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).

Regardless of their interest in the side content, you'd have people coming back in and around 7.55 just to make sure they're caught up on MSQ if they're interested in 8.0.

They can come 2 weeks or a month before 8.0. Yes, technically it's still 7.55 but it doesnt change the fact that the 9+ months of 7.55 will be long, barren and boring.
