Only Faris 15CP on half pull, wanted to try my luck at Squall's WoI weapon but I don't have his EX so it's not that important.
Looks like I'll have 35k gems ready for Cait Sith / WoL's EX (I'd bet it'll drop Monday with Interlude), really hope my luck will turn around this time.

The stream worth watching? I don't usually watch announcement streams like Nintendo Direct for example, but I did watch the first global FFRK stream and I was heavily disappointed. Not in the content, but it was poorly done since Global is afterthought for that game.

So like is the stream pretty cool, well put together and somewhat exciting? Or should I just wait for the cliff notes from you guys talking about it here?

Would just wait for the TLDR, unless your into the raffles or wanna know what content is dropping asap.

Question: Does the support items, like double exp, keep ticking even when you log or does the timer pause?

Keeps on ticking when logged off.

I started watching the streams 2 months ago and I don't regret, it's fun time and they interact with the chat so if you have nothing better to do, there's that.
The news confirmed a special surprise in addition to 1st anniversary stuff so I'm excited.

Debated whether it was worth throwing resources at Squall's WoI weapon since I have his 15/35/EX.

Fuck it, throw some tickets.

3 tickets.

When you guys say wol, are you saying he has a weapon like the Warrior of Light? That's what wol means to me in FF world.

(Madvin_a - Thanks replies!)

Yeah they're special weapons thaat are for min/maxing. They don't actually improve the base abilities, but give minor buffs and whatnot.

Squall's WoI weapon gives him extra iBRV/mBRV when over 80% HP, which is nice but not necessary.

While some like Laguna or Zidane give off party auras that increase everyone's ATK/mBRV when they inflict a debuff. The best thing about these aura's is that they're "invisible" (aka they don't take up a buff slot). Which makes them quite powerful.

Last question I swear, since not wanting to turn this into a Newbie FAQ. Is there a limit to how many buffs/debuffs you can have? I've seen 6 I think before, but my level of play hasn't reached the point where I would need to know this yet.

Edit: Thanks Kouriozan

Yeah it's 6 buff/debuff at once, new ones will push the leftmost non-framed buff/debuff out, resfreshing or getting a stronger already existing one won't.

I agree that they're fun too. I try to watch them when I can.

Lion LC Monday, let's hope Interlude comes with it since it's the day after the maintenance.
Guess we'll have the answer in 3 hours.

I'm excited for the stream. I hope the announcement is worth it though some are expecting KH3 collab which would be kind of disappointing considering KH barely acknowledges the FF stuff now. My hope is early Rinoa release since VIII's Anniversary is coming up.

This was pretty great except the question part. There is so many better questions that should have been answered but oh well. Everything else was great.

Still hoping they do something for VIII Anniversary in 2 1/2 weeks.

Oh wow, Beatrix?!?! That's like a dream character right there. This all sounds fun and amazing. I'm selfishly hoping this doesn't kick-off until the exact anniversary date because my account still hasn't been recovered so I don't want to miss anything.....although with the way things have been going with their tech support, that'll probably still happen anyway. Sigh.

Howdy, was a day 1 player for this game, played for the first month or so and have played on and off again over the past year (mostly off).

Currently making my way through the story bits and have started ch.7 today. I've been spending SP in some of the events, mainly farming some artifacts which I understand are useful for providing passives? Have farmed for OK and Hope in that soon to expire event.

My party usually involves Squall, Cloud and OK/Vivi

Besides story content, is there anything else I should be hitting as I play catch up? Any upcoming banners worth pulling on? I'm currently at around 30k gem thingys.

Honestly, I'm so excited about Beatrix. I just hope that an ex I like is on those 2 banners but still 6 free multi pulls sure is something GREAT. This game really is loved by those devs. In my other gacha games we rarely get these chances for free gems.

Cait Sith is the next big banner to pull on for his buffs. For Squall do you have his 35cp? If not you can pull on the current banner for his WoI and hopefully also grab his 35cp since he is ridiculously powerful and doesn't require his EX to be amazing. We don't know enough about Beatrix to see if she how will play but she could end up being quite good since we will be receiving her before JP which is a first for Global players.

Definitely make sure to log in every day as we will be receiving great rewards and also make sure to do quests to get daily rewards. I would personally recommend artifact grinding only for events since it's much faster to grab large amounts especially with drop boost. Make sure to tackle character events to the best you can and ALSO make sure to do the current LC's for the bonus rewards which currently is Cater but will soon be Lion.

I was a day one players of FFRK, I stopped about 18 months in, I have like 600 mythrils in case I want to play it again but they added so much stuff it's confusing as hell and makes me scarred lol.

I don't think it was clear in my order of comments but the last statement about fun game and good people, lol was referring to DFFOO.

As for FFRK, the prices are more fair and it is what pulled me into mobile gaming, but after 3 years I am burned out so it gets little of my time.

But DFFOO, having fun with it and love the way the game makes me feel so powerful with the glass breaking sounds and big booms and overkill's in huge letters etc. Also absolutely love the graphics.

I could never get into FFRK, I remember trying it a bunch of times but I would always end up getting bored and eventually dropping it.

Record Keeper is good but the game has so much going on that it's a bit difficult to enjoy as much as I used to. The best part imo about the game is the record dungeons where you replay through each series and get to see everything redone with beautiful sprites. The game has so many banners and relics that it's overwhelming and the difficult content is time consuming especially if you're like me and only focus on pulling a particular games relics. I have 90% of the VIII relics in that game and it totally bothers me I don't have a means to grab the ones I miss lmao but overall I think record Keeper is still too expensive considering they have never had sales on gems and it's quite annoying to build up mythril stash once you're out.

I still play the game and do my dailies but my only focus in RK now is VIII events and dungeons/banners while before I at least tried to consistently get all content done.

Opera Omnia: I got 161 score on Relm event with Squall, Selphie and Terra with a Squall friend and Ifrit summon. It wasn't too bad and thankfully it means I'm now done all missions and achievements in the game. Now it's crystal grind and leveling up my rank until the anniversary stuff starts.

Well damn, looks like launch meta is here.
I did the last battle in 25 turns, no HP damage, 3 breaks, 150k score /170k needed for the 500 gems even with souble Squall and Selphie,
I won't do better for now sadly, Cait Sith will be needed for sure.

Edit : trying to not rage.

Edit 2 : Ashe in team and spam Solid Barrel with both Squall did it.

I just did it with Squall x2, Selphie and Terra + Bahamut and hit 175k and I barely used Terra so most people with those three should hit the high score.

Anyways Lion LC DONE. I'm going to do a bit more crystal grinding before Cactaur goes away and make sure I have enough for any potential VIII awakenings coming up.

183K using Lion (Zidane MLB dagger), MLB Squall, MLB Selphie, Ifirit w/Friend Squall. Selphie/Squall are too stronk. Pretty glad I got it in one go.

Done with LC. Gonna level Lion and continue waiting for Cait...

Good Morning Guys.

Did the half price pull, got a Y'shtola 35 and a 15, first one was mlb-dupe, second was third copy, so now have mlb everything Y'sh except for her 4* star weapon. Also got Lion's 15cp.

Small status update, and a question -


Have about 10 battles left in Chapter 10 Hard to "Complete" and then that will only leave Chapter 11 Hard to master. Not having too much trouble still with my "A Team".


The question -- I have about 20 Armor Tokens, should I use them here and there for people like Vaan 51/52 with both weapons, and Bartz 51/53 with both weapons, but only have their 4* Armor (could really use the CP) and slowly fill out everyone with at least one copy of 5* armor....

...or is the (seemingly) smart choice to just hoard those tokens for when I have a new awesome person like say Cait Sith, and I can quickly MLB their 5* armor? I am assuming it's the latter, but I would love someone to tell me how it would make sense to give some of these other guys more CP.
