So what do you think, potentially how many story and content updates the game will get, how fast / often an all that based on how they did it with Genshin and Star Rail? I mean, there's also Genshin and Star Rail they need to worry about so... Just how big miHoYo actually is in terms of teams and how many of them they have? It's hard to imagine that just one team is mantaining 3 huge games.
I can't say what their plans are for ZZZ, but they do content updates every 3-4 months, look at the BP and when it ends as a good indicator. Then they'll drop random events throughout a season, some new some repeats throughout the year.
I see, well, let's hope that there'll be plenty of story content as well as events and other stuff to come in the comming years.
Welp, I just did the 50/50 soft pity on Ellen's banner and got Nekomata. I guess it could've been worse but this means bye bye Ellen...
Zhu is next in less than 2 weeks from now, save everything for her unless you want to get Miyabi.
It's better in a lot of ways than ATLUS's Persona games imho and yeah, I would've payed $70 if it had all of the content and characters at launch.

At least the S-rank agent guarantee carries over to the next limited banner. So, whichever S-rank agent they include in it, I'll def be grabbing.
Thanks, I thought a bit about it and came to the same logical conclusion. I'm 60 pulls away to guarantee her, and I kinda want her still in my team since she's the best at pure DPS according to prydwen's tier list. I also really like her design/character. Anyway, like you said, even if I don't get her in the next pulls, I'll still be building the pity for the next banner.
Unless the next limited banner character is a higher priority than Ellen, you might as well keep pulling when you get enough for a pull over the days. Since even if you don’t get her by doing that, you’re still building pity for the next banner. Good luck!
Not really sure when/if she'll come back, and if she does it will be after a long while, and who knows what the meta will be at that time. Like I replied to Doom85, I'll keep pulling in her limited banner till it expires since the pity carries over to the next character banner anyway (thank god for that).
I was thinking about the same before I got her. There's just no way I would've kept trying after spending 20 exclusive tapes (~80 in total), same goes for Zhu and everyone else next - if I don't get the new character after spending ~80 exclusive tapes, then that's the end of it.
Um, are you planning to get her when she'll come back or... nah?
Not sure about Zhu, but I'll def like to have Miyabi whenever she's added to the game.
If you like her, you should really go for her. Im not a big fan of her design because of the shark tail, even if everething else about her design is pretty great, but shes a real beast in combat especially against bosses. I have been doing those combat challenges in S rank pretty much thanks to her. Shes also runs very fast, and can shave some seconds in those time trials just by moving around with her.
Ellen is a beast in combat and her ultimate is amazballs when it comes to ICE damage when you'll use it on a downed enemy - you can wrek even the most tough enemies pretty easily, provided you can pair Ellen with the right agenst and stuff. I really hope you'll get her!
I haven't finished Chapter 2 and 3 yet, but something tells me that the first story and content update will be about Miyabi's faction and the new one which is still unknown, plus some of the already revealed new characters will be added to the permanetn channel - there's 2 empty slots in the game for characters already.
Yeah and Nicole is just not good in combat, so Zhu is the perfect alternative.
Nicole is a support characeter and will be very usefull when paired with Zhu Yuan, cuz Nicole increases Ether damage by 25% when paired with someone of the same faction or element. So running a team with Nicole and Zhu (same element), mean Zhu will be dealing an extra 25% Ether damage every time Nicole procs her Ether damage boost.
I don't mind putting some money in a F2P if I really enjoy it and I know I'll stick with it. The things I bought were the ones which provide the most value anyway, the BP and that daily polychrome membership. Ellen's banner lasts 10 more days and from the BP and membership I get 10 additional pulls for her banner, which as a pure F2P I would normally not get. If I pull her I'll be happy, if not, maybe I'll go for Zhu after all since
Aenima
made a great point about her being the first Ether DPS agent which will pair very nicely with Nicole.
If you think about it, from a game development point of view, it allows their content pipeline to run better as they don't need to waste resources and time on additional work like animated cutscenes with set pieces, etc.
But.... I don't really like to play as Nicole, that's the problem, plus there's Ether bangboos with buffs and such, so you can easily replace Nicole with them and not waste character slot on her.
True, but they do have time for the endgame stuff which is a lot better and it's not too difficult and time consuming since they already have everything in the game. It's just a matter of mixing things up right so that it won't become the same thing over and over with littler variety.
I mean, it's not that I hate it or don't like it, it's good in small portions, but when it's more than that it's just gets annoying over time, especially with those "make the right path through the level" kind of puzzles. Also, when you get to the good stuff in the game, it's just natural to gravitate towards it and not the stuff you don't like as much (if at all).
500K gold coins?
It's quite a fun mission where you get all sorts of power-ups to buff your gear coin gain while exploring the hollow. I wanted to S rank it so I had to waste a lot of coins for that; I think I've collected over 1M coins during that mission and it took me 45 minutes to complete it since I did a couple of missteps along the way lol. It's an exploration type of mission that shows up during chapter 2 intermission and before ranking up to Senior Proxy so you'll be getting to it soon enough.Yeah, such a nice touch which ads more personality to the characters
500K gold coins?
Daaaaaamn, I think I've seen like 5-6K per mission at best.
I haven't played the game today beyond doing daily check in and other stuff for free resources, as well as spending battery charge to get upgrades for future character level-ups - 4 of them are at level 30 for now and I can't go higher cuz it is locked behind higher proxy level or something else, same goes for skill upgrades.

You should know better then most that combat in these games always starts out brain dead easy, it’s not like Genshin was any different.
I’d like to see mash mash mash qte in the later levels of Shiyu Defense lol
Edit
Yes, Nicole’s entry has that Queen aura for days, I love it.
.
I got the werewolf S rank twice. Not my type of character.
But that's potentially 180 tries and who knows how many more after that, man. You are better off unlocking stable more S/A rank characters with 15% chance, but of course nothing can save you from duplicates.
You'll eventually unlock even harder difficulty with more stronger 30 lvl enemies in the prologe, probably 35 lvl in the second chapter and 45 in the third one, so you can replay the story with much stronger enemies.
Perfume fan artist?Can't argue with that.
Btw, the amount of fan art that's been out since the official release is wild. Really high quality stuff too!
Next limited banner is Zhu Yuan, and I think the one after that will be Jane Doe. At least that's my read on things since HoYo have recently started to drip feed info on her, Qingyi and Seth.
I haven't played their other games. But it feels like you get them very rarely in zzz. You should at least get something if you log in several days in a row or something similar.
If it takes 3 months I don't think I'll have the game installed by then
