Now that I’ve finished Volume F and almost caught up with the main story (in the English version at least), I can finally talk more about this. If there’s any genre I dislike the most, it’d be gacha. I’ve tried them many times and just couldn’t no matter what, I always find them to be too much of a dedication, especially with most of them being on mobile which is probably my least favourite way to play games. But with Blue Archive… there was something that made it stick with me, and I can easily call this one of my new favourites

The story was such a surprise for me, even with all the hype I saw. I started back when you needed to progress through the missions to get further in the story, so I didn’t think I’d get too far (before they ended up changing that. I even thought about just watching it on Youtube at that point but I’m glad I didn’t). But man, it started strong and only got better as it went on (Eden Treaty and Volume F being the main highlights, I never would’ve expected them to hit anywhere near as hard as they did). Another surprise was the cast. Originally I thought they would’ve been nothing more than weeb bait, but god I love these characters so much. Hifumi is my main favourite, but other favourites are Aru, Mika, Saori, Azusa and Aris (my daughter btw)

There’s a lot more to say about this but I just want to keep this short. I guess in a way, this game has been one of the main things keeping me going these past few months. It’s a game that isn’t easy to recommend with it being a gacha and… other reasons, but I can’t recommend it enough if you’re interested. It’s also very F2P friendly imo. Now that I’ve said all of that, Nexon please bring Nagisa back and give me the rest of my favourites in my next pull
