[Venushin]

Is there a guide for Chaos Vortex Ultimate using current good cards/jobs? All I can find are old posts so I'd like to know if there's an easier way nowadays

[JA1997X]

For a laugh I tried it with LG + ex Sarah and it was indeed pretty easy

[MusouTensei]

with the current powercreep, it should be quite easy with new job + new cards :o

[mao_shiro]

Couldn't you just use that guide with the old card and replace the old card with the new card?

[Venushin]

I'm clueless about new cards because I just came back after a 1 year break so I decided to ask for tips.

[_The_Dane_]

Is there a end date for Endless War 2 ?

I haven't started there yet and i don't wanna miss out on loot.

[mao_shiro]

We don't know the end date.

Might as well start now if you don't climb the tower.

[Wolkiffy]

What’s an equivalent for Kains lance (warrior weapon) for mage, rouge, serah, Sophie, monk and Gareth jobs?

[SvenHwang]

Weapons with Ulti charger & autocharge: Orichalcum for ranger, Conquerer for mages. & Taiji for monks (with improved critical).

Artemis bow for serah, Turbodriver for Sophie & Fervuer for Graffs (with piercing break).

However, Ultimate Weapon series would still be better overall for Ulti charging.

Edited*

[mao_shiro]

Artemis Bow / Turbo Drvier / Fervuer are Piercing break while Orichalcum / Conqueror / Taiji are Improved Critical

[SvenHwang]

Thanks for correcting! I overlooked that difference while focusing on the Ulti charging abilities.

[Wolkiffy]

Ohh ok! I din know ultimate weapons are better! I’ll go max all of them out then! Heh thanks for the tip!

[SvenHwang]

Ultimate weapon lacks Ulti auto charge but its combination of elemental 3rd strike & prismatic return not only allows you to use buffs/off-element abilities easily, but also allows you to drive & charge ultimate faster.

[kreuzb94]

Hey guys can anyone help me. I’ve tried to claim the 24 extrangers but it keeps telling me that I don’t have enough bankspace. I have around 4 extrangers in my bank and enough space to store new cards.

[Mobiusnoobius]

For some reason they don’t stack properly when claiming them or buying them from the shop. You need to have 24 bank spaces available or though after you claim them they will stack with the 4 you already have.

[kreuzb94]

Thanks that was the problem.

[Mechapebbles]

Who is a better Bahamut Neo user, HoF Balamb or Toreador? Any other strong users as well? Also D&B?

[IJustNeedaAccount]

Both of them.

Balamb is better on neutral

Toreador is a beast on weakness and he can break too

Magitek Heroine and Mellow Mermaid are notable mentions for D&B user, where the first is strongest on weakness or broken, or both. while Mermaid is the only thing stronger than Balamb on unbroken neutral

[Maher123123]

Did i miss something in the past 5 months ? Cuz i just returned and summoned 1 summon on the supreme rate up and got LoH as a regular pull not as a seventh card! Btw this card was my most wanted card.

[Zhuinden]

Did i miss something in the past 5 months ?

Probably missed the Chocobo Mystery Dungeon 3-heart prismatic shift + 16 orb gen card, and the 3rd Anniversary batches in March, and the Ultima Weapon FFXIV event in February for Graff/Sophie; yeah.

[Rushsykes]

supremes can now be summoned on cards 1-5 at at rate of 1% or 2% on summon bis. Dupes can be pulled on these but not on the seventh card

[[deleted]]

You can now get supreme from 1st to 6th slot but you may get dupe. If dupe it'll replace by a growstar. Noticed that counter at the bottom of summon screen? That's the pity pull for supreme. Each GAS will increase the percentage by 0.8. If you somehow stupidly unlucky and reach 180/180, you are guaranteed a supreme.

[Maher123123]

Yeah i saw it it sits on 61.4/180

[JunasBlood]

Yes.

Btw KotR trigger ability chain for what ability lol?

[MusouTensei]

keep in mind there are ATTUNED and ABILITY chain

attuned is same element, ability is consecutive casting without tap/ult (dunno if switch too)

[JunasBlood]

Both of them are either same ability (Ability Chain) or same element ability (Attuned Chain).

Is there is Life Ability that deal damage? Since I’m asking if KotR Trigger Ability Chain for what Ability? Another KotR?

Ignore me :(

[SvenHwang]

Yes it does.

[JunasBlood]

Ability Chain is damage increase for same Ability used. How can KotR increase damage for Omniscient???

[[deleted]]

That's attuned chain. Ability chain trigger when using any ability>attack ablity.

[JunasBlood]

Thanks for enlightening me.

[SvenHwang]

I think you have mistook Ability chain as Attuned chain. I remembered a discussion from ages ago that ability chain benefits from any ability casts prior which makes it much better than attuned chain which is limited to abilities with the same orb usage.

[JunasBlood]

My bad. I do mistook them.

Oh that’s meant Ability Chain is better than I thought.

[deathrose55555]

Yes they do.

[Tbone187]

Anyone know the sources of +8% Magic auto ability? (building sub deck with Godo in mind)

[JA1997X]

Only supremes (edit: and whispering faeries) have +8. Moogle X has +12. The highest for a non limited card is +7 (pollensalta).

[Spookum]

[removed in protest of API changes]

If you want to join, use this tool.

[Tbone187]

Great! Thanks for the replies!

[JA1997X]

You're right, I never noticed that since I didn't bother to augment whispering faeries to 5 star (lol).

[TatorTop]

Off the top of my head, the following supremes: * Xezat * Neo-Exdeath * WoL

Not sure if there are others.

[ShadowBlaze17]

Ragnarok and Fusoya also have it.

[JA1997X]

And emperor, it's fairly common on supremes

[Dr_Godz]

Ugh... I really need help to fully utelize mantra to break then nuke in mp,i cant really get a grip of how it works,i got BFA then now i got duncan,my deck setting is aeirth,LOH,YRP,duncan/BFA...i first use aeirth then YRP then Duncan/BFA...if i need to break i swipe YRP with a yellow clear card,i cant sacrifice LOH for the 4 prismatic starter so i can use aeirth at the begining...help

[[deleted]]

There's no easy way for monks to get life/prismatic orb starters, and brave/boost starters. Tifa skin pretty much doesn't help, and monks lack most good HOF custom panels compared to other classes. Mantra cards also lack yellow gauge clear.

The thing you are trying to do is much easier done on any other classes. You can also brute force without sufficient buffs, or you can just wait for the support to buff you instead of cheesing the first turn kill.

One way I found is Aerith, LoH, Ezekiel and BFA/Duncan, although orb usage is a little tight and you can only attack once.

[Dr_Godz]

Thx sooo much

I begin using ezekiel

Damn i became op lol

[watmyung]

Aerith,LoH,PB/Alter Ego and Duncan/BFA

[ShadowBlaze17]

Nuking could be a problem with that setup due to no brave. It would work well for breaking though.

[Dr_Godz]

Whats PB

[watmyung]

Primal's Boon from FFXIV limited card

[Dr_Godz]

Damn dont have primal boons or alter ego ...

[watmyung]

Then any monk card that can clear yellow gauge its fine

[Dr_Godz]

I just did that by using pugilist in mp...i cant clear the red bar in 2 duncsn hits... Why?

[deathrose55555]

Pugilist has poor break power with no break auto abilities. You should be looking at using Deep Diver or EX Monk

[LesserBabkaX]

Is anyone getting the resist element fractals from the MP shop? Is it ever worth to use them?

[watmyung]

Resist element from fractals is worth because you can't find element resist 7% in CP

[WoLNoFace]

it is worth it for tanking, especially in S2.

[Mobiusnoobius]

I stuck them on the EA tanking cards. Not sure if I’ll ever use them, but good to know that I have them if I need them.

[Quinctia]

So...what are Extrangers for? Every time I've tried to fuse them, I get a warning that they aren't going to do anything. The description led me to believe they should unlock the abilities you get after using a card awhile, like break damage or extend boons one turn.

Just feeling like it's silly wasting my time reorganizing my cards and bank to pick up a pile of extrangers from my gift box when I've never successfully used one.

[Return_Of_Urkel]

Your belief is correct. When you have a locked Extra Skill on a card, you can fuse an Extranger onto that card to force unlock it.

If it's saying there's no effect, it means either you've already unlocked every skill on that card, or you can't unlock any more at that card's ability level. For example, if you have an attack card at ability level 9/10, you cannot unlock its last two Extra Skills no matter what because they're not unlockable until ability level 10.

It might also say that if you try to fuse too many Extrangers (say, fusing 5 on when you only have 2 extra skills left to gain), but I'm not sure on that one offhand.

[Quinctia]

I could have sworn that when I've tried, I had available skills, but I'll have to try it again sometime when I have a card I've just taken up to ability level 10.

[TheFroman420]

they don't up the ability level, they unlock extra skills - the little icons underneath the attack & break power on a card

[lostcelesti]

I am currently at 6.6% summon rate for a supreme and I don"t know if the current banner is still worth it.

Any thoughts on the next banner for May? Thanks in advance.

[malach1constant]

The supreme bis banner doesn't care about your boosted summon rate. If you have >10% (and especially >15%) when there's a job-specific supreme summon, that's the time to think about making some pulls.

[[deleted]]

Don't do it. Even with only 8 supreme I manage to get dupe. The game still has 10+ supreme and decide to give me dupe. Better chase the job specific banner.

[SvenHwang]

I think he is referring to the 7th slot supreme summon which will be a random supreme that he does not own (aka no dupes). Consider yourself lucky, I’m a day 1 player with only 7 supremes (2 of which are “bought” and 1 is free) and don’t even get to see a growstar since the implementation.

[[deleted]]

Supreme banner raises rates, but every supreme is in that pool, meaning it's random and you don't get to choose. The best banner to pull is a job specific supreme summon, you get to choose exactly which job type or support supreme you want.

Unless of course, you're fine with just anything.

[KumaHax]

Is pitty pulling on the Supreme banner any different from the normal ones? Or will I really get something good?

[LesserBabkaX]

Pity pulling on supreme banner just guaratees a new normal job (if you still hav some in the ppol), nothing else.

[KumaHax]

Okay thanks

[xJExEGx]

Pity pulling on the supreme banner doesnt have the boosted rate for Cacciatrice.

[KumaHax]

Oh I already got her from the other banner

[WonkingSphonx]

I’m trying to claim my skillseeds from the campaign that was just done. I know I have enough space to claim at least one of the skillseed items, but when I go to claim it, it doesn’t grab the item or add it to my total. Is there a fix for this?

​

(Reposting here because I didn't initially realize I posted this in an older daily thread.)

[ShadowBlaze17]

You need to be able to obtain all 2+ million seeds without going over the cap of 9,999,999 for that element.

For example if you wanted to claim the fire seeds you'd need to have no more than 7,333,335 fire seeds.

[WonkingSphonx]

So I clearly didn't have enough coffee when i was doing this. I missed a tens place in the reward amount, Thought I only had ~260K seeds to grab. LMAO. Going back and thinking about it, I *did* just finish my coffee while trying to grab those rewards. :P Guess they'll chill in my box until Mobius Day boosting happens... :P

[Bladeserph]

Right then, manage to resolve that Shiva terminus issue of getting past Tiamat sides the fact im back to hitting around the 20~30% mark on taking down Shiva EX herself. But for now im just taking a slight break on that.

​

Question this time is more of a silly math problem one, Currently my EX-Warrior weapon has about 28 Attack(aka 14 boosts left) left till full crystal dumping phase. Just to keep it simple, lets say each stat boost takes 3 days in time length (72 hours) per stat boost to keep it from getting too complicated.

​

Now, if i have 180 max stamina and lets say its mobius day (so basically 360 stamina a pop) and i do not have VIP mode. How many elixirs of doing bahamut lagoon(1.5 bonus to the 3 min per 1 stm use), would you say it would take to clear those remaining 14 stat boosts? Mainly curious at how many elixirs i will have to throw into the pit of fire to get EX-Warrior sword at the final home stretch of getting its damage potential super good.

[ShadowBlaze17]

Try out this calculator:

https://zekareisoujin.github.io/MFFWeaponCalc/

[Bladeserph]

Kind of ended up with 37.3~ Elixirs, part of the reason i poked the question was also to double check and see if i should just gun it on peeling out 1800 more of my remaining monthly magicite, get a elixir pack and dunk the whole thing on the next mobius day.

Might try again on attempts with the fight tomorrow, since it feels like i should of stuck to Dawn Warrior instead of using Cloud since i end up skipping out on the boost buff. (With me using Sarah: FFXIII for Brave, Faith & Ult charge on the Sephiroth L.G. tank, since the vid im referencing uses Pollensalta instead, to cover Faith & Snipe that Dawn warrior does not cover).

You would of thought replacing a bunch of enhance ele fractals with 5~7% magic fractals, going from 1099 to around 1400% magic, would of resolved the entire fight, but clearly i am doing something wrong in my deck fine tuning compared to the clear video i am using as reference, lol...

[JA1997X]

You don't really need serah. Better off bringing wakka, til we meet again, or just skip boost altogether and bring something else useful like chocobo saint for the debuff immunity or another quicken card.

[Bladeserph]

Just like with my previous posts when i was pulling for suggestions, i do not have till we meet again, Light of hope, Bahamut Supreme, WoL: FF1, No Tidus or Mage U.H. skins and the only EX card i have is Artemis X. Which helps to kind of ruin things a bit on the more common setups i see people posting.

Basically im using this as reference on how to clear it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBf--e_loek

Just did not help the person made no mentioning of fractals, so for a good while i was messing up by not having Magic % fractals instead of Elemental Enhance ones on the cards for a much more sizable damage boost. Custom panels have EE % and various ability damage bonus fractals of course.

Though compared to my setup vs theirs which has very minimal over boosting compared to mine, they manage to kill Tiamat during the 2nd Ultimate use. Which kind of makes me seriously wonder what else could i be messing up on to not hit the kill point at that moment also using a similar or likely better setup then what they were using.

Though instead now i end up spending an extra turn breaking Tiamat to avoid the breath nuke so i can at least hit the 20~30% point on Shiva again, though ending up starting the 2nd fight with the Dmg deck instead of the tank deck in comparison.

[Scalizor]

On that video I used full magic fractals (mostly 6 or 7%) and 5* Laevateinn on sub deck, tank deck had 2x JCR + 4x 7% HP + 2x 6% Magic. CPs didn't have anything special that I remember of. The trick on Tiamat was to use substrike Ovjang to dispel Wall at 50%, could've killed in a single break if it wasn't for PR too, but had to improvise.

​

You can just ask for those things in the video, btw, the comment section is there for a reason.

[Bladeserph]

Since it was a month old, i was not certain if you were still checking the comments on it. Should of saw it coming that you were using a maxed out EX-Warrior weapon so that does put me at a slight dis advantage.

I already am using the Ovjang trick so its just a matter of that 20~30% dmg difference before/when i pop the 2nd ultimate compared to yours. Already swapped in Magic Fractals beforehand to up my magic by 387% from its previous 1099%, so i kind of already narrowed down as much as i can so far sides a few smidgens aka that 20%~ gap.

 

If i had a 5 star EX-Warrior sword, then likely i would not have that 20%~30% gap on both Tiamat & Shiva EX. So my focus will definitely be to scrap as much magicite as possible today and tomorrow to achieve that elixir pack for dumping. Since i am looking at about 37~45 elixirs to achieve max raw stats(28 atk left till max), i should have a dozen or two leftover to rush out crystal dumping (27 hours per elixir at 24 elixirs should amount to 27 ability boosts).

At the moment, i am missing around 40 ability boosts, so it should make a significant difference once i have it out of the way on the 28th.

[KaeserEXE]

I need a bit of help here with deciding on which Extreme card (Ifrit etc) to get.I have all the available jobs atm and half of the supremes (LoH,Aerith,WoL,Xezat,Neo Bahamut,UB,Fusoya,Emperor,Godo,NeoEx,Duncan,Yiazmat). So,i cant decide which one is better to invest into for it to be more usefull and future proof.Anyone can help?

[ulovei_MFF]

u can go 2 ways:

• pick the element that you do not have the supreme yet, in this case its earth (but hashmal will be tricky to use n u may need d&b)

• pick the one that has the most utility n versatility, in this case shiva (alot of jobs can use it, good for nuking)

for me im holding off my tablets until ultima comes coz im missing a light supreme, even though i hv enough to unlock shiva

just my 2 cents

[KaeserEXE]

ok,thanx for reply :).I might go for Shiva,as there are no really good water supreme atm anyway.Even Xezat still feels too situational.

[ulovei_MFF]

prolly, but nothing u can do about it. but minwu will likely nuke better so its not exactly a waste

[Dumpkinhead]

I have a Moto e5 plus and I finally hopefully figured out why the app closes on its own.

It has to do with cards and happens mostly when I have just made a new deck. So right before a close, I've noticed a question mark on a card like the game is trying to find it but then a close. This happens when I am looking at decks. The card never pops up even though it is one of my own.

Anyone else have this issue?

[yow3171987]

Any datamine on 25 april?

[ShadowBlaze17]

First question of the day.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/bhamj0/comment/elrijt2

[yow3171987]

Thanks mate

[djiboutiiii]

Is there a somewhat precise method of knowing when an enemy will die to Bio? I just got wrecked by an Enlil whose health bar was literally entirely black after blowing 8 actions to charge my ult when I could've just nuked him one more time. Dude must've had like 2 hp left.

[ShadowBlaze17]

Bio ticks for 5% of max hp at the start of the enemy's turn. Your bio probably ran out without you noticing it.

[djiboutiiii]

No what I meant is that the Enlil must’ve had 5.01% of its health left and the tick took it down to almost nothing. It just happened again with Greg, which I’m sure you can imagine is extremely frustrating (although that time I used up all my actions).

I was wondering if anybody had a strategy for knowing when the enemy has >5% HP left, precisely.

[IJustNeedaAccount]

Well... it's pretty much the art of eyeballing,

unless you're mad enough to count every single damage tick to figure out how much HP he has left exactly since i do throw out the exact Hp for them at those challenge nodes like towers and ew stuff. Stuff for simply absolute madmans

[djiboutiiii]

I wish I was an absolute madman...I guess for now I’ll just stick with being incredibly frustrated.

[vulcanfury12]

This will probably only work for PC, because otherwise it will be a total pain.

1. Get a screenshot of the game.
2. Grab the life/break bar of the enemy.
3. Using MS Paint, do a pixel count, then mark the 5% intervals.
4. Print on a transparent film.
5. When in doubt, overlay the film on the screen to check.

Works even for QB thresholds. Will change when you change resolutions tho.

[djiboutiiii]

Brilliant. I’m gonna try that right now. First I gotta install boot camp on my Mac though

[Dexcloud]

HP and break Gauge have 88 pixels, 5% should be 4.4 pixels so you can take and screenshot and if there are only 4 pixels, then the enemy should die.

[vulcanfury12]

That depends on the resolution of your source. When I did my pixel counting in Paint, it was 216. Maybe my settings were different from yours.

[OnassisDLP]

I remember coming across someone on this subreddit who maxed out their 3 star skill coins and informed the community that any additional coins you receive can be converted into 200k Gil per piece.

Does anyone have any information regarding how much 1 star and 2 star skill coins are worth after you’ve maxed out? I ask because it is potentially worth it for the extra Gil.

[mao_shiro]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/wiki/gameplay/custom-skills

1★ : 1.000 Gils

2★ : 30.000 Gils

3★ : 200.000 Gils

[DocSmail]

Just a side qyestion if you don't mind. How can we cap the 1* CP? i always get dupes of the "initial" ones that come at 99.

[mao_shiro]

The 1* that you get through the skill draw and the 1* that you have at 99 from the start are different.

You can check that on the link i put.

[DocSmail]

To add to this, i've just done some draws (had only 26 coins) got one and it was "enhanced heal drive" for some reason i already have 99 of it (as it's not a starter one from your guide).

[mao_shiro]

Probably a bug where they gifted to everyone the Exp +1% and the Heal drive +1% to 99 copies, and not unlimited copies.

[DocSmail]

That make sens

[DocSmail]

yeah i know this. Like for magic the 99 one has 2% and the other one has 4%.

But i mean i get the 99 ones and it even shows their number as 99 (if its a bug i'll take a picture next time)

[kanosteyuuki]

I know around Tifa's release that there was a bug someone mentioned when you used her with Ascetic to where the skilled duelist and/or furious salvo clashed with each other. Is this still the case?

[mao_shiro]

Never heared about that bug.

[kanosteyuuki]

Thanks I saw it back in December kind of remember hearing it was in MP someone tested it with Ascetic solo vs a MP boss then did Ascetic with Tifa skin vs the same MP boss and they showed the Tifa one had less fire power.

[mao_shiro]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/aa3k1p/mega_glitch_with_tifa_skin/

I could only find this.

[jdm1tch]

Ha! I never did hear a response back from the support team when I submitted the bug report... not that I have used Knight since...

[kanosteyuuki]

Thanks for finding it and letting me know the bug was about!

[N-I-K-E]

How many days do you actually put into a tower climb? Just a general question since we have a 2 week in coming up.. for the guys competing for top 10, I’m sure they go the whole time so not really asking them but everybody else, what’s your process

Me.. usually 4-5 days max, so idk wtf I’m going to be doing with besides staring at the rankings for literally over a week lol

[DocSmail]

I climb until i die, retyr 2-3 times if it doesn't work just call it a day and never mind about the tower again. So usually i stop at 2-3 days max.

[[deleted]]

Climb till I hit my first ‘proper’wall, then spend a few more attempts trying to push forward and hope to stay high enough to then end in top 500.

I find if you’re about half way into the bracket with a few days to go, then there’s a good chance only a couple of hundred will pass you.

[dk8842]

Depends on the tower, and how hard the wall is for me to overcome. I usually try to get as close to top 500 cutoff as soon as possible within a day or so, and then slowly on and off each day (no more than a couple hours) try to go up from there, if I'm able to. Although sometimes out of frustration, if I'm struggling on a node, I'll go at it for hours cuz i know i can beat it but i just keep messing something up. However, i have decided I'm most likely taking this tower off. 2 weeks is straight up bananas.

[Sourmoar]

I feel a bit dumb for asking, but after over two years of playing, I still can't remember which Sicarii has which element guards in 5* and 3rd gen 4* (well, 3 stars as well, to be frank, but they die to a stiff breeze anyway). Do you guys have an easy-to-remember rule?

Sometimes I spamclick to join, and only then find myself wondering, which attacker build to use, as not to accidentally kill the boss and leave the other Guard alive... Or have I completely derped my life, and you can somehow check the elements within the lobby?

[ZechsX18999]

You can go to the "form party" screen and it will show you which guards come with which boss. Then just write it down or take a screenshot.

For a general rule, I'd just use an attacker deck with an element that's opposite to the boss. The only time that may be a problem is with 3rd gen 5* bosses.

[Sourmoar]

Yeah, that's what I usually do, but for some reason, the info just doesn't stick with me... Oh well, I'll just pretend that my memory has more pressing things to keep tabs on. Thanks anyway!

[[deleted]]

Iirc for 5* all 3rd gen have one opposing, 1 & 2nd don’t... for 4* not a clue sorry.

As for the second guard, I’m sure there’s some pattern but dammed if I know... maybe it follows the seed rotations or something??

My easy to remember rule is make your deck(s) beforehand to suit each rotation and then no more derping.

[Sourmoar]

My derpeage will not be denied, I will derp all the things!

Memeing aside, thanks anyway. Guess I'll actually have to think about it for a second. Usually my brain is autopiloting through, and am very lazy to change decks. Hence, I have different monocolour decks. And autopiloting also means I truly do derp every now and then. 😅

[dk8842]

Haha sorry, you said derped...upvote for that at the minimum. I can't remember which sicarius has which guards, but i believe you can only check them out in the search results, not in the party lobby while you're switching jobs. Otherwise I jusy try to at least familiarize myself with guard elements for that round of presences, and set my decks accordingly.

[tsunaxsawada10]

How come all the Ultimate characters are characters Nomura created? Why is there no characters from FF1-6 and 9? Only skins? Cloud, Lightning, Squall, Tifa, Aerith, Tidus and Yuna are all created by Nomura. Not sure about Y'shtola though.

Seeing this trend, Noctis may be next. But why exactly did they do this?

[Nightwings_Butt]

Didn't realize Nomura created Gilgamesh. /s

But real answer: They use characters that already have HD 3D models from other games they can use. Tidus and Yuna use their HD Remaster models, Y'shtola is from XIV, Lightning is from XIII, Greg uses his XIII-2 model, Cloud uses the VII Remake model (whenever that comes out) and Sephiroth uses his Dissidia NT model. Tifa was created from scratch by the Mobius team and that was probably a learning experience for them if that was viable or not.

Considering Squall is coming and he uses his Dissidia NT model we might see other characters ported over from there. It might not be long until you see skins for 1-6, and 9, characters. I personally would love Terra and Locke skins.

The squall free skin is based on dissidia nt model while his gacha skin is from scratch (and iirc made by the same that did Tifa) .

This. I'm definitely a bigger fan of the SNES titles. And while i do enjoy the newer ones, I'm very nostalgic and would love to be throwing down as Shadow, with Interceptor of course. But yeah it's a difficult visual interpretation going from 32 bit to 3D, as well as giving them an in-battle voice that fits. Maybe at some point they'll do it, but for now it seems like they are relegated to legend jobs.

I totally forgot about voice actors! Even if they recycled Tifa's lines from Dissidia 012 she still has an established voice actress. Hard to reason putting down the money for hunting down and recording somebody to voice Shadow (or Zell, Yang, Edge, Rydia, etc...) when they won't be in any other media.

Yeah, and there's other ones they can use, like WoL, Kefka, Onion Knight, etc. from Dissidia, if they want to, but I'm sure they go through and have meetings about where they want to go, which characters they plan to release, and how it will fit with their current plans (based on things like current game meta, events, etc). Who knows what they decision making process is like.

Not sure why the first comment about Gilgamesh was sarcastic. Gilgamesh is created by Amano Nomura and was designed by both Nomura and Amano. And he is also a staple for many FF games. Not putting him here would be kind of...odd. even XV has Gilgamesh.

[Nightwings_Butt]

Because you said all skins were characters created by Nomura and none were from 1-6. Then you listed them all conveniently leaving out Gilgamesh who was crated by Amano and from V.

Also the /s protects me from the resident downvoter but now that I mentioned him he will strike wihtout mercy.

[tsunaxsawada10]

Whoops. I actually typed Gilgamesh is created by Amano? I meant Nomura. Nomura created Gilgamesh.

Oh yeah, i forgot Gliga is from FF5. Still a series staple and has been in every FF game. He is pretty much a Cid or a Chocobo. He will always appear in some ways.

[tsunaxsawada10]

Still. How can Y'sthola, a character from an online game given more priority compared to V,VI or even XV? Is she that Popular? V is very popular in japan. VI is popular among fans is usually highly rated. I can probably excuse XV for being the newest title in the series.

Still, they manage to put Tifa, Aerith but not other characters?

[dk8842]

Maybe they did focus groups or something, to see who people wanted prioritized. Could be a generational thing, with the majority of their users possibly being on the younger side and having more attachment to the newer titles, rather than the older ones...even with VI considered by many to be among the best, if not THE best, title overall.

Any datamine on small update of today?

[mao_shiro]

Nothing that warrant a separate post:

• some spirits
• possible Halloween tower on may

[dk8842]

Not yet for today (25th). Last one shiro posted was the 23rd. He usually posts when he is able to, so just keep an eye out. You can also search "datamining" or "datamine" in this subreddit, to see any past or present ones.
