Been playing this game for about a month now, just finished the main story, and im so surprised at how amazing the quality is for a f2p game, kinda crazy how they reward you sooo much for playing and progressing the story, i have 5 of the fancy gatcha banner outfits and well over 300 outfit pieces all for free. I've collected so much of the main paid currency in game for free that i don't even feel the need to spend money. Highly recommend that don't spend any of your resources until you understand what they mean! Wonderful video <3
I'm so glad you took time to warn about the microtransactions. As someone in the tech industry, I know there are PhD Psychology researchers from around the world working at top tech companies researching how to create the most addictive online experiences. I'm sure microtransactions are no different. I see it as no different than gambling for sure.
NO WAYYY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR HER TO TRY THIS
Games like these want to tempt you with getting everything, but a good tip is that you only pull on the limited banners for items that you really want. If you do not absolutely love half of the items in a outfit on a limited banner, it is not worth it because you will not get your time or money's worth. Many of the limited banners will come back eventually so there will be another chance to get the items. All that being said, Infinity Nikki is one of my favourite cozy games and the exploration was one of the reasons I decided to play it. There is just so much to do. Glad to see another cozy gamer giving it a try.
Long time viewer that doesn't miss a video, but I comment rarely. Thank you SO much for your thoughts and comments on microtransactions. I wish more people spoke about them with this level of transparency and honesty!
I play soooooooo many hours without paying anything, you have just to be patient and careful :) But the game is so much fun and cozy <3
Another info, the limited outfits are mostly for aesthetic, only Mira Crown fashion battle low key requires them but ALWAYS read every 4 stars sub-attributes. They have sub attributes that will help with Mira Crown.
I love this game so much, I have been playing since December. It is so refreshing to find a game specifically designed for girls and women. This game also features some of my favorite parts of other games like collecting plants, bugs, jumping, searching for hidden chests, and collecting cute outfits.
Ahhh I’m so excited to see you try this! Seriously one of the coziest games I’ve ever played 💗 It is a gacha which is a pretty polarizing genre, and as someone who has played a lot of them I think everyone should do their research/be educated about what that means and whether or not that’s something they would enjoy. These types of games do use tactics to make you feel tempted, and I totally get that this genre is not everyone’s cup of tea! For some it's better to avoid it all together and that's okay. For learning how it works I recommend guide videos, it can definitely feel overwhelming at first especially if you're not familiar with gachas. In my experience, as long as you’re selective with what you pull for (and don't tend to fall into FOMO) you won’t feel the need to spend. There’s tons of completely free craftable outfits you can get just from exploration alone, no currency (in game or irl) needed. There’s so much in this game that doesn’t require a single cent to enjoy ❤️(I do hope that because this game has done very well globally, that they will eventually add a wider selection of skin tones and more diverse hairstyles)
So all the different currencies (well all the different menus really) can be overwhelming trying to figure out what is for what. So the only paid currency is the blue diamonds💎 and with those you can only buy a small selection of clothes that are pay only and then the different crystal packs you saw at the beginning of this video. The pink diamonds you earn in game and can actually get quite a bit by doing different quests and styling challenges. You use those to buy the resonate crystals. There's pink resonate which are for the limited time banners (special outfits) and then the blue ones are for the permanent banners (I'm f2p and have got 1 full outfit in this section). I highly recommend saving up 10 crystals at a time and only roll for 10 as then you are guaranteed something new (lots of dupes) and after so many rolls you are guaranteed 4star/5star, etc. I would only save and roll for the ones you really want as it does take a lot of rolls to get the whole fit. Sorry for the novel and so much info, but hope its somewhat helpful! Lol.
i've been playing since launch and i'm so obsessed- i genuinely don't think there's been a single day where i haven't played. this game, compared to so many other gacha games, rewards the players so much. i was literally in shock at first because of how much they give us for free.
I'm just getting into gaming! Thank you for sharing this game it looks so fun!
Oh girl you will LOVE this game, especially just the day to day always discovering new gorgeous places, trying to create fun outfits, and honestly my favorite part is taking photos in all the pretty areas!! I’m astounded by how the game is growing on me to become one of my favorite games over time!!
Omg I am so glad you've finally tried this! I've been playing since December and it's my new obsession, I fully underestimated how well-made this game is!
watching you play this was so enjoyable, i love a cozy town!!!!
Fully agree on being weary with microtransactions! I bought a few outfits for this game when I have extra cash, but I personally don’t spend on the gacha pools. I find that this game is quite generous with the free rewards, if you spend time saving up you can complete the rare outfits without spending any real money, you just need to skip some banners. Hope you have fun with this game it’s become one of my all time favs!
I don't want to spoil anything but you can use resonate without spending money you just need to use your items in-game wisely foraging playing a lot in it. I love that in this game its a bit of a longer process and sometimes you can't get everything. But realistically you wont be using them all 😂
OMG so hyped to see you pick up this game!! as others have said if you intend to keep playing I'd def suggest reading up on the gacha mechanics so you're familiar with all the currencies. and I will say for the events, it is currently cny so the game has waaayy more going on than previous patches, the next few updates will likely be a lot less overwhelming with the limited content.
I’ve been obsessed with this game! It’s such a brain off game for me and it’s so fun <3 I haven’t put any money into it and honestly haven’t felt the need to, they do a great job of providing plenty of diamonds so you don’t have to pay to get the cute outfits!
