Not a bad plan, unfortunately FFIV is my favorite FF, so I'll be going in for nostalgia's sake. Can't wait to hear FFIV music again.
Wonder if the event will have a throwback to Cindy Mindy and Sandy, that boss fight was the one that killed me the most on my first playthrough.
Damn, it might be time to replay FFIV again.

Congrats! That TMR is awesome.

I kind of expect them to be the 2nd to last set of bosses or THE last set of bosses, even though Barbariccia was the last enemy you fought in the Tower of Zot anyway. It's weird because she's a summon this time, so...
You already do it yearly like I do?
The only decision to make with it is which version.

I do it every few years, but yea I have the itch back. Last time, I finished the mobile version, which is basically the DS version with improvements. It was different than the SNES version but still a great game. It's a shame they didn't wait a bit or clean up the models to current graphical standards.

Yup. I actually have that version on DS and Steam, but also the PSone version (which is actually good and still my preferred version), GBA and PSP versions. I haven't had either SNES/SFC cart for years, sadly.

Wow, just found that sprite library with the 4 fiends animations on Reddit, they're all really fucking good.

I am thinking I'm going to need all 4 of these units.

Good luck getting them. I'm gonna pull a couple of times just to try and get some bonus units, but I won't be doing more than that. Not even doing the daily pull. Just doesn't seem worth it for this banner.

Naru/Nal information is out. She's the Girl on the Coeurl and the new 5-star in JP.
Quick thoughts on Nal:
Trust Master Reward: +25% ATK & 25% Accuracy + +50% Equipped ATK when 2-Handing
This was kind of expected in regards to modifiers. I was secretly hoping for 75% TDH but that definitely wasn't happening, lol. This is nice though because you'll be able to use it alongside the Martial Gloves and Buster Form to determine what your best in slot will be. In some cases, you might want to use this one over the Martial Gloves so you can take advantage of Desch's Earring or the flip might be true too. It'll depend on character. If they end up adding more TMRs that are higher than Desch's 45 attack, the value of this TMR will go up.
She has a lot going for her surprisingly for what folks would consider an off-peak 5-star unit.
Her two attacks are:
She has 2 things that might be a problem. She doesn't do 2 attacks per turn while doing TDH and she loses out a bit of her effectiveness depending on the element. She either gives up her element or her damage variance for anything but Thunder, I think. That's a little unfortunate.
Her best in slot would be:
Weapon: Stoss Spear
Helmet: Dragoon Helm
Body: Cloud's Uniform or Sephiroth's Coat
Accessory 1: Martial Gloves
Accessory 2: Martial Gloves
Materia 1: Sonic Hunter (Nal's TMR)
Materia 2: Dragoon's Pride (Duke's TMR)
Materia 3: Dragoon's Pride (Duke's TMR)
Materia 4: Pride of the Veritas - Wind
Edit: Aranea's Stoss Spear has higher attack than the Zodiac Spear. I totally forgot about that one. Zodiac would be the best choice for folks that don't have Aranea though!

- 100% Killers for Beast/Plant/Insect with and extra 50% Beast Killer with 1 turn prep

- 槍牙襲雷 - 2 Turn Cooldown: 1100% AoE 12 Hit (10Fr) Thunder Physical Attack

Wow Zodiac Spear BiS. Thats so weird
Shouta

Actually, I just realized there's a better one. Aranea's TMR. That's 140 ATK over the Zodiac's 130 and it's still 2H to take advantage of the damage variance.
You have to pull Aranea though where the Zodiac Spear was free ages ago.

Hey Everyone
Just wanted to let you all know that I have decided to quit Brave Exvius. This isn't a rage quit or anything, it's just been a long time coming really. I've been on off with this game for a while now and I'm just at that point where I don't want to play anymore.
If you check the archives I've actually always said that I would probably quit when 7*s are announced, as this would mark the next era and would be a good time for me to leave. The fact that I don't really like the mechanic to acquire them makes this a bit easier. Having a use for 5* dupes is nice but I'm not really a fan of requiring them for the next powercreep.
I think the other factor to me leaving, which ironically happened at the same time as the 7* announcement, was GAF going down. I noticed after Nier that I was losing interest in the game again, not because Nier had done anything to me, but because the thread was so quiet. It was only then that I realised that my enjoyment of the game is tied to this community, and while it's still here, I guess our community is a little fragmented atm. You have some people choosing to stay on GAF, some people have moved to Era, and some people, like myself, are most active on Discord now. While we always had Discord and GAF it never really felt like the people who were active on Discord weren't active on GAF in the way that it does now with both GAF and Era. It's not really anyone's fault though, the chips fell where they did, but I guess for me that sense of community isn't as strong as it once was, and as such my ties to the game have waned.
So yeah, that's it. Feels weird having uninstalled the game. Think it's going to take some getting used to but I feel it's the right decision. There's so many other games that I want to play that I haven't had the time to because of BE. That being said I have loved this game, and I loved being a member of this community. This was the first time I was ever a part of an online community, or any community for that matter, and so leaving this game is probably more difficult for me than it should be. But I hope to remain in the community through Discord. And knowing me I'll probably be back within the month haha.
I just want to thank you all for making this community and experience what it has been for me. It's been about more than just BE. We've talked about other games, sports, life. I remember being on the outside looking in and just wanting to get an account so badly to join the conversation. Never would I have imagined what it would turn in to. I'm just grateful to have been a part of it.

Respect your decision Alkez. I'm still mixed on where I stand with 7* units, but it definitely deflated me a bit at first. I think it's easier for me to swallow since I have so damn many 5* dupes.
You did a lot of good stuff here, sucks to see you go, but I get it. Enjoy all the new free time!
-
I had to do 2 10 pulls this AM to get Barbariccia, but I got her. Also snagged a Rubicante and several Scarmiglione. I'll keep doing dailies for a bit to see if I can snag a Cagnazzo, but since it's not limited, I'm not doing any more 10 pulls. The spritework on these guys still impresses me.
In other news - this happened with arena rankings. I wonder if I'll get the top 30k reward or not.

Welcome to the thread!
I was looking at Rubicante's kit....and got to thinking.
Could this guy be the next unsuspecting tank? I wish I had a second ring of Lucii to be able to test. Essentially with his "cloak closed" move, and provided he hasn't been imperiled, he would be completely invulnerable to all elemental magic. If you could get him to physical evade 100% (seems tough with his equipment limitations), the only thing that could hurt him would be non elemental magic or hybrid attacks. Now that we have iNichol, it really makes this type of thing viable. Not to mention he has auto-counters.
I might play around to see what level of physical evade you can get on him. Are there any cloth evade armors coming out eventually from what we know in JP?
That's a bummer, Alkez, but I understand where you're coming from. Best of luck to you, man. Hope to see you in other games!

So this morning the weird trend for me continued with these farming events:
250: Scarmiglione (I was okay with this because some of these events I almost never get a banner unit)
1 ticket: Rubicante (that went well!)
2nd ticket: Barbariccia
So... wtf? This first happened with Queen, then later happened again with Trance Terra. I was afraid with Nier that 2B would evade me but I eventually got her the 2nd week.
What this means is that next event I probably won't get any of the banner units for bonus points or at the very most will all be the 3* unit constantly (like with Kingsglaive).

I only just realized how the new Awakening system works after folding two extra Rinoas into the first one I rolled, oops.
Shouta

RIP those Rinoas. =(
This half-EN weekend is really helping me get gil and catuars to level my 7-stars. This is the first time in ages where I've been short on money, so I've needed it.
Ouch. That sucks, man.
I ended up farming another 5k lapis and did Step 2 and 3 on the FFVIII banner. I was hoping to get another Rinoa, but ended up getting Emperor, another Kunshira, and Ayaka. I'm happy I got Ayaka, but damn, I wanted that Rinoa. That 7* continues to elude me. Oh well, at least I can bench naked Fina and use Ayaka.

Farming. Going after specifically lapis. Is it too much of an MMO term? Haha.
Ran quest missions until I got 5k lapis. Since I just started, there are tons of them I haven't done yet. I think I've farmed some 30k from story missions. In the end, I didn't get another Rinoa.

Woo, daily this morning got me Cag, so I have all 4 fiends now. I like his possibilities with iNichol, especially after watching Val's latest Aigiaon video.
Otherwise, no news on my end, just farming MK to replace a lot of ascension materials that I've been burning through lately. Wonder which banner we'll get this week?

Nice! Gratz.
I got my second Delita. So I can 7-star him. I might do that because he's probably the best Dark damage finisher right now.
Got my first Delita in JP there recently too. Most recent ticket was my first Queen.
Delita is still a mainstay in my global squad with his breaks, however with my current 7* Dark Veritas and two Sephiroths in my bank is he a good candidate for my 10/10 choice ticket?
Currently I have most areas covered (some in the future) with 7* units due to a great run of luck. But I'm wondering whether or not to go for a 5* tank when the time comes (still using WOL). Basch is very tempting, but I already have one Wilhiem. Damage and healing are covered but Delita as a finisher with my other two beasties is awfully tempting...
Thoughts? Of course it's all just in theory now...things could change with the rollout of 7* and anything I get in between.

I think the new 5* Ariana is more like the japanese step-up system. You're guaranteed to get her after 5 10+1 pulls, based on the little I read. Weird system though.
I'll take my freebie version and be done though. Already have Ling, no way am I pulling that otherwise crap banner. Kitty Ariana would have to be balls crazy as a unit, and I doubt that's happening.
Shouta
Member
Delita is probably the best Dark finisher in the game when it comes to physical attacks. He has a 760% and 1000% attack he can rotate between every turn and his 1000% attack has a -120% Dark imperil attached to it pushing his attacks to 1672% and 2200% respectively. He also has 60% DEF and SPR breaks as well which are fantastic for fights where they work and serve to further his attack strength.He's also very easy to gear for because he has 150% Doublehand with his Trust Ability. A Martial Glove and a Buster Form each will be enough to get yourself a damage dealer. He also has 110% ATK with a Sword and even has 40% critical chance to further increase his damage. So he potentially can be a very good one. In addition, he also can provide a MP refresh buff, lol
His downsides are that he loses out a lot if you don't use his TMR for his Trust Ability. 100% DH and 20% of his attack come from it. An additional 50% of his attack comes from equipping a sword as well. Trying to make the jump to a 2H weapon for damage variance would be pretty difficulty as a result. He also only has an imperil for darkness so if you use him as a finisher for other elements, you'll need to have folks that can provide it.
I never pulled Ling. I think at the time my thought process was: "Well, I'd mostly want her for the breaks, and 6* WoL will be here soon."
Then I spent months wanting for a 6* unit with 40%+ breaks and reliable AOE MP regen.
Kitty Ariana could be the first legit bard, but that is of suspect value.
Pejo
Member
Ling has a real opportunity if her enhancements are good, though there are better MP regen units and breakers at this point in the game. She was priceless for a lot of fights back in the day though.
If Ariana is the first "real" bard we get, then I expect Roy, and Ramza/Lunera enhancements are going to be close behind.
Honestly, I haven't really looked at the gear. I just think it's more Ariana stuff so I'm not all that interested.
With Dark Veritas and eventually Sephiroth at 7* I can see me seriously considering a super dark team. My other current options include 7* Trance Terra (has a decent dark attack) and eventually 7* CG Fina (also has some dark moves)...
Currently have Tidus at 7* using a dark weapon (doesn't chain fantastically with DV mind) and Nyx awaiting 7* too. Tank and/or finisher is where I have a hole in my roster. My bards are also lacking the option of 7* so could prioritise Roy over Delita or Wilhiem/Basch either. Just getting a bit excited about the choice ticket and what 7* will bring for these units in general.
Your Dark Veritas is nice and shiny too. It plays nice with mine. My Cloud and Elfried are currently off on their Chocobos looking for TM percentage, will give this true double hand thing a whirl when they are finished. 65% each now.
