The reward for the Race to 15 disappeared from my mailbox. I never redeemed the contents because I had no space for the 3 cactaurs that came with it. Did it happen to anyone else?

Wish I managed to pull something worth leveling up today. Feel like the Maze has started and I've no real reason to run it. Guess I'll just be redoing old places for the Lapis for now.
 
I have pulled 3,362 units...I believe that is also friend point units and arena cause no way I have pulled that many in the regular gachas.

Anyway Rainbows: 14

Trolls:
Garland
Lenna
Warrior of Light
Golbez
Hayate
Celes

5* Base:

Delita
Ramza
Luneth
Luneth
Elza
Dark Knight Cecil
Dark Knight Cecil
Lightning

Amount spent: $200 of my own and $300 in itunes gift cards that would have just rotted if I didn't use them on this.
 
Let me look at my stats...

Days played - 201
Units summoned - 4998
Rainbow - 6 (Firion in June / WoL&Chizuru in August / Lightning in September / Dark Knigt Cecil in October / Ramza today)

Problem is that is also count FP units, so it's impossible to know our own rates.

Where are you seeing your stats like that?

You know what I am afraid of...

I like the idea that at any moment I could potentially have the best unit(s) in the game. That's why I stockpile my tickets and lapis. It's why I have never done a 10+1 pull or used more than 5 tickets on any given banner. I worry that if I dump some lapis and get some god 5* unit, I am just going to not care about the game anymore. The idea of being able to pull them is more appealing to me than the idea of having them.

Whew! Busy thread. Okay, let's do this.

*cracks knuckles*

Not in this thread nearly as often as I used too but it's sadly comforting seeing that you still haven't got a 5* base
,bc I haven't either sadly. But don't worry, we gone be ALLLRIGHT
Yes, we'll be alright. Definitely alright. That's what I keep telling myself, as I rock slowly back-and-forth in the corner.

OMG NOCTIS GET WELCOME ME TO THE 5* CLUB BOYS AND GIRLS!

Did daily and 17 tickets, other notables were Miyuki and 2 Zidanes somehow (fed all my moogles to one so he's at 85%). Still no Chizuru or Mercedes, but IT'S PRINCE TIME!!!!!
Congrats man. :)

Ok I lied, I was already angry as fuck and rage pulled more. After more than 100 pulls I just swore to my life that I'm done.

What I got that could be considered interesting:
Another Gilgamesh
7 Mercedes
9 Chorizos
6 Cecils
1 Hayate
1 Firion
2 Miyukis
Enough Charlotte for 2 TMs

I'm calm already and I have conscience that this was one of the biggest financial mistakes of my life. This was money burned and thrown in the gutter. I can get it back operating in the stock market but it won't change the fact that I just lost almost R$2,000.

I'm done pursuing units in this game as I have enough to complete pretty much any future challenge. From now on I'll do dailies and just let the units TM farming. Also, I'll take a break from this thread and just focus on Record Keeper, which proved to be a fairer game even though I talked so much shit about it.

Love y'all.
Sorry for your horrible luck, but don't leave us! I know spending a lot of money (in a single sitting) and not getting what you want can be a disappointing experience, but things will get better (maybe).

I'm sure if you look at your list you will find yourself with plenty of viable units. You have Gilgamesh too! Plenty to keep going onwards with. :)

11 pull and got Ramza, what!
Will get my remaining 7k lapis in case of new year bundle.
Congrats on the 5*! d(^_^)v

Did another angry pull and got Lightning and more Chizuru and Zidane. Sure why not
Why does angry pulls like this never work out for me? Maybe it's because I'm Canadian and can't attain the proper amounts of anger? I need to increase my ferocity meter. Maybe later tonight, when I'm out and about, I'll refuse to hold the door open for someone. True. Evil.

Congrats on your Lightning/Chizuru/Zidane. :)



BUT OFC IT'S FANG!!! It's not like I pulled 12 of her already in the XIII banner, FUCK YOU GUMI!!!

At least I got a Mercedes-Benz but holy shit was that a heartbreaking pull since I went almost 350 pulls since my last rainbow... Tickets got me Celes(new), Vaan(my turd) and some bediles(one of them was 4*) and a Rakshasa because why not, FUCK YOU#2 GUMI!!!

P.s: my main Charlotte is at 35% with another 4 along her to get that TM for Refia(I think I pulled about 15 in total). So yeah, Chrono&lordcyno, I feel your pain and I sent a rage filled complaint to GUMI for what that's worth...
That rainbow Fang.

I'm so sorry.

I'm a mess of emotions.. against better judgement I did 2 10 pulls, and I spent all of my tickets... I didn't get Noctis, or any other Rainbow - seriously fuck this game sometimes. I didn't get Chizuru either, so no BM for me. Never going all out again. I knew better...

Beyond disappointed.

I did get some notables. My first Zidane (FINALLY), WoL (FINALLY), and Garland. Another Miuki, which is useless without Chorizo. 2 x Mercedes. A bunch of dupes for TM's I'll never get around to. I need to spend some attack pots.

Mercedes, or Garland?

Well, I spent everything... one more 11 pull out of rage - I have about 500 lapis left. No Noctis, but finally a Chizuru. Now to rerun story for some more lapis...

Wasn't worth it, but at least she will DW Sabuki one of these days. Small consolation I guess.
Trust me, I know how you feel. I have Chizuru at least, but man, this game! Hang in there, know you're not alone!

Pulled a Noctis on my third ticket pull... blessed
Noctis get! Nice work.

Guys I feel dirty. I put away my pride whaled today to get Noctis and didn't manage to get him.

I spent 24 tickets and spent money to get the 11-pull and I got a ton of stuff no Noctis
even got a troll Rainbow that turned into Agrias
.

This was the result of the 11-pull


all in all I didn't get Noctis but I got some good stuff out of it. Other noteworthy units not show I got a Miyuki, my 3rd and 4th Agrias, a 2nd Warrior of Light and my 3rd Cecil.
Oh yeah and my first Chizzie
.
No Noctis, but a nice set of pulls for sure. You did good!

Oh wow, this is heart-breaking. Seriously depressing. My condolences. :/

Spent 17 tickets on nothing. Farmed for enough lapis to do my daily. Watched full summon animation and finally I did it. Blue to orange to rainbow to noctis. My team is pretty lit now cecil, exdeath, lightning, tillith, and now noctis. Super excited to see if noctis is any good.
Noctis is better than "good", he's amazing. Congrats to you on your 5* beast!

My first rainbow.

My time has finally come.

...

Gilbert.

Fuck everything.
;_;

RAINBOW

its 5*cecil...

man fuck this game so hard

literally spent all my lapis and only got a fucking 5* cecil to show
WE NEED THAT CRYSTAL CHANGE ALREADY!

I mean, at least it's Cecil, but damn it.

I couldn't stay away love the game and the community too much lol. No on the Noctis thing though I already have enough top tier units to waste Lapis on pulling poop at the moment.
Welcome back. :)

Guys 60 tickets and Noctis is mine :')

My first 5* base.
Congrats to you on joining that very elusive club. I keep trying to sign up, but you guys keep moving the clubroom. :(

Also, I wish the last stage of the maze was 3 gigantuars instead of 3 star quartz. I have them pouring out of me at this point
Funny how that works, huh? When the maze was here last time, I was hoping for the minituar at the end, now I'm all about those 3x cactuar.

The troll rates are back. This is what I got with 5000 lapis i was storing away for a rainy day on my android device. Didn't even get a banner unit
Despair. :/

Well it took 97 pulls, but I got the prince.

Other notables:

1 Mercedes
5 Chorizo
1 Cecil
3 Miyuki
2 Zidane
1 Agrias
1 Refia

and about 3000 Charlottes. All lapis/tickets saved since the Luneth banner are now part of the ether.
Charlotte really is overpowering this banner. Damn.

Congrats to you on your Noctis, though! Also, that five (5!) Chizuru, Cecil, Miyuki, two Zidane (2!!) and Agrias. Great stuff!

I decided I'm going to spend money for Noctis.

(I'm buying a PS4, it'll be cheaper.)
This is likely so true, and equally as depressing.

Well that was a fucking roller coaster of a morning. I did some pulls.

Daily:
Ludmille

Tickets:
Locke (1st)
Gold
Mercedes (sweet, axe)
Terra
Gold
Mercedes (uh, ok!)
Xiao (1st)
Cecil

Now I think, "My luck has been pretty good. Let's go for that 11x!"

Oh god it's horrible. Dupe Chizuru and my first Garland are the best parts. Yuck.

I've got some tickets left but now it feels like my mojo's gone.

Russel (yep, definitely gone)
Tellah
Rakshasa
oh lord it's a Rainbow
Ramza (He's not Noctis but he's still new to me and great!)
Gold
Mercedes (boob pirate loves me)
Rainbow are you shitting me?
Noctis

TLDR: I thought my luck was good, then I thought it was bad, then I spent all my life's luck in 3 pulls.
Congrats on your Ramza! Sorry about the rest, but 5*!

...

2nd rainbow this banner...

alma...

Wow... so much money and lapis spent for this shit... Im getting real unlucky right now, feel like throwing my phone on the wall
I have a feeling things will turn around for you soon, Whales!

I have decided to take a break. TMR farming is burning me out, and 60 pulls with no rainbow, troll or otherwise just pisses me off. I knew better than to go all in.

I will log in for dailies, run TMR on computer, and that is it - please don't delete me... yet. I have zero tickets left and a little over 1K lapis for TMR farming.

This game sucks when you get no shiny units to play with, and I'm screwed if we get any good deals over the Holiday. Wish I'd just stuck to tickets, but I really wanted him.

I'm tired of logging into the Arena and seeing all these base 5*'s. Fuck GUMi, and their BS pull rates
No worries, take whatever time you need. I rarely (if ever) remove GAF members, I'd rather expand my list first. I still have Chilly on there, with the belief that one day he will return to us.

Know that you have friends here with as horrible luck as you. You are not alone!

After spending an embarassing amount of lapis, I finally got him.

Im not even happy tbh... Fucking bullshit rng

So in the end, after spending about 90k lapis, I got a 5* cecil, a 5* alma and noctis.

I will check how many chizurus I got and tell you guys. I think I got about 4 or 5, and 4 or 5 mercedes too. Aka these rates are fucking shit

I got enough charlottes to get two of her tm. Lol
Whales whalin' it up!

Congrats on (finally) obtaining your prize, I'm glad it ended well for you. Well, aside from the $$$ spent.

This is exactly why you never chase the rainbow especially when the gatcha mechanics are still stupid as shit. You're not going to win 95% of the time and in the end, it's only going to make you feel miserable about it whether you get what you want or not.
This is why I never whale. If I don't get something after my hoarded in-game currency (and maybe a purchased multi-pull or whatever), I never go beyond that. I know if I do, regardless of the situation, I'll feel as though it's a waste. It's a lose/lose situation, and I'm not about to put myself in that position again. I learned this early on with gatcha games.

Honestly folks, seeing a rather alarming trend these past two pages.
That Noctis allure too strong!

I'm actually really curious what everyone's rainbow crystal pull rate has been. I've only pulled two rainbows the entire course of the game. It's a stupid low chance. I'd be so upset if I rainbow pulled and it wasn't actually a 5 star base unit.
My rainbow drops,

1 - Lightning
1 - Luneth
Ironically, I was getting rainbow crystals pretty regularly BEFORE 5* base characters were a thing. Since they became available though? I've only received Hayate (dupe, and arrived just as Lightning hit on my first daily pull, that was a letdown :/), and Warrior of Light (during a multi-pull, trying for Lightning). No rainbow crystal since. :(
 
new to this and made a dummy account for rerolls. Got Mercedes and Zidane on my first one? Worth keeping or should i keep rerolling?

Is their an updated tier list somewhere?

Home screen -> Menu -> Trophies -> Records

Wow. I login for 210 days and I had no idea this stat tracking existed. I love stats


Also, from what everyone's posting it definitely seems rainbows are indeed that rare. Unless you're spending big bucks do not ever bank on getting a 5 star based unit.

Let's see....

Total login days: 169
Total units obtained: 2,385


Of those, I have pulled 2 rainbows: 1 troll Garnet, and 1 Lightning.

That's a pretty darn low percentage.

Random other stat --
Total units fused: 666

No wonder my luck has been so screwed!

Happened to me too...

I sent a message to customer service about it. I actually had concern about the reward at first because the date format was not the same as the other rewards. Also unlike the others, it stayed at the top of the list even if you got something else afterward. I'm not surprised this happened.

My rainbows:
Bartz (during retooling at launch)
Garnet (during zidane's banner)
Firion (during Zidane's banner)
Duane (during lightning's first banner)
Ramza (during Luneth's banner)
Garnet (this pissed me off no end during second week of luneth's banner)
Elza (Brave frontier banner)

I have been lucky, but the dual garnets and the Duane troll... no worse brave exvius feeling than seeing a rainbow and have it be trash/something you already have

Edit: forgot one warrior of light (during Gilgamesh banner)
 
YOU HAVE 2 INFERNAL ARMLET?!?!?!?

GO TO HELL

oh the irony

I COULD have had two.....

See, what had happened was it was late, I was tired, needed unit space, went to fuse something and something else was chosen instead. Can you take a guess as to what was accidentally chosen?!?!?!?!?

RE: Hippo

I don't like me either right now. 17 tickets and 3 11 pulls for Noctis....that was my Orlandu fund. I really wasn't planning on pulling for him at all. Then everyone started posting his animations and how cool he looked. I gave into the hype. I've spent too much cash on this game. I've got to stop, I NEED to stop.

Guys just remember, for every 1 person in this GAF thread who got Noctis there are 10 of us that didn't. At least that's what I'm telling myself so I don't get to sad.

Noctis is so cool

Eh it happens. Orlandu is the exact reason I didn't pull for Noctis...well that and I think he is a shit tier character but that aside he is a good unit but Orlandu...is Orlandu. I refuse to spend anything else on the game until they make a crystal change...*if* they make one. Just do what I did.....on the first Lightning banner and got nothing out of $300. Step back and realize no 1 unit is worth dropping shit tons of cash on it...chances are you will pull that unit or something better eventually anyway.

1200 units obtained and not even one rainbow crystal.

Note that's not including fp pulls either because I've never pulled them. Don't have storage for those shifty units. Been maxed out FP for months.
 
...please dont tell me you used 2 demon rains unTM'd to some garbage unit...

One got fused by accident. One remains. Forgive me.

yep dude... Same here... the next time I pull like crazy like this is for tidus and thats it.

I also will not spend anymore money even if I dont get him. My team is good enough now, I don't need more

Do obtained units like Gil Snappers, Gigantaurs count towards units obtained total? Friend point units do, so I can only figure they do too which really skews the Units Obatined vs Rainbow obtained rates.

I've only ever pulled 1 Rainbow which was my 2nd Zidane, and I believe that is probably after approx 400 pulls (915 total, accounting for 200 FP summons ((Friend point total - what I have now, divided by 200)) & approx 300 Gigantaur ((200 from events & maybe 100 or so from Dunes/Maze etc))

So 1 in 400? Uhh :(

Should we be expecting anything special for Christmas? Or will Gumi be an Ultima Grinch?
They'll be giving us more opportunities to spend our Lapis (with event-exclusive units), and the same "great rates" we're used to.

Merry Christmas!

(In all seriousness, I expect to receive that rainbow crystal bundle for 10k Lapis soon. As to whether they'll be guaranteed 5* base or not, it's hard to say. If they're not, I won't be tempted at all. I've been trolled too much.)

Sounds like there's a Halloween-esque currency event planned. As for actual presents or special deals, no clue. JP had the 10k 3 rainbow deal but the game was in a very different state back then.

Just to pretend, because pretending makes me feel good inside

If we were to hypothetically get the guaranteed crystal change like JP got, it would still be a few months off right? Like around the FFX banner

Oh right and I've logged in 170 days.

*edit* nevermind, found it.

218 days logged in, in a row

to the bolded, yes i believe they do count toward the total. Still, some people like myself are easily in the 1000:0 range.

I've pulled 5 rainbows as far as I'm aware:

Pre-Lightning Era:

Chizuru
Golbez
Warrior of Light

Post-Lightning Era:

Elza
Lightning

I can't complain much. Even my rainbow pulls were decent before base 5* came along.
