Ongoing JP Anniversary stream announced 6* upgrades for Charlotte and Hayate planned for December. So for us, figure next summer/fall. Also some weird kind of new game mode where you bring a team of 10 units, swapping them in during the fight? No one's sure how that's going to work right now.

Oh hey, that gives me hope for 6* awakenings for more FFBE originals. I'd like to see what a 6* version of the bard Gilbert would be like.

I'd really like to see Square's original fully realized vision for FF9, because it feels like they had to cut a lot of content. Lani has her own (pretty badass) theme and character model, and gets played up like they're introducing some big new character, only to be such a non-entity, I can't even really remember what she does in the story, and I've played through the whole game multiple times.

I'm still sitting on a stack of stat pots, I'm reluctant to use them. I suppose I'm safe dumping all my ATK ones into Lightning, but I'm holding off putting my defensive ones on to Cecil because I have a WoL waiting in the wings.

First TMR I have ground for finally at 100%, Excalibur. Lightning breaks 500 ATK. Time to start on Dual Cast.

Also Dual Wield at 100% through Trust Moogles, will probably go on CoD, or would Exdeath be a better option?

Well, I just got a blue crystal on my half pull that reformed into gold and it is Refia. I have maxed out CoD, Elza and Faris and was working on maxing out Exdeath and Lenna...Lenna was just about done but I thought I'd ask, I should drop her like she's hot and start leveling Regis I assume? Like, is she that much better than Lenna that I should consider those resources wasted and start fresh with Refia?

Very yes. Refia is leagues better than Lenna.

Ok, thanks for the advice. Sucks having leveled Lenna since she really do much for me in the time I've used her but oh well. Getting the awakening materials is going to stink to get her to five stars but I have most of there six star awakening mats so I just have to get over the 5 star hurdle.

You never know, Lenna could get a 6* awakening sometime in the future.

Daily pull was a Locke! I finally have a weapon for CoD to work toward. The trick is finding space to put him. I have two Dual Wields to work on after my current crop of TMR is harvested.

Did another 11 pull. Two more Mercedes, for a total of 4. What am I going to do with 4 Mercedes?

I got another Zidane in the pull so that's good at least.

Edit: Threw one more ticket at the thing afterwards... Chizuru!!!! Finally.

I have 5 Zidanes now. I don't think I really need 5, since a healer is probably better off with a shield than holding 2 spirit rods.

Right now my game is stuck on "Connecting" endlessly after I click past the initial screen.



I've tried connecting on both my phone and Memu and it does the same thing on both platforms. I tried restoring the app data, rebooting my phone and computer and its still happening. Not sure what to do from here. Anyone else experiencing this?

I need help deciding what to grind for my TMRs.

Currently my main team consists of Lightning, CoD, Refia, Cecil, and Exdeath. Other notable 6*'s I have are Chizuru, Mercedes, and Bartz.

TMRs I have completed are:
Dual Wield
Lunge Combo
Lunge Combo
Excalibur
Black Cowl
Shield H Shield
Romandan Pistol (Soon, at 93% right now)

Notable TMRs I could farm:
Dual Wield x4
Mag +30% x(a lot)
Excalibur x4
Letters and Arms x7
Minerva Bustier
Dual Cast x5
Omnirod
Rising Sun
Blade Mastery x2
Viking Axe x4

My current TMR farm has Mercedes 2x, Chizuru, Zidane, Mustadio, none but Mustadio are higher than 10%, most just started. Should probably ditch the Mercedes for now for something like another Dual Wield or Dual Cast, or some caster stuff for Exdeath, but the high attack power of Viking Axe caught my eye.

You probably want at least 5 Doublecasts before you start thinking about smushing them together, same goes for DW. Both can double the damage potential on certain units, and while DC loses out a bit of prestige because of Dual Black Magic on two base 3* units, it's still very useful on healers and supports. Refia loves it, Cecil loves it, it makes Tellah into a real solid flex unit...

I hear what you're saying, but I can't imagine ever needing 5 Dualcasts at the same time. Three at the very most seems sufficient.

Romandan Pistol done, time to start on a second Viking Axe, for now at least. I'm thinking of just putting all my Inguses (8) in a blender until 4 Letters and Arms pop out for Exdeath.

Charlotte's TMR is good for a healer, having a shield is nice. Otherwise, eh.

How should I gear Noctis, all out ATK or balance ATK and MAG for the hybrid attacks?

Mischalaniouse
Nov 7, 2009

*ribbit*
That's why I think they should give the Bard character Gilbert a 6* awakening and make him a hybrid damage character since all harps have attack and magic. Give him something like Harp Mastery: +30% ATK and MAG when equipped with a harp and give him a bunch of hybrid damage songs like Holy Song: Hybrid holy damage to the enemy with a chance to confuse, Fire Song: Hybrid fire damage with a chance to lower attack, etc etc.

Welp, just got Noel for my daily pull. That puts me at only missing half of the base 5* units as an entirely F2P player. :psyduck:

How exactly does he compare to Cecil? Mine's been stuck at 4* waiting for the burst pots from this even to come out, but now I'm kind of tempted to just focus on leveling WK Noel since my only other fully leveled tank is Demon Rain, and seems to be getting less useful as event and trial bosses put out more and more damage.

He's a good tank and can actually put out some damage. He doesn't have Curaja though.
