Support NeoGAF

[Pejo]

I've been out of town the past 5 or so days, but I did manage to get in a single 10+1 pull and a bit of event grinding when I had service. As always, on a banner that I'm completely "meh" about, I get incredible luck:

I even managed to pick up an Aria from a random ticket I used to do the "summon a unit" mission.

The ELT stage is total bullshit though. I can do it, but it's not fun to grind over and over. I've been just casually Bladeblitzing myself through PRO instead for about 1300 currency per run with a full bonus team.

Just when I think I'm skipping a MK event, the game drags me right back in.

OK's kit is kinda fun, though after this event I don't see myself using him.

No announcements today? Boooo!

At least we know maintenance is long so hopefully that means something interesting is coming.

 

[NeoCross]

Any gafers here with an orlandeau that can help me with the dark espers? Or any damage dealer really. Would appreciate the help!

Also need advice on which alt account to keep using to support my main. One has Orlandeau with a 9S for Pod (and aileen + DKC as well) but no dual wield of any kind, and the other has Tidus with no Pod but has a genji glove almost ready (this one has fohlen noctis and zargabaath). both are at rank 20. I want to use both but that'd be three accounts i'm going to be playing lol.

FF XI Raid with old rewards here we go...buuuuuuuut everyone will hype up the banner cause Werei has a bis tm for most gs users like cloud/seph and the old man brothers while Prishe hat is bis for most attackers.

But who needs Prishe when you can have lila.

Werei looked good 3 months ago when I didn't have 2 queens and an EV. Now he's unimpressive and I have no desire to jump through the golden hoops again without a strong reason. Doesn't help that Prishe is only useful for her hat and Kupipi might as well not exist.

 

[Shouta]

Post-enhancement Prishe is a monster attacker but takes awhile to get going. She also has way more utility while being a damage dealer including being able to back-up heal and raise. 50% self damage reduction also makes her highly resistant to dying, heh.

Yeah everything I said only applies to my situation. Prishe does seem neat, and someone without a lot of physical dps could make good use of her. Werei could also be a great pick for someone without a lot of atk TMs already. Also, this will be a straight up and down 3-unit banner which are becoming as rare as rainbows themselves. It may be one of the last chances to get a specific banner unit you want "easily."

 

[Shouta]

Werei's TM is great not just because of the attack but because of the HP on it. =o HP is your friend!

Anyway, I need to put Sazh and my Shines in the chocobo expeditions in JP. I need the evade they provide for some builds.

 

[Vashetti]

Don't have OK and will likely never get him, but his exclusive gear is worth picking up right?

Well, gear with exclusive abilities for him.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Daily pull, holy shit! I got extremely lucky, didn't have the guy before

LOL. Reluctantly did half priced daily on alt. Came down Rainbow. Onion Knight.

Awesome congrats on those sweet pulls !!

Late to the party : So I finally attempted Orthros trial, for the much needed staff mastery.
At first it took me a while to find an ATK Onion Knight because of the event (lol)
Then I got a f*cking graphic glitch at the start, rebooting the app would have some nasty effects on this fight as I remember, so I had to deal with it >.<

Sucess! My only trial left is Malboro I guess, not going to touch it anytime soon.
Victoria is happy with her 888 MAG now, still missing 2 mag pots though

Congrats,
i need to clear this one on my ALT as well. Right now im debating if i should switch back to my OG/Alt account....but ill wait until the Ayaka banner and see if i can pull on one account lol.

 

[Vashetti]

Got Dark Knight's Soul

911 ATK Tidus \o/

 

[Kouriozan]

Congrats! ^^

Gone go through that fight on JP!



He can one shot you even with Rikku LB. So try to kill it with one shot.

Congrats,

Thanks, last time I tried it, it went horribly wrong with my own Fohlen and Rikku instead of OK and 9S. 9S's TM did help quite a bit.
Decided to do it with an Onion Knight because of his Wind attack which also boost Earth resist for Magnitude 8.

 

[Syntsui]

How disappointed will you guys be if for some absurd reason Gumi doesn't release the XI raid this week and do some other bullshit instead?

 

[Pejo]

Awesome congrats on those sweet pulls !!

Thanks man!

After doing a little playing around on the calculator, it looks like OK can get some really crazy ATK going:

Still can't quite hit the 300% ATK cap though. Am I missing anything? I guess you can sub in some Ruler's Rings or something similar to get the % up, but it's a net loss of ATK.

Aigaion Arm instead of his sword + two Championship Belts is better than two of these Earrings. You won't cap a DW build of him on global without two Ring of Dominion.

Hmm...didnt even think about the Earth Resist on OKs attack.
Where you able to chain your attacks with OKs ? If so what skill did you use ?
Because i could run a similar setup on my main but would have to use Refia instead of Yshtola.

Thanks man!

Thats a pretty nice setup...are Deschs Earring now the Top Tier Accessoires for phy. dmg dealers ? Havent even noticed the +45atk....seems massive.

Edit:

nvm lol

I'd actually prefer it. At least something unexpected would have happened and XI offers me nothing.

 

[Syntsui]

XI raid gets worse every time it's delayed, we won't escape it >.>

Meh, it's free rank and individual rewards. If the raid banner is that bad just ignore it and sell the coins for more gil.

• +80 ATK Gun
  
• 40 DEF, 10% HP, Armor
  
• 5 SPR, Auto-Refresh, Accessory
  
• Spear/Shield/Hat/Rod/Projectile/Dagger/Hat

for the equipment side.

 

[Pejo]

Snip

Holy crap, I am constantly forgetting just how crazy strong the Aigaion Arm + Champ Belts combo is. I really need to do that Robot Trial.

Makes sense. Guess it's time to TM farm Snow #2.

Edit:


nvm lol

Desch Earrings are now #1 for flat attack (and thus doublehand characters) and pretty much anyone that isn't equipping Aigaion Arm. Sucks that they lose the HP% that Bracers provide though.

 

[Vashetti]

Wouldn't they have announced the XI raid if it was coming this week?

I can't see them just dropping it after maintenance with no fanfare.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

We get news on Wed. quite often instead of Tuesday so I expect the content news tomorrow.

From times to times they split up news. But since it is an eight hour mt we should expect something bigger than the usual event.

 

[shintoki]

We get news on Tuesday.

But we always get it delayed for Holidays

To the Original question: The FF XI banner isn't a banner that's going to draw much fanfaire anyways.

To be fair pretty much any banner isn't going to draw much fanfare at this point. Just going from my friends list it seems many have given up on the game anyway. Ayaka or Cloud or something similar might give it a boost, but FF 11, FF15 etc. etc. Most people aren't gonna give a shit anymore.

They shot their shot with Nier, and it made them a shit ton of money while at the same time practically killing their game.

 

[Dandte]

Once we have the next festa people will be in high moods again. Atm i'm more excited for story content than events.

 

[Kouriozan]

Next must have character is Mistair and she is about 10/12 weeks away, gonna be a long wait.

 

[Syntsui]

Mistair is on a double gold banner with some incredibly crap units (that Oriff dude might be a good budget Marie tho) avoid it like the plague and pull it off banner or on the type banner. Of course no one will listen to this lol.

 

[DXLelouch153]

got fuckin noctis on my first ever summon
thats good right?

 

[Officerrob]

Jack of all trades, master of none. Very good unit that's taken a step back. He's rumored to be buffed to his JP status and doesn't have enhancements yet, so his future is wide open. He's incredibly useful for a new account

That's right, that was actually confirmed. Wonder what is taking them so long, wasn't that months ago?

They'll do it on the FFXV banner in ~2 months (is that the right timeframe folks, correct me?)

Actually it's next in the order after FFXI (they were actually months apart in JP but XI is laaaate). That's assuming they actually follow the order though. After that is the MonHun collab which ... might happen? That Monster Hunter World is coming so who knows.

 

[Kouriozan]

Just finished the story, too bad I spoiled myself 7 months ago about what happens right after that.

Mon Hun won't just like DQ because they are both based on Mobile games that died outside of JPN.

 

[EDarkness]

I haven't posted in a while since we've been moving and I've been pretty damn tired. Finally had just a little bit of time to relax. I've been running through the ELT event dungeon and is it me or do the bonus mobs not give any bonus? I just got a sea lion and it gave me like 50-100 extra fangs. What's up with that? Is something broken? I've never seen it that low. What's the point in them showing up if that's all they give?

They give 100 currency of bonus ¯_(&#12484_/¯

Oh shit, is that right? Damn, that sucks. Might as well not even show up. That's terrible.

 

[Syntsui]

Oh shit, is that right? Damn, that sucks. Might as well not even show up. That's terrible.

Ouroboros is the ''real'' bonus unit that gives a decent amount of currency though. All of them have shit appearance rate anyway, Im already done with this bullshit and I'm back to my TM farm.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Oh shit, is that right? Damn, that sucks. Might as well not even show up. That's terrible.

It's insane. And shit. I got about 8 total yesterday too.

 

[Kouriozan]

Yep, Gumi want too far "balancing" the content for us, just grabbed my tickets and a few extra then didn't touch it since.
There is far better uses for my NRG.

Also they should hurry up with the QoL updates, trying to find that specific materia is a nightmare when you got 70+ of them.

 

[bonkeng]

I'm only farming MK for Prismatic Horns and Blooms. I wish Gumi balances out the awakening mats usage. Prismatics are overused while Divine Crystals are underused.

 

[NomarTyme]

Been playing the jp version and I want the friends level shit already!

 

[DXLelouch153]

Added people en mass to friend list, so check your games pls, also added my id,etc to the playbook

 

[tuffymon]

labor day bundle? i swear that wasn't up there earlier... 3 tickets, 250 lapis, minis/kings... for 7$ huh
