It's working now on Android.

I do have a question, though. The update says that 'adjustments have been made to the damage calculations for physical attacks. No attacks have had their damage reduced as a result of this change.' Anyone know what changed? Is that just the new ATK softcap mentioned a while back?

Also Wol got 4* Monk, Palom and Porom can wear light armour and Galuf can use a katana. I guess that's a change. Probably most for Galuf, his weapon choices were kind of limited.

New attack softcap. ~805.

This is probably because he got buffed to have Samurai 4 a while back. It's actually a shame he doesn't have Samurai 5 for Hailstorm and the most recent Samurai 5 abilities in Japan

It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.
I killed the Shadow Lord yesterday. This should graduate me from the "newbie squad" to "slightly less newbie". Also managed the 240 mandragoras with pubbies, decided to go with Blind and Wrath for OK. Blinding one of the screaming jerks helped a lot and it's an easily accessible spells for people with poo poo hones like myself.

Also there's that Emperor MC2 I wanted literally like yesterday. They seemed to have also released more MCs for the core characters but why the hell would anyone want to MC them unless they have a decent RM?

We can sort relics by Legend Materia Mastery now.

Not sure why it's this early when we won't be getting any on any of the currently translated banners, but okay.

Prism posted:

Yeah, next big gameplay update is the Full Throttle D300 battles added to Torments and Legend Materia.

You have a few months more for the Magicite bosses to arrive.

Edit: Also, Reraise is super easy now that we have lots of offensive White Mage BSBs. I suggest Minwu BSB since he has an AoE attack command.

(Just be careful with Selphie's and the Instant KO)

It is, but any gems you have on one phone OS won't carry over to the other. Not sure about Mythril since you can't buy that with cash money.

This is generally true for all mobile games, up to and including the same caveat about premium currency.

I think I linked my FB account to the ipad, and my google account to my android. It was annoying to set up, partially because it's the wife's ipad so it REALLY wants to have her FB account by default.

it runs things a bit better but multiplayer still kinda sucked and I still got dropped.

Short form: Character-locked RMs that are always on for that character (and thus don't have to be juggled amongst characters like RMs).

Longer form: When you fill up a character's grid, they unlock a "Legend Sphere" which has several levels of better statgains than the other spheres, as well as "legend materia" unlocks that only that character can use/equip. For example, Warrior of Light unlocks one that starts him with Sentinel and Guts at the beginning of every battle, and one that gives him an inherent 10% resistance to Holy damage.

Around the time those roll out, we also get relics that serve no purpose but to grant characters extra Legend Materia; for example Relm getting one that adds a chance of MBlink proc on any single-target heal she casts. Curaja, Ultra Cure, her burst command 1, you name it. Each character has two Legend Materia slots and each Legend Sphere grants two materia, so getting a LM weapon would involve some rearranging to taste, but can be used to significantly bolster your characters.

EDIT: It's worth noting that legend spheres take 5* stat motes to fill out, which don't actually, you know, exist in global yet. I remember math saying that each sphere takes a grand total of 200 5* motes - 100 from two seperate types (like Bravery and Dexterity, Spirit/Wisdom, etc). That's, uh. A lot.

in other news i finally buckled down and killed the kaiser dragon. it was actually really easy, but i completely ignored whatever the crystal gimmick was and so missed out on the mastery. is it just a matter of stalling once the crystal shows up until he switches to the right weakness? between alphinaud/cid raines/RW onion knight spell spam he didn't even switch weakness once.


edit: wow since it was my first non-mote 6* skill i thought i might have enough crystals to hone it, not even close

Many don't bother mastering it because yeah you have to stall for the crystal to change to the right elements. Wait too long and you die, so it's just a dice roll if you get the 2 elements you need.

it's frustrating because seeing the crystal costs on honing meltdown means those two black two earth crystals are tantalizing

is meltdown just that good that bringing it along with two casts is a good idea?

That should be all you need to do, yeah.

Only one question. To use legendary relics, do you still need to complete the record sphere for the respective character?

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



So are 4* motes and stuff going to become a lot more common or something? I'm not sure how the hell I'd be able to max out sphere grids for more than 1 or 2 people without them dumping a lot more motes on us - especially vitality, since I have multiple characters that see a lot of use that have those drat Berserker spheres.

Yeah, I've missed a lot of 4* motes from MP fights and stuff too because I forget to do them, and have been spending mine in what was the "smart way" prior to the advent of LMs (I've never actually finished diving one character, I have like one 4* sphere on a bunch that adds a lot of damage to their primary set or gives them access to a good 5* or something, and skipped the ones that are just like stats or a mediocre 3%)
