Some key information about Infinity Nikki's gacha system: -90 diamonds daily (120 diamonds for 1 pull) -20 pulls/2,400 diamonds for guaranteed 5 star piece (base probability to get a 5 star piece is 1.5%) -10 pulls/1,200 diamonds to guarantee a 4 star piece -the current outfit in the limited resonance banner has 9 outfit pieces to make a full outfit (180 pulls/21,600 diamonds for full outfit) -free limited pulls have an expiration date as of reunion playtest

[@EvaHoshizora]

Seems a little more generous than their previous games actually. Are you always guaranteed to get a piece you don't have, or can you get duplicates? If you only get the pieces you don't have, it's SUPER generous.

[@lordtette]

If people want to buy diamonds how much do they cost? I think knowing about how much each pull cost in money would help😅

[@sapphicsunflowerkid]

This you don’t have to If you want

[@TheNightxSky]

The only thing about the free stuff that i don't like and hope they change, is that if you get free revelation crystals they are limited time... Which means you can't save those for when you want to garantee pulling a full outfit. And they seem to give away the crystals a lot more than diamonds for free, at least for the current events, that may also change in the future. But will see, either option would make the game so much better than other gachas. But I always try to play gacha games F2P, or as close as I can to free to play...

[@millieburton3609]

Its possible to play a gacha 100% free, coming from an ex Genshin player. of course you wont get everything, but you can save for when something comes out that you really like. Genshin and Nikki's interface is very similiar.

[@TheNightxSky]

@@NarutoLover6219 The good thing about any type of game is you can take a break from them, play other games, and then when you have finished other games or get bored you can come back to other games... Just because it's a live service game doesn't mean you have to always play it.

That's a shame to hear, I never played them

[@frabjuosity]

@MissBubbles I'm hopeful that the fact that this game seems to - for lack of a better term - actually be a game and not just a collection of gachapons in a trenchcoat (which is essentially what Love Nikki and Shining Nikki are) will mean that it's not quite as bad, but yeah. It's a shame because it's easy to imagine a world where Infinity Nikki could be an incredible cozy game.

[@ladyrcle]

Honestly Nikki games are only heavy transactions if you’re going in wanting everything and especially looking at the 5 star stuff, what you should really be looking at is that the schedule for the new stuffs isn’t as brutal as the other games have been. But this is paper so you never know.

[@aqua3890]

This game is my DREAM. It's like perfectly designed to my liking. I've been waiting years for a game like this to come out. This is one of a kind. Open world dres up adventure. I've felt something off with everygame before this, and this is the one

[@hobee9113]

I'm going to add one more thing to the not for you list: - this game is not for you if you give too much importance to collecting every single piece that comes out. I've been a fan of Love Nikki and Shining Nikki for years and I had to learn to heal my anxiety of missing out. The nikki games are known for having limited events back to back, and unless you whale a ton + have godly luck, there's no way you will get them all. And lets not get started on the hellevents lol They're amazingly cozy games tho if you take your time and choose wisely.

[@orion.6]

Do events rerun at all?

[@hobee9113]

@@orion.6 they do! More common in LN tho, but they take several months. There are some once in a lifetime events like the sanrio or disney collabs but many UR events(SN) and hellevents(LN) do rerun eventually☺️

[@MadameCirce]

I've been playing the Nikki franchise daily since 2017, first with Love Nikki and then with Shining Nikki. So of course I've been super hyped for this game from the first announcement but it has exceeded my expectations. I'm in the playtest and the amount of polish and care and depth is incredible! I think this new foray into open world adventure will bring a lot of new players into the franchise.

[@yigitmd2022]

So, as someone who plays Gacha Games for a year now I obviously have to talk about the "Elephant in the room", which isn't even the case because Nikki has always been Gacha as far as I know xD So I mainly play Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail and tried out Wuthering Waves and Zenless Zone Zero. And, at least for Genshin and Star Rail, I would say that most Gacha Games nowadays are very f2p friendly. All 4 games have a Patch cycle of 6 weeks. This means that we will have the 1.0 Patch on Release and 6 weeks later we will have the 1.1 Patch and this will go on for years. With every Patch we get new Content, in Infinity Nikkis case this could mean new areas to explore, new clothes, new QoLs, new Story and Events. So you will always get new content and more currency to use on the Gacha system. The amount of currency you get for the Gacha will depend on the Patch. But as an f2p you won't really have it too hard to get the Pulls. I often feel like people still see Gacha as money grab which it is, but not only. Most of the games give as such great Story and Characters, often it feels like these are better and more flashed out than in Games for whom you pay 60-80$. Nowadays you get good f2p games with these. Obviously, Gacha isn't the best thing in the world, that's not what I'm trying to say. But it is sad to see how damn sceptical people still are after Companies like Hoyoverse show that Gacha Games deserve the same recognition as "normal" Games.

[@MissBubbles]

As you see from the comments, majority of people never played a Nikki game before and had no idea it's a gacha free to play game. Heck I never heard of Nikki until this game came around and had no idea it's free either

[@studioshen]

I think we are currently at that point if not will be soon enough. Where Gotcha games are now starting to see the light of day. I always felt like the 60 to 80 dollar video games where a rip off no matter how many game systems come out. I started playing gotcha games on a cell phone back in the day ranging from different games like farm heros to honkai impact 3rd on the phone. Yet, it will never be game of the year ( game awards ). Which always made me sad because alot of those games deserve to be in the spot light. Even Nikke and the other titles that release. Yet, a DLC ( is a nominee for game of the year ). Anyways aside from that some of the games arent even worth it with 6 hours of story for an 80 plus dollar game. Yet, the gotcha games give us patch after patch of story telling. Hell if you want to be honest a 300 million dollar movie sucked and still was dog shh compared to a story patch. Hollywood coughs* So anyways i get how you feel.

[@SageNoodleVT]

Thanks for the info Bubbles, I had no idea this was a F2P game, the HUD reminds me a lot of Mihoyo games which can be a bit off putting for me but might give it a try :)

[@Midnight_chan..]

As a gacha player, 5 mins isn’t that long as some have closer to 10 mins. The pulls depend on pull currently and pity system for the gacha, but you could also be ftp.

[@lordtette]

I think people need to be explained what gacha games are and companies are hiring psychologist to figure out how to get players to part with money and get them hooked to the game using less ethical means. And people need to understand how gaming, something seen as adaptive (helpful) even as a way to for someone to distract themselves as a mental health tool. But it can be maladaptive when addictive components like gambling are used in games.

[@solennev3073]

If I may ask, where have you seen that they hired psychologists? Even without spending money on it it’s really true that gacha games are designed to play with our weaknesses and frustrations. I have access to the beta of IN and I feel like the chests and rewards you find in the wild are meant to be underwhelming so that you feel the need to makes some pulls on the banner… I felt a little manipulated when I begin to notice these little details. I wish that it was a single player game but the company is specialized in those mobile games and it’s the trend anyway so it is what it is… You can still feel the love and the attention to the details in the world, it’s not just a money grabber, at the very least

[@darianstarfrog]

This is in the west..not a western game

[@aureliaavalon]

i can't believe there's people who don't know what gacha games are, it's been there for a very long time years before Genshin Impact even launched. I guess it's because you might be in the west? I see that gacha games are finally breaking out of the niche and growing mainstream worldwide which causes all the confusion, but gacha games have always been designed to take your attention, love and money.

[@femtrooper]

[@Okiegamer77]

The Nikki series was my first gacha game and the longest ones I've played so far. I actually just recently stopped spending money entirely on LN or SN and I've been a longtime paying player. I'll still play IN when it comes out though. I also just recently started playing GI and WuWa so I've been spending very mildly on those two.

Just play and spend no money? A lot of games are not pay to win, you literally would never have to spend anything in order to play through sucessfully

[@mundanemorselsmundanemorse7028]

Agree w the premise but this game would charge literally thousands of dollars for all of their content. The point for most players isn’t to unlock all content, it’s to pay what you want and spend as much time as you want grinding. For example, I played about 40 hours of Genshin Impact and spent about $15-20. For me that’s more than worth the money. I don’t need tons of new characters, and I earned a few for free. On the other hand, the whales who can’t control their impulses get taken advantage of and spend thousands over time. So games like this wouldn’t benefit from a $60 version or whatever.

[@aureliaavalon]

@@mundanemorselsmundanemorse7028 Exactly. And it's also a game designed to have monthly updates and events, new seasonal outfits and items, AND new updated storylines. A very long investment of time and money. An offline edition would only be possible until the entirety of the main plot finishes, or if the company decides to release Part 1, Part 2, etc for Paid Offline Editions of the game by some miracle never-seen-before. Infinity Nikki simply isn't an otome game that could just release a Paid Version with completed storyline, and that's how most gacha games are. If you want a completed, offline game edition like that in this economy, you'd have to take the first step and make the game yourself and hopefully you'd be a trendsetter.

[@Annssel]

Well good thing this isn’t a game where you have to spend money, I played a love Nikki game for 3-4 years never spent a single dollar in the game and I had tons of clothing and cute stuff. You don’t need to spend money to enjoy love Nikki games at all 😭

[@zoobMer]

regarding preformance issues, we need to know what your specs are. in particular, we need to know you're running the game on an NVME and not a HDD. maybe the other creators didn't mention it because it wasn't an issue for them?

[@soulzyx]

they probably didnt mention it cuz most people these days are using SSDs, they're very cheap even the crappiest SATA ones and faster than HDDs. Even phone' storage memory is faster than HDDs. I don't recommend playing a UE5 online only game with probably anti cheat to use a HDD, might cause a lot of stutter if you're using a slow drive that can't keep up (Wuwa has this issue)

[@MissBubbles]

I am using an nvme, RTX 4070 ti and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor, pretty solid rig and it couldn't handle the game. Most cozy gamers will be running this on a laptop, so it is important to mention this. Plus when looking at other videos, I saw the pop in, but it was never mentioned.

And been used with gacha games since been playing genshin and hsr for like 1 year + .. am so happy the game is finally here in a few days ^^. No game is perfect imo, there will always be something that would be like a downside, so all that matters is for people to chose playing what they enjoy :) . Not all games will be to everyone's tastes and that is fine since there will always be something out there to everyone's tastes as long as they look for it ^^

If any POC are disappointed by the customization, just play Creatures of Ava! One purchase, not expensive, adorable and pretty, lots of gameplay

[@MissBubbles]

I adore Creatures of Ava, underrated gem this year

[@Lily_Nyght]

you mention the pop-in issues and i was wondering about the system you were running it on. my hope is that we can estimate roughly how it may run on ours. thanks in advance! Lily~

[@Saphira.]

didnt get in the beta to test it out for myself sadly, but it is looking very good and fun! can't wait to see the release

[@Alpheus_09C]

Honestly i have pretty strong distaste towards game that make use of the genshin ui layout. Mmos used to have similar layouts on mobile, but after genshin, a lot of games have it now. And i absolutely hate it. Graphics are amazing though, i absolutely love those

[@MissBubbles]

What do you hate about the UI?

[@Alpheus_09C]

@@MissBubbles it's so overused and without soul.

[@victoriascholl4607]

I don't like games with Micro-transactions! I am not playing this!

[@Augz_-]

I've played Dragon Raja and I chose a female character. So I'm Cool with this game. It would be nice if we could change the skin color of the character but, its about Nikki. So I'm absolutely fine with it.

[@TheChibiSmile]

I already love how this game looks, but this game could be perfect if they add an option to ride a horse. Am I right, girlies?

[@vegassims7]

I am sure its eye candy for days, but I guess we won't know much until the game drops and runs. There has to be a push for microtransactions or they wont make any money, so will have to see how that pans out. lol

[@IvoryTower777]

Suprised its working on medium on my pixel 6 . Some frame drops in the cutscenes but gameplay is decent enough. I will have to try it on pc or console.

[@pippaloves]

Wish I could identify what it is about certain games I don’t enjoy. It’s to do with the way the camera moves. Most jrpgs have this same kind of camera I don’t enjoy. I love legend of Zelda and Assassin Creed though, there is something different about their angles. What’s different about them and how do I identify it? This game looks too petty though I’ll have to try push through my camera issues.

[@Shinigami344]

Mister KiLo was a jumpscare ngl

[@lincoln537]

This game is mega cute! I am a bit sad, that we cannot save progress, so it is stopping me to play more, but I love it

[@isix6833]

I can’t wait for this game to release omggg❤❤ although I would’ve love to see our own customNikki while while using the skills :(

[@theend2574]

So is vital energy the equivalent of Genshin Impact's resin system?

[@sarahreed-eurogamergirl]

I also have my concerns as I'm terrible at platforming and real-time combat, but from what you said, I'll give it a try. There's so much I like in the game. So worst case scenario, I waste some time playing it and never play it again. Thanks for your video!

[@martina_verde3D]

I was also skeptical lol but is really easy! Maybe for hardcore gamers is may be too easy, but for a noob in pc games like me it was a piece of cake. The only problem I think is I sometimes get really lost between the big ui and the big open world xd I think it is a matter of practice + using the tracking tools they give you so you know what to do next in any given moment, plus a bit of common sense xdd like of there is something that is very high enough and you don't reach, maybe there is a ladder somewhere haha I know it sounds dumb, but I never played 3d games so for me is all new xd

[@seemeoutthere]

as pretty as it looks.. the world is way more realistic than it should be imo. looking at how nikki and the cat are stylized in a super cute way the world should’ve had a little bit too, i mean the way she keeps blending with the environment specially her head cuz the lighting and colors are so similar everywhere with super light shadows actually gives me a headache. Also I didn’t watch any play throughs to not spoil the story as i plan on playing through it myself but for some reason im not expecting much?.. would love to be surprised

[@anomaly9186]

Id love to play when it releases but my low end phone probably cant handle it

[@Shuwa217]

Me: looks at the game My brain: Audition but open world RPG? Anybody else had the same first impression?

[@MissBubbles]

What's audition?

[@staryxmoonlit]

Ahhh I hope the game doesn’t actually release on December 31st and it’s just a placeholder, I don’t think I can wait any longer 😭

[@jaybee4288]

Oh and thanks for the good review ❤️

[@lefiena]

This game looks gorgeous on pc! 💖 I was lucky enough to test the ios beta version, but I got to say it doesn't look nearly as good on mobile (which is to be expected, but still a little let down when you have this beautiful version to compare it too 😅) ... my hopes are now up for the ps5 version of the game

[@xxsnow_angelxx3953]

Controller didn't work for me either when in the AD for this demo it said it will

[@WindfulLife]

I wanted to play on ps4 but it no longer lists that platform right now :/

[@martina_verde3D]

Can someone explain me why is it so bad that is looks so similar to genshin? Lol I came from the other Nikki games so for me, this is literally a great advancement in the franchise x'd maybe a little too different, but from what I have played is great and very enjoyable, just being able to play natively a nikki game on a PC is amazing so I don't understand all this hate lol I never played genshin cause all those 3d anime games go laggy as hell in my pc lol Infinity Nikki goes super smooth 90% of time so idk why the hate lol

[@MissBubbles]

I don't think it's bad that, specifically, the UI looks like Genshin. It's very pretty 🥹

[@shawnofthenorth9692]

Great video! What’s your accent ?

[@Kingfrozttheartist]

I can’t believe it’s free. This will be a guilty pleasure game for me 😆

[@kirayamato6023]

does it have coop?

[@Susy773]

I am playing it in pc, I’m obsessed it’s sooo cuteeee

[@Ishin69]

another game that looks way too good to be just a stupid gacha cash grab 😭

[@eggegg8181]

I’m excited about this game and will give it a chance! I LOVE the aesthetics and the dress up system. Good to know platforming is easy because I too struggle with it 😅 I don’t mind free to play games and spending some money on micro transactions as long as it’s not too much.

[@cup-noodle-love]

It looks like a great time! Just I'm not sure if anyone made that connection but to me the UI looks so much like Genshin? Am I crazy or

[@MissBubbles]

It definitely does!

[@jess_s3]

It does look like Genshin Impact (which I love and never spent money on lol), but with more "realistic" graphics...I mean... it's cute and free...so gonna try it 🤭

[@orochigame7958]

When I hear you saying it's free I was watching this video AND looking for it at the same time on my steam. But i could not find it which makes me wonder WHY..but then i heard you saying it's not on steam and i was like oh that's why so.. conclusion is: I'll wait the full release 😏.. thanks as always stay good and keep it up 😊

[@RoyalRadiantJade]

What an upgrade to the Nikki Mobile game! They added so much and the open world actually works because the storyline is pretty similar and they kept Momo❤ and it’s always been an action adventure with outfit battles. I love free to play games and I never minded the gacha aspect because they made it pretty easy to do daily’s in the mobile game when I played 4 years ago. Really loved it as a 2D game with some animation on the special outfits. I typically have enough discipline to not buy the easy way out 😛 so free to play never bothered me. It looks great as a 3D game as well. I was skeptical at first but this preview is looking so much better than I expected! It also stayed true to the original concept of Nikki 😊 This is literally perfect for me 😭… love story driven games. Hope there’s nothing that’s absolutely locked behind a pay wall.
