Man, it kills me that they haven't separated off your friend unit to a separate menu entirely yet, where you can equip stuff independently of your actual teams. Look at FFRK for an example.

I'd love to set up my Noctis for this xp thing, but it's going to screw with my arena team because I have 1 ribbon and it stays on Rem to cure all immunities for my team. You'd imagine this would be an easy QoL thing to fix, but here we are.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Sold all Nier TM Moogles...done with this shitty banner, wont even spend the daily free ticket on it.

Hoarding/Stand-By Mode until Cloud from now on.

My Noctis is on a 20h long expedition so I won't be able to share him for this xp farm, so I'll set up Reberta as she does exactly the same thing.

Okay Drama Mode off for a sec.

Im f2p so i dont have much reason to complain - most other players invested quite a bit of saved up or bought resources, so on some level i obv. cant really expect the same return. But when you arrive at a point where even a Gold Crystal pisses you off and will likely troll you anyways there is no much reason to pull.

Better stop now because it ends in me uninstalling the game lol.

But still great to see that some of us like Rixa did get lucky near the end xD

Ok, Math question for you guys:

If I had this team:

Wilhelm
Tilith
Ace
Ace
Soleil
Flame Veritas

Fighting against Malboro Trial ELT.

Can Wilhelm with about 11k hp and 700 def and 300 spr with +40% all stats buff (tilith) and 30% mitigation (his level 100 move) survive the first turn?

Or do I need additional buffs of some sort? What is more important? Spririt buff or Def buff?

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.
Click to expand...

That's what I mean: Omni is essentially 8*. They've recently allowed you to increase the stats on an omni by making one omni+ up to 3 times using either a duplicate omni or an amount of a specific elemental omni+ material, plus a book for each.

It's 4m zel and 1.5m karma to do it, too. And that increases for each step. Right now to give Eleanor omni+2 I have to have 200 of the elemental, 20 of the book, 5m zel and 2.5m karma.

Guarantee you Sephiroth will be the first 7*
Click to expand...

While I don't doubt there will be a 7* eventually, just like BF, I think the star system in itself is completely stupid and unnecessary.

We already have a sea of completely pointless garbage units that only hit 5* max, which even players that just started this game won't find functionality in (why even put effort into animating those sprites).

I don't see the reason of adding yet another star and essentially making another population of units to become pointless when they have expensive mechanics like skill enhancements that pretty much do the same thing. This is the type of mechanics that get people to quit the game by essentially making their legacy investment worthless; thereby giving them less attachment and more a reason to quit.

Personally, I think all units should hit the max star cap. Its not like the base 3* units are going to be better than base 4* or 5* either way. Having Shadow 6* isn't going to break the meta.

There has to be a better way to introduce power creep without making the majority of units obsolete.

I agree. Some units will simply be better, even at the same star level. But if they DO want ultra-rare units, they already have an avenue for that with 6* base.

I agree, a base 5 will generally beat out anything below it. Why have a system that stops the main point of the game, which is a nostalgia based make your own party and trying to work through various situations... maybe I want a party with Sabin, Cyan, Penelo, Shadow, and Hope... having 4* and 5* crippling units just makes you want to toss them or get angry, let's make it more fun to have diversity where applicable...

I'll quit when the game becomes a hopeless grind or a chore to play. Examples:

I quit Star Wars: GoH when farming for 30% drops and guild raids became the be-all end-all for unit progression. Be sure to join the guild Line/WhatsApp or you get kicked out! Guilds in gacha games are the worst.

I quit Marvel: Future Fight when I had to keep track of a billion resources and go through a thousand screens to increase an attribute of Captain America by 0.1%.

If all the units I've acquired over the year become obsolete I'll want to quit. It's why I deleted Record Keeper.

I agree. Finding different ways of playing the game with series-based units would be fun; such as an FF6-only unit Trail against a FF6 boss for instance.

But the introduction of Loli Rydia and No Face Kain pretty much signals they they would rather introduce new units then upgrade old ones (next we will get 5*-base Opera Singer Celes).

There has to be a more elegant way of introducing these units. Like fusing units or something, or allow units to be broken down into unique materials, for instance DKC plus old Kain can become new one, or 100 old Kains become the new one. Or a branching awakening path where we can see one unit become another version of itself.

An issue that Gumi needs to understand with GL is that we are all looking at JP; that's our beta. If for instance, they do introduce 7* Sephiroth, then what will dominate all conversation on the GL community is who going to get 7*s next, and who will be 'future-proof' (much like how everyone was obsessed with Exdeath at the beginning).

Suddenly, these A2s and 2Bs that we've whaled for has an expiration date. Their functionality drops significantly until they get their 7* form far into the future. This becomes a massive disincentive for investment into the game.

Hopefully Gumi finds a more creative way to incentive future investment without devaluing the current one.

Let's see if next week there will really be a FFVII on JP as the datamined assets suggest. If so, well, that's going to be Sephirot for sure.

Decided to do my final pulls this morning in the hopes of getting 2B finally. I only had 8 tickets (1 4*) and 5085 lapis. Used all my tickets and didn't get anything worth talking about. In my Hail Mary pass (the last real pull I was going to be able to do outside of the daily ticket tomorrow), I saw a rainbow in the bunch and was worried it was going to be another A2, but guess what?

I GOT 2B!!

Whoo hoo!! I ended the banner with every unit and 2 9S units. Probably my most successful banner since I've been playing this game. It was pretty amazing. I'm sooooo happy that I was able to get her in the end. It's back to save mode to rebuild all of my resources. I won't even be pulling dailies.

Congrats to everyone who ended up with what they wanted out of this banner. It was hard fought. Honestly, I'm glad it's over. A huge load off of my shoulders.

And because rates are so bad on Contract... my 2B will remain at 71%. Because Gumi.

I got A2 on alt last night. Realized I had two whole Beastlords. But Contracts out the ass.

Both of my accounts are going to get screwed. So fun. (My main has so many damn 9S Moogles.. ffs and no 9S to use it on.)

I'm up to 200% on 2B moogles (That I have no use for). I did finish my 9S though, so that's something!

I actually want Wind Veritas for his sprite, shame he's not good and if you misclick you're not seeing him anymore for the whole battle lol
Code: 
Physical damage (7.5x) with jump delay ([b]10 turns[/b]) to one enemy

If used after Spineshatter Dive 3:
Physical damage (9x) with jump delay (1 turn) to one enemy

Potential VIP for survival mode if Gumi ever makes one! It'd be fun if they actually gave that move a huuuge multiplier considering the 10 round cooldown. Probably would be too exploitable with 6x Wind Veritas spark chains though.

I'm just happy that WindLord is not a 5* base. I'm only interested in his TM.

LightLord seems good, but not worth chasing.

Not sure about WaterLord, but being a 4*, she'll show up eventually.

Water Veritas has the best TM for summoners but will only be useful for us when she gets her enhancements. That magic mitigation straight break the game.

Yeah, about 10 times on the way to trying for Wind. :D

2.5 9S TM's from 1.2 million coins. Shit sucks. I will TM farm the others eventually I guess. I plan on getting 5 for 5 Xons and seeing how it does absolutely nothing in the Gem Vortex.

Thanks, man. I hope you pull her tomorrow, too. I'm glad they extended the daily with Nier banner and also the free ticket for doing daily quests were great, too. I hope you guys get to take advantage of that somehow.

Now that's done, I have to figure out what's the best way to spec Tidus. Been a real conundrum so far.
