The cute go-kart racing game Chocobo GP looks like the sunshine of a bright spring day. But after the release, the constant proliferation of strange bugs and kryptonite microtransactions that pervaded the game kept players complaining.
Players on Twitter complained, mainly focusing on the setting of passes and the price of in-app purchases, as a buyout game priced at 6500 yen ($50), SE set up a lot of content in the game that required krypton gold to unlock, which is really a "mobile game manufacturer" style.
In addition, after logging into the game, players will receive advertisements promoting in-game Krypton Premium currency and in-app purchases, including Pass Season Pass.
If you want to unlock Final Fantasy 8's protagonist, Squall, you'll have to buy the game's premium currency, Mithril, from real-life banknotes, but 3,000 shiny ore shards are required to unlock, while 1,000 Mithril shards cost $9.99. In other words, you can top the price of the previous game for two Krypton characters.
In addition, players indicate that the time required to complete missions and passes in the game is too short. SE responded on Twitter, promising to have adjusted the prize level settings for the pass to make them "more tolerant." In addition, 500 premium currency Mithril are issued to the player as compensation.
That's not the only aspect of the problem that players report, Chocobo GP has a different season every few months. As a bonus for logging in in the first season, players will receive 800 Mithril for free, which is enough to buy a prize pass.
It sounds like the perks are good, but Twitter players dig a little extra and find that these free Mithril actually have a time limit! Valid until 31 August 2022. While The Mithril that players use for krypton does not expire, premium currencies are not usually given a time limit in other games.
SE has not responded to the issue of premium currencies, but said it would release changes to the polishing level as soon as possible.
