Good OP. One thing to note: there's one or two exceptions to the buff ID rule, right? I can't remember which ones, though.

I am not -quite- that desperate just yet. I can also only read katakana so it would just be a mess.

hard mode

for real though, FF: Mobius is a lot of fun. It has a more modern battle system-- kind of like a really simplified Lightning Returns. I wouldn't recommend Brave Exvius, that one's stupidly grindy and pulls have (or at least had) ridiculously low rates. Brave Frontier's alright, even if its glory days are long gone-- might be making a comeback, actually. GUMI's the company that develops that one though, and they're awful people who pulled Chain Chronicle, an actual good game :colbert:

Edit: ^ You get to pick a relic every time you drop an 11x, up to five pulls.

Is the boost to wind damage from Oath's Veil enough to make it worth a pull on Keeper's Choice 2? I have Platinum Sword and Stardust Rod already (plus Oerba's Boon, Dreamstage, and White Materia, so I really don't need Physician's Staff+, and while I'd like SG or Masamune I don't need them enough to drop a pull.

So i figured since i got ragnarok within two pulls and the next banner i care about is in about a month, I'd drop an 11x on Selphie 1 in the hopes of Crystal Gloves for m'boy Zell (with almasy revolver, strange vision, and sorceress gown as runner up prizes).

Man this week has really made up for that 0/80 over the summer :woop:

Bear in mind Keeper 2 isn't going anywhere any time soon. If you wanna drop a pull on your favorite final fantasy or the chance of a crazy relic like Ragnarok ( :getin:

), then go for it, especially if you're early on. Any relic you get from these banners (unless you get some reaaaally abysmal off-banner pull) is going to be able to carry you for a while. Hell, even a lovely off-banner pull should still be able to carry you up through about the first half of most event elites-- that's about as far as I was getting back in the dark days of non-G5 when I didn't have a single soul break.

keeper 2 is really good though, so it is the smart choice

Hope is a bit better in the sequels, but he's definitively annoying in the first game. I did end up liking him a little, and the sequence where Snow says all the worst possible things to Hope without noticing how much Hope hates him was fun.

I'm curious if whether he was voiced better in Japanese or something, because Hope and Lightning are certainly pretty popular in Japan. He got his OSB before Lightning too.

The JP voice actors are apparently well known and good. So are the english ones, but they were told to base their mannerisms off of the japanese voice actors, or something, and so we wound up with Ali Hillis doing a stilted deadpan. :shrug:

I don't think that has too much to do with why Hope and Lightning are more popular over there, though.

Chalk me up as someone who started of detesting hope and then mained him in the end game because he grew as a character and grew on me :shobon:

The scene with Snow is pretty loving great and helped immensely.

Moonring, Physicians Staff, and Hawkeye. No game changers, but not a bad haul! :toot:

First piece of III synergy gear. I'm excited to finally be able to throw Hope onto the team, and it's nice to give Vanille a sidegrade to Oerba's Boon, even if I never use her over Selphie's Dreamstage or Aeris' White Materia.

Extremely late to the party, but I finally beat that loving zombie dragon and nabbed my MC III lode. Reviving bosses are the death of me, not totally sure why. Here's my party breakdown in case anyone else is struggling:

SBs:
Cloud: Climhazzard/Finishing Touch
Aeris: White Materia
Faris: Sea Lord's Broadside, never used (she was only there so I could buff my defenses enough to stop dying)
Ramza: Shout
Zack: Apocalypse

I wound up doing some orb management and honing up a firaga strike so I'd have the DPS. Aeris' BSB was a lifesaver since it let me carry both shellga and protectga while still having a curaga (-ja?) command available.

This game better not go the way of Chain Chronicle :ohdear:

I don't think it'll shut down or take a hit in quality though, since it's a collab with such a big company and a financial hit in and of itself. Worst case Square passes the torch to a new company, and as long as it doesn't wind up in Gumi/Alim's hands everything should be alright.

on a totally unrelated note, why the gently caress are there trash mobs in this event with instant ko attacks :argh:

Ok. So now I got a message from Google, that they cannot refund this, and that I should contact the app developers instead.

So DeNA took away my gems because I wanted a refund, and told me to contact Google.

Google does nothing, and tells me to contact DeNA.

So now I'm $100 short AND the 9500 gems have been removed from my account to boot.

Do you have Combat King? If so, toss Ace Striker or Battleforged on him, give him Lifesiphon and Lifebane, and go ham. One of his other SBs? Go with one of the "significantly boosts fist damage" RMs, Sphere him up to Celerity 5*, and Chaincharge to your heart's content.

I do have combat king :toot:

(those are also the abilities I had glued to him already, so I'm glad I was on the right track.) I want battleforged to stay glued to Cloud so I can reasonably pull off the glory that is the shout/climhazzard/finishing touch/finishing touch combo, so I'll see about getting ace striker. Thanks!

What are some good abilities to throw on Fang? Right now I've got her running 2x Sky High R1, which is nice but unsustainable for long fights. I do not have the crystals to hone 6* stuff, unfortunately, or I'd shatter one and buff the other.

What SB do you have for her? I assume you have something or wouldn't be asking. I mean, probably Lifesiphon to get her BSB going, and maybe Sky High if you have a round or two when not using burst commands. If you have her SSB, probably lifesiphon and Dragoon Dive honed to R3 or so.

Pulsar Burst and Highwind.

Thanks for all the advice! I'm going to proceed to not follow any of it because apparently I don't have enough orbs to do literally anything. Maybe someday, Fang :negative:

I'm kinda starting to get a little annoyed about how much of the new content that's coming out is just blatantly a mage-team check.

Agreed

I guess it's about time for mages to be useful again, but it sucks if your draws have skewed physical. I just got enough mage relics (technically playing since release, but just about half a year of actively playing) to try to build up a team, but I need to hone stuff up and level characters, which is my biggest roadblock right now.

Do you have anything else for Lightning and/or Fang to swing around? It's still a solid sword.

I have flamberge, glaive, and punisher, so those two are set in terms of melee weapons (though I usually run Lightning with a gun for back-row spellblade shenanigans :getin:

Presumably they're giving it a few weeks for people to make headway into the game so they don't spoil things.

The machine blade sword we got has XV synergy so it has to come into play somewhere.

There's no way we won't get XV, but Type-0 synergy exists even if only in the datamine, so that's not a huge guarantee. Maybe someday...

Also, Cid 6 is probably as reasonable a candidate for WHT/MCH as any of them. It's not a strong case mind you, but I guess it's a stronger case than you could make for Cid 12. (Not saying much.)

He spends a year taking care of Celes, right? That's a pretty solid argument.
