The only good part about it is that I can give all the love votes i've been gathering to Alstroe Maria

IMO, they decided to change that after the midpoint results, where they saw the number of votes and decided it wasn't worth the effort.

Well, they always can make it like the quaranteed 6* gatcha we had not so long ago... "5k Nutaku gold and 1 of them will be yours!"

OK, looks like my votes're all going Mint then. And I bet any Whale that paid cash to get their girl in is going to be pretty salty at the moment.

My bet is that DMM decided to shell itself just in case. They are fine with Japan's playerbase, so they decided to "protect" them like a paranoid mother at the expense of the rest of the globe, since it doesn't give them money.

I think that due to "exclusivities" not being hard to eliminate. It's just as easy as releasing Nutaku's version in DMM too. And not giving Nutaku developing rights and using them as a tool to do " worlwide popularity pools" or whatever with DMM supervision would allow no discrepances. With a little will and coordination from both companies, there would be absolutely no problem to do so.

So, they probably decided to hide the fact than any version other than DMM's exists, so their playerbase doesn't go to Butaku's version to fool aroun and potentially spend money they would have spent on their site otherwise. That's my guess, since it's the only thing they can't avoid, as the people would wonder where did those brides come from. A bit childish fear in my opinion, since they would need to change their japanese IPs to non japanese ones to play it in Nutaku. That, and having to synchronice with Nutaku so noone releases them early.

Either that, or Nutaku negotiated trying to have exclusives. While i think the right way to negotiate would be, Nutaku is able to offer the same kind of events as DMM version, consequences included so the player experience is the same, and DMM in exchange would get free units and DMM would always have all of the Nutaku's content + more as new content generated here would be released there.

Anyway, we will never know the truth. Nor how did they negotiate, nor why did they backpedaled so suddenly (sound like a higher-up saying nope when he got the new, comapanies don't backpedal so easily without the bosses getting involved, bosses be bosses ._.)

Oh, good old Nutaku's strategy, always blame japanese side, we dindu nuffin wrong, guys

Finally, we won only laugh, laugh ... ha ha HA HA


With NUTAKU feel as bad customer service

their (devs) flat loli waifu *cough* orchid *cough* wasn't first so they said fuck it you're getting nothing

My only complaint with the event is that you had to get 500+ tickets in order for Lechenaultia to join your team, I just didn't have the time to reach that amount of tickets.
(Between Flower Knight Girls and Kanpani Girls, I can only spend around 10 minutes to an hour each day playing them, and I've pretty much stopped playing Shooting Girls altogether).
100 tickets wouldn't have been that big of a deal, but I feel that the bare minimum was too high for this event, considering how little you were required to make for the previous ones.
To make matters worse, I've been having to use Mozilla to play Nutaku's games lately, which loads slowly for a lot of them, because my browser of choice tends to blue screen for some reason, so it takes several minutes longer than usual to get anything done. -_-

Regarding exclusive characters, it was for the gatcha, so odds are very high that you would probably not draw one of the reskinned versions anyway.
But assuming that we were to actually get a reskinned version, I don't see the huge deal, they could just release it for the Japanese users several months following, so instead of exclusive skins it would be early access, which is pretty much what they Japanese users are already getting.

500 tickets wasn't as easy as 7 medals on the current event, but in the same vein 24 medals is a lot easier than 4000 tickets. The last event was harder for everyone across the board.

Well "hard" may be the wrong word since it just took time, the Ultimate Map was as easy for Veterans as the Medal Events, they just had to run it more than once.
