>OD looping is soulless
That's the biggest load of BS I've ever heard from people who have never tried OD looping. Everything else in this game is just brainless buff / debuff while OD looping actually requires knowledge and thought on teambuilding, skill OD generation, skill use order, etc. Only people who care about min-turning fights and getting way above the required SA points would engage in OD looping. That's partially because in order to actually OD loop, you're probably a whale with access to all the specialized styles you'll need. There was literally no reason to nerf it when a vast majority of players would only be fucked by them killing OD 3 -> OD 1. Meanwhile it invalidates an entire subsection of the playerbase who put thought into the game.

Here's OD looping, 9 minutes of excessive maneuvering for no reason other than personal gratification

If you want true soullessness. Here is clit pierce. @7:08
Where you can use the same team for every single SA and get 2 mil points in 3 turns or less.
That's not even a hyperbole. You can literally use Admiral Yanagi, Sumomo, Kura, Yui, and Miya/Fubuki/Maki to 2 mil any SA with zero thought. There's even a free slot you can use to farm accolades.
