instead of just one or two endless pits. 😉

Even in things like Record Keeper I hit a hard wall. I’m sure the Persona Phantom X game would be much the same

Is it absolute bullshit? Yes, and it sucks, but it makes sense. They get to profit from both sides.

It always seems to end up like this doesn’t it?
No matter the good intentions or generous starting balance, this whole thing is basically “screw you, give me more money”.

I hate it that some of the IPs that i love so dearly get thrown into the mix like this.
