I'm waiting for it to pick up the pace myself. I'm lvl 22 ish and I just got to the 3rd tomb. My brother who's way further ahead said it's really great. Hope he's right.

Yes it is the extreme opposite of the first part of FF13 lol.

I like to spread my shadows out over the dailies instead of the giant group of disappoint at once.

Would never post a spoiler no worries. Just hope it clicks with me soon.
I don't even bother to look at the crystals anymore, I just tap. Less disappointment that way, since I never get the hope of getting anything good out of a gold/rainbow crystal, even if they do appear. When the crystal change is implemented, it'll be different, but until then, I close my eyes and tap.
Starting the game today.
NO SPOILERS!
Dude don't worry, it will click when you meet up with Lightening and she joins your party after the fight against Sepiroth
Edit: SORRY panther and chrono!!

I'm enjoying FFXV quite a bit so far (super early impressions though). Combat is fun, I like the characters banter and exploring.

Wait.. .wait.... tonight? as In like 1h40m from now?
Damn it, I still can't figure these timing schedules out.
I'm currently 800-900, although I probably did several useless refreshes in the first week. I'm really happy they're adding more and more ways to get trust moogles.

For whatever reason they used gmt time instead of pst for the arena reset.

I only started playing arena on Friday. I'm just outside of 90k (90,800). I'm waiting until the last 10 minutes, then I'm going to try sneak into the 90k for the 10% moogle.

Nox/memu don't work for some reason, always hard crashes my pc

Some peoplenhave suggested running an older verson of Memu, messing with Nox settings, enabling hardware virtualization in the bios etc as potential fixes
Iv found that depending on your PC hardware stability varies wildly

Yeah I've tried some of those with no luck
I might try that long ass android macro workaround at some point

All I can say is that being as spoiled as I am now with the super fast TM farming lapis refill macro, if it ever stopped working for me, I would legit format my machine in hopes that that fixed it. If it didn't, I would work furiously night and day to figure it out. I can never go back. :-/
Random suggestions:
1) Disable all antivirus
2) Try to enable hardware virtualization if your machine supports it
3) Don't overclock your machine.
4) Make sure all drivers are up to date.

I am still in the starting area and absolutely loving it.
For a frame of reference, did you also not like FFXII? I feel it compares most to that game, which I also loved.

12 is my favorite actually well probably 2nd to 6. Although it is similar the most to 12 I felt that 12 was far more defined it didn't just throw you immediately into this super open world. Like I said I'm still at the start so I can't really give a true opinion yet but the fact that I turned it off after 2 hours and played CoD instead means maybe my tastes have changed.

On Android phone FREP is the easiest phone macro that i've been using. It's free on the play store and gets the job done for me. I just have it run the Earth Shine Entrance over and over again. Downside is that you obviously can't use your phone while it's running with the game. I have a Moto 3G and it runs fine on it. I have a Moto Z Play coming in the mail so I might just leave that phone constantly running forever now. Oh, I'll also be able to get back to playing KH Unchained x!
~7700... just one moogle for me. Too many crashes, still can't get the 100 streak.
Just tell them you have explosive diarrhea. No one ever questions that ever.
I had to restart the game every time I went into the Arena to avoid crashes.

Haha FREP was indeed the one I was thinking about! Will try to set it up tomorrow

In arena I've been fairly stable in the top 2000 after finishing week 1 around 4000. In week one I stuck to low point opponents to get the 100 win streak trophy but in weeks 2 and 3 I've been picking the best points to rank ratio without losing any games to stay in the top 2000 for the month without any refreshes outside of rank ups.

Grats!
Well on my way to my first Gungnir and then its sakuras after that!
Then probably double hand/minerva/excalbur etc....
It's really not that hard. Down load the app and the computer software. Plug your phone into your computer (might have to enable developer options or something on your phone - not hard at all), run app, run software, should intialize app, disconnect phone, start app, start game, get to Earth shine, hit record, do a basic auto run, hit whatever that button is called on your phone that makes the screen go black and turn off.
From there you go back into the app, set some wait times (before or after the macro), save then go back into the game and play. Run the macro and watch. You might need to rerun and record the level a couple of times to get your times down with whatever characters you are using. It also helps to turn off battle animations and such. Mess around with the app once you get it running and its fairly easy to create a basic-basic macro run. Apparently, there's other options to add and funk around with but I'm good with a single 70sec run on forever repeat.
Oh also, if you're phone isn't rooted you have to connect the phone app to the computer and run the software every time you power off your phone.
I might of missed a step or something but I was just trying to portray that it really isn't that difficult to get it running. You'll see tomorrow when you mess with it.

Out of curiosity (and this has nothing to do with ffbe) are you playing iw or mwr? Or both?
Hippopuncher12

MWR...IW at least multiplayer is God awful. Of course MWR isn't as good as I remember probably the fact that my favorite map (Pipeline) isn't there yet and the fact that everyone is just using sniper rifles constantly....annoying.
I loved MW. But good god, the remake is just all snipers. Zzzzzzz
Beat me by seconds!
Arena reset in twenty. I wonder if I just do a refill right at the beginning to get into the top 3k initially if I can maintain in there just using arena points as they come up for the next month

Will do this today or tomorrow, my brain cannot handle manual TM farming for much longer
I honestly think it's a much better idea to keep lapis for refreshes, slots, and generally here to speed things up. Feels like the most efficient use of lapis for sure
Better than doing 5k pulls... Have you seen how quickly the lapis melts with those? Plus, the rates aren't good enough to justify it. I mean, people having to do 10+ 5k pulls just to get a single rainbow ( and it could end up being a troll) to get a unit they want is too much
Also, on FFXV: Received it today, played around 3h. I like it so far, but I will say that I do get tired of huge open worlds, I pretty much just run from quests to quests. What worried me the most about the game was the gameplay - it felt like a mess in the demos. But in the final game? It's pretty good! Enjoyable so far, and I believe most people say it gets better later on

Fair opinion! I think a lot of people are also having a bit of open world fatigue. I've avoided the last round of open world games though, so this is good for me.
Going to dig into this lapis refreshing TM macro for the first time tonight. I think I saw the link a few pages ago. I'm hoping I don't get crashing issues, I plan to just leave it on for a few days.
For those of you using it, what are you guys experiencing for TM% per 24hours?

The sniper thing is a plague man.....I'm an assault rifle guy so i love picking off shit snipers but I can barely move anywhere half the time lol.

Ok, think I made it in the bracket, though I had to play from the most undesirable position to be in at the last hour (just barely on the outside looking in).
Had to outwhale the whales, which is something I hate to do because its not a race you want to be in (but very much the race Gumi want you to be in).
Made it, but it cost me 300 lapis to outrace everyone to be at the front of the whaling back when time is called.
Not going to do that next month, that's for sure.

It's weird, cod4 is one of my all time favourite games but I haven't really been able to get into mwr as of yet. I feel like the hit detection is slightly off, or maybe I just remember the game more favourably then it was lol.

Well, I was battling it out until the last minute (literally finished connecting at 11:59 GMT). Had to do one refresh. Not sure if I made it into the 90k. Considering I started 5 days ago it was a good effort and I hope the lapis didn't go to waste. Annoying that you can't see where you ended yet.
