they could put in every loving one of the 101 dalmations as base 5* and it will literally not impact the game in any way for me

my friends list is another story, where i will get to sample all of these new 5* such as benedict cumberbatch and axl rose

Maybe she wont be gacha and instead be a prize in an event like Yshtola and Minfilia ahahahaha yeah thats going to happen.

But seriously if we dont get the FFXIV event and Ariana is a healer/buffer then she would be a great substitute for not get either of the ffxiv units.

I mean, I'm never going to pull a base 5* anyway so being completely apathetic about the whole situation is probably a plus.

I feel like she's probably going to free.

If she ends ends up being a 5* gatcha then this whole PR stunt is going to be a huge self own when the news story are about the general public finding that you can pay literally literally hundreds of dollars and still not get her.

Trying to decide what to do with some of the "friend" summons. None of them seem to be worth a poo poo, so I guess I could dump them into CoD or the 2 Exdeaths I've got...I don't think I'd get that much gil from them.

Anyway, most of the friend summons are mostly worthless, there's a couple of TMs you should go for like Rizer's and the -killers, please do it TM grind friend units, smoosh them only.

Seriously, can you imagine if they started putting in non-Square Enix properties like Brave Frontier into this game?

Or what if they did something lovely like make a hugely powerful unit based on a new game they're releasing, like if they were to make a Noctis unit for FFXV?

God, I hope they never do something like that, it would ruin the purity of this gacha game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_HD_2.8_Final_Chapter_Prologue

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue includes a high-definition remaster of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, as well as two new pieces of content to the Kingdom Hearts series. The first, Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, is a cinematic based on Kingdom Hearts χ that details events not shown in the original game. The other, Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage, is an all-new game that takes place after the events of Birth by Sleep from the perspective of Aqua. Back Cover and A Fragmentary Passage will be the ninth and tenth installments in the Kingdom Hearts series.

She can obviously afford it. I'm more thinking how amusing it would be for her followers watching her spend a dozen rolls until she gets her own character in the game. Then the series of complaints as her followers sign up and try to roll her character, also paying hundreds in the process. God willing it would shine a giant spotlight on the worst aspect of the game and *maybe* force Gumi to implement that base change quicker.

Wake up, she's not playing the game. This is a PR stunt you nerd.

Ariana Grande being a Final Fantasy fan would still be less surprising to most people than the fact that Vin Diesel is a colossal nerd who loves playing Dungeons and Dragons.

I'd honestly be surprised if Gumi and SE haven't discussed the viability of a Kingdom Hearts collab for FFBE (or BF). At least for Japan anyways, since rights are easier to deal with there, hence mobile games having a billion collabs in Japan and then, like, 3 in their global versions.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
Also it's not like her character is going to be called "Ariana Grande" so you don't have to worry about your immersive game experience. She refers to the character as DW on her instagram, which probably means "Dangerous Woman" like the title of her album. The sprite looks like it fits in the game too.

Like I don't get how having an Ariana Grande inspired in the game is worse for your experience than the fact that we're fighting a giant snowman with a snowglobe for a tummy right now. Or that we have a character sponsored by Cup Noodles.
