Have they changed explorations? I'm going to do an A rank one (5 units) and I can get 100% now. I thought the max was 90% on all 5 unit ones regardless of rank, or am I mistaken?

Alright guys, A2 is legitimately a great unit confirmed. This is going to be a bad Friday. I think I'll do no more than 3 10+1 pulls tomorrow, I never seem to have luck the first day of a new banner, but no way will I be able to fully resist.

I set aside a certain amount of money for this, so here's hoping I come in well under that. Played a few hours of Automata last night, my summoning ritual is under way. Taro be with us all.

Yeah I seem to have the same issue lol. The only time I've had good luck on day 1 is when the day 1 is on Thursday like Fryevia's banner. I'll do a couple of pulls in the morning (for me) and then I'll probably wait until Saturday.

 

[tuffymon]

Beast Roar seems way better than Bladeblitz... a higher modifier and it says it hits x2 vs bb's hit animation.

Also I see hp % in the arena... what's going on :O

 

[Euphoria14]

Everyone now understand why bitching and moaning works?

In Brave Frontier Gumi used to buff shit all the time when units were released in real shit tier state and people went crazy on their Facebook page.

Now it happened here with Eve's TM.

 

[EDarkness]

Whew. I reset iTunes and that got the update to show up. No idea what was going on, but I'm glad it's fixed. I was able to hit 120 relics this week so I can take the day off from running expeditions! I'm curious how the change in how percentages are done in expeditions will change how I do them. Before, I only ran B or lower since there was no point in spending some insane amount of gil just to fail. Now with 100% chances, maybe they're worth doing.

I also don't think the "Summer Sale" is all that good. 400 lapis for that? Not worth it, in my opinion.

 

[Muku]

....you've never played FF4?

Nope. But then again when you can't buy games on your own growing up.. There's lots of stuff I gotta play. Just time. ;_;

As for picking up a copy on GBA, would probably be more difficult since no longer in Japan. Though I do know that FF's tended to be more expensive on things than they should have been,

Not sure if it's random or not, but expeditions were thrown upside down for sure... I have an A with 100, but a B with 89 and another with 98... stuff just got wild for sure~ Also the notice said that relic amounts will be upgraded per week

I didn't realize you have never played that game. We have it, so feel free to plug it into the SNES and give it a shot!

 

[Alkez]

That's always the issue. So many classics I haven't played yet because of time. Every time you guys bring up Chrono Trigger I think to myself "One day I'll be able to join in on the conversation, one day" lol. I never owned a snes, and the game came out in '95 of which I would have been 4 years old lmao, so the problem is finding time to go back and play old games while keeping up with the new ones (which I'm also failing at haha). It doesn't help when you play never ending gacha games. The amount of games I would have cleared if I quit this and JP lol.

If you gotta do the rom/emu to play trigger or 4 do so, do not play the ps1 abominations rereleased later... they made the game so much slower between battles ; ;

 

[Zera_Bloodwinter]

I guess they have since it's not on my update list. Can't play the game at all right now...at least until they put the update back up. Are you guys in the U.S.? I wonder if it's not up on the U.S. store right now.

Yeah, I'm in New York bro.


@Alkez: Yes. https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/6ssp0i/gl_maint_info_81017/

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Holy shit they added percentage amount to enemy HP bar. I saw someone mention this on Reddit a few days ago? This is a great qol, especially for trials!!

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Happy about these little qol changes. Percentage bar is cool, now I can actually prepare for threshold attacks lol. Turn number is nice too.

Also, I've been currently farming 4 rasslers for their 30% HP TMs , but now we're getting a super easy 30% HP TM to acquire??? I might just combine a couple rasslers to speed up their process haha

Everyone's going to be swimming in HP now woohoo!

Also, the expeditions percentage increase is nice, although I do wonder how much the top weekly reward will require now. Hope it's not too much more.

Do you know how the DS one is? Because that's the version I was planning to play and I heard they based it more on the snes version.

Yeah, I'm in New York bro.


@Alkez: Yes. https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/6ssp0i/gl_maint_info_81017/

Ah thanks (and thanks to Cysidus for the maintenance info if you still read this thread).

 

[facepalm007]

These QoL updates are awesome!! Going to help me so much down the road. And also it looks like Gumi has "fixed" the names of Virtuous Contract and Cruel Oath.

 

[Muku]

I didn't realize you have never played that game. We have it, so feel free to plug it into the SNES and give it a shot!

You should know that. LOL. I started with FF1.. because we borrowed it from family. Next FF was 7.

As a kid.. you want so much, but your parents always deny you. XD It's stuff gotta get back to. I know we have a compilation or two. But probably won't even dig those out until after the move.

Oh god, yes. Do play CT. (I personally wouldn't recommend CC though, ugh.)

Now I feel old though. As a family we had a SNES. But you were 4 in '95. I knew I started feeling old a couple days before my birthday other week finding a white hair.. but damn. LOL.

Didn't they put CT out on 3DS too? At least that way you could play on go as well. But big screen > small screen.

 

[le.phat]

Request sent.

Fantastic! thanks Moogle

I'll make sure to gift and free up the slot as soon as i have Ifrit in the dust.

Not true, still gotta pull a butt load of 4* eves to be "swimming" in hp... and we all know we'd rather 9s

Ah thanks (and thanks to Cysidus for the maintenance info if you still read this thread).

I believe the DS version is fixed, and it added a bonus dungeon too? I think... the game is now on steam too, but im not sure which version that is

 

[Rixa]

Fantastic! thanks Moogle

Usually, if someone here sends friend request to another GAFer. That friendslots is theirs to keep as long as they play actively .

So. I would guess you dont need to free that slot .

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Not true, still gotta pull a butt load of 4* eves to be "swimming" in hp... and we all know we'd rather 9s

But we're getting TM moogles from the raid right? Back on the Bahumut banner I easily maxed out a bunch of Zyrus' TM because of em.

 

[robotuw]

Yaay A2 is good! I wasn't too worried but it's nice to know. Odds are low I'm getting A2 and 2B so it's nice to know there's no wrong answer.

I love these nice stealth updates. Turn counter and hp percentage are both very welcome. I'm less sure about expeditions. As long as the new weekly requirement isn't too unreasonable then it's fine to get better odds on those giancrysts and hp pots. I'm fine with it going back to 160 but more than that is too far.

Lol at backpedaling with Eve. They really did plan him as a raid unit then just shoved him into the banner at the last minute huh? At the rate we're going, by this time tomorrow his TM will be 40% hp and 200% def.

 

[Muku]

But we're getting TM moogles from the raid right? Back on the Bahumut banner I easily maxed out a bunch of Zyrus' TM because of em.

How the hell did you even get a Zyrus at all (I'm assuming you got it.. them on banner)? ><

I only got one on my alt.. and much later on my main. (Thank god I kept 20 of his TM there to get it.) I have never seen another since. But they sure as shit give me Hope and Garnet. Keep your damn Hopes and damn Garnets Gumi. FFS. Tired of being trolled

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Ok did Gumi seriously add fucking artificial lag to battles?

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Not true, still gotta pull a butt load of 4* eves to be "swimming" in hp... and we all know we'd rather 9s

Honestly after 3 9S, I would be more than happy for any other on banner yellow to be an Eve. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point, but I already know 2B gonna troll me in my pursuit of A2 so 300 pulls on the way again!

 

[tuffymon]

But we're getting TM moogles from the raid right? Back on the Bahumut banner I easily maxed out a bunch of Zyrus' TM because of em.

We won't know for 100% until tomorrow, but supposedly yes. We should easily max whatever units we pull, but all know we don't want exclusively a butt load of eves... I won't mind some as long as I do get some 9s

 

[Muku]

"Eves for you, and you, and you, and you...! Please understand."

 

[Niahak]

DS version of CT is good. It's about as snappy as the SNES version and has an extra optional section at the end.

The problem I had with the PSX version is that it took a game that runs like a dream and adds 2-5 second lag everywhere for loading. Part of CT's appeal for me is that it's a game that doesn't waste any of your time.

 

[Rixa]

But we're getting TM moogles from the raid right? Back on the Bahumut banner I easily maxed out a bunch of Zyrus' TM because of em.

Oh yeah true.

BUT

During Bahamut banner I made over 70 pulls and got 0 Zyrus.
I had 40 Zyrus moogles stored for few months before I pulled couple Zyruses.

 

[c-murph]

Oh yeah true.

BUT

I still have 40 Moogles stored for Fry and whatever the other 5* was for just in case... lol. I'll never let them go.

 

[Pejo]

Went back to the simulator, did 3 pulls and this was the 3rd one. My ritual is nearly complete.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

I did TEN 11 pulls (stupidly) on that banner. I don't know what got into me. Reberta hype I guess. But I pulled 8-10 Zyrus and 1 Reberta during that.

Set me up with magic rods for an entire squad though! Still , it was super stupid of me to pull that much.

Now that I'm thinking back to it, I was rage pulling for Reberta. I had so many of her trust moogles and nothing to use them on, so I pulled till I got her. I hope my brain doesn't make me do it on this this banner with 2b or A2......

 

[EDarkness]

Can anyone give me some ideas on how to gear up Rikku? I want to start using her, but every time I try to give her gear, I just stare at the screen for a long time and eventually give up. She's not an attacker, can't use spells, so I'm at a loss as to what to do with her.

Mine has as much HP and MP you can put on her. On both equipment and Materia.

I went for HP, DEF, and SPR focused. I have her above 7k for HP, and her DEF and SPR aren't nearly at tank level, but they are high enough it generally keeps her alive. I think the rest of the stats are pretty much meaningless for her.

You could also try for an evade build since she has an innate 20% stat.

 

[Vashetti]

Any more QoL changes found?

I suggested to Shaly on Twitter the other day that successful Expeditions should give back all/some of your Gil if they're successful, and she liked and responded to it.

So hopefully that gets changed in the future.

This is mine. I plan to slap 2x Jack TM instead those 15% / MRise when tm's are done. Then I may slap 1x Eve tm if I get it.

Taking BFreedom away if its not needed. Discernment will be there all the time.
Or when I do Ribbon, I slap it and change Discernment to something (prolly EMajesty).

 

[Kouriozan]

30% HP is MUCH better, the unit is still bad but I guess people won't be mad to pull it and get "free" HP materia.

 

[Chinner]

Oh yeah true.

BUT

This banner is going to kill me.

Hmmm...that does give me some ideas. Thanks for the suggestions and pics. I might try to mix up what Rixa has setup with some HP materia. Gonna try the event boss fight today and gonna have her around as insurance.

 

[Muku]

I might do dailies on Nier banner. That's the thought anyway. We'll see. I'm holding out though. I need me some OK. (Would be better if they also gave me Tidus to go with OK.. I like elemental chaining with them on JP.) Also can't wait for CG Sakura

 

[robotuw]

Has anybody datamined the Nier sprite animations? The original units looked really good and I'd love to see A2 and Eve in action.

Edit: Found it. Yes! A2's win animation is her greatsword taunt from the game! Eve's limit looks awesome too.

LOL. Yeah I've come to realise that I am one of the younger members in this thread. I didn't really get into gaming until Pokemon Blue (which I think was '98) and Stadium, so I basically missed the snes. I've since gone back and played some of the classics but have yet to get round to Chrono Trigger.
