That's why I attempted to purchase some for the GSSR as soon as they posted the comparison between old and new prices. But they saw it coming, of course.

Guys calm down, if you calculate the increase, it's probably approximately your local VAT. Shitty, yeah, but understandable. They don't even get to keep it, it goes to your local government.

Dude, there is a difference between paying 67-72 euros and 95-100ish euros. Especially when FGO NA dont have a pity system like Genshin Impact yet. And even with the pity system, it's still 400ish euros in hope to get the rate up servant if you are as unlucky as a Irish.

It's actually because of Apple updating its price tier on its store. I don't get the whole thing, but I'm pretty sure the extra money they're charging now will make it into Apple's pockets. For "fairness"' sake they updated the prices on Android too. That way everyone gets fucked in the ass, no need to be jealous.

I'm definitely looking forward to trying to get that girl next year. Will see how that goes. But these videos are fun to enjoy in the meantime.

Thanks. I'm aiming for NP3 on her LB6 recollection banner. Truthfully I want to aim higher but I'm interested in what they have in store for LB7. LB6 SSRs(plus the recent summer powercreep and Rikyu) are all so strong that you can't but wonder if they're gonna release even stronger stuff on LB7.

Apple raised the pricing to adjust for the weakening currencies in various Asian countries and Europe against the USD. They also recently further scaled back production on iPhones due to weaker demand, which translates to an even poorer performance financially. Problem is, I doubt they will bring the prices back down if the trend reverses. And it might next year, depending on how things play out.

Ok? That just means Apple products are gonna be even more overpriced.

Well I'll start saving for Morgan now then... More than NP1 is probably useless anyway.

Not sure whether they will be raising prices for iPhones and Macbooks. But quite possibly. For now, I'm only aware of app store changes. Some other gacha games however, adjusted the contents of their packs to make them the same unit cost as before.

Price adjustments are one thing, but it seems like Android FGO doesn't let me pay at all anymore? It says "Item not available in my country," even for payment methods that were accepted in the past.

This is like a weird, half-butt regional lock. I tried a different JP game with the same Google account and they were still accepting payment.

Are you sure about that? Because that's not an FGO thing, that's a Google thing.

Yep, it's a Google thing. I tried to play NA accounts for a few games that got shafted in SEA regions and spend on NA instead, but despite several workarounds, I still couldn't get past the region blocks.

As for JP, I actually have a solid JP google account since 2014 that has tons of transactions and have no issues with that with other JP mobage that I'm playing now. But any new account made even with VPN and different devices, store cache clear blah blah no longer works. Even gift card redemption doesn't work since it will be scrutinized.

Btw on a side note, Mafia Kajita seems to be building his personal channel seriously for a global audience, with English subs and English title lol:

Logically, I would agree with you. It absolutely makes sense that all these changes would be managed by a central company, rather than leave it up to the individual companies.

However, to describe what I see: I have a NA Google acct with a NA credit card as a payment method. In FGO JP (and Counterside KR), when I try to make a purchase and the Google Play/Pay thing pops up, it shows my NA Google acct and associated payment methods. Next to all the payment methods is a red text saying "this item is not available in your country."

However, in FFBE JP, when I try to make a purchase, the pop-up shows my NA Google acct, but no red text next to my NA credit card payment method. (There is red text next to the Google points payment method.)

So....tehe pero?

Actually, I was fortunately able to create a JP google account yesterday, and have been able to make purchases with it, using a NA credit card. I think there was a 24-hour cooling-off period though. Hopefully things will stay that way. (I refuse to believe Lasengle benefits if I can't pay them.)
