In all fairness, its a 10+1 draw and a 5*

If you plan on spending for a 10+1 draw anyway this is a pretty good deal cause 10+1 draws are 50$ and you have another guaranteed 5* in the bargain. Personally, though, I don't value 10+1 draws that highly - had too many bad experiences where I got nothing but 3 and 4 star characters from them, so the only thing that gets me excited is Evening Primrose.

Honestly, they say:

Pick one out of the four 5* FK favored by the development team at a DISCOUNT.

... And so, where is the DISCOUNT? There is no DISCOUNT at all here, that's still 30€ for a 5*, the "standard" Nutaku price for them, even if there is an extra 10+1 Roll. Oh, and note in this regard, after almost 1 year, they still can't wrote a clear explanation about the Gatcha: there is no information about 1 or 10+1 Roll, not even in the IMPORTANT panel.

Anyway I don't understand how Nutaku set their prices. For them a 6* (60€) is only worth two 5* (30 €) while in Gatcha they are worth TWELVE 5*! (0.5% vs 6%).

You guys are really splitting hairs for no reason. It's pretty obviously a discount for the 11-roll, which, as stated, is $50 max. If you don't value an 11-roll at that price, that's fine. I don't blame you. We've all been burned by 11-rolls before.

But making complaints about Nutaku "gaming the rates" when these particular kinds of sales really aren't all that different from DMM's is getting old by this point.

Direct your complaints towards bad step-ups, not $30/$50 ticket gachas that are also usually ~5000 DMM points.

Technically it's around $42-43 per 5,000 DMM points according to currency exchange rates, with the first purchase receiving 500 DMM points for free. However, there is a constant stream of deals on DMM games, with additional opportunities from promotions and marketing events directly affecting the purchase of DMM points (you can receive free points in various ways). You always pay discount if you're a savvy customer and have no problems navigating your way through Japanese websites and social media.

Unfortunately, Nutaku does not have very many deals with their N Gold (they had only a couple of very limited time deals that I can remember); mostly their in-game purchases will have a form of discount.

Still a discount all the same. Besides, I'm not expecting Nutaku to take exchange rates to that degree into account. Plenty of companies already don't do that.

Well, after some nice Kamihime rolls this morning, I went ahead and did my roll here.

Got gold, but it was just a Scarlet Tulip dupe. Oh well, Evening Primrose get.

round 2 up, gonna go with Kerria from this selection.

This choice could be a player's favorite as well ^^

I guess we could reuse this thread.

Round 2 is Kerria, Dianthus, Alpinia (again?), and Cattleya.

I already have Dianthus and Alpinia, I don't care for Kerria, so that leaves me with Cattleya. I guess I could finish up the Cattleya household (ignoring Baccara), but with Kamihime coming soon, I'm not sure if I want to spend so quickly. I'll sleep on it, I guess.

She's neat, and it's pretty obvious why many players like her. Once you get her skill up a little and her special attack starts triggering more regularly, she'll keep fighting for a long time as well.
