I can't wait until this opens the door for them to charge 10 grand (more?) to make yourself into a character in the game, and then just wait for them to drop another few thousand trying and failing to pull themselves.

When I first heard the news, my reaction was "Huh, that's kind of weird, whatever."

Then I found out there was a petition against it and people were angry that it would ruin the purity of the ultimate fantasy saga, so now I think it's the best thing ever and I want more of it.

Yea, I thought it was weird mostly because I wasn't expecting such an inclusion.

My issue is that I don't like her, as an artist or a person. I figure Sqeenix went with her because she's a cheap celeb. And also affordable.

But ultimatly, if I somehow manage to get her instead of my umpteenth Krille or Charlotte, and she's a good unit, I'll use her. If not, she'll collect dust with the other units I don't use. It's gonna take something far dumber than adding her to get me to quit this game. I'll probably never quit... I'm too addicted... :negative:

I love this and it sort of proves that SE/Gumi were actually right about picking Grande for this because your typical late 20s early 30s video game neckbeard has never heard of her while the tween/teenager demographic that knows who she is probably never played a FF before.

The only negative thing I can find about Ariana Grande is that she licked a donut and said she hates America. She later said she was talking about obesity in America, that she was proud to be an American, and made an apology video about the whole thing.

Other than that I can't see a single thing that would make someone dislike Ariana Grande unless they dislike LGBT people, dogs, the homeless, helping people with AIDS/HIV, or people criticizing misogyny.

She's young enough to have played video games without the social stigma Goons in their 30's and 40's will never truly recover from.

I don't hear anything about obesity there. This was after she licked a bunch of the doughnuts that were sitting on the shelf too. She is a dumb oval office and wish they would have picked pretty much anyone else.

Also, I'm sure I'll pull 12 of her since I can't stand her.

2 growth eggs means I can get a 6* unit from 1 to 100 in 15 runs, so 150 energy. About 20-30 minutes per run depending on my attentiveness. It owns. Technically 16.6 runs but I usually use some cactaurs or friend units to fill in the last 2 levels of EXP.

And especially since I'm leveling a Santa roselia, a healing LB with cure status effects, don't have to worry about poison.

I'm pretty sure every American teenager who isn't a Young Republican gets some 'gently caress the world/establishment/country' ideas, but most don't have a camera pointed at them 24-7
