While i do admit that i've been turned off from the game ever since them XYZ scums came into existence with OTKs everywhere, i do have to question if droping this huge change really is a good move, especially when it's trying to divert all the attention to the new flavor of the season type of cards, i mean, i can only imagine that they'd also downplay Links a lot by the time the 7th anime comes with its new summoning type to hog the spotlight
One thing i liked about Pendulums despite it's ridiculous premise is how it supported everything else that was already there, now it's all about them Links
And this also kills one hope i had for VRAINS, that they'd cut on the explanation they do mid dueling, i can only hear the Arc-V dudes going "But you'll still take damage!" so much
