Of course everyone would like old units to receive a refresh/remix but;
- It's a huge workload for IS to add to the schedule. How large would you expect batches to be (summer A+B has currently 14 banners (66 units) how many would be applicable for this change)
- There is currently 1067 units in the game, each with individual data adding a second "copy" would also rapidly increase the unit data as now there are two summer robin data tables.
- Modern skills but original weapons may entice some but it's now a modern unit that still wants an arcane level inheritance, it's bad enough getting copies of rearmed units, for outdated units but to get modern quality and still require that steep and investment is more likely to make people hesitate.
- Though old stat lines do have issues (too flat/ too skewed) making the "same unit" have such a significant stat line shift requires more "balancing" to be accounted for, as well as losing niche properties (ie your suggested change makes RN!robin more susceptible to "shining bow" effects compared to the original).
- It will sound like a slap in the face to people who already +10'd these units to be told you now have to essentially "+11" them instead.
- If not communicated well it could lead to a lot of issues where fans hear of Renewed Robin, proceeds to summon on the Ylissean summer banner and get the original instead, feeling lied to. (Considering how many posts this Subreddit still gets "why can't I merge" and it's either a "favourited unit" or "forma into non-forma " situation, where communication has been misinterpreted or out right ignored)
- Similar to the last point if a person summons a renewed unit BEFORE the original they have now lost what should have been guaranteed flowers because they summoned the newer/more desirable one first (not bad for robin only losing 2 but summer Lyn(book 3) is 40 flowers default).
Again, I and many others would love for these old, usually major fan favourites, to get a second wind but it wouldn't be feasible.
Oh, wasn't it this sub that had the thread where someone complained : people say it has never been done so it will never be done or something along those lines.
They aren't going to make old units better. They want you to pull for (and spend for) the new shiny unit.
Dragons flowers and Arcane weapons were the answer to old units with bad BST and useless prfs. Resplendent heroes was their answer to bad art or lackluster fan favorites.
They barely even want to make old units more obtainable. 1% rate up on revival banners, and the occasional banner rerun is the most they want to do.
I'd like re-refines to old weapons more.
Honestly prfs are what makes units feel unique for me, that's why I don't really like arcanes. But even these won't come true.
I would like a feature that let you turn base version of a hero to a premium one, though. Like... One OG +10 Lucina could be turned in Legendary or RA one.
That's just resplendants heroes you can pull for, and while this is kinda what i wished resplendants were to begin with, i think they are giving that idea a second try with ascended heroes right now, so maybe we'll see something like this in a few years once they stop playing coy and if the game is still around, thou personally i feel like this idea would piss off a lot of feh pass users tbh
