As someone that joined 3 months late, it took me roughly 3 months to max out my account lvl just on time to take part in a tournament. This game has a lot to it. For me the best part are the characters. Their kits and designs are amazing
real the amount of backtracks I’ve done because clicking on the tile that is blocked isn’t accurate and I have to drag the character into it and sometimes it doesn’t even work
I was shocked at how good the music is; no wonder! The VA & story work are also extremely well done. I love the triangle strategy style branching paths.
My favorite game of the last 6 months, the story is awesome, the characters are so satisfying to play with, and I love that it’s family friendly enough for my younger brothers to enjoy (the lack of fanservice is one of the games main draws imo)
Blows my mind how little fanservice is in the game. It's actually got me viewing Hasna, the clearest representative of classic gacha game fanservice, as just being a normal character who happens to dress that way in the context of the world as opposed to being designed that way for the male audience. And I'm only considering this to be the case because there is essential no other fanservice anywhere else in the game telling me that it's just not a strategy that their company is using to increase sales or player retention. Massive respect for that and the fact that they've stuck to a more realistic art style in the depiction of all the characters and focused more on the quality of the gameplay and story above all else. It's just so refreshing to have a game with an anime leaning art style, that's also a gacha, that I don't have to cringe at opening in public. Love it.
Yep, Games still great, I have been keeping myself up to date and hopefully getting more content out for it as well. Its even better when your not trying to stress out on completing everything like I did on launch lol.
yep I've been playing for 6 months and I really enjoy the spiral of destiny mode 😊. ofc getting new character would help us so much during the story progress!
Well this is my 4th day playing this game, Night Crimson storyline has an interrsting plotline which reminds me of FFT and Tactics Ogre. As someone who is a big fan of tactical games (ie FFT, FFTA, FFTA2, Tactics Ogre) i definitely love it.
This game has a big tendency to get noticed by those in the chess world, and it will be a hit if it happened, one more thing this game lacks is an Endless Tower defence PVE mode where players need to survive through fighting endless waves of enemies while defending the Base, This is where we see Teadon and Momo shine the most.
530 hrs and counting. I didn't start on launch but the new characters always had me hooked. And I had an itch for ff tactics gameplay. So this game fills it. I have a love and hate for this kind of game. I like it but takes alot of grinding to get the lux. Eventually I will slow down . Since there are other games I want to play as well. But for now, this one of the few games where I spent this much time playing.
Great feedback. Gacha games can create a love hate relationship, but the way I look at it is how else would we get continuous content and regular updates on a schedule? 😁
@@Sol_7_Invictusyeah I hear you. I wouldn't mind if they just made sequels and released new story in several parts. Like what FF7 is doing. That way it can get console releases. Switch is great for these kind of games. But then again, for the devs there's probably higher revenue in gacha. I do hope they would consider releasing something similar on the side for console in the future. They already have story mode which is pretty much playable for free. So why not make that into a console port ? and throw in some extra content for replay value. Games like Octopath traveller , Triangle strategy were well received.
I agree with you and I think games like Black Myth Wukong, Octopath, and Metaphor have consistently shown a desire for a single player game with a simple story line mechanic. No elaborate multiplayer and no micro transactions. Just a game from start to finish.
Great game but still needs a lot of improvement, many tactical elements are not available in this game like rotating characters at the end of the turn.
Daily chore and gacha system is the one that strays me away from it on day 1, even though I like every other thing about it. Daily chore are a big no no.
100% agree, this game doesnt respect players time. It is so much grind esp events. If they want grind they should have it on difficult contents like TOA but not every event ffs. Plus the gacha is quite brutal at 180 pity not to mention it takes soo much time to earn luxites in game
I’d argue otherwise. Sincerely. So much content can be easily cleared with auto battles. Some of the games biggest content creators talk about how they simply auto everything to keep it simple. Instead of actively doing dailies, you simply sweep or… “deploy” or units to do it. All it requires is one manual completion. It’s pretty great. 😊
Thanks for making this video. We need more of these to bring more people into this beautifully crafted game. Altho the discord community have a lot of weirdos, it's still better than most other community out there lol
What do mean last? On Witch Season there clearly a Male main Character with the Bonus of a Pig + Female Character together. Right after them is Lufti another Male Character in the beginning of Inanna Alt Season.
Dropped it for good and wont ever come back like period! Technically speaking this game is more than well done for its genre - superb tactical battles, great music, story and art. Problem is it is hugely miss-managed by its owners and dev teams and sadly my prediction based on other good gatcha titles having treated this way that it is heading towards EoS. Quality of life is so poor that all the game good traits seem being wasted cause of sheer incompetence.
I think many people would have agreed with you 3 months ago. Today, they’d disagree. Tons of freebies, events, and QoL improvements. Free legendaries and skins down the line with many free summons around it. It’s a great time to play 😮💨
i'm actually pretty pessimistic with how they have half anniversary, somehow to me it means that they are not really doing well. i spent some dime but i think that wont be even enough to support the whole game (duh).
Well tbh, there have been tons of players leaving the game already months ago, my friendlist was 98 before and now 38 is the only active ones, the rest are inactive for months already. My guild barely has active members too. The game needs a lot of QOL tbh and they should remove the expiry for stamina and skip tickets, lol. The game has too much grind already.
one thing i wish the please fix the x2 speed issues....or even add x4 or 5 for subscription i dont care but fix that damned x2 speed ! i dont need to hold the screen all the time or spacebar in steam also we need more ways of getting more summon crystals , the rapid introduction of units is killing it , 2 units at same time or even 3 banners including 1 limited , its intense and game doesnt provide enough also it needs weekend event or monthly that does x2 shard farm or something and all other weap/tarot trials , good game overall but it falls down to the path of other gacha's games with not enough summons and more units each 2 or 3 weeks, not saying make all free but introduce more events and much more rewarding system / achivements it will make everyone happy and will attract players and it will keep them but FIX the x2 speed PLEASE good game overall but it could be legendary game if they do things correctly
I am a bit intimidated by the thought of missing one of the upcoming characters, but overall I feel the Luxite we get for free is generous. The 2x speed could be better I suppose. Maybe your comment will warrant a note from the creators and they’ll respond in kind lol
Agree, the game imo, doesnt feel generous. Sure the recent night crimson event etc have given some luxites and tickets but in game it takes sooo much time to get all the available luxites and it wont be enough with back to back to back meta units. It is one of the reason why a lot of people left the game already, i am holding out atm and will decide to continue or not depending on my gacha result during Tristan banner. I dont mind uninstalling since i still have another gacha.
The benefit of a Gacha game… consistent content. You won’t wait years for a dlc or a sequel. You’ll wait weeks for the next character or chapter. For that reason, I’m grateful it’s a Gacha game.
The thrill of getting cool units in a gacha where it pops nostalgia to players like me who played fft. Lol. And with devs greedy and stingy af early months before Night Crimson came lol

YES! Thank you Mistermooustacheo! As usual, you rock!
One thing I wish SOC can add down the road is the rotate view.
Yes! 😂
Same! only issue i have with the game but over time i got used to it
real the amount of backtracks I’ve done because clicking on the tile that is blocked isn’t accurate and I have to drag the character into it and sometimes it doesn’t even work
@@ughgowonsscalpandcrunchyvo4926 Pro tip, double tap the tile you want to move to if it is obscured by an object.
Thanks Sol for your hard work!
Thank you Ultimaga, I appreciate you!
I loved FF Tactics on PS One and it's exactly what drew me to Sword of Convallaria.
Same! Big time
Final fantasy tactics advanced for me 😊
I was shocked at how good the music is; no wonder! The VA & story work are also extremely well done. I love the triangle strategy style branching paths.
Yes! 🙌
Thanks as always SeapeaJones. I appreciate you
Very nice. Thank you for promoting the game I enjoy playing.
Thank you too for your support!
My favorite game of the last 6 months, the story is awesome, the characters are so satisfying to play with, and I love that it’s family friendly enough for my younger brothers to enjoy (the lack of fanservice is one of the games main draws imo)

Hey! Best of luck in your content creation. I appreciate your feedback and I’m glad to see you covering the game too!
Came for the Gacha addiction, stayed for the characters, got hooked up by Spiral of Destinies
Yes! 💯
yep I've been playing for 6 months and I really enjoy the spiral of destiny mode 😊. ofc getting new character would help us so much during the story progress!
Yes!!! 👏🏽 Thank you for your feedback! Getting new characters would definitely help. Fortunately you’ll be able to use Elysium characters in SoD

That's an interesting idea
I love the thought of this game appealing to chess players.
A horde survival mode would be amazing! Defend the gates/flag/zone would be a ton of fun
Good game for me, i have played it since 6 months ago, its user friendly even to free players...
Yes!! Agreed. Thank you for the feedback!
Such a great video. One of my favorite games in the last decade. I sent this to a few of my friends, and hope it entices them to play too!
Thank you! Hopefully it entices them!
This game is fantastic. One of my faves right now.
Yes! 👏🏽
loveee
Yes!
thanks sol

You are not wrong. That rotating camera 😭😭
Daily chore and gacha system is the one that strays me away from it on day 1, even though I like every other thing about it. Daily chore are a big no no.
You can always ignore the dailies. They’re only required as much as you want the items. Just like grinding for levels on a console game 😁
@@Sol_7_Invictus If its there, I need to do it. So, its better to just forget about it.
100% agree, this game doesnt respect players time. It is so much grind esp events. If they want grind they should have it on difficult contents like TOA but not every event ffs. Plus the gacha is quite brutal at 180 pity not to mention it takes soo much time to earn luxites in game

We need more of these to bring more people into this beautifully crafted game.
Altho the discord community have a lot of weirdos, it's still better than most other community out there lol
Haha weirdos are everywhere to be fair.
I mean the last male character is kvare, so quiting after him
Hold out! Surely more males are coming. The devs are listening.
What do mean last? On Witch Season there clearly a Male main Character with the Bonus of a Pig + Female Character together. Right after them is Lufti another Male Character in the beginning of Inanna Alt Season.
Technically last was Meteor Team, although being only 0,33 male 😂
@ Youi forgot about Lufti my man

It’s possible, but the events, celebrations, and freebies are pleasing their audience. It can only lead to positive growth for the game.
fft if unlocking characters costed $$ with greedy-ass devs
Nah, you can’t have everything for free. You get to download and play at no cost. Paying a little over time for continuous content sounds great to me
Cool video ❤ Totally agree
Thank you!
Thumbs up. This game gets alot of unreasonably bad press. Thinking back to before this expansion where everyone and their dog was saying EOS.
😁 where indeed.
Thanks for your comment!

@@gilpauloabracia Show me a game that didn't lose 80-90% of its players after launch, please.
Hype trains always die.
This game still remains magnificent
I really love this game, the gameplay itself, the art, the story. But I'm really afraid it won't survive, at least not in English :(
It's already been 6 months and based on the revenue so far and how niche this genre is it's doing well
Agree. I think we are on stable ground. Thinks seem good looking ahead!
It's a truly great game
Yes it is! :D
one thing i wish the please fix the x2 speed issues....or even add x4 or 5 for subscription i dont care but fix that damned x2 speed ! i dont need to hold the screen all the time or spacebar in steam
also we need more ways of getting more summon crystals , the rapid introduction of units is killing it , 2 units at same time or even 3 banners including 1 limited , its intense and game doesnt provide enough
also it needs weekend event or monthly that does x2 shard farm or something and all other weap/tarot trials ,
good game overall but it falls down to the path of other gacha's games with not enough summons and more units each 2 or 3 weeks, not saying make all free but introduce more events and much more rewarding system / achivements
it will make everyone happy and will attract players and it will keep them
but FIX the x2 speed PLEASE
good game overall but it could be legendary game if they do things correctly
I am a bit intimidated by the thought of missing one of the upcoming characters, but overall I feel the Luxite we get for free is generous.

#pants4inanna 😮😢
Eager for SP Inanna? 🫣
Great video. I low. This game!!
Thanks and yes this game rocks!
Now try Langriser
Okay… lol
Turn me off after first battle, the game is filled with those lolly waifu character
Haha Only 1 young girl that I can think of. Very modest and hardly any fan service throughout the whole game
yea and she is fully clothed unlike some other gacha
Gacha pull in this game is worse than any other gacha games. If you want to assemble best legendary team, get ready to sink $500+
Nah, it’s got a soft pity system at 2%. That’s double or better than other Gacha’s. It’s basically a legendary every 50 pulls.
Gacha game..NO
The benefit of a Gacha game… consistent content.
You won’t wait years for a dlc or a sequel. You’ll wait weeks for the next character or chapter. For that reason, I’m grateful it’s a Gacha game.
The thrill of getting cool units in a gacha where it pops nostalgia to players like me who played fft. Lol. And with devs greedy and stingy af early months before Night Crimson came lol
terrible video. 11minutes?! a promo @ 11 minutes?
It was made with love. Don’t you love it? 😍
