オートチェス独特のシナジーで強くなる、飛びぬけたパワースパイクを摂取できる。
1. 5人種族なしの手狭さ
駒のヒーローが持っているのはパッシブスキルとマナをためるアクティブスキルのみ。種族ボーナスなどはなし。
なので、構成は
三つある状態異常のどれかか
+
など、単純に軸を決めて同系統の駒を集めることになる。
種族がないので役割アイコンや色を見て決めるが、キャラに統一感がないので直感的でなくスキルを調べて戦略にマッチするか調べる必要があり面倒。
出場枠は5でロールもあるので
ヒーラー
駒は毎ラウンド引けるわけでもないし、控えは3か4体しか確保できない。レベルアップは重ね引きの運ではなく自由に割りふる形式で控え育成という概念も薄く、レベルアップで得られるのはランダムパッシブスキル。
焚き火で構成の軸になる強力なバフを選択できる機会は豊富にあるが、パーティを入れ替えてバフを合わせるか、バフを入れ替えてそれにパーティを合わせるか、と問われたら最初に決めたパーティに合わせたバフをさっさととってそれで駆け抜ける形になる。なんせバフは1焚き火につき6種類提示のリロール2回あるので、目的のバフはさっさと取りやすい。
後半に出てくる基礎能力が高い駒、という概念もあるのか不明で、種族などの小グループ概念を集める利点もなく、運の要素も低いとなれば、プレイヤーにできるのはロールと戦略に合うスキルを持つ駒を集めることだけになってしまう。
5人という出場制限、その5人より小さい控え上限は戦略を極めきる後半までの戦略A+戦略Bや戦略A+種族シナジーB、裏で後半のためにかき集めるシナジー駒、レベルアップで実用的になる駒、といったアドリブでどう舵を取るか悩む期間が生まれず、決め打ちの戦略+邪魔なシナジーを生まない駒、という構成になり楽しい期間にならない。
(各所では戦略の幅が広いと言われている。しかし目指すパーティーの種類は豊富だが1プレイを通した戦略の幅は感じなかった)
2. 配置ゲームで敵を調べるのが面倒
ラウンドは毎回配置を自由に決められ、チェス形式の自陣・敵陣ではなくほぼ全体に自由に配置できる。
敵は最も近い敵を攻撃したり、直線状や扇状などの範囲攻撃を持っていたりする。
ゲームを始めるとそういった敵の情報を知らないので、毎回敵の攻撃を調べることから始まる。ダルすぎる。
敵駒クリックしてテキスト読んでムービー確認して…というのが敵の種類ごとに生まれる。
ゲームで敵を知ることを面倒だといったらおしまいだよというのはごもっとも。自分もsts系が苦手な理由の一つとして自覚している。
しかし、しかし。オートチェスは少数のPvEを除いて敵と自分の駒のプールは同一だったわけで。
自分が使うために駒の動きを学ぶだけで敵の駒の動きもわかってくる。敵の発動種族シナジーを見れば戦略も駒の範囲も大体検討がつく。裏取りする駒が強いことを使って知ってれば相手のその駒を警戒した配置にスッと組めるわけだ。
そこらへんのよかった点を捨てられると、敵は敵専用という至極普通な仕様、本来はマイナスでない部分にも減点をつけたくなる。
エリートや強化敵などがあるなら一般敵はヒーロー駒でもよかったかもしれない。そうすれば、プレイヤーも気づいてなかったシナジーに敵構成から気づいたりもできるし、シングルプレイゆえの敵から学べないオートチェス部分をカバーできたかもしれない。
このゲーム、全体が3Dで作られているせいか、妙に動作が重い。ロースペックではぜんぜんFPSが出ない。オートバトル系でありプレイヤーのシビアな操作がないのが不幸中の幸いだ。
この作品の場合、「ゲームシステムの面白さや演出のためのアニメーション」と「必要なマシンパワー」のつりあいがまったく取れていない。
どこにこんなにパワーが必要なのかわからないし、コマ一覧画面や商人が常にアニメーションしていることが面白さにつながらないし、背景の滝がずっと流れ続けている必要性も感じない。
こんなに重くて、ゲーム体験に不要な部分が散見されるのははっきりと不快である。
オプションで切り替えできればよかったのだが、そういったフレンドリーな部分は少なく、FPSを改善できる部分はないだろう。
効果の詳細な説明ツールチップやすべてのスキルに説明ビデオが搭載されていたり、とてもユーザーフレンドリーな、丁寧な作りが細部に感じられるのに、なぜかグラフィックの部分で急に突き放してくるのに面食らう。
そしてそういった声は自分以外からも上がっており、それに対する開発者の返答がこれだ

Performance Suggestio
Loving the game, but my potato laptop struggles with this game and I'd love some more options to turn down the graphics to accommodate. Maybe something like pausing the background waterfalls would go a long way?
Anyone else finding similar?

The performance of this game is trash. I love to play it as a time killer but on my surface pro 7 i have at work i get about 5 fps. nothing helps. would love to see them stop trying to add features or other heroes and balance till the game actually runs smooth. My surface pro can run elden ring at about 25 fps so this should have no issues.
Unfortunately, the surface pro 7 does not meet the minimum specs of The Last Flame.
I am a solo dev, and performance is definitely an area that I have a lot more to learn about. I understand why you would think Elden Ring should be less performance intensive compared to TLF, I guess I would kind of agree. But they are 400+ employees with years of experience, while I am alone with close to no experience.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I actually already did a performance update in the past which bumped performance by quite a bit. There might be one in the future but I can't promise anything at the moment.
「エルデンリングより低いFPSが出るので改善してほしい！」の声に「エルデンリングチームのような経験も人数もないんだよ」という返答は、"気持ちはとてもわかるが"まったく芯を食った答えではない。そこに噛み付くのか…と開発者の読解力、あるいは何が言いたいのかではなく相手が何を求めているのかを考える落ち着き、自制心などの類が感じられない…。
そして背景の滝一つ止めるオプションについてすらスルーである。
作者ヤな奴だってわかったし…
ってやつである。ゲームによくない部分がありその部分に作者からよくない説得力を得てしまったらゲームにポジティブに向かうことは難しい。
低FPSだけど面白いからやっちゃうぜ！になる可能性はかなり高かった。でもこの作者のスタンスの作りによる不必要な低FPSにイライラしながら付き合う必要があるのか？といわれると自分はNOであった。
クローンゲーム、そしてインディーズゲームの悪い部分が現れている作品だが、それでもシングルプレイのオートチェス系は貴重だし、面白いゲームジャンルの面白い部分をすくい上げることには成功している作品である。
今回の「オフレコ破り」で色々な論が出ている。が、論点がいまいち整理されていないがために嚙み合わない議論が続いていると思う。
別に時間をつぶすためにXにかじりついている人間からすれば些細なことではあるが、そんなのを見せつけられるとストレスが溜まってしょうがない。ここで私なりの論点を整理したいと思う。
もちろん過不足はあると思う。適宜指摘してほしい。筆者は専門家ではないし、メディア論のプロでもない。その点に留意してほしい。
なお、繰り返しになるが生産性のない議論に辟易しているのでこれをまとめている。これに対してブコメを付ける人々は胸を張って生産的であるというコメントを付けてほしいし、トラバを行う人々も生産的であって欲しいと思っている。もちろんこれを判断するのは筆者ではない。自分自身で十分と思えるものを付けてほしい。
この発言をしたとされているのは、官邸幹部で総理に安保関連で色々な意見を示すことが可能という人間である。この人間が「あくまで個人的な意見ではあるが、日本は核を保有するべきだと思う。とはいえ現実的には難しいと思う」といった発言をしたのである。
この発言が個人的意見として許容されるか否か。また立場が加わることで発言の重みが変化するのか。
当該の人間は恐らく現総理の就任時に官邸入りした人物であると推測されている。要は総理が気に入ったやつを連れて来たということである。これ自体は歴代の内閣でも（程度に差こそあれ）行われてきたことである。
そもそもこの慣行は良いことであるか、また総理の人選センスは良かったのか。
あくまで個人的な意見と断った上での発言である。これらが政権内で共通の意見であるかどうかの確認は一切取られていない。このような発言をオフレコ破りをしてまで報じるべきだったのか。
日本テレビなどは「なぜオフレコ破りを行ったのか」の説明を行っている。が、高市政権幹部“核兵器保有すべき”非公式取材で考え示す （2025年12月19日掲載）｜日テレNEWS NNNで「発言は、オフレコを前提とした非公式取材ででたものです。日本テレビでは発言の重要性から伝えるべきと判断しました。」などとあいまいな説明に終始している。
重要性がなぜあったのかと判断したのか、誰が判断したのか、重要なのに伝えられていない発言があるのではないか。そういった疑念を生む中で現状の説明が十分なのか
共同通信は初報で「首相官邸筋「核持つべきだ」 安保担当、非公式取材で」といったタイトルで伝えた（https://www.47news.jp/13614806.html]）。しかしながら、上記の通り発言者は個人的な意見であると断ったうえで非現実性についても触れている。
タイトルだけ読んでいる方が悪いとも言えるが、そうした意見があるのもまた事実である。このような「切り取り」は良いのか。
ただし共同通信は名前にある通りストレートニュースを基本として配信を行う「通信社」である。タイトルが短くなる傾向があることに留意。
前総理は、総裁に選出されてから首班指名を受けるまでのわずかな間に、核共有及び核持ち込みに関する主張を行っている。英語であるがShigeru Ishiba on Japan’s New Security Era: The Future of Japan’s Foreign Policy | Hudson Instituteでまだ読める。これに関する論考としては笹川平和財団のレポートが良いであろう。「核共有及び核持ち込み」の議論で押さえておくべきポイント： 石破新首相の主張を題材に | 米国政策コミュニティ論考紹介 | 日米関係インサイトで読める。
この際、安全保障に対して強い関心がある人々では話題となったがマスコミは大きな問題として扱わなかった。オフレコではなく堂々とオープンにされている意見であるため性質は異なるが、マスコミの報道姿勢の違いが妥当かという問題である。
元の主張が「アジア版NATO」に関する主張の一部であるため、マスコミが気付かなかったことも考えられるが、そのような視点においてはマスコミの質に関する問題とも捉えられることを付記しておく。
はっきり言って日本において「オフレコ」はかなり曖昧に運用されている。Xの投稿の中ではアメリカの基準を持ち出して叩いている人々がいるが、これは見当違いである。とはいってもこの運用が適当であるかは別途議論されるべき論点だろう。
今回のような発言は、マスコミと官僚・政治家がある種の「癒着」を行っている中で飛び出したものである。そもそもこのような関係性が健全であるのか。
普通に「消息筋によると～」や「農水省幹部によると～」といった書き出しの記事は日常的に見るものである。我々は情報を受け取る際にこれらがどういったソースからきているのかを十分に気にしていなかったのではないのか。
散々マスゴミマスゴミと罵っておきながら、能動的なことは何もしてこなかったことはどうなのか。
今回のような発言を取ることは、はっきり言えば一般人にとって極めて困難である。マスコミを叩くだけなら簡単だが、何も生んでいない。市民ジャーナリズム（JANJANなど）も収益的に厳しく撤退していった。そういった中で我々は何を出来るのか。
Will Germany ever escape its economic crisis? | DW News
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llK0YRvmIng
🇩🇪 ドイツが労働者不足に苦しむ理由（インタビュー内容＋背景を整理）
“We just don’t have enough hours worked… We don’t have enough workforce.”
つまり
「働く人そのものが足りない」＋「働ける時間の総量も足りない」
主因：
産業構造が輸出型なので労働力不足がそのまま国全体の伸びを止めている
ドイツ政府は専門家の言う通り 「移民をもっと積極的に入れるべき」 と考えている。
技能実習から「特定技能」へ少しマシになったが、まだ入国制限が強い
結果：
インタビューで：
“China… is catching up, overtaking us.”
ドイツは高品質で世界を取っていたが、中国が品質・価格両方で迫ってきた。
日本はすでにこの問題に20年前から直面していて、製造業の海外移転が進んでいたためダメージが分散されている。
ドイツはロシア依存が大きかったため、ウクライナ侵攻でエネルギー価格が急上昇
🔍 違い4：自動車産業の転換が遅れた
“The automotive industry… switched too late.”
→ EV化で大きく遅れた（日本も似ているが、ドイツは輸出依存度がもっと高い）
インタビューで：
“Consumers are more scared… cautious.”
国民が消費しなくなっている
日本も似ているが、
ドイツは「危機の直撃度」が高い（地理的にも、エネルギーでも）
少子高齢化 深刻 深刻
経済構造 製造業＋輸出依存度が非常に高い 製造業は縮小、サービス多め
結論：
ドイツは「人が足りない」ことが日本より直接的に経済成長を止めている。
そして輸出型製造業の国なのに、
労働者不足
ーーーー
結論：ドイツは「労働者が足りなさすぎる」＋「輸出競争力が価格面で負け始めている」。
日本は「人はいるが賃金が上がらない」＋「国際競争力は質ではまだ持ちこたえている」
① 🇩🇪 ドイツの最大の問題：とにかく働く人がいない（深刻度MAX）
“We just don’t have enough labor.”
“The number of hours worked in Germany is too low.”
つまり…
・高齢化が激しい
・移民受け入れが遅れた
ドイツ政府は移民受け入れを急拡大しているけど、それでも全然足りない。
日本は「女性と高齢者の労働参加」が高いため “労働市場はギリギリ維持”。
ドイツはそこが弱い。
動画でも語られてたように：
“Germany has lost price competitiveness.”
“Chinese products are catching up and overtaking us.”
🔥 日本との違い
動画でも言ってた通り：
“We missed the signal… combustion engines are not the future.”
つまり：
日本もEV遅れと言われるけど、ハイブリッドで強いため “まだ救われている”。
“Funds are being used to cater to voter clientele.”
“Not used for long-term productive investment.”
つまり：
老齢者向け給付
通勤補助
など「短期の人気取り」に予算が流れ、インフラ・教育・デジタル化など“未来投資”に回っていない。
🔥 日本との違い
日本も似た傾向あるが、
ドイツのほうが政治の調整がうまくいかず “改革が進まない影響” が直接成長率に出ている。
ウクライナ戦争でガス激高騰
労働者不足 極端。移民がなければ維持不能 まだ耐えてる（女性・高齢者労働率が高い）
製造業競争力 価格で負けている（中国に追い抜かれ始めた） 円安で逆に強化されている
自動車産業 EVで遅れ＝産業基盤が揺らぐ HV強い＝まだ安定
エネルギーコスト 超高い（ロシア依存の反動） そこまで致命的ではない
政治対策 未来投資より人気取りに流れがち 同じ傾向だが被害は比較的小
“We need to become a country more open to immigration.”
２００１年に元BIE議長の２人が、「このままでは万博は存在意義を失う」とはっきり書いていることが、２０２５年に日本人のほとんどが共有していないことだ。
『万博の歴史』（平野暁臣）第６章より。2000年ハノーバー万博の1000億円規模の大赤字その他の問題噴出に対しての発言。
「What of the Future?」Ted Allen ＆ Patrick Ried 『The Great Exhibitions 150 Years』John Allwood 2001
平野氏の訳によると、
「最初の一歩を踏み出し、ゆるぎない一致団結した行動を起こさなければ、すでに信用を失っているこのメディアは消滅してしまうかもしれない。また同時に、その最盛期に文明の進展におけるマイルストーンになってきたという活動成果がもたらす利益のうちまだ残されているものについても失ってしまうことになるだろう。」
「勇気をもってBIEの役割を根本から問い直し、問題の本質に真正面から取り組むこと以外に、このメディアを死の床から再生させる道はない。」
I love Apple—that's why I'm angry at the SE and hopeful about the 16e.
Apple is not just a device manufacturer in my life. It has ideas, philosophy, and an uncompromising aesthetic. That's why I can talk about it this much.

■ The iPhone SE was Apple's betrayal.
The iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generations) is a “black history” in Apple's history.
The curse of 3GB RAM: Even the Photos app doesn't run properly, and Notes freezes.
Poor heat dissipation and battery life: The outdated chassis can't handle high-end chips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with no ultra-wide angle—specs that don't feel like 2025.
Flawed cooling structure: High-performance chips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermal runaway.
Selling such a product under the Apple name was honestly shocking. Apple was supposed to be a more trustworthy company.
---
■ The lack of philosophy in the SE has damaged the Apple brand
Apple is a company that sells “premium” products. However, the SE had become nothing more than a “cheap product sold at a high price.”
Because I love Apple, I couldn't accept that.
---
■ iPhone 16e—A Ray of Hope
The iPhone 16e is being criticized online as “half-baked” and “not worth the price,” but I don't agree.
It features the A17 chip and supports Apple Intelligence.
The camera is lacking, but it's incomparable to the SE.
This is the first step toward breaking the “SE curse.” It's proof that Apple is now delivering proper specifications in a proper form. Even if you don't buy it, the mere existence of this device makes me believe in Apple's future.

■ Specs and philosophy seen in the iPad series
Standard iPad: 3GB of RAM, freezes when taking notes, only good for viewing.
iPad mini: A-series chip is fine, useful as a secondary smartphone.
iPad Air: Almost the same as the Pro. Best balance of price and performance.
iPad Pro: Competes with the MacBook. Can't fully utilize its potential due to OS limitations.
Having used all Apple products, I can tell which models have “philosophy.”
---
■ Apple Watch is a device that sells “peace of mind”
With fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and other features, it has the potential to save lives.
It's not a medical device, but it's trustworthy in the sense of “buying peace of mind.”
Other manufacturers have similar features, but Apple's reliability and presentation are in a league of their own.
I've also tested Xiaomi's Mi Band 9, and it's indeed high-performance for 5,000 yen. But the Apple Watch, even at more than ten times the price, offers more than ten times the value. Intuitive operation, brightness, notification support... everything is “thought through.”
---
■ Apple Vision Pro — Madness with a Purpose
600,000 yen? Who would buy that?
Equipped with an M2 chip, no compromises.
Made not for others, but for their own beliefs.
This is Apple's “reason why it's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap, half-baked product, they bet on insane perfection. That's Apple.
■ When it comes to facial recognition, I lost to Apple.
At first, I was against it. “Fingerprint recognition is fine,” I thought.
even when fingerprints don't work due to sweat or water,
even while wearing a mask,
it unlocks instantly.
Now, facial recognition is the norm. I lost to Apple. But I'm happy about it. The future Apple envisioned was truly convenient.
■ In conclusion: Apple is my life.
Behind the “convenience” lies a proper meaning and ideology.
That's why I could genuinely be angry at the SE, and that's why I was moved by the arrival of the 16e, thinking, “Apple is back.”
I will continue to love Apple. But not as a blind follower. As someone who believes in Apple's ideology, resolve, and integrity.
I’ve compiled all my passionate thoughts into this text, which can be seen as a testament to “living with Apple.” It is truly your “Apple Manifesto (creed).”

■ The iPhone SE was Apple's betrayal.
The iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generations) is a “black history” in Apple's history.
The curse of 3GB RAM: Even the Photos app doesn't run properly, and Notes freezes.
Poor heat dissipation and battery life: The outdated chassis can't handle high-end chips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with no ultra-wide angle—specs that don't feel like 2025.
Flawed cooling structure: High-performance chips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermal runaway.
Selling such a product under the Apple name was honestly shocking. Apple was supposed to be a more trustworthy company.
---
■ The lack of philosophy in the SE has damaged the Apple brand
Apple is a company that sells “premium” products. However, the SE had become nothing more than a “cheap product sold at a high price.”
Because I love Apple, I couldn't accept that.
---
■ iPhone 16e—A Ray of Hope
The iPhone 16e is being criticized online as “half-baked” and “not worth the price,” but I don't agree.
It features the A17 chip and supports Apple Intelligence.
The camera is lacking, but it's incomparable to the SE.
This is the first step toward breaking the “SE curse.” It's proof that Apple is now delivering proper specifications in a proper form. Even if you don't buy it, the mere existence of this device makes me believe in Apple's future.

■ Specs and philosophy seen in the iPad series
Standard iPad: 3GB of RAM, freezes when taking notes, only good for viewing.
iPad mini: A-series chip is fine, useful as a secondary smartphone.
iPad Air: Almost the same as the Pro. Best balance of price and performance.
iPad Pro: Competes with the MacBook. Can't fully utilize its potential due to OS limitations.
Having used all Apple products, I can tell which models have “philosophy.”

■ Apple Watch is a device that sells “peace of mind”
With fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and other features, it has the potential to save lives.
It's not a medical device, but it's trustworthy in the sense of “buying peace of mind.”
Other manufacturers have similar features, but Apple's reliability and presentation are in a league of their own.
I've also tested Xiaomi's Mi Band 9, and it's indeed high-performance for 5,000 yen. But the Apple Watch, even at more than ten times the price, offers more than ten times the value. Intuitive operation, brightness, notification support... everything is “thought through.”
---
■ Apple Vision Pro — Madness with a Purpose
600,000 yen? Who would buy that?
Equipped with an M2 chip, no compromises.
Made not for others, but for their own beliefs.
This is Apple's “reason why it's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap, half-baked product, they bet on insane perfection. That's Apple.
■ When it comes to facial recognition, I lost to Apple.
At first, I was against it. “Fingerprint recognition is fine,” I thought.
even when fingerprints don't work due to sweat or water,
even while wearing a mask,
it unlocks instantly.
Now, facial recognition is the norm. I lost to Apple. But I'm happy about it. The future Apple envisioned was truly convenient.
■ In conclusion: Apple is my life.
Behind the “convenience” lies a proper meaning and ideology.
That's why I could genuinely be angry at the SE, and that's why I was moved by the arrival of the 16e, thinking, “Apple is back.”
I will continue to love Apple. But not as a blind follower. As someone who believes in Apple's ideology, resolve, and integrity.

Made not for others, but for their own beliefs.
This is Apple's “reason why it's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap, half-baked product, they bet on insane perfection. That's Apple.
■ When it comes to facial recognition, I lost to Apple.
At first, I was against it. “Fingerprint recognition is fine,” I thought.
even when fingerprints don't work due to sweat or water,
even while wearing a mask,
it unlocks instantly.
Now, facial recognition is the norm. I lost to Apple. But I'm happy about it. The future Apple envisioned was truly convenient.
■ In conclusion: Apple is my life.
Behind the “convenience” lies a proper meaning and ideology.
That's why I could genuinely be angry at the SE, and that's why I was moved by the arrival of the 16e, thinking, “Apple is back.”
I will continue to love Apple. But not as a blind follower. As someone who believes in Apple's ideology, resolve, and integrity.
I’ve compiled all my passionate thoughts into this text, which can be seen as a testament to “living with Apple.” It is truly your “Apple Manifesto (creed).”

■ The iPhone SE was Apple's betrayal.
The iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generations) is a “black history” in Apple's history.
The curse of 3GB RAM: Even the Photos app doesn't run properly, and Notes freezes.
Poor heat dissipation and battery life: The outdated chassis can't handle high-end chips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with no ultra-wide angle—specs that don't feel like 2025.
Flawed cooling structure: High-performance chips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermal runaway.
Selling such a product under the Apple name was honestly shocking. Apple was supposed to be a more trustworthy company.
---
■ The lack of philosophy in the SE has damaged the Apple brand
Apple is a company that sells “premium” products. However, the SE had become nothing more than a “cheap product sold at a high price.”
Because I love Apple, I couldn't accept that.
---
■ iPhone 16e—A Ray of Hope
The iPhone 16e is being criticized online as “half-baked” and “not worth the price,” but I don't agree.
It features the A17 chip and supports Apple Intelligence.
The camera is lacking, but it's incomparable to the SE.
This is the first step toward breaking the “SE curse.” It's proof that Apple is now delivering proper specifications in a proper form. Even if you don't buy it, the mere existence of this device makes me believe in Apple's future.

■ Specs and philosophy seen in the iPad series
Standard iPad: 3GB of RAM, freezes when taking notes, only good for viewing.
iPad mini: A-series chip is fine, useful as a secondary smartphone.
iPad Air: Almost the same as the Pro. Best balance of price and performance.
iPad Pro: Competes with the MacBook. Can't fully utilize its potential due to OS limitations.
Having used all Apple products, I can tell which models have “philosophy.”

■ Apple Watch is a device that sells “peace of mind”
With fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and other features, it has the potential to save lives.
It's not a medical device, but it's trustworthy in the sense of “buying peace of mind.”
Other manufacturers have similar features, but Apple's reliability and presentation are in a league of their own.
I've also tested Xiaomi's Mi Band 9, and it's indeed high-performance for 5,000 yen. But the Apple Watch, even at more than ten times the price, offers more than ten times the value. Intuitive operation, brightness, notification support... everything is “thought through.”
