"Granblue Fantasy has a crossover with Persona 5."

And so has everyone else.

Except Fate Grand Order. They don't do external crossovers.

don't know why. it would have been good if the two games had there own crossovers.

sadly i wont be able to join cause in July, DMM decided to region block their entire website from being used by all overseas customers. INCLUDING the DMM GAMES version of Granblue Fantasy (AND NO! not every overseas player have a premium VPN like Norton or MacAfee)

Eh? First time I hear that, let alone I totally have the access for DMM games even without japanese IP address (I not play GBF with DMM account because I use standard Mobage account instead, but I playing JP PriConne through DMM Games player - and there is literally zero issues) - so it isn't true at all that they geoblock customers.

Plus why even pay for bullshit services like McAffee when there certainly good free stuff available?

not VPN! those free VPN apps rarely work if not at all!

also the only way your not being region blocked by DMM is if your actually a paying customer and not a free customer.

for according to overseas players, specifically those gacha whales, they claimed that those customers who spend at least a mimimum of 10,000 yen a month on the DMM/FANZA website dont get geo blocked!

for unless your a paying customer, the only thing a non VPN user can access on their website is the DMM eikawa section while their eroge section aka FANZA, it is completely blocked off

That whole news gives a massive "HUH?" again since I'm again never experienced that by myself in the first place despite I never paid a single dime to DMM since... 2014 (let alone paying a whole 10k yen per MONTH for a gacha game because that's a friggin lot of money, at least for me) — let alone any Japanese companies not let me even pay that at all outside of going through the third-party hoops since they don't accept payments from overseas credit cards until very recently (and no, do not bring something like "you can just use Paypal" - this bullshit piece of service never really works anywhere outside US and a couple of chosen first-world countries).

So yeah, that's the first time I heard about this and that gives me a feeling that it's something wrong there with the IPS for these people instead of the DMM doing the geo block.

actually i said that overseas DMM/FANZA customers as a whole that spend 10000 yen don't get geo blocked. its not exclusively to their gaming section.

also its not me who are saying this but moderators from some of the official discord channels of said gacha games like taimanin asagi and mist train who are massive DMM/FANZA whales (aka spend on other things besides on the games) themselves that say this.

also its definitely not an ISP thing for dmm themselves via customer service have said that due to administrative reasonings DMM will be limited to only to three services for overseas customers while FANZA will only be exclusively for domestic customers

https://support.dmm.co.jp/accounts/article/45804

so yea!

overseas gran blue fantasy players who had used the DMM version until the geo block back in July are more or less screwed in the event that said player wants to participate in this collaboration!

however, while new players wont have an issue cause they can use mobage, veterans that spend years on DMM GBF are more or less got screwed & the fact that ANN didn't covered this news considering on how popular GBF and dead or alive extreme beach volleyball still are to this day among the overseas gacha game market feels really weird if you ask me
