Steam and mobile...

[Yuen]

Are mobile and Steam versions linked? Are you able to import your mobile account to Steam and vice versa?

I assume Steam has an early access period because they need to change certain things to accommodate for the AR/location based stuff. I understand in Japan they've this thing about extra bonus for playing with guys nearby so you might want to say go to the local McDonalds where other people are playing the same game for the extra bonus. But this feature makes no sense when you're playing on stationary PCs since you can't just haul one to where there are other players.

Well I know there's this feature that if you play right near the guild that you choose to stay with.. and I mean REALLY close, then you're able to use the supply button on the map that gives you some extra stamina. (Like a pokestop getting items in Pokemon GO) People who are using emulators atm are faking their location to stay near the guilds for that button I believe...

If it can be linked to the mobile version, then I can see the playing nearby option as being a positive feature to have. Otherwise, unless you use Steam on a laptop, then it is basically useless for PC players.

as soon as i read mobile I knew there was going to be a crap ton of microtransaction, and that nowadays in games is like the WORSE things devs can do, I kinda wish this was a single player game. I would prefer to play it offline and pay a premium price for the FULL game instead of infection it with mobile quality gameplay.

I played this in Japanese for about 6 months before I heard they were developing an English release (I stopped at that point on the Japanese server as I knew my progress would not carry over) however while playing the Japanese version I didn't spend a cent on the game. In months and months of playing never did I feel the need to enhance the game with real money as I do in other games.
I didn't even understand the text or audio and it was an addicting blast to play.

Now that the game is in English I am beyond in love and fully hooked. It has a bit of a learning curve (as do almost all asian mmos) however this games content is 100% playable and enjoyable without spending a dime. It is not pay to win like other asian MMO mobile games like Granblu Fantasy or FGO. The game has so many players world-wide that they get enough income to make the game amazing for free players and they don't need to harass you for money like western mobile games do. I have never once been asked or encouraged to spend money. There's no tutorial that gives you special currency (in this game it is Jade and S-Jade), shows you how you can speed along things in the game by spending it and then forces you to spend what they gave you during the tutorial to encourage you to buy more. It doesn't work like that at all.
Further, there would be no way to make this game single player. In order to make it in this game you have to interact fully with the community every day. You have to add friends, send friendship and likes, join a guild and interact with people daily, sending items and receiving thank you bonuses for doing so in order to maximize the currencies associated with doing those things. The game rewards you handsomly for doing so each day and offers ample opportunity to capitalize on this system. If you go into the game with a "solo climb" mentality, you will fail miserably and quickly and will not enjoy this game at all.

"Microtransactions" in this games context simply mean, if you want to buy special currency to get a fancy skin or something "extra" to add to the base game to make it look better to you then you can. You don't want to do that? You don't have to and you are given tons of opportunity to earn those things rather than buy them. In my opinion grinding for skin tickets to get that special one for my favorite shikigami is half the fun, but I digress...

You experience the same game and have equal chance at climbing the PVP ranks/Guild ranks as players who buy stuff there's only one stream not a "free" and a "pay-to-win" like in other games where theres a discernable difference between the have's and have-nots. It's fair and honest. You can enjoy the full game the same as someone who does spend money to get skins or bonus content because it is just that, bonus content, not required content.

If you take the time to read the info boxes about the different currencies (and I won't lie there are alot of them), help and interact with other players often, learn to work the games mechanics correctly, spend your currencies properly (Hint: Upgrade your Realm to maximize extra AP production) and fully utilize all daily events and quests you will never run out of Action Points (AP) and you will always have in game money to burn on various things. I have never run out of AP I don't think and I play this game roughly 8 hours a day at work. Trust me, this game is an experience above the rest of the "gatcha" collection style games out there. There's a reason it has won as many awards as it has, including Google Play's Most Competitive Game in 2017 and Facebooks Mobile Game of the Year in 2016.

Lumping this game into the "mobile" category is doing it a grand disservice and is highly unfair to it as this isn't a typical mobile game, but rather an amazing MMORPG that is simply available to play on a mobile device. There is a big difference.

do you have a discord comunity or guild i could join :3

It would probably work like FB Gameroom and mobile at the moment. You get logged out of one when you log into the most recent device.

Good thing about this game is, you do not need to spend real money in this to progress. You can spend real money to boost you along but there are no gated content which requires real money ot forced you to wait until your energy is filled, the energy you get is by the boat load you never have to worry about using it all up and there are heaps of ways to get more energy. Only hard part is you really need to grind if you want to beat the story as there are a few walls if you are too weak but again you do not need real money only time
