Oh wow! That's a lot of stuff! I just logged in for the day.
I'm a little more excited, because this is the first event where I have a clue what's going on, and what's important! Yay for learning! Trying so hard to make up for basically a whole year I said the game wasn't for me. This leveling thing will be perfect for building up synergy people as WarAdept and Madvin_a pointed out to me I needed.
jarekx - Still playing? Was happy to see a familiar face restart this game late like I did.
Yea, still around. Squall doing the damage since i got all his and Selphie's stuff from that banner. Maxed out those two + Terra and that seems like a pretty good team at the moment. Just grinding out chapters / hard modes and then eventually going into the lost chapters to do the same. No idea who I'm gunning for next.
Just letting everyone know how much this gatcha sucks.
Started with 170k gems.
Zidane EX acquired after 100k used up...
That was like 6 months of playing the game gone in 5 mins
Do you try to run an all FF9 group when you can? Or just for collecting purposes?
Bonus Question: Do/Would you buy alt ff9 costumes?
whens Red XIII, Kimahri, Basch or Rikku :(Aphmau from XI is getting added to the JP version - she's not much of a fighter in the game, so I can we can expect some support skills to make up for it.
I wonder if OO will be around long enough for it to branch out beyond XI's "mission girls"...
All of the IX cast suck in DFFOO. They have their moments to be adequate during their events, but it's not like theyre the VIII cast who seem to dominate the meta.
It's just for collection purposes. You'll get nowhere in endgame if you play favourites (unless your favourite just happens to be one of the 5 characters out of 100+ who can work).
I would never pay for these games. It's like $90 AUD for a costume in DFFOO. I could buy something like the latest Smash Bros or Kingdom Hearts twice over and have way more mileage.
On topic, I was all excited to do the cactuars yesterday, but the exp sucks unless I guess you get a rare. But I'm still new, so who knows if I know what I'm talking about. I guess I was expecting some crazy amount of exp. I'll focus on it later, and run all the support items and see how it treats me.
This is me too because I mostly focus on VIII characters and so far not a single one uses white crystals. Yellow crystals seem to be the most popular for VIII characters so I'm saving them for the rest of the awakenings. Thankfully Selphie is already done and the rest will be Raijin/Irvine/Quistis.I had to start bringing up random white crystal characters levels higher because I was about to hit the white crystal cap lol
If I get Serah's 35CP this won't be a problem.
Ohh nice! Congrats! I just did a co-op with someone who had Y'sh's EX fully maxed (and honestly haven't even read everything her EX does), but it's by far the coolest looking EX weapon yet and her animation is beautiful. Kind of makes me want to chase it now lol.
Well so on a whim I did some tickets on the banners and got Gilgamesh cp15 on first pull, then Penelo 15cp within 5 pulls, then got Y'shtola ex in 4 pulls.
Wow. Now to learn how good this is.
I'm so mad it took me 100k gems to get an EX this round, it's made me look at the game icon in disgust and haven't bothered to spend my stamina/bells.
Thank you! Well I always pull for any favourites and Y'shtola's EX is really damn good.
You will need her 35 and 15 cp as well but wow congratulations! I couldn't get the ex on tickets like I usually get lucky lol.
So here's how my last five minutes went.
I loaded up OO, got my daily logins, then was like ehhh, maybe I should go for some other Y'sh weapons based off what you said. I have 25 tickets at the moment, and 14k gems, but don't want to touch the gem stash. So I was like, I'll just do tickets until I get a gold or something. (On the banner that has Y'sh's other 5*s)
Very first pull Y'sh 35cp. - Wow Awesome! Is that the one I needed? Checks spreadsheet, UGH, no, I had 1 copy of that already, ok well I will LB it then. Still need the 15 cp weapon, I'll push my luck even though I should stop there.
Next pull 3*, Next pull 3*, next pull Y'sh 15 cp!
I'm telling you, I'm not usually this lucky. I have the Armor tokens to go get her armor too. I guess I can go all in. This game seriously wants to hand me her stuff. Before I loaded up, and actually before I got the EX two nights ago or whenever...all I had for her was 1 35cp, and her 4* armor MLB. Now I have at least 1 of everything (as soon as I go get her 5* armor).
I'm also torn on who to put up for my friend support. I currently have Squall up, but I'm getting A LOT less support bonuses for him - admittedly my Squall has ho-hum artifacts, but he does have his EX. When I had Tidus up I was getting over 100 a day but he doesn't have any synergy right now so seems like he won't be much help. I could go back to Terra, but I don't have her EX, so I'm thinking Cloud it is. I have crap artifacts for him too but with all his weapon passives you can't equip them anyway.
I stand corrected on the exp from the Cactaur event.
I just kept it going without volume on this side while I was working on some online college courses, but I noticed one of the battles gave me 18 or 19k exp. Also had several that were 10k. I was using the double exp supports. Didn't pay too close of attention but it was nice when it did happen. I think one person went 31-35 on me in one time.
Now if I could just find infinite weapon/armor mats. I was doing really well with the Winter Waltz but it's gone. It's only an issue because I'm trying to get every single item maxed which I imagine all you have done, but of course once its done, it'll be easy to maintain. I'm sure I could farm a specific battle if I googled it, but just haven't put forth the effort to look yet.
THANK YOU!! I was looking for this thing about a week ago and could not find it anywhere. This thing is so super helpful. I haven't put much effort into artifacts admittedly because they can drive me bonkers but I'm at that point where I really want to max a few characters to full potential.If you want an artifact guide you can look here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16uOOuBP9Rn85fX2cXNbseUnQry1b7oEQxOmTuaFbbU0/edit Also, artifacts are much easier to farm now especially with Squall supports as Renzo at 60/60 usually one shots all 3 waves and if you have Squall built it should be much easier for you! As for a support character I change mine every once in awhile but usually I go with favourites or something I recently pulled. Like now mine is Y'shtola and she got over 130 uses probably cause of heretics XD.
