JP guys have you picked up the 5k lapis deal? I'm still unsure on it. The weapons seem good but not amazing.

Probably good for new players but I don't see much value in the weapons as a vet player and would rather keep the lapis for step-up banners.

I picked it up.

The sword was a nice upgrade for OK. The Rod went to CG Sakura. The Moogles were a nice infusion. And tickets I can hold on to for later? Yes please.

I initially picked it up with intention to enhance the sword. Then they took that down again, so... it's all good though. I don't have a ton of TMs yet here, just a small handful, so it's nice.

Holy shit this Nightmare Pumpkin King is fucking annoying. I can get a fully self-sufficient team going, but then I just get Soul Syphon-d every single fucking turn into oblivion past 40%. Any of you guys have pointers on this one?

I got him to 60% and then nuked him with 3 2B (Avoid Attack) and Light Veritas (Saint Buster).

Beat the ELT boss which makes me feel good. Woot!

I got my group in JP setup so I need some friends. My number is: 402, 286, 888. I'm sharing Raegan right now, but I don't have him leveled up as I just started. I could sure use some friends!

I sent you an invite. Let me know if you need a specific character for something.

Motherfucking cheap ass Nightmare piece of shit boss.

That is all.

had him at 5%, breaks up, MP drained, but he did some fucking move that toasted my entire back line and iNichol.

Fucking shit.

That list of coming 7* is pretty large. Best part is Tidus is on that and I have two on JP!! I think I should work on second Tidus TM and then turn him into a crystal to 7* my main one.

Yep. Me too. Ill have 7* Tidus, Dark Veritas and Trance Terra in a few days...I wouldnt have done Dark Veritas if it wasnt for him playing nice with Sephiroth (pulled a second one of him this week too.) I'm happy out with the 7* thing. Dont see myself getting any super trust masteries though. Ive three Nyx and never used more than one so that might happen at some point...

Will eventually also be able to 7* Sephiroth, Nyx and Lila too...so full squad. CG fina should still be more thasn servicable at 6*, though and opportunity for a dupe there will result in as lapis dump.

Didn't realise they were upgrading more than Lightning this week. Hopefully they get all the units to 7* by the end of the year instead of taking a year to upgrade everyone like they did with 6*s.

I would guess the initial batch is bigger and then they'll just release like 7 new ones every month, spreading them out over 6 months+

Anyone have a good strat for killing the ELT Halloween boss?

Do you have ayaka/Rikku or friend units? Reraise seems key for me when I ran it. Other than that, typical atk debuff and def buff for your units. I got him down in 14 turns...so no 10 turn achievement for me.

Are we in another emergency maintenance or was this scheduled? I enjoy free stuff but I would also like to be able to play at some point lmao.

This is what I'm afraid of. I don't have any of the early units, let alone dupes. I can get away with 6* supports for a certain amount of time but when content gets to the point of needing 7* damage I'm basically screwed.

Used up a few big tickets today and got both Noctis and CG Fina. Happy to finally have a healer.

Pretty much completes my CG collection of Fina/Lid/Sakura/Nichol/Raegan. Missing Lasswell and Jake, but they aren't all that appealing anyway.

Spent 15 tickets and 2 4* tickets (have a fair amount because of compensation). Got 2 Crowes and 6 off banner yellows. I am destined to never have a tank on JP...

JP

Is there a need for the JP symbol anymore even? Has everybody global jumped ship?

Said I'd go all in for a second CG Fina. Took 7 tickets, not so bad. Don't have Noctis so tempted to continue but will wait for FFVIII for now.

I was going to bring it up but I just stopped using the JP tag now. Pretty much everyone on GAF are JP players now. I use the "other site" for GL discussions and this for JP.
 

LucaMac

Member
Im both, but I mostly talk JP now as its currently a little more exciting and I need to bother Shouta etc for a carry while in Global I dont...

JP: 125,457,529 Plenty of spaces just now. Did a big clean out. Currently have a spirit based Lila up, though I can take requests for other units.

Didn't realise how good the 20nrg maze is. Should have been running that all of this anniversary month. Getting a lot of burst pots and have quite a few units who's LB I need to raise.

That's what I've been doing all day. I wish we had the 20 NRG maze in Global. It's sooooo good.
 

Shouta

20 EN maze is definitely pretty fantastic. That's how I maxed both S2 Lid and S2 Nichol's LB. Still need to work on one of my Raegans, lol
 

Shouta

Member
Grats Shouta on your Noctis pull! Just saw it on my feed hehe

Thanks, lol. I got super lucky and only used 5 or so tickets for him. I really need that darn Ring of the Lucii. That think is so useful, it's actually a little ridiculous.

Meanwhile I can't even get a WoL...

I've just accepted that I'm not going to get a tank. I can ask you guys to put one up when I need one. I'm starting to get to the point where I can gear two DPS.

It's normally 40 NRG mind you. Half off and all that. It is brilliant though.

That's why I'm annoyed I didn't realise how good it was sooner. I need to do Sakura's, Nichol's, and Rydia's LB.

I kind of was doing it to death and couldn't hack much more of it. Will go back though if it's still around afye maintanence. Maxed LB for CG Fina, Sephiroth, Dark Veritas, Onion Knight, Rikku and a few others. Doing Earth Veritas now, Tim and Silt next maybe. Don't know where to put them after that...maybe any unit that will be going 7*, even if it's lb is muck...

So the step-up goes the Sephiroth-route. Dammit I hope I get either Squall/Rinoa with tix or the first 3 steps coz I ain't gonna have enough to afford even a full round!

Edit: I just noticed that unlike the Sephiroth step-up, this one lacks the 1.5x/2x/3x rainbow rate which was present at the Sephiroth step-up's 1st/4th/5th step. This is without a doubt a shittier deal... being the first batch of 7*-able units you'd think they would give you better rates...

Damn you're right. Pretty stingy from Alim, especially considering we need dupes now. I'll do the first step as a moogle for a player in my position is worth it. Hoping I get a good number of Lamira's tbh. That TM would be great on Fina and Nichol.

Rinoa at 7* has the potentials to outgun CG Sakura. But 2 Rinoa's for her 7* form is prolly a little too high a goal to shoot for :(

phew, probably a little to late to the prty.
decide to do 1 multipulls in the hope of getting on-banner yellow (after not getting it in 50 pulls).
Actually get Pirate Jake and Illusionist Nichol.
No rainbow, but getting both yellow is more than what i asked for.
Glad 5000 lapis didn't go to waste.

Congrats man, iNichol is a real solid unit.

I pulled handful of times trying to get D-Rain, and eventually got him without too much fuss. Got him almost fully enhanced, skill-wise, and it's pretty nuts the damage he can do on counters. The problem I'm having with him on Nightmare is that he dies instantly if I have iNichol do the redirect. I could give him a lot more evasion gear (right now he has 30% evade), but then his damage would take a big hit. Has anyone used the Rain counter strategy to beat Nightmare, and if so, how did you build him so that he doesn't die?

Also, saw Val logged in and updated his character to D-Rain too, which is exciting.

Yeah, that nerfed step up banner is bad to see, since Gumi will almost certainly use this one for Sephiroth when global gets to it.

I'm only at 15k lapis on JP, so I'll have to farm up a bit if I don't get lucky.

Son of a....

Just saw that my FFBE macro ordered like 15 copies of some 3DS game. Thank god it wasn't out yet so I could just cancel all the orders and not get charged.

I need to figure out a better way to make sure that doesn't happen.

That Step-Up is garbage. It better not be 25000 Lapis in total but knowing them it will be. At least, the Special Login Bonus is really good.

Eek, that's not good. Are you doing it on the Amazon version? Could you move the icons to a spot so the macro doesn't do that?
