Mobius coming West! Collab chances increased even more!

Mana also was in the West and we still didn't see a Mana collab when the time came, so until then i'm gonna assume we won't see this one even if it releases to Global.

We got some gear translation of mobius event on the official site tho

They only translated a few pieces and haven't translated/added any characters other then WoL, it doesn't mean we're 100% gonna get a collab.

Edit: and remember they did something similar for when we were nearing Mana and we still didn't get it.

Edit2: Seems its all WoL and FF1 gear, so more then likely it means that if we end up not getting the collaboration, they'll probably put in its place a FF1 event to introduce Garland and Serah since they were introduced in the Mobius Collab.

I kind of view it 2 ways. And Mobius isn't really a collaborative event.

Us getting the items translated is pretty telling. DeNa has to concede they're going to have to start giving us collab events in certain instances or else they're going to run out of event 'spacing' in relation to JP or risk the global version being content dry.

Or they're just going to use the JP only collab event spacing to allow us to better catch up to JP, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I wouldn't say no to seeing content QoL and events in a few months instead of straight up "LOL, nope, 6 month wait, go fuck yourself."

Again: the Mana collab was a special case because the game they were promoting has not been released in the West despite them using sprites from old Mana games for RK. Mobius is actually coming over and it's a pretty big game as well (the Mana game was shut down not too long ago in JP iirc). They also didn't have 4 new characters in the Mana collab
I'm positive we're getting both this and the Dissidia collab.

Fair enough, but DeNa only says Mobius is coming to the West "Soon" so I doubt its going to come out in a few weeks, also the new Dissidia (which the collaboration was promoting) hasn't even had a release date announced yet for us, so I doubt we'll see it unless its a generic "FF Dissidia" event, so until I see them officially announce "Hey Guys! You're getting Collaborations too!", I'll continue to doubt we'll get them.

Also like I said earlier, they may just do a FF1 event to introduce the characters in place of Mobius.

[Uzor]

Dissidia would be extremely surprising if we didn't get it considering it's a popular game in the West (except for the latest one which isn't released yet). Mobius we very well may get, but not necessarily at the time JP did.

[Alkar]

The only thing the Dissidia collab carries over from the new one is the music, everything else can easily be passed as a generic Dissidia event. Also Garland is reissued in Dissidia so it'd be weird to see them skip Mobius or delay it. I don't think it really matters anyway, the XIV collab was released in a weird timeframe too but we still got it.

[Kirbyprime]

Just started doing the XI dungeons... gah, the nostalgia is there alright. Goblin trains, Crawlers, fucking sound aggro bats. All they really need to do is make a Crawler's Nest Dungeon with 4 stages of 5 crawlers, then the boss battle starting with a prompt saying "Crawler Train incoming!" and facing 5 Soldier Crawlers.

Got 0 greens drop today, only 10k atm might have to do some refreshes tomorrow

[Kirbyprime]

Hummm, which orbs are most needed now anyways? I haven't bought any of the major ones this refresh yet since I don't really know which skills are worth honing in the future. Obviously the best case would be "get everything every time" too bad that probably wouldn't work.

I'd say at this point wind is a most definite since every good 5 star uses it nowadays.

That was my point though, they can keep skipping the collab events so we catch up to JP. Thats all fine. But when we do, and theyre still skipping collab events then global will seem content dry compared to JP.

Either they start giving us the events and putting forth the effort, or allow us to catch up to JP entirely and risk global dying off faster due to lower content levels.

As per orbs, Wind and Power are top billing IMHO. Pick a 5* skill for a character class you like that doesn't necessarily have a strong SB.

No it won't lol, JP still gets regular events even during collabs, so even if we were to catch up, we'd have same regular events are we do now alongside JP, but while they get collaborations, we'll be getting global exclusive shit like weekend orbfest to compensate.

There's always a few days delay when a collab happens. If we ever get on par with JP we might end up waiting a whole week (or more) without a single event or they need to come up with something to replace said collab and give global players stuff to do.
Heck the Dissidia collab occupied like half a month of content when it came out. Not like we need to worry about this anytime soon... we're still like 5-6 months behind with events.
However the recent FFX/FFXIII release in JP is kinda weird so I'm not sure if it's just this one time or they're gonna start releasing more events for some reason.

So? I doubt DeNa will leave everyone high and dry even if we did catch up, they don't NEED to give us collabs in order to get us to still play, so idk why people think that they HAVE to give us collabs, i'm sure if we were running the risk of catching up, they'll change the format to where JP still gets collabs but events are still on a same schedule, while those who play Global will get exclusive events like "Weekend Orbfest" (haven't seen that in JP so i'm pretty sure thats our Collab RIGHT there). I mean its not like this is DeNa's first mobile game ever .

I'm sure DeNa will never let Global run out of content guys, remember how they did FFT banner change to get more money? We're a cash cow to them, just like JP is.

[Uzor]

Or they could always throw in "revenge events" in place of collabs.

With multiplayer coming out, I doubt we'll run the risk of running out of content anytime soon even if we do catch up. Besides, we're 5-6 months behind JP content-wise, and that's not 5-6 months worth of collabs. It's not like they'll wake up one day and realize that "oh fuck, today global is caught up to JP! What are we to do?!". It'll be well over a year until we're caught up to JP at the current pace.

[Alkar]

It's highly hypothetical obviously but I'd rather have collabs carried over instead of reissues of old bosses with no changes made to them. Orb rushes are fine but they don't replace events with new characters or crystals... remember how long we had to wait for Edward, Firion and Ingus? And Faris is gonna suffer the same fate apparently.
There's nothing stopping them from releasing these events, especially when these games are part of the same franchise and are coming west eventually (Dissidia is all but confirmed at this point). There's really no comparison between Final Fantasy and Mana in terms of popularity over here and SE surely has all the interest in promoting a new FF mobile game within another FF mobile game because it's the same audience.
It may get delayed a bit to promote it closer to release but that's it. Dissidia might even get a console announcement at E3 (although I think development isn't proceeding that smoothly unless I remember their announcements wrong).

[Classikmage]

Woo! That was much easier than the previous Sunday's! Just finished maxing my 4 new LVL. caps from last Monday. 65 Cait Sith, 80 Yuffie, 80 Sephiroth(lode2), 65 Krile(lode 1). Only took an hour and 5 mythril. Probably could have reduced it to 3 mythril if I had waited until tonight to burn mythril, but oh well. :D

At the end I had everyone capped except 77 Sephiroth so I tried something out. I took everyone out but him, replaced his EXP RM with Loner RM and had him solo ++ Sunday daily. even without EXP RM he was still getting a whole level every time I finished a battle. 90 stamina later he was 80.

Loner RM was definitely needed though, more for the defense bonus than the attack. the hits did add up pretty decently even with Loner equipped. But not enough to worry about with Loner on. I just zerged through it with R2 Fire Blossom which got it's uses reset every time I finished a battle since he was getting so much EXP, lol.

Bring on the 13-2 event!! :D

EDIT: Oh yeah, and LVL 50 Shanttoto that I got up with eggs I got while burning the other 4 people up(almost forgot about her).
