JK aesthetic is eternally peak for JP, suddenly there is one in a fictional fantasy and sci-fi setting.
Shiranui Flare papa instantly likes her.
Kuro gets to use more PGR expy, Yuka Saotome.
Wait, hang on. I haven't played ZZZ in a hot minute. They removed the TV mazes?! That was at least a third of what I liked about the game!
I'm one of the few having interest in TV-mode, they made some improvement to make TV-section feels smoother. But they must follow the money. TV-mode felt bad to play and presentation wasn't great especially for some long exploration missions.
Any old TV contents, they are still there. It's that they stop making new TV contents since patch 1.4 December last year.
A lot of stuffs (both changes and added new things) they made are to fit mobile phones preferences or at least the majority of people actually paying the game. Many of them are beneficial to the game, basically more weekly rewards (leveling up mats or rng gear crafting) to progress for lesser time consumption.
About losing identity, it's somewhere 60% to 70% portion. Because pretty much the daily farm and end game modes stay the same. The story direction and presentation is whatever, I'm somewhat salty with it but I prefer to let people play it to see for themselves and those still like it keep playing.
I still think there's part that are okay and can be intriguing, but not enough (for now) to hook me back in.
