Graphic is nice but it's kinda laggy in my phone (sometimes) nvm after their maintenance the game runs smoother than when I downloaded it for the first time there are two difficulties, Path to Dawn (for players who want to immerse themselves in the story) and Path to Dusk (for players who want to fully enjoy the action) < There are no differences between the rewards. you can change the difficulty anytime in settings

Gacha animation is fine (not really good but not bad at the same time) Characters design are good the main protagonists are Cloud and Verna. I kinda like their personalities and so far I'm enjoying the story also there's no skip button
bonus points: Nyanners and the Monsterlings look cute

It's usually not buggy or too much of a hassle to boot up and is reliable enough. Problems I have is that when it does go bad, you'll basically not have many information sources available to fix it, maybe because there's not a very big playerbase (##non issue now). Then there is the really poor optimization (large size) with sometimes broken login (the ##main issue that triggered the review). Gameplay itself would just be some components being low QoL, but it has already improved dramatically from the 2020 times. i just think some changes were unnecessary. 04/26 i don't agree with token purchases as a quest + not being able to reroll quests to amore reasonable one. Story makes the game, but with some weird points that might not meet expectation.

22/09/24: mobile armor hardcore fights on higher floors are infuriatingly difficult to minmax for damage.

19/03/25: In hindsight, the challenge of mobile armor fights in grey zone GZ is a good thing. also QOL has improved dramatically from when i started. Dont get me wrong it's definitely frustrating when you face issues (havent for a year now), but it's still good fun if you like the core gameplay/story & world or gun and girls.

edit after that ^ update: i immediately faced an update bug. I missed the first day of theatre. My genuine thoughts, either this game lost its luster or I did, maybe both. It's somehow harder to even log in to do the dailies especially for events even if I'm essentially capped on most stuff with max "meta" and while some missions are still a pain, its way better in qol than when I started. It probably isn't worth picking up if you have any semblance of an enjoyment/interest for other games. Maybe just read the story, it's insanely long but you'll hunger for more if you are hooked immediately.

--04/26: Haven't had any client issues in a long while, gameplay has become more mellow, I still stand by the game not being exactly worth playing catch up with since its going to take years of daily progression and idk if this game is going to keep pushing out story and events that its known for.

Latest event stories' summaries on iop wiki with more lore than you'll know what to do with. But going through the cutscenes makes the experience even if it's hard to decipher sometimes. Some on youtube, and there's an amarylis compilation (god bless).

Hope the story goes well for lunasia, the AR team and the commander and his dolls' front. Would like to continue the story in gfl1 format up until the antartic global war, but probably not moving to gfl2 for that. It's going to be a bitter sweet end looking back. Overall good memories, started for the gun girls, stayed for their story.

Edit 4/11/2026 (Optimization tips, New bugs, Recommended specs and review) *They finally fixed the 120Fps bug, but if ya have a 144Hz or higher refresh rate screen, set it to 120hz before playing and the lag/slowdown will be fixed!

After more than a year of playing this game (Since 27/4/2024) it's one of the only few games that has kept me playing it every single day. So, let's start this review.

Gacha. I can tell this is one of the few games that are VERY generous with the in-game currency (Drama Jewels. AKA: stars). you can get up to 2K by just by playing in the league and triple cast, and also save "yellow coins" that let you buy stars, and you can get them by doing daily tasks and just playing some songs. Also the gacha rates are OK. it's mostly a question of luck as always. but the 4★ cards and poster design are REALLY good. and every one of them are animated! (Only 4★ Cards. posters aren't animated).

Gameplay. The reason I ditched protect sekai entirely. If you like to play multifinger charts (4k, 5K and 6K) and like an arcade score system. this is the game you were looking for. specially if you play with a phone, because this game has one of the most Underrated but REALLY useful features. Lane size adjustment. you can stretch the lane to fit your entire screen and be able to play multifinger charts with more ease. and every single song have an OLIVIER difficulty. from the easiest ones (Olivier I) to the most insane ones (Olivier X). Also the way the notes flow and works here is also slightly different from other games. but after some practice you get used to it. specially the flicks. I really love the flicks notes in this game. Also you can play long versions of some songs in the game! And you can also use 120Fps if your phone have a 120Hz screen.

-How to unlock OLIVIER difficulty.
Complete a song in Stella with Rank S or higher and long press the Stella button 'till a sound and effect appears. then just start the song and complete it without running out of life.

-Is this game thumb friendly?
Yes, every difficulty but Olivier. unless you use thumbs with 2 or 4 extra fingers. but you should be able to play almost every Stella with thumbs

Characters. Personally, I love the characters of this game. They have interesting stories and events, their designs are nice and well made, The Voice actors fit their characters very well, their cards and posters are very well designed and colorful as well. It's one of the few games where I like almost every character. especially Hikari and Xue. the are like sisters sometimes.
I recommend reading the event stories, they are often funny and interesting, depending of the theme of the event. and also the anime is not bad, so give it a shot if you can!

Character personalization. Yes, you can dress your favorite characters as you want. and it's pretty easy to get dresses and outfits by gettings SSR posters or buying them in the store (These are paid. But the gifted paid currency for dresses a couple times since I started). And by upgrading the posters you can get variants of the same dress (Normally just different colors).

Features, mini games, and other things. This game has pretty neat things. like a camera mode where you can take photos to your favorite character and make and album with these photos and put it in your profile (These photos can make your team better and raise act. power and other stats) and that mode is available in 3DMV's, theater and spot. And after the 2nd anniversary they added a mini game with dugong (The mascot of the game) where you move dugong to avoid hitting the notes 'till the end of the song. and you can play it with a friend too! (I haven't tried that). Also if you tap in the location icon at the top left of the screen you can go to different places and watch the characters chat. also you can change the BGM music in the main screen in settings. only Original songs can be used. the Cover songs can't be used as BGM. And another neat thing is that you can see different arts and cards in the log screen (When you start the game) so It makes the start screen looks different every time you log in! you can also change the Log-in charapter and outfit now!

Optimization and recommended specs. I have played this game with a bunch of devices. from crappy, low end phones, old High-end phones and New gaming phones. When I started The optimization was BAD. Laggy, shuttering, the frametimes all over the place. However, now the game has solid optimization. even on low end devices. I'll list the recommended specs and How much performance you'll get.

-Exynos 7420 or equivalent. 50~60Fps, Lowest. 420P or 20~37Fps. Lowest. 1080p.

-Kirin 790 or equivalent. Locked 60Fps. medium. 720P or 1080p.

-Snapdragon 845 or equivalent. Locked 60Fps, Medium. 1080p.

-Dimensity 8200 Ultimate or equivalent. Locked 120Fps. Highest. 1080p or 1440p if available. (Can do 4K at 52-74Fps too)

-Intel Core I3 2310M or equivalent. 47-60Fps, High, 450p. Or 12-27Fps, lowest, 900p

*The game runs just fine with 4GB of ram. less than that will cause shuttering or lag. And if your device has good specs but still lags, Try changing the Graphics engine to OpenGL on the settings icon in the start screen.

*The game uses up to 16GB of storage if you download every single song and MV

*It doesn't work anymore on 2nd gen Intel CPU's (Sandy bridge) since the 2.30 update.

*I've seen a lot of Error 82 lately. It might be related with the game conflicting with another app running on the background, but I'm not sure yet.

Songs and covers. The original songs on this game are good, especially the new ones. and the covers are also well made. and sometimes they put the full ver. songs in the game (Mostly original songs).

One thing I really want to explain is how the team building works. But to be honest. I still don't know how it works at all. It's VERY complex to make a good team without using the auto team function. but once you get used to it you will do it somehow. Just level up cards and rank, Try different posters until you find one that gives you a better score, also try different accessories, and the most important one... TRY DIFFERENT ORDERS, Cuz sometimes you can have a powerful team, but an incorrect order will make it utterly useless.

And if you read all of this review... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I skipped a lot of things to not make this way longer. Give this game a try, once you get used to it, you'll love it

By far the worse FF mobile game ever and who tf make this game play on portrait mode with idiot controller, don't know why this game even exists either, why not make it like a modern gacha games, make it more friendly and balance between it, bruh SE really hate money i think.

Almost there! You guys have the right idea but why turn it to a competitive game? Why not turn it to an urban open world action rpg! Dissidia NT failed miserable because Final Fantasy isnt supposed to be a fighting game/competitive game! You already changed it's formula and its called Opera Omnia it was by far popular than NT.

Also, Dissidia PSP is a different beast. The nodes and gearing system from dissidia PSP is similar to injustice and marvel contest of champions!

I think they scrapped KH missing key and instead we got this that nobody wanted! Put effort to your gacha mobile titles!
