After checking out the download starter, and knowing the power creep of PaD, I am tempted to limit my rolling.
It goes without saying that a Console RPG in the Terra Battle world would be very welcome. but in between that 2mil downloads and now are a bunch of characters, some of which I am sure are "SS" rank.
Power creep in FtP games is very real, so my personal goal is go as far as possible without using any more free rolls. Gotta save those rolls everyone.
music is awesome, so that free OST at 900k is pretty sweet!

Are the higher ranks really that necessary?
Maybe not, but it would drive me insane knowing that I don't have an S+. More of a personal problem, but it's not worth it to me.

Not a bad little title.
I like it.
I like it.
3 rolls total in the game so far, got SS amina, B grace (really?), and another B healer.
Guess I'll see whether I want to reroll for a caster or not. At this point I'm having no trouble going through the levels w/ 4 physical and 2 healers.
How effective are the casters that you can get for free btw? Only one I see on wikis are Mantle Dragon, if the real strength of mages is farming ability then I won't mind just keeping going on forward.

Hopefully that number of downloads grows soon. Google play store is only at 5,000 downloads.
I'd guess it's a separate counter for each country's play store. The Terra Battle Japanese twitter has over 40k followers and I doubt all of them have iPhones.

First roll was an S (Djugan) and a B. Good enough. I rerolled almost a hundred times in P&Z and I'm not going through that process again. I usually IAP anyway so if I like the game I'll roll if I have to.

Looks like it's wholyl dependent on their skill set. My SS one has a support skill that does shadow damage when she supports two attackers and does like 200+ at level 10 on the early level guys. My Apothecary just healers paralysis though, lol.
You can also just hit speed up in the tutorial to speed through the animations. Makes it quick.

On chapter two now. This game is really fun, and somewhat challenging. Probably be the only mobile game I play now.

Just saw Siliconera's coverage of the game. It's nice to see people actually giving it a shot, the game is a blast!

Once you hit chapter 3, it's imperative that you 1) use as many units as possible in attacks, and more importantly 2) funny forget that you can pincer more than two enemy units that are in line AeeeA, AeeeeA, ect...this deals massive damage.
I would say 4. It's certainly not Xcom but it's the most fun I've had with a energy/slot machine game.

Not available for my device (Galaxy Tab 3 Mini :/)
I knew nothing about this game before downloading it, and initially it seemed like a very boring strategy RPG with nothing going for it except excellent art work.
I was wrong.
As soon as I hit the first boss, the game started showing me just how engrossing the combat can be. Attacks that jumble you about, enemies that do elemental attacks with certain behaviors, interesting combo mechanics etc all play a part in making this one of those games that demands "one more turn". I watched a quick trailer just now and there seems to be mountains of content here, and it looks like it's all free.
My only wish here is that people in your party were given more personality. It would have been nice if the Tavern was a place you could interact with your roster, rather than just recruit artwork. Something like Fire Emblems relationship system would of made this game god tier

The metal zone is open for 87 minutes. Go go go!
I missed my bus earlier today, because I was so into the game that I didn't realize that the bus arrived. And I wasn't even mad, instead I was glad that this got me 10 more minutes to play. I think that's the highest praise for this kind of game.
It's a puzzle game with an RPG skin, but it's a really good one. It helps that the art and the soundtrack are really great too. I've finished Chapter 4, I didn't re-roll for better characters and so far I haven't had a situation where I felt forced to spend money.
Thanks for the heads up, already brought a couple of characters to lvl 15 and unlocked their second skill. Hopefully I'll wreck chapter 3 bosses' shit this time.

I probably should be a hater, but I'm not.
I really like this game. Granted I've not played much aka just two chapters, but so far so good. I enjoy the gameplay and I love the music. Granted who knows what I'll think when I hit the f2p wall, but so far so good.
I also think the graphics and menus are fine. I do think the character portrait icons on the battlefield seem slightly low res compared to the rest of the game though.
I'm playing on my Nexus 7.
PS: I just went with it. #NoReroll

Aw man. I was hoping I would be able to play the same account on both my Android phone and iPad.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Oh yeah the opening dream like text scroll soooo seemed like a Lost Odyssey dream sequence flash back!!
You kind of can. Just a bit troublesome and have to "transfer" everytime. I believe the info stays the same.
I just finished the third chapter. It's pretty challenging. i'm surprised to see lots of comments about unlocking special characters, while seeing people asking if it's an interesting game and not just a lot/prize fest etc..
The combat system is honestly absolutly great. I find it way more interesting than any FF combat system lol.. The simple fact that you can do awesome things by moving your character on top of others, moving them for combos. Or the fact that cure are not only a matter of "do i strike or do i play defensive" but rather a complicated dance of moving your characters in order to let them enjoy it (which can be vital!).
Actually it makes me think of tactical games like the SD Gundam series and that's god tier genre in my book.
And i play with only b grades characters at max.

Damn.
I think my first roll was an S/B. First reroll was A/B. Second was something really bad like B/B. Third was SS/A.
holy shit, the song on the site might be Uematsu's most experimental in ages. I love it!

First roll, I got an SS Froggy Ice Wizard and a B Archer as my first recruits after the tutorial, both pretty powerful at Lv 10. It's been fairly nice so far. Unlike something like WWE Supercard, there's at least a bit of stratergery at work in the standard gameplay, since you need to set up skill cascades via good positioning/movement to wipe out enemies; eventually, it looks like I could theoretically set up attack cascades if I get some push skills. Nice music so far, and the F2P mechanics don't interfere with the gameplay, as most of the time, I recover most of the spent stamina during the battle.
