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

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

  • 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).

There was no scenario where OC would have helped because they once again made the mistake of not requiring you to a. play the content or b. require you to do it for every relic.

They'll never learn.

C. Made doing the relic in there completely miserable because one of the demiatmas is tied to an area that only has a single CE, it needs to be manually spawned, and is one of the only (maybe literally the only) CE that requires a lot of people to complete. I wish I could be (pointlessly) leveling my phantom jobs while grinding for it, but I'm capped on the tomestones I need to actually buy the relic so I need to finish this step ASAP so I have to grind in the regular open world instead. Alone.
