Support NeoGAF

[Squall ASF]

slightly OOT, but sometimes i wonder whether the current SE CEO really hate FF VIII it or what.

They straight jump from FF VII ps4 port to FF IX, the same that happen with smartphone version.

and of course no FF VIII until now in FFBE. This can't just be a coincidence.

They did nine first because it has the updated mobile version/pc version so easy to port that. For VIII, they'd have the old PC port (which is what the Steam version is with the added boosts) so I imagine they'd want to come out with an updated version for mobile first as they did IX. Why they did IX on mobile first I'm not sure, VIII made a hell of a lot more money. No way they leave that money on the table, just a matter of time.

As for FFBE, VII hasn't had a full banner either yet, they are simply saving the big guns which makes sense. Wait until the population dwindles a bit or until something like the VII remake hits for maximum interest before releasing them. They already said they've discussed the VIII banner release date and I forget if they actually decided on it, just haven't shared it with players yet. Personally, I just want my gaming dream since I was a teenager to come true, an FFVIII remake. I always knew an FFVII remake would have to come first and be the gateway and it's happening so..... "Don't stop, belieeeeeving"!

Power coming back on finally, slowly catching up on posts and stuff.

One healer to rule them all, nice for them to announce her this early so people can save.

Beware.

The devs called Ayaka out on the stream intentionally.

DANGER, Will Robinson. DANGER.

All the vets (that are still left) likely know what this means.

Ayaka is a known unit to be coming in the future. Next week appears to be an off week, which means there's going to be a one-off banner showing up.

/looks at the release schedule

Weather forecast says there's an extremely high chance of the Leading Man or another Global Exclusive being released on Friday to bait everyone into going "all in" right before the known JP chase unit shows up on Global.

Just like last time.... and the time before that.... and the time before that...

 

[Lyrian]

Mark today as the day of Rainbows. Holy shit.

JP - Posted about earlier but got a CG Nichol.

On main in GL decided to start off with half daily since it has been a while... Straight Rainbow. Orlandu. I can now be THAT person. LOL.

Decide right after to use a ticket. Hoping for banner units. Ticket used... Straight Rainbow. Prishe. WHELP! Guess I am done with banner ahaha. Did one more ticket pull as I planned to use two. Shadow. Haha. What an amazing day. Rare and I will never see it again.

Wow, congrats on the sweet pulls!

And here I was completely floored when a generic EX ticket dropped as a straight rainbow, lol.

 

[Lyrian]

We might see our first global exclusive 5* enhancements!

Elza waves at robotuw.

 

[Euphoria14]

Malboro team looked like it had a good thing going and even with me spamming Rikku LB he still had a turn where he not only knocked out a team of 5.5k+ HP units, but then he wiped them a second time.

Wtf... this trial is such bullshit.

 

[Squall ASF]

I hope they bring someone out to excite others before Ayaka but it won't work on me. I have a considerable amount of resources saved up ready to secure her and none shall deter me from her.

 

[Azuran]

How many Jack TMs does someone really need?

I have 9 Jacks and I feel like fusing them in batches to get 3 Ignorances. Maybe 4 if I don't feel lazy.

3 minimum but if you have rikku and Ev/wilhelm i say 4 along side mystical skull/ prodigy goggles. Basically 2 ignorance for each

 

[LuuKyK]

What is the most used method to farm TMs btw? I never really bothered with them until now.

6, 3 for Rikku and 3 for Earth Veritas /Wilhelm.

 

[Muku]

Thank you.

Actually, I'd still think a generic EX ticket dropping as a straight Rainbow as a rare sight. As is this free pull crap. Usually Shadow or Clyne. Ugh

 

[Advocatus Diaboli]

If anyone deserved that luck, it's you, Miku.

(Meanwhile, I'm on a streak of who even cares anymore.)

Bolded the part just that all the people here read your post.

Iam riding on same train Lyrian as you. There will be bait before Ayaka.

Anyways my resources are so low that chances for me to grab Ayaka are slim. Got about 10k Lapis and thats it. Stopped hoarding tix cause they give crap +1 year old units mainly. I might get to 15k Lapis by the time Ayaka hits. ~2000 from Arena + daily quest and rest depends what events / lapis (logins) we get.

Then there are those 2x 10+1 non banner tix. Prolly will use them when Ayaka, not interested to keep them for 3%.

Fuck Eve

 

[robotuw]

Need an A2 with a fire weapon, pod, and statis immunity running diablos plz.

Best I can do is put her at 850 atk with Chirijiraden, the pod and discernment. Hope that's enough

Elza waves at robotuw.

Ah crap, I always forget Elza is global exclusive. She seems like the most japanese character ever.

 

[Shouta]

Next JP collab is with Star Ocean Anamnesis. Fayt and Rena are 5 stars. Fidel is the 4-star, Ratix is the 3-star.

Just my kind of Collab. I hope I can get Rena at least. =o

Check out the first letters of each paragraph in this post.

Yet another robo-boss raid. Guess it's time to dust off Eileen again.

 

[Kouriozan]

I've only started to farm Edgar's TM and looks like it'll still be useful in the future.
GL will never get that collab though.

 

[Euphoria14]

Luck may be changing!

Got a Krile today.


I think I may have seen one unit in the last 13-14 pulls that was newer than FFXIII banner.

Can’t wait to get a Shadow. I can feel it coming.

Doesn't help that banner 3* is a unit that we have had from soft launch days .
Yeah got Totto today, newer units where are tho.

Never heard of that, looks like a Star Ocean gacha? Doesn't seem like something that would make it out of japan though, so I doubt we'll be getting this. Hope you can get Rena too, her sprite is great! SO2 is one of my favorite games of all time so it's awesome to see it get some love!

Free Shantotto. Not even bothering leveling her though or filling my slots with her equipment, got enough mages!

 

[Zippedpinhead]

No more new news?

I guess this is another filler week for upcoming collabs that global wont get.

 

[Kouriozan]

Those break weeks feel atrocious, even more when player count keep decreasing.
Second one in the same month is a bit too much.

 

[vato_loco]

Oh my, I went today for my free pull and got...

Could it be.... Gumi is actually improving the pull percentages? I mean with what happened to Muku and me...

Nah, coincidence.

BTW, the Shadow Lord event got me Prishe's Retaliator recipe so yay!

 

[ah_hia]

What is the most used method to farm TMs btw? I never really bothered with them until now.

farming them using nox macro emulator.

 

[vato_loco]

farming them using nox macro emulator.

Tried doing that, too. It doesn't work too well for me, it seems either the emulator or the macro recorder lags at some point so it stops looping correctly. I'd have to try spacing the clicks a bit more, I guess?

 

[Lyrian]

Ah crap, I always forget Elza is global exclusive. She seems like the most japanese character ever.

Shouldn't be too much longer for JP. A BF-3 banner featuring Elza, Tilith enhancements, and maybe even 6* forms for Karl and Seria should be soon. Perhaps, for the 2nd anniversary?

 

[PantherLotus]

I'm still around and lurking, btw.

-- Pulled a rainbow yesterday on the free pull and got my first Dark Fina.
-- Got the big hairy guy with one of the EX tickets when this thing launched.
-- Actually kinda having fun with the raid.

-- The reasons why 'stepping away from the game' turned into 'still having fun i guess':

1) i stopped giving a fuck about wasting NRG and arena orbs, which are easily the most stressful thing as a daily player;

2) i stopped giving a fuck about lapis and tickets and pulls. i'll get what i get. and i know i'll never spend another dime on the game so it's not a big loss.

3) so it's actually pretty hard to quit. i pulled out of the community, mostly, thinking it would be easier. i think the only solution is deleting the app entirely.

-- anyway i'm not back and all-in or anything. just here to have fun and will continue lurking.

Im in exactly the same boat and its very refreshing

ive crafted most of the raid gear anyways. Behind on the story and havent cleared Marlboro but fuck it

This game is now for when Im bored or something

Not feeling the urge to grind so much time on this game feels good. I may opt to quit entirely but for now Ill keep it as a back pocket time waster

 

[evangd007]

Dead week followed by mediocre raid followed by dead week? Gumi plz.

 

[Syntsui]

There has to be banner this week, it wouldn't be the first time they updated the news late.

It makes no sense to further delay content considering how absurdly behind we are and how unhappy the community is (they read the reddit).

 

[NomarTyme]

Secret mog cake event gonna happen!

 

[Celegus]

Secret mog cake event gonna happen!

Anything but that!!!

 

[Alkez]

I was sad when I got two 2B and no A2 but man having two 2B, Fryevia, and Friendevia make this event infinitely easier.

I hope you got a couple of lottery tickets too haha. Congrats Muku. Nice to see ExviusGAF getting some good news.

Anyone who has me on their friends list willing to setup an Amelia prepped for Malboro trial? Need her to chain with mine so I can generate non stop double Rikku LB spam.

Giving it a shot with 2x Setzer, 2x Rikku and 2x Amelia.

Do you still need this? And if so post a build and I'll see if I can set one up close to it.

Oh my, I went today for my free pull and got...

Congrats dude!

1) i stopped giving a fuck about wasting NRG and arena orbs, which are easily the most stressful thing as a daily player;

Yuuup. Went through the exact same experience. Enjoying the game atm which hasn't been the case for the last month. Being a casual player is so much better.

There has to be banner this week, it wouldn't be the first time they updated the news late.

I hope you're right. No banner is dead.

Not worry about "wasting" energy is the most freeing moment in any gacha game. The reason I will play FEH forever is that it' never feels like I'm wasting energy when I don't play for a day or two.

 

[wilstreak]

probably Gumi is busy making change for iOS 11. Most mobage have issue with iOS 11 and they need to solve it fast since iPhone user tend to update to newest version compared to Android.

You just need 1 banner to make us happy. It is called "Ramza".

feature 1 unit and his enhancement. Hooray!!

 

[hikarutilmitt]

I threw a few tickets at the regular old rare summon banner
One of them went rainbow
Got Marie

I really don't know what to think.

 

[Zera_Bloodwinter]

I really don't know what to think.

She's one of the best support units in the game. Aoe imperil 40%, aoe resist buff that gets enhanced, dual cast, aoe spr/def buffs. She's awesome. Not an every day use unit but for hard end game content she's awesome.

 

[Kouriozan]

I will forgive Gumi if they release Noctis's buff tomorrow

 

[robotuw]

Wait nothing?! Holy shit Gumi, what do you even need 5 hours of maintenance for? You're not doing anything!

I'm with Syntsui. I just can't imagine they'd do a second nothing week in 3 weeks. If this is them switching to a two-week update model already I can scarcely think of a way to kill the game faster. It's a dick move but they can still release news tomorrow or even Friday (though the cat will be out of the bag by maintenance tonight).

Marie's kind of like Minfillia without offensive buffs.

Her enhanced "Love You All" is 50% all elemental resist for 5 turns and restores ~2500 HP/turn.
Enhanced "Lovely Guard" is 100% all ailment resist for 3 turns and 45% def/spr buff
If you need specific element support her Bar-agas give 70% and can be dualcast
Since she has native Dualcast so you can drop Cura on her via a staff or esper and she is a good backup healer.

She's slightly less useful against dark/light since she doesn't have 70% for those (although LYA gets you 50%), but she's a great complement to damage reduction buffs.

She can actually replace primary healer on easier raids/trials, so that saves you a spot.
And her TM gives 30% all resists except dark, which is pretty darn useful.

 

[RedZaraki]

Ok.

I think today is the day. Going to begin attempting Malboro ELT trial.

If anybody out there happens to have Ace, with enhanced Tri-Laser, if you could put him up as your friend unit, with status protection TMR on him, I would be MUCH appreciated.

It'd be nice to have as much HP and MAG as possible too, of course.

It's surprisingly fun and close to what a Star Ocean game would be like on mobile. It still has the mobile DNA of course, lol.

Does anyone remember if this game is a 32 or 64bit app? I didn't want to update my phone to iOS11 just in case. I might not anyway since I have the 6 plus which might run it horribly anyway but I'll be upgrading to the X come November.

Shared mine with 5.5k hp and 868 mag. Is the hp high enough? I can trade some mag or remove pod 153 for more hp

Apple has required that app updates since June 2015 have 64-bit support.

FFBE launched as a 64-bit game.
