Hello, everyone.
This is Kumon from enish.
Once again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the recent balance adjustments.
We’re constantly inspired by the insights from our dedicated players. Beyond the feedback we receive directly, we also find the discussions on your social media posts to be incredibly valuable. We hope you'll continue sharing your thoughts on Last Memories as much as possible.
The upcoming balance adjustments are quite extensive, and we plan to roll them out according to the announced schedule, from mid to late November.
For this update, we’ll be focusing primarily on feature adjustments and bug fixes. You’ll find an overview of these in the first part of this letter, with additional updates in the latter half. Please take a look!
Events & Campaigns
DOLL Competition Sports Festival Event Ongoing (10/30~)
A new event has begun with a sports festival theme!
In this event, you can gather “Sports Festival Sashes” and “Sports Festival Medals” through various missions, Land Dungeons, and dedicated map stages to exchange them for luxurious rewards. There are event-exclusive profile frames and ★4 equipment boxes available, so be sure to challenge yourself!
New Features & Improvements
Change in Map Dungeon Map Consumption Rules
The rules for consuming maps in Map Dungeons have been modified:
- Consumed upon victory (and reward acquisition) in battles.
- Consumed when retiring, regardless of reward acquisition.
- Maps are not consumed if defeated in battle (also applies to multiplayer mode, so please remain when defeated).
Definition of Retiring:
- Choosing to retire from the pause menu at the top-right.
- Choosing “Do Not Resume” after an interruption like an app crash.
- Exiting a battle in multiplayer when defeated.
Players Consuming Maps upon Retiring:
- When used individually → Only the player who chooses to retire will consume a map.
- When used collectively by the leader → If the leader retires, maps are consumed for each member; if a member retires, maps are not consumed.
These changes in Map Dungeon map consumption rules aim to close a loophole where the leader in multiplayer could collectively consume maps, exit the battle, and avoid consumption, allowing remaining members to earn rewards without map use.
Other New Features & Improvements:
- Arena: Rankings and rewards can now be viewed even after the season ends.
- Arena: Added a countdown display showing time until the shrine appears.
- Storage: You can now check the status of DOLLs and equipment on the box-opening confirmation screen.
- Party: When applying to join a disbanded party, a message now indicates that the party has already been disbanded.
Bug Fixes
Wallet Accessibility Issue
There was an issue where, if the wallet was used during network disruptions, the process would end incompletely, causing a "Restore" prompt to appear and making the wallet inaccessible.
We have fixed this restore function issue, so if you encounter this message again, please perform the restore process once more.
Other Bug Fixes
- Event: Event item names could display as those from previous events.
- Battle: Status conditions applied before revival through passive skills would remain.
- Arena: Both victory and defeat sound effects would play simultaneously upon a loss.
- Build Mode: AP values could not be viewed on the team setup screen after unlocking a support DOLL.
- Master Mode: Background music (BGM) would not resume after a disconnection and return to the title screen upon defeat.
- Land Dungeon: On Android, the Land Dungeon list would display shifted to the left.
- Other minor issues

Development Status & Updates
Progress on the Steam VersionFuture Plans
We’re continuing to work through the review process. Each review cycle takes about a week for a response, which has slowed progress. Currently, we’re not making any programming changes but are adjusting text and replacing promotional images based on feedback. If all goes well, we hope to complete this by next Monday and begin preparations for the release.
Changes to DOLL and Equipment Level Inheritance During AwakeningFuture Plans
Recently, we reduced Klon requirements for leveling up DOLLs and equipment, effectively lowering resource consumption. However, this has allowed players to save a substantial amount of Klon by using lower-level DOLLs or equipment for awakening, which can result in an unexpectedly large overall Klon savings.
While we understand the need to conserve Klon, the amount saved has become too significant, potentially disadvantaging those unaware of this approach. Therefore, in the next update, we plan to modify the level inheritance during awakening. Levels will be capped based on both Klon and level-up materials used, allowing inheritance only up to the level that matches both resources. Please note that this change may result in lower inherited levels than before.
New Chapter and Level Cap IncreaseFuture Plans
We’re aiming to release a new chapter (Chapter 7) in the third week of November. As previously mentioned in live broadcasts, the setting will shift from Tokyo to Osaka as the story progresses.
Alongside this, we’re preparing to raise the player level cap to enhance the gameplay experience. We know that many players have already reached level 100, so please bear with us as we finalize these updates.
We’ve gathered some insider information on current developments, which we’ll share here discreetly. Please note that these details are still in development and may be subject to change.
Modeled after real districts in Osaka Prefecture:
Minato, Taisho, and Suminoe.
Osaka as a “Metropolis”? It certainly has a cyberpunk vibe!
Sana gazes up at the night sky over Tokyo, and
even the familiar Logios headquarters has a different atmosphere.
I found a
story scene as well... what on earth happened here?
Adjustments to GEEKBOX Drop RateFuture Plans
On October 19, we relaxed various restrictions related to xGEEK and GEEK. As a result:
- GEEKBOXes quickly depleted and only dropped around 4 AM and 10 AM.
- Situations where xGEEK (earnings) accumulated but couldn’t be converted to GEEK
have largely been resolved.
The GEEK exchange limit, which capped GEEK to xGEEK conversions based on the previous day’s exchange amount, created situations where players couldn’t exchange or deposit more GEEK. After the adjustment, the GEEK inflow increased by around 5-10 times compared to before, bringing a more stable balance.
The remaining issue is that “although drops are occurring, the pace of BOX balance consumption is too slow.” This is particularly a source of concern and frustration for players with large balances.
To address this, we plan to significantly adjust drop rates and quantities based on earn level in the coming days, enabling a faster “earn” pace. Initially, we took a conservative approach since the economy was still developing, but given the current state, we believe accelerating the drop rate will support a healthier economic flow.
Status and Outlook on Ongoing DevelopmentFuture Plans
GEEK Ownership BenefitsFuture Plans
This is an update on the status of the GEEK ownership benefits announced on October 1. We’ve stated that the eligibility for benefits will be based on the average GEEK amount in a wallet over a one-month period. Development of these benefits is progressing, and we plan to make them available in the next version.
We started measuring the GEEK ownership amounts, which serve as the basis for eligibility, on October 4 once the tracking program was complete. The planned periods for data collection and benefit availability are as follows:
- First Cycle: Collection period (10/4 - 10/31), Benefit availability period (from the feature release date to 11/30)
- Second Cycle: Collection period (11/1 - 11/30), Benefit availability period (12/1 - 12/31)
Rule Change for ADP Based on GEEK & OAS Holdings - Future PlansFuture Plans
We announced on October 18 a planned change to the ADP earning method for holding GEEK and OAS. We are currently evaluating the timing, as we prefer to implement this once the ownership benefits are active. This change will likely be applied in the next update, by mid-November.
