Re: What's the best and worst thing about each gacha you play? from r/gachagaming
I thought it's interesting, so here's my answer about the gacha games I'm currently playing.
[p] = pros (best), [c] = cons (worst)
Touken Ranbu:
- [p] I like resources management game.
- [p] The game is pretty barebones in story. Anywhere else, that might be bad, but here, that's one of its strengths that allowed it go on for almost 10 years now. The game is a blank canvas for players and other media mix projects to play with the setting, characters, and history. Each players' and media's interpretation of their own citadels are all valid. Not to mention the cultural impact it had in Japan, allowing sword smiths, museums, and cities to prosper.
- [c] Old PPT game, though they added QoL over the years, thankfully. There's even auto now!! Back in my day you don't have all of that-
- [c] The gacha can be pretty painful.
- [c] GRINDY AS HELL.
Girls' Frontline:
- [p] In an interview back in 5th anniversary, Yuzhong stated what MICA's writing philosophy is like - "every line must deliver information and serve a purpose, to guarantee the density of information to keep readers stimulated and enganged" - and I really appreciate it. It really shows in their stories. Major events (main story events) can be very long, rivaling Arknights' infamous novel length, and yet they don't feel unnecessarily dragged out, boring, or convoluted.
- [p] Great music courtesy of Vanguard Sound.
- [p] The protagonist, the Commander, is a character on their own. The evolution from a silent newbie protagonist to a hardened war veteran speaking by themselves is amazing.
- [p] I think it has a nice balance between fanservice and cool stuff (such as tacticool).
- [p] I like resources management game.
- [p] The gacha is generous, even better with anchored construction (pity) now.
- [c] It's an old game, so some things seem out of date.
- [c] Grindy. Bless the QoL that came over the years.
Girls' Frontline 2:
- [p] Quick dailies.
- [p] Great 3D models.
- [p] Great optimization, at least in my experience. I'm amazed it runs so well in my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2020 and Samsung A32. These are weak devices.
- [p] The protagonist, the Commander, is a character on their own. Even fully-voiced and shown in cutscenes!! I especially love the female commander's deep voice.
- [c] The early story is pretty weak, but I guess that's normal for a new game. At least the story and events are fully-voiced, pretty rare in gacha games.
- [c] This isn't exactly the game's fault, but rather, MICA's decision. I dislike that the first event started on the release day, and it's a major event to boot, so it has a longer story and more content. I wish it started later, at least a week later, to let players progress the game in their own pace/in much slower pace.
- [c] In relation to the above (and made the situation worse), the farming stages only open after you finish all story stages. There are 3 tickets replenished each day, but only a maximum of 6 tickets can be held. GFL 1 did this too, but it had since changed, so it's baffling to me that they kept it here. I heard it changed in CN later on, at least.
Neural Cloud:
- [p] Optimized very well, runs smoothly.
- [p] Great story and characters.
- [p] Great artworks. Characters have free L2D as their level and stars progress (except those given for free).
- [p] When certain characters are set as assistant, the option to toggle background on and off is available, even for L2D! I love that. Arknights need this, I swear.
- [p] Nice character progression. Rarity doesn't really matter in the end since they all can become 5⭐.
- [p] Relatively generous gacha, unless you're absolutely unlucky.
- [p] Relatively quick dailies.
- [c] I don't really like some game modes nor do I care.
- [c] Lack of male characters. I know, this game is part of GFL (despite dropping the "GFL" moniker most of the times) and the usual "male characters don't sell" and such, you don't have to tell me.
- [c] Skins are paid only.
- [c] Perhaps the end of the game is drawing near, though it did close arc 1. I heard CN is pretty much dead with barely any news, while global servers are rushing major events. The latest event in EN came out with MTL (which they apologized for and promised to fix later), which doesn't inspire confidence. I suspect MICA spread themselves too thin for GFL 1 (global servers rushing the last major events) and GFL 2 (game release).
Arknights:
- [p] Character progression.
- [p] Even F2P can get skins.
- [p] Great artworks, mostly.
- [p] I actually really enjoy co-op events like Icebreaker Games, though I dislike the football game.
- [?] Perhaps a hot take, but the music can be a hit or miss for me.
- [?] The gameplay and game mechanics can be a bit frustrating at times, but it can also be fun.
- [c] No sweep.
- [c] I've come to not care about some game modes, like SSS, Reclamation Algorithm 2 (got a bit addicted then got burned out), and even Integrated Strategies (got addicted for a long time then got burned out). I'm just tired at this point, I guess. At least they're permanent so I can do them later, though I'd be losing on some monthly missions and whatnot.
- [c] The writing of the stories. We all know what's the deal now, no more need to be said. It's a shame since the lore and narrative can be pretty interesting, but the execution makes it hard for me to care about the story and characters.
- [c] In relation to the above...SilverAsh is one of my absolute favorites, so I read "Break the Ice" event, and I can't say I like the writing. It's not too convoluted and there's some nice humor, but...ugh.
- [c] Need more 6⭐ male operators, especially a defender. Please. No more guards.
Shining Nikki:
- [p] Amazing details in outfits.
- [p] Great art for 2D artworks and characters.
- [p] The story is no slouch and the characters are great.
- [c] The optimization has improved, but it still can be better.
- [c] No story skip in events.
- [c] Papergames can be greedy. MR (a step above UR) is the worst culmination of that.
- [c] Rushing URs and MRs AGAIN.
- [c] Lack of lolita outfits.
- [c] The recolor system sucks. Life Makeover is better, but Infinity Nikki is even worse.
- [c] There are some frankly unncessary additions to the game, like baby Nikki.
- [c] Where's my Devil Lilih rerun??? 😭😭😭
Infinity Nikki:
- [p] The world is fun to explore.
- [p] Dailies can be very quick.
- [p] The gacha for 4⭐ is great (guaranteed 1 piece every 5 pulls).
- [p] So far, Papergames/Infold has been very receptive to players' demands and have added/planning to add requested features/fixes.
- [?] I feel like 5⭐ outfits look less stellar than UR outfits in Shining Nikki, but I also understand why as this is an open-world game, so you can't get too wild.
- [c] Long start-up loading time.
- [c] The story leaves much to be desired for now.
- [c] No gliding except in one area.
- [c] The optimization SUCKS AS HELL.
- [c] The recolor system sucks.
- [c] Need a way to track chests and Dew of Inspiration in-game.
- [c] I hate the Whimstars where I need to parkour within a time limit, especially the ones on pink clouds, with every fiber of my being. I avoid them now.
- [c] The dungeons/realms don't have save points. I understand why, but it can really suck when you get kicked out of the game due to server error and had to start all over again. Happened to me twice when I was so close to the end goal.

Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium Roundup
Because I was too lazy and busy (playing the game and "Infinity Nikki") to post about it more on my social media, here's a roundup of my activities, some thoughts so far, and gacha rolls after a week of playing! From the newest. Not a comprehensive review.
First of all...
(2024-12-08)
I FINALLY GAVE IN AND SPLURGED FOR VEPLEY'S "SUMMER ECHO" COSTUME!!! I love it so much, she's so cute, the outfit is cute, and I got to see the fabled animation in-game!! 🥰💕 I thought of this when I first saw it long ago, but, I love how it's a summer outfit that isn't sexy. In a neat detail, there's a small bear on her thigh, which is really cute!! Though I also feel kinda bad to see it strapped and suffocated like that. 😂
Honestly, I was torn between buying that or her idol costume (which is cheaper), but I ended up settling for her summer costume instead because it has more features. I'll get her idol costume too someday!!
GACHA SUMMARY (provided by Exilium.moe)

(2024-12-06)
I FINALLY GOT SUOMI!!! WELCOME HOME!!
In 70 rolls, she's the 66th...so I basically hit soft pity and won 50/50. Nice!! Funnily enough, I got her gun (Suomi the gun) early on, like in the 10th roll. 😂 Glad the real girl came home, too. I almost lost hope, not gonna lie.
(2024-12-04)
I GOT MOSIN-NAGANT FROM THE STANDARD GACHA BANNER!! YAY!!! \o/ My wish was granted so quickly omg. God bless. 🥺🙏 I got her in my first 10 rolls (she's 9th)!! Omg!! Lucky!!
Also, I finally installed the game on laptop and even tried it out!! Of course the graphics looks so much better than phone or tablet, but...for some reason, it lags a bit even with the lowest settings, compared to my phone and tablet that very rarely lag to that extend (and when it actually lags for an extended period of time, it's due to bad internet lol).
(2024-12-03)
AFTER YEARS OF WAITING, TODAY IS FINALLY THE DAY GFL 2 IS RELEASED!!!!
I opened the game a few minutes early in preparation, but to my surprise, I LOGGED IN AND GOT INTO THE GAME?!?! Turns out the server opened a few minutes early!! OMG AGHSDGHFHJSDFJK WHAT A GODLY TIMING. LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!
In the beginner gacha banner (with discounted pulls and guaranteed one SSR), I got Sabrina in 50 rolls. Oof. I'd have loved Mosin-Nagant, but oh well, I can take this.
I played this game for many hours ever since it got released. Like almost half a day or so (until technically tomorrow). Not only because I was so excited after waiting for so long and had to play it a lot, I also want to get Vepley (my favorite) ASAP. She's free from beginner missions/rewards, so I had to speedrun the game quite a bit in order to get her. So it took quite a while - I only FINALLY reached level 20 and got her at ~04:00 AM lmao. There goes my sleep. I was so tired in the end, but it's worth it.
Seriously, how did people speedrun it so quickly...?? I wish I'm as powerful as them. I also skipped story in order to speedrun, but I'm still slower (very much so) compared to them.
Some other thoughts so far:
- I already knew this and admired them, but as expected, the 3D models are great!! I'm so happy to finally be able to see it in-game myself. 🥺🥺🥺
- I heard of it before so I somewhat expected this, but much to my relief and astonishment, the game is indeed very well-optimized!! At least on Android - it runs well on my potato phone and even tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, very potato!!) with barely any issues or lags!! Though of course, the graphics have to be lowered I'll have to download it on PC/laptop to see its greatness in more detail.
- The UI is nice and clean, blocky and modern - fitting for the game. The only problem is...where's the mailbox?? I checked the Discord server. Turns out it's the freaking Dinergate on the main screen LMAO. Now that I looked at it, there's a small red dot hovering on it. It's so unintuitive that A LOT of people had problems searching for it. 😂 It's more obvious if the main screen background is different, though. Also, the icons might be a tad bit too small, since my friend asked me where we can check for friends. 😂
- The gameplay...I have no comment or issues with it so far. Honestly, I've never played this kind of game before, but I'm willing to learn it just for this franchise I've come to love very much.

Fan Intro #meme in Blorbo Social
1. Currently active fandoms...Holostars, Arknights, and Girls' Frontline franchise....Holostars, Arknights, and Girls' Frontline franchise.
2. Top 3 notable blorbos of all time...Kishido Temma (Holostars), Yamanbagiri Kunihiro (Touken Ranbu), and Kotoko Iwanaga (In/Spectre). By the way, I have a blorbos page in my website!

3. Yes! Current top 2 ships...all/Yamanbagiri Kunihiro (Touken Ranbu) and all/Doctor (Arknights). 3rd varies depending on my mood, but I guess I'll put all/Natsuki Subaru (Re: Zero) since season 3 made me feel things again. My favorite ships (just like my blorbos) are never forgotten, just dormant until awakened again.
...Do you see the pattern? By the way, I want to make a web page listing all my notable ships someday.
4. Harem/marry them all, time travel (especially time loop, set right what once went wrong), screw destiny.
5. Occasional drawer and writer, but probably mainly a lurker. I mostly chill in my own little corner. I also joined challenges and events (even as an admin/mod) a few times.
6. Honestly, I haven't been reading a lot of fanfics in the last few years, but... I'll never get tired of "As N Approaches Infinity", a very long and epic Bleach x Puella Magi Madoka Magica crossover. Somehow, the two worlds clashed very well and the story is very intriguing.

7. If I have to choose 1 in recent times, maybe...this drawing of Doctor being surrounded (ala harem romantic-comedy) by multiple operators. :blobcatnomplant:

8. This animatic of Simo (Neural Cloud)! It's great and on point for the character.

9. There are plenty of nice fan interactions over the years, but one of the most notable in recent memory had to be when I suddenly got a DM about my longest fanfic (and one I'm most proud of) that's been on hiatus for 2+ years at the time. They thanked me for writing it and that it helped them to learn how to love themselves. This is especially touching since the story is exactly about that, so the message was conveyed. It's like the highest honor a creator can receive. 🥺💕 I also mainly wrote it for myself, so it's a pleasant surprise to see such praise and love from someone else. It's been 2 years, but I still remember it fondly even now. Sorry I still haven't continued/rewrote it, though...😅
10. Being able to share and talk about what I love with others, and find someone else who likes the same thing - it's fun and delightful. But even without shared interests, I love to see people unleashing their creativity and passion purely out of love. Their joy and passion are contagious.Fold

Reverse: 1999 Roundup
I once again got way too lazy to post anything about this game on my social media, so here's a roundup of my gacha rolls so far from the newest, taken from my journal. This will be the second and last roundup (for now?) as I'm quitting the game. For real.
Ever since version 2.0 started, I hadn't played the game. For a while now, I've been feeling dissatisfied with the game's lack of husbandos (again) and other gameplay/game modes stuff. The new versions also don't really interest me. I've been losing the drive to play the game at all to the point of actually not playing it, so I once again considered to quit the game. To make matters worse, 2.0 banners got switched so I had to wait longer for J and the duration is shorter. As someone who had waited for him, it feels a bit insulting, and I've just had enough. J made me keep playing the game longer (after I wanted to quit after getting Getian) and now, I quit the game after getting him. Maybe I'll come back if something new piqued my interest, who knows.
My gacha history of 5⭐ and 6⭐ in limited banners from Kornblume summon tracker (it should be more or less correct):

My gacha history of 5⭐ and 6⭐ in Lucy's banner from Kornblume summon tracker:
Summary:
(2024-11-22)
FINALLY, J is here, so I logged in and rolled for him. WELCOME HOME, J!!! Plus a Pickles lol. He sure loves me, huh? Anyway, 90 rolls is a bit painful, but thankfully, it's not a big deal here. What matters is that I got him!!
(2024-10-22)
After calculating how many rolls I have, I decided to roll for Lucy again after the initial 30 rolls. AND I GOT LUCY IN 100 ROLLS IN TOTAL!!! YAY!! \o/ Also got a new and wild Lilya in like, 50 rolls lol. Very nice.
(2024-08-16)
I'm lacking in green/plants units so I decided to roll for Vila (I probably should've rolled Marcus too but lol). Because why not. If I lose 50/50, I'll be guaranteed to get Joe and that'd be nice, so I don't mind either way. Ended up getting both Avgust and Vila in 30 rolls. OMG. Welcome home!! I'm happy, but, I can't believe I won 50/50 again...I'm scared of what will happen when Joe comes lol. 😅
(2024-07-13)
I didn't plan to pull for Isolde initially but I came to REALLY love how she looks (her aesthetics), especially her dress. Her story seems interesting, too. Also, I like this one video, it's so beautifully surreal and I need more of that (though I doubt getting her would grant that, it's like drip marketing (?)). What should I do...? I'm torn.
After asking r/Reverse1999 and looking at future patches and meta, I decided to roll cause why not; I have 200+ rolls anyway. I might lose 50/50, anyway.
GOT HER IN 40 ROLLS OMG. WELCOME HOME, ISOLDE AND NECROLOGIST!!
