Wow, I badly overprepared for Ainsel. Ran right over her with my underpowered crew, although I suppose sucking it up and grinding Lenna to 80 for Curaja made life a whole lot easier.
Honorable mention, I suppose, to the 200k Friend Points burnt to date to acquire Stonra. Was nice to see someone in the party (Kefka) doing non-trivial damage to her via her only weakness.
Now, I just need to figure out how to smuggle Rydia into the party and still be able to beat Ainsel so I can continue my lab work and analysis.

Two pulls and I'm out. Got Lani 4* and my 5th Luna.
At least I can look forward to getting Barrage I guess. Will likely throw it on my Xaio.

guess I shouldn't have tried with a team 4 stars in their low 50s
I really hate that those characters have 4* evolutions. Get your hopes up for nothing. :/

Define "better"
VI is a masterpiece.
You can get both on mobile, but no discount.

RIIIIIGHHTTT!!
storywise?
prefer playing it on Vita with real button.
it is currently $3 each (V,VI,VIII, IX)
okay VI then, thankyou Scarlet

If its between V and VI and your talking about story, without question VI beats V. FFV is fun but its story is...sparse, though not as much as some other earlier entries.
On that list though, have you played VIII or IX?
Are we talking about the psx versions?
Oh my god AVOID THOSE SPAWNS OF SATAN!!!!
Final fantasy IV complete collection is awesome though, buy that.
If we talking about general final fantasies.... im still cant find another FF better than VI... sorry, but its perfect, its the pinacle of the saga.
Somehow i just can't stand on-screen button. lol
but if VI load time is that bad, might refrain from buying it. Thanks for heads up.

i have played VIII and already bought IX (currently on download process).
though about buying 1 more since it is on sale.
storywise, is VI better than IX or IV?
thanks for making me more curious. lol
btw i assume the "spawn of satans" refers to VI and V, but not IX, right?

VI is often said to have one of the better stories in the entire series. Personally, the story in IX resonated a bit more for me and I did truly enjoy IV.
VI is what you should play, just be mindful of which version. The PSX games have horrible load times and the mobile versions have GAME DESTROYINGLY UGLY SPRITES.
The story of VI could be very dense, but the spritework make it sometimes... more "soft", but its a dense story.
It helps though that in FF6 there is no main character. Some could say that Terra, or Celes or Locke are the mains, fuck that. All the gang are the main characters, and that is the more awesome thing of Final Fantasy VI, the plot isnt around one particular character, is about a whole world, and how it affects each one of those characters.
Also the main villian... Kefka... a real son of a bitch, not an emo villian like sephiroth, a real motherfucker.
If what you seek is lore and story, final fantasy VI will keep you real 60 hours playing it.
So the best option is to play it using GBA Emulator? Since GBA version have that usual sprite and normal loading times
is there some kind of romance in here?
definitely on my playlist now since so many ppl here think highly of VI.

Take in consideration that this is a 90s JRPG, i wont spoil anything but you will not see nothing like squall/rinoa. There could be some romance, but like it was told in the clinton administration xD
If you gonna play the GBA version using an emu, play it with the SNES sound patch, because the sound of the GBA version is awful, and there is a patch that fix that using the glorius sound of the snes version.
I played 6 on mobile, still need to finish it.
The sprites are not that bad like most people on GAF said, it's better in motion.
If you're on android you can try for 2 hours(?) and refund it if you don't like it.
Give it a try.

Figured out a workable party.with her. Limit level 4 and climbing! Magicite drop rates are a bit disappointing, though. Debating how many runs a day I want to spend here versus working PF to gain additional esper levels for my analyses.
The Silver said:
The most important element here for survivability is having a green mage that can cast Baraerora, Barthundara, and Barwatera. The problem here is that to be able to cast all of these, you need a Green Mage who can cast level 4 spells. That rules out a lot of people, including Fina.
I did it bringing in 4* Krille to dualcast Baraerora and Barthundara, lacking any better options. Works well enough, better than I thought. Instead of Curaja, you can get away with 2x Cura per round. Curaja is just a quality of life improvement. Damage below level 70 or so is going to be rather bad. Ainsel simply has too high of a natural defense (even at 80) to do a lot of damage. You can bring a Chizuru friend or other barrage user to help with the damage output.
Hopefully it's a fix crash, for us iOS users.

Welp, so long and thanks for all the fish, everyone!
I'm thinking that EVO MAG gear will show up when 6* Yuna shows up eventually.

Good point, though I'd think they would have done something for Garnet or Eiko given their relationship with Eidoloansjdnahjsbdajh
Maybe because he have Counter and Eye for an Eye that Leo lacks.
but Leo's higher defense make him more suitable as tank though

The Exsvius Wiki takes a look at global with the current * levels.
Thats why one of the top 5 characters in the entire meta of the game is listed as #4

Haven't had a single Auto LB Crash or Auto Attack crash so far!
Same here.
No compensation (or mention thereof) so far. I have a feeling we won't get anything. :/

Good luck pulling him with what appears to be about a 1.4% chance to draw him (half of WoL when he was on banner).
It really was. It made exploration maps, in particular, a pain.yeah guess not
We still might receive some sort of compensation, but given that they never announced that they would (and seemingly fixed the issue without so much as a bulletin mention in-game), I'm guessing we won't get anything.

More numberz.... (apparently I got more megacites today than I thought)
Shiva hit 34, which gives me 4 data points and 3 points of comparison.
Damage growth is definitely exponential, and its accelerating.
31-32 2.26% damage increase over level 31 (+9906 damage)
32-33 3.74% damage increase over level 32 (+16764 damage)
33-34 4.46% damage increase over level 33 (+20742 damage)
At this pace, 3* Rydia will pass Rixa's half million damage total next level, at level 35.

What is the mitigation at Esper level 40?
Lyrian
Member
Mitigation? Espers don't block damage (except for Golem, but that is a fixed %). Ok, there's adding to a unit's DEF at 1% of the esper's stats, but everyone knows that already.
Wrong descriptor used, maybe?
