A lot has happened since my last post, such as the Fantasy Fair being taken down after a handful of hours due to a glitch I can’t really comment on as I did not experience it myself and got through the Fantasy Fair with no problems. The Fair didn’t end up returning until late December, but honestly, it was much easier to complete the second time around as they removed the requirement of filling requests from people and having to have been sent Look-its as well. While the game still requires other players in the sense of liking outfits and things, it’s now fully in your own hands over needing to wait from other players to essentially interact with you.
Of course, there is the slight unfair aspect that those who did finish the event before and thus, could do so again (honestly, I would’ve preferred to NOT have to redo it, but oh well), would receive a second of the one-time-only event patterns. I did use some, but not all. I’m not sure if I will, but honestly, I don’t really like the one-time only patterns. Not even just events, but the frustrating gachapon system as well. It’d be nice if once you earned them, you unlocked them and just would need to use e-points like anything else if you didn’t have a pattern. Or could use keys to permanently unlock them. Just anything over what it currently is.
Going back to Fantasy Fair 2.0, the most exhausting part of it ended up being that I constantly had to delete items for certain tasks that required liking items so I can’t say enough how thrilled I was that this update included an increase from 5,000 to 6,000. This made going through the Dramatic Fair SO MUCH more enjoyable between the requests similar to Fantasy Fair’s redux and not having to pause every 2 seconds to clear out things from my item box.
In all honesty, I didn’t care as much for anything from the Dramatic Fair. As nice as the new dress is, I prefer sleeves to gloves, though, the capelet covers it kind of nice, but it also ends up hiding the necklace which is really pretty. I would say the crown is my favorite thing from this Fair.
There was a nice furniture item too, though, I don’t know if I liked it enough to replace anything and well, the Show room is still a bit too small… The wallpaper and flooring are kind of pretty, but I prefer pinker. I may consider the floor though.
The balcony and pillars of the wallpaper are neat, but I don’t care much for the empty frame walls.
My main goal in general has been still working on leveling up characters. At this point, I have 133/200 at the maximum level needed to have all an NPC’s unlocks. That said, I actually only have 12 patterns and 12 photo poses left– everything else is physical related (IE: Hair color, eye color, skin color, make-up, or lip color) which I don’t plan to change at all since nobody has a decent ponytail. I still want to unlock everything because that’s just how I am, but I’ll be happy when I at least get patterns done.
Getting Orihime’s dress is probably the thing I want most which I should hopefully be able to unlock after running into her 2-3 more times? There may be some other stuff, but that’s the only unlock I’m sure of when it comes to the 12 patterns I’m still missing. I’m sure I may be missing some gachapon patterns too, but the rates are still absolutely atrocious. Recently, I’ve been trying to get the Heart-shaped sunglasses from the FUN Cocoon’s Gachapon machine, but even after 700+ tickets just from when I started going for this (likely well over 1,000 since I started playing as it was the machine I’ve pulled the most from), I’ve yet to get it even once. It’s not even a “super rare”, it’s just a normal rare/not a common and I have no idea why the rates are such garbage.
I hope that’s something that will also be updated in the future. Despite my complaints though, honestly, having that Item Box increase has made the game so much more enjoyable for me again. I’m hoping that since I’m trying to only grab items I really like, I won’t hit it as quickly this time. I do feel bad not liking as often anymore though.
Similarly, I’m so happy we finally have color filters. While I’m still kind of baffled about how they work (some items do overlap in colors and there’s no pink), it is still a huge help over all so I’m thrilled to have it. I hope we’ll continue to see more quality of life improvements. I also will always hope for more inventory space and a bigger Showroom.
Anyway, with that out of the way, it’s time for the “Random Showcase of some of the outfits I’ve received from other Players” section. Thank you to those who sent Lookits!
Besides that, here are some outfits I enjoyed making for NPCs and other players:
I’d honestly love to see more ways to use the Lookit Book such as being able to save outfits you make for others to it or being able to make outfits for it without changing your own outfit in the process.
As for the other stuff from the Event, the new borders and poses are cute, but I’m not sure I’ll actually use any. I would like to see a pink version of the gem one in the future though.
I would say the blue gemstone one and both Lunar New Year ones are my favorites of the new frames. There were some new poses as well, but I don’t know if I’ll really use any. The Mwah one’s end pose is kind of cute though.
I actually ended up getting more enjoyment out of trying a megaphone pose I hadn’t used. Look at her cute little smile.
Anyway, with everything done with the Dramatic Fair, this ended up being my current Showroom now:
And as you may have noticed, I switched out my ribbon for the crown (which is honestly more of a tiara).
I’ll likely play more later as I try to continue leveling up characters. If I make any decent progress, I’ll update this post, otherwise, I probably won’t talk much about it until my next update for the game.
Edit: After over 3+ hours of playing to get her to show up just two more times, I finally unlocked Orihime’s dress:
I don’t understand why it isn’t weighted to characters who still have things to unlock. It drives me absolutely nuts. I only have 4 NPC Muses who prefer ACT left to still get unlocks from. Still 47 overall though.
Something else that also drives me nuts:
I can’t with these two.
To end this a bit more positively, some more cute outfits I was sent:
