Dear OP, Since the Goondoc is outdated as gently caress, maybe we should delete it and let the active players reenter their info? Its functionally useless as it stands.

That seems like a bit of work for everyone to have to reenter their info on a new doc, so how about I just edit the current one to have a CURRENT AS OF 12/19/2016 and OLDER THAN 12/19/2016 section.

Everyone who's current can just C+P their info into the current section, which will be the top of the list. Then we can repeat this process again in 6 months.

Acceptable?

Honestly, It might be better if you create a new sheet, and label the sheets by date. Then just create a new sheet every 6 months.That way people can still copy and paste but its not as cluttered.

I think most new players are better off served just coming into the thread and posting their friend code. Most of us are filled up on friends by this point and any new guy is going to have to beg us to make room for him anyway. Sounds like tedium having newbies constantly asking to be added, but this game isn't really attracting new players by the dozens and any newbies should be posting in the chat for advice anyway. If you want to make a new list Hardbody, go for it. I have no attachment to the old list, it wasn't ever "mine".

I just remembered trying to add people as someone who joined the thread only after it was remade. The list was like a 100 people long and half of them were kefka and Locke leads that havent been meta in months. Sorry if I came off as bitchy, I just figured cleansing and remaking it would help people out in the long run. If I came off as unappreciative of your efforts I apologize.

I think redoing the list is a great idea, when I was new I made the same suggestion.

Locke will never not be useful. In fact, he may be the only perpetually useful friend unit, since the only reason you take him is to boost item drops from farming runs. Every other character will eventually be power-crept out of contention.

PSA: if you quit FFBE please leave Locke as your friend unit for the rest if us to use, thanks in advance.

Locke is nowhere as useful as we once believed. Basically only upgrades the rarity of the drops in explorations or story. Its good, but not crazy good.

CORRECTION

I've reworked it so that the link in the OP is fine.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PBoE56CzVaq1L8WE4sMeBhkoEByummcaU-8qMIFfZLI/edit#gid=0


edit: I've added color coding for easy scrolling to find a specific unit.

Meta leaders units have been given unique background colors. Just type the proper name for a unit, and they'll be auto-formatted.

It'll only format to the first name it sees, so list your primary first.


e2: You don't need to do what the earlier post said about adding a line somewhere, just slap your info in again.


e3: ok i lied about the formatting to the first name it sees thing. just add less dudes and maybe list other less important ones in your notes?

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
I know this has been asked a million billion times but you don't lose the increase from pots when you awaken a guy to the next star level right? Like if I toss a couple Atk pots on my noctis that's currently 5 stars they will still have an effect when I manage to get him to 6 stars yeah?

Sorry my brain just completely shut off and I can't remember for the life of me if they carry over

Stat gains from pots do carry over awakening. Eat all pots! (unless it'll make you go over sub-max cap or something)

When should I be using full break? It is probably because I don't know when to use it but my maxed out Feris is just not being very useful. I have a Cecil who I haven't worked on yet but I am wondering if I should sub him in to my team - Cod, Elza, Faris, Refia and Exdeath. I could also sub in Mercedes, Ingus or Charlotte who are also not leveled but seem to be well regarded. Or I could sub in Kefka, who is partly leveled already if he would be a good choice. I mainly just want to either make sure I am using Faris (who doesn't seem to be pulling her weight right now) or figure out who I should replace her with.

I get the impression that this maze is so rare and good that when it pops up, we should just mindless grind it and not ask questions until it goes away.

Again a very likpatous story
I finally decided I'd give in and download memu to TM grind for me since I have so many TMs I want and will literally never get otherwise.

Sadly it seems like memu won't run on my potato of a computer. It's been stuck at 99% on the startup screen for the last five minutes, and gets stuck at 99% every time I try to start it up again. So, guess that means no macro grinding for me. I'm purely dependent on Trust Moogles and grinding manually.

I'm never going to be any good at this game. :negative:

New to the game and think about starting. Been rerolling the starting character and got a 5 rainbow star Noctis, I really don't care for this character but is this something I should keep or keep rerolling? How long into playing will I be able to get another 5star?

No. Never.

The fact to get a 5* base on your rerolling attempts IS the reason to reroll. You basically hit the jackpot and want to throw it away. Statistically you need 70000 - 90000 Lapis to get 1x Noctis. Think about it.
