HGH posted:So when I finish The Gathering, am I supposed to repeat the final stage and hope for Giancryst drops? Ahhhh, I'm not going to have enough mats for both Amelia and Tilith until the 12 event rolls around. Looks like Vargas is getting some global exclusive buffs. Eyeballing it, he should be on par with Gilgamesh with a fire-element slant. Dates are 6/16 to 6/29, so this week. Based on what Fujimoto said in the live letter, we can be expecting 6* Garland/Warrior of Light on either 6/23 or 6/30. Esper resets are coming with the anniversary event.

Lol, Warrior of Light "this summer". Enough time for people who got Wilhelm to not feel cheated I guess. Based on this, I guess I'm going to have to wait until Roy has been around for 2 months before they'll enhance Ramza.

Shiiiiiiiiiiit I barely have awakening mats and I have Tilith and WoL ready to 6*. Also I'm one bloom away from getting minfilia to 6* and losing the rest of my stocked up mats. Still dont understand why they waited so much for WoL. Its not like WoL was THAT much better than the rest of the 6* tanks, but the games meta necessitate that he be the tank you used because AoE damage and the need to have a breaker in your team. e-Rikku's enhancements are eeeh. Mostly quality of life but the extra hits on her water attack makes Tidus chaining even stronger. Mix makes it so she can null all twice in one mix before having to prepare again. Extra MP doesn't mean much when she doesn't have an innate built in refresh. Setzer's are also kinda eh. Extra damage on redcard doesn't mean much, you are using it to chain for stronger attacks but he might be able to pull his own weight at least. The doubledice change though has the potential to royally gently caress up some earlier trial's and challenges. The ultimate gamble, cheese the trial or fail trying.

Not sure if I should go for any of these enhancements... I have Ace but gambling for magic damage (even if it is huge) isn't my style. Plus I haven't farmed up magic TMs for him.Killing Vector posted:Don't bother trying to farm this event.

Hey, I'll take a boosted Firion. Could use a strong chain finisher. On the subject of chaining madness, I think I finally have something that works. Just need to make some story progress to get the Gale Key for Sonic Knuckles and the Air Knife. Fohlen is a totally legit chainer in the vein of Orlandau. I have him with Dual Wield, my Crimson Blood and a Gungnir, plus some attack boosting stuff. I have him paired with my Reberta, who is using a Wind Spear and my Bowie Knife. If I get another Reberta or Trance Terra friend I can almost kill ELT Titan on round 2. If I had some of the better TMs, I could probably do it. It's pretty hosed that he can apply his own -75% wind debuff after dodging an attack. Everyone else on my team wants a spin-up turn, so him needing to use Vortex first is totally fine. Chocobro, best bro. Still a pain in the rear end there's not a wind sword. It's all daggers, knuckles, spears, and katanas, which don't fit super well with a lot of the better chainers.

6th time was the charm with Dana to beat Ultross. Got lucky and Setzer was procing max damage pretty often, I don't think I even use Noctis to do damage in round 2, pretty much used comeback every round to keep healers alive. But now we're done! 240 energy later...

It definitely isn't that bad, your setup is pretty overkill. The final map has two bosses that might warrant such punishment but they'll likely also die to a single use of that combo. It's not that the bosses are hard, you just can't take them for granted and come in without a proper Provoke tank and defense buffs.

It isn't "bad" however it is a significant jump from everything else you have been used to in this. It is not Trial difficulty, but when you get used to crushing poo poo quick, it can catch you off guard. My party for this has been Fryevia, Setzer, Sohze, Firion (after this fight I swapped for Rain because of breaks) and Ysholta. Every thing else was a breeze. This shark took Fryevia, Setzer and Sohze chained limits to like 1/10 health. I said "oh gently caress" and tried to regain ground. The battle then became tricky due to the requirements for the battle not using recover magic, and the fish spamming waterga. The rest of the fight involved me trying to gain back limit crystals with out dying because of the spam. Eventually I just used the friend to Divine Ruinate him to death, with out the limit kill. hagie fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jun 11, 2017 |

Like seriously, sure its a step up and you could be blindsided but its still a very easy story event. My T.Terras easily destroyed everything in it without actually trying and double TGC chains are way way stronger.

Dana Crysalis posted:achoo! Yeah, about that... Hailstone + a dangerous series of attacks will crush Noctis. Defending when his health is too low won't allow you to outheal the damage, I think. The only way I think I can do this is if I make absolutely sure I've risked the sneezes and used Warp Break enough to get enough of a lead before Ultros starts using Hailstone. So what I'm saying is maybe 6th time is indeed the charm? I'm gonna beat those MOTHER FATHER CHINESE DENTISTS!!!  After my latest crushing octopus-related defeat this morning, I got a half-price pull, and got Fohlen. He seems neat, high natural evade (but the wrong equipment types to get 100% Evade with the stuff I have, I'm almost to a 100% evade Lightning, just gotta keep grinding those TMs) and he can chain perfectly wth Reberta, and decently with Orlandeu? Plus he is a chocobro, so there's that.

I want to get the Ifrit Claw but I just don't see it happening with my current options. I have two 6*/100s - Cecil and Gilgamesh. I have 5* Rain, Y'shtola and Setzer, along with a 4* Setzer (who will be 5 as soon as the last &$&%#!^ seed drops). I have no breakers to speak of and I still have a ways to go to finish my first real TMRs to make Gilgamesh a strong damage dealer. Currently it doesn't even look like I can finish Pro even with a strong dps'er. I got Siren down to about 25% on my best attempt (with Ifrit still alive). Basically I'm just curious if there is anything that can hard carry through that fight. But based on the mechanics of it I don't know that there is such a character/build.

minor heads up: humble bundle has thier E3 bundle up this year, and it includes a code for 500 amazon coins. 500 isnt much but it'll buy you a few free slots, so be sure to send 1 or 2 dollars to humble bundle or mooch off any of your friends who buy it and don't use amazon underground. One code per account, so don't bother trying to hoard them. Tengames fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Jun 11, 2017 |

Got to the end of the gathering. Chained DR on one boss and hit esper summon. He was left with 1 pixel of life. Tried to rebuild my gauge on the 2nd one, but got him low enough that I had to kill with an LB, which killed the other. Oh well, something to do tomorrow.

This time I made sure not to gently caress up. Everything from the gathering claimed except for one white purecryst because I was an idiot and gently caress redoing that for something I'll never use because Tilith will never get enhancements. Ive got one DW completed and one at 80%. This moogle will get it to 90%. Ive got 3 other zidanes. I could smoosh two of them and get another DW. I seriously dont think I need a 4th DW given that tilith has no arms and WoL cant dualwield shields (He can since I have him with a winged guardian on)

Updated event schedule: On Thursday, 6/15, we get the Brave Frontier crossover.    (sorry, I don't have an Elza gif) Warrior of Light and Garland are coming with Mog on June 29 for the 1st Anniversary.    The FF12 event will likely start at the same time, on June 29. Maybe a week later, depending on what they have planned for the anniversary. Poor Rasler... he never had a chance. Not even in his home game.     Lunera's FFBE story event should arrive around July 13. It'll be the same in structure to the current event that's going on.    The real question is... when are we getting Wakka? I'm guessing somewhere around July 27. Might get bumped to August by Tactics or 11, though. They know we want it.    I could be wrong, though.

Power, Support and Tech are the most important. Tech actually upgrades a lot of important future weapon passives as it turns out, bur not right now. Power is very in demand because it'll pretty much be used for any damaging ability that's not a colored magic, even Counters and passives. If it does damage and doesn't have a color, it's Power based. Support upgrades a range of stuff from various buffs and debuffs, evasion, passives... Anything goes. You'll need it a lot. I was partially wrong about White, as it does help spells like Curaga and Raise. But healers like Tilith and so on will be using their own abilities (and Healing crysts as a result) so White's importance isn't too great. So ultimately it's Guard, Black and Green that are the least used.

Holy poo poo the cat spell blade 5* is basically freyja on steroids. You ain't giving cats tm to Frey you are giving Frey sword to cat Gumi looking at tilith- "How can we make something stronger than her so that people whale on another healer? Tiliths kit is fantastic, but she's not very flexible, she can only do one thing a turn. She has to pick if she wants to revive, cure status, raw full heal or mp restore. Lets make someone that can push out incredible scaling heals, while having the flexibility to revive someone or cure the party of status effects, also lets make her immune to all control impeding status effects. Gumi looking at Ayaka- "poo poo, we made her way too good. What do we do to make a healer stronger than her so that people whale on second season characters? Ayaka is already perfect as a healer, how can we make something even better? Well have her be as good as Ayaka healing but also have her do completely insane damage!" And so Maiden of the White Lotus Fina is born. Healer power creep effectively stalled out for like a year when Gumi came out with Tilith 6*. Then Ayaka came out and it really loving ramped up and now went unnecessarily hard with WL Fina. No point in whaling for Ayaka now that I know WL Fina is just way better than her in everything but not getting hit (no built in camouflage but she counters with heals and damage) Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Jun 12, 2017 |
