Final Fantasy Brave Exvius |OT5| Our Golden Anniversary Brings Us Hope

$350 spent, not a single rainbow. I'm done. Contemplating deleting the app to free myself from this.

I know it's extremely frustrating to spend so much without getting anything, but this is how gambling works.

Rather than quit the game, try playing it f2p for a change. You'll appreciate the game more when you struggle to accomplish some of the contents. I'm planning to go f2p myself eventually too.

I'm sorry for posting my pull. I'll keep to myself from now on.

Dude, don't take it personally. We're all like that in this community, like a bunch of man-kids debating, cursing etc.

Some are just salty of your pulls since it's one of the best 5k pull here on GAF (I still think Dandte's Orlandu+DV is the best pull), but it'll be forgotten sooner than you think. Don't get discouraged in participating any discussions here.

And if you want to add more friends in game, feel free to leave your friend code here.
 
I need to try that glitch tonight before the reset. I've got the old iPad 3 out of retirement. Working my way through the latest story missions I've got back up to 5k Lapis so I'll give it another 11-pull before the end.
 
Okay... so this glitch....

Can someone run down how it actually works? Like... the actual steps? I've tried beating this damn Robot 13 times now without luck, so I'm willing to try the glitch at least once. I have a GPD XD which might do the trick in terms of using "old hardware".

And is anyone sharing a 2B unit that would work really well for this glitch, or does it not really matter about the actual unit setup? (Other than figuring out a way that they aren't attacked first).

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

Its quite easy from what i understand.
Make sure the hardware you are running the game on is older and uses a 32bit CPU...like a cheap old tablet like the Samsung Galaxy Tab2/3 lite or older iPad/phones.

Choose a 2B friend that doesnt have a Dark or Light weapon equipped because of resist.

Thats pretty much all. I dont know what hardware the GPD XD has...but it might be too modern if it doesnt work. You have to use the Spear move.
 
Looks like Soleil and Randi are getting some global adjustments on their enhancements

I see a nerf coming for Soleil or at least a rebalance (she was able to AoE 120% buff teammates)

They are adding breaks so I have to imagine that the buff value is going to be reduced



As for Randi Im not sure... It kind of looks like they might turn Slice Thrice into a Chaining move?

God i hope they make Randi super duper great.

His sprite is my most favorite in this game. No nonsense aura/wind thing.

so, they nerf Randi enhancement huh?
Mana bond didn't give ATK boost and power charge didn't give LB refill increase?

when you don't have that many strong DPS and even the few you have, Gumi decide to nerf it.

They did buff the his Def, but all in all it still count as nerf.

sigh.

They only listed what's upgraded.

Mana Bond already have +10% atk and there's no change in +1 or +2 so it wasn't listed.

Same goes for Power Chage's 200% LB boost. Since there was no change in it.

I seriously doubt Gumi would nerf an existing skill from +10% to nothing.

Oh i see. So different format in the reddit.
My mistake.

Yes it seems the indeed buff Randi's Hero of the legend, giving additional 15% to DEF and SPR.

Shit, I just learnt Brotherhood is classed as a Sword, not a Great Sword.

This has ruined my plans for Tidus, he'd be worse off equipping it currently as I don't have Dark Knight's Soul (yet).
 
Yup its all there in the base skills

The enhancement announcement in global is only showing the changes

Not removing the base stat upgrades

btw. Anyone rocking a high-end(sub 700) 2B i can use on my alt for a session ? Wanna try once more before its over. 005.742.814 if you can add me.

I have like an hour left lol.

Decided to give JP another try, since I love Lid. Rerolled for her, and I'm already on Lid+Emperor+Yuna+SeaBreeze Fina before leaving the first island. And I've got a guaranteed 5* coming up with the next 5k lapis I farm.

Wonder if global will ever be this user friendly. Probably never, since they halved our mission reward lapis.

Yup, I got it to work on my GPD.
Robot defeated with all rewards. Thanks to Sean for sharing his 2B unit.

Don't forget the water imperil on his limit break and the elemental chain with another brotherhood wielding Tidus. Granted Jecht Shot also gets you there.

Currently I have mine equipped with Genji Blade, Excalibur, Blade Mastery and Large Sword Mastery

Putting Brotherhood on him would be a marked drop in damage output :(

In pure attack it'd be a drop; especially if you don't have an attack 30% to replace the mastery. But in a short fight with a friend Tidus I'd imagine the elemental chains would outpace the difference; and in a long fight being able to take advantage of his strong 5 turn water imperil would win out fairly easily.

Although, since Orlandeu is more common than Tidus maybe it is easier to just roll with Excalibur for a while.

Shit, all you folks able to do this are making me scramble around!

No old devices on my possession, no friends who have anything, etc. Guess I'll miss out on this...

Only other option I can think of is having someone on GAF login my account and do it, lol!

Asking same than cw_sasuke

Wanted 2B (lvl 100) owners in my friendlist. Could some of you swap 2B so it has sub 700 ATK.

Kthxbye. I have more than one hour :p
 
What're the chances Nier comes back after this?

I would say pretty good but it could be a year before they do it again or maybe they will roll it into a promotion for the next Nier game

Or tie it into the remaster of the original. Who knows. There really isnt a precedent outside of what they have done with Brave Frontier

$350 spent, not a single rainbow. I'm done. Contemplating deleting the app to free myself from this.

If it makes you feel any better, I stupidly spent even more than that on this banner. I don't even know why I wanted them so bad; I haven't even played Nier yet.

Though I DID end up with 2B, and she's kind of awesome, I feel pretty ashamed of myself for what it took to get her.
 
Low cactuar rates aren't surprising it's a pool of 10 units, it's so diluted.

I'm more wondering why we get so much magicite....like who needs that shit?
 
To those with 2B set as friend unit, could you please keep them up today? Won't be able to test glitch until I get home from work today, which is still like 7 hours away.

Thanks!

Jason Kidd murdered my dog in cold blood!
Okay last question. Start with A2 and not much else or Gilgamesh/Meliadoul/warrior of light/9s? Seems A2 is best unit but other account has more useful dudes.

So has anyone beaten my record of 200 pulls and no 9S? Boy they really fucked this game for me with these stacked banners.

I'll make an attempt later today! I stopped pulling last night after I got A2 to level and equip her, but I have 215 tickets to go and no 9S yet. Did get 2 Eve though. Fuck that guy.
