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

Did a 10+1 and used a bunch of tickets to bring me down to a nice even 150. No 2B or second A2, but DKC popped out of a rainbow... Picked up another Eve and 9S for good measure too. Only new unit was Rosa (how have I missed her this entire time?).

Wait. You have no eve? How is that possible. I feel like that's all they give out.

Hail from beyond, as I seemingly have little time to post these days.

The damage total for my GF and my accounts for the Nier (combined):

0 on-banner rainbows
4 off-banner rainbows (me: Lunera x2, her: Ace, Olive)
6 9S (me: 4, her: 2)
0 Eve

That's right, NEITHER of us pulled a single Eve.

3123923023923286 (give or take a few) off-banner Golds.

Grats on the 9s, Muku!

I got 3 9S and 3 Eve, somehow the wife got 3 9S with no Eve. Did around 300 summons between us and our only rainbow was her Luneth (booo). Sounds like you guys had pretty good luck, even if you didn't get the banner ladies.

I have been playing this for a while now, but the FFT + Nier banners is what hooked me hard for these past few weeks.

FFT, I got almost nothing. A fuck ton of Almas, but nothing else. Thankfully, I managed to get a Meliadou off-banner, but I still want Ramza.

Either way, I saved most of my tickets (a lot: 40+ common, 1 4*, 10 EX, 2 10+1) and used them all during the Nier banner. I got everyone, except for A2 and 2B, the one's I wanted the most.

So, I was without almost any lapis and no tickets, so I started relying on daily pulls and whatever summoning ticket they would give. A few days ago, I got A2 on a daily pull and I was fucking livid. Very, very happy.

So I started grinding to get, at least, 5k lapis. "Grind" because I still am in the beginnings of the story mode since I mostly play on events.So I got little by little and ended up with 6k. I had already wasted my daily pull and today was the last day. The plan was to have a 10+1 pull using 5k and other 2 using the remaining lapis.

Here I was, the whole day, waiting for the right time to make the pull. For the whole day I felt without the will of doing anything and just late night that I started playing SF V with friends that I got more animated. I boot up the game while I am still on the adrenaline from the SF V matches and make the 5k pull.

A gold crystal appears, but I still believe....

That's when I see that shiny rainbow in the corner of the screen. I watch it closely and the screen fades and it shows.....


......2B !

I got so freaking happy that I didn't knew if I commemorate or continue my SF V online match. So I decided to do both as I was freaking happy for the pull while kicking some ass online in a single euphoria moment. Getting all Nier Automata characters (which is one of my favorite games this year) was a fucking thrill and probably my best moment with the game so far.

If anyone is still pulling, good luck. Believe you can get it and I hope you do.

Grats on the 9s, Muku!

Thank you!



Seph, woah! Congrats!!!


I've been refreshing. Hoping for some kind of love from Gumi. Gumi has been shitting on my dreams tonight for Contracts. So close yet so far. However, I did just finish up 9S's. Woot woot.

About to stop running the raid as the moogles I do need aren't dropping(for 2nd 9S and 2nd Eve tmr's).Completed A2, 2B, 9S, Eve, 2IO and a few Adams

Event total: Probably 40-50 tix and 4(maybe 5) multi draws gave me:
2nd DV(5* ticket)
D Fina
A2
2B
2 x 9S
And a bunch of useful 4*(3 Rasler and 3 Victoria among others).

The Echidna fight is such bullshit. You have to deal with so much RNG it's not funny. Got it down to 57%, was going slow and steady then suddenly I wiped and didn't even know what happened lol.

My Nier dream is dead, neither 2B or A2 graced me with their presence. So I guess I'll keep you guys company who also got neither.
 
I'm in a similar boat. I have 4755 atm, but I've beaten every normal story mission. I probably have enough undone explorations to scrounge up the 245 stones. Gonna give it a look later. After this banner, I'm going on a pull hiatus outside of tickets for mog events. May try and save up for the 3% change.

I also blew my last 15 tickets:
4*+ - Grace
Leo
9S (5th)
Grace
Vaan
21O
Bran
Lenna
Mustadio
Penelo
21O
Mustadio
Eve (2nd)
21O
Rydia

 
Is Rixas Ace with status immunity still up? I want to try Malboro tonight.

Second attempt, went in with two 2Bs, two Rikkus, Setzer and Ace.
On one of the turns. it killed all my units, killed them all again in the same turn, thus negating the Rikku revive. So, what in the world do you even do about that? Did I just get unlucky?

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Sry Adawg :-/

I did get a final Mechanical Heart TM Moogle so i could finish it...so still mad about the Banner but at least its ending on a somewhat positive note.

For me as F2P the banner/raid was excellent. Got a lot of new equips, new TMs(my tanks are at least happy tnx adam) and the shit load of magicites was very nice, got 3 espers to 2*. Only got 1 9S but still I'm very pleased.

What to do about all these other moogles though...

Yeah it's bad. You probably got hit with flare. It'll mess you up good, so around 50% you need to start keeping a spr buff up or you'll get flattened.

Thinking of doing some enhancements for Soleil, you only need to enhance 2 dances to eventually get max stat buffs right from turn 3 right?

Despite common sense I spent 41 more tickets and 10K lapis for 10+1 summons and no A2 or 2B :( As tempted as I am to do one more 10+1, I think i'm going to stop here.

I got a consolation Wilhelm, but I already have Earth Veritas, WOL, and Cecil.

Well, Nier is done. It was quite a thing. For better or worse I think it'll be an event that will go down in history in this game and this community.

Final Tally:

155 pulls with 6 of those guaranteed 4* from tickets or 11x

25 21O (16.1%)
2 9S (1.2%)
8 Eve (5.2%)
1 2B
1 A2
(also 1 Zarg, 1 Lightning, and a million off-banner golds)

Raid Summon:
170% 21O
190% 9S
180% Eve
695% Adam
100%+ A2 (sold them after the first 100%)
100%+ 2B (sold them after the first 100%)

I think I did around 100 pulls.

2 2Booty
4 9S
2 Eve
Around 25 21O

I wish just one of those rainbows was A2. Really tempted to go for one last attempt.

But there's a twist! I sold all the tm's 10 minutes before :-(
And i have no mats to awaken to 6* lol.

Spent the last 2 hours doing raid refills and was only able to get her to 45%. Gonna finish in the top 2k for the taid though lol. This was a fucking hail mary down to the wire. Now back to stacking.

Fuck Eve

Its over folks

I did get my 2nd 9S Pod153 to 85% and climbed in raid to ~4400 placement. Also got my 3rd Mechanical Heart done, got 2x 21O (both at 0%) left. One Eve and 2B was also done.

All in all I got more Pod153 moogles than Resentments, about same amount of every Nier unit moogles, so no abudance of Beastlords or Virtuous Contracts. Maybe BLord was most "common".

Fuck Eve

This is the first time I've ever had a legitimate "fuck this game" reaction. Over the course of two weeks:

- 10+1 ticket.
- 5000 lapis pull
- Every daily pull
- 15 to 20 scattered tickets I had or earned
- Used a $25 Google Play credit to buy the package with like 10 regular tickets and one 4* ticket
- Spent $20 to hit another 5000 in lapis and get another 4* ticket

Not a single A2 or 2B. God dammit.

Had so many burst pots in my inbox I got EVs LB to max with ease. Have enough to do one more unit (A2 why?!?) so will probably level Noctis' in hopes it gets the JP buff.

About to spend all of my raid coins. 485k. This is going to take at least an hour lol.

Edit: this moogle rate...

Edit #2: got just enough moogles to get 1 2B and 1 9S TM. Didn't even get enough to get an Eve TM lmao.

How many 9S TMs do I need? I'm thinking two is fine and will use the remaining 3 I have to farm 1.

This is exactly how I got my second A2. Sold all her moogles I had acquired, did a pull, there she was.


My overall total,

2 A2
1 2B
2 9S
1 Eve
20+ 210

Basically, they went too far. They wanted to break macros/magnification but ended up hurting all non-iOS users and will be fixing that later while keeping macros/magnification broken. From the context, it would appear they found a way to completely stop macros all together.

Translation:

Thank you for playing Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.

With regard to the Android/SQMK/Kindle versions of FFBE, on 8/21, in order to comply with newly defined regulations, UI and functional adjustments were made with the purpose of shutting down some external tools and functions (TL Note: magnification, macros, etc.).

However, since the 8/21 update, we have received a large number of inquiries with regards to users having difficulty with the chaining of certain units.

Upon careful investigation with regards to this situation, we have confirmed that even users who were not making use of the concerned functions were also experiencing difficulties under certain conditions.

Further investigation has shown that we are able stop the effects of the concerned functions; as such, we will be instigating another update within the coming days.

After this new update, users not making use of the concerned functions will be able to operate under the same conditions as they were able to prior to the 8/21 update.

We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused and ask that you please wait a little bit longer for the new update.

We look forward to your continued support of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Development Team

tl;dr: The 8/21 update did in fact break tools assisting with chaining intentionally, but it also effected those not using those tools. Another update will be applied shortly that will leave those tools broken, while restoring functionality when not using them.

Lets Hope Global can use magnifying tools in the future too.

Shit, I have a feeling this is going to come sooner to GL once they fix the inherent issues...

I doubt it's coming to GL at all. Macroing is too ingrained into the GL userbase at this point. Too many people would shit on them all over social media and quit.

We're likely never getting the Chocobo TM stuff in turn though.

Edit: Plus they almost certainly make a good chunk off money off people doing Lapis Refeshes for TM farming in GL. Macroing was banned in JP from the start, but GL it's been allowed on GL from the start and a lot of Lapis has been spent on it.

Time to equip your Xon's with Pod153 and add it as friend leader.

Kthxbye

I'm able to do this, but how come? Is it due to the Story event and Crysts?

Daily pull today was a Veritas!....of the Earth. How random, my first Veritas though :).

Well I managed to get my 9S to 95% Trust from the Raid coin rewards, then sold the rest of the coins. Used 5 1% Moogles to top it up to 100. Loved all the Gil and XP rewards as usual, maxed out quite a few units.

Still ignoring Malboro, until I get Rikku's Pouch and a couple of other TMs which will help more. Is it worth getting two pouches by the way? As I have two Rikku's.

Sticking to Daily pulls this banner and still saving up all my tickets for Cloud...;)

Didn't get 2B or A2 during the NieR banner...need space so just sold 21 Virtuous Contract and 22 Beastlord TM Moogles :(

I think it might be a stretch to interpret "external functions/tools" as macro, as they've used very specific language referring to them in the past, but I do think they mean to stop magnification trick.

I'm able to do this, but how come? Is it due to the Story event and Crysts?

Yes, people farming story event can use Xon to increase quality, and pod153 to increase quantity of drops.

I'm running 4 Xons and an Ace (for MP battery), and they do seem to work. But its usually hard to farm the very last story event with all Xons given that the boss is usually reasonably strong.

Ah shit, so I used 4 tickets. Elle, Clyne, Russell, and what I think may be my first rainbow ticket pull...



Now I'm pretty much good to go!!

Congrats!!! She is awesome! You're on a roll recently!
 
Congrats!!! She is awesome! You're on a roll recently!

Yea thanks I'm very shocked! Haha. I almost used my last 5k on a multi but decided against it to use some tickets. I'm actually looking forward to checking her out considering she's another hybrid, which I love. I've been constantly telling lady luck that I wouldn't mind a dupe Fry.
