What one finds interesting is subjective anyway. Depends on what we're talking about. Banners or events. Banners if a character looks cool, has some nice moves, you can see potential in. I don't want niche characters because I don't dabble in that. What I really want is that even if they're new characters to BE, to make them interesting. Stop giving us awful, generic looking characters in both looks/moves. No one wants more shit in the pool, which is what is happening. And I don't mean this in regards to Type-0. I am sure there are people who do like them. I feel like they're a waste of time and space. To be honest though, I do hope events come back to use these characters we pull for these things, because I don't want them collecting dust after the initial banner for them.
The fact you bring up explorations and all is interesting. I feel like the smaller chunks of story have bored the shit out of me. Spend a few minutes and done. Seriously? I like it being longer and going through it and getting more story. Maybe I think story is silly, but it's something. Learning bits and pieces more about what's going on. Instead, we get the tiniest of scraps thrown at us right now. And I guess that's good for folks wanting to catch up, but it'll always be there if we're given larger amounts initially. Explorations can be hit / miss depending on how crappy they make the map for it. I will say I like things that deviate a bit, like the train one. You're going through train cars. That's different and fun.
Oh, at rate we're going, I'm not expecting anything fun or exciting from Gumi. We've gone on so long with boring that I feel like it's become the norm. Good luck to them on stringing stuff along. They'll potentially lose folks along the way. And I don't even mean that regarding Orlandu. But if they're not going to be throwing INTERESTING curve balls to Global, then it's not going to keep things going for folks.
Going to say this banner has been very shitty to me. I feel like that's probably also an irritation at this point. I haven't done THAT many pulls, at least on main. But I have two Trey on main on the two dailies I did pull. On my alt I've done several daily pulls. One was Trey and the other was Ace. Had some other non banner rubbish in between.
My husband has also been pulling from time to time to get Seven. He's gotten like Jack and that's it. And Golds he do get are random other trash. (Though yesterday he got his second Agrias... only got his first one recently after a long struggling trying to get her, haha.) This banner blows in terms of trying to even pull damn banner units.
Very excellent points, Muku.
You nailed a key point here. Everything is subjective to everyone, thus everyone can't be pleased all the time. For every person Gumi makes happy with a given event, there is surely someone else who gets pissed off about it. There's no two ways about it.
I personally love explorations. That is FF to me, or at least classic FF. Waves of enemies is.... meh at best. Also, not liking the chopping up of Zoldaad into three parts. I sure hope that this is not a permanent trend. An appetizer-sized portion of content just leaves a person hungry and not satisfied with their portion.
I'm sure some people liked the Ariana event. Many hated it. To me, it was completely inoffensive. Sure, as a guy, I absolutely **adored** mauling waves of pastel-colored bombs (yay for stereotyping female gender onto bombs, of all things, lol?). But, it was something to do, with goals to achieve. Did the event, got it done, and moved on to future things.
And, sadly, the nature of gambling and gachas surely mean that dry spells are hit. RNG says they will happen and they do. Doesn't make these dry spells suck any less though (especially if RL currency is spent in pulling crap). All of us have tales of crappy dry spells pulling units. Hell, I think I've only had one "hot" streak in the 6+ months I've played this game, now that I think about it.
Edit: Bought rest of Cactaur (65 of them), from Mog King. Not thinking. I was like yeah going to get Ariana to 4* cap then raise it. Well, forgetting she needed a damn makeup room to awaken, I hit that cap and go "Shit. Now what?" Because you can't enter anything with over the units. Because, somehow running this shit is magically going to rake in units I can't hold. -_-; But then I realize I still have work on Mercedes. Well shit, this works out better than I thought. Use some to cap her 5*. She Great Success'd the 5 I gave her to cap out. Awaken her. And she gets a couple more Great Successes. Now sitting at a level 93 Mercedes. Not bad actually. In fact, I appreciate the Cactaur going to her more than anything else. Just work off last few levels and it'll be golden. Not sure if she's worth anything, but having another 6* can't hurt.
That's making lemonade out of lemons
To me, this game is like a dollhouse of my favorite FF characters + some originals. What is fun to me is pulling out any number of units that I feel like on a given day and say "I feel like I want to play with these units today". It keeps the game interesting to me and reduces the frustration of feeling the need to stick to the same 5-6 units all the damn time for every event. That gets boring. If I want to call Rydia and Rosa to play today, then I absolutely will. It's about playing with the units **I** want to play with, not what some guide says I need to be playing with on a given day.
I'm working on Mercedes as well right now. I believe others have said that it's not quite her time to shine the brightest yet, but will be in the near future. Plus, axe twirls are fun
Don't take any offense, ok? But I think you're a little bit salty... but you're actually, and still, having fun, righy?! Haha!
nofunallowed.gif?
I'm pretty sure all of us are damn salty around here (at least when we are not helping others out). It comes with the territory. Besides, who said that being salty can't be fun? Hrmmm?
But how epic is this?
So epic.
Not a bad effort by Xiao, but even that doesn't quite reach the epicness from the blindness achieved from the two reigning champions of the game in this regard.
