After coming back to this game about a year ago there had been some short lived encouraging factors that made me think the game would continue to improve, but ever since the implementation of PvP and 7-star medals, the marketing department has not only taken over, but is actively trying to abuse the kind of people that spend too much on this type of gatcha game. With 7-star medals, which are absurdly powerful and completely took over the game, you either have to rank high at PvP to get items to evolve your old medals, or spend money on banners to completely replace them. The PvP system is set up so that the powerful become more powerful while those that don’t rank get further behind. Then they started tuning PvE content for 7-star and new banner medals almost immediately to get people to pull on banners. And the banners have been coming in a flood, while fewer events than ever show up, and when they do they have few or no currency to pull on banners. The latest abuse is a special board that provides bonus damage, but can only be completed by doing 30 pulls on the newest banners, which would cost approximately $600. And the buffs are temporary... This game is crumbling with current design, and the marketing department seems to be trying to extract as much money as possible before everyone gets fed up and leaves. New players, stay far, far away. You have zero chance of catching up and competing.

I am a lifelong fan of Kingdom Hearts who has been playing this game since the month it was launched. As a free to play player, I’ve struggled at times as my Medals lagged behind those who played, but it never felt like I was locked out of the game because of it. Whenever a new powerful Medal was introduced, I could press my luck, and if I didn’t get it, I’d be able to a few months down the line. This has not been the case the past six months. When the PVP mode was introduced, it heavily favored paid players, but once given feedback from the community, Square-Enix made efforts to improve it. Now, it’s obvious they don’t care. Without the Supernova ability, you might as well not bother, and every banner with the ability has had its guarantee locked behind a paywall. I understand that SE has no real obligation to its f2p community, but the VIP rewards have gone from bonus content to full on exploitation. The only thing left for f2p players is the story, but we’re losing any motivation for that as we’re six months behind the Japanese story, and with Kingdom Hearts III on the horizon, we will be trudging through another round of pointless filler while the JP community receives important plot developments. It’s been demonstrated in the past that mission cutscenes can be translated simultaneous to the JP game, so it’s absolutely inexcusable that the gap continues. At this point, the only thing keeping f2p uses coming back is Stockholm Syndrome.

Update: downgrade to 1 stars. The game is only getting worse with too many high price jewel banners, not enough jewels to pull, and challenges that only a small percentage of players can complete. Fairy medals used to evolve to 7 star medals are only provided to the best of the best in PVP through silver and gold tickets. Munny is no longer a need and makes for useless moogle medals. This may be my last update as I see no entertainment value by spending hours to achieve nothing but cid medals as challenges are too difficult win. —————— What was once a great game, has finally met its downfall. The story mode and key blade system of medals and power ups keeps this game in a 3 Star range. The problem now is Player vs Player. If you are not already the strongest, don’t ever expect to be. This new system is highly problematic, consuming large amounts of time with minimal reward to improvement for your avatar, medals and key blades. I believe this is SE’s way of signing off and letting its players decide when to retire. I suggest not paying, and going as far as the free game allows and then signing off for good. I have been paying the weekly $15 only to find myself struggling to get anywhere and continue to gradually get weaker. Paying should provide some benefit when I just feel cheated and robbed of game satisfaction. Thanks for a good run SE, but this is no longer my go to game.
