Re: (Nutaku) PeroPero Seduction
aka another SR that only whales who spend hundreds of dollars will have.
This is very clearly not supposed to be obtainable if you don't pay.
Or you have lots of whales on your friends list, which is typically how it goes in the JP version. You get a lightning enemy, you smack it once (with or without Sex Drink prior to said smack), then you call in your crew to clean up. Problem is, with the EN version putting up a new set of slayer cards at the front and the old ones getting shoved out the door, there's likely not a whole lot of people who are willing to continue throwing money at the game to become these whales.

I know I speak a lot about the JP version all the time, but that's because the JP version is
good. I've actually been willing to go balls-deep P2W in the JP game because it's so far superior to the EN version. It's well-run and they don't continually ask for more money in the second half of an event to keep up the momentum you had in the first. The "we're-not-doing-support-ranking-oh-surprise-now-we-are" rules don't change mid-event, and there's still plenty of opportunity for free players to reap rewards, and in turn, there are many rewards to be reaped.
Not to mention, those rewards are actually worth it. Not this "200,000EP you get three N WCs" bullcrap. Why do I need to put in hours of effort for something that I could buy in about five minutes with the coins obtained from daily pie challenges? Coincidentally, the JP game is also doing an Elite Guard event right now. You know what you get for 200k EP? A stamina power-up. Something that normally requires actual currency to obtain.
I have both versions of PPS running in Chrome tabs right next to each other. I often forget that I'm still on the EN game because I'm just not enjoying it nearly as much. I get that as a low-power F2P player, I'm probably only going to get occasional nuggets of happiness, but the cracks shouldn't be filled in with frustration and constant reminders of the rampant greed.
