Decided to finally give in after seeing that yet another (:japan:non-JP:japan:)pop star has invaded my final fantasy. Why won't SQEX keep my games free and pure of western influence and blahblah
I listed it in the FFBE Google Doc, but I'm Chocobro @ 053-289-113

Quick question though, I've got a Yun-Xiao-Ling account and a Ramza-Ace-Seven account. Which is more "future" proof and worth investing time in?

Been very lucky, pulled half-price Ace on Friday, free pull Greg#2 on Saturday and Yun on Sunday. I think i'm either going to purchase a lottery ticket or never play the lottery again.

Ugh, all you Yun have are making me so jealous. Not only do I want him because he seems cool and useful, but his TMR is the one single piece I'm missing from the ultimate Firion build.

It's worth noting, though, that Global Exclusive units are big fat question marks as to what enhancements could do. They could just be dipshits and not release any enhancements for any of them, or they could make the likes of Yun and Noel and Elza just as god-tier. :shrug: Nobody knows.

To get the Phoenix down mission in the quickest way possible, target your own party member and attack. To self target, you have to press and hold your finger on the actual unit in the upper field of battle, then you'll see the option.

Also,
Don't forget the chests respawn each day, there's a rare summon ticket in the upper left chest.

Finished up my first dual wield this morning, should have 2x dualcasts, an Excalibur, and a Sakurafubuki finished this week. I don't have a Chiz yet, but I do have a Hayate and 2 Gafgarrions. I'm not sure what to put in the other spots. I was thinking maybe Noctis and DFina? I don't have a Ramza either.

All sensitivity has long ago atrophied
With a muscle belt and a truckload of SPR Lenna still gets knocked down to 450 health after turn 1, with barthundara and barfira up, plus cheer and no more shiva/siren equipped (carbuncle currently). May give it one last go with her attached to Ramuh or Ifrit. I have a feeling whoever is swapped is going to end up in the same boat, but not certain why. Considering giving her the Survival Edge, but I am not seeing dramatic changes and I'm sacrificing something like +38SPR...

I'm also noticing, to get these knuckles my limit generation has been very slow. Often only Rain has enough to complete the task but everyone is hacked down entirely before being able to use it. All of my Lightning companions have gone to Noctis, which the damage is nice, but I need more of those limit ruby drops.

Charlotte is doing great for the average situation, but a bit weak in the damage realm so I am considering a backup for those situations. I don't have a Cecil, but I can take Amarant (eh), Galuf (not certain about), and Leo.

Also I need some more standard physical damage along side CoD, so on hand I am looking at Firion, Mercedez, or Xiao.

I think I have magic in the bag with 1 maxed Exdeath, 2 Exdeaths cooking, bondage bunny almost maxed, Tellah and Shanotto waiting in the wings and Arc also nearing completion.

Pulled a Kefka this morning on the freebie so not everything is sucking terribly.

New Eileen in JP broke 1500 I think. Maybe a little less.

Edit: Yun in Global can hit 932 with 2x Kaiser Knuckles, Black Cowl, his TM clothes, 2x Champion's Belt, Dual-Wield, Power of Creation, & 2x Lunge Combos.

Noctis+blood sword OP. Too bad I don't think it would help anyone having trouble with the event since if anyone on the team dies he will start using bloodlust to boost his attack and magic. The boosted attack and magic would out damage the ability to heal with drainer and keep up debuffs.

Kill everyone other than Noctis in a random encounter before the boss, or does the Nian Beast still buff itself if there are corpses when the fight starts?

It's the single battle one not the exploration. Still though I'm pretty sure that he uses blood lust every turn when someone is dead. Tried dispelling it once when messing around and he just recast it every turn. Not sure if he stops using blood lust when everyone is revived but I assume so.

It would appear that Ling's MP total is bugged, and she's receiving +60% MP passively instead of the stated +20% MP. The reddit thread on the matter has a guy whose Ling, naked of all equipment, materia, and Esper, has 435 MP, which would coincide exactly with a fully stat potted Ling with +60% to MP. My own Ling's MP seems to bear this out, as it's similarly inflated.

Current theory is that Trained Assassin is giving +40% MP instead of crit, since that's an obvious culprit.

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
Dropped 4 tickets hoping to get super lucky and get a ling since she looks like a drat fine support unit. Pulled 2 gold crystals in a row. kryle and then Leo. Decided on one more and got another gold crystal and finally got her. I've never ever ever pulled back to back to back gold crystals. Almost tempted to dip heavily into my ticket stash to see if I can get me a chocobro but that's prob pushing my luck and I don't have a whole lot of tickets anyway so I think I'll just be happy with what I got.

Ling seems like a pretty decent support unit though yeah? Looking through her abilities I think she would be a pretty good permanent addition to the team, just not sure who to knock off. Currently running noctis Refia exdeath chiz and either cod Cecil or a 2nd exdeath. Thinking I'll drop one of those dudes, at least until WoL gets his 6 star upgrade and run with noctis chiz ex Refia and her. Any thoughts?
