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.
