Here's mine:


I went for more pure hp and some resistance over the spr. Kinda depends on what you're using him for. Mine will get shredded by magic bosses but he's indestructible with everything else.

i think that between the mechanical heart and reactive defense mine might be able to handle better hits, whereas yours is basically a blood sack :X
time will tell i guess
though i'll admit that a dedicated "pure def" or "pure spr" setup might be a better fit for trials depending on the situation..
but I'd say I'm in a good enough place to now care about my healer (tility)// support (rikku) // mage damage dealer (dfina or emperor), right?

I have mechanical heart on mine too. He needs it since curaga isn't going to make a dent in that hp. Reactive defense is nice but I'm expecting to have a better damage mitigation up from some other character. If you're just looking to move on to another character I think you're totally fine. Emperor is going to become a beast on the 20th so maybe start building him up? Mage gear is only going to get more relevant.

 

[Kouriozan]

Hope enhancement batch will be this week (it should be since we're getting Ayaka story event too), I want to see how strong my Emperor can be with it.

 

[Muku]

This story makes me want to bash my head in. Urgh. Struggling to get through it to get the 100% Moogle. I know I let myself fall behind a bit. Ugh. Plus trying to get through stupid exploration quests and all that fun crap. Working my way to Tetra Sylphid now. Think I'll have enough RNG to get that then will just wait on it to build back up to continue story.

Afraid not.

The leaked schedule, which has been correct so far, places the next enhancement batch with the Halloween banner on the 20th, as it contains the Halloween units from last year.

Ah yes, I was cheking the leak again, and assumed Story Event always came with enhancements like in Japan, then I saw October 20th for Emperor/T.T./etc, oh well.

You're not enjoying the story? This has been my favorite segment since the ass pull of

Spoiler

Rain using a hidden super power to whoop Super Lasswell.

I wish the rest of the story would have been this good instead of making us suffer through the whole

Spoiler

Zoldaad section full of people I don't give a crap about.

Haven't beaten it yet, but I'm enjoying what I'm playing through.

 

[Syntsui]

The story of this game is seriously good by the franchise abysmal standards.

No. Everyone has their annoying streaks and makes me want to leave them behind. I would be a party of one at this point.

Especially when

Spoiler

Nichol was going on his REVENGE RAWR spree..

FFS.

I guess maybe it's good for mobile standards, but I don't really play mobile games. I feel like this stuff is bottom of the barrel kinda drama though. Stuff I tend to avoid.

Edit: Had just enough to get Tetra and then upgrade. Capped her out at 2* now. Just going to wait for NRG build up to continue story. Gives me time to go burn NRG on JP for currency

Ah, I think maybe I'm a bit ahead of you then. That whole segment did feel a little like beating your head off of a desk. It gets better, (imo).

I am so going all out for Ayaka. Been awhile since my last Rainbow. I got like 30 tickets, 7ex tickets and one 4* to waste. Plus a couple lapis saved for a rainy day. Should be fun time or not at all.

I just completed Tetra. So just finished Clouds of Lasting Light + Slyph's Cavern. Got far enough so I could catch up on Espers. Haha.

You're getting close to the end!

Thankfully all those free EN pots paid out over the last few days should cover the very expensive costs of the final zones of the story.

I have so many. Have blown some to catch up. Will use them when I get on that last bit.
Is this continent the last for the Moogle?

You've still got the second half to do, but yes.

 

[Muku]

You've still got the second half to do, but yes.

That's what I thought. I'd prepped up for that. Though if I was really close I'd just NRG finish it, but I've got a little bit. Once I finish it on main gotta start exactly where I left off on main and do it on alt. Ew.

Edit: Little less than 100k currency left to go! -I really hope I got my math right. LOL

 

[Advocatus Diaboli]

The story of this game is seriously good by the franchise abysmal standards.

I completely agree.

I would be Day One (even preorder!) for a Brave Exvius story done in the Octopath Traveler engine.

The skeleton of an amazing game is there. The villains that aren't quite villains, but they're still villains. Actual character sacrifice (Luka/Elle). Comic relief that turns into something more (Jake). And, what gets me: the father-son dynamics of Raegan and Rain. Plus, Rain is ... I don't know, he reminds me of Stocke from Radiant Historia. He's not your typical, idiotic protagonist.

There's enough here.

 

[Zera_Bloodwinter]

Just finished S1. That shit was awesome. Fuck behemoth though. Rain is a bad ass. Just wish his unit was much stronger. This was a good story, it had its wtf moments but it turned out alright. On to season 2!!!!

CG Rain next week on JP, believe.

 

[Celegus]

CG Rain has to be bonkers right? I do appreciate that they finally made the story characters useful, it always feels kinda silly that the stock versions are so useless (and half of them don't even have a 6* version)

I'm almost to the end of the story and will definitely finish it up in the next day or two. I very much enjoyed it overall, had way more substance than I was expecting going in.

I thought he would be, but for some insane reason they made CG Lid the breaker. He will probably be a beefy tank.

He wants to be the very best...
Like no one ever was!

 

[StrikeNinja24]

So uh my daily broke things.

I mean it kind of is Final Fantasy pokemon

 

[indigo-cyclops]

So uh my daily broke things.

Lolll


Edit: Reading further back, people saying fuck Behemoth? What are you referring to? Was that one of the bosses at the end? I really had no issues beating the final missions so maybe I missed something!

 

[jnWake]

So uh my daily broke things.

7/10 pull.

 

[Rixa]

*pulls-Lightning*

I forgot......I forgot that that had actually happened to me man. Damn, the feels. I buried that away. So deep away.....

Been there, done that. My only EX 5* tix was Lightning . Good thing is that Iam using both of them daily.

In Expeditions...

So uh my daily broke things.

7 Stars incoming, you are first test subject to this.

 

[Muku]

StrikeNinja, I guess that is one way to pull Orlandu. LOL. Old man be broken.

Edit: [JP] Whelp.. leveled again. LOL. 63 now.

Well this Mog King event was a smashing success. Pretty much done.

Purchased....

- ALL tickets (including 150k 5* one)
- Robe
- Doublehand
- ALL cactaur
- 10% Moogle
- ALL Sacred Crystals
- ALL Holy Crystals
- ALL cheap 6* mats
- ALL Screamroot + Crystals to make keys
- ALL Star Quartz

For last bit will be buying a bunch of Attack 10% and Magic 10% abilities. I need so many. Originally planned to buy 8 each, but I will probably buy enough for all the characters I'd like to have them right now. So little work left but not bad.

 

[robotuw]

My favorite Orlandu quote! "7."

Yeah do they mean story-wise or the actual fight?

Spoiler

I sincerely doubt Light and Water are actually dead.

They must mean story since I practically killed that guy by accident.

 

[Muku]

Obviously a fan of Type-0.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Finally finished story mode. 100% moogle is lovely. Also did all quests for the vault rewards. Feels good to be done with all of this.

Oh and the black screen still happens when I load up the app the first time Now I wonder if it'll ever be fixed.

 

[Nirolak]

I had a quick question. Will Game Center transfer your data if you're on iOS, or does it need a Facebook account linked?

I'm mainly asking sine my friends insisted I try the game again, and I got a good roll, but when I click the Facebook button to link a real account, it tells me that I've logged into a Facebook account before with this device, so I'm worried it will try to log into the dummy rerolling account and delete my good roll.

 

[Feep]

Holy shit. I just pulled Orlandeau myself, on a daily. (And, incidentally, got the same weird "7" message as above.)

Wow.

I could replace my 900 ATK Tidus or my 766 Mag Rem. Problem is, I don't really have enough weapons/TMs right now for a strong second attacker. Hmmm...but I could chain with friend-landu's, something I've never been able to do...

 

[Alkez]

[JP] Done with the mog king. Picked up almost everything, around 350k-400k spent. Still got 40k so will use the 10k from the upcoming challenge to get the 1% moogles cause I have nothing else to pick up. Back to my NRG sitting at full lol.

 

[Vashetti]

New notices in game for the Ayaka banner and the corresponding story event.

 

[Kouriozan]

I will reiterate what I said 6 months ago :

There is that awesome dude, Kamui, but he's limited as 5* max

Wasted cool sprite >.<

I mean, just look at him

Alim you're so cruel to make him 5* max T-T
In the JP version, Yuri got her 6* but not Kamui.

It only uses Facebook, if you login with a previously linked one, you'll get a warning like "do you want to permanently erase your current device account".

 

[Ombala]

So what is good in the upcoming banner?

 

[Rixa]

So what is good in the upcoming banner?

There are few interesting things in this banner.

1. If you are TM farming, you might want to grab few units for TM's
2. If you really need and lack healer (Refia, Y'shtola, Luka, Aria), you might try to get Ayaka

Remember GAF golden rule:

Never chase rainbow

Ayaka is base 5* and rate will be very very low (~0.5% to get Ayaka).
All in all, this is a banner that can be skipped, cause chances are you get some of them later (or not). Also 2x 4* base unit means that getting specific gold unit is very hard.

So, this banner is safe to skip and save your Lapis for better day.

Spoiler

I'am chasing Ayaka.

 

[Alkez]

So what is good in the upcoming banner?

Ayaka is the best pure white mage.
Goken has the second best physical dps clothes.
Silvia has a mag sword for units such as Ashe, Fryevia, and Trance Terra.
Kamui has the best fire weapon atm outside of Vargas' TM (who was a time limited unit).
Yuri looks cool.

For me this is a very easy skip. Silvia is the only thing I want but cba to waste resources on double yellow, especially when I have Brave Suit and a second Ramza to get another. May daily to try my luck but no real resources will be spent here.

Ahhh yes, I think I accidentally skipped that cutscene so I bet that has something to do with it!

 

[greyshark]

I have Fryevia so I'll be pulling for Sylvia- have had mixed success getting the banner 4* I want lately so here's hoping it's not too draining on my lapis.

 

[wilstreak]

ah I just want Sylvia, but why do they have to put Goken who is totally useless even for his TM. At least Eve still have decent TMR.

gonna spend max 10 ticket and hope i got Sylvia.

 

[Syntsui]

People thirsting for Sylvia could always wait for Drace who has a better sword.

When I started JP I pulled a fuck ton of Sylvias on the type banner, so I really can't recommend chasing her here if she is the only thing you care.

How long do you think his banner will come?

3 months or more?

Much more, he came with the second XII a few months ago on JP.

 

[Celegus]

Just dailies for me, though a Silvia would be fantastic. Not counting on it though.

 

[c-murph]

So uh my daily broke things.

Oh shit. Orlandeau 7?! I hear he's top tier.

That reminds of the time my FF Tactic game glitched and gave me a unit with a messed up name. Old, "~34n" saved my ass so many times. I used to pretend he was a robot.

 

[vato_loco]

Saw two of you got Orlandeau from dailies, so I went in, hopes up.

Got another Cinque.

Spoiler

Fuck you, game.

Anyways, I'm halfway through the fourth island and there's one tiny thing I don't like about the story:

Spoiler

Why in the name of all FUCK do they just stand there and wait for Lazarov to finish talking and sending yet ANOTHER ambush / enemy / boss / whatever the hell he has at hand. Why don't you beat the living shit out of him, THEN listen to his stupid reasons?! It's happened five or six times already and goddamit it's getting ridiculous.

EDIT:

Uh... thanks?
