I'm sorry but... it's been on my mind for way too long and I need to get it out...

There's also a ton of posts online with birthday wishes and stuff... Like, what's the poing in all these birthdays of characters that don't even exist?

I'm seeing this shit even in SF6 out of all games. I just don't get this stupid and pointless trend

Just a chance for marketing and posting fanart. It's not that deep.

Oh I didn’t know this was a thing , but I got an achievement for having the same character work in the video store for 7 days in a row.

I got that one way back when the game launched. Sorry Heddy.

Speaking of that, you should see what the CN fans did for Furina's birthday, lol. These birthday events are a serious deal among dedicated gacha fandoms.

I mean, I know how it feels to be a fan of someone, but I didn't go that far

More power to them if they can afford it

Let me tell you this, the CN fanbase is very passionate (and protective) when it comes to their gacha waifus.

Great i can't even finish Shiyu. My Electro team is struggelling.

I know this might sound strange, and I could be just wrong (I'm still relatively new to the game), but I wish there were more reasons to do combat with your characters in ZZZ. I know there are several endgame modes, but they are either one and done, or require a lot of sweat and skill and meta characters. What I mean by this is that once you clear Shiyu defense for the week, do the Hollow Zero weekly bounties, that's it - other than the two really hard modes - Assault and Tower stuff. I loved clearing Hollow Zero over and over to rise my license pass, but now that I reached a limit there, it's either do something really hard, or do some super-easy grinding for a few minutes until my stamina runs out.

Am I looking at it wrong? I know in Gachas people want to be able to do everything in just 15 minutes daily and that's it - but what if I actually want to play for an hour each evening?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

You can do lost void instead since it has a bunch of missions for raising the exploration medal level.
Hollow zero also has a couple hidden commissions that only unlock after finding the hidden lost items, which spawn randomly.

The reality is that they don't want to overwhelm players, and a lot of the players for this game also play their other games, so they really don't want to make people start quitting due to time constraints.

Lost Void is kinda your answer to this, but it's still limited in scope until they add more featured characters. Just chalk it up to being a downside of "gacha" style games.

Also trust me, no matter how much you want to play now, you'll eventually hit a point where you'll be happy to be in and out in 10 mins.

See, this is what confuses me. If you can’t wait to get out of a game, why play it? It’s not a job or anything.

Then again, I never understood obsession with dailies in WoW while I played it.

Anyway, I would just like to have something to farm sometimes I feel like playing the game for longer. And there are stuff you can do, I guess, but the stamina system is so limiting. And yes, I know, it’s a staple of gacha games.

Pejo probably meant specifically some or all of the endgame modes, not the main story content.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Yanagi - Seth - Astra didn't work?

Works like a charm for me...

 

[Pejo]

Yep, specifically meant "endgame" or "farm mode" stuff, the event and new story content is engaging enough to keep playing on its own.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Damn that’s rough.

Not to rub it in but I literally walked through it again. Seemed easy. My best electric character is Haramusa, who everyone should have. No Yanagi or Quingyi (spelled?)

What’s your teams/builds?


Edit
@aevanho
Have you tried messing with intensity levels in withering garden or other game modes? Also trying different team combinations to collect all the various resonia cards can net you some extra primos. There’s achievements for doing mono element clears, among others that give a bit a replay value.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Also perpetrator battle will go live in a few hours, should be harder than lost void but not endless tower level.

I did, I finished the garden at maximum intensity with Evelyn, Miyabi and Astra (I know it’s a silly team but I was like - what happens if I put two top dps in a team for fun and I wanted to compare them).

I still have some content to go through, but agent stories don’t let me play with my own characters for example.

Again, all this is not a big complaint, just that I would like more farming content in the game. Still, I have things to do - it’s more like I’m expecting a drought and the fact you can do new story stuff and events that every patch brings in one day makes me worried a bit. I really like the game, so I hope there’s something to do in it.

It worked out later, even if it was pretty close. 3min 33 sec. Electro side.. Qingyi i do not have. Rina i just did build yesterday. Builds the ones that are suggested on Prydwen.

Team1: Astra, Miyabi and Burnice

Team2: Yanagi, Seth and Rina

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Very strange cuz it worked for me for the last few SD. You probably haven't invested in the charcters in the right way, don't have good S rank discs with good substats, all skills unlocked, lvld up to the max etc. Idk how else to explain this tbh.

None of my characters have discs with good substats, just serviceable. Doesn't your Yanagi have her engine?

 

[aevanhoe]

That must be the reason, because I don’t even have an electric team, I brute-forced an S rating with Evelyn + Astra + Koleda on the electric side and Miyabi on the other.

You don't have to use the enemy weakness as your main dps, just use whatever they aren't resistant against if you can get more damage out of it.
I literally did all of shiyu with team one jane/seth/astra and team two miyabi/lighter/lucy.
In my best run jane/seth beat their side of shiyu 6 in 2m 20s, the miyabi team is always around 1 minute, so as long as I don't reach 4 minutes with team one it's an easy S rank.
Jane and seth are very synergistic but even more so paired with astra.

I'll have to give it a try. My Seth has been stuck to Yanagi until now.

You play seth more eficiently and faster than I do.

Damn, Nicole still pulling her weight even in Deadly Assault. She out scored Zhu lmfao.

25995 for Notorious Dead End Butcher

Marionette was easy with Miyabi, but I’m still only 1 star on Typhon Destroyer lol Haramusa is my best electric character and he’s not fully built. Oh well.
Silver Anby soon
