"Chocobo GP", launched by Square Enix in March this year, was criticized by players for its poor racing design and a mechanism that resembled mobile games' krypton gold. Just less than a year later, the official announced that the fifth season update will be launched today, which is the last major update. The game servers will continue to be open, but no new characters and new maps will be added in the future. The fifth season of
will be like the current offseason. There will be no season reward levels. At the same time, the virtual token "Mithril" used for krypton gold will also be removed from the Nintendo Shop from now on. The Mithril currently on hand by players can still be consumed (but they cannot apply for a refund), but after January 6, 2023, the Mithril store will be closed and all Mithril will be recycled.
The items originally launched in the fifth season that can only be purchased using mithril will also be put on the GIL and ticket stores (these two stores are in-game currencies), allowing players to purchase them without spending money. As for the mithril props from the first to the fourth season, they are also being considered to be put on the GIL and ticket stores one after another.
To put it simply, this update removes the entire krypton gold system. However, this is also the last update of this game.
In the previous test report, the editor mentioned that this time "Qiaokebo GP Racing" adopts an inexplicable mechanism. Although krypton gold tokens are used, there are no gashapons in the game. There are only season tickets and directly purchased krypton gold props. No money was made at all, and it also caused a lot of unpleasant double-dealing.
is just Waterloo this time, and it is very likely that Square Enix will put the Roadbo Racing IP into the cold palace again.
