I *think* I read that it does.
Even if it doesn't, the Japanese app is apparently so far ahead of us in Quality of Life improvements and it's berserk that we don't have that, given that the content is not tied to the app version. We should have the newest app version while still being behind in content.
Square-Enix gonna Sqaure-Enix (or is it DeNA gonna DeNA?).

All The Bravest also a far better Gatcha in the form that $35 got you every character you could get... yeah it was random who'd show up in battle but you couldn't pay literally $1000s of dollars to not get the thing you want.

I got my Blitzblade and Quake. I don't think I'll be returning to Dr Mog for a while
Off to finish the elites. Done I, II, III and VIII. XIII is next. I shudder to face the V ones...! Why are the V elites always the toughest?

Bladeblitz upgraded to 4 uses and soon Quake too.
Got a nice Greater Wind Orb from the boss today as well as my second set of 3 Greater Fire. Though he can be an absolute bastard with his counters and AoE.

the elite with that stupid condor/eagle thing that retaliates when he's hidden behind his wings is causing me no end of trouble. i think that's a V mission.

Only attack with 2 people. Have your mage attack during human and tornado forms with your strongest ice magic, have a melee fighter attack him in hand form. Everyone else should be on defense/healing since this greatly minimizes counter attacks. Always have him dead within 3 casts (blizzaga hitting for 9k with level 35ish Terra)

He closes his wings after every three attacks. Or four, I can't remember exactly. Just time it right, then defend until he opens his wings again and repeat.

Spend my first... 5 Mythril (out of 116) on 1 Relic draw just to see what I can get.
Got a 4* Dagger which... happened to be 3x upgrade for Kain, YASSS. Now he hits stronger than Cloud and the weapon (Cat Claws) is not even maxed yet!
Who drops Lesser Wind Orbs so I can hone Double Cut? Bought 10 from Mog but I still need 20 more...

Just did 6 runs of moblitz elite, no greater wind orbs
Why did I switch to this from lenna event?
Why did I switch to this from lenna event?
I'm now just grinding Magicite and deciding what to spend it on later. I'm probably going to aim for Bladeblitz first still since I only need 3 more Greater Wind orbs. I'm at 10,900 Magicite but only reason I'm holding off on buying the 3 orbs is because I can probably just get the drop from the boss instead.

Yeah I'm done with moblitz elite for now, done it almost 10 times and no greater wind drops
That's pretty much my plan too. I started by grabbing two of the Greater Summoning Orbs this morning. I'm stuck trying to decide whether my purchases afterward should work towards making Protectga or one of the Breakdowns.
I started running Moblitz only once or twice a day (instead of devoting full bars of stamina) and I found it to be way less frustrating. If an orb dropped, I'd run it again. If an orb didn't drop, I'd do literally anything else. One day I got two orb drops in a row and felt hella lucky, but when nothing dropped on the third go it was just back to business as usual
I chuckled at the first screenshot in that article, then started groaning, and finally couldn't believe the game took itself so flippantly. Glad I never spent any time with ATB.
Dayum. If they give me some VIII loving shots I'm sold.goddamn, that Final Fantasy Brave Exvius game's sprites...
Really cool aesthetic! Though it definitely doesn't hook onto the nostalgia part of my brain like FFRK does.
Oh god
Oh god oh god oh god I'm going to have to retreat a million times again aren't I?

It's not as easy to exploit the system in the next event.

The pre-set enemy patterns aren't as easy to identify. The best and worst paths start with the same enemy for example.
A blessing in disguise

Does it go far before you can identify which one you're on?

You can see the routes here.
But an important note is that unlike the Celes event, once you start a route, you won't get the memories/tokens/whatever in this event unless you finish the entire round. So the term "Survival Event" makes a lot more sense this time around.
I think this event is pretty great, I'll keep at it until it's gone. I'm just replaying hard normally and my B characters are getting decent XP while I'm getting good orb drops and a reasonable amount of magicite for the rewards. Totally beats retrying crap elsewhere until I waste all of my stamina with nothing to show for it.

I'm worried I'm going to get behind on dungeons so I'm probably going to run this until i have all the 3* and 4* summon orbs, as well as the major / greater growth eggs (which i plan to hold on to for Vanille), then go back to clearing elites
Wow, looking at some numbers off videos on YouTube, I'm not sure consistently farming Heroic Vanille event is even possible without some Wazzy-level XIII gacha luck, or savescumming each stage till you're blue in the face, or blowing 1 Mythril per run to refresh charges.
45 runs of Hard at 52 stam each seems doable within the event's time period though, IF you don't mind overlapping into Locke event a bit.
We'll see D:

I haven't watched any videos, but the description i saw on reddit made it seem not to bad, especially if you have lots of water spells
Which, conveniently enough, you get from doing Lenna event nonstop (fire/ice orbs)
HMMMMMM :|
But no, even if you have 8 shots of each, that means you're limited to one cast per round.
I guess retaliate meta might carry, but again that does go back to a lot of savescumming to save HP each round.
Which means we'll have to stop farming the Lenna event at some point.
I have all the water spells. Bring 'em on!
Lenna's event didn't seem very rewarding, so I'm gonna pick up a few things, and maybe the summon and major orbs then move on
I really wish they released Lenna's before Rinoa's now unless they push Vanille's event for later after Lenna expires
Let's see how DeNA rolls things out, but overall I am enjoying the game (being super lucky with gatcha so far)

complaining about rng on neogaf really works!

I picked up all the 3* summon orbs and 2 4*s. Thinking about skipping the rest and grabbing all the grow eggs. 1 major, 2 greaters, and a bunch of regulars should be able to get Vanille and Snow pretty close to 50, and having 2 RS characters at high level should really help with the elite Vanille event.
According to this site
The rewards for the event seem pretty good though, especially the free Thundaga.
Shame that it doesn't seem to drop any XIII equipment though.
