No the second one where it says "free" instead of "3000 moba coins". :/
That's the one, aside from the tutorial pulls. They're both fixed. There are no free ten rolls in a current new account that will get you an SSR now that the celebratory daily free pulls are over.

Use your two tickets. Those are your only two chances.

That's the rigged one.

There's a "pull" during the tutorial where you get that one dude and I think a couple weapons. That's not the free pull. That's a set pull and gives you the same archer dude.

The free pull you get after that, with the crossed out 3000, is rigged to give you a random SR, and that's it.

The only non-rigged pulls you get at the moment are two tickets, which are explained in the tutorial and on the previous page. Two singular pulls, not one 10 pull. I was confused on this as well when I started.

Oh!
Thank you for clarifying! :)

Okay, could use some assistance from people in the know -- I run this game on my mobile, but I need to move it to a different phone. I never set up an email address in the beginning, and I have 0 idea how to do it now. I have one ingame inbox that says "Register with Mobage to change your nickname" but this brings me to a Japanese website, and I don't know where to go beyond that.

Any thoughts? I can post a screenshot if that helps, but I'm hoping there's still a JPN->English guide out there to register an email address if you didn't in the beginning so I can switch devices, or play on my laptop

So I've been rerolling for the past hour or so but now it just throws me something about a "request parameter error" whenever I put in any new e-mail... logging in one of my random accounts worked just fine but I can't register any new accounts for some reason

I tried clearing my cookies (even tho I was in Incognito mode all the time anyways) and even resetting my laptop cause why not, did I just hit up some kind of limit or is it just acting up?

I think I'm going to start a new account to replay the tutorial in English. I have no idea how to play the game.

BTW, is there a setting somewhere to stop those annoying emails?

I was always curious about this but playing purely in Japanese was maddening; I ended up not trying to reroll much, but my blade attitude must have paid off: on the final time I decided to just proceed with whatever I got with my two free gatcha tickets, I got an SSR (Narumeia?) as a karmic reward.

This is pretty fantastic so far - the translation has much more personality than I was ever hoping for, and the art is gorgeous. It's a cakewalk so far (only in chapter 3) but I just did a first small Griffin raid on my own and it was really engaging. Loving it on iPad.

You hit a limit. They've implemented it to prevent rerolling. Once they've detected that your ip has created a certain amount of accounts (I think I got the error around ten accounts in), your ip will be prevented from creating any more accounts. I'm not sure how long this lasts.

Account creation doesn't sound very hard.

I don't want to reroll at all. Will I still be able to progress, realistically?

If u set up in Chrome on my PC, can I login through Chrome on my phone later and play there? I'm on iOS, so I just have the Chrome browser app for that.

Would also like to know this stuff.

I started on my phone, but I'd like to play on my laptop as well. How would I go about that? I got the Mobage account, so I'm set, I think.

I got some more time in, seems cool. I need to play tomorrow to unlock the last part of the bulletin board thing with carbuncle on it.

Do I absolutely need to tie an email to this to prevent it from being wiped at some point? Or will playing daily suffice,.

Ahh I see, kind of lame but I can live with not having a SSR right away. Thank you!

The main story really eats through the AP quick. I want to at least unlock casino today plus the more hard magnas I open up, the more points I can get each week.

Is it considered bad form to auto attack when leeching on a luminara magna? I want to make sure I get the bonus points but she'll pop shield once I attack


Ahh I see, kind of lame but I can live with not having a SSR right away. Thank you!

A lot of us have extra accounts we rolled during the 10million celebration if you're not looking for anyone specific. I don't have as many as some other people but I have 4 or 5 decent ones

How's performance on iPad? It seems to lag a lot on my android phone.

I just thought I'd say that normally, as someone who's generally hated mobile games, I'm glad this has lived up to my hype. I truly can't wait to see what Cygames has planned for the PS4! :D

I can't believe I'm even considering spending close to $30 on a mobile game but I'm really enjoying Granblue an I have $20 in Google credits saved up from surveys. Any suggestions on a good start dash? I started during Rosetta's legfest to my recollection.

My SSRs:

Wind: Rosetta, lennah, Metera
Water: Lancelot
Light: Ferri
Earth: Cagliostro
Fire: yuel

Wind best weapon pool. Water second best. But I have good light, dark, fire and earth summons.

I think my start dash is coming back pretty soon. Might jump on it.

After a lot of jumping through hoops and figuring out hiragana I got an account set up with the app (didn't realize you could just run it through chrome lol). Played through the tutorial, but didn't get anything too good it seemed. Would be interested in a beginners account when possible. Would probably be the best way to do things since one of them comes with something useful.

It's great on the most recent iPad. I have an LG Vista as well, and the iPad is noticeably faster to load and respond to taps. I'm also playing Final Fantasy Record Keeper and the Android version is a complete shitshow on Android, at least in my experience.

Only weirdness is that it doesn't fit well on one screen on iPad or Android (might just be the game in general). I find it especially frustrating on the PC Chrome browser to find a zoom level that works; the iPad is far and away the best interface for me, at least in my few 90 minutes of play.

And for people asking, it's all Chrome browser based so you can easily hop between any devices. I've alternated between Android phone, iPad and my PC at various states this morning while loafing around the house!

Gonna start this later. What's better on phone/tablet, the app or just playing through the mobile chrome app?

Well, the game prompted me to make an account at one point, and since I have Chrome on my phone, it translated the page into English.

Bugger! I really hope I don't have to start over on my other phone... one's an older one for testing/games I dont care much about and only has WiFi, the other is my main phone. I set it up there because back then GBF wasn't going english anytime soon, but then BAM, english. Now I just need to swap accounts... somehow...

Got the app on Chrome all right, but can't seem to log in. Type in my ID and password, click login, and the cursor just goes back to my ID, with nothing happening.

By ID you mean your email, right? To be honest I haven't come across this problem, and I play the game using either my desktop and my tablet. Have you tried opening the game using incognito mode, just to make sure there isn't any cookie-related problem (although it shouldn't be cookie-related)?

What would you say performance is like on 5S best-case? How much extra bits do you need to shut off?

It was pretty laggy at the default settings. I took it all the way down to minimum settings for the smoothest experience.

That is all on LTE though, I have yet to try it on Wifi. I'd imagine a lot of the problems I was having had to do with bandwidth and not processing, so it could be totally fine on max settings if you have a good connection.

Ohhhh, it wanted my email. That makes sense. Working now!

So, I'm back home for the day, time to let new people know how to get a pretty decent account from me.

Look through this list of accounts and find one you like. If the account doesn't have a "Yes" in the "Taken" column, it's available.

Send me a PM with the account number (1st column) and an email address. The change email option only allows certain email domains, so basically, the email must end in "gmail.com", "icloud.com", or "me.com". There are about a dozen other choices, but they all end in ".jp".

The transfer process will go like this:

1. Send me the account number and email.
2. I'll acknowledge it, and you'll get a confirmation link in an email.
3. You'll send me that link.
4. I'll use the link to confirm the email change, then send you the password.
5. You log in (and probably change the password).

Edit: To change your password:

On the News page, scroll to the bottom and click the icon with the house.

Click the magnifying glass, then click the options icon.

The second option in the list is the change password option.

Edit: Account giving is over.

I am kind of confused... how do I play this? Is the English version available?

There is no English "release". The current existing game added a language setting to change virtually all the text to English. You'd need to follow the starter guide in the OP to start rolling for a good starter and change the language setting to English.

from what i understood: i can feed all of my r and n weapons to my ssr weapons right? "Leaderskills" are the "boost skills" in this game?

So, no SSR (damnit), but I'll play with what I'm given. I changed to Knight, but I'm leaning toward Lancer now. Good move, or no? I have 150 CP.

I feel like I made a mistake. >_> I think I'll be doing this for quite a while today lol.

You're doing the Lord's work.

Go for dark lancer first. Then experiment. You'll want the power of dark lancer to tackle some of the midgame content and CP becomes pretty scarce later. I'm currently struggling to save the 500 needed for my third tier 3 class - sidewinder.

Play whatever you want. You'll want to master every job you can for the passive bonuses to your main character.

That said, you'll want to work towards dark fencer, as it gives you an insane amount of disabling power to help you mid game and to fill the disabler gap in most parties early on. After that work on Sidewinder for Arrow Rain 3, which should set you up for an easier mid game.

It's best to level up the class to 20 before switching as you get perks you can use from one class to another, and you won't be wasting Job Points. Not familiar with those two, but it's highly recommended to get the jobs for Dark Fencer as it's the best class for soloing later.
