Is it a 3000 lapis bundle? If so, dont touch that. Do not waste lapis for gigantuars and awakening mats. Wait for special events instead.

If you have leftover candy from event and your Cactaur still available.. buy those instead. But do not spend Lapis on those. Totally in agreement on this.

So it's for global and feb 23? Are you fucking kidding me? In time for thunder god? In the last interview it wasnt looking quite good for the crystal change, feeling the heat from fire emblems?

:O

If the crystal change is coming then I'm not even doing half-price pulls on this banner. It's been far too long since my last rainbow, not gonna risk it.

So my buddy is watching the video of the new update, and the crystal change is coming for 4 and 5 stars! We get a 10+1 pull for a total download celebration and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUdzXvXiUso&feature=youtu.be

Lyrain was right, I was wrong.

/Shame

I'm honestly extremely surprised about the change before Orlandu is all. But for those wondering what's in the Video

Next Thursday is 2.0 Version
Odin, Story Content, and Giglamesh Trial
Summon Change so no more troll colours again.
FFZero2 Event and FFXIV Event mentioned, Most likely that means Orlandu getting pushed back again.
New Global Exclusive unit Olive, so the next banner is Oliva, Shine, and whoever the third one was.

No way it goes from "the crystal change in global would take away from the gaming experience for our players" and "the global pool isnt large enough for it yet" bullshit to this.

Fuck them, there's heat from fire emblems or they are losing money now. No other way about it. FUCK, FUCK, FUCK them.

I'm happy though!

Well it'll come before. They didn't mention anything about him in video. BUTTTTTTTTTT that means when he comes out~

If I'd watched this before this banner dropped I'd have saved tickets. It's okay though, saving tickets now. I want Leon, but now wondering if I should just not bother. Luneth doesn't get any love anyway. And I wouldn't get Leon anyway. -_-; It's apparently this is another banner with golds that are non banner. Maybe I'll wait for off banner. That's when I seem to get shit anyway.

This crystal change has me hyped~

Yeah it's a 2500 lapis bundle.

Just got another gold ticket and pulled a Golbez. I thought I had him already but I didn't so I'm happy about this one. I love his sprite. Anyway, still waiting for that Firion.

Only used like 7 tickets on alt and main. Alt doesn't tend to keep that many tickets around, but still have my hoard for Orlandu. Glad you didn't spend that much to get him though!

OMG GAIZ ITS HAPPENING

Damn, I wish I would have watched this video first because I would have saved my tickets. Oh well. I'm not pulling at all on this banner. Gonna wait for next week before I pull again. Olive looks cool, so I would be okay adding her to my group. Crystal change is going live on the 23rd of February. Mark your calendars, guys and gals.

It also sounds like Orlandu is getting pushed back. That kinda sucks. I guess they REALLY don't want to throw a character like that into the pool. I guess that's fine and I'll just keep saving tickets.

It's nice that we're getting a free 10+1 pull. Finally something cool for Global.

Oh wow :eek:. Thats nice we finally get the stupid change. Now everyone can feel the yolo pulling 10+1 and getting stuff like this :D

Some random 10+1 pulls I made during BE lifetime:

Then dont touch that bundle. Be patient, I know it's hard in this game, but it'll be worth it. Next mog king event use the gigantuars to level her :)

They did announce the change was coming a month or so ago. Most pinned it after the Orlandu banner(Month or two away from what we suspected). But I highly doubt it's reactionary to a game that released a week ago basically. Game development takes time and most likely they had the 2.0 Version in the works for a while.

I can't wait to see how that free 10+1 pull will work. Is it some ticket that we can use whenever we want? Or it's on a given banner and that's it? Hmm...

You may be right shintoki but I've read in this thread not too long ago an interview and they did mention that it would take away from the gamer's experience, that the pool wasnt large enough yet and that there was special laws considerations in other countries.

Why the sudden change?

(I will try to find the interview)

There we go:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/5t492z/tw_bahamut_interview_with_ffbe_producers/

H – The reason for not changing the system now is to give Players a more enjoyable experience. Currently, the 5★ based unit pool is still small thus removing the other units will cause the Rainbow pull/pool to be lacking. We will need to wait for ”the right time" to implement the new system. Additionally, the rates from Japan might not be the same for Global as there many different country's law to consider.

That was last week. Like I said, there's another explanation for the sudden change.

You mean to tell people to stop spending and wait a month to we implement it? The interview you're looking for is from the Taiwanese channel, where I've only seen the translate. Reddit still has the translation somewhere I'm sure.

I mean. It seems like you're looking for an apology or some sort, when really, they are a business. Announce a sale too early in advance and sales slow till then.

Great that they're implementing 2.0 and the crystal change sooner rather than later.

I bet they lost a lot of market share to the new games. Just think, they could've kept a lot of their base if they made this move sooner.

Btw, how do we defeat the boss in ELT? I used my DPS team with a 900 dmg Noctis and my 500 mag Ex-Death and after 5-6 rounds was only able to manage to get him down to 3/4. I used the best spells/skills/full break and barely did any damage to him. Couldn't even kill his summoned knights either. They all hit super hard.

I don't know for sure what it was that hurt the ELT boss (cause everything has physical resistance), but something was doing good damage, and I THINK it was Gilgameshes Divider move. Anyone able to confirm? I ran out of energy for now. If that's the case, we might need to swap friend units around etc

On the FFII Event... Most Team of two 800+ATK Noctis, Chizzy with 500ATK, and Luneth with 700 ATK, and ExDeath with close to 600MAG could barely dent the boss. Without heals, it's going to be tough.Good thing is, he doesn't do much damage, but his aids do. So it looks like you don't want to bring out the big ones.
 
lol I didn't even use any healing magic on ELT but i must've accidentally used some other white magic, goddamnit.

well gonna use a better team since I wasn't prepared for that physical resist, time for ol Ariana to come back

damn someone used to have a strong Dark Fina as a friend but they changed it

Coincidence or not, killing his sargents seemed to give him access to sweep which was a pretty strong aoe move. I didn't live long enough to determine if it was randomly used, or a turn count. Buddy said he got him down to 30% and he started going spazzo and finally wrecked him.
 
Super psyched for the 23rd! Definitely won't do any more pulls on this banner then.

Rolled straight through the new event until ELT. Got all the way to the end boss without using any white magic and proceeded to get DESTROYED. Holy crap. My setup was DPS focused, so I went back in again with my mage heavy squad. Got into a random battle with bombs. One of them self destructed and killed my entire full health team in one go.

Damn. Looks like ELT is seriously no joke this time. I'll hold off on trying it again for a bit.

Player's hoice Banner?! Woooo! Everyone make a banner of 5* characters! But not Lightning.

Need Firion. Starting the banner off strong: Serious, Krile, Clyne. Fuck.

Oh wow, Guaranteed 5 stars huh? That's pretty big. I guess Fire Emblem is cutting into their profits.

Shit this leaked news is huge.

I never expected Gumi to implement it before Orlandu.

Good thing I didn't use any tickets yet. I'll hold off with dailies too.

Olive's TM is perfect for Lightning.

Oh shit, I hadn't seen the video mentioned at the top of the page. Damn, so I gotta decide on pulling this banner for that Firion I really want, or saving my free pulls and tickets for 2.0 next week.

I'm the guy that pulled 3 off banner 5* in this game. The crystal change won't fix the ridiculous fact that you have 50% chance to not get what you should get and that is still a big no to me. It's a good change, but I'll foreve be afraid.

On the current banner news, 12 tickets = 1 Guy / 1 Leon. All the rest were very bad pulls, 3 troll golds also (off banner).

Yeah, you ain't the only one. I think most of us that have played longer have met multiple troll rainbows as non base 5* units. I have 3 too one base 3* two base 4*. In the future atleast you get base 5*.

Oh shit, didn't know I have 4 golden tickets to pull. Here goes...!

#1 : Duane | I'm fine with this since I didn't have him.
#2 : Garland | Meh, already got him.
#3 : Cecil | Meh, already got him.
#4 : Guy | That's alright, didn't have him.

So, you still want an offbanner duane, krile, galufs, etc, instead of an offbanner lightning, luneth, ramza, etc?

Never got those, it's not a change that would have affected my experience so far. The chance was always there, I guess.

My only legit troll was a 5* Xiao on the very first day where I couldn't even be disappointed due to lack of knowledge.
 
The only troll rainbow over the course of the game has been agrias, but I've had so many troll golds I couldn't keep track. I'm really really excited for this change. I know a few of you have had multiple troll rainbows and that's not cool.
