Can't see the belts in 8 bits

[Dimmauk]

Yeah I cringe everytime I see my Wakka fire off a bow.

I'm using a chakram on wakka. Close enough

So I got my first 4* weapon and its a hammer... Are there any non-MC characters that can use hammer?

PLD Cecil can. He's slow as molasses, but he'll make it up with the 4* weapon.

If I can unlock him! The Summit boss just wiped me...

Tangentially related, but if you are on Android you can sign up to take occasional surveys from Google and in exchange get store credit. I'll get 1-2 a week, from $.10 to $.75 each, which is a neat way to build up enough credit to "buy" in-game currency or a cheap app.

whaaaaaaaaaaat? this is amazing, thank you!

also, I'm struggling to get into this game like you guys have. I enjoy it well enough, but the gameplay is just so meh. it's slow and laggy at times, the framerate issues are mind-boggling for something with such low-end graphics, and the gamepaly itself is just... eh. not that much going on.

it's like PAD but with gameplay that is far less involving. the nostalgia factor keeps me coming back on occasion but that's about it.

just my thoughts.

Playing this has caused me to get an emulator and play old ff games on my phone.

[Dimmauk]

Dark Attack is the only Blind currently available. It can be used by Tyro, Tidus, and Wakka.

I need 3 more Dark orbs. Anyone know best place to farm dark orbs?

absolutely loving this game. i think Square Enix has been rather clever with approaching mobile gaming and targeting each mobile genre they can find.
We can ignore FFATB, which was less of a game and more of just an app that encourages you to clean your screen. It did give us a tastes of some 3D to 2D ff sprites tho.

Pictlogica was probably FF's answer to mobile puzzle-RPGs like PAD, battle camp and tetris monster.. but the biggest problem i see is that they chose to use Picross as the puzzle element and 5x5 picross gets boring really fast. While the gameplay does get harder, theres essentially very little that you get to do strategically in battle. theres also very little that is FF about it apart from the sprites and music. But the nostalgia was pretty good and they featured a ton of characters. 10x10 and 20x20 boards are fun too if you like picross. Game crashes a lot for me tho. It also never released outside of Japan anyway.

And now we have FFRK, which i suppose is FF's answer to games like Brave Frontier(?), which are more RPG like, but catered to mobile gaming. The awesomest bit here is that the RPG elements are classic FF style. ATB and command input. the gameplay is very decent and the customization is great. and to appeal to fans they make use of nostalgia and "recreate" moments in FF games to be played out here, going as far as to use the same strategies required. very very clever. it also makes you want to go play the older FF games.

my biggest concern now is that i foresee myself playing this.. very very often for the next few months.. because i'd want to be up to date and ready to take on the challenge events for my fave FF characters. They've been rather slow at rolling out new characters (which seems understandable) and theres only been 22 challenge events thus far in japan. The existing number of classic/elite dungeons seem more than enough to keep people occupied for now.. but we know more are to come.

looking forward to more classic dungeons and challenge events. also they did say at some point they're looking into adding FFXI and FFXIV stuff as well, so thats got me hopeful.

edit: @Dimmauk, try fabul castle elite.

Thursday's Hard dungeon gives Dark Orbs at a pretty decent rate.

What are you playing it on? I don't have any issues with lag and I'm using an S4.

Rata said that he does crash sometimes going through the equipment screen; maybe it's an issue with certain OS or phones?

[Ratatapa]

It crash alot on Equipement screen when i scroll if i don't do the little trick

sometimes when i enter a dungeon too but that's rare

[Ardrial]

Samsung Galaxy note 4 here. Crashed maybe twice so far. Its not been too bad for me.

[Dimmauk]

Note 3 and Ive never crashed

Floor 70 kill the dog asap then blind the buff if you are weak, then rush it

Good luck getting Pld Cecil, that last boss wrecked me and I still can't clear it somehow. The fucker just spams darkness attacks that just bombard me.

The last dungeons in Shinra aren't hard if you have multiple Thundaras (I had 3, 2 on Rydia and 1 on Tyro), and another ranged (I was using Wakka)
