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

Exclusive to those who attended the fan fest event in France.

In other words, potentially just as expensive, if not more, than some pulls for specific units.

Meh. None of these FFBE events are even coming to PNW so the whole thing is bullocks. Of course, they're so limited to where they even are. (Not that shit really seems to come to the PNW anyway, ugh.)

Considering the fest was entirely about the Global version, Sephirot should be coming to us before JP. We should get Balthier + Penelo and the usual 4* next week and hopefully Nier after that or at very least until the end of the month.

Another day, another single bomb encounter for the event. This grind is serious.

At least you see one, I'm still at 0 rare encounter for this event with 27 Tiamat kills but I'm not surprised, at normal rates my luck is awful.
Brave Frontier was too good for us.

Today's support crysts in the vault were nice, still waiting for the first ones as the support said they were looking into that issue.

Looking over Natza's post.

No more unit nerfs, so the Nier Characters will at least be unaltered. Sucks though for future Collabs, where we may always have to wait or get different characters if we want it sooner.

Can't seem to find anything else on the 3% Rainbow, but if true. I expect it by the end of August. Anything announced, they've typically released it within a month or so. Or going back to the first announcement, they had them in order.

Looks like Noctis will be enhanced to be the JPN version... question is, will it be through enhancements or a buff to him once his banner comes again. We could see it much sooner too, since he wasn't tied to a banner, but a story event.

As I said Earlier, Nier will be the next raid. We should get the Story Event this week, followed by New Continent and Enhancements next.

And Ramza's Enchancements will probably be here in the following batch or one after(August/Sept).

Sweet sweet rewards

Nazta is already OP in both JPN and GLB. so dont think he need more enhancement :p.
I know you mean Noctis shin. :D

Isn't the Metal Gigantuar raid the next one? It was data mined, and according to the banner it's happening during the anniversary period

This is how expectations get out of hand.

They were asked about the 3% change, they said it would be coming. Which is a perfect example of a 'no shit, Sherlock' answer. Obviously it's coming. They didn't say when - although "in 2018" keeps getting repeated on Reddit, yet I have no idea where the source of this is - but now, through the game of telephone, it's Gumi 'announcing' the 3% rainbow change.

No. They didn't announce anything. They answered a question at a fan event. There's nothing on their Twitter or Facebook account saying 'Please be excited for 3% rainbow rates.' There's also nothing on either of those accounts saying 'We're very sorry we aren't bringing the Dragon Quest event to GL, please be excited for future collaborations.'

Factoring in our GL exclusive 5* bases, our pool is about 19 5* units smaller than Japan's at the time they received the change. I may be off by one or two, I just did a quick scan of JP's schedule. We currently have 24 5* base units in our pool.

I'm not saying they aren't going to release a video update next week talking about how they're fast-tracking the 3% change out of the goodness of their hearts. I don't work for Gumi (unlike Hippo). But I am going to say hoping and wishing for a triple rainbow rate to release when our pool is nearly half the size of JP's when they received the change may not be realistic.

That asset, along with Artisan Lid, appears to have been solely for the Fan Festa that just occurred. Doesn't look like it'll be coming to the game itself.

Didn't see it in Natza's notes, hence why I'm questioning it. Announcements typically come pretty soon.

Outside of the crap Mog King raid pulls, Gumi is killing it lately

I dunno, energy free Crystals, Cacturs, Rank, and Gold is always nice.

Small question, what is the difference between Mog Wisdom and Jack's TM.

Jack's TM says 2, so I assume it adds 2 crystals per turn, while Mog is 50%, so I assume it's 1.5x?

[JP] Managed to beat the hard exploration. For where I'm at in the game it was tough, but managed to get through it (thanks to Shouta's Basch). Back to grinding Cactuar Dunes. Got Lunera up to max. Need to work on getting her enhancements soon.

The fan festa looks like such goofy fun. Hope the giant Moogle appears when it heads to New York.

Yup. Jack's TM gives you 2 crystals per turn, Mog Wisdom increases what you get from LB crystals by 50%. Percentage increases don't work on flat gains, so equipping both does not give you 3 crystals per turn.

Whenever the crystal buff happens, it'll be awesome, even more so if it's during the Nier collaboration. I was wondering how they may handle the Noctis buffing / ring (if they do that too), and all I could think of was an exchange event, so the old Noctis get's removed and it gives you a new one, same with the ring. If my thought is right though, hopefully it's the same level and LB and not both reverted to 1.

Been thinking about the Robot trial, since it coming real soon.

Ashe x2 - Chaining(heaven's fury)
Rikku - Damage mitigation and Auto Revive
Wol - Brave Presences
Rem - Boomerang and Auto revive
Zargabaath(Companion) - MP battery,support, and highest attacker.

This is the only one I can think of right now with the units I have, I was thinking about enhance Noctis to replace Zargabaath. I have no idea how long this will take though... not looking forward to it.

Still no Fran upgrade?????

I got four Ignorances right meow. Does anyone ever get 3 drops per turn tm?



Except from Balthier.

Gumi denies him that. He's like "I ain't got time for no scrub." :p

I was hoping she would get some boost too. ;_;

Daily... Vaan. Mmm, I guess I can try a 3 Vaan run.

No, although Kelsus and Elfried's TMs are accessories that give 2/turn, which should? stack with Ignorance. Max 12/turn in that case.

I can confirm Kelsus's TM, and 3 Ignorance can stack together. Give Rikku Limit break after every 2 turns!.

That feel when you're all hyped up to do a trial... but your tank is out on an expedition... >.>;

Or your healer, or someone else critical on your A-team....

... and its a 12/24h expedition.

/facepalm



Another day, another Vaan. Whoohoo?

24 hours... just 10 1/2 to go when I realized >.>; Way more tokens then I'm willing to spend to go now...

Wanted to do Echidna with Wol, Noctis, Gilgamesh, Zarglebargle, and Tilith, was feeling good too...

Right now my team is
Cecil - tanking healer
Zyrus - magic
Lighting - attacker 1
CoD - attacker 2
Rain - Stat breaking/buffing

I have rikku but I don't know who replace, maybe CoD?
Also I have warrior of light but if I replaced my Cecil there is no healer in the party.


Pd:there is some FFXII units worthy?

What are you trying to do? For everyday things you don't need a tank or healer.

New enhancements are coming for Balthier, Knight Delita, Mercenary Ramza, Meliadoul Orran, Ashe, Rasler, and Vaan. Most of them look pretty great but just how great will depend on the changes. Balthier looks like he got the big upgrade though.

I wasn't really impressed by Mercenary Ramza's (cause I have him) despite him getting 5 (which to me speaks for the kind of position he was in before). I don't really get what his role in the team is meant to be, even with the enhancements.

I'm sure you've done all of the story content by now. Could you give me a spoiler tagged rundown of the relationships between
Axter, Raegen and Lasswell
and what happened in that scene with them talking?

If I had 2 of them I'd prob consider having them both on team as very tanky chainers. Give one of them horn cradle materia (aoe 100% def/spr buff) and let the other provide atk/mag (depending on how much the enhancements boost it)

I'm kinda surprised we still didn't get a new players' choice banner.
Might just indicate we're too far behind the schedule to lose a week doing that.
