Overall there was never any huge concerns for me when it comes to PGR cause at the end of the day it's still a great game. I put time and money into the game and I'm seeing it devolve in real time. But I recognize that things are changing and what direction they want to go. 😞

THE NEW BANNER they're trying to implement is another thing that baffling to me. PGR has linear powercreep and every character has a specific role that barely has a decent replaceable. Who greenlit that characters should be limited? And why include the weapon and the CUB in this limited mess?

Referring to the recent Liv patch leaks btw.

If Liv does not have a single moment with all her fellow GR members I will lose it. Legitimately. And no, just SKK does not count.

I still haven't forgiven them for what they did to Selena and Ayla on chap 34; their reunion off-screened.

Now I'll be mentioning the increasing amount of love content that's been coming out lately. I understand it's gacha and their goal is to sell the character, but this is just so overwhelmingly ridiculous. Kuro, you don't have to write every character into some pandering mess. You have great writers.

Assuming they are at equal investment, btw. But IDK what they were thinking with Veronica. Her SFX sounds like she's hitting enemies with a wet noodle. Half her kit is pasta'd from other characters. I just don't understand.

Now, characters. Vera's debut completely eclipsing Pyroath's dmg on release even with a support set meanwhile VERONICA barely dents Physical bosses. Forget trying to beat Selena's dmg. Then there's Ignition where she doesn't even do half as much as Startrail there even with a full DPS set either.

But then somewhere in the middle, things changed. Every single female character had to have some sort of deep affection for SKK. Not even camaraderie, just straight up want to get some of that a*s. For some characters like GR team and Selena it's excusable but it just keeps happening over and over.

To start, I consider myself an older player. I've been playing since middle of Laurel's patch and what really drew me in were the way the story and characters interacted with each other. Each single character had a role to play and none were more important than the other.

For all purposes I will not mention any spoilers/leaks. I don't like them as they harm player experience but just know I've seen them and I will mention that there are leaks but not the content in said crash out.
