I'll keep my Noct up and running and I'll just youtube the story bits for every update, gently caress the RNG I'm going through, gently caress losing out on "GET THIS OR HAVE A HARD TIME" 4base characters every single time, I can put the 30 minimum minutes of FFBE a day to significantly better, more productive and good use.

And finally, gently caress the luck all but 2-3 of you have. Those 2-3 of you have equal or worse luck than I. Pretty Cure puzzle game here I come

I only have 2 base 5* units and neither of them are noctis, but if you dont like the game and found one you do, then good luck and godspeed.

Evil Fluffy posted:

Payback Jack please delete that insanity from the OP. Even during the soft launch it was pretty firmly stated that the easiest way to reroll on a phone was to use a dummy facebook account to log in/out. Does that no longer work?

Either way, if you're going to reroll to chase a 5* unit you should use nox/memu. There was a goon who rolled Orlandu on an account but wasn't planning to keep it so if they still have it you might be in luck.

I am conflicted. I stopped playing when Ariana Grande came out. It was a coincidence really - I thought it was fun as hell and didn't like being forced to see some dumb pop star every time I opened my dumb anime collecting button pusher but really I would have stopped them anyway. I decided to wait until Orlandau came out.

I saw that he is here a couple nights ago and after several app crashes and failed updates (what the hell happened) I got in and burned my 23 tickets. I got:

Soleil
Hayate
Faris
Rosalia
Lawrence
Luna
Xiao
Locke
Lawrence
Edgar
Shantotto
Fang
Lawrence
Ludmille
Bartz
Duane
Charlotte
Shara
Zidane
Hope
Vanille
LUNETH
Leon
Fran

So now I am conflicted. My team has been Elza (my only rainbow), CoD, Faris, Exdeath and Refia. They are all maxed but my items aren't anything special as I have not trust mastered anyone. I have two Zidanes I was working on but that was when I burned out. I have some other decent characters too.

I thought that if I got Orlandau that would drive me to play again but now I am wondering...do I come back for Luneth? Friends with Luneth kick rear end and I don't have any double attacks since my Zidanes will never be done so I think having him could be good but then there is the whole leveling him up aspect.

This is more of a rant if anything but if anyone has advice I am just wondering if you still enjoy the game, if Orlandau has broken the game enough to make him worth seeking out still (I don't really want to drop money since I don't even know if I would be playing) and whatnot. And is Luneth powerful enough to make having him somehow make the game better. The trust mastery thing was one of the biggest reasons I got bored so that isn't promising since I feel like I have dead ended with getting my animes stronger.

Another thing that seems nice is that they implemented the summoning rarity changes. I did seem to notice improvements with my 23 pulls. I didn't expect any rainbows.

Also how is Soleil? I have hundreds and hundreds of posts to catch up on since I left so I will get to them eventually but is she a keeper? Would she be replacing anyone on my team? And if I did play and use Luneth, should I replace Faris? I don't really see anyone else being expendable but the full break would be lost.

Luneth is bomb and, with enhancements confirmed, his came in batch #4 which gave him one of the hardest hitting ST attacks. Soleil becomes a decent niche buffer with enhancements (+120% stats or something) so it's worth keeping one if you don't have Ramza.

Btw, the Ariana event is coming back so...

As a long-time Luneth-haver, he is a goddamn beast. If I didn't get 2 Noctii from the last 2 banners, mine would still be my primary dude. If you get him kitted out with the right TMs, he can get his attack in the mid-900s. His status resistances are nothing to sneeze at either.

Ahahahaha what the gently caress. Have other events come back? I only played since the Elza event but at least in that time I have not seen any repeats. I think I remember Lightning maybe being twice? What is their reason for this, did it really bring people to the game in any way that it made them money? I kind of assumed that anyone coming to the game for Ariana Grande would have to have generous parents to let their 13 year old buy in app purchases so I didn't think they made much off of it.

Fake edit: that's great, thank you both for the info. I will start working on him then. Elza being my only rainbow has been nice but I don't feel like she is really overpowered in the way I would like a rainbow to be. Of course I don't have double attack or anything cool for her (well, I kind of do since her scythe has double attack built in) but even then, her attack is just not that high.

It's like awakening for abilities. You have to farm up mats and some of them (tier 4 mats) are turbo loving rare and was recently put on the JP King Mog shopping list for 100k a pop.

I think only Lands of Plenty for GL but it looks super rare, even on JP. No idea why.

also now that the reality of having persona 5 has sunk in i realize that there's zero chance i get anything done in the mogcakes event unless someone tells me how to macro it in the 45 minutes a day i have to eat between work and anime game

Her break DOUBLES the damage of your guys. She's going to be relevant for a long rear end time probably.

I have four Chizuru and four Agrias so I guess I technically have chainers for literally ever, plus a Bushido Freedom to toss on Luneth or Firion or whatever, so pulling is probably a tremendous waste. That's a good point.

My greg still has about a month of TMRing till I get to the point where I can consider him 'good', with over 800 atk. Then another 2-3 months to have him or another physical attacker at BiS or near-BiS amounts of attack. 5-6 months to get to an elite tier character isn't too bad. Just wish that I had rerolled on the original Noctis banner when I started, instead of waiting till I got lucky on the PC banner with a Gilgamesh to have a good unit.

We are getting some daily bundles during the event.


The blank spot is supposed to be 1,000 eggs and 100 eggs gets you a pull on the event gacha. This might be worth it if you have Lapis to spare. You may also decide to spend 300 Lapis on this instead of a daily 1/2 pull if you are not sold on the new units. That said, all the datamined information on the new units points to this being a strong banner. Some are saying that Freyvia is already better than Orlandu...

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Xon's Twist of Fate is almost certainly going to break any boss/trial fight that relies on superbuffs for the enemy(s) unless Gumi actually makes certain buffs immune to Xon's skill.

Freyvia might end up being Olive: Spellblade edition. She gets a 1-hander boosting passive like Randi (and Olive) and I'm sure she'll be able to stack it with doublehand. Since her damage is hybrid she'll make full use of Power of Creation like Noctis does.
