From the News section:

How, precisely, will this gacha work? Will the winners be the only possibilities, or is it going to be a priority gacha with the same lame 0.5% chance to get a 6* as always? A priority gacha seems an insufficient response to revoking the original reward halfway through the event. This was an exceptional screw-up...the compensation should be equally exceptional.

At the start of the event:
Flower Knight Girl developers told Nutaku that they would get 3 new brides.
Nutaku told us that we would get 3 new brides.

Today:
Flower Knight Girl developers told Nutaku today that we would not get any new brides. (reasons unknown as of this time)
Nutaku is blamed, at least initially. We'll see how things progress from here, although being honest I sincerely doubt we'll ever know why they cancelled the whole thing. We'll probably just be compensated and be on our way.

Compensated with a new wonderfull gatcha lol !!

So happy...

Well the votes were already dumb enough to have orchid on second place, but everything can get worse lol, im just wondering how this special gacha will work, in my dreams i see a gacha that only gives you 1 girl random and the possibilities are the 3 winners of the contest, but hey, im just dreaming

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 ._.)
