Finally got around to making it to the end of the new story chapter and dang, a little weight to the story and quite the cliff hanger. Story still delivers 
I'll be all the more interested in the next story chapter now and it's cool to know it's the final one for Season 1. I wonder if there will be a break before starting Season 2 or if it will continue right away the next month since the material is there. I managed to beat Sol on my first try going in blind but the fight definitely wasn't as quick as most boss battles (excluding trials). Rikku was my MVP between hypernull and her LB I never felt there was a chance of me being wiped. The only bummer was that I thought Dark Fina would count towards the mission objective but nope! Then again, it wouldn't have been worth bringing regular Fina for ten lapis, she'd be worthless in that fight haha Dark Fina at least had dual ultima.
Not that I can talk since I haven't had a chance to post much lately but it sucks how much Nier killed the community. Especially as it was a damn collaboration, not even FF characters. The limited time carrot was the killer I suppose. In any case, if people endure past this stage they should be ok because the game experience will improve going forward with the crystal update and eventually, the step up program. If a lot of people actually quite the game, that stuff should come sooner to try and bring people back. New players will have it better and better over time which is good.
Meanwhile, my stockpile of lapis and tickets continue to grow. Ayaka will be mine. After her, I can wait for the rainbow change and perhaps even the step up. I'm more anxious for the Tidus enhancements and Noctis buff than anything else and I still look forward to seeing what Noctis' enhancements will be.
I'm farming the final TMs I'll need for Noctis' perfect evasion build, Abel should finish today or tomorrow I think and then it's just Sazh I need to finish though he's only in the 30's I think. I'll be happy to pay the gilgamesh and dark esper trial evasion cheese forward when this is done after base Valentus and Tuffy did so for me. I'll be making my cousin and close friend who are newer players take advantage of that to get those sweet rewards. Genji Blade and Ifrit's Claw alone will be awesome for them. Atk 30% too!
I'm astonished at how piddly the amount of event current we get for FFIII so this is the least I'll farm it. I'll just do three runs a day for the daily now that I finished story and make sure to get the tickets at least but that just means more time for TM farming! We know FFXI Raid will come soon but I wonder what the next non fabricated banner will be? The most obvious choices are all out now so it's time to see if there will be a big shake up or if it will fall more in line with Japan's release schedule again.
Not related but Football is back!!!!!! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's actually really nice... ya know assuming it works for global~
Thanks,
still a bit hope left that Gilga get improved enhancements for Global.....
:-/
The dream of a top notch gilga is officially dead ;__;
Confirmed ? Damn....
I wonder why they took so long to drop his enh. then..what a bummer :-/
Thats what datamine suggest, sad so sad
Man..thats disappointing.
I didnt expect some mayor buff to make him the best unit in the game or anything...but at least somewhat more than he got in Japan.
Man the 5* are pulled on my main are really lackluster...yeah i know Gilgas TM is good but ...welp.
Gilga useless
Lightning useless
Yun, didnt really use him :-/
Wihelm, not useless but got him around the time we got WoL and Earth Veritas 6* ..come on
Olive, kickass....only 5* that i still use as a finisher
Gilga dupe useless
Meh....

Did they seriously debuff Charlotte???
Wai no I'm dumb!
She got an buff!
Mine should be around the same, it does probably mean enhanced Agrias will be my strongest ATK character after enhancements. I can reach 960 ATK max with Noctis with equip first/Aigaion Arm iirc.

So many TM's needed to get Greg over 1000 atk after enhancements.
Slapping Large sword mastery instead QA:
Lack of Gilgamesh enhancement buffs is seriously disappointing, perplexing why they would even reintroduce his banner without sweetening the deal.
On the flip side, Queen's enhancement buffs look really nice, and a huge jump over her JP equivalent. 800% finisher instead of the barrage thing she does, 300% attack 200% DEF/SPR buff when below 15% HP (JP was 6%), and she also get poison/blind/paralyze/confuse resistance plus the death evasion (which wasn't in the JP version).
She also keeps the Magic Martyr which sacrifices 95% of HP and heals MP to all allies for 5 turns. This sounds like a terrible skill, but its obviously designed to get her below the HP threshold for her Bersek+2 to trigger that 300% ATK 200% DEF/SPR buff. In addition to her new death-evasion.
Her biggest downside is her weapon and armor selection. She can't equip heavy armor, which is crucial for so many ATK based materia; Sworn Six's Pride - Dark/Earth, Dark Knight Soul, etc. So she's going to top out around ~950ATK. Fortunately, with Berserk you're looking at Queen at 1480 ATK in addition to 500SPR/600DEF and over 7000HP+ with her Wisdom TM.
She would be a great unit for long battles. Trigger the Bersek with Magic Martyr, have another unit heal her up, and suddenly you have a tanky 1480 ATK finisher ready to do 1600% damage (with DW) turn after turn while giving the added benefit of being an MP battery. Throw in chainers and some imperil, and she's a monster.
Queen has gotten the buff I think people were hoping for Gilgamesh. She's incomparable to her JP counterpart.

A 5-hit attack is a finisher nowadays?
Well, 5 hits would be okay if they were really fast and you could easily fit them into the end of a chain. But they're not. Her Frames are really, really slow and you need a really big chain to fit all of her hits in. She's going to be very difficult to use.
It's a really good change on a surface level, but due to them using her normal attack frames it seems to be really poorly executed.
If its a high multiplier and can finish a chain, its sure can be. In JP's iteration it most definitely couldn't given the delay between her barrage-like devastation, now the entire 8X is condensed into a single normal Queen attack; which is framed 20-46-56-66-96. Its clearly trickier than a single hit, but completely manageable especially given you get 800% multiplier from turn 1, with a ton more potential on second. Also, we also have long chainers like Tidus/A2/OK, it shouldn't be much of problem.

So upgrading Gilga isn't worth it?
Depends on the rest of your team, the ones talking about it before probably have better stuff now, and had hoped Gilga would reclaim a party spot...

I don't think my current Gilga can outdamage my A2, 2B, and now Agrias. Was hoping the upgrades would fix that.
To this day the only unit I've enhanced is Garnet for her Esper damage increase.
Waiting on
Wilhelm
Tidus
Tilith
Noctis
Rikku
enhancements. Have tons of crysts saved up. Unless they change the requirements, I'll be able to fully max out every Tidus ability when they're available.

Beat the dark esper trial thanks to udca's Onion Knight! Got all the rewards too. Was an intense fight, I brought both WoL and Cecil, plus Rem and Cerius. I was scared because I was about to run out of MP pots near the end but managed to pull it off without anyone dying. I just prayed that OK didn't get confused because that's what stopped my run before the maintenance started lol.
Now on to Octopus trial.
edit: Pod 153 is really amazing. I equipped it to WoL for the damage mitigation and regen abilities. Pretty much allowed me to save some MP on my healers because of it. Really glad I got at least one 9S lol.

Glad I could help! Good job with the trials
Thanks! Gonna be trying octopus next. I'm still probably too far away in terms of gear to even attempt aigaion/malboro lol. I do have 2 rikkus though...
And holy fuck Agrias' enhancements for her divine ruination is 1mil each. I have the crysts but didn't expect it to be THAT expensive.
I'm trying to wrap my head around how enhanced Queen works now. So presumably you want to open with magic martyr to trigger berserk, then heal her up. Then on the second turn you can either magic martyr -> berserk a second time, or start devastate. On the third turn you definitely want to devastate because berserk only lasts 3 turns. So the only question is if a second devastate at +300% is better than one devastate at +600%? Justice guard will keep magic martyr from killing her as long as she's above 50%, so you don't need to heal her twice which is nice.
Also I'm glad the enhancements got buffed but holy hell they are still expensive. 7mil gil, 36 T4 and 12 T5. At least magic martyr is healing now.

Terra is my girl, so I got some of her enhancements. She can almost one shot the ELT mog king boss now, which is awesome. I think I'm going to get the tickets and that's it for this event. There's no point in doing more than that since the event is so crappy.
I won't be doing any other enhancements until Tidus gets his. After that, I'll probably wait and pray for A2 and/or 2B to get theirs.

I'm intensely confused by this post. Why would you want to use Magic Martyr twice in a row? 600%? Berserk doesn't stack. It's a self-buff for 300% ATK, the maximum you can buff a stat by. Using it again is only going to refresh the buff, not enhance it.
Magic Martyr -> Devastate x3 -> Repeat.
Magic Martyr damages her for 95% of her current HP, not max. She can't kill herself unless you use it at 1 HP.
Justice Guard prevents her from dying once per "life", same as every other Guts/Resist Death passive.
Reddit says Berserk is "unlimited activation". I wasn't sure how to interpret that so I went optimistic. If it doesn't self-stack then yeah it's just MM->Dev->Dev.
Do we have confirmation of the 300% buff cap in global? We've only been able to reach it with A2 arriving I think. You would have to use her LB and berserk her to go above 300%.

Uhm..queen enhancements seems nice, but.. to do full ehh, you need like 12 m? And that's not counting the crystals...
ffs...i thought i had enough.
I really think im ready to jump ship from my main and and focus on my old/alt.
Obv. my main has the farmed TM and better equipment because of the Events i played with it...but screw it ill get upcoming gear on my alt.
Here is the list of (relevant/rare) units that i only have on that specific account:
Main:
Lightning
Yun
Olive
2x Gilga
Wilhelm
2x Garnet
2x Helena
3x Setzer
2x Rasler
2x Shine
Kelsus
Wind Veritas
Alt:
2x Ramza
Oldmandu
Dark Fina
Dark Veritas
Noctis
2x Ashe
Amelia
Orran
Relevant/Important one i have on both:
Cecil, Veritas of Earth, Ling, 2xRikku, 9S. WoL, Victoria, Dual Cast Refia, Locke/Xon
Im pretty sure ill switch since the units on my alt just are more fun to play with and Gilga enh. were a mayor disappointment tbh. One reason why i didnt wanna change in the past was the lack of Blade Mastery/Chizuru...but i pulled her this week on the alt.
So im making the right call...right ? The only 5* damage dealer with a potential strong upcoming future is Olive..and even then i could get screwed. On the alt i would be set damagedealer wise....just saving up crystals for Ramza enh. at some point
I wouldn't count Yun entirely out just yet. If they change his frames he could become a fantastic chainer. That said, yeah you should maybe consider swapping. That alt list is pretty strong.

Man, for the first time since release I let an entire day's worth of stamina rot, because of Destiny 2. Not even that mad.
I think I'm going to try out Aigiaon tonight. Is there a strategy video or writeup with current pool units? Everything I saw was a few meta units ago. Who am I kidding, it's probably still "Fryevia x4 = win"

It's probably easy with A2 / 2B as well
Coincidentally Queen has probably become a good unit to bring into that fight. Her 100% endure makes her a great target for the arm since she'll survive every other attack and get a bunch of stats from it.
I guess...but honestly i waited long enough and had quite the passion with this acc. Ill still try to login and put up more or less useful friendleads but i cant invest more time into it. Its just fun anymore, before i burn out on that acc i rather make the Switch now so i can start farming equip gear on the account that has the more interesting units to play.
First goal on my new/old main....try get Rod Mastery for Dark Fina.
After that ill look into Ashe and see how or who she can chain with.
Well and to farm a couple of units this weekend while Gigantuars are up.
Hey guys. Does anybody know if they fixed the bug where you can't switch characters / go to main menu / use limit breaks / use magic / do just about anything in the game?
I started yesterday with the game and it happened to me today. I found the bug happened to a lot of people but haven't found a solution anywhere.
I started yesterday with the game and it happened to me today. I found the bug happened to a lot of people but haven't found a solution anywhere.
I read on Reddit that it happens to account stuck in "tutorial mode", gotta send a ticket to Gumi for that.
You can do that on PC, you have to give your customer id though (title screen -> info -> customer support) -> http://finalfantasyexvius.com/support/
Or you can just do it from the title screen iirc.
I'm past the first town and halfway through that Siren tower or something. Am I still in Tutorial mode?
Yes, most probably.
See if it's the same issue as this https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExv...ible_bug_i_am_stuck_and_can_only_visit_towns/
Oh, man, yeah, it's the same issue. He hasn't got it resolved, either. I guess that's it for me and this game...
