Thread: Sengoku Providence announced!

I don't know what's more surprising, the fact that Nutaku (or SuperHippo, who are apparently the ones managing this) expects people to spend $25/$50 on a pre-registration gatcha to get additional slots and chances for 5* characters as well as unlock the 2x/Auto Battle features (which should be free for everyone) for a game that (most, unless you've played the Japanese version) haven't played yet, or that there are some people who are actually willing to pay it.

I really love the art in this game, but the way the pre-registration gatcha is being handled kind of turns me off completely from the game. I bet the odds of F2P people pulling a 5* character on the initial gatcha/slot is ridiculously low too. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a 0.5% chance, but don't worry! Pay $50 and the chance increases to 50%! Pre-registration gatcha are supposed to encourage positivity and excitement for the game, this is doing quite the opposite. I hope there are a lot of whales out there, as they will likely be the only ones playing this.

I'll continue to do the free pre-registration gatcha rolls (for as long as I can), but if I fail to get a 5* I'll just pass on the game entirely. I know, given how the game is already shaping up, that this is likely my best chance of getting a 5* (without paying), so if I don't manage here, it'll be a long road ahead for me. In the Japanese version, apparently they have a 5* guarantee if you do a 10+1. I bet that won't transition to the English release.

I guess I'll stick with Flower Knight Girl.

Edit:

I just read this on their Facebook page. A comment from the developer or, at least, the one handling the English release.

"Again please wait for the game before making assumptions, the paid slots created during preregistration were made because players complained during DMM preregistration that it was difficult to decide which Senki to keep. Making them free in pre-registration would not have been fair for players going directly in the game.
We consider fair to add these features in this purchase. Again you are ock these features making a purchse and you also get the items you buy."

How thoughtful of them! They heard our pleas/complaints about being unable to choose between our two freshly-pulled 5* waifu, that they selflessly offered the $25/$50 paid in-game option, just so we wouldn't have to make that life-or-death decision. In addition, they lowered the rate of standard 5* pulls, unless we paid the premium fee, just so the F2P customers wouldn't be caught in the horrible situation of having a first and second 5* pulled, and no way to keep both (only having one slot available). They couldn't offer the second and third slots for free to all pre-registration customers, since that wouldn't "be fair". However, giving you the option to have this available if you opt to use your credit card? Yes, that they can do!

Thank you, SuperHippo. Thank you. We really appreciate you guys looking after your customers and the difficult decisions we could potentially have to make.
