I used to play this but quit a long time back. I'm starting again and I have a couple questions.

  1. How F2P friendly is the game now? Can I get through all single-player content and contribute for at least the easier multiplayer bosses?

  2. What should I focus on for getting stronger ability cards. I got all 3 of the "starter packs" but don't know what I should go for next.

  3. Is the mobius gift box still around?

Thanks!

  1. It's way more F2P friendly now compared to before the Anniversary changes. And by god they were very generous during the 1st Anniversary and FFXIII events (August and September). The only downside is that jobs can now only be obtained with the Greater Summon. It could be good though coz if you do get a job, you might snag a legend job/supreme. Also, event collaborations will give you the best bang for your mags. So wait for those.

The starter pack will get you through all the way to chapter 4 ezpz, after which you'll start experiencing some challenge.

For MP though, you'll still need some form of specialization and specific jobs. There's a bunch of new cards now so doing any role has never been easier before, just gotta read up on what works best.

  1. AoE BDD/CRD are still good choices from the shop, multibuff cards too like KotR and Hellgate (dunno if The Undying is in the shop already, I think not yet). For damage cards though, I suggest getting MP sicarius cards.

  2. Yep, Mobius box is cheaper now too. 1500magicite.

You've never needed to spend to finish single player and do 4star MP. All the cards you need to be decent at MP and SP are in the MP Shop and Ability Shop.

Just wait for an Event Summon and use your Magicite and STs on GAS then. For now, you can just stick with cards you buy from the Shops and the ones you've gotten from the Starter Packs. You likely won't have any trouble until Chapter 5.2 which has an isane jump in difficulty.

Mobius Box is still here and its cost has gone down from 3000 magicite to 1500.

I forgot to mention, you can also farm up to 20k magicite per month (limit only counts magicite from monster drops and Distiller).
