It's honestly such a huge advantage to know things in advanced because it can help you budget as far as events go or in general just help you maybe save before you go spending materials etc like crazy.
lol yesssss so I've been told so many times already. I am just blind I guess because when I did pulls earlier I still had a hard time seeing it lmao 🤣🤣
Idk maybe its me and my experience with shinning nikki, But id really want to get a clothing item with my pulls rather than a 5 star makeup. Ive had multiple times where I spend gems to get makeup on an event just to get the makeup I wanted in the last 3-4 items to complete a set. Like in shinning nikki, I wanted the lilibai lashes (the best lashes in game IMO) and it WAS THE LAST DROP I GOT 🥲. Atleast with this system in infinity nikki Im guaranteed to get the makeup I wanted I just need to reach the node and ill get a clothing item in the process of getting the makeup so its a 2 for 1.
Reading this, I felt it so hard because I cannot tell you how many times it pissed me off to have one of my last pulls be eyebrows.. like really??!?! (imo they are the most useless in the game lmao) So I totally get it and agree that it is allot better than having to worry about it dropping in the pav itself.

@@notreally3254 omg really?! I saw the beginning and thought oh maybe the light is different? But then I was like nahhhhh I just see the same purple and blue rays 🤣 after the first time I just skipped the animations any time I pulled
Ohhhh welcome to your first gacha game dear! If you plan on spending, spend moderately! I know that it can get really crazy really fast. Also lmk if you have any future questions, will be happy to help 🖤
its a shame getting recolors is so expensive. if you want to design an outfit using parts of different sets, and their colors dont match unless you use a recolor, then well. yeah. otherwise im fine with this system though
Oh WOW. I heard that gacha games intentionally use a bunch of currencies to make it confusing and less trackable exactly how much a player spends for items but it's crazy. I think I'll stay F2P just to be safe. Genshin and HSR player here. :3
Gacha can be addictive sometimes 🤭 But this game is so nice, I will definitely approach banners more wisely with planning my pulls I think it's a perfect topic to research before playing! 💓💫
indeed it can! I can attest to that. I do think this game is f2p friendly. There's several of outfits that you can get for free and you get a bunch of gems from chests and quests.
Infold is the EA of the gacha gaming. If you played their other games: Nikki games, MLQC, Love and Deepspace, you will know how predatory this company is.
I feel like it's less greedy than hoyo games, especially genshin. The pulls cost less, the chests give more and you can at least not lose the 50/50. Also, the pulling isn't needed to play the game at all, whereas in most other gachas you need to pull characters regularly to clear stuff comfortably
@@LabertaSimul This. Like if people play other gachas aside from Hoyo and Kuro games, they'd know it usually IS greedy. Literally played SN and God it pains me so much while playing it but the dresses are so pretty so I usually cave in.😂
@@miana9193 this is a gacha, you literally still and will need to pull to complete a challenge. also this game needs tons of pull to complete a set of dress 😭 you might be fooled by how cheaper the pulls are but it's more expensive generally to get a set (heck even greedier than Hoyo if you played SN)
ohhhh welcome to the fun!! I've played numerous gachas through the years and the Infold IP's and Genshin are the only ones that have stuck with me through the years.
The old gacha mechanic esp the accessories as u pull more is def an infold thing because Love and Deepspace also has a recolor if u pull a dupe for the characters and yes ppl also complained about it, which is valid tbh.
Thank you for this video! I was feeling really overwhelmed by the different currencies and the game in general. Thanks to you the gacha is at least a bit more clear :) What I do wonder about is how you got so many gems....😅
new nikki player here. so it takes 140-180 pulls to complete a 5 star set, and another 140-180 pulls to complete the evolution? am i correct in understanding that?
Yes. 100-140 pulls for base outfit. Another 100-140 pulls for the final color variant. And you get the other two color variants for free when you reach 240 pulls in total. Meanwhile Genshin c6 unit costs 700 pulls and his/her r5 signature weapon costs 450 pulls.
@ which makes an incredibly huge difference and is not needed at all. it takes max 180 to get a full character if you're already not in garunetted. you're comparison is bad. the gacha in this game is mostly trash don't compare it to genshin when that's not even what we're talking about
@@Grey-vp5db incredibly huge difference because when you spend 1150 pulls ($2300) on Genshin, they only let you use your maxed out character in the new endgame for 2 combat rounds. 😂 It *used to* take 180 pulls to get a usable 5-star character there but nowadays, unless you get c2r1 or so, you get an incomplete character that technically deals less damage than your 4-star Xiangling. 😱
Hi I'm new to your channel. I just want to let you know i appreciate your guides and it is very informative. I have watch other guides, but yours is more indepth and just better. Thank you for taking your time to post these! Definitely help me enjoy the game better without feeling lost!
AWWW thank you so much for being here! Honestly means the world! So glad that you thought my videos were helpful too, honestly that's the main goal here. To help y'all be informed and guide y'all in any way I can so that you can have a lovely gaming experience. 🖤
I hope there will a way to sort the outfits by kingdoms or designer. I actually enjoy collecting and completing from the places I find their story interesting
To be honest this game looks really greedy on pulls, which as a consumer i don't appreciate. Therefore ill just play the game for its exploration and don't care about those at all. Not willing to spend money on companies who are too predatory. Free to play, all the way!
it is. shining nikki literally sucked the life out of me. there is a currency for everything, even outfit events. and it takes a fuck ton of crystals to complete the outfit. i still wanna play the game for the pretty visuals
@@Bananan66You can play. Just keep in mind you won't be able to keep up with every banner that drops. So you'll have to skip a few banners and save for which ever future banners you like
Hey! I'm the person who was asking a bunch of questions in chat during the release livestream lol. Thanks for the video! The rates seem similar to SN if anything, but the rates in SN are pretty nasty already (especially the current event with the cat butler going on right now) and I wonder how much "free" currency you can gather just from exploring or playing 😅 It's no FGO, but Paper and Infold have some of the most pressuring gacha rates and event schedules that I've seen, especially if we're looking at Mr. Love or Love and Deepspace (for any Hoyoverse players here, Genshin's gacha system is way more forgiving than anything from Paper. I've been playing games from both companies for years). I'll probably go into this with the same mindset I've done with Nikki games so far - which is stack and save my diamonds for whatever sets look nice or to cover my stat bases across the five styles. I just hope that Paper doesn't bungle up the event schedule like they have in SN so far where pulling for event suits feels like more of a hassle because of how little time they give us between UR Hell events. I'm not sure how to feel about them putting the makeup into the pull rebate system rather than the banner itself tbh. After playing SN for so long, I would prefer getting clothes over makeup when the make-up counts as a quarter of an entire suit, but having to pull a certain number just to get the make-up item itself doesn't seem too great either. It's kind of like a double edged sword, especially if you only want a specific make-up piece and not the entire suit. At least you'll know when you get it for sure instead of praying to RNGesus if anything. It definitely sucks they're going back to the "you have to pull dupes to evolve and recolor" thing like they did in LN unfortunately, so I'm probably gonna give up on making those a priority lol.
hi hi, I def remember you and so happy to see you here! Sorry for the uber late reply! As you might have noticed the makeup drop mechanic changed and I love them for that! Now you actually get to select what you want vs just having something drop ToT chefs kiss. As someone who has maxed VIP for both Love Nikki and Shining Nikki and omw to a VIP membership with LaDS 😅 we already know that this is going to be a whole a** struggle with events. Maybe in the beginning they will be a bit more relaxed since the content creating takes time but.. knowing what we know from their other IP's I'm pretty sure it will be the standard 2-3 weeks for a banner, pause for like 2-5 days and then a new banner once they get their gears fully turning.
Lmao sorry ToT a few people once mentioned that they couldn't use the provided captions YT does for those that don't speak English when I was talking in my normal tone 😅 so since then I've just kinda talked louldy
How important is it to have a complete set? If I only like/want one or two pieces of the set and get them, can I chill and wait for the next banner or is it important to have a full set or just for having a satisfying full outfit? Sorry for this lost question but it's my first Nikki game. I play Genshin Impact since release and played a lot other gacha games but this kind is new for me haha
@@zCritiaz It honestly depends. If you’re in for the meta, typically 5 star sets (which are the limited banners) have higher scores in battles. If the outfit has an ability, you won’t be able to use the ability it comes with if you only have a few pieces. If you’re just playing for collection and fun then yeah you don’t have to worry about much :) You can get through battles by upgrading the clothing you do have that isn’t p2w exclusive and focus on saving for sets you do want.
Frankly, I don't quite get the uproar about having to pull another 160 (19200 diamonds) for the evolution as its standard for a lot of other gachas when you're trying to get your favs upgrades assuming you lost 50/50. However, my current question is this: Is 160 pulls our guarantee for a full set? Or is there at least a guarantee count at all? Because if not and it can theoretically go on for infinity, then THAT is a major problem for everybody. Imagine its your 300 pull already and that dang choker just won't show up. I'd rage quit tbh
@@VeliaOwO doubles as in the 5 star or the rest of the outfits listed in one banner? Because even if the 5 star doesn't get doubles if we keep getting doubles for the 4 stars after we get the 4star outfit it could still go on forever
i get the evolution mechanic for a game where youre making units stronger. but for a game all about fashion, having alt color options be super expensive sucks. it greatly limits the freedom you have in making outfits. i wish the evolution was for something other than colors
@nidgithm That's a fair argument. I also agree it should give stat boosts in that sense. But if they don't, then this would mean its akin to skins in games. Then, depending how you look at it (aka how your luck has it) this might be a slightly better alternative than using real money like how skins are usually provided in other games, so I still don't see the uproar considering skins itself aren't a requirement to majorly alter your experience anyway-unless, well, coming back to my question: is there a guarantee to what pull max will it take for us to get a full set? Because if there isn't that's a way bigger issue
it will change based on the number of items of a set. it the set has more or less items it will cost a bit more or less, akin to previous nikki games. creators are calculating everything based on the suits that we have now because most of them are new to the series, imo
Hi! A lot of your videos helped me so much, sorry to bother, you probably said this in one of your videos but i dont have that much time now to watch them all, is there some type of resin(genshin example) mechanic here? like to farm blings, materials, boss drops (maybe?) or anything else
Hi hi love! The currency here that is like Genshin's primo gems is the Revelation crystal. These however do not drop in chests, but you can farm for pink gems which you will be able to exchange into crystals. These are found in chests all over the world, you can obtain them by completing quests, playing mini games found all over the world, and completing dailies. Bling is the mora of this world, that is also found scattered all over and the good thing is that this resets daily so it definitely is farmable. Alike genshin bosses, this game also uses it's own kind of "resin" that you get a limit of 200? OR was it 300? I don't recall ToT but it also slowly replenishes irt.
@@AlmaHeartfire hi hi, yes they are limited time pulls for the limited banner. At the moment that you pull on the banner it will use whatever limited time ones you have first then the regular crystals. The limited crystals expire on the 18th, the last day of the current limited banners
so if I understand this correctly; to get all evolutions you pull for the full outfit once and then use the claimed currency through the echo rewards to get the first/second evolution and then if you want the 3rd evolution you only need to pull 1 extra 5 star?
you need to pull for the full 5 star set all over again. Looking at it like if it's awakening/ranking cards or characters. However I have yet to determine if evolving the suit actually does anything score wise 🤔
Genshin soft pity (hard pity) Character: 75 pulls (90 pulls) Weapon: 63 pulls (80 pulls) Total: 138 pulls (170 pulls) In primos: 22,080 primos (27,200 primos) Star Real soft pity (hard pity) Character: 75 pulls (90 pulls) Weapon: 63 pulls (80 pulls) Total: 138 pulls (170 pulls) In stellar jade: 22,080 jades (27,200 jades) Best case scenario for Mihoyo games,you get a 5 star character and their exclusive weapon (if any) within 22,080 gems, optimistically speaking. Lose the 50/50 and you'll have to double that amount. Infinity Nikki only has one gacha, and that's for clothing. It's 140 pulls for the soft pity and 180 pulls for the hard pity. Respectively 16,800 and 21,600 gems.
genshin's weapon banner system has changed since 5.0. now it's the same with star rail with 160 pulls at max, except in genshin you can "lose" 50/50 to a limited weapon on top of standard weapon, which in certain situations can be pretty beneficial.
What is the point of this comment? You're comparing apples and oranges. Even between HSR and Genshin, the income per patch is not identical. The value of a character is also different. Difficulty of the game is also different. Genshin gacha is a bit worse, and income is slightly lower, but the game is relatively easier to beat, requiring less specific team comps to get through end game. HSR gacha is slightly better, with more income, but several different end game modes require more specific character archetypes to beat. This game is literally a dress up game, so pull value is entirely subjective. There's no information on patch incomes as of yet, and if I'm understanding correctly, it's just cosmetic, so why is it even being compared to either of the other games...
Doesn't Infinity Nikki also have 2 limited banners? I'm pretty sure that's how they are dealing with the fact that there's no weapon banner of sorts in this game. That said, it is definitely a lot more forgiving than Hoyo games, and there is less FOMO due to the fact that these are cosmetics and not units that provide a different way to play the game. I'm hoping Infinity Nikki takes off so that other game devs are aware that girly games still have an audience. I'm curious if we will have rerun banners as well? It's probably too early to tell and there's no point of reference since we've never had a dress-up gacha game before.
It's about the Permanent banner, When I resonated 20 draws I went to Deep Echoes to get the reward..while I was choosing between the cosmetics I clicked X on the right top then i lost my chance to get anything, I couldn't get any of the items, this broke my heart😢😢
Hey there, perhaps try checking your backpack from your in game pear pal for the reward! This happened to me too when I completed 40 draws on the permanent banner, I couldn’t choose a makeup item I wanted, Then I just happened to cross check my backpack and it was there, you should then be able to select the makeup item of your choice :)
Is this game friendly terms of difficulty? I will probably spend a bit of money for the launch. Hope this game is not gonna turn into a must pull/p2w shenanigan bs thing.
you def can go f2p, i played both love nikki and shining nikki and they have so many craftable outfits, you just have to be patient the limited outfits are only for the drip and maybe if they ever add pvp in the game but it's never that bad tbh
@@HelloHiHowareyou1 so sorry for the late reply!! Yeah like Kirana said, it's not a requirement to whale and the only issue you'd run in to if you were f2p is that you would have to be very patient with crafting in order to win your styling battles. Since you mentioned you'd moderately spend I'd suggest getting Mira Journey (the bp of this game.) You'll mainly be needing - shiny bubbles to level up your clothing, shining particle to level up your eureka, and vital energy
before putting email and password try clicking "go to register" on the bottom right, if even after doing that it doesn't work idk what to tell you haha
Hi Nightshade. Uughghhh, my son checked his email yesterday and saw that he was accepted to join the Beta in early October :/ He just got me a new tablet to play on when the game comes out. Do you know what time we can start. I want to get on right away :)
V it's so nice to see you!! Carry the Nightshade bottle that you sent me ages ago everywhere on a keychain. Sad to read that you missed out on the beta but excited to see that you will be ready to play the game upon release! As Chii said you can download the game tonight to expedite the process once it's time to play come Wednesday evening/night.
I know someone already replied but still wanted to share my insight. Previous Nikki games have mentioned and included deaths in their storyline. So some very mild mentions and scenes of violence. Nothing too major but thought I'd point it out just in case. I feel like it is definitely appropriate for her to play. Overall Infold has done a really good job with keeping Nikki herself wholesome. The idea has always been that big sister you look up to. She's strong, noble, independent. So a perfect role model for young children.
Just be careful with the gacha system. Even if you refuse her to pay anything in game, the "free pulls" can be enough to create a gamble addiction. There is a reason why they offer so many free pulls in the beginning... The gamble addiction is human and extremely hard to control.
The game was only available for pre-download right now. That way when it drops tomorrow you can start playing straight away and enjoy :) As for the time, I am unsure what time zone you’re in but for me it will be 8PM (I’m in the US, CST)
@@べチュルyes once the game releases you will be able to input the redeem code in your pear pal (device where you will be doing anything in game) I will upload a short video later explaining how to do it
Unless specified during the announcement, you can expect for all suits to return a few months/1 year later. Certain events like collabs will not return due to contracts etc. so with those do not hold expectations. But they will definitely rerun all other events. All nikki games rerun the events after a while ( and in love nikki some may not return but are brought back for crafting in that case) so if you want to play as a f2p you can just save up your gems for when an event you really like or for a rerun if you cannot finish an event due to lack of gems. So, no need to worry about missing on events. Just be patient, save up and you will get whatever suits you like ^^
I would hope so but the company also made love and deep space and fans have been begging for old banners to come back but still nothing so I’m hesitant
@@idkman6230 the game isn’t a year old yet, so it makes sense as to why the banners haven’t had a rerun yet. Maybe before or after LnD’s anniversary, but I think we’re getting closer to the point where we’ll eventually have reruns of past events more frequently.
Hi, I’m super excited about this game too! I think it’s absolutely adorable. I’ve only seen it in the app so far, and I’m really looking forward to playing it on PlayStation 5. I’m so excited! I’m also really happy that it’s a gacha game-I love that. For example, I’ve played Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact, and Infinity Nikki feels like something completely new. I do have a question though: Do you think there will be something like a Battle Pass in this game? Or maybe it will have a different name? Do you know anything about this already? By the way, I’ve subscribed to your channel! Greetings from Austria!
@@calicobunny yeah that’s been my one gripe with the previous games too. Like you can decompose clothing, but it only decomposes dupes not the original 😩
in previous nikki games you can deconstruct any items you dont like, down to the first copy of the item, you get materials and can craft diff. items. I think they might add it. often 5 stars come back fully f2p craftable as well.
not any official ones at the moment. Our CN brothers and sisters did develop a fan made one though - so I've heard. If I can find the link I'll make sure to share it here
@@SimplyNightshade I Still play it especially since they offer cheap packs unlike most gacha games but yeah I wasn't pulling everything multiple times just to get the color black lol. Def putting it on the back burner for infinity nikki since it's more immersive
My head hurt listening and watching this as I never played ANY Nikki games before... Surely if I play Genshin this game won't be as hard as Genshin for the exploration, quests, and collecting resources, right?
I played Genshin. I find Nikki easier to understand. The game just have more stuff to "collect" for achievements. While Genshin appear easier because it's an older and more popular game resulting in seeing more guides about it.
so sorry about that! I shared information about the previous games basically in a sense to help others understand why players were upset nothing major really. Nikki series games ultimately are always about using clothing that have a particular tag. Elegant, sweet, sexy, cool, and fresh. Anytime you battle with someone you will use one of these tags and will have to choose clothing that have a high score under this tag. So as long as you follow that and just are around exploring and collecting you'll be good
No worries guys. After I play the game now I think I can understand everything lol and I think the game is so much easier, relaxing, and cozier than the likes of Genshin it's just this is my very first Nikki game..
The game is available for download currently but it won’t be playable. This is only to expedite the process for tomorrow once it does become available to be played at 8PM CST (GMT-5)
Game looks great but id rather pay for it once and then pay again later(even more than once) for DLC if i like the game. Gacha games r nor worth. Not to mention that most have spyware which impacts your device
@@endermanowa porque un juego tiene que ser disfrutable es todos los sentidos. Si tienes que pagar por todo o casi todo lo que el juego te ofrece entonces no es disfrutable. Para eso mejor que no sea gratis.
I have plenty of fun with gatchas as a forever f2p player just save fo things you really want and skip for what you don't the experience is fun enough especially if playing for free
Espero que para poder avanzar en el juego no te hagan comprar con dinero real...sería muy frustrante estancarte porque no puedas obtener lo que necesitas.
Si es como los otros juegos, la unica razon por la cual tuvieras que gastar es si no eres paciente. Los otros juegos de Nikki las batallas siempre han podido completarse con lo que te dan en el juego gratis. Como te digo, lo unico es que si tienes que esperar porque tuvieras que recaudar los fondos, la vitalidad del juego, y materiales para poder crear ciertos trajes.
Too bad it's hard to get the other recolors, in Shining Nikki it's easier, I hope the developers listen to us and make changes to make the game more f2p friendly 🥲
yeahhh getting the recolors is going to be steep for ppl that don't spend. Since they introduced the new currency (revalation crystal) you now have to split your decisions on where to spend your pink gems. Perma banner if you don't have enough of the blue crystals and really want a set or the limited ones.
I hope there will a way to sort the outfits by kingdoms or designer. I actually enjoy collecting and completing from the places I find their story interesting

Thanks so much for the summary
new nikki player here. so it takes 140-180 pulls to complete a 5 star set, and another 140-180 pulls to complete the evolution? am i correct in understanding that?
cause if so, i think that’s quite reasonable and i dont think its greedier than genshin’s gacha system. if anything, it’s less
yeah i think that's right imo that's a lottt of pulls just to get a 5star
Yes. 100-140 pulls for base outfit. Another 100-140 pulls for the final color variant. And you get the other two color variants for free when you reach 240 pulls in total.
Meanwhile Genshin c6 unit costs 700 pulls and his/her r5 signature weapon costs 450 pulls.
@ which makes an incredibly huge difference and is not needed at all. it takes max 180 to get a full character if you're already not in garunetted. you're comparison is bad. the gacha in this game is mostly trash don't compare it to genshin when that's not even what we're talking about
@@Grey-vp5db incredibly huge difference because when you spend 1150 pulls ($2300) on Genshin, they only let you use your maxed out character in the new endgame for 2 combat rounds. 😂
It *used to* take 180 pulls to get a usable 5-star character there but nowadays, unless you get c2r1 or so, you get an incomplete character that technically deals less damage than your 4-star Xiangling. 😱
Hi I'm new to your channel. I just want to let you know i appreciate your guides and it is very informative. I have watch other guides, but yours is more indepth and just better. Thank you for taking your time to post these! Definitely help me enjoy the game better without feeling lost!
AWWW thank you so much for being here! Honestly means the world! So glad that you thought my videos were helpful too, honestly that's the main goal here. To help y'all be informed and guide y'all in any way I can so that you can have a lovely gaming experience. 🖤
I hope there will a way to sort the outfits by kingdoms or designer. I actually enjoy collecting and completing from the places I find their story interesting
To be honest this game looks really greedy on pulls, which as a consumer i don't appreciate. Therefore ill just play the game for its exploration and don't care about those at all. Not willing to spend money on companies who are too predatory. Free to play, all the way!
it is. shining nikki literally sucked the life out of me. there is a currency for everything, even outfit events. and it takes a fuck ton of crystals to complete the outfit. i still wanna play the game for the pretty visuals
@@petalsonthemoon_ so in other words, it’s probably not the best game for f2p players in general?
you can get 200 free pulls on the start, also in the playtest people were available to complete the sets even without being able to spend money
@@Bananan66You can play. Just keep in mind you won't be able to keep up with every banner that drops. So you'll have to skip a few banners and save for which ever future banners you like
@@Bananan66 it better not be. I want to be able to complete a dress every 2 banner drops lmao. It’s also guaranteed so the pulls will be managed
Hey! I'm the person who was asking a bunch of questions in chat during the release livestream lol. Thanks for the video!
The rates seem similar to SN if anything, but the rates in SN are pretty nasty already (especially the current event with the cat butler going on right now) and I wonder how much "free" currency you can gather just from exploring or playing 😅 It's no FGO, but Paper and Infold have some of the most pressuring gacha rates and event schedules that I've seen, especially if we're looking at Mr. Love or Love and Deepspace (for any Hoyoverse players here, Genshin's gacha system is way more forgiving than anything from Paper. I've been playing games from both companies for years). I'll probably go into this with the same mindset I've done with Nikki games so far - which is stack and save my diamonds for whatever sets look nice or to cover my stat bases across the five styles. I just hope that Paper doesn't bungle up the event schedule like they have in SN so far where pulling for event suits feels like more of a hassle because of how little time they give us between UR Hell events.
I'm not sure how to feel about them putting the makeup into the pull rebate system rather than the banner itself tbh. After playing SN for so long, I would prefer getting clothes over makeup when the make-up counts as a quarter of an entire suit, but having to pull a certain number just to get the make-up item itself doesn't seem too great either. It's kind of like a double edged sword, especially if you only want a specific make-up piece and not the entire suit. At least you'll know when you get it for sure instead of praying to RNGesus if anything.
It definitely sucks they're going back to the "you have to pull dupes to evolve and recolor" thing like they did in LN unfortunately, so I'm probably gonna give up on making those a priority lol.
hi hi, I def remember you and so happy to see you here! Sorry for the uber late reply! As you might have noticed the makeup drop mechanic changed and I love them for that! Now you actually get to select what you want vs just having something drop ToT chefs kiss.
As someone who has maxed VIP for both Love Nikki and Shining Nikki and omw to a VIP membership with LaDS 😅 we already know that this is going to be a whole a** struggle with events. Maybe in the beginning they will be a bit more relaxed since the content creating takes time but.. knowing what we know from their other IP's I'm pretty sure it will be the standard 2-3 weeks for a banner, pause for like 2-5 days and then a new banner once they get their gears fully turning.
Haha not going to lie, I felt like you were yelling at me the whole video 🤣🤣
Lmao sorry ToT a few people once mentioned that they couldn't use the provided captions YT does for those that don't speak English when I was talking in my normal tone 😅 so since then I've just kinda talked louldy
How important is it to have a complete set?
If I only like/want one or two pieces of the set and get them, can I chill and wait for the next banner or is it important to have a full set or just for having a satisfying full outfit?
Sorry for this lost question but it's my first Nikki game.
I play Genshin Impact since release and played a lot other gacha games but this kind is new for me haha
@@zCritiaz It honestly depends. If you’re in for the meta, typically 5 star sets (which are the limited banners) have higher scores in battles. If the outfit has an ability, you won’t be able to use the ability it comes with if you only have a few pieces. If you’re just playing for collection and fun then yeah you don’t have to worry about much :)
You can get through battles by upgrading the clothing you do have that isn’t p2w exclusive and focus on saving for sets you do want.
@SimplyNightshade thank you so much for your help!
I enjoy your work and all of your vids!
It’s going to be so hard not to spend my entire paycheck on this.
@@FailCat13 🫂 HONESTLY. Budget wisely my friend 😭 especially rn during the holiday season
Frankly, I don't quite get the uproar about having to pull another 160 (19200 diamonds) for the evolution as its standard for a lot of other gachas when you're trying to get your favs upgrades assuming you lost 50/50. However, my current question is this: Is 160 pulls our guarantee for a full set? Or is there at least a guarantee count at all? Because if not and it can theoretically go on for infinity, then THAT is a major problem for everybody. Imagine its your 300 pull already and that dang choker just won't show up. I'd rage quit tbh
I’m pretty sure you’re not getting any doubles until you complete the full outfit!
@@VeliaOwO doubles as in the 5 star or the rest of the outfits listed in one banner? Because even if the 5 star doesn't get doubles if we keep getting doubles for the 4 stars after we get the 4star outfit it could still go on forever
i get the evolution mechanic for a game where youre making units stronger. but for a game all about fashion, having alt color options be super expensive sucks. it greatly limits the freedom you have in making outfits. i wish the evolution was for something other than colors
@nidgithm That's a fair argument. I also agree it should give stat boosts in that sense. But if they don't, then this would mean its akin to skins in games. Then, depending how you look at it (aka how your luck has it) this might be a slightly better alternative than using real money like how skins are usually provided in other games, so I still don't see the uproar considering skins itself aren't a requirement to majorly alter your experience anyway-unless, well, coming back to my question: is there a guarantee to what pull max will it take for us to get a full set? Because if there isn't that's a way bigger issue
it will change based on the number of items of a set. it the set has more or less items it will cost a bit more or less, akin to previous nikki games. creators are calculating everything based on the suits that we have now because most of them are new to the series, imo
20k for a single suit is so expensive it's disgusting.
for the 5 star animation there's rainbow traces everywhere also at the start of the animation. on the 3-4 star one theres nothing
Hi! A lot of your videos helped me so much, sorry to bother, you probably said this in one of your videos but i dont have that much time now to watch them all, is there some type of resin(genshin example) mechanic here? like to farm blings, materials, boss drops (maybe?) or anything else
Hi hi love! The currency here that is like Genshin's primo gems is the Revelation crystal. These however do not drop in chests, but you can farm for pink gems which you will be able to exchange into crystals. These are found in chests all over the world, you can obtain them by completing quests, playing mini games found all over the world, and completing dailies.
Bling is the mora of this world, that is also found scattered all over and the good thing is that this resets daily so it definitely is farmable. Alike genshin bosses, this game also uses it's own kind of "resin" that you get a limit of 200? OR was it 300? I don't recall ToT but it also slowly replenishes irt.
@@SimplyNightshade Thank you so much!!! :D im so excited
I have a question there seems to be pulls with a hour glass on it and I can't seem to access it are they pulls there for a limited time?
@@AlmaHeartfire hi hi, yes they are limited time pulls for the limited banner. At the moment that you pull on the banner it will use whatever limited time ones you have first then the regular crystals. The limited crystals expire on the 18th, the last day of the current limited banners
so if I understand this correctly; to get all evolutions you pull for the full outfit once and then use the claimed currency through the echo rewards to get the first/second evolution and then if you want the 3rd evolution you only need to pull 1 extra 5 star?
you need to pull for the full 5 star set all over again. Looking at it like if it's awakening/ranking cards or characters. However I have yet to determine if evolving the suit actually does anything score wise 🤔
7:50 "If my math is mathing" 🤣
Thanks can’t wait to play
Genshin soft pity (hard pity)
Character: 75 pulls (90 pulls)
Weapon: 63 pulls (80 pulls)
Total: 138 pulls (170 pulls)
In primos: 22,080 primos (27,200 primos)
Star Real soft pity (hard pity)
Character: 75 pulls (90 pulls)
Weapon: 63 pulls (80 pulls)
Total: 138 pulls (170 pulls)
In stellar jade: 22,080 jades (27,200 jades)
Best case scenario for Mihoyo games,you get a 5 star character and their exclusive weapon (if any) within 22,080 gems, optimistically speaking. Lose the 50/50 and you'll have to double that amount.
Infinity Nikki only has one gacha, and that's for clothing.
It's 140 pulls for the soft pity and 180 pulls for the hard pity. Respectively 16,800 and 21,600 gems.
For Mihoyo games, each pull is 160 gems.
For Infinity Nikki, each pull is 120 gems.
genshin's weapon banner system has changed since 5.0. now it's the same with star rail with 160 pulls at max, except in genshin you can "lose" 50/50 to a limited weapon on top of standard weapon, which in certain situations can be pretty beneficial.
What is the point of this comment? You're comparing apples and oranges. Even between HSR and Genshin, the income per patch is not identical. The value of a character is also different. Difficulty of the game is also different. Genshin gacha is a bit worse, and income is slightly lower, but the game is relatively easier to beat, requiring less specific team comps to get through end game. HSR gacha is slightly better, with more income, but several different end game modes require more specific character archetypes to beat. This game is literally a dress up game, so pull value is entirely subjective. There's no information on patch incomes as of yet, and if I'm understanding correctly, it's just cosmetic, so why is it even being compared to either of the other games...
@@wetnoodlex100%^ exactly what I was going to say
Doesn't Infinity Nikki also have 2 limited banners? I'm pretty sure that's how they are dealing with the fact that there's no weapon banner of sorts in this game.
That said, it is definitely a lot more forgiving than Hoyo games, and there is less FOMO due to the fact that these are cosmetics and not units that provide a different way to play the game. I'm hoping Infinity Nikki takes off so that other game devs are aware that girly games still have an audience.
I'm curious if we will have rerun banners as well? It's probably too early to tell and there's no point of reference since we've never had a dress-up gacha game before.
It's about the Permanent banner, When I resonated 20 draws I went to Deep Echoes to get the reward..while I was choosing between the cosmetics I clicked X on the right top then i lost my chance to get anything, I couldn't get any of the items, this broke my heart😢😢
Hey there, perhaps try checking your backpack from your in game pear pal for the reward!
This happened to me too when I completed 40 draws on the permanent banner, I couldn’t choose a makeup item I wanted,
Then I just happened to cross check my backpack and it was there, you should then be able to select the makeup item of your choice :)
@ it was there tyyy🤍🤍
@@callisto9914 💜✨
Me too :(
Is this game friendly terms of difficulty? I will probably spend a bit of money for the launch. Hope this game is not gonna turn into a must pull/p2w shenanigan bs thing.
you def can go f2p, i played both love nikki and shining nikki and they have so many craftable outfits, you just have to be patient
the limited outfits are only for the drip and maybe if they ever add pvp in the game but it's never that bad tbh
@ thanks for the info. I’m having a blast playing the game right now!
@@HelloHiHowareyou1 after playing for 2 days, you will only spend money if you either want to get another color of the gacha outfit, or both outfits.
@@HelloHiHowareyou1 so sorry for the late reply!! Yeah like Kirana said, it's not a requirement to whale and the only issue you'd run in to if you were f2p is that you would have to be very patient with crafting in order to win your styling battles. Since you mentioned you'd moderately spend I'd suggest getting Mira Journey (the bp of this game.) You'll mainly be needing - shiny bubbles to level up your clothing, shining particle to level up your eureka, and vital energy
It won’t let me create an account, it won’t send the verification email Is there a way to fix this?
before putting email and password try clicking "go to register" on the bottom right, if even after doing that it doesn't work idk what to tell you haha

Hi Nightshade. Uughghhh, my son checked his email yesterday and saw that he was accepted to join the Beta in early October :/ He just got me a new tablet to play on when the game comes out. Do you know what time we can start. I want to get on right away :)
You can download tonight at 11PM Eastern on your devices.
We can open the game and play Wednesday at 9PM Eastern time. USA
V it's so nice to see you!! Carry the Nightshade bottle that you sent me ages ago everywhere on a keychain. Sad to read that you missed out on the beta but excited to see that you will be ready to play the game upon release! As Chii said you can download the game tonight to expedite the process once it's time to play come Wednesday evening/night.
Aw, that's so cool, I'm glad that you liked it! Thanks for the heads-up on tonight's download. I'm super stoked.
I don't see it on the Play Store to download it from :0
@@VondaInWonderland what time zone are you in V? I'm CST which is at 10PM for me
Is this appropriate for my 10 year old daughter to play?
Been playing the game for a few days and so far I would say yes its appropriate! 👍
@ Thanks!
I know someone already replied but still wanted to share my insight. Previous Nikki games have mentioned and included deaths in their storyline. So some very mild mentions and scenes of violence.
Nothing too major but thought I'd point it out just in case. I feel like it is definitely appropriate for her to play.
Overall Infold has done a really good job with keeping Nikki herself wholesome. The idea has always been that big sister you look up to. She's strong, noble, independent. So a perfect role model for young children.
Just be careful with the gacha system. Even if you refuse her to pay anything in game, the "free pulls" can be enough to create a gamble addiction. There is a reason why they offer so many free pulls in the beginning... The gamble addiction is human and extremely hard to control.
@@SimplyNightshade Thank you for the additional information. I think I’m ok with my daughter playing this game.
I’m so scared
I downloaded the game but I can't play it. When will it be released?
The game was only available for pre-download right now. That way when it drops tomorrow you can start playing straight away and enjoy :) As for the time, I am unsure what time zone you’re in but for me it will be 8PM (I’m in the US, CST)
@@SimplyNightshade thank you❤ Where can I write the redeem code? Can I write it after the game is opened?
@@べチュルyes once the game releases you will be able to input the redeem code in your pear pal (device where you will be doing anything in game) I will upload a short video later explaining how to do it
@@SimplyNightshade Thank you, you are a very good person! I hope you have more subscribers.❤
Will limited banners ever come back?
i guess probably, i guess like all nikki games there will be more than 2 banners and they will all come back, but it's just a guess
Unless specified during the announcement, you can expect for all suits to return a few months/1 year later. Certain events like collabs will not return due to contracts etc. so with those do not hold expectations. But they will definitely rerun all other events. All nikki games rerun the events after a while ( and in love nikki some may not return but are brought back for crafting in that case) so if you want to play as a f2p you can just save up your gems for when an event you really like or for a rerun if you cannot finish an event due to lack of gems. So, no need to worry about missing on events. Just be patient, save up and you will get whatever suits you like ^^
I would hope so but the company also made love and deep space and fans have been begging for old banners to come back but still nothing so I’m hesitant
@@idkman6230 the game isn’t a year old yet, so it makes sense as to why the banners haven’t had a rerun yet. Maybe before or after LnD’s anniversary, but I think we’re getting closer to the point where we’ll eventually have reruns of past events more frequently.
I think so yes, but if it's a collab (considering Love/Miracle Nikki and Shining Nikki had those like Sanrio, Disney etc.) then not
Hi, I’m super excited about this game too! I think it’s absolutely adorable. I’ve only seen it in the app so far, and I’m really looking forward to playing it on PlayStation 5. I’m so excited! I’m also really happy that it’s a gacha game-I love that. For example, I’ve played Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact, and Infinity Nikki feels like something completely new.
I do have a question though: Do you think there will be something like a Battle Pass in this game? Or maybe it will have a different name? Do you know anything about this already?
By the way, I’ve subscribed to your channel! Greetings from Austria!
Ohhh Austria!! Loveeee! Thank you so much for subscribing too, really appreciate it. Hoping I can help you through your journey
There’s a monthly event that I think is like a battle pass. I just started playing so idk the name but it’s somewhere in the events menu
hey can you like, sell back your clothes? or are tehy stuck in your inventory?
@@calicobunny stuck in your inventory. Forever a part of you. Sad because trust, there’s a few you won’t like 😅
@@SimplyNightshade ug thats my worst fear. its the same in splatoon...
@@calicobunny yeah that’s been my one gripe with the previous games too. Like you can decompose clothing, but it only decomposes dupes not the original 😩
in previous nikki games you can deconstruct any items you dont like, down to the first copy of the item, you get materials and can craft diff. items. I think they might add it. often 5 stars come back fully f2p craftable as well.
Is there an interactive map for this game??
not any official ones at the moment. Our CN brothers and sisters did develop a fan made one though - so I've heard. If I can find the link I'll make sure to share it here
wow that is so so awsome
Is playable without purchase (for example exploration and principal outfit with an ability?)
yees, is jut to be more pretty changing your power outfit appareance
looks like for the recolor they took the life makeover system which sucks because I don't even bother honestly
legit stopped playing Life Makeover bc I was gonna go hella broke if I kept it up. Do love the ultimate customization that they offer though.
@@SimplyNightshade I Still play it especially since they offer cheap packs unlike most gacha games but yeah I wasn't pulling everything multiple times just to get the color black lol. Def putting it on the back burner for infinity nikki since it's more immersive
My head hurt listening and watching this as I never played ANY Nikki games before...
Surely if I play Genshin this game won't be as hard as Genshin for the exploration, quests, and collecting resources, right?
I played Genshin. I find Nikki easier to understand. The game just have more stuff to "collect" for achievements. While Genshin appear easier because it's an older and more popular game resulting in seeing more guides about it.
so sorry about that! I shared information about the previous games basically in a sense to help others understand why players were upset nothing major really. Nikki series games ultimately are always about using clothing that have a particular tag. Elegant, sweet, sexy, cool, and fresh. Anytime you battle with someone you will use one of these tags and will have to choose clothing that have a high score under this tag. So as long as you follow that and just are around exploring and collecting you'll be good
No worries guys. After I play the game now I think I can understand everything lol and I think the game is so much easier, relaxing, and cozier than the likes of Genshin it's just this is my very first Nikki game..
i CANT WAIIIITTT

Banners are "pools" of available items (characters, loot, cards, etc) that players can "roll" on. - Google says

You can also just not pay at all, how is the game not worth it then?
@@endermanowa porque un juego tiene que ser disfrutable es todos los sentidos. Si tienes que pagar por todo o casi todo lo que el juego te ofrece entonces no es disfrutable. Para eso mejor que no sea gratis.

Espero que para poder avanzar en el juego no te hagan comprar con dinero real...sería muy frustrante estancarte porque no puedas obtener lo que necesitas.
Si es como los otros juegos, la unica razon por la cual tuvieras que gastar es si no eres paciente. Los otros juegos de Nikki las batallas siempre han podido completarse con lo que te dan en el juego gratis. Como te digo, lo unico es que si tienes que esperar porque tuvieras que recaudar los fondos, la vitalidad del juego, y materiales para poder crear ciertos trajes.
god i hate this video explanation so much.
Why?
It’s spelled “Gottcha.”
no it’s literally not lmfao
??? no
Too bad it's hard to get the other recolors, in Shining Nikki it's easier, I hope the developers listen to us and make changes to make the game more f2p friendly 🥲
yeahhh getting the recolors is going to be steep for ppl that don't spend. Since they introduced the new currency (revalation crystal) you now have to split your decisions on where to spend your pink gems. Perma banner if you don't have enough of the blue crystals and really want a set or the limited ones.
I hope there will a way to sort the outfits by kingdoms or designer. I actually enjoy collecting and completing from the places I find their story interesting
