Gosara, you seem to be missing the point that those who already have Cactace (6*) and would like the new Cactace Bride are screwed because they have to pay $110 when $50 of that they don't need or want (6* Cactace duplicate, the equip slot and possible skill up are NOT worth $50 for most people). The new version is locked behind the 6*'s already sizable paywall. It would have been more reasonable to either:
1) have the two as separate gacha options (possibly via $50 11 + ticket instead of step-up), or
2) not even put the Bride version in gacha until their proper event time

Either of the above would result in a lot fewer pissed off people

Nutaku FKG is building the image of a place to shell out huge chunks of money to get one girl.

Dmm FKG has already built the image of a place where every player is drowning in free stuff.

Hmmmmm.... What to choose....

I think you are missing the Points and you are closed in denial let me point you out some.

1.- The gacha was for the 6* Cactus, SAME as it was as Kerria and any other before with the step up gacha format, AND as a BONUS you COULD get the bride version, WHICH will be released till event 16 in a gacha with the others.

2.- As i pointed out Cactus gacha like any other before if you HAVE it alrdy you just pass and wait for the next guaranteed, if you want BRIDE VERSIONS and don't want to do the step gacha of Cactus is simple YOU WAIT like normally all would for the event when they will be released, is so damn hard to understand that?.

Bride versions arrive till event 16. This was a BONUS IF YOU WANTED as an extra this guaranteed is not of BRide cactus (that was a BONUS) the guaranteed was the 6* version, and according to you people who got already cactus and passed and wants the bride wait for the event thats all, same as we all do when theres a guaranteed of a girl WE ALRDY GOT, as simple as that.

The point is it's not a good deal. 2-3 months exclusivity isn't a reason to price gouge by doubling the price of the usual rainbow gacha, especially when said unit is weaker and supposed to be more common.

Stop saying it's okay for Nutaku to rip people off.

Honestly, I had to do a double take when I looked at the Cactace Gacha bride's price. What have they been smoking!? That kind of price for a gold on top of having to get past the rainbow Cactace (as an owner of cactace already) is atrocious. Not touching this with a barge pole, and quite glad to see many of you agree with me.

Nutaku can't be allowed to think this type of rip is acceptable. Many excellent alternatives have already been suggested on this thread, and I support them wholeheartedly.

Guys guys, come now, no need to be at each others throats. I can see what Gosara means, now that he explained it more properly.
Its a normal Step Up Gachar with 6* Cactus. AND if you want to, THEN and only then you go for the Bride version.
Rather than b*tchin and moanin about how the bride is locked behind a paywall, you should be thinking that you can get a 6* Cactus as a step up, and the Bride is only for those who have bunch of money and nothing else to throw it at.
If this was advertised differently like "Step up Gacha - Get your 6* Knight Cactus" with big letters and only once you get the step for her, you get an unlock for the bride - then I think lot of the negativity and hatred would not present.

Now that does not change nothing about the fact that the bride version by her lonesome costs 50 bucks, which jumps up the price of the whole thing by almost a half, BUT you do NOT have to go for her. If Cactus is all you want, you do NOT have to proceed to the last step to get the bride version.

I for one do not have Cactus, but since I dont really care for her that much as to buy her with money, this Gacha is as non-interesting to me as to those who actually own her. Its not like EVERYONE who doesnt have Cactus will jump automatically just to get her.
With that being said - 50 buck for a gold version is ridiculous. I am sure if it was like 20, they would see many more purchases. Again this is the payment strategy which I was talking about some time ago - Sometimes Less means more in the long run.

Nah, you should've seen the shitstorm and subsequent excuses people pulled in the Discord chat the other day. Stuff like:

"It's only $50 for a gold!" (already explained that it's essentially $110 and the gold shouldn't be more expensive than the rainbow)

"I pay $300 in other Nutaku games, $110 is a bargain!" (I don't even know who in their right mind thought this was a legitimate excuse)

And then the whole thing about trying to reverse the argument on me by saying it was bad that I whaled prior to the rainbow gachas because I could've demanded better rates instead (the slice gacha was basically a one-time thing that I didn't even have good luck in, and it's unlikely that our rates would regularly be that much better than DMM's anyway).

So yeah, we've actually been at each other's throats for a few days already. And still no Nameless in sight to quell the complaints.

Bride Cactace is not exclusive to this gacha right? How can she be obtained later? Will she just be added to the regular premium gacha pool?

Apparently there's a 'bride event' or at least a 'bride gacha' where they'll be made available. Even Bride Cactace.

Actually yes Cactus, Camellia and Orchid bride versions belongs to the event 16 so they will be in the gacha, right now we are in the event 11 i think so 5 more events. Thats why i said to many blah blah blah over a Bonus girl when she wasn't the main girl in the step up.

Oh sure, it's not like Bride Cactace's artwork is displayed on the advertisement or anything as the main draw for this step-up gatcha. And it's not like Cactace herself was already in a previous rainbow ticket deal awhile back (she as, in case you can't detect sarcasm).

Face it, the Bride Cactace is as much of a "Bonus" as the meat in a Meat Bun.

Just eat the Bun. The meat is a bonus. Totally. We're just selling you the bun. The meat is a bonus topping, just pay twice the amount you'd usually pay for a meat bun.

Don't be fooled by Nutaku. This Step-Up had every intention of making Bride Cactace the main goddamn draw of the deal. Don't just eat up any "buzzword" Nutaku throws at you. Whether or not Bride Cactace is a "bonus" or not, this is a bad deal enough simply because it alienates a certain subset of customers who would otherwise want Bride Cactace, but are "unfortunate" enough to already own original Cactace. Don't they want more money?

Like I said, wait until the Orchid Bride Step-Up when they introduced 6* Bride Orchid as a $60 bonus only after spending $50 on buying the normal 5* Orchid. I'd like to see you justify Nutaku's actions then.
