u/Striking-Error-7900

Rem needs correction for making me a gambling addict. I hit 10x 3-4 times already. Am I just simping for her cute expressions?

It was my go-to after getting every new character.

Nanally and Haniel? Daffodill and Zankou? Lacrimosa and Tomato Devil?! Or... Alice and Rabi?

I've been enjoying any interactions between the female cast and am very much excited to see who Hotta has prepared as cute additions to Zero's harem. There's so many funny interactions to explore, such as... Would Poinsette stick to her sisters or find friends in her age group? How would Nanally react to Zankou getting redeemed? Who would Zero finally introduce his secret girlfriend, Chiz, to?

Leave your favorite pair of female characters below.

How dare Hotta keep showing her and give little to no information about her at all? Instant Bond 10 material. I need my cute and funny lolita NOW😭

Unlock requirement: Tycoon Lvl 16

Reaching Puka Lvl 7 also unlocks Puka Boot Camp, where Appraisers can spend Fons to boost character stats.

And other rewards from the Pukaland Fest Special Gift Pack.

Collect all 3 Porsches to unlock Porsche Club free rewards.

Wanted to pull first before sharing my opinion on the matter, but I guess I could give you something to think about if you are still deciding.

We still don't know if there's any pattern to how Hotta decides which vehicle will be the next Fons Gacha vehicle. I mean, the previous 2 became best in their own category. You were saving up for Pendragon? Bad news, Porsche powercreeped the most desirable car in-game and now can be seen in every racing match and is used to complete every racing challenge. You wanted to flex with a motorcycle that is more usable than a car (thanks to the ability to summon bikes anywhere) while not losing much to cars in terms of speed? That was me and guess what? Bad news again, Draco is faster, drifts better and can jump, then rotate before landing. If you try hard enough, you could even use Draco as a blender!

Powercreeping doesn't seem to be the case for Tide. It's the first ownable water vehicle, but you can barely figure out any use case for it. Unlike GTA 5's map, NTE's map isn't designed with water vehicles in mind. Usually you don't use jetski that much in GTA 5, but at least you got memorable story missions, both underwater and on the water's surface. Maybe if Hotta releases a new city inspired by Venice and floods the map with lots of water canals, having a jetski would be more desirable, who knows?

My second concern is... Tide doesn't feel like probably the best water vehicle. I can't help but feel Tide is just a regular jetski, not the fastest, not the coolest, not the most comfortable to use. I can't bring myself to say I'm even enjoying using Tide in these events or in test drive... But why would Hotta include Tide in Fons Gacha, if they most likely will powercreep it, like they did with releasing Porsche and Draco? I don't know, at any moment they could release a Motorboat, Small Yacht or even Submarine that would be faster, have more features + you could invite someone.

That's pretty much all I wanted to say about Tide. Hope my opinion was useful. I guess I don't have a choice or control over whether I should pull (pic 2), since Nanally's swimsuit is a must-have to me...

Usually I just laugh at tourists and try to ignore them, but this is just sad. So much hate and serious accusations over fictional characters — FROM THE MODS. I don't even see Linko as a child in the first place, not to mention other chars. Why can't Linko just be Linko?

Even sadder knowing how it is in Ananta's official sub. If they could make it work, why can't Hotta?

I have a feeling I need a less controversial topic this time. So, maybe music?

While doing research for this post, I found out they keep adding new albums to listen to via the in-game radio. Buying them all could be pricey, considering Fons is a pull currency now. Sadly, I didn't have a chance to fall in love with them early enough to mention them here. I did buy the Persona collab albums as soon as I could tho, just to listen to Last Strike.

There's a song called Tayge Tayge Rhythm that you can get for free from Sidd in the Music Shop. I don't remember if this played somewhere before, so I feel like I'm missing some context. I'm enjoying vibing to it anyway. Kudos to the devs for still pushing Taygedo even though they acknowledge how hated he became in 1.0, at least in global.

From the free radio soundtracks, I love Elysium the most. This song stayed on repeat on my radio just because of the vocal part. Second place would go to MissionEleven.

I called racing one of the selling points of the game and may have mentioned how much I loved it in NTE. Imagine my excitement when I was racing in a new area and found out they added a new Eurobeat BGM. You can find it on YouTube by typing "Duskmoor Racing Theme".

Other honorable mentions go to:

BAC lobby BGM. A great theme to start the game. Feels nice every time you return here.

Tomato Devil's themes, both Pursuit and Boss Battles. I miss 1.0 :(

Listening to Rabbit Hole's BGM makes me less frustrated during farming for cartridges.

Would love to know what kind of music others love listening to. Feel free to share your taste, and good luck to those pulling for Linko!

Linko's limited board will be available: September 9, 2026 (after update) – September 30, 2026, 05:59 (UTC+8)

I feel like it's an ideal time for this discussion, now that we got another interesting game mode. Since 1.1's Underground Circuit, I've been seeing mixed feedback on the PvP aspects of the game... which I never truly understood.

Is it because people hate interacting with other people? Or is competing with others while playing on mobile too hard? Valid reasons, but not to the degree of hate I've been seeing. So what's the deal?

I had fun in Underground Circuit. It was absurd kind of fun, but still. You can't add other players to your friends list here, but you can see their nicknames, and often you would end up in the same lobby again. So, that's how it was for me: I played with the same players over and over, they also started recognizing me, and yeah.

Another new game mode in the same 1.1 version, Fight Club, didn't really click with me, but still, nothing to hate. Yeah, it's buggy and may be hard at first, but it's easy to master your fighting skills. After a few tries, I started getting 1st place pretty frequently. Later, when the event ended, I used this game mode a few times to spend City Stamina and farm resources needed to upgrade characters.

1.2 gave us Shadow-n-Seek and Going, Going, Gone! Nothing to say about the first one, it's just hide-and-seek, but in NTE. If I wanted to play it, I could just download any game of the same genre from Google Play... The second one is more interesting and, honestly, it deserved its own post at the time in my opinion, because it's a gem behind a simple idea. I felt like I was in a Liar Game. Will definitely return later when I can, just for fun and if Hotta makes any updates.

Now about the most recent one, Volley Star. Genuinely? I love it. Also easy to master, with not much need to level up characters' skills. And, I mean, you get pretty good views and could stare at Iroi and Zankou even if you didn't buy their skins. The thing is, I'm super surprised there isn't any multiplayer mode, not even with friends (not that I have any). It seems like a missed opportunity to implement an optional PvP mode. Matches against NPCs become repetitive, you're going to win no matter what using the same one strategy. But there is definitely room to strategize and team up against an opponent, things you currently can't do against AI.

I have a feeling Hotta might really want Volley Star to succeed and receive a good reception, hence avoiding the "another PvP activity" label for now. But considering the currently unavailable "Open Match" option, we might get PvP matchmaking soon.

What's your opinion? Are you on the haters' side, or perhaps share the same feelings as me? Maybe you don't care about activities at all and I'm reading too much into this? Share your thoughts. :)

I don't think there would be that many people who watched Brand New Day, but anyway.

I was reading that scene with Poinsette and immediately thought, "I think I know what's going to happen. No way he won't say the 'You have me' line," and then chuckled loudly when it happened. Didn't expect that Poinsette, among all the cast, would receive the second-most romantic scene after that Nanally one. Truly wife and anni limited board material. 😭💢

What are you hoping to get from future versions of NTE?

I'll go a little off-topic. Ananta is getting updates and is going to release soon, and it can be good for NTE. Kinda bad to lose players, but others could get TWO good urban open-world games in anime style. Even if you are going to totally ignore Ananta (there might be a few reasons...), competition with another game might encourage devs to do better.

I doubt devs read this sub or anything other than what is written in their surveys, but anyway, let's share what we are playing for and what we expect.

I'm concerned about the quality control after seeing certain posts in the leaks sub, but I started my journey in NTE without expecting some high AAA game quality in the first place, so I'm good. I'm more interested in what the devs have planned for us and how they will handle current problems with the game.

I'll list questions that keep me interested in NTE.

How will other cities look? I mean, are they going to be from different cultures like in other gachas, or have the same style but with new sights, places of interest, and references to popular anime?

Will they address the current problem with Fons? So we could at least save up to actually buy something expensive while going all-in with mystery boxes every 1 or 2 patches.

How will they handle half-anniversary and anniversary events?

Sex update when

How will the plot evolve over time? Will they make more mature themes? Will interactions become spicier? Are they going to make relationships canon, at least 1 of them?

...Will they release another limited character with Sakiri's body type? Any potential swimsuit skins for them?

It will take a whole year to get answers to my questions. I don't know if I'll still be as interested in half a year, but at least I was and am invested in this game since 1.0. And while Ananta might become more popular and successful at being "anime GTA", we still don't know if there is going to be fan service in the same way NTE has it. From what I've seen, they are playing it safe with their marketing right now, only hinting at dating mechanics in the previous trailer, not showing whether it's just friendly hangouts or something romantic.

I really hope I didn't offend anyone! I've seen so many comments from both sides, trying to downplay each other as if it's a race. It's just games, meant to be played for fun and to keep you in a good mood at the end.

Ah, it's about Zankou, right...

Trust me, she will become dateable next time, right after >!BAC releases her siscon step-sister from jail.!<

It's crazy how fast time flies! Like, we were excited about the 999 Nights game mode and all... And now 1.2 is already ending. Is there anything to talk about?

I don't want to downplay NTE, but I didn't enjoy the lack of plot, if we totally ignore the gameplay part (which I'm not sure is good either). I mean, there was a plot indeed. But at the end, my reaction was... that's it?

One of my problems was that I didn't feel attached to either Shinku or Iroi. Maybe exploring a Genshin-like map wasn't a good idea if you want players to have good first impressions of new characters? I don't know.

At the same time, I can't say they're badly written or uninteresting. I have seen many theories and discussions from the community about Iroi here and there. And the official animated teasers from the devs were good. But I would appreciate it if all of this was actually in the story quest, not on YouTube or only in the characters' profile information.

I know 1.2 was supposed to be a chill version, but they can do better. I just hope the way they made me love Nanally and others wasn't a one-time thing.

See ya in 1.3! At least next time there will be plot to discuss...

Zankou's limited board will be available: August 19, 2026 (after update) – September 9, 2026, 05:59 (UTC+8)

Less than 24 hours left until we find out who will get swimsuit skins. Who deserves them the most? What type of events do you want the most? What are your QoL hopes? Let's cope!

I won't get tired of repeating that Daffodill should become inviteable! And the devs might upset me tomorrow, but that won't stop me from coping for 1.4, 1.5, and so on...

Another thing I'm coping for is that they'll add more variety to interactions. They're going in the right direction with what they made with sleeping and hugging with Iroi. The more, the better.

A Photo Mode update would also be appreciated, since I find it very restrictive as is... Lastly, I would be glad to have another permanent way to earn Fons if we're going to stick with Fons gacha.

It's more than clear now that collecting bond skins will be a long journey if you have multiple favs. As I recall, in 1.0, players were complaining that the 10 gifts per day / 3 per character limit was too low. I was having the same problem, since I'm also playing Blue Archive, where there's no limit and you can raise bond levels immediately however you want. But now I don't even reach the limit?..

Devs made one big mistake that hurt my gameplay. They made Fons a pull currency with Fons gacha. I can imagine there is at least one more person other than me who is stuck at City Tycoon level 39 just because of the 3-property requirement.

The problem is, you will never have enough Fons for everything. You would want to buy new cool properties, decorations, skins for characters, cars, liveries, and mods for cars... And by the time you collect enough Fons for one thing, they will drop three more. Now I don't even bother buying gifts to raise bond levels with three characters at the same time.

Don't know who to work on next. If nothing catches my eye on tomorrow's livestream, then probably Iroi? I really want to test this animation myself.

How was your experience? Whose bond skins did you choose to get?

P.S. My girlfriends are too cute!
