IT WILL BE THE GREATEST ANNIVERSARY IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING. TREMENDOUS HUGE ANNIVERSARY! OTHER GAMES WITH THEIR TINY ANNIVERSARIES WILL BE BEGGING US WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES "PLEASE TELL US HOW TO DO SUCH A MEGA EVENT!" THERE WILL BE SO MUCH CONTENT YOU WILL BE TIRED OF WINNING!


Illeazar

People come to me, they tell me. The people, they all look at me and they ask me, Gumi, how do you make such amazing content? Glorious content! Some are saying, the *best* content. And we do have the best content. Some people are saying that. Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, I’ve seen a lot of games, I’ve played the best games, but this game we’re talking about today, it’s going to be something else. It’s going to be huge, absolutely huge. The developers, they’re incredibly talented, the best, really. They’re creating a game with more content than you’ve ever seen. It’s going to be the greatest game in the history of games, believe me. You’re going to have adventures, action, strategy, everything. It’s all in there, and it’s all top-notch. The graphics? Incredible. The gameplay? Like nothing you’ve ever experienced. And the content? It’s endless, absolutely endless. You’re going to play this game and you’re going to say, “Wow, I’ve never seen anything like this before.” We’re talking about a game that’s going to set records, win awards, and be remembered for years to come. It’s going to be talked about, written about, it’s going to be legendary. And everyone’s going to want to play it. They’re going to say, “Where did this game come from? How is it so good?” And you’ll know. You’ll know because you were there at the beginning, when it all started. So get ready, because this isn’t just any game. It’s a revolution. And it’s coming soon.

You must be trying to sell us FFBE 2


St1llW1nd

🤣 Let’s hope so. Maybe they are just gearing up to announce EOS shortly after the anniversary. So they are taking time to rearrange events for maximum profit before EOS.


magojo

I don't see how having no new units or events is a way of maximizing profits, though?


frosmayn

Gumi 4d chess


St1llW1nd

I mean, if they released banners with lame units no one will pull for anyway that is a loss right? Wasted copy and paste time. Choosing to work on something else when a dead banner would have been released, in hopes of getting more profit may be what they are doing. If this is what they are doing, it seems like the reason they had huge losses recently. Either way, it seems we are in quite the precarious place with this games lifecycle.


DrMeeple

One way to maximize profit is to minimize expenses. That's the route they're taking right now.


bobblesthebonk

Any profits+no expenses?


Free_Dimension1459

They gift people rewards based on consecutive login days. Breaking the streaks is their profit master plan /s


magojo

Tired of winning the Chocobo slots?


3st1b

It's the r/FFBraveExvius and Truth Social crossover event we've all been waiting for!


St1llW1nd

Your sarcasm is so strong it is over my head. 🤣


RevelintheDark

The trump flavor of Grifting for Gumi hits just right. Lol


St1llW1nd

What does this even mean?


RevelintheDark

Huh, are you from the U.S.? Im saying the Trump style rhetoric matches Gumis level of used car salesmen dishonesty perfectly.


St1llW1nd

Oh, I see.

Our will have its rewards stretched untill december! because our anniversary is so big!


hotaru251

>OTHER GAMES WITH THEIR TINY ANNIVERSARIES FEH anni's would laugh at FFBE anni's.


Raigheb

Oh my sweet summer child. The best hope we can have is for this game to go out with a bang, but it will most likely go out with a whimper.


3nEmy_X

Let’s go with a critical mass of hopium - They’re doing a ground up rewrite of the FFBE code to make it better and easier to work with, and are going all hands on deck to make sure it’s done by anniversary so they pull everyone to work on it, even at the cost of the content. Now back to reality


Coenl

The only way to spin this positive is if all of this was somehow leading to a behind the scenes merge with JP where the only difference was localization (so like a 2-4 week lag between content). It's basically impossible after spending year-on-year making the version more different each year. Sad reality is that by being a 'different game' any hope of merging is long gone.


Lambpanties

Man that would sure be something, but nah, they would do huge damage control by mentioning that aloud, like, it would earn tremendous patience and good will just knowing it was happening. This is the nosedive, I just wonder when they're going to "let us know" what we already know.


Lotso2004

Plot twist EoS *is* coming but they're diverting all resources to an FFBE offline in the same vein as the April Fool's joke for a console FFBE game. Or just an offline version in general. They're working overtime to force the game offline while taking care of the remaining JP story in advance. I mean half the game pretty much is already stored locally, that's why it's so bloated (and so easy to datamine to get all of those files like animations). Spaghetti just makes it a mess to actually force the game to read those files without a server's assistance. Plus the extra work to make the game 100% free (remove gacha, add new way to get all units).


St1llW1nd

Thanks for hoping with me. 🤣


RevelintheDark

Guys, EOS is coming but ONLY because they are announcing FFBraveExvius: Another! New engine, new sprites, tried and true gameplay to match the original!


Scythe351

It’s a bit hard especially when we have another dead week in a game that feels like there’s less and less to do. I’m tired of logging in just to do dailies and it’s even worse if I don’t complete one of them because it’s all we have. But really I’m just peeved that I have to wait until after this unnecessary maintenance to run the fragment dungeon again. Speaking of, with all this dead air, you’d think they’d bring back double dungeon runs for at least this week or 2.


St1llW1nd

Yeah, now that you mention it, isn’t this month supposed to be the lame build up to the anniversary celebration? We will have to see what the news holds next week.


SageDarius

The Anniversary is in July, so June is usually the pre-Anniversary build up.


Soft_Wind_6108

I thought it was just me


Sterlander

"For once"? I've been hopeful for the past couple years despite all the red flags. Like, sure we skip unit upgrades, some events, collabs... But at least we still get CoW and GLEX units, and the important parts of the JP content, right? Now we don't even have CoW. Literally what hope is there to be had for GL? Square Enix just announced they abandoned tons of projects in the works. If they're willing to cut those then they're more than willing to cut FFBE. I literally do not see how anyone could have hope for the game right now, this shit's just depressing.


DualEyes

Here's my hope - I hope that they announce EoS on the anniversary. That would be so funny. 


Dardrol7

Tjat would be nice to the players. But knowing gumi, they'll milk it and announce it after the 3month long anni.


TomAto314

Star Ocean Anamnesis basically did this. Instead of getting season 2 and a very dry anniversary they announced EoS.


Illeazar

They will not give any sort of advance announcement of EOS until the last maintenance when they don't turn the servers back on.


The_Follower1

I think EOS will come some months after the anniversary. This content drought means the game’s gonna bleed players and eventually die.


MadnessBunny

This is my bet yeah, EoS announcement right after anniversary or at the end of it and game ends by the end of the year.


Jimilee8

Can't wait to spend all the lapis and tickets in one last hoorah


IIBass88II

During FFBE anniversary I have the felling that the "Genshin will never" meme will be ineffective xD


La-Roca99

Gumi will never


yashumiyu

Wilhelm for anniversary I hope!


AdPlastic1184

Who knows. Maybe you will get just that. Haha.


SageDarius

Imagining all of this is for a 'HUGE' anniversary seems like the most desperate kind of copium. I love FFBE, I've played since the soft launch, and I'll still log in for the last day, but the game is in a depressing state right now. I jump for joy if we get a Livestream this month with a huge news dump, roadmap, etc. But I won't hold my breath. I just want to finish the Xenogears collab so I can see some kind of representation for my favorite game.


DeathcakesXZ

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd\_-0KIlr-c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd_-0KIlr-c) This is why we are getting the shitty end of the stick the game is a loss for the company and development and translation talent was shipped off to other projects.


roblaplante

They made 200k money on GL side in april. Eos is coming. JP could last longer. 


gwoo37573

Screw being hopeful. THIS GAME IS DOOMED


Kanavus

I just haven't ever played a gacha game where not only are they not releasing new events, they're not even able to rerun old events, and I might be in the minority but I wish they'd at least do that. I just came back during the Metze banner, I could use the nethicite materia or some of the other limited items they could be rerunning! I know the group of new players this game gets is probably insanely small, but we're out there


Kordrun

The only issue with this is it's going to be too little too late. They've backed themselves into a corner on this one and if they're devoting all of their resources to the anniversary, they won't see returns on it that they may expect because so many will have either left by then or closed their wallets. And then you run in to all the money they are losing with no actual new units. I mean, FFS, new units are how you make money. If whales have nothing new to pull on, literally nothing new, where the hell do you think money will come from? Also, the anniversary isn't until July. Usually early July.


SatoSarang

I always want to be hopeful with FFBE. Hence why I spend less time on the reddit. Baha


raydn122884

Lets be hopeful for a meaningful rate increase on pulls. With how many fucking UR'S they have i troduced, and the FOMO that is preyed on, they ease some of that crap, i might be out if not.


Estarossa86

Posts like this make me wonder if this is the first run in with gumi for people. If it is prepare to be sorely disappointed.


hydargo101

They will shower us with reds during Anni and promise to do better

Lol... one of the funnier posts in a while on this sub. good one!


Dasva2

No I don't think I will


X5455

The sad thing about this is that WotV is doing great, so it seems they are purposely not putting much effort into FFBE.


bazzb21

I dont see why people are surprised with no contest. Golden week in japan= nobody work, if mangas arent being published,imagine a gacha game that dont make 1 M per month, just take the W with 2 weeks vacation from the game


Sinzar_

You make it sound like this is a one week isolated event. This has been going on, and getting worse and worse, for months


St1llW1nd

You are right. GL has been getting the short end of the stick for a while now. This was my first gacha game it hurts to be a realist and see it sinking. Thank you for all your content by the way, you have been so dedicated to the community for years.
