and some reiaru

so if you started playing this year, unless you pirate, you have no legit access to the character interactions and growth from events from years 1-3. and this is made significantly worse by the card-locked chara stories, which you can’t access either because you have to wait for a special pull event which hosts them. you pull rerun cards with a separate paid currency than new cards. the rates are abysmal. ftp players are forced to pick a favorite and hope they can get every copy of that specific character, which means their pull success for the rest of the ensemble cast is circumstantial given that they’re only pulling on their fave chara events. which means they’re only getting a threadbare and spotty experience of the other character’s story.

pirated stories are out there for folks to find but that extra step is too much of a bother or insurmountable for many, because piracy literacy is also down—and in some regions of the world, the fan opinion around piracy is so low that they simply won’t. and that keeps the gacha exclusives profitable because people will buy duplicates for themselves before they will share with others.

this is to say that 1) piracy is not a priority for me re: nuca because i started playing shortly after the year 1 anniversary and thus through reruns and new events i have ‘kept up’ with the game and 2) i came on just in time to miss out on the rerun of the white day event, which i have no way of reading officially, even 3 years after it originally ran.
