This was known for a while now, but now we can see for ourselves. In fact, I am having a difficult time getting this to not activate. It keeps activating when the battle starts and I'm not even sure why. "When Makoto buffs an ally" seems to also include himself as an ally. Moon Phase also seems to count as a buff. Which he is giving himself constantly. So. This may surpass the Ex Machina weapon description.

Additionally, he receives both damage buff weapons from the weapon description (shown in comments). Which, at max forge, is actually basically identical to the damage boost of the 5* weapon. So. The 4* weapon damage boost is actually technically better, because for the 5* weapon it only activates off of attacks with 4 hits, unless you have him at A1, it won't activate for S1 usage. S1 isnt his big damage, but it's still something to note.

That means the only difference between the 4 and 5 star is the 5 star giving 16.3% Crit rate (and the typical 5 star Attack difference). Which is very good! But the gap is significantly lessened, as their damage boost numbers are equal.

I and others perpetuated the thought early on that the 4 star weapon was useless. I apologize for that one. The game never ceases to humble you by showing you that you can't take what it says seriously until you test it yourself.

I noticed the Steam numbers have tripled so I'm sure it's a server issue since P3 and all.
Pretty lame that it's right on the day a lot of people would play the game, hope they keep playing and donate a lot of money so we can have P5X updates forever.

During the first makoto niijima banner I had amazing luck, getting her before guaranteed 5 star or twice in a role. Now that I've been doing selective roles I literally had to hit the 110 pulls every single time for a 5 star. Is that normal? I pulled like 660 times and got only the 6 guaranteed 5 stars

I got the update and the whole intro plays and works but on pressing start it's going to black screen then saying network error after half a minute. Some are saying it's congestion but some are saying a bug, which is it?

There were some questions about whether to pull Makoto or not before, so this is just to put it out there. For people who are on the fence about Makoto and short on funds, you can wait until the end of his banner before deciding to pull or save for the anniversary unit.

I will note this means you will not be able to use him for the current ranking contents and Astrolabe (he absolutely destroys everything with just one enemy in the current season fwiw) but it may save you from making a wrong choice if you are short on rolls.

I don't want to get too technical with this but let's just say I popped open the BIOS for the game and looked inside. Turns out the issue is that in the code they just use one name for each character in the game. So for an example Motoha Arai is just "Motoha" in the code. Well now they added "Makoto" but that accidentally deleted the old "Makoto" who was in the code.

So good news is they probably know this is the problem now.

Bad news is Makoto Niijima has been deleted from the game and they're now scrambling to quickly add in Tails from Sonic to replace her with as an apology.
