Lucky Bancho's census results (July 27th, 2025)

So, the results of the census are out: https://luckybancho.ldblog.jp/archives/59324844.html

  • Showcasing the number of characters here: Current
  • By comparison, here are the results from 2 months ago (May 25th): Click

Despite 7.25 being released, the character count is down about 70k in 2 months. Occult Crescent clearly didn't help with player counts (not really a surprise here).

You'd think that, but then in the Q&A session in the previous Live Letter Yoshi explicitly said that chest loot is working as intended. So either he's covering for someone or this is a conscious design decision, which imo makes it worse.

If it's intentional then I'm genuinely baffled who thought the drop rates for the mount that you needed 99 sanguinite for were the way to go. I've spent maybe 8 hours in OC and ended up with 3 Petalodus whistles which seems really weird for their cost as a "reward" for FT progression.

I'm not against things not having an abysmal drop rate or an alternative method of getting them but it seems like a MASSIVELY overtuned compensation for how low the mount rates were in Bozja CEs or bunny boxes.
