do i need healing in the nightmare fight or are you not supposed to bring one along because of the green orb healing? the aoe is a bit much for tyro to single heal up and I am still lacking on solid medica options as far as current standards go

It's doable, but you'll probably need either some really impressive DPS (good BSBs or OSBs), or a source of magic blink. The last phase will murder you horribly if you have neither

I would not have survived the nightmare fight without some healing, but I didn't bring any non-synergy characters, so no medicas; I had Beatrix offhealing while Raijin mainhealed with his BSB. You could easily lean harder on the green orbs for aoe healing, though, since they have such low hp and the boss does almost exclusively aoe damage.

I'd really love to get some Final Fantasy Legend games in FFRK. And the Secret of Mana (Final Fantasy Adventure) series. I know that one came up in a collab event we didn't get, but would love it if they made it a whole realm. Lots to work with, too, if they combined Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, and the third one that never came to America. Each of those games could easily be their own realms with all the characters to draw from. Maybe that's when we might see it later, if they really start scraping the bottom of the barrel for new characters.

Guessing these might not be coming just because they're not "Final Fantasy" games in Japan, but dammit, they're linked in my mind.

drat, now I wanna play those games again.

This is a bit old but I also didn't see anyone reply: in another week or two JP side is getting a Legends 2 event, though only as a one-time thing, not a realm add.

Legends is the Japanese name for what is Final Fantasy Dimensions globally instead of what the GameBoy SaGa series was called here. Legends 2 is one of their currently running mobages. They'll be Beyond synergy like the WoFF characters, and, presumably, any kind of odd one-off they decide to add down the line. Should be noted that, like Mobius, Legends is completely under SquareEnix's publishing umbrella, though that's hardly any guarantee we'll get it.

Ahah, I was wondering why nothing sounded familiar. Glad I already wasn't planning on pulling for its banner, cause I hated Dimensions.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Dimensions is an ATB game split up into paid chapters with a Job system and progenitor of the "mobile look". It is, at the least, an actual game.

All the Bravest is a game that you tap the screen rapidly to have a bunch of pixel jobs (or actual characters if you pay for them) hogpile onto enemies until they die. The FFRK mini-games have been more complex.


Legends 2, then, is a sequel to Dimensions.

Getting kind of nervous since I didn't have any luck in the Biggs/Wedge fight. I'm hoping I've got enough time to take advantage of the Sunday Daily to boost my FF8 crew high enough. I'm able to get close, but sometimes the timings on the slowga/OK RW just don't sync well and Biggs/Wedge doubleteam my main healer and it begins to fall apart. Or the annoying habit of sniping Rinoa just before her OSB can go off. Pretty sure a few more levels HP buffer will help me close the gap though.

I keep looking over the FF7 banners for next week trying to dissuade myself, but I really feel like jumping in for the tight Wind synergy EnAero/Imperil Wind items all being on one banner. And the bad results don't seem too bad. I still don't have a Pentabreak so getting one on Barrett doesn't seem the end of the world.

Quick question though, whats the difference between Cid's not-Shout and Ramza's Shout?

One is on Cid and one is on Ramza.

That's the difference, quite literally. They're different characters and have different skillsets, so there's times where one would work better than the other, but the SBs are identical and both characters have Lifesiphon access.

The SBs are identical. Ramza's is often more coveted because he's a very good character and support 5 characters are useful for most fights, whereas Cid's a dragoon/machinist, which are less universally useful. Also I think Cid has less MND, so the haste lasts a little less time? Either way, it's the exact same SB.

Nothing.

Technically Cid's has a slightly lower cast time (2.50s vs. 3.00s), but the main difference is the character it's attached to. Ramza is more flexible then Cid to stick in a party, and has better equipment access. You're basically choosing between a Support or DPS/Machinist.

The green orb should be enough healing, but if you need more, having Tyro, Onion Kid or Beatrix geared for MND and summoning a Y'shtola BSB is probably your best bet. Especially if you have either Tyro BSB or Beatrix's Magic Blink SSB.

Ramza is easier to stick in a party... until you get a support BSB like Faris's, and suddenly the Cid option starts to look real appealing. Especially if you have some Dragoon skills honed.

Ah, gotcha, thanks. I just kind of like Dragoons in general for ??? reasons, so I think I'll be happy to budget a single pull on that banner for VII synergy/Wind synergy/Cloud BSB/Cid Stuff

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



Finally got around to the VIII U+. Decided to go for CM since I kind of have an embarrassment of FFVIII relic riches (nearly everything except the OSBs, Fujin/Raijin stuff, or Rinoa stuff).

Hardest part was figuring out good team composition.
Since Edea is my only native VIII hastega, she was a lock (with MM/DZ).
Quistis, with a great self-boosting AOE BSB, became lock #2.
Selphie was the obvious choice for healer.
I needed breakdowns, so Irvine and his Bismarck++ were in.
And I figured Seifer with Gaia Cross to feed Bloodfest via Lionheart was a safer option for the team than Zell going for DPS.

Couldn't figure out how to make protectga and shellga both available, so just RWed Tyro BSB. The commands would give selphie something to do when mitigation was enough to not need curing. Also let me give her dispel as a backup to Seifer's Banishing Blade in case they heavy regen themselves too much.

It went really well. Quistis and Edea did almost all of the heavy lifting. Got a little lucky that slowga only hit Quistis just before her BSB fired, since Edea's hastega took forever to recharge. Also chose to give Selphie knight's charge RM which really sucks, she didn't get a SB charge until the very end of the fight.

This setup didn't work for the U++, where a single AOE did like 4k damage to everyone. Oops. Might need wall and dances.

Did an 11-pull because my FFXII synergy sucks. Got Basch's SSB. After getting over my initial disappointment for going 1/11, I realized that combined with Beatrix's SSB, I now have both types of party blinks attached to physical attackers. Sweet.

I'm suddenly very tempted to craft Omega Drive

She had never felt so helpless or s completely at the mercy of another human being.. a being who could snap the slender column of her body with one squeeze of a steel clad arm.

No Trace of tenderness softened the harsh pressure of his mouth on hers... there was only a savagely punishing intentess of purpose that cut off the breath until her sense reeled and her body sagged against the granite hardness of his, he released her wrists, seeming to know that they would hang helplessly at her sides, and his hand moved to the small of her back to exert a pressure that crushed her soft outlines to the unyielding dominance of his and left her in no doubt as the force his masculinity.

The books uphold the values of their readers who share this fear of break-ing social codes, but behind these reassur-ingly familiar restraints they celebrate a wild, eager sexuality which flourish and is finally affirmed in "marriage," which Parisi sees as mainly a code word for "gently caress."

And this is how Harlequin Romance Novels castigate women into The Patriarchy Matrix.

Oh yeah fellow 7.0 goon, there's a temp fix you can do every time you start the game. Simply switch apps and go back to ffrk. That'll fix your graphics for the whole session.

Now I need advice for beating the disciplinary committee. I've beaten the fight but failed to master it because Seifer pulled some bullshit out at the last second and killed one of my dudes. I have terrible VIII synergy - basically just a gun and a sword. Would it be worth pulling on either banner just to get this done? Probably not.

P.S. I'm sick of resetting every time I can't get defenses up before Seifer's opening move.

How did you do it the first time? If you didn't, I'd recommend bringing two mages and RWing Quistis BSB on them + a faithga from someone else, or even just bring the spell Faith on someone and use it on them if you don't have a faithga. I just spammed command 2, but if you're having trouble it's probably safer to use command 1 to take out one target at a time.

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



Is it worth doing a pull here if I have literally one piece of synergy gear for XII? It's hard to justify not throwing it at the anniversary stuff, but I should still have enough to make 3 or maybe even 4 pulls on it even if I do one here.

On the one hand, I'm at the point where I'm pretty well-saturated with relics from about 75% of the realms, and the other 25% I have pretty much nothing for, so I feel like I should make some pulls on those. On the other hand, unless I get a god pull, it still wouldn't be enough to push me through a XII CM, and it seems to be a pretty drat rare realm, events-wise.

I have an entirely physical team of Ramza (Shout), Celes (Maria's Song), Fran (Mist Overload), Tyro (Keeper's Tome til RW runs out, then wall), and Aeris (White Materia). I use a wall RW so that I can give Celes and Ramza the soul break materias. Basically just start off getting buffs up and then focus Fujin down, using Banishing Strike to get rid of haste. Usually what happens though is that I get hit with Fira and Fujin's AOE at the same time and someone dies.

I think you could afford to switch a couple mages in for Fran and Ramza, if you have them leveled up. Maria's Song will buff their magic, and Quistis BSB command 2 is a +mag/-def buff that will stack with it, which should be plenty re: magic buffs. Single target breakdowns are pretty inefficient on a 3-target fight like the disciplinary committee, you can just slap Multi Break and an atk or mag down 4* dance (most likely mag given what you said you were having trouble with) on Tyro and not need to bring along 3 supports. Your team is pretty low damage in general.

e: You won't miss the hastega from Shout, given how literally every member of your team will be using a BSB and thus be hasted :v:

e2: alternatively you could just say "gently caress it," since the only reward for mastering U++ fights is upgrade mats.
