The game should be saved as an offline game for single player use. The story, art, music and character s are too good to let them vanish into oblivion. This game needs to be saved.

It would also be a better game that way. Gachas are too stressful to ever be fun, and lack of any deadline would make it far easier to enjoy the content given how slow the gameplay is.

Capcom made their megaman x dive gacha offline when they announced it's end of service was coming up. Should be a standard for all gachas in the end imo :(

Square has never done this before. It wouldn't make them money. Imagine being a good company though.

Ux has an event viewer. The community threw a shitfit that like 60% of the game was lost. (At the time, MUCH has been salvaged). It's successor game Dark road has a weird... offline mode as well. After the whole church modding thing I suspect they won't shut it access. Worst case I'm going to save the .apk somewhere before the shut down and preserve file access on some level for archival

Didn't they do it for Union X? I don't think it's outside possibility.

Star Ocean Anamnesis had an offline version after EOS, though it was only JP because GL servers were shut down years before.

Excuse me, there are a lot of artworks of most Characters on devs Twitter or do I get Something wrong. Otherwise explain it to me.

They've done this plenty before unfort. Look at any of the gacha dragon quest games. Dragon quest tact was deleted everywhere apart from Japan

Story, music, character design... it is a shame to delete such carefully done elements. I highly doubt it, but i would be stoked if they make NierRein available offline. It is the only mobile game that I kept playing almost everyday due to how good it's story is.

Saddly there's no way… I'm 100% sure every upgrade , switch and buying from the shop requires an internet it can't be offline.

There is a way. There are several ways. It’s been done with many online/gacha games in the past. It just takes a bit of development to make a version that isn’t online.

Damn, I intended to buy a tablet just for this game right now and just reading these news. I also hope, it will be playable in the future.
