· We check the progress of 8 items that the development team responded to as 'implemented' or 'review' in the 5th-anniversary survey about a year ago.
· We analyze that items not yet implemented are highly likely to be revealed in the 6th-anniversary update, also interpreting the meaning of the anniversary preparation video.

· Event Repeat Function & Drop Rate Improvements: While the convenience of repeat play has been improved with the implementation of the backlash repeat function, adjustments to drop rates or acquisition methods are not yet noticeable. Considering the recent complaints about drop rates in the collaboration event, there's a possibility of improvement in the 6th-anniversary update.
· Main Story Update: While updates like Loretta and Narech's activities and the appearance of new characters are planned, the story update has not yet occurred, making it difficult to consider it a fulfilled promise.

· Adding Bloom Gate Stages: Stage additions have been implemented, but players are expecting further improvements. Considering the recent slowdown in talent bloom implementation, which makes acquiring rewards difficult, it's important for the development team to present their vision.
· Easing Giant Boss Repeat Play Burden: Player convenience has been significantly enhanced with the introduction of skip tickets in Giant Boss battles. It's evaluated that the burden of playing Giant Boss battles has been eased, along with guild co-op battles.

· Increasing Grand Tournament Attempts: The number of attempts can now be increased using Zenny, adjusting the system to reduce the impact of matching.
· Adjusting Character Bonuses: Character bonus values have been adjusted based on tournament results, but some opinions suggest there hasn't been a significant change, with certain elemental characters still showing dominance. It's expected that rule changes alone can prevent party stagnation and increase opportunities to use various characters.

· Guild Tournament Support & Activation: Measures to support and activate players participating in guild tournaments have been mentioned, but specific details have not yet been implemented. Since these are relatively low-cost implementations, prompt execution is necessary.
· Shortage of Training Materials: Expansion and enhancement of the 'Temple of the Scribe' content are under review, and large-scale recovery measures for the shortage of training materials are also being considered. However, although some improvements were made in the 5.5-anniversary update, players still feel a shortage of materials.

· Adding Dragon Quest Series Characters: The announcement of Torneko from Dragon Quest IV, which was the top request in the survey, appearing in the Dragon Quest IV event has been made, but since the event hasn't occurred yet, it's hard to consider it a fulfilled promise. The popularity of the original Tact character 'Mona' was also high, but it remains in the review stage for now.
· Improving Party Formation & Copy Functions: Party formation and copying will be improved to reflect character trait levels. Additionally, the convenience has been enhanced with the implementation of a function to save multiple alchemy effect combinations.

· Out of a total of 8 items, 4.5 have been fully implemented, and the multiple alchemy effect saving function, in particular, has met player expectations.
· However, it's disappointing that items significantly impacting gameplay, such as drop rate adjustments and large-scale recovery of training materials, have not yet been implemented.
· These unimplemented items are highly likely to be revealed in the 6th-anniversary update. Especially considering the upcoming major new content, 'The Identity of the Great,' improvements related to character progression seem essential. It's worth watching with anticipation for the 6th-anniversary update.
