So I bought the 5k Lapis bundle, used my 5* ticket, and FINALLY GOT MY FIRST GILGAMESH.

I know it's kinda troll pull but I've wanted a Genji Gloves for years, literally!

OMG fam I've been sleeping on this story event and it's the best story event ever!!! I could have been maxing out my power/tech alcrysts this whole time why did nobody @ me T_T

Do item drop farming units like Xon, Lara, etc increase rate of getting the lower tier crysts here? I need like hundreds of alcrysts!

Yes, if you awaken master thief to +1 otherwise Xon just boosts rare item drop.

I don't think we have a clear answer yet on where they cap at, some people assume it's at 100% so two units should be enough but I'm not sure if that's the case since the official update video didn't say a hard number from what I remember.

3rd rainbow this morning on the JC3 banner and got Marie, so 3rd off banner.

Seeing a repeat of Explorer Aileen happening. Again why I don't like Limited Banners.

At least Rico TM isn't as coveted by me as Ex. Aileen's was but I keep throwing every ticket at it. I need to stop.

Doesn't help either than Marie is an enhanced 5* base that's worse than an enhanced 3* base.

Edit - "Worse" depending on situation. Should clarify since Marie has more resistance abilities but lacks the 100%.

Beat Iron Giant thanks to Brosey's Lila.

Thanks for keeping yours geared for IG. Saw bunches of Lilas just geared for max SPR and it was super frustrating. I tried a couple times with one and got really close, but not quite over the mark (down to 14%, and my two lilas survived thanks to reraise and m. ramza being a boss, but without breaks they only got him down to 1% and then ramza tried to solo him for a few rounds unsuccessfully)

I ended up taking man-eater+ off my Dragonlord since he's really not as useful for IG as I expected (does ~15% damage with breaks and imperils), but I'm leaving him up generically built... let me know if someone needs something specific done with him.

So I discovered something today that may have just killed my interest in this game in general. My S7 updated to the Oreo OS the other day and I only just discovered that as a result FREP no longer works. The program opens as normal but whenever I open it after activating it from the PC end the app just crashes and opening it again brings up a plain screen with no UI. I've no idea what might have changed in the OS to block it, or where to dig for a way to change it but all my 7*s are basically unreachable now.

Edit: Phew worked it out luckily.

Here's what's different for anyone else who encounters this. On Oreo disabling developer options after enabling the server from your PC actually kills the scripts. In previous Android version you could disable developer options afterwards whereas now that switch will actually disable them all together and hide it from the OS again too until you access it from the build number. Long story short just leave developer options on constantly on Oreo. You can still disable USB Debugging once you're done though. Also I used to have to use the Win Alt .exe for mine, using that with Oreo makes it crash now but using the standard Win .exe seems to work fine so far.

I have about two full trust moogles good to go but but sure what I want to do. Since I have sephiroth and masamune, should I pull the trigger on full double hand build and feed them to cloud and elfreeda? Genji glove is also an option.

I believe that even with DH on Masamume Seph is more of a DW unit.

Still worth it to begin setting up for TDH anyways.

Yeah DW Seph (with a light weapon preferably since he also imperils) is like the ultimate chaining partner, it would be a pity to go doublehand with him since he can't W-cast his abilities anyway.

I'd say just wait and see how the first 7* batch on GL looks like. If there's a unit on there you want to awaken but are missing the TM for their TM-Ability you won't have to wait for Moogles or your TM-farming to conclude.

Gumi can eat a dick.

Three 10+1 tickets, pure trash.

5* ticket. A fucking Marie. Any other 5* unit would be better.

Fuck you Gumi.

This game is soul crushing. I want to enjoy it, then bullshit like this happens.

Same here. For the longest time they were my two most wanted units. But between Yuna and Nichol the only elements I'm not covering innately are earth and wind. And with TDH and Medina coming out (hopefully) Genuinely Glove isn't as coveted anymore.

I bought the 5k lapis banner and got fucking nothing from the 10+1

I then spent the 5* ticket and got my second CG Fina, woot!

The upcoming 7* units have pretty much put me off of this game. When i can barely pull a 5* unit from multiple 10+1 pulls, and the few 5* Guaranteed tickets i get yield trash (and no duplicates) it is going to effectively be impossible to keep up with content, and the players. And unfortunately, i do not have the money to completely whale out on this game.

Wait. Medina?

Oh, BiS, our time together was much too short.

EDIT - Question: For a Bahamut finish, should I break DEF or SPR?

To be fair content won't be tuned around 7* for a very long time. Heck I'm F2P and my units have had the power to clear all content for months now. As long as you're ok with not having the absolute best but can still clear content, there's plenty this game has to offer to F2P.

Not for months and months. First trial supposedly tuned to an entire party of 7* units was Gilgamesh Runback, released 3 weeks ago. JP is 7-8 months ahead of GL. The jerk-off over 7* power jump is just bored players looking for stimulation, not something required to clear content.

This is the real trial, of course, despite people pretending otherwise. Keeping up with the Joneses, feeling inferior to stacked friend units, et cetera. Nothing wrong with tapping out if you're losing this particular fight, but it's very distinct from the former.

For you and anyone else keeping track, if you are susceptible to this, you are going to be in for a bad time when STMRs drop.

Last night I used roughly a dozen rare tickets, two 4* tickets, and one 10% 5* ticket. I managed to pull four 5* characters: Maritime Strategist Nichol, Veritas of the Dark, Veritas of the Flame, and Mercenary Ramza.

I still have a couple of 5* and 10+1 tickets left, and I'm hoping either Ayaka or LM Fina will be back on future banners because I'm in desperate need of a good healer.

I personally would say it is worth it, I did after pulling her. The only other Hats that are better seem to be Aileen's and Carletto's STMR. Atoning Dragoon Kain(?)s TMR comes close to it in ATK but is a Helmet.

Edit: the Google keyboard is swallowing shit when used in Chrome, what the fuck?!

Thanks,
so i dont have Kain and went ahead with Prishes TM. Also maxed my second Elfreeda.

This was enough for me to go back and try out TDH Tidus again....and yeah he hits hard even though im missing Clouds TM. Only bummer is that i dont have that many Tidus friends that run him TDH style lol. Ill keep him for now though....he seems to hit harder than my OK combo and i dont need to bring Ace along for res debuffs.

One 10+1 ticket has almost exactly a 30% chance of at least one rainbow. Better to think of them as an off-banner 70% blue ticket. The odds are still not in your favor.

They should remove time limits. I.e. you could finish em when ever you want, not like you are forced to do them in 2 weeks time.
Nowadays good way to get 3000 - 3500 free Lapis (plus extra stages). I just don't like time limits.

I agree. Considering what they're supposed to be - additional story for some of the BE characters - it seems counterintuitive to make them time limited. Release them alongside the banner sure, but there's no real reason for them to disappear afterwards.

I should just do one point a day when it starts so I can get through it instead of having to power through on the last few days.

How much HP do you guys aim for on your healers/supports? I've always aimed for 6k and then worked on stats after that, but I don't really have a reason for picking that number. Was wondering what the benchmark is for others.

Honestly I just want S2 characters mini story event for their new passive.
More MP regen for Fina, more HP/MP for Nichol, more ailment resist for Sakura, it's perfect.

Man, CG Nichol is the best MP battery. Double cast his Restorative Stance and never worry about MP again. Especially great in story events.

JP is finally getting the four fiends, I guess that's where they'll announce Golbez's 6* they promised almost one year ago.
Changes from GL so far :
Barbie is base 4*
Rubi is base 5*

5* BASE GOLBEZ YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
GIMME PLZ

You just know I'll pull hard for him in 9 months.

EDIT : Even if he ends up disappointing, history shall repeat itself.

Kourizan, would our Barbie be on a power level of 4* in Japan currently? Maybe they want it to be the same character but don't want to deal with powering her up immediately?

How is 5* base golbez supposed to be different from 3* base Golbez?

I don't have the details yet, the characters release in 5 days so we'll have every infos then.
Summary of the JP stream : here https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/8tzgfy/jp_niconico_live_29_626/

Edit : also there is a note about old units will get re-released like Golbez.

Yea. This is going to drive me insane. I can barely get one 5* unit. They expect me to get SIX fo them for a 7* STMR?!

But at least 7* wont be necessary for content for a while. But it will be painful to see everyone on my friends list showcasing 7* units.

Isn't it just 4 for an STMR? 2 for the 7* and 2 more for each 50% of the STMR itself? If I've been lied to I've got some people to "thank", now.

Also, I keep flipping between hoarding tickets and just using them if the banner is remotely interesting.

The story in this game is amusingly awful. The unnecessarily convoluted plan to get Elbis or whatever out from under the temple door he was holding up was hilarious.
