Respect for acknowledging Cry even though he's been a year. I hope you have an awesome Christmas!

I don't really care what the CN version look like now since it has always been my intention to only play it when it release on Global. I still believe the problems it has now can be fixed with enough time and hopefully the time between CN release and Global release is enough time.

I hope Cryy's doing alright. Maybe one day he comes back once he gets his life to where he wants and needs it to be. Either way, he brought so many of us so much joy, and that's something to cherish.

As someone who has played no man's sky at the time of its release and the current state its in now I can say if Devs are really dedicated it's possible so I hope TOF is at least playable when it releases globally.

I've been playing ToF for over 5 hours a day since December 19th, and my current experience is pretty much representative of most players. Here are some tips for foreign friends (there should be an international version of ToF, but it will be a while). The gameplay is much richer than the GS, and the overall gameplay is more MMO oriented. It mainly includes :1. PVP this you only need to get weapons, the value of everyone is the same, this has ranking and reward, do not play it doesn't matter. 2. Weekly and daily Instance Zones. Daily Instance Zones work the same as GS. Zones can be collected three times a week. This mode strongly recommends a 4 player team, preferably a fixed one, some of them are unresurrectable or have a limited number of times, and the enemy damage is very high, it takes 4-5 minutes to kill him, and his maximum dph is already higher than most player HP. For example, the maximum AOE damage of a boss in a mode opened yesterday can reach 340K, but my HP is only 140K. After communicating with my teammates in advance and getting a buff, it will be less than 250K. That mode was so hard that I finished it with over 99.5% of the players. Later, officials reduced enemy damage through hotfix, which made it easier. So T and M are very important (don't blindly go for DPS, some SSR weapons provide strong support, although they don't improve DPS. Personally, I feel that T and M are more needed by the team, and T needs to improve the HP and resistance of his equipment first. 3.Explore the World, this game has a server of about 10K people, a server and 100 sub-servers, while exploring the world you can interact with other people, you can fight boss together, get SSR weapons (unlimited number of people)There's a limit on the number of times（maybe 5 weekly）。 this reward is about three times the GS. 4. Gacha. It takes an average of 50 times to get an SSR, so I don't recommend spending a lot of money on Gacha, you can get it through 2 and 3. 5. Single mode. This is basically the same as the GS, more dependent on DPS (SSR weapons with high DPS are very important in this case), the reward is not much, but can certainly shorten the time to improve equipment, the best way to improve DPS is still 234. 6. Strengths and weaknesses. The game supports 4K120fps on PC, customizable character looks (like KKS, and can be changed at any time) the experience is much smoother than the GS, but the rendering and physics are worse, and some mmd are even better looking than the characters in the game. My friend calls ToF one of the few: a game where the creative director rides the art lead to work (like ride a horse). The story is also a big problem, but at least the world view is good.

“Genshin killer”. I love Breath of the Wild and I love Genshin and I’ll probably love the next worthy successor. Problem is, Genshin is way too high and games like Blue Protocol and ToF are not ready to compete. Blind faith and hype is a common disease. Don’t get your hopes up for Blue Protocol, it’s going to be complete mess, you can count on it. Seriously guys, stop making the exact same mistake every single time.

Even if I’m wrong, I don’t mind because that mean I have another anime open world game, I’m winning either way.

IMO, having a less than perfect launch in their home country isn't a deal breaker. If they can work out the bugs before they release it globally, I think millions of people will still flock to the game.

Of course, my main concern is still the possible P2W, gacha mechanics, and lack of content.

Happy Birthday MMOByte, thanks for keeping me company during my commute to and from work.

[kirizaki]

steparu always brings these types of games too normally before everyone else

[Al-moxg]

I really hope they show the potential the game has after a while but again it all depends on the future and their effort

[zitaozhou]

Played for 3 days. not even close compared to Genshin...

[charleslee]

It's common for Chinese companies to hire 'water armies.'

[grimvisionz]

Sure, I'll play it when it's not exclusively in China. I don't feel like jumping Chinese hoops to play it right now. It also looks like it's only mobile right now.

[bodonediditAgain]

When I saw that comment about the guy saying "its basically everything I wish was in genshin" and gave it a 5 star even when he stated "needs some polishing". I won't be surprised if he has not played the game yet 🤦🏿‍♂️

[elixxon]

Assuming these are not bots from Tencent there are a LOT of Genshin players itching migrate to Tower of Fantasy because that game aside being so much like miHoYo games it is an MMO and if you look at the sheer level of delusion and denial of an extremely loud part of players that involves many content creators and even theorycrafters a large amount of people there are competitive MMO players being EXTREMELY LOST because they are playing a single player open world RPG with Co-Op and a challenge mode as just side content as if it was competitive MMO with a challenging endgame dungeon.

I honestly hope Tower of Fantasy does not flop and even succeeds in the global release because hopefully it would FIIINALLY get the toxic MMO kids and manchildren to leave Genshin and we'd stop having a hatewagon going on involving voice actor harassment every few patches when something not made for speed-clearing the final abyss floor comes out...

So yeah those are probably actually people anticipating that game so much and don't care if it's buggy or not, they just want to play an MMO that's basically Genshin Impact the MMO.

Love your content, happy holidays to you and Mrs. Sticks.

ill say it now before everything else to those people who want to compare it to genshin. no point compering the two games. Genshin VS tower because they are both totally different games. tower will never surpass genshin it would take something at the level of BP to do so. And lets say the truth tower took a huge inspiration from genshin because it looked like total shit a year ago and than they saw the success of genshin and wanted to jump on the same train hence they said they want the same level of standard graphic / characters . but i want to give props to TOF the vertical combat seems much fun and add alot of dynamic to the combat. in terms of MMO games its they best one yet for anime lovers is it the best anime game overall no by a thousand miles.

When i see Tower of Fantasy, the Genshin references is oozing an i cant separate it. yes it did alot of new things outside genshin, but they have alot of reference to a point that i can call it a clone... Would still try it out but it would need to hook me alot inorder to pry me out of genshin

[MericGaming]

I played the game myself and i respect your opinion but for me it looks good and fun, i like the gatcha system in it even though i hate gatcha and there's a big potential of the game to be great
and yes the game should have been delayed to get a global and better release
but over all im excited for blue protocol
