The Road to Worldwide Version Part II campaign was the most ridiculous thing of it all. They even made a banner for it, which suggests somewhere in Square Enix/Gumi, some manager looked at this and went "OK, yeah, seems like a good idea, let's make a banner to highlight this." In fairness, as you've highlighted in the video they've made some effort towards easing player frustration, so hopefully things will improve even more. But until they are finally satisfying the players, the best -- and arguably only -- weapon we have is to limit our spending in WOTV or don't spend. Make them feel the pinch.
I'd love to see your account, to understand what kinda player you re. Bcz imo, the game is just fine. In fact the last year we got a improvment on life quality. The only bad thing of this mix is bcz CN used to be a spoiler of future content.. now we have left just the 48h anounce on monday
In fairness to this week, Japan also got a cost 100 unit and VC for Glaci. It just looks terrible given our current circunstances. And that's where my nice comments end. Because the fact that they just didn't say anything on the developer stream just killed any faith I had left in them. They said they'd reevaluate but it's been a month since and nothing's changed, so fuckem. Haven't spent ever since they anounced this bullshit and I sure won't be spending more unless a miracle happens.
Day 1 player here, I just quit the game after they're trying to make me pity again summer glassie, y gumi y pity, pity, pity,pity always??? Self-disappointment has to stop. Thanks for almost 4 years of fun and sufferring.
I'm playing this game for 2 and half years now. Coming from another gacha game, i felt this game was refreshing. Fair, rewarding, comunicative. I felt at first they really cared. This is not what i feel now. I see more and more things i already saw before. Their plans, whatever they are, are coming first and there's absolutely no concern for the players for the consequences. They do the less they can to just stop complaints. Throw a bone here and there, hoping it is enough. I had no problems to spend before (just a light spender, not a whale) I have more problems now, and i just don't feel like it will be much of a difference.
I picked this up after kingdom hearts union cross went offline and had the same experience, lol. Started at the 1 year anni and pulled nearly every unit until around earlier this year when the game was no longer feeling as generous as before. They have been making subtle deals to the shop since then, and I cut my spending during 3rd anni
I have almost everything in the game and I’m losing interest as there just isn’t enough story. These little add on scenarios like Baylo and legendary reliquaries, & nightmare anything are pointless. Warrior of the Crystals was awesome. Arena is so boring, almost every team is the same & it has to be auto. Even fully reincarnated Bradley & company is destroyed by my wind team with no trust stones. If this game goes EOS after the main story arc finishes, then I called it over a year ago
FACT: If people will pay and play this, nothing will change. Dont you guys have emulators to play old jrpg? finished Lunar 2 recently, you should try it.
great video I share your sentiments! They would acknowledge that 100 cost barrage was happening but do absolutely nothing about it and the RTWW made it even worse.
i really think the major part of players think like that. the really question is how 100% of posts, videos and coments exposing the bad faith of gumi make appers so many "defenders/employers"
was tempted with Summer Glacy, but was reminded that Bride Alaya is around the corner... then FFVIII.... I might just dedicate resources and wallet to raising Rinoa.
Thank you for saying it, Agrias needs a comeback. My first bout of happiness in this game was getting Agrias. I used her for soo long. I wish I could use her now, she's a red mage. I got all the VCs. I am ready. Then can WOTV fade into the night
I'm actually just focused on pulling the "REALLY LIMITED" collaborations like Nier, Dragon Quest, FMA, Persona and other FF games. Summer, Halloween, Winter, Lunar, Global and even those Crystal Warrior bastards are all skipped for me.
Wotv Worldwide Road of Disrespect! I went F2P again, thinking i should have never spent in the past. trust shattered..even if game isnt bad and i love it.. I hate Gumi choices. I heard Gumi was Bad. Know i now how bad
This shit is one more item on an already obnoxiously long list of reasons I took regular breaks. I came back this time with the hopeful understanding that its unlikely to get worse... ...but it did get worse. Gumi always finds a way, don't they? Oh well. If the game gets an offline version when it goes under like Megaman Xdive did, I'll gladly buy it. o7 Godspeed WOTV community. You've been fun to interact with.
i'm just going with flew here in my opinion there no good game for me out there just like this one do't wan quit just skip everything is right move u don't have to get every character and vc i'k it sad and yeah hope for good update for queen even know it not gone happen :(
You summed it up at the end perfectly. I'll spend again when there's specials worth buying. Also I'm max reincarnating Agrias as soon as her 140 drops. Maybe I'll have Raegen ready by then
@@northofmainstreet7281 it means you accumulate no more stars. Its like 83 reincarnations. So yes, there is a maximum. After that you are just rerolling your final reincarnation
@@mcbagpipes5588 if you start keeping stars on initial transcendence. It’s not worth it unless you have the stuff needed lying around. Trust stones do so much more
ppl will spend if you have good faith, apparently SE/Gumi don't know what good faith means. It's like they dont even like money, ppl would be all over those paid 2k banners + pack F every month but no.. they gotta be fucking greedy.
Boycott till the fix it! Gummi you will get no money from us players! Fix the game, compensation not enough! Also fix Squall no way Global players are going to pull for him how he is in JP and while you are at it fix It Thancred as well!
Reminds me of Global TAC; same leveling gates and lack of resources to existing players while new players got a much better start and OP units. You may be right....GUMI at it again ...
It is obvious that we have now much less youtubers covering WOTV. Some of them must have turned into ftp. And nowadays you do not whale big in the game there’s no content to make videos.
while watching the video i was thinking about the FFT characters and how the game supposed to be inspired by that game and at the very end of the video i make a bow to you and thos words. I hope the game gets better and of course a want to see other FFT characters xD
Good thing Sword of Convallaria is gonna be a thing soon. I already played the demo, I wasn't approved for the first beta but applied for it again for the different beta. Not in Global yet of course since I didn't played it, but it is already out in different languages. I been told the game would be out on Steam, Mobile, and Nintendo Switch. And SoD is the kind of story in the game where you can play the story with no features that prevent you from playing like no Stamina system and not like the ranking system from Genshin Impact either, infact SoD is so focused on no-gacha part of the story that I also heard you can recruit characters for free and there's no macro-transaction of any kind. Is just that you cannot transfer the progression to the gacha part of the game so you still need to pull for gacha to do other content, but I heard the gacha itself gives you alot of SSR characters (can't confirm if gacha aspect is good since the game aren't out yet in Global, but that's what I heard though). So that's cool, lol XD
yep, the end is probably near, even playing casually takes too much time, the game has too much complex shit in it that also demands time in effort it stops being a game and they had the audacity to use hiroki for this stunt too, again gumi has ruinied another game, its just too much and its too suffocating now
After the new Glaciela I quit the game (0,8% to jayden, fuck you gumi) and honestly, it feels good. First the visigate fiasco and now that worldwide BS, the idea of GL and JP players having to BEG FOR 2 YEARS for FFT still makes no sense for me, the lack of new content is a joke and all they have done is reduce rewards in every way possible. There is other games that respect us more than gumi ever did and with atual content to PLAY not just autoplay... in the begining we had maps with some type of strategy like press a button each side avoiding traps to open a bridge to the boss, mess with the castle gates, even the most fun game mode we played for a little while was at the beginning of the game, the midlights deep event. its been the SAME events after that, Raid, ToR, Tower, Limited Guild battle/raid.
Definitely agree with the lack of engaging content. I also recall the early attempts at interesting map design, but I guess that in itself didn't make any money like new units do, so they fired the people who worked on that, or made them work on new VCs in the basement or something 😂.
@@CrystalPapa I agree, but where are we gonna use the 200 bucks waifu that they just released? Theres no way that no dev would think about it...WOTV was very generous at the beginning that most players could be f2p and be competitive, they had to do something, that was for sure but they've gone too far.
Myself as a day 1 GL player agreed with all your points, dang they never learnt and just trying to band-aid with a poor band-aid... As someone point out in reddit post, this game is literally shot itself since 1st anniv, increasing shards needed to lv 120 already tedious, and they keep adding more idiot systems. Why Gumi why.... stop overdesigning a mobile game.... and keep adding feature creeps... This game already has 2 kind of banners (Character and VC) to pull everytime with abysmal pull rate... and buying shards consuming same resource with gacha too... God damn, I was happy I am retired of this game when FF15 GL collab, recently I just relog again for FF8 collab, grab Rinoa and Squall with free vis, and leave again. This game had potential at launch, but they killing themself overtime, great job Gumi, good luck with your predatory system.
As a former content creator for this game during the global launch of the game, I can say that the biggest reason I stopped making content is because I saw the pace the developers were pushing after the 1 year anni. That pace essentially killed off the majority of the player base, where they were/are F2P. I noticed that the remainder player base is about 10000 players, possibly less, are either whales or previous spenders going the F2P essentially staying with the ship until it goes down. I still spend a little here and there, but I am definitely here to see it go down since I enjoy Final Fantasy Tactics too much and having the ability to play different FF characters in one package is still fine. I just go after units I enjoy and Guild wars is fairly straight forward, win some and lose some. I do not stress about "meta," and my old content shows that I do not give a shit about tier lists and metas. Never have and never will in a game of this nature. It has been abundantly clear that you can make every unit work in PVE and PVP is a joke anyways. I find that people who thinks PVP in a game of this nature is actually something worth exploring, when all it is just fine tune a few things and let auto do it's work. It is basically a mentally challenged version of chess. Overall, I say if people do not enjoy the game anymore, just abandon it now. I highly doubt anything will change since the developers are using very predatory tactics in their microtransactions. The game uses a business model that will not revive the mass player (F2P) base. The reason the JP version is doing better is because the players understand their own approach to the game and are content with it. I wish everyone best of luck in what ever other game they choose to spend their precious resource on (time).
I thank adison everytime I come across an wotv video, she opened my mind completely to how out of touch brainded these dudes are, dropped the game right when the ""collab"" dropped out of the blue and never looked back, this shit right here just proves to me one thing: whenever gumi is, I am out. Also, game is still doing more than half a million, doubt it will EoS, so at this point you either decide its been enough or accept the beating
Even Right now on 6 June 2024, they didn't even fix what they've done bringing this game to the worse. The Units that should be completely owned by just pulling and maxing their status only, but this game gonna eat all your money further by have to buy souls from the shop. Is this what we call gacha game? I've been fought this from day 1 JP to day 1 Global and I understand why DSDOO has to closed. This SQ Team only hungers for money they don't care about player feeling now. Sad :(
Hahahaha... Spend money on strip club you get a lap dance, spend money on wotv gives you intangible units which if EOS is otw, then no point spending anymore. Great video!
They did this so they can pull the rug on everyone at the same time. They wouldn’t want global version to stop spending when JP version comes to an end a few months sooner. The game is dying fast and they want to pull a fast one on not just the JP version but all of the players at the same time and they can’t do that unless they unify the versions…
A year old video, but I don't know anyone who play that. And less after the latest moves Square have done by killing others gacha games. But then again, not ever surprise by the moves they're doing with they gacha, hell, even Dislyte, another horrible gacha but from a Chinese company, do make stupid moves always, but not as big as Square constantly makes.
Agreed on the FFT portion. Also from the recent FFVIII collab it seems that someone in Gumi is doing all they can to shit on the game. It really pains my heart to see FFVIII units being absolute disappointment while you have FMA units that are in the top of the meta. Hell they even release a top tier FFBE OG to further rub on the wound of FFVIII lovers during the same period of time
The only people having a hard time are the people who want to have everything. Im just fine. Earth & fire had a big burst & now Ive been pretty much just saving. I get Rinoa for free & Ill have to pull for Melnia soon, but aside from that... All good for me. Dont panic, make sure you have a towel & go with the flow. Zen.
I second this. Banner times were extended out so the "crunch" hasn't been nearly as devastating; the VC and new unit step ups last a week longer than they used to, effectively giving us just as much visiore to pull as they used to if the banners ended every week, but with more content to play.
Exactly. There are still 9 unreleased units in global (10 including Khamral). For those who want all of them, good luck with 252 rainbow balls for those. If they consolidate the 9 balls in the boards then that's only less 81, they still need 171, not to mention 54 blossoms. Lels.
Is the game pay to win? Like playing on pvp and got outpowered. Or can u just play the game and finish the campaign, like fftactics or tactics ogre. There are no pay to wind. And our goals are just to procceed to the campaign until we got burnt out...
If you want to just play through the story, then there is absolutely no need to pay at all. If you want participate in high level PvP, I would not recommend picking up this game at all. The barrier to entry for that is too high. If you just want to participate at a casual level, then you should be able to do so after spending enough time playing, without spending any money.
@@CrystalPapa yeah. i think pvp is just an extra and not the main core of the game. just like other games, ff tactics, tactics ogre, fell seal.. they got multiplayer pvp, and it is not the core of the game... too bad. the community is focused on pvp and not the campaign or story line. now devs take this as an oppurtunity to money grab. for new op char or items to compete in pvp... but if the players only play for campaign.. there will only be less pvp features and content. less p2w and focused on expanding storyline that takes over a year to finish the whole campaign adding seasons and episodes.. that would be cool...
CAREFULL my dear friend, i've banned from reddit for say exactly what you say in you video. For whatever reason, Gumi have a Army of employe... Devenders including 3 good dogs, erg, i say 3 content creators who will defend him watever we try do say to open the eyes of this community. BUT I HAVE TO SAY, LOVE YOU VÍDEO, if you want to do a part 2 you can talk about the fact of gumi ever single week reduce de prices, visiores and resources players can adquire.
@scarlet5230 nope, i've been banned because i insist in post the truth, if you see the rules you will se "spam dont get ban" but someone who dont know read like you will dont. please continue paying for us wotv little cow 🐄🐄🐄
Gumi isn't forcing your hand into buying anything. If you don't like the deals, don't buy anything. The game remains fun, even if you don't pull for every single new unit.
I don't get the hate? The units came faster. So what? No one told you all to get all units. You have to be a whale to keep up. We already know what units are coming due to the Japan release and you can just pick what you want to get. Bunch of snowflakes. I've played other gacha games and WOTV is really generous with units. Most gacha games doesn't even have pity. You just pull for a unit until your dry. And the Addison Rae Collab already crashed and burned, so get over it.
I'm sure everyone changed their mind from your immaculate logic and sound arguments. You should definitely spend because the game will be around for 10 years!
Bro this isn't even close to decent gacha game if you played more. Just to give you an example, Epic Seven before 2020 were almost going down the to the ground until they made a major patch called "Re:Birth"implemented qols, free units, free mats and stuffs and save the game. Counterside Global implemented "Origin" update to sync JP and Global server. Although they slightly messed up on the patch day, they make up for it by giving free stuffs, including a FREE awakened unit (which is equivalent to 100 cost units in wotv). I can mention other gacha games that treat their players special, (like Azur Lane, Blue Archive, Honkai Starrail, Punishing Gray Raven, Aether Gazer, and others!) But it's too long to explain here. So don't tell us that wotv is the most generous in the market, to be fair, it's the most money greedy and free to play unfriendly game to date.
Honestly, my opinion about the game hasn't changed about the merger. I still find all my fun in the diverse community tournaments. The players make this game fun! 🫂❤
Quick update: I am still alive (just haven't been well lately).
Hopefully you enjoy this video! :D

The Units that should be completely owned by just pulling and maxing their status only, but this game gonna eat all your money further by have to buy souls from the shop. Is this what we call gacha game? I've been fought this from day 1 JP to day 1 Global and I understand why DSDOO has to closed. This SQ Team only hungers for money they don't care about player feeling now. Sad :(
There's only one thing they could do to compensate us. That's right, world wide exclusive Glaciela.
I dunno, I think we need a Golden Armour Mont or something for that 😅.
Hahahaha... Spend money on strip club you get a lap dance, spend money on wotv gives you intangible units which if EOS is otw, then no point spending anymore. Great video!
The club definitely offers more value! 😂
I am glad you enjoyed the video, Danny!
I'm so glad i quit this game on the early days. I played the alchemist code for a year and that was more than enough mobile games for me
All facts.... poor Agrias....
My man. Miss you lots.
I missed you too, Hershel!
Well this killed any interest I had I'm getting back into this game. Ahh well, back to Star Rail and Arknights I go. Nice video
They did this so they can pull the rug on everyone at the same time. They wouldn’t want global version to stop spending when JP version comes to an end a few months sooner. The game is dying fast and they want to pull a fast one on not just the JP version but all of the players at the same time and they can’t do that unless they unify the versions…
A year old video, but I don't know anyone who play that. And less after the latest moves Square have done by killing others gacha games.
But then again, not ever surprise by the moves they're doing with they gacha, hell, even Dislyte, another horrible gacha but from a Chinese company, do make stupid moves always, but not as big as Square constantly makes.
Agreed on the FFT portion. Also from the recent FFVIII collab it seems that someone in Gumi is doing all they can to shit on the game. It really pains my heart to see FFVIII units being absolute disappointment while you have FMA units that are in the top of the meta. Hell they even release a top tier FFBE OG to further rub on the wound of FFVIII lovers during the same period of time
Not having the FF 8 crew be top tier units is certainly a weird decision. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish with that 😅.
yeah i play this cause final fantasy title in this😢
Yep road to end of service. Its been a wonderful 2 years+ wotv drive. It is what it is
The only people having a hard time are the people who want to have everything. Im just fine. Earth & fire had a big burst & now Ive been pretty much just saving. I get Rinoa for free & Ill have to pull for Melnia soon, but aside from that... All good for me.
Dont panic, make sure you have a towel & go with the flow. Zen.
I second this. Banner times were extended out so the "crunch" hasn't been nearly as devastating; the VC and new unit step ups last a week longer than they used to, effectively giving us just as much visiore to pull as they used to if the banners ended every week, but with more content to play.
Exactly. There are still 9 unreleased units in global (10 including Khamral). For those who want all of them, good luck with 252 rainbow balls for those. If they consolidate the 9 balls in the boards then that's only less 81, they still need 171, not to mention 54 blossoms. Lels.
Since i'm already retired, i don't feels any suffer form my inner anymore 😁
Is the game pay to win? Like playing on pvp and got outpowered.
Or can u just play the game and finish the campaign, like fftactics or tactics ogre. There are no pay to wind. And our goals are just to procceed to the campaign until we got burnt out...
If you want to just play through the story, then there is absolutely no need to pay at all.
If you want participate in high level PvP, I would not recommend picking up this game at all. The barrier to entry for that is too high.
If you just want to participate at a casual level, then you should be able to do so after spending enough time playing, without spending any money.
@@CrystalPapa yeah. i think pvp is just an extra and not the main core of the game. just like other games, ff tactics, tactics ogre, fell seal.. they got multiplayer pvp, and it is not the core of the game...
too bad. the community is focused on pvp and not the campaign or story line. now devs take this as an oppurtunity to money grab. for new op char or items to compete in pvp... but if the players only play for campaign.. there will only be less pvp features and content. less p2w and focused on expanding storyline that takes over a year to finish the whole campaign adding seasons and episodes.. that would be cool...
Upgrades for the Queen!
ASAP!
a better game experience that would benefit would be to get rid of pay to win
Love me 💕💕💕 all is well wotv. Get well soon buddy 🙏
I know you're trying to make fun and enjoyable contents but putting Hiroki's face in the thumbnail is a bit too much there
Hahahahahahahahaha well done my friend hats off 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Editor man!! So it isn’t soo!! 😭
The dark days are here, Kio! 🤧
the last comment about FFT is god
??? JP not getting that regular summon ticket. I played Jp server. Seriously people just choke on rumors and accept whatever feel goods to them...
Gumi is a Mother.
Se tivesse os personagens do ff12
CAREFULL my dear friend, i've banned from reddit for say exactly what you say in you video. For whatever reason, Gumi have a Army of employe... Devenders including 3 good dogs, erg, i say 3 content creators who will defend him watever we try do say to open the eyes of this community. BUT I HAVE TO SAY, LOVE YOU VÍDEO, if you want to do a part 2 you can talk about the fact of gumi ever single week reduce de prices, visiores and resources players can adquire.
@scarlet5230 nope, i've been banned because i insist in post the truth, if you see the rules you will se "spam dont get ban" but someone who dont know read like you will dont. please continue paying for us wotv little cow 🐄🐄🐄
@@gamesdozay585 enjoy your ban my boy HAHAHAHAH
Gumi isn't forcing your hand into buying anything. If you don't like the deals, don't buy anything. The game remains fun, even if you don't pull for every single new unit.

I don't get the hate? The units came faster. So what? No one told you all to get all units. You have to be a whale to keep up. We already know what units are coming due to the Japan release and you can just pick what you want to get. Bunch of snowflakes. I've played other gacha games and WOTV is really generous with units. Most gacha games doesn't even have pity. You just pull for a unit until your dry. And the Addison Rae Collab already crashed and burned, so get over it.
I'm sure everyone changed their mind from your immaculate logic and sound arguments. You should definitely spend because the game will be around for 10 years!
Bro this isn't even close to decent gacha game if you played more. Just to give you an example, Epic Seven before 2020 were almost going down the to the ground until they made a major patch called "Re:Birth"implemented qols, free units, free mats and stuffs and save the game.
Counterside Global implemented "Origin" update to sync JP and Global server. Although they slightly messed up on the patch day, they make up for it by giving free stuffs, including a FREE awakened unit (which is equivalent to 100 cost units in wotv). I can mention other gacha games that treat their players special, (like Azur Lane, Blue Archive, Honkai Starrail, Punishing Gray Raven, Aether Gazer, and others!) But it's too long to explain here. So don't tell us that wotv is the most generous in the market, to be fair, it's the most money greedy and free to play unfriendly game to date.
Lol, delusion AND tone deafness in one glorious package. By all means, give Gumi as much money as you want!
WotV is dead. EVERCRISIS HYPE !!
Same trash, different shape
Honestly, my opinion about the game hasn't changed about the merger. I still find all my fun in the diverse community tournaments. The players make this game fun! 🫂❤
