That FFRK sub-reddit has a lot of useful info on events and dungeons and stuff, but holy smokes there are people on there spending insane amounts of money on this game. Like, multiple people spending $100+ chasing Firion's BSB. Some dude said he whaled twelve times on this one banner. I'm not even doing dollar pulls until I know this game isn't about to disappear in a cloud of smoke in a couple weeks. I can't even imagine spending almost $400.

This game is most likely not disappearing in a puff of smoke btw. The release is specifically talking about DeNA NA's original games, they mention that they're going to shift focus to collabs (ie Record Keeper). Support also said the game isn't going anywhere, but that doesn't mean much considering support would say that if the servers were shutting down in two weeks and they knew it.

Hogama posted:Last II event was in the middle of a fest banner that took my mythril, so let's toss some at this to see if I can beef up my II synergy. Now your problem is whether to make a 8* Sun Blade for any future content involving Firion and/or Knights, or spread the II synergy around. Honestly you've pretty much got a 8* Excalibur now. Next week (Larsa) will be my last pull for about a month before Onion Knight, hopefully. The dungeon update (and likely lucky draw) next month is XI-V-VIII, which I'll probably pass on; XI synergy is basically one character at the moment, my V synergy is passable, and while it would be nice to draw Selphie's BSB or Zell's SSB2, I'm already stacked with VIII relics and will be pulling on Squall/Rinoa anyway.

Attestant posted:Well poo poo, now DeNA tells me that while they took away the 9500 gems, they can't actually refund the money. Now I have to fight with Google support, and apparently I'll get a reply in 24-72 hours. Ok. So now I got a message from Google, that they cannot refund this, and that I should contact the app developers instead. So DeNA took away my gems because I wanted a refund, and told me to contact Google. Google does nothing, and tells me to contact DeNA. So now I'm $100 short AND the 9500 gems have been removed from my account to boot. Welp, more emails to DeNA support then.

DeNA asked me to contact them again if Google doesn't come through, which I did. So waiting to see what their response is now. If everything else fails, I'll consider issuing a chargeback, since now I'm out of the purchased "product" as well PhysicsFrenzy posted:Jesus christ. Is there an active number you can call? Maybe the local Google offices? Dunno if DeNA global has a phone presence? There's a minor issue that I live in the nordic europe, so neither company is exactly local to me...

Huh, now that I'm actually see them I might not pull on either of the JP VI banners, regardless of if the World of Final Fantasy banners are good. I mean, I'd love to get Celes' OSB or BSB but pretty much everything else on her banner is crazy meh, and pulling her Runic sword would be a straight up insult. Oh well, I'm all for making my decisions easier.

Nihilarian posted:Can you use Summon Magic against Kaiser Dragon? Summon and White are fine, yeah. Just no ninja or physical attacks. Although I'm actually curious if it would counter a physical SB, bringing Beatrix for Shell/heals and using her magic blink SSB would probably save some hassle if those physical hits aren't countered.

So if I'm in the market for a little bit of II synergy (and have 500+ spare mythril anyway) which is the better banner to be pulling on? I've already got a really old axe for Firion and Leon's Hand of the Emperor as my only II gear.

Firion's BSB would really work well with my team (Beatrix BSB, Cecil SSB, etc) but I'm not interested in anything else on the banner, especially not the BSB Axe. Chasing a single relic is madness, right?

I've already got a really old axe for Firion and Leon's Hand of the Emperor as my only II gear. The top prizes are basically Firion and Maria's BSBs, so I guess decide if you want to chase a good physical BSB or a pretty top-tier mage BSB.

On that note, if those are all you're interested in chasing, it might be better to wait for OSB Fest. Yes, banners change between JP and Global, but they don't tend to remove big ticket items that people would be willing to chase after. They'll shuffle items between banners and specifically target god banners to break them up so people don't save up for one specific no-doy banner (RIP JP SSBFest banner 4, too beautiful for our gaijin shores) but Sun Blade and Artemis Bow II are highly desirable items that people will spend for. I know that's what I'm doing, I may only have Lord of Arms for Firion and Hand of the Emperor for Leon but I'm not desperate to fix my synergy right here and now so I'd rather wait for the side prizes on these two items to be more appealing.

I have a feeling that these Cids Missions for U++ are going to be kicking my rear end for the foreseeable future. U+'s I could do with relative consistency but these U++ are nutso and require some ridiculous synergy and/or luck.

From now on it's all U+. I'll still be attempting the U++ in CM mode though, just to spice things up.

Go with one of the "significantly boosts fist damage" RMs, Sphere him up to Celerity 5*, and Chaincharge to your heart's content.

I can't make heads or tails of this Nightmare boss. I tried going in and just beating it up cause I have the heals and mitigation but the thing is rock solid defensively. I don't want to hone up ninja magics so I'm gonna have to do it the regular way but I look in this fight and not even sure what's going on or what I'm supposed to do. It doesn't make any sense to me. Reading some guides talking about changing the targets or what have you. Guess I'll have to watch a video or something. What I mean is I don't wanna even do it it looks stupid.

The cannon targets you and does damage equal to its health (starts at 9999). But if the targeted character performs an action on another character (healing, attacking, whatever) it changes the target lock to that character. So the idea is to wait until the cannon is just about to fire and have the targetted character Diaga the launchers or guardian so that it damages itself. The trick seems to be that you have to kill one of the launchers yourself the first time, otherwise it's ATB lines up so that it'll end up passing the "potato" back to you a fraction of a second before the cannon fires.

You can brute force the fight with attacking white magic BSBs (notably Selphie and Minwu's which is coming on the next FF2 banner) and defense-ignoring stuff like ninja magic if you don't want to deal with the gimmick; just be prepared to heal a LOT in counter damage. iirc the way to play hot potato was to, on speed 1, count five seconds from the targeting and then start casting. e: Dang, up to 209 mythril. I'm gonna 11 pull on Guy 2, but I think I'm in a good place re: my mythril budget! Panic! at Nabisco fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Oct 22, 2016 |

Debuff LD coming! Turns out I already have 9 of the items on it. It has a surprising amount of duds (Cyclone Grimoire, Barret's Gunarms, Vanille's Binding Rod, Wakka's Official Ball to single some out) mixed in with a few good ones (Vaan and Faris's BSBs, Agrias' Kaiser Shield and the other ATK/MAG Breakdowns ect.). Depending on your relics it might not be worth pulling.

I have one of the two Bursts on debuff lucky, and the mathed out numbers on the banner overall are so bad that I can't see myself bothering due to that. It's a terrible thing when the draw quality is questionable enough relative to other banners that it may not be worth it half-price. It's fine if you don't have either Burst and don't have a double offense break though. Oh uh I guess I beat Ultima Buster today too. Turns out he doesn't like Vivi's BSB. Like, really, really, really does not like it. Who knew. SageAcrin fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Oct 22, 2016 |

The second gift got me past the 500 mythril barrier! I'm probably gonna skip the debuff lucky draw, since there's a lot of old and not particularly good stuff in the pool, and I already know I'm pulling on banners that have Orichalcum Dirk and Riot Blade in the very near future so I already have a significant chance at getting two of the few actually good relics in the set. Less than a week left until Larsa hits...
