I still think the first 7* will be a current unit upgraded from 6-7.

Damn, Seph looks great. That'll definitely be an eventual get for me.
Burned a 3* EX ticket to get the "summon a unit" mission today and lucked out with Water Veritas.
Also, this happened yesterday:
I had no idea her LB was so cool, she flies over the UI at the bottom of screen, lol. Wasn't expecting that the first time I saw it.
It's kinda crazy the units I got in the past 2 months. I went from having 0 5* chainers to having almost all of them in duplicate.
2 Light Veritas
2 Dark Veritas
2 Orlandu
2 Tidus
2 Knight Delita
2 Dark Fina
2 Dark Fina Swimmers
2 Trance Terra
I'm really excited to finally have a good Hybrid unit since I missed Fry. Sucks about the light element attached, but she's better than Bartz for sure.

[JP] Damn so Seph is finally coming! And he's not a 7*...
Long wait commences.
Nothing spectacular with my daily today. Another Hayate.

Terra Battle 2, will be released soon (in 1-2 weeks time they say).
FP summon could come really fast here. Something to do with FP.
Holy shit at these JP news, the game will become so much better its not even funny. I can't put into words how happy I'm at the repeated events, I'll finally be able to get the fuck ton of equipments I'm missing.
Right now I have 25k lapis for Sephirot, I'll probably get to 30k by the time the banner drops, RNG gods please bless me.
These are the QoL changes I'm excited the most:

Close to an year, but doesn't matter because we are not following any reasonable order so it's impossible to know.
I don't give two shits about FF7 so Sephiroth and Cloud can both go sit on their respective over-sized swords
. Hippo is right, if there is a 7* it will be an awakening to a 5* base first, then the slow crawl towards an eventual 6* base. It could happen at any time but Sephiroth is a good candidate (although, would they make their first 7* a villain?).
I'm much more intrigued by these QoL changes, particularly to repeat. It's not really clear what they are saying about it though. QoL changes in JP are almost bad news now actually. Gumi has been better about rolling them out if they aren't already done in JP, like the hp%. If JP does them it locks them behind ~8 months worth of updates.
(Tifa, Cid, and Red XIII are aiight)

Lol that's too OP. No weapon has ever breached 150 yet, let alone 200. I'm guessing 150 at most. Most likely 140-145.
But we all know he'll be broken af. Then Squall will come and will be even more broken.

The strongest katanas in JP right now are Virtuous Contract (130), Hoemaru (120, Fire Element), Ise-no-Kami (114), Murasame Kai (111), and Hyomon-to (110, Ice Element)
2 of them are from limited units so my guess is that Masamune will be a 145 weapon and maybe a 150-160 one. 145 is very likely though which would make it tied with the strongest weapon in the game.

O damn Sephiroth is so perfect for me. I wanted Onion Knight because half my friends list is him and he can fire chain. Did an 11 on the step banner, got trash, and decided to wait to see if Sephiroth will be announced. Not only was he announced but he chains with OK. I am so ready for this. Got my 10% 5* ticket, 5 4* tickets, and just under 20k lapis. Please RNG be good to me.

Can I hope alongside this that we can get a Selphie healer/support that's 4-6? Please?
Give Selphie a slot ability with a 1% chance to trigger 'The End' with 100% AoE unblockable death.

Good lord that ability broke FF8. I was so upset with myself after using it to beat Omega Weapon. I reloaded the save just to make sure I didn't kill him with it.
Yeah, but FF8 was broken in so many ways you didn't even need it. Omega Weapon being maybe the one exception unless you got way into Triple Triad. I miss games that were that broken. It felt so cool to figure out how to get Lionheart on the first disk.

That sounds awesome! I want to see this
Its basically same thing in every game that has Global server and own JP server. PaD gets shitton of goodies in JP vs GL, OPTC same thing and I bet there are alot of others.
Competition in JP is so fierce and well in Global they milk us and give only part of what JP gets.
@Shouta can(?) say more about how gacha games GL vs JP generally go with freebies.

JP versions have way stiffer competition and have huge potential revenue in that market so they need to build their player base while attracting newer customers at the same time, hence the periodic giveaways. Bribing them with candy, etc.
However, that doesn't really apply so to BE and a few other GL versions like Dokkan Battle. GL for BE has way better stuff regularly (10+1, tickets, moogles) where JP is very punctuated, coming in solid chunks then it dries up for awhile. JP does get what amounts to about 160 Lapis a day though: arena, login rewards spread across a week, daily missions. Otherwise, it's mostly meh stuff like evo mats.

The battery in my tablet is on its last legs and I plan to get the battery replaced. I fear I will lose my game and I wonder it there is a way to back up the game other than Facebook?
I have backed up everything onto my computer but I don't know if it will hold onto the save data.

Facebook is the only way on Global. Which is a damn shame.

Well....Ayaka then Sephiroth for me lol. Hoarding starts now.
Hippopuncher12

I'll be honest once the 3% change comes I will probably start chasing everything again. Until then Ayaka is the only chase, maybe Cloud....maybe, depends on how all the DH/TDH shit works on Global. I will do one multi pull on every Mog King though just for some bonus.
I want to tackle Aigaion soon but I'm trying to decide who to bring and which method to take. I don't have Ace, Rem, Lunera or Meladioul so I'm asumming the brute force method is the best. In that case, I'm planning on bringing:
WoL
Rikku
Tilith
2B
Friend 2B
I'm still trying to figure out who's the last unit I should be bringing. I also have A2, Elza, and Fryevia as well. Or should I go with another support option like another Rikku to make things safer?

I feel like game balance is all over the place lately. It's a crap shoot as to what the highest difficulty even means anymore.
Hopefully the guy doesn't mess up the tablet when changing the battery.

Yea wish I saved that ticket now. Oh well, still have plenty of story to go so I will definitely go hogwild for Seph on JP.
[JP] Don't really care much for Sephiroth as a character and so far everything I've heard about his kit is pretty boring. More dmg and chains isn't exactly something I'm lacking in, higher imperils leave me rather cold too.
Of course this all could change once we actually get the data. So far I'm more curious about the monk girl, shame her TMR is another pair of knuckles rather than a high atk armor or something. Also really interested in the 4* unit who seems like an upgraded Mistair.
Will pull regardless though since it's an MK event, probably just a 5k and some tickets. Need to save for upcoming anniversary. Chasing an unit on a split banner is a bad idea as a f2p anyway and I have a feeling in the upcoming months we'll see a couple more "hoooly fuck!" tier units.
All the QoL/Game changes sound really nice, probably the best news from nico.

As a new JP player and considering what I've been through here and there, the only thing GL has over JP is the expedition mode and the recent QoL change, the expeditions indeed allow us to get a lot of Moogles and LB pots. Literally everything else is way better on JP and probably won't ever be as good when we reach their content on Global, when you compare the lapis rewards specifically, it really put things in perspective how much they rob Global players.

I think I'm the only person on GAF skipping Ayaka lol. The next rainbow I'll be going for on GL will be Year 2 Fina. Even though I want different units between JP and GL main teams she is the perfect unit for the team I'm trying to build.

I'm probably only going to go after Ayaka and then Sephiroth unless something comes out of left field.
Unfortunately I know I'm going to break my bank chasing him. My inner 12 year old is already screaming the (wrong) lyrics to One Winged Angel at the top of his lungs just thinking about it.

Dunno what I want next. I actually got everything with Nier and have the same problem of not feeling any need to pull. Guess I'll save what I can until I get back to ~100 tickets and plan for Mystair. Maybe try for Ayaka unless Gumi fuck that banner up.
Just finished EV's TM. That's enough to bump 2B above 1k atk! A month ago I couldn't get any of my units above 1k and now I can get two at the same time! (A2 and 2B) Once a few more TMs are done I'll even be able to get Orlandu up to nearly 900 atk too. Then my savage physical squad will be complete.

Let's look at these rewards for for GL in July
That equates to 15 summons, almost 10% in moogles, and 900 Lapis.
Here's a list of what was given in the previous months
https://exvius.gamepedia.com/Daily_Login_Reward.
When JP was at this point in its life span, It didn't have this stuff. There was the the friend system but the rewards for it were pretty garbage until fairly recently.
In comparison to what JP gets now, GL is pretty competitive. JP gets about 100 Lapis a day and assorted evo mats, energy, and occasionally a 1% moogle or ticket. The Moogle and Ticket are only on the 7th day of a week and at the rate of about once a month, if that. That's only recently too. The monthly livestream nets about 10 tickets regularly and assorted other things.
It's a very good comparison on a monthly basis with JP getting a little more but that's to be expected of a game that's much further along. GL's giveaways have continued to ramp up, especially the last few months, as the game has gotten older, just like JP. It's actually faring better than JP was at the same time.
So yeah, saying GL gets shafted in the giveaways and free stuff is fairly nonsense. It's little less yeah but far more than what JP was getting at the same time and it's pretty damn good when comparing a 1 year old game vs a 2 year old one.
I mean, if there's any real discussion of where GL gets potentially shafted it's not getting the same 4-star rates as JP right now. HOWEVER, I don't know if the current JP 4-star rates were the same as what we had in the first year of the game either. 4-star rates during the Dragon Quest collaboration were fucking garbage, for example. I used everything I had saved at the time, which was a ton of tickets and lapis only to get 2 4-star units, 1 Killer Machine and 1 Yamata no Orochi. I didn't even get the Hagure Metal during that which was the real prize. -_-
In fact, I think it was pretty garbage during Type-Zero too. I remember being really happy to get King to farm that event and I only had 1 of him until later.
This. I got a bunch of the focus 3* units but NONE of the 4*. And it was the grindiest of all MK events for me coz I wanted that Roto sword for 200k currency. The burn was real.
Edit: in all fairness, shitty 3* base units were still in the gold crystal pool during the DQ collab event. So naturally it was a bitch to get any of the 4* units on banner. The gold crystal rate in itself was probably 19%-20% like now. We can never know.
Shouta

That is true but I dunno if the 4-star rates were the same as now though. We only know what they are now because of the fact they were forced to publish rates. They could have adjusted them as a part of that change.
Edit: I should go look for when they changed it in JP and see if I can remember which banners I went in on and came out with shit lol
I can only really comment on the current situation of both games and I believe when you say JP was probably pretty bad in its first year.Let's look at these rewards for for GL in July

The thing is, we just had our anniversary on Global where the most interest thing going on was the daily vortex where we had access to a lot of goodies and a Giancryst. JP is having the very same thing going on right now for no special reason at all and it's an even better version because it gives 3 of each Giancryst. That really undermines what was going on on Global because what is special to us, for JP its just another Monday.
Global had three 11 pull tickets, that's cool and all but a few months ago JP got 30 normal tickets + a guaranteed 5* for being well ranked on the store I think, it wasn't even their anniversary and that alone is better than anything we could ever celebrate on Global. That was right after they got that free pull where everyone, me included rerolled.
At the current state, JP rewards around 5k lapis and 20 tickets every single month on their content rotation. Their story events alone give 3k lapis every single time while ours give less than 1k when all quests are completed. I've been wanting to ask you, was it always like this there and if it wasn't on which event did their rewards get the boost?
Playing JP in its current state makes me feel like we are having an anniveraaey every single week between the ridiculous amount of lapis given on the events. You could say all of this will come to Global but I ask you, will they? Gumi nerfed our story missions from the get to go, why would I trust them to buff the future events to be as good as JP is currently rewards-wise?
