Yeah interestingly this was one of the only places that English versions of the Sailor Moon movies from the 90s series.

So basically your argument is, if you don’t like the gameplay loop, they force you to pay? I’m not arguing that there are idiots out there who will spend their life savings on digital crop, but you are dramatically OVERselling the difficulty of upgrade requirements. Sure if you wanna play 8 hours a day you’re eventually gonna have to spend money, but. If you play for an hour or so each day, hit the events that are worth the time, do some daily/weekly dungeons as they are available, a little exploration and a little questing, and have any sense of “progress takes time”, the actual gameplay is fun enough to carry without spending money. If it isn’t, for you or someone else, then just don’t play?

Also, oversexualization of minors is a term that gets thrown around a LOT with this game and I just don’t see it, basically ever. The few characters that are actual children are dressed conservatively, act like children, are treated like children by other characters, there’s never inappropriate commentary about them… if you wanna offense to the anime-style art that makes everyone, including adults, cartoonist, that’s your opinion. It’s weird that a lot of people act like it’s a pervasive issue when it really doesn’t exist at all in the game.

What the fuck are you talking about. This is an insane take.

Dang there is a lot of hate for this game here, like it’s definitely not the best game ever but it is one of the most compelling mobile experiences out there, with a decent story that has some great moments, and it can absolutely be played completely for free without missing out on much. The only thing spending money is good for is specific characters and weapons, none of which are required, and you can absolutely save up from playing for free and get almost any of those characters/weapons without spending a dime.

It’s not for everyone but I feel like this game gets a lot of hate simply for the Chinese origin, cartoony style, and microtransactions without any actual knowledge of what it’s like to play it.
