I wonder this too. It's the only thing holding me back from doing the Swedish account method.

Can't speak for how global runs things but in the japanese version all accounts always got all the rewards, even when they were targeted for new accounts or people starting the game.
 
Along with the story characters there are also other original characters in the game that you can get from the gacha pool.

I know. It's just sort of disappointing when theres this big pool of characters and the first one I get is one not from any established game.

I'm hoping my next one is ExDeath. lol

I was hoping Square Enix would handle the game themselves. I don't trust Gumi SG...at all. With them behind it, I'm tempted to skip the game entirely. :(

Play without dumping money chrono01! Don't let a shitty company make you skip a game!

If you see something stingy, you and me both will drop it. Maybe this game isn't handle in the same scummy way as Chain Chronicle.

So there are rate ups for top tier characters in particular rather than just based on rarity? That could make a difference.

thats how BF is handled. 'elemental units rate up' 'these 6 specific units rate up' etc.

Will have to ask JP players, but i think its similar?

Every new batch of characters got a rate-up gacha banner. There were also rate-ups for groups of three and rate-ups for single specific units.

Which country are you guys choosing? I see people saying the Swedish iTunes but I don't see an option for Sweden when choosing my country for my fake account

CC was handled like crap, but I played Brave Frontier for a pretty long while and enjoyed it. At least until the power creep got to be too crazy.

Yeah, if I play I'll definitely be F2P. Not giving them any money.

I'm just most concerned about my time. I put a lot of effort into Chain Chronicle (leveling up my characters, doing raids, completing missions, etc.), and having that game pulled/shut down for no reason whatsoever (suddenly too, might I add), I'm just kind of hesitant to give a Gumi (SG) game more of my attention.

Brave Exvius does look fun so I'll give it a try and see how things go. Gumi won't see a cent from me though.

first pull was Shantotto. Booo.

She's great, at least in the beta. She has access to all elemental AoE spells which is great for grinding, and she has access to Bio which can poison the only really tough enemy in the beta (which is pretty much the only way to beat him). I already upgraded mine from 3 to 4*.

Any chance this can be played without a Facebook account? I don't even have a dummy Facebook and really hate the idea of it.

It can be played but you won't be able to transfer/restore data without a facebook link.
It takes roughly a minute to set up a spam facebook account.

I just hate the data gathering aspect of Facebook and really prefer not to ever have to associate with it in anyway spam or not. Also I don't like people so meh on its whole premise anyway even without selling everything you put into it.

Posted this in the other thread, my go to site for generating fake user info--

http://www.fakenamegenerator.com

This was very useful up until the last part of creating an Apple ID, but no matter what I try, I get the message, "The payment card you entered is not valid in Sweden. Please provide a payment card for Sweden." It doesn't matter whether I try Visa or Mastercard from the generator. Nothing will go through.

I guess I'll be fine waiting until the official release. Maybe it'll make it out within the next month.

I was considering dropping money into this, but after reading what they did to Chain Chronicle I noped out of that thought. This game is still frankly polished and I love the animation style and even the menu layout, so I'll definitely keep playing.

Did you follow these steps?


itunes:

switch to sweden store.

Click to purchase a free app (clash royale etc). Create new account.

follow along the steps.

Shouldn't require a credit card.

Do I have to to stay on my fake sweden Apple ID account to keep playing FFBE or can I switch to my US apple ID after installing the game?
 
After a bunch of rerolls I finally got one of the top tier characters: Cecil. Seems fitting, since he was the first SSB I got in FFRK. :D

I got him at only 3*s though, so it'll be a while before I get him into tip top shape.

I wish there were a way to delete the data off your facebook so you could tie new game data to it... just for ease of access lol.

I accidentally tied a not very good one to my main account so now I have to track two accounts. humbug.

Once the app downloads in itunes, sign out of the swedish account, and back into your real account. then attach your phone, and you can add the app through itunes cause the app stays downloaded. You do this through the sync window

I did not follow those steps. I just went about creating a new account from iTunes. Thanks for the response!

It has f2p mechanics. You get a 1 energy every 5 minutes and each stage and roaming area (except towns) costs a certain amount of energy to enter. Each rank-up refills your energy and you get energy for completing easy daily missions. I could get through the first island playing non-stop without much issues.

The crystals (lapis) are used to do character pulls. Whenever you do a pull you get a random character that you can equip with weapons/armor/accessories/materia and add to your adventuring party.

The story missions are easy enough that you'll have no problems getting through those with mostly any character you pull.
 
I must have missed the steps. Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how I can get this on Android? It isn't showing up on Google Play for the soft launch.

Even if it would show up it would say your device is incompatible.

Only way to get it on android is if you download it from a separate place like apkpure or Qooapp.

Here is the play store link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFBEWW

Here is the apkpure link where you can get the apk to install it on your phone:

I pulled a Terra, is that good enough or should I go for someone in the 'best' tier? Also, would there be overlap with the promo Terra unit?

Just a little thing in case somebody have missed it. You can change what you get from your friend's gifts. I chose Water Crystal yesterday and I got gifted with a lot of them.

In any case, my Rydia just got to level 40! Tomorrow I will farm materials for evolving her.

So what's the deal with this metal cactuar thing that I got in the mail? I'm not sure what it is, I can't find it in my items or as a party member

I thought that thing you change is what YOU give out to your friends
