Congrats all except Rixa. You arent allowed to pull new units. You are forever our Ace carry!
Damn that troll Rosa everywhere.
Anyways now you will hate me more
Make it 2 of those, other one will have Swordbreaker and something else in Body slot. Otherwise same stuff. MP shouldn't be an issue. I just need to get that another Pod done (going to use Lapis for raid).
Noctis it does everything.
Haha...nice perfect for Noctis.
I will just have to live my Pod 153 chaining dreams through you lol.

So you are saying, I need to equip Ace with Pod 153

So I've been thinking about something recently: when do you think you will quit this game?
Every week we have people saying they'll quit if x y and z happens but it's usually just a reaction to some bit of news. The obvious answer is when the game gets boring but I'm wondering if there is something that will actually trigger you to leave.
For me I've said from the beginning I'll stop when/if 7*s become a thing. The reason I always said that is because it would mark the start of a new, long era in the game, so it would be a good place for me to stop and feel satisfied. At least that was the thought process. Now I play JP too so I may just quit one of my accounts when that happens. Seeing as it would happen in JP first it may be fun to keep going on that account, especially as it's relatively new, and retire my GL account. We'll see when the time comes I guess.

Yea congrats on that second 9S! I got 2 early on and it's been a relief. Definitely don't think I'll be able to max the TM for both with these abysmal rates.Thank you sir. But Iam more happy about 2nd 9S
Sent a request, need more strong GAF friends!

I'm getting close, Alkez. Between NRG, arena orbs, raid orbs, and expeditions, I have three too many things to check on. I've been ignoring the arena outside of my initial 5, only doing the minimum raids and am still sitting on 260K raid coins, and expeditions are mostly in hand.
And yet I'm still annoyed. I know I'm just salty from the past couple months of pulls but when you're very close to the top of what you can do with your current units and available TMs it starts to get pretty boring pretty fast.
I'm holding out for now, but this is the closest I've been to done since I started a year ago.

When they shut the servers off. I'm here for the long haul. I enjoy the hell out of the game and its challenges. At some point one has if they still enjoy the game. If not, why play something you don't enjoy. If you do enjoy then keep on playing. What I do notice and can relate to is how shit the rates are for a unit you want. Some people get lucky and get the unit in a daily pull and some have to spend close to $1000 to get a freaking unit. There needs to be some middle ground.
Honestly I don't know, as I said yesterday I'm still having tons of fun, but if it happens it would probably be because of awful string of events / new features or when the content is so hard it requires perfect chaining/ultra specific units for limited events.
But as of now I don't see myself quitting anytime soon.
Hoarding is also helping me staying determined too x)
Also, learning all the awesome stuff JP is getting and knowing we'll get them (someday) makes me pretty excited, even if it's been 15 months since I started playing.
White damage magic change (based on SPR), summoners getting more powerful, and that famous blue magic getting there someday, aaaah I can't wait!

Dunno, I doubt it's anytime soon, but I will say my interest is probably the lowest it's been in a long time. For instance this Story event coming on Friday, I couldn't be less excited to do another one already. As I said yesterday I think my interest will continue to decline the next few months as their are about 10-15 games coming out I plan on getting that will take up my time. Mario Odyssey is probably going to be the big Exvius time killer for me, I finally plan to start bringing my Switch to work, and will probably play that during downtime instead of this. I still don't think I will quit, but you never know. I have dropped mobile games I didn't think I would quit quite suddenly before.

Before you quit, please provide feedback to your bosses and tell them to remove the whale flag from my account plz
I want to reach the end of Season 1/FFIX event at least. That'd feel like a proper time to quit if I decide to do it.
My interest in the game has dropped quite a bit the past few weeks. You need a pretty decent time investment to get the best stuff and that has gotten a bit annoying to me. Also, my luck has been terrible lately. However, the main thing that has dropped my interest is JP. When I luck at future banners I see nothing that excites me too much and that's disappointing. The latest FFIV JP banner really killed me haha.

I don't know if you have been following my trials and tribulations on defeating Aigaion elite this week. It's been my goal since I discovered that his arm, and fist mastery are part of the BiS for A2.
Well today I did it. Final party:
Tilith - recovery and MP battery
Rikku - LB when available or hypernullall/ backup megapheonix
Ace - imperil and item whore/MP battery
WoL- light is with us, Bushido-freedom, repeat
A2 - crimson saber equipped,
Friend A2- fire element sword required.
That was nerve racking. I ended up taking two world destroyers, but I double stacked the 80% threshold one with the first turn he would normally do a world destroyer. He was preparing the 3rd one at 8%, but there was no way to kill his arm and body at the same time. So I had to eat the +50% hp on right arm. Took two turns for right and then 2 more turns for left. I was able to get 1 more Rikku LB from killing the body which likely saved me four turns on right arm

I'll put a post-it on Fujimoto's door, or in his jacket pocket for you.
When the community dies.
I've played enough MMOs in my time to know that mechanics are rarely what keep me. If this was a single-player game that I didn't talk about with anyone, it would be a cute diversion but I would have dropped it within the first month or two.
Ups and downs, highs and lows. Global surprises, goofy memes, in-jokes, teasing friends when I hit a luck streak, raging when I go bust, commiseration when someone falls on hard times, shared triumph when someone gets that rainbow they've been chasing. Making long-ass posts, making bad predictions, making errors. Et cetera. When there're no people - or not enough, or not the right people - I'll bid Lapis (the world, not the currency) goodbye.
...
That or when Monster Hunter World releases. Whichever comes first.

This is about right for me. Once I stop enjoying the game overall, I'm done. Though, if I see a lack of improvements, or Gumi kind of phoning it in, this may speed it up.
The beginning of the year was fantastic, and we had a couple months worth of GL exclusive units and events. Besides this Nier banner, which has been a real shitshow, what happened to that momentum? If the game is just going to become a delayed JP version, I might as well just play on there. They're more generous, the most wanted improvements on our side are already in there, and I have a pretty rad group of units.
The anniversary was spectacular and really helped me obtain some strong upgrades, but since then Gumi just seems to be stuck in a rut.
I love the game, considering how much time I've put into it, but I'm also branching out a bit. Right now I'm really into and hoping SINoALICE is released globally, for example.

This hurts my brain... that's so much money!!!
I'll quit when the community goes. I'm still hanging on p&D and that GAF community has largely died. Record keeper is a bit more active. However I also haven't spent money in p&D since last December.

I've played and still play a lot of these gacha games, probably to my own detriment. I doubt I'll ever quit FFBE. They hit the perfect balance of new content and compelling reasons to use the gacha, and if they continue, I'll keep playing. Definitely taking a step back on pulling, but not going to stop pulling outright because that's half the fun.

Yes, please right your wrongs as noted above. Kthnxbye!

This looks interesting (exp farm):

I set up noctis like that if you guys want to try.

Pretty much pre-ordered once it became available. I have a good group on PS4 though and its always fun times. About 8-10 of us on any given night to run any content. If i didn't i'd prob jump on PC.
Talked this at Discord earlier. Not surprised if its fixed tomorrow and maintenance will last longer than 6h.

I'm planning on being here until the bitter end. You're right though, if 7* units pop up its going to make me want to throw in the towel.

Pretty sure that's when I quit Brave Frontier. It's like a kick in the nuts.

BF just got Omni+, in fact. So, essentially, 8* and then special item or duplicate unit (plus a special item) and a ton of zel/karma for increasing an omni unit's stats.
Depends. I got Eve & 9S TM finished before I had AB2 100%.
Now Iam at 130% 9S whilst Virtuous C is at 85%.

Omni by itself was already 8*, so now you can increase a base Omni even more? So glad I stopped playing that game...what the shit.
It confuses the hell out of me too. BF is one of those "Check in, see what's going on, forget about for a while" games for me.
Like across, the community is mainly the reason I keep playing. If enough people here leave I'll probably leave too. Aside from that, I don't know what my exact breaking point would be but if Gumi made enough bad decisions in a row that would cause me to lose interest and quit. A new 7* tier with .1% drop rate or too many limited banners are obvious ones. Right now it feels like Gumi is slowly bleeding goodwill but there's plenty of opportunity for them to fix that in the coming months.
Its Beasts of the Dark ADV all over again.
I've whaled other mobile games and the reasons I've quit is primarily due to a gameplay mechanic addition or change that made it untenable for me to continue. Its usually a change that made the game too time consuming or required too much of my attention for me to continue. This is particularly a problem with PvP or competitive-centric games where falling behind can become detrimental to the overall gameplay experience as progress is tied to competitiveness.
For FFBE is single-player focused, and arena is a joke. The biggest downside of not keeping up seems to be the limited trails. I think I can keep playing this game, even without being in full whale-mode, as long as content gets released and the game keeps me busy. I'm not even close to being caught up with the story as well as I'm busy with events and TM farming and such.
