This is really fucking annoying. Every now and then when i log in this shit happens.


No quest, no vortex, just nothing.

Had this on Friday,loads of things were bugged (friend feed was bugged, event exploration only showed INT one, new arena and questchanges kept popping up,....)I reinstalled the game and that fixed it for me (after redl'ing gamedata a bunch of times which didnt help)

Click menu -> return to title screen, log back again and it'll download the missing data.

Thanks, it fixed the issue. I was wondering why this only happens on my S7, when my other phone and Nox were doing fine.

I redownloaded but it didn't fix the issue for me :/

But Kourio's method fixed it so now it's good.

My Amazon version is still bugged, just black screen and crashes right after.

Think you have what, 4-5 large area's left?
Yup. 5 full blown areas on the world map. You're maybe halfway through the story. First letters only below.

-- G***
-- P***
-- L***

Oh, awesome, I've got plenty left, then. Does the difficulty spike at some point? I'm doing more than fine right now with Ace, Ashe, Prishe and the units I have from you Gaf people.

The bosses at P**** hits very hard. Without Def buff or ATK debuff on enemy, they will kill your team in the 1st turn (4500HP+)
 
Heads up... possible temp free lapis alert...

There's apparently an "unannounced" Chamber of Experience PRO available for 20 EN. I'm staring at it right now.

Might want to run it once for the lapis before it gets "corrected" for a few months, much like how Cactaur Dunes and Gil Snappers PRO did.


Done. Thanks Lyrian!

I'm actually enjoying this event, :O.

I generally hate running big explorations, so I never farmed Megas. Here, I've been getting tons from speedruns of the ELT. Super quick and easy 1k currency and 750 rank exp with a bunch of MCs.
- Unit w/ Escape materia runs from all non-Mermaid battles.
- Keep going in and out of the same door, unless a collection point is in sight, until the Mermaid room.
- 1-turn Ariel, grab the 2 points.
- Grab the two points in the exit room and leave.

It's more engaging than just spending another week TM farming, if nothing else. 6 runs and I'm out of energy for 13 hours. I just wish there was more stuff to spend the currency on.

I'm doing a similar strategy, except I've equipped a bunch of charm bangles on my guys. I rarely ever run into other mobs. After killing the mermaid I end up just running around as many rooms as I can to collect the nodes. You don't need to worry about making it to the exit in time, because you'll still keep all the stuff you picked up, and you'll even get credit for completing it in the daily.

Even so, I usually pick up so many with time to spare that I'm able to leave through the preset exit before time runs out.

Holy arse. Wait, I've got ATK debuff on Prishe and Ashe. Do they stack? Because I've also got Victoria who I'm sure has something like that as well.

Just realized that Onion Knight Armor isnt a Heavy Armor...switch the gear and went from 940 to +980 atk with my Cid. Sweet.

yes in all honesty, after Ayaka, there is not really new unit with meta-defining character.
Cloud is just for hype machine.

At least until CG Sakura.

But it is hard to justify pulling when 3% rainbow is so close.

probably do 10 pull and hope i got sylvia.
Im throwin the book at the game to get Ayaka. I've decided it.

Refia I'm sorry girrr, but u need to take a seat A$AP

Pretty much where im at...will do one Multi and hope for the best.
Love my Refia she has helped me through alot but i really want a Top Tier Tillith like healer. This would also free up Dual Cast so i could use it on Ashe instead.

Enhancing Agrias is one of the better things I've done in a while. Being able to chain her with Orlandeau without needing to rely on Friend Units is massive.

That was the key upgrade that let me clear the 10 man trial. The difference between Tidus + Orlandeau or Agrias + Orlandeau is massive.


If you aren't chaining damage, you aren't dealing damage.
 
I need advise regarding Tank TM's. As it stands right now my Wilhelm can only get like 560 def and 250 spr using a mix of various HP+30% , Resentment (Think I have 2 or 3, FUCK EVE!!!), 2 or 3 Hill Diggers. This is due to not completing any TM's that boost defense such as Rasler's tm. I've seen videos such as the below where the guy uses a 5 man squad to complete the 10 man trial. His Wilhelm has maybe 5-700 more HP than mine but being that he never showed his gear I have no clue what his def and spr are. I'm seriously considering using my 100% moogle and either boosting one rasler to 100% and putting 3 more into my TM oven or boosting Wilhelm and getting his tm shield done. I'm using Marie, Wilhelm, Tilith, A2 and 2B. If you notice he put Pod 153 on both DPS and just chained everything down. I can do this myself but my Wilhelm is getting his shit rocked. It's either due to not having 700+ defense or higher spr. Thoughts? Could I do this with rikku cheese? Yes, absolutely but fuck rikku as I'm tired of depending on it. I cannot wait for Mistair or any magic tank for that matter so I can shit all over Malboro and Sheratan. ***EDIT*** I wasn't being observant of the threshold attack, Petal Storm nor taking note of the attack used on the 3rd turn. I should be able to do this!

Man, I still haven't been able to open this game on my phone at all since the update. Just black screen, and no amount of restarting or clearing cache or game data or force stopping fixes it.

It runs ok on Nox for now, but I primarily played it on my phone until last week. What kind of QA testing did Gumi do on this patch?

I have to go into app settings > permissions > turn off phone permissions every time to start the game. It'll then ask for permission, say ok and it works. I'm on the amazon version of the app. Hopefully it gets fixed, pretty annoying to do every time to avoid the black screen.

I had the same issue after I ran into the chamber of arms bug. In case it helps, here's what I ended up doing (on Android).

1) Delete app + reinstall, login to facebook, redownload
2) Still had black screen :(
3) Clear cache
4) Still black screen.
5) Delete app + reinstall, login to facebook, click Restore at that page, click OK
6) Kicked out to the farplane, so I was good!

I suspect only step 5 is actually necessary, but the fact that a regular reinstall didn't do it mystifies me. It's the kind of bug that really shouldn't get in.

Even though i have 7 rikku i just used my 100% moogle on a rikku...feels. Should have done it on wind veritas or any other uni that i only have single copies of....don‘t try sheratan while beeing slightly drunk!
 
Sigh.....I don't remember when was the last time I had a friend slot available, I now have 6 open slots, a sign of the times :-(

I removed Valentus, Dr. Rob, and a few other inactive gaffers.

I wanna still farm that Event Mag weapon...but it feels like im wasting time if im not TM farming lol.

Maybe ill have some time near the end of the week.

PS. Not the biggest fan of those awakening daily missions. Especially since the system is bugged and i cant evolve some units like Garnet for no reason.

I don't know if this is particularly obvious or not, but I just use a FP summon (which can sometimes take care of the "summon a unit" quest, as well), and use a regular ol' cactuar on them which I usually have lying around from arena ticket summons or from the arena grid. That is usually enough to max them out for awakening and it's usually super cheap in terms of mats (stuff like beast meat, esper shards, etc).

So in one fell swoop, I can get the unit summon, enhancing, and awakening quests without spending anything of any worth.

I'm doing Android via Amazon store on Oneplus 3T.

I'll give this a try, thanks!

I've done this several times, no dice. I'll keep at it, something's gotta work.

I use a One Plus 3 and simply doing the restore made it work. Now with the new version available on the store the problem could be fixed though.
 
I know I asked a few weeks ago, but as I close in on that 100% my options are werei (0% currently), delita (10% currently) and DKC (22% currently).

All Other trust moogles are going towards closing out OK (~85%), and then a katana mastery (for OK since large sword and martial arts mastery are on A2).

I have an Orlandeau but gearing him is for after I get A2 in a good spot

Enough of this "emergency" crap. If it's an emergency you shouldn't schedule it for later. This reeks of "whoops we fucked up but we don't want to give you compensation so we'll announce it ahead of time (meanwhile some people still can't get into the game)."

I have a feeling it won't help me at all, but what units did you roll with? Any general strategy tips?

Main: Soleil, WoL, EV, DV, Marie

Reserve: Orlandu, Ace, OK, A2, Tilith

It's kinda 5* heavy, but some of these units are replaceable. A2 and OK can be replaced with any other unit that can equip Excalibur/Durandal.

Most important units here are Tilith, EV and enhanced Soleil. These 3 will make your life much easier.

For dps, it depends on what units you have and what imperils are available to you. If you have enhanced Ace, he'll make it easier since he imperils fire/thunder/light. Fire and Light are the two most common elemental weapons in the game. Any chainers will work as long as you have the weapons / imperil combo. Finishers are great too, but I went with chainers just to be sure.

I chose to go with WoL as a support tank, when EV is busy casting Earthern Ward and Defensive Barrier. Those ads will kill your tank every turn.

Marie is kinda useless to me, since I have EV and DV buffing 100% Earth and Dark resist respectively, which is all you need. But she's invaluable if you don't have EV or DV.

And you need to have stat protection when those ads are summoned. At least for paralyze, stone, and confuse. My DV and Orlandu got hit with sleep and stone respectively as I carelessly thought I only need to worry about paralyze. Good thing OK and A2 were there as back ups.

Overall, it's harder than Aigaion. But more enjoyable. Good luck :)

Thank you for the breakdown!

I don't have DV, Orlandu, Ace, or OK from your selection, but your general strategy using EV, Tilith, and Soleil sound very doable. I guess I could get the DPS from my A2 chaining her OHC with someone else with a POD, or maybe with enhanced Agrias.

I was able to get Sheratan down to ~35% earlier today, but I just ran out of steam. Too many units dead and not enough MP left to take it down.

So how about this:

Main: Soleil, WoL, EV, A2, Marie
Reserve: Agrias, Tilith, Trance Terra, Luneth, and Rikku

Not sure what units to bring, in all honesty. Just going with my big hitters.

So is the general strategy to set up your buffs on the first round and then swap in the DPS units?

Sent you a request just now. What's this about a new update? I'm in just fine.

EDIT: Oh, 9 hours from now. Never mind.
 
Hopefully they will address all of the problems. There really is no margin of error anymore.

I seriously hope so. I haven’t even finished the story yet, and I’m usually all about that. But I had login errors that Discord fixed, and then we had those bouts of maintenance...

I just hope that this fixes it and Gumi has learned its lesson. Here’s hoping, at least.

Rather than these spread out maintenances, I would have honestly preferred if they just put out a statement, and take the game offline for 2-3 days and get all the problems sorted properly.

Your main is good enough. But i forgot to mention one very important thing. Atk/mag break must be on at all times. You'll probably need a 2nd atk/mag breaker in case Wol dies and your Tilith is busy healing the others. Also, imo 9S is a better candidate than TTerra, if you have him.

Yeah, first turn must be buff, break and provoke/cover.

Just remember to have a backup of all the important roles in case the lead one dies.

Yeah, my Wilhelm is took weak. Going to have to approach this the normal way instead of trying to 5 man it.

So you're running Marie, Tilith, Wilhelm, A2 and 2B, right? Do you have a TMR equipped on them that's providing an attack/magic debuff? Your core team doesn't provide those while the video you linked to has Dark Veritas with Impact, a -45% All stats debuff.

That might be the reason why Willy is having trouble staying up.

My game still won't let me access anything other than viewing units, banner pulls and log in stuff. I contacted Gumi and they're looking into it but it sucks because I'm missing the event and haven't heard an update yet.

I wonder if I transfer my account to my Ipad Air 2 that might fix it. When you transfer between two IOS devices the lapis stays the same right?
Sweet.

Ive been doing 1/2 price dalies trying to grab him, as my only 5* chainer is Aileen. (Have lots of 4* chainers though, including enhanced Agrias.)

So far have gotten 2 (more) Exdeaths and a 3rd Victoria whom Im debating on whether or not to level. I already have 2 Vickys max leveled and potted and cant really see the use for a 3rd...

I usually only max level 2 of each of the good units I have; except for Setzer, I leveled 4 of him.
I'm sure you'll pull him eventually! I always find I pull these units way later when I least expect it.
Gratz on joining the club.



Until you join the Ice Goddess Club that is.

Holy crap, thanks man. This did the trick. Weird reason to have it not start, but at least I don't have to reinstall every time I want to play now.

Yeah, I was having 2B use Word Destroyer which is a 35% full break, starting to think that 35% may not be enough. Marie using enhanced Love you all, Wilhelm is popping Impregnable, and Tilith was using Eccentrick to boost the LB to have up for turn 3. He'd get wrecked at the start of turn 2 but I think I need to switch that up to have Tilith instead of using Eccentrick use her resist buff, possibly have Marie using protectga/shellga or Pod 153's damage mitigation to keep him alive. I've adjusted a few things and tried it at work. Got it down to 23% and wiped because of not being able to apply the break again. I think I've got it on next 1-2 attempts though.

I rather spend 100 Lapis per day for extra TM farming on my new acc and beefing up my good units instead of chasing 5* with daily pulls on my old which only resulted in headaches.

Much more positive about the game now.
How the hell are we not friends? You've been here forever....

Pretty sure we were already friends but took a break and also did some account switching, so the actions that will likely result in other people dropping you from their lists...lol.

Actually im back on my old account i started when Global first launched...i gave this one up around the time Chizuru arrived and i wasnt able to pull her but got two of her on a new acc. Welp...fast forward a couple months and my OG acc ended up with much (?) better pulls.

If i had managed to get a second 9S TM or they had given Gilga some crazy Global awakenings i would have stayed loyal...but in this crazy chaining meta still hoping for a 5* chainer was just a buzz kill.
Whew, managed to beat Sheratan with all achievements. Had to do it twice as i messed up on my first try.

Very nice congrats.
That reward is pretty nice...maybe in a couple month for me xD

Oh i completely forgot about the FP Units...leveling/evolving 1* units will be perfect for those daily missions. Thanks.
