FF:BE - A Skinner box with plot

This company, I swear >.>

What happened? Did I miss something?

[dasva]

Lol.. we only get one UoC ticket from the KM shop in GL. Figures Gumi had to mess with this even more...

Not only that but only the more expensive one... and yeah some people are still white knighting hard over on reddit. Guys it's not set in stone Gumi isn't messing with us this is just um... something yeah. It's your fault for having reasonable expectations!

What happened? Did I miss something?

In the JP version they get two UoC tickets with each KM event (technically three now but the last one was only added recently). We skipped 4 tickets already in GL due to delays and now ,thanks to today's datamine, we find out that FFXI's shop will only have one ticket available. Considering this is the only way to get them regularly it's a huge blow requiring you to wait 10 months to even pick one unit.

Shit, i forgot to grab my daily mission rewards before maint last night. Fuck.

shamelessly stolen from gamefaqs. too good not to share (and who goes to gamefaqs, seriously?)

Spoiler: show

There was a young intern from Gumi
Who proposed as such to his roomie
"If we remove their ticket
and tell them to stick it"
Then maybe they'll MAP_TEXT_550411504210030

Naw it's definitely gunna be in one of their "50%" off $40-50 deals. Probably throw in a couple 1% trust moogles and a max KMM too

finish Runferia Castle, NEXT points to Varved Wharf, lose about 50 NRG playing random Varved Wharf and Runferia Castle stages. finally get the game to progress by re-defeating the boss of Runferia Castle.


I'm just about done with this game. between all the 7* drama, the UoC drama, and the game-breaking bugs, it's like... why am I playing this again?

[arus2001]

I've been bitter for a while, but it's more because certain high-end content is either bullshit with RNG or out of reach because I don't have the right characters. Which is pretty much the same problem I have with FFRK and magicite tier+ stuff.

[Teryu]

Is diabolos 3* supposed to be absolute bullshit?

[Prothescar]

Without 2 great, geared to the nines tanks/powerful support, yep. I don't know what kind of gear it takes to eat his tankbuster without evasion but I gave up trying.

[dasva]

Short answer is from everything I've read yes the normal move sets are a bit rng annoyances....

However if you can muster the dps you can ignore the normal move sets and the rng associated with them. So no death, no physical attacks, no dispel and only deal with threshold attacks (note you'll need to be able to skip 60% one) which is basically just status ailement/stop protection each turn, graviga t1 and aoe dark dmg the following turns... so basically dark resist mystea and the other 4 slots dedicated to helping you kill. I recommend 2-3 chainers 0-1 finisher and a buffer.

[Teryu]

I was chaining 2 orlandus, one with 100% demon slayer and a friend and I was only taking off 3% per turn. I'm not sure how to make my basch 100% evade and also death proof and also 100% provoke.

[dasva]

Physical damage is a trap. Thing has 170 def and only 30 spr. Even with def break and taking advantage of light weakness you'll deal less than someone with similar offensive stats dealing dmg based on mobs spr.

2 1400-1500 mag mages doing DC tornadoers (dark fina pretty great for this being able to throw in CD move too) with Nichol buffs can do ~20% (will depend on killers of course and can definitely crank out more spark chaining). Obviously if you have someone that can DC tornado/aeorga and/or have a 3rd chainer can make do with a lot less mag to do same amount but keep in mind you want to skip the 60%... similarly having Rinoa throw some Apocs into the middle of the chain can let you do a t2 kill potentially. I can provide a Rinoa if you need

Veritas of the light and Lila chaining also completely wreck it but yeah I have zero of either so

Used two 4* tickets for bonus units: Joachim+ Shantotto II. I'll take it!

Edit: Farm ELT, they messed up and we got JP energy costs for the stages but GL currency drop rates (which are higher). Until they fix it this is the best stage for currency.

[Azat]

Did two 10 pulls and tickets, got 1 rainbow that turned into a Queen...ended up with 3 joachims and bunch of kupipi

[Alkar]

And they fixed the NRG bug lol.... meanwhile that friend list is still broken after 4 (?) maintenances.

[DFJS]

Had to give up on the marchenko fight cause his titan shield wont go away. Didn't use anyone with lightning attack at all and after 8 turns of not being able to do shit I said fuck it. Any suggestions. Party was lid, Wilhelm, ayaka, sephiroth and a friend orlandu.

Are you guys going to grind out that 150k UoC ticket? I'd like it but man that's alot of currency to grind.

[Patriarch]

14 tickets
5 4ex tickets
10+1
Daily 1/2 and free 5%

No rainbow, about ready for break time
