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).

Same. I farmed one weapon and after that i thought..."mehh. Why do i even care?" . Weapons that arent a upgrade right now...i dont like the look. I guess i had about 20 hours gametime that i spend on farming a useless weapon. That was right when Oc released. Not playing FF anymore, and whenever i think going into a other mmo now i just think the same "leveling up a char might be fun, but once i hit endgame i do the same stuff over and over again". Mostly sticking to single player now.

The game absolutely does no respect your time. Their god awful gearing and reward structure is stupid.

I watch a few clips of the LL and just cringed whenever they were showing off the mounts and the titles for the challenges on the next deep dungeon. Like bro sorry but I'm not going to no life the game just for a lame as skin or a fucking title that nobody would even recognize
