Like I've said before, we got things like 5* tickets EARLIER proportionally than the japanese did. As it is right at this instant, there is no reason to believe that we will be worse off than the japanese when 7* roll out. The only way we would be worse off is if they rush out 7*s faster than in the japanese version and completely forgo step ups.

Step ups wont mean a drat thing if people dont have as much lapis to actually use it. A lot of stepups don’t garuntee multiple 5* let alone one, so if someone tries and gets nothing, theyre hosed for months until they save up enough for the next one.

Also getting 5* tickets earlier than JP doesn't mean a god drat thing if JP is giving out twice as many in the same time frame.

I'd say that up to the type banner we are pretty even. The type banner skews things really heavily though, and I have no idea if Gumi are going to do it in global.

Also that the weight-up on a featured banner is 90% on-banner (each of the 3 featured weapons is 30%), 10% off-banner.

actually we are technically past the type banner because we leap frogged a bunch of events, but thinking that a good chunk of the money gumi gets is from asia I'm starting to think that if they do dump 3 guaranteed 5* banners on us it will be during lunar new year.

Yeah considering potential holidays, we're not going a new FF related thing till at least the 23rd. People already dug up CNY raid assets and there's gotta be something for Valentine's so that's two weeks at least till FF9/10.

Cupid Luna and Artemios Enhancement were part of the datamined stuff. So that's probably part of whatever they do on Valentine's.

They are not going to suddenly starting giving us 5* tickets left and right. Would you rather get $10 now and $5 each week after, or $0 now and $15 each week starting next month?

Weren't you convinced we were getting those three 5* guaranteed banners back during Christmas? Why would they wait to give them to us NOW?

Well like half of the 5* and UoC tickets they've handed out were because of massive cockups we haven't gone through and probably wont too given how item world is still hosed up.

Pretty sure I wasn't. In fact, most people were calling me a massive negative nancy during the christmas event because of how poo poo that event was. At most I said we might get a developers choice banner and well, it got out now.

I was hoping for those banners, or anything really because that Christmas event was such garbage. :negative:

Also the Secret of Mana remake comes out in two weeks, we might get something around then too. Betting no SD3 but maybe the SD1 Hero.

So, they responded to 25 "fan suggestions" on their Facebook page.

Lots of "thank you" and "we will consider this" answers.

Fountain of Lapis is a solid "maybe."

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
That wasn't quite what they said about the Fountain. They said they would bring it back every now and then.

You are correct that most of their responses were non-answers. I'd copy and paste it but Facebook mobile sucks at that.

The only thing I saw of note was that step up banners will come to Global.

Yeap, banners and vortex are wonky.

FFDOO is cute, and I've had fun with it so far. Combat does have some strategy to it, based off of the major Dissidia titles Brave system. I'm in chapter 5, but the game hasn't really gripped me just yet?

It's cute having the game, you know, actually focus on established FF characters.

Some of them are a bit one-note but I am enjoying the crossover.

I used all my tickets (11 of them) and got Olif, half a dozen Roselias plus sundry trash. Not great but there's 13 days of free summons left to hope for something decent.

I went to try Dissidia but it instantly crashes on Memu (the same 5.1 android VM that FFBE runs in). It works on the tablet but thats rather inconvenient.

Yeah it runs on blue stacks, not memu. I enjoy dissidia, its nice that it is only ff character based. The storyline is extremely lackluster, but the mechanics of the game are enjoyable; for now.

If it keeps getting better I'll keep playing.

I mean if you think about it, that's like saying FFBE had no depth when the only content out was Grandshelt Island. FFBE only started to get complex when Demon Chimera showed up, and then when Wind Veritas ambushed you from the bushes on the 4th island or wherever. So I'd give it some time and see what it has to offer in a few months.

I'm thinking of holding tickets till awakened rain and 10+1 rolls till Seph maybe if his step up is as good as it was in Japan. Outside of GL surprised I feel like I'm set well into 7* releases. Hell, I don't really need Seph so I'll probably skip that entirely

6* Roselia is a pretty good healer... except she can't cast Raise without either killing herself or or using her limit break. If she could, she'd be around Ayaka-good.

Any gear or materia coming up that will allow Raise/Reraise?

Cedona would be a great character if her Combo Contestant skill weren't locked behind Blade Temperament or her Limit Break. Lots of decently high ATK and HP bonuses, as well as decent modifiers.

Any word on her getting an Enhancement to make Combo Contestant easier to get to, or with a longer duration?

I think there's a Chocobo shop down the road that sells Raise as a materia.
