Congrats, Vash!

Gotta show restraint.. gotta save up for OK now.. already gave Tidus everything I had... focus forward.. I can do this... /cry
 
In my flurry of pulling for Tidus day #1, I got like 8 or something of her. I kept two.

Well damn. It all depends then on how bad you want him then. We do have future chainers coming in the near future. It all depends on if you really love the water boy or not. Listen to what your heart says lol. Just be prepared in the unfortunate event that you do not pull him. Personally I'd not do it since you have Orlandu already and he > Tidus.

not sure how established/new you are, but this is what I feel like your to do list should look like... id also only complete wakka if you have a unit that can actually use of the throwing weapon. since you have moogles to max 2, and no attack materia, i'd recommend maxwell and queen for some hefty boosts first.

I have 1 30% attack materia and a few 15% already

The only thing that is shying me away from maxwell and queen first over snow's and tidus tmr first is if i put excalb and genji blade on tidus w/ dual wield, the 30% attack ability, large sword mastery and katana mastery, i get more raw attack power. If i add tidus weapon + champ belt i would be about 915 attack compared to the 877 as it is now.

Man, that took a lot more NRG than I expected it to to get all the rest of the aurora keys since they were pretty much all explorations and I screwed up on one of them and had to do it a second time ( place I needed to go was right at the beginning and it was quicker to exit and reenter than re-navigate the maze). Nonetheless, Apocalypse get! Also unlocked the Black Vault in Gronoa so I was able to use the black keys I had thus far. Swapping Rising Sun out for Apocalypse and a 10%hp and atk materia for GS Mastery bumped Tidus up into the 800's, finally. Still weaker than my Noctis though for now. I'm curious to see what the Black Cowl and Dark Knight Soul knocks him up to when they complete soon. It's damn tempting to use the 10% moogle from the FFXII event but I try to make it a rule to not waste moogles on 90% or higher. Maybe I'll use a couple 1%s on DKS.... I kinda just want to use them all either on Rikku or on Agrias as STQ would be a nice upgrade over Apocalypse. I really hope I pull another Gaff sometime soon, need a Bracer for Tidus but am grateful for Ifrit's Claw as it means I'd only need one. I'm just using a Hero's Ring for now. Or, I could try to get Noctis' evasion build going in which case I'd free up two bracers but I don't really want to do that until Tidus surpasses Noctis in ATK strength. I haven't even started farming the twenty sided die yet anyway. Lord there are so many TMs I want to farm. I wish there was a faster way!

Congrats on those who pulled Tidus lately! Nice one :)

I'm sitting on 35 million bro. Pro tip - sell raid coin stacks. Thank me later.

I'm sitting on 35m Gil and I made like 10m on the Titan raid alone. It's not something I even think about.

Holy crap :/ I'm at nearly 3mil and I thought I worked quite hard to build that up :(. I've not sold Raid coins for a while as there is always stuff I could buy, maybe I will have to skip the Crysts and Moogles now and try bump my Gil to catch up with some of you guys.

Add meeee guys. 898,946,239

I'm running Noct ATM but when I feed Orlandeau some pots I'll be giving him dual wield and maining him!

Sent you a request :)

Seems you already made a decision, if you need to affirm it, I recommend going to the unit calculator and test out a few things.

New French interview from JeuxVideo.com with Hirono (JP version producer) and Fujimoto (GL producer), so here we go, more translation for me!

Q1 and answer since it's obvious, they talked about how JP and GL are different, they do JP stuff first then GL producer take those idea and make it into Global, apparently they have a lot of freedom.

Q2 about collab, they said for games not released outside of Japan it's dead (so RIP Monster Hunter mobile collab and Seiken Densetsu 3 I guess), for stuff released in one country and not others (outside of Japan) they have to ask themselves how strong the IP is.

Q3 about Blue Magic, it was supposed to be ready at launch and they even had the graphics for it but some stuff wasn't ready. They say it's important for Final Fantasy and try to find a way to include it into their schedule. Trying to find how our characters would learn those from monsters.
They ask the guy doing the interview if he has ideas he can share them lol

Q4 : PC version is coming and can't say much about it right now.

Q5 : When FF7 and FF8 characters will come?
Cloud already coming before next year, for FF8 they already decided about it. Can't say more for now.

Q6 : is real PvP a possibility?
They are trying to make a more classic JRPG experience so it's not in the work but if players ask about it, they would try to make it.
They are working on more social stuff, they are secretly working on some coop content, coming first in Global.

Then they talk about the fan fiesta stuff I already translated.
Finishing with how happy they were coming to Paris and meet the fans, hope you'll still play and thanks to players, say they'll come back again.
 
You Tidus pullers are making me want to drop tickets. Keep telling myself I don't need him and to save for Cloud instead but it's not helping much

Dang, Cloud before next year is a spanner in the works though. I was hoping to save until the 3% pull rate.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Grats Vashetti and Akuma....always good to see fellow players having some luck before the banner leaves !!

This is one monstrous Elza. Never imagined she could get her atk this high.

souRZ28.png

The power of the Genji Glove.... which is all that I am missing to craft that build (well and a Reberta as well).

+40% ATK/DEF/MAG/SPR while Singing (3 Turns)
AoE ~1350 HP Heal w/ 10x Mod while Singing split over 3 Turns
AoE ~30 MP Heal w/ 0.6x Mod while Singing split over 3 Turns

*slidewhistle*

I don't want to rub it in, but I was right and so, probably, was my rationale on the first post I made on the topic.

Incidentally, I think Lyrian was right as well, though to my knowledge he never chimed in on this particular topic - we won't see Ramza until around Roy's release. The "singing meta" was a mistake and Gumi's putting it off as long as they can.

Welp... that was on the very low end of my expectations for Lunera's song buff.... which makes her EXACTLY equal to un-enhanced Ramza's singing. So therefore RIP enhanced Ramza anytime soon.

-- I caught a metric ton of flak for suggesting that Enhanced Ramza wasn't going to show up until a month after Roy, minimum, and claimed December-ish.

** Now, there is a **SMALL** chance that Ramza's enhancements will show up with the FFT-3 banner, for thematic reasons. However, with such a lackluster song boost, Ramza's singing is still tied for best on Global. Therefore, there is zero legitimate reason for Ramza's enhancements to be released. Seriously, though, don't hold your breath.



-- Grats to everyone who pulled Tidus today!

Fryejva and Snow's TM finish up today. Now 3x Rikky, 1 C.Art, and 1 Rem. Probably switch over to sets of 5 soon once Rikku is done.

And it seems like Enhanced Ramza has become the new 6* WoL, which was Orlandu

What's the most hyped thing after Ramza's enhancement? I don't see anything else that need major delay.
I'd be funny if that came before Balthier though.

Quick edit : no nevermind I know, Tidus/Aileen/Orlandeau's enhancements.
Oh boy they will let us wait YEARS, especially Aileen's with her 75% imperil.

Sage Sakura by far. Ayaka to a lesser extent.

Unit wise
Next would be Onion Knight -> Ayaka -> Cloud

Most likely Ayaka being the big must have character due to how powerful she is(She is definitely the last unit from Season 1 that is a massive jump), and Cloud playing up hard on nostalgia. Onion Knight is lumped in, because he was supposedly the first to trump the trinity, but it died down pretty quick after,

But I feel Aileen's Enhancements will trump all once people get Robot Arm.
 
Sigh, the update to Nox didn't fix the disconnect issues after all. Happened last night and now that I'm home, again today. It's the message asking if I want to delete mission data that's preventing the script from just bribing the game back up. Is there a script that takes the new disconnect messages into account? First saying no to the aforementioned message and then saying yes to continue mission afterwards?

Nothing too surprising except maybe that PC version. It would be nice to be able to macro without an emulator.

If they are giving up on JP collabs here, and they have so much "freedom", then how about some GL-exclusive collabs? What would people want? We joked when Ariana came about Laura Croft or Wei Shen but...who knows? It would have to be a property japan doesn't care about but the west does.

Sage Sakura by far. Ayaka to a lesser extent.

They are kinda stuck there. It'll be really weird if they release all the story characters except her and then she just shows up 5 months later. But if they delay all of the S2 character banners it'll leave a huge hole they'd have to fill.

Kamui looks so good, a shame he is a 5* max.
What's worse, he could be a friend unit with his awful still, I mean 10% ATK, seriously?
Blade Bash? What?

He's coming right before Cloud and he's just a TM unit T-T (120 ATK Fire Katana for Fire Veritas since there's no Fire Axe)

And yeah I think people will start to overhype Onion Knight soon enough, but even without that Gumi probably know he's a good character (like Balthier) so incoming delay.
Oh well, more time to hoard!

Reading the Reddit version of this....

Looking at Cloud announcement "before end of year on Global"....
.... looking at the JP release schedule...
.... his banner was right before the Roy banner...

... yup ...

Calling it now.... Cloud's banner will be released on Black Friday. Mark your calendars; Gumi's going to cash in on him hard that weekend.
 
The most bizarre thing in the entire game to me is that Cloud is not bar none the most OP unit in the game. When they released him as early as they did I started thinking he wouldn't live up to my initial expectations but man, the main protag of the most popular entry in the series and they didn't make him blow everyone out of the water? A real shocker to me. It does however mean Squall is poised to surpass him *fingers crossed* so I may yet be pleased in the end ;p

Oooooh, 9S TM has a skill that can chain with Fohlen! NEED @_@

R020:ミラージュ AoE 8 Hits 300% Phys [30MP]
(Frames: 42-52-62-72-82-92-102-112)

42-10-10-10-10-10-10-10
While Fohlen is 10-10-10-10-10-10-10

Plus everyone need 21O TM anyway, for that sweet counter heal.

Can someone pretty please put up a sweet Fryevia geared for Ultros for my wife's account? Now that she has the Tilith/WoL/Rikku trio, I've been helping her clear some of the trial rewards she was missing. Her ID is 602 076 823 (Bunches) if you don't have her, would be super appreciated! I'm assuming solo Tidus probably isn't enough damage for this trial, I've been kitting mine out for the other ones.

Man tomorrow's trial is ruined because of Xon.
From exviuswiki:
Bring Xon and use Twist of Fate to steal Cid's 999% DEF/SPR buff. Enjoy invulnerability and easy win.

(In before Gumi changed it or will tomorrow because of people talking about it)
I don't have Xon anyway :x

i can assure you that gumi will put some bullshit skill that triggers if one ally gets buffed past 200% or something like that

No Xon for me either but I'm sure someone will share him if it does work. Egg Seekers was such a bust for me, almost 100 summons and not even a Xon.

Dracu Lasswell enhancements please and a buff. He is way too weak for the current meta. Right now most 4*s are more powerful than him. I also wonder what they will do to White Knight Noel.

Also, wish they would spruce up the Halloween unit sprites; especially Demon Rain, and especially VLC Fina. These units are before Gumi became really good with the GL sprites.

Nothing too surprising except maybe that PC version. It would be nice to be able to macro without an emulator.

I'd be pretty happy for a PC version. Hopefully they change some of the UI to match a keyboard and mouse.

Maybe Demon or Aquan killer? I don't think there are any special status effects, so pretty much just as much MAG as possible. Diablos for Demon Killer is probably best. The rest of the team is pure defense and support while she nukes away, that's how I did it on mine.
