FF:BE - Let Them Eat Mogcake

[Teryu]

Because I hate myself and this is the best form of torture.

Yeah. Also because it's cheaper than other games that I can't really afford.

[Alvinho]

People already at rank 164 wtf, lol.

[Teryu]

What the fuck how, unless they were using lapis refreshes then what the fuck is the point?

[Malithar]

Apparently the game kept track of your total rank exp regardless if you were sitting at the 150 cap or not. Some people logged into a situation where they'd gain one exp and gain 10+ ranks.

Serious question to BG: Why do you play this game?

Various reasons. Nostalgia, a legit (if cliche) story on a mobile game, continuous updates, a sense of constant progression, etc. They do enough to keep the addiction going, it's why when they got hacked things kinda fell apart cause they up and skipped a week of content without any communication. I started playing because I had about a hour a day where a mobile game could keep my attention. From there, it spiraled into pretty much a full blown game. I play it just as often if not more so than other games atm.

Just from a personal perspective, I don't think think the complaints are hateful in nature, but rather disappointment. While not all players are major FF fans, I'd wager most are of at least a title or two, if not all of them. Alim/Gumi hits things outta the park sometimes. Did you know that Shantotto's normal attack is Retribution, the staff WS from FFXI? How about Libertus' LB being the only useful thing he actually did in Kingsglaive? I could go on and on about their wins and the major beats they hit, but there's plenty of times they miss things or get things wrong, as well, like Shantotto's 5* tossing out the rhyme scheme. The complaints largely stem from a feeling of "you should know better" or "we expected more of you" rather than "gdmi fuck you Gumi."

Or like how Trance Terra's main attack is Chaos Wave... which is Maduin's esper attack in FFVI. That's an association I did not expect, and it really made me happy when I noticed it.


Thanks for the thoughtful and insightful reply.

Bought the bahamut explorer pack, no regrets. 500 lapis for an extra dragon killer and charm bangle more than worth

[Starby]

Man. I can survive mega flare but the war of attrition sees me dead at around 40%. I survived 3 megas on my best run but the follow up nukes are rough. 9s' maxed lb is awesome for the fight.

[arus2001]

Game isn't really on my priority play list, so while issues suck and not getting anything good from the gacha is a pain, I can at least appreciate that it tries to tell a story where a lot of other mobile games don't really give a shit. RK's hard content can be just as ass, where not pulling the right SBs can fuck you over. Nevermind that game's ability limits and the overall homogeny we see across the realms. Both have things I wish they'd do better. Same with FEH, FGO, Granblue, and so on, but shit is what it is.

[Oravis]

Since they nerfed this Nightmare boss I decided to try one more time for full rewards.

Same team as before minus Fryevia.
Almost wiped in the last turn since he healed mp and casted a spell right after but both A2s survived with 1hp and the others didn't take as much damage.

@Yuri
I don't know why I play this game. Gambling addiction maybe. FFRK was my go to for gacha games for over a year and I loved it. Thought the difficulty was much more fair than FFBE's trials and such.
But I grew tired of that game since it didn't have much variety in it's events imo. I especially got tired of it after beating that ridiculous boss for the anniversary.

So once I dropped that, FFBE was my go to for mobile games. I like the sprites, the nostalgia and the battle system. I just think the balancing for bosses and the ideas they try to come up with for these fights are stupid sometimes.

[Teryu]

Still can't do it even after they nerfed it. It doesn't help that 99% of the morons on my friendslist don't have confuse resist on.

Edit: Really starting to feel what everyone else is talking about now, between losing all my lapis on worthless pulls with horrendously low drop rates and the content getting actively worse and more whale oriented I'm not having fun anymore.

[DFJS]

Managed to pull a pirate Jake today. Is white witch Fina worth getting? I have tillith and Refia but no ayaka. If not I think I might skip daily pulls.

[Alkar]

White Witch Fina is more of a SPR based nuker+ mana battery. If you need any of those give it a shot, she souldn't be that hard to pull given she's the only 4* on the banner. We also don't know if dailies will switch to the new banner yet.

[Yuri-G]

bah is there a new banner? I am just starting back up with like 0 lapis, I was hoping for a chance to grab INicky

[Byrthnoth]

The banner should replace FFXV, so you can still work on iNichol

[Alkar]

I. Nichol's banner will be up for another week. You could also pull one off-banner even if dailies switch but chances are low

[Yuri-G]

ok good. I'll probably spend a bit on him... we all remember what happened with Ling :X

[theshun]

I like the turn-based FFBE vs the ATB FFRK. FFBE feels more like problem solving than FFRK. Yeah, we have A-Teams in both but my FFRK A-Team hasn't changed in ages and FFBE has me using different units/strategies almost every event.

As for the Skeleton King, I think Gumi coded his MP stuff incorrectly. Either, his calc of MP:MAG was too high or he should have MAG based on MP at start of round despite siphon (it would be added next round).

And, Yuri, you can always borrow an iNichol.

[Alkar]

Dailies remained on the old banner :D

[Starby]

Bahamut down! I one shotted him using Zyrus' LB.

Orlandu
Agrias+2
Soleil
Delita
Zyrus
Friend Trance Terra(She was my insurance policy, I never even used her)

Spirit break, magic buff, chain with holy explosion and cap the chain with Zyrus. Easy peasy. Hardest part was building the lb bar before entering the fight. I equipped germinas boots for escape so I could shake a few crystals loose, glee, repeat.

I recommend practicing the chain on the dummy. You need to use Zyrus' LB before you start the DR chain. Similar to using a Flood MB in Kuftal.

Edit: I'm sharing my Zyrus now. If ya'll want I can put up Delita for the spr break

[Prothescar]

Spoiler: show

Thanks to your Zyrus, Starby, I got him down. Was trying a few hours ago and reset the fight 20+ times but my Zyrus is a bit too weak to do it himself, I was only able to get him down to 22% with his LB. Yours secured my victory.
