I hope there is a decent weekend deal

Man, I’m glad I joined the game just in time to get twelve of my favorite 6* girls, and most of my favorite 5*s, back when prices were a bit more reasonable and weekly one-time gachas often led to guaranteed 6* ‘choose your gal’ tickets.

These new deals for the past six weeks or so have sssuuuuuccckkkkeeeeedddd

Welp here we go again folks. Another new code girl, another overpriced introduction gacha.

I imagine they must've had to pay a pretty penny to be able to directly sell an exclusive unit that is otherwise only available as a code from Japanese merchandise. It would explain why more "Exclusive Code" girls aren't behind released on Nutaku despite there being a dozen already by this point.
I've already given up hope on ever seeing the Nico Premium girls...

The pattern always seems to be to lock the code girls behind an initial paywall before reselling them directly, at a "cheaper" price half a year down the line.
Honestly, they should just sell the character directly the first time. I don't know why they still don't do that. I'd be willing to consider purchasing her directly for 4500 points, especially if there were some slight bonuses in the deal. But they do what they always did to "Exclusive" girls for the first time, put her behind a step-up paywall.

Such a shame. Sasayuki is one of my favorite JPN artists too

shame, I like how thicc she is LOL

TBH I don't understand the craze for code girls.
Their stats are major level bad. Even event girls are better than them.
Chance of maxing them is 0%. And even attempting is a waste of resources.
What are you all trying to achieve? Bragging rights? No one honestly should care if you have the character or not. Waifuism? Please go outside. Get a GF. Have a GF already? go see a movie, dinner, laser tag, it doesn't matter, spend the money on your SO.
At least 6* waifus are useful.

Poppy dislikes this.

But in all seriousness, it's a game whose focus is on collecting girls and playing various minigames with them. Why's it difficult to understand the appeal of a girl whose sole purpose is being collected? I've never seen anyone on these forums brag about which girls they have; the worst I've seen is people being excited about pulling a particular girl they wanted.

If the price wasn't so ridiculous I'd have likely purchased her. $20? Yeah, probably. $85? No way; I could do any number of other things to entertain myself for that amount and get more out of it than just another face in the collection.

dont put Aconite on a step-up deal like this Nutaku...

(they actually put her on a step-up deal weeks later)

Mum looks hot, but the price and the gacha is a BIG NOT

besides, if it was 6* guaranteed, then it might be a different story....
