Okay, I’ll admit it, I’d lost track of time and thought this was coming next week, so seeing the Twitter notification come through took me by surprise, ha.

Title update for the win!
Is anyone really looking forward to the Astral Archive Challenge? I feel like there’s already a ton of min/max content, but maybe people are just finishing it all so they need to add more.
The earlier ones were ridiculous for anyone with grastas but I suppose we will find it soon whether it will branch out from being geared towards beginners or whatever. The odd thing is that if you get the rewards for them “once” and then never again, then why is it in the main menu? Even for Battle Simulator where they offer red keys, green keys, and bold pulses daily, you have to go to the area to start the battles. So are they planning on making these battles some kind of daily grind for additional rewards?
Even if it takes me ages to get around to this kind of thing, it’s still more rewards sitting there to be plundered when I do get around to it.
And in my experience people do often enjoy score challenge modes for bragging right potential. Not my thing, but the target audience is definitely out there!
