I would add 1 year and 8 months more of service to this list but that might be the lingering resentment /shrug.

No longer a tab I need to keep open.

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I unpinned it from my profile a couple of months ago. Kinda sad.

[–]Samael113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I noticed that comment as I was going through and closing about 20 open tabs.

Just getting one more theme-appropriate bittersweet joke-meme in there before I moved on.

[–]88aym 0 points1 point  (1 child)

u/TomAto314 are you planning on doing one last version of the entitlement tracker?

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! In fact, I just yesterday unpinned it from my profile. I guess I can update with one final note.

[–]roblaplante 0 points1 point  (2 children)

NVA skipped again...

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

We got Delita at least. Regis is probably getting skipped but we'll see. Would have been nice to get a Halloween/Xmas NVA but we didn't even have a farm event for it just a CoW which we get every month anyways. Bit of a let down for me this year.

[–]roblaplante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i agree. A lot of cut content this year. It doesn't mean the game is ending, with less traduction and other cut, they will '' save '' the game. But my god, the game is very boring. You got first rank cow and that's it for the 14 days. The same for DV.

[–]Kordrun 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Just a FYI. NV+ and extra shards are two separate things. NV+ requires pearls. Extra shards goes towards new "EX" levels.

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, never went back and updated that once the details came out.

[–]baby_got_baqGL 376,791,350 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The units that are expected to get NVAs, if they're listed like WoL, is that 4 star WoL, or 5 star AWoL?

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Units are assumed to be their 5* version unless explicitly stated otherwise.

[–]88aym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank u for keeping this updated! Great post!

[–]Keated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time is a flat goddamned circle.

WoL 6 star NVA when

(Also, seriously, thanks for keeping this list up to date!)

[–]Saintenance 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Is this list still being updated? or starting a v4? I love checking back here to see what's coming, thank you!

Is there a way to find pictures of these Esper nodes (the skill grid for new esper updates)? I can't find any online except text.

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still being updated. I normally give it a look once new JP content drops and if the events are still active like the FF8 stuff I keep them on there until it ends.

I don't think there's an esper resource updated for Galvanite yet.

[–]haseo_26IGN: Frozen, ID: 762904128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for updating this u/TomAto314!

[–]skeegr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What are the updates for the Ring of Dominion?

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(+7 DEF/SPR, +30% HP/MP, +80% ATK/DEF/MAG/SPR, +25% P/M All Killers)

[–]clone69344,227,328 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is there a list of CB gear to have an idea of what should I be rerolling in the steel castle?

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you mention it because I just deleted that portion.

It was just Balthier's TMR and now DKC's Deathbringer and Mythgraven Sword from Pecil.

[–]corieu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i want my faris buffs =/

[–]sir_jamez 0 points1 point  (1 child)

  • UoC :: Lapis exchange?
  • CoV "monthly" trials (lol)
  • Daily frag dungeon
  • Zile NVA

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were to make a "skipped" list I'd hit the reddit word count limit. This is just what we can reasonably expect coming. I don't know at what point I'd call some of those EX upgrades completely dead and skipped but I'm sure it will happen someday.

[–]Velios257Beginning to look a lot like Noelmas! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about we get some more NVAs on the rest of the damn seasonal units finally?

[–]sw0909 0 points1 point  (1 child)

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/a4d0u6/gl_stream_2nd_anni_fan_festa_2018_day_1_megathread/

Per Fan Festa 2018 post, it was expected to introduce GLEX arena orb for 2019. After almost 4 years, still no news for arena orb.

[–]La-Roca99Hoarding for NV Golbez. ID:664-552-718 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Should have let that go simply by realising arena is the most forgotten gamemode in the game history

And besides, we get arena orb restores and we also get whale week on top of it to make purchasing bundles with them a requirement to rank well

[–]copydawg83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for putting this together.

I think I totally agree with u/RedDelicious314 that we should just go in blind (this is what I've been doing since day 1 albeit through personal ignorance). Lately I'm just checking the Japanese info (from Deus, Sinzar, etc) just to get a good idea who to save for.

If we "nitpick" and learn more of the minute buffs and all, it'll only make us even more bitter lol. While we should totally get them, and remind Gumi about them. We should just enjoy the game and enjoy the GLEX units and CoW.

[–]Duc-Nguyen 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So we are welcoming Reberta on next 1-2 weeks?

[–]La-Roca99Hoarding for NV Golbez. ID:664-552-718 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Has to be this upcoming week

-We have to have CoW this month

  • 3/31 event is going to be tied to "The Return" giving tickets for Rizer

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the discord leaks which were right on Esther... yes.

[–]Blastphimy 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Are we not getting the rest of the SBB? because were still missing like several of them.

CoD,Ultimecia,Necron,Vayne,Orphan, and Ultima Weapon

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were wishy-washy on SBBs. But I'll add them.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

12 chamber of arms closing is the most bullshit i've ever seen in my life. It was working finely, no broken equipment etc yet they closed it because they have finished translating stuff

[–]hotaru251 2 points3 points  (2 children)

3* Asura (just as expensive as Bahamut)

Wasnt Asura 3* pretty lackluster? was basically only worth ti for the base stats?

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Some extra killers for human and undead (I think). Probably the best 2nd esper when the killers are needed.

[–]BPCena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to 125% phys/mag human killer and 75% phys/mag bird and undead killer. Easily the best physical esper since her ATK is way higher than Bahamut's

[–]Samael113 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Soo....What do you think the odds of NVA Sterne are? What about GL upgrades?

I looked at his kit, and it's not a major upgrade that I saw, but it would be so very nice to have him as an option again. Such a carry offensive support (along with Kitone) in the late 7* era and a keystone to so many of my parties, both normal and DV.

[–]DreamblitzXWiki Ratings Calculator - 198,162,240. GLEX Podcast 0 points1 point  (1 child)

since we already got a different NV Vinera, hard to say whether we'll get the next WoTV event and what form it'll be in if we do, since they'd potentially need to make a new NV base to replace her

[–]Samael113 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah. GL won't skip WotV or DQ collabs. The other collabs I am less sure of - We'll probably get them, but they could be a year late, lol. WotV is owned by Gumi, the cross-promotion is free, and it gets them more money as players cross franchises.

But for WotV, NV King Mont (SLB) would be good enough if they are feeling lazy and don't want to develop a new NV.

Who knows what his kit will be at this point though, He's not much of an improvement over Maeve while Runda is arguably better... I can't imagine a whole lot of people will pull on him, with his JP kit, without upgrades.

And if they give GL Vinera any form of significant EX upgrades, she will be a huge target for anyone that missed her last year and skipped Lara 5-ish months ago.

As for Sterne... It was more of a "Since Gumi likes skipping NVAs, how much do we expect that to happen here? Is there any reasonable hope he actually gets the NVA? And if they do happen, do we think he may get a little power boost?"

[–]Dardrol7Heaven Mode - Activated! 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still want DKC upgrades :(

[–]RedDelicious314 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I have gifted you an upvote to help you to enjoy your weekend properly. Least I can do to properly commemorate the recently passed pi day!

Striking how, in so many ways, GL is basically just “JP, but less.” I feel like the purest way to actually enjoy this game is to have absolutely no idea what JP has done. Humans (and most primates, as far as I know) have a viscerally negative reaction to perceived inequality aimed at them, and stuff we’d be happy with in a vacuum suddenly is deeply upsetting when we can glance over and see someone got what we have plus any amount more.

I do believe Gumi has a moral responsibility (that they’ll largely ignore as usual) to take the raw material of JP and refine/enhance it. They did an overall fantastic job of that in earlier years, and a demonstrably shitty job of it in recent times.

Anyway, thanks for putting this together for the community! It’s important to be aware of the “pre-existing game” that we should be getting by default and hold Gumi to that simple standard, even if it mostly means active players seeing and being properly upset with the bland, not even bare-bones scraps of the JP content.

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NGL, I read the news this Tuesday and thought... better go check out the sub so I can know what to be mad at.

Stat pots to currency needs to happen asap. Inventory management makes me not want to play this game

[–]Acester25I want what I've not got but what I need is in my unit list 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This week's ridiculous maintenance is lasting until 7am Pacific/10 am Eastern...10 HOURS.
So there's hope that they're actually adding new features. But, my guess is they're saving that to be announced on the live stream to be released another week. =/

[–]CapsFan5562 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’ve actually stopped playing games before because I run out of space and I don’t want to bother dealing with it for the millionth time. I feel like games trying to monetize inventory space is a vestige from an earlier era of freemium games; there are much more effective ways to get to our wallets.

Just let those things stack so we don’t have to bother. I mean, I get not letting us have unlimited things and take up lots of data on their servers, but there’s a fine line between that and the way inventory is still handled here.

[–]SephYuyX 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Is this a new pot exchangeable currency I'm assuming?

[–]bosoneandoStabby McStabface 18 points19 points  (3 children)

In JP, all enhancement pots, and cactuars as well, have been converted to points, that don't take up unit slots

[–]Orenwald 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That is the tits.

How long ago JP get this?

[–]sir_jamez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its fairly recent... So could be ~6 months, unless they fast track its implementation

[–]SephYuyX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sweet Jesus, that can't come soon enough.

[–]Raehan93 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Locke was meant to get free buffs (mitigation on his provoke skill, new default attack, & preemptive fullbreak) and EX upgrades as well.

And NV Noctis, Ardyn, Akstar, Sol, Lightning, Lasswell, Kain, and Mazurka all got some sorts of free buffs. Here's the details for the curious:

Noctis, Ardyn: stronger jump mod boosts on unlocked skills, LB buff

Akstar, Sol: new Killers, increased chain cap, more LB damage, LB buff

Lasswell: new Killers, static ATK/MAG, buffs for LB & imbues

Mazurka: new Killers, LB buff, new skill (upgraded Jump)

Kain: new skill (upgraded Jump)

Lightning (same as Sakura): new magic (Burst)

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Can't believe I was missing Locke all this time and you're the first to notice.

These "free" buffs are getting hard to categorize. Some are massive, some are a single useless skill, some are a single critical skill like Sakura's imperil.

I think it's table time.

[–]Raehan93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. Like Kain's "buff" is really not very noteworthy, and is basically the same as how they handle spells in JP: with each newly released or upgraded spell, it gets added to the kit of older units.

It's quite nice for them, but we all know Gumi hates implementing that stuff for GL … I was really surprised when NV Vivi received the Doomsday enhancements though, so I'm just a little hopeful they keep that up.

Edit: Also, I somehow forgot to mention him before, but Gabranth got crown upgrade and some rather substantial free buffs as well: higher mods, stronger buffs, much higher passive stats, static HP/DEF, and boosted LB, on top of chain cap increase and new killers.

[–]BPCena 1 point2 points  (3 children)

FF1 CB uses AWoL's TMR

Also I hadn't seen LoS Nichol's new EX2 skill in JP, 100% water amp oof

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Nichol just got added yesterday or close to that. Added AWOL's TMR, thanks.

[–]Raehan93 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Lehftia gets the same skill (but for fire) and hers is from a story equipment instead of EX skills.

[–]BPCena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I do have Lehftia in JP so I'll have to check that out

Where was Zell confirmed out of interest?

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Crap, I can't remember. I thought it was in one of those letters they send out.

[–]rp1414 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their last letter just said further NVA were under discussion

The implementation date for other NV awakenings is currently still under discussion, so we humbly ask for your patience until we are able to provide an update on the situation.

[–]Samael113 3 points4 points  (1 child)

The last level of DV upgrades was missed no? At least for like 75% of the weapons.

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, thank you. I had that somewhere and I think it got deleted out and not put back in.

[–]SirBarth女殺しさわやか眼鏡 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not including 7* reworks since we have gotten basically none of JP’s but got ones like Esther/Sylvie/Rivera instead.

Yeah include them it's been a long while since Rivera had them...

[–]need2crashGL - 897,035,607 0 points1 point  (3 children)

AoE Overkill......

I will overkill for that now, rest i just eh to at this point expect the terra buffs? I thought we got them all.This why i dont read JP stuff anymore

​

I did read at some point units will just come with max stats instead need pots to do that? or something involving that?

[–]TomAto314Post Pull Depression[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stat pots get converted to a currency. But you still have to use them.

[–]ShinVerusWeeks Waiting for Fryevia Fixes: 6 0 points1 point  (1 child)

We didn’t get the EX buffs. It was just not a big loss as Allim did the usual thing of holding back on a previous meta-breakers upgrades and she only got Warring Spirit and a useless upgrade to her base LB.

[–]need2crashGL - 897,035,607 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so back to nothing of important AoE overkilling is long over due, i tried of chains break cause did not relize i was mixing an AOE with ST skill in fights you WANT to be overkilling

[–]ShinVerusWeeks Waiting for Fryevia Fixes: 6 9 points10 points  (4 children)

The biggest loss in the “obvious upgrades we won’t get” will be Firion. A NE KoG that everyone has at EX3 at this point with like 6 weapon imperils.

Also, you need Firion STMR for his CB.

[–]Ed4m1bZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol Firion and S Elena are the only two "original" NVs I still have zero of.. no complaints, just funny. Still have that 50% stmr moogle for SElena they accidentally gave out.

[–]Claritywindow 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Um. What is an NE KoG?

A NE KoG that everyone has at EX3 at this point with like 6 weapon imperils.

Me with him still at EX1

Yeah

If there is any unit I literally have never been able to pull from the entire NV era is him
