I guess they don't really have the rights to make Valentine's Crossdressing Cloud or Valentine's Terra etc... characters, presumable because everything comes up top from SE and they only let them mess around with OCs for Global events.

Speaking of rabites, they seem like the most plentiful bonus enemy so far? Their rates feel a lot more consistent than Doublicorn and Gigantuar.

Cupid Luna has Chainsaw so that's something. Unfortunately it's not nearly as easy gearing her up for matching elements compared to Edgar.

Hi. I'm a Chelsea fan since 2010. Please murder me with a piece of pipe. thanks.
I haven't seen rabites since the first day of the event, which sucks because my initial impression was that they were more common but you don't know if 1 or 6 will spawn.

edit: just got a 6 rabite spawn, so maybe if I bitch about it more, they will spawn more? please don't ban me

I'm getting a few rabites a day. When you get a cluster of 5, it makes that 50k axe attainable.

I decided that since I pulled all the gigantaurs, several characters awakening mats, and 2 of the 3 plots of summon tickets that I would stop buying and see how much I could collect by the offering's end. Maybe I will end up with the axe for funsies.

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
I'm sitting on about 53k after getting all the tickets so yeah it's Def doable. Still stuck debating whether I want the axe or the trust moogle since I don't have a Mercedes and I can't tm grind. Decisions decisions

Even if you don't have a dedicated axe user, it's an axe better than murasame. It can also contribute to making a TM-less firion amazing, if absolutely nothing else. Get it just in case.

But who would you even use that axe on? Even the units that want axes don't give any bonuses, i.e. Gilgamesh can use it, but it's actively worse than a weaker katana like Masamune due to the bonus from katanas.
Can anyone provide a real use case for the axe? I'd farm it if I could think of a reason to do so.
Edit: Ah, you could use Mercedes as your top dps? I guess?
Edit2: Oh, for the spr bonus on Cecil. Eh...

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
6* Level 1 Mercedes with the Axe, two hyper wrists, 4 atk+10% materias and a green beret is already breaking 300 attack, so that's giving me hope for leveling her up. I missed every event weapon before and including the Chirijiraden and I can't macro, so stuff like this is exciting for me.

Because I took a huge dump on it last week and now that I have a bonus unit and often a bonus companion, it actually seems attainable...

Really I just wouldn't mind it on any DPS that could use it. I think my Bartz and Firion can, and I'm still early in the game I can't take full advantage... I do have a Mercedes almost ready to awaken for the last time.

Here's a good interview with the developers about the difference between global and Japan.

http://ffbe.kongbakpao.com/taiwans-bahamut-interview-with-producers-translation/

quote:

GNN – Regarding the 5*based Gacha system, will we be getting it on Global? Additionally the 5* rate in Japan is currently at 1%, is this the same on Global? Lastly, will we be able to see the Summon Rates in future?

H – The reason for not changing the system now is to give Players a more enjoyable experience. Currently, the 5* based unit pool is still small thus removing the other units will cause the Rainbow pull/pool to be lacking. We will need to wait for “the right time” to implement the new system. Additionally, the rates from Japan might not be the same for Global as there many different country’s law to consider.

If only players that mattered cared enough to mount a significant backlash to the game. Until they start seeing people spending less money on the game I don't think we'll see those changes.

You know, the kind of folks who will spend 400 hours grinding out 100% completion on a game you can beat in 20?

hmm yes i agree, the 5* pool is too small and we'd exhaust all of the base 5* too easily if the gacha changes were brought here too soon.

Since 5*s became a thing I've been trolled with 4 rainbows, Gaffgarion, Charlotte, Chizuru. most recently loving Rosa, and gotten lucky with Lightning.

Even the supposed 50% of getting the banner rainbow is bullshit from where I'm sitting. I should have had 2 Noctis, or a Yun or an Ace. And my Lightning came on Luneth's banner.

Listening to the developers spout their bullshit is just disgusting.

Don't forget tonight is the last night to throw tickets at the Lunar banner, you have till server reset at 3AM EST. One of the better banners we've seen in a while.

Though if you read that developer interview, uninstalling the app might be a better use of your time...

Self-quoting, I know, but I did actually post in response to the article.

It is HARD to fit a comment in 40 characters, especially when you use the first part to quote the dev. I quoted (I think, I hope) his line about 'improving play experience' if anyone wants to copy/paste or tell me I quoted the wrong part of the phrase and give me something properly in Chinese to post. :P

In other words, Japan has laws that limit the amount you can gently caress your users but the rest of the world doesn't. They seem to make plenty off of Brave Frontier so the odds of them changing their methods is near zero. Though Brave Frontier also has the stacking rate-ups for banner characters.
