wind needs some weakness

I'm still playing FFRK, but mainly because I've played it since day 1. Like an MMO, it's hard to let go after so much investment. The 30 stam daily dungeons is really nice because I can spend all my stam really quickly and forget it about it for 8 hours.
Brave Exvius almost grabbed me (I love the sprites in that game), but thankfully there was a lot of warning from Brave Frontier players about the really low 5* rates from that company. I'm trying to maintain playing a maximum of two mobile gacha games. Not that I spend much money on these games, but that it's incredibly time consuming.
Granblue, funnily enough, has almost replaced FFXIV for me. I only log in for raiding now...

Yeah, I've pretty much stopped playing FFRK too. Only logging in daily for the free mythril. I just can't juggle two gacha games at once, and Granblue already takes up a lot of my time. Really like this game
Just started playing Tales of Asteria to try and get to level 30 before the collab event begins. Thank god there's an auto button because I have no idea what I'm doing.

During the IM@S collab you could get an event summon called "Brynhildr" (Ranko Kanzaki). Using her call X times gives you a "Ranko Kanzaki" copy. This summon is basically an omega summon for Unknown weapons.

But you'll still log in for free draws.
Yeah, same
I still play FFRK and finish events but my stamina remains untouched most of the time. Sometimes I need to force myself to turn the game on lol. Mastered the Kuja U+ fight literally two minutes before the event ended, still haven't started the second page of the FF7 event, not really motivated to buy these accessories... I still like the game a lot, especially the combat system but I'm just enjoying GBF much more. I think the reason (or part of it) is that there's a bigger sense of progression outside the gacha aspect in Granblue. It's still RNG based but there's a chance you can make your team stronger every time you turn on the game. And there's so much to do, you're not limited to just one thing as is the case with FFRK most of the time.
And the funny thing is that I'm a completionist and I missed out on so much in Granblue, plus it's so much harder to catch up than FFRK, but I don't mind one bit.

I've reached the point where i've run out of easy crystals to get.
All thats left are some grandblueschannel quests that are a bit too strong for me, ExtraCoop and the R/SR/Race only quests.
Time to save up for legendfests forever.

wait. you get free draws for just logging into imas?
FFRK is at least a year out from becoming anywhere complicated - record dive for example is just a second set of collectibles and stat growth, of which GBF has like 5-6 different systems, with their own loot, etc. already.
It's just how gacha games roll, really - you keep adding wheels as time goes by to keep the interest there. PAD is one of the only other games that's lasted beyond two years and it's kinda absurd to get into now even if the mechanics are rather simplistic at its core.
What likely sets Granblue apart honestly are the systems that encourage people to use things outside of the game - guild mechanics (which are still in their infancy with Grand Order raid for example) to scouring twitter for Omega raids, etc. There's a sense of immediacy and urgency on top of the usual limited event period framework that keeps retention high.
There's also the option to Surprise Ticket your way into a good team, which alleviates bad streaks. Even if it's not an option for everyone, and Cygames might lose out on some of the really, really high end whaling, it creates a much larger userbase capable of getting to endgame, and thus again retention.

One of the games in the whole cross promotion thing is idolmaster.
Ohhhhh right. I've seen that summon around.
You can still get her if you use Brynhildr as your friend summon 40 times. It takes a lot more to MLB her, not sure how much.

666 times of course

yeah, most important is to set yourself a minimum limit so you don't go bust in unlucky streaks
is it unlimited tickets or is it that get to lvl 40 thing?
You have to redeem all of them then it starts over.
Oooh, we'll that's good to know

When does more stuff appear in casino? Much of it is stuff I have no interest to get beyond animas and elixirs/berries.
Ive gone from a measly 2000 coins in casion this week to now half a million just from poker. Screw slots, never touching that again.

1) yes.
2) yes and no. When they implement the account linking feature, it will be done automatically. Just make sure to have them both in your phone.

"Sorry, winning at Bingo is only meant for
GODS, not for worms like you"

Does this step still exist when creating accounts? I can't for the life of me find anywhere to enter serial numbers. The only banner that is Japanese is the Tales of Vesperia one.

When set to english --
Click on the 'News' bubble at the top frame, then scroll down until you see the "Enter serial codes here to get loot" banner.

Is the weapon from the Ifrit event any good? It has damage skills on it, but the damage cap seems really low for an SSR.

It's bad. Good fodder but that's it.
