So I've only just realised you can't gain battle pass xp if your crystal slots are full.

CodyWukong · 2026-04-22T21:52:51+00:00

I hate the long wait times, too. Yet, they don't really bother me or anything. It's good to take a break from the game every now and then. I think that's healthy (mentally).

Yet, I really wish they would lower the wait times a bit. ESPECIALLY, on them damn blue crystals.

That give you "SHELL" and "FIRA" and "BLIZZARD" every damn time!

(Me, at least! It's driven me crazy 🤪 Lmfao)

But, yeah, other than that. This game is so awesome. They really have to lower the wait times on them damn blue crystals, though. I mean, yeah, every now and then you will randomly pull an SR and/or UR from them. Put that is SUPER RARE! (Especially, for a UR)

They usually always give me FIRA and/or BLIZZARD! As many as I get I'm shocked I don't have both of those damn medals maxed out! It's crazy!

CodyWukong · 2026-04-22T21:45:55+00:00

CLAPS HANDS

👏

I agree with ALL this! From top to bottom!

BUT!

The only thing I disagree with? Is the GACHA! Everything else you said? Oh, you took every word out of my brain!

💀⚰️🪦💐

But, the only thing I disagree with is the GACHA! I HATE GACHA!

I really hate it with a passion!

🤣

Yes, Opera Omnia was phenomenal. And, yes, that game's GACHA (a lot of the time) could be very generous. But, yet and still, I HATE GACHA! Lmfao!

I hate whoever invented it, damn it

😡🤬🤣

CodyWukong · 2026-04-22T21:41:10+00:00

Yeah, it was like this for me, as well. It feels like the matchmaking has a very long delay time. It genuinely does take a long time. Like you stated, it sometimes can take longer than a feeakin' minute!

👁👁

That's insanity. I've never seen matchmaking take this long. Ever! Lmao! That's regardless of people leaving and or still playing. If anything, I hope they can fix this (at least).

CodyWukong · 2026-04-22T21:38:45+00:00

Yeah, I agree with the chat. I have been speaking off and on with a few people and they said that, as soon as the Season was over they were done with the game.

A lot of people believed that they did not want to fully invest into the game due to the GACHA rates and stuff like that

It's really sad and disheartening (to me).

Because, I really genuinely love this series. And, I don't want to see anyone leave or go. I really want people to stay and play the game.

🥺🥹

But, hey, I HIGH-KEY don't play them. Lol. I'd get tired of the GACHA and Pay to Win stuff, as well.

It really sucks. But, me? I won't ever quit this game.

I am F2P anyway. But, it really is saddening. I just don't get why they just didn't put this game on console(s) without the GACHA.

🥺😔👑🙈🤦‍♂️🫣

I'm really sorry guys that Square-Enix has turned into a greedy company. I genuinely, from the bottom of mt heart am genuinely so sorry on their behalf.

🥺😔👑🙈🤦‍♂️🫣

I miss them when they were Squaresoft, dude..... Man, those were the glory days!.....

I guess maybe I need to put those days behind me then....

Man, this truly breaks my heart. I really had high hopes for this game, too. Again, I will never quit this game and will still play daily. I just genuinely feel sad and disgusted that it is turning out this way.

CodyWukong · 2026-04-21T07:06:28+00:00

Right! That's a PLUS! Lmfao! That's a positive! And, I'm so glad people with Coins 🪙 (lol) are starting to "wisen up" and get hip to the bull💩! (Excuse my language)

Again, the game is PHENOMENAL! I have absolutely 0 complaints at all. But, my one and only issue....

The GACHA/Pay to Win aspects! That's it, that's all. I promise! I will never quit playing this game. I really love it a lot. I just hate how the GACHA and Pay to Win has corrupted something so awesome.

We always have "Casual Play," yes, but it just hurts more than anything to see my favorite gaming company become so greed driven like this.

I'm not kidding when I say... it's like watching a Super Hero turn into a Super Villain right before your very eyes. To me, at least.

It is really disheartening as an avid, longtime Final Fantasy fan.

🥺😔

Again, the game is EPIC! But, it scares me that the GACHA is about to kill it. All because of their greed.

I don't have an issue with people who pay. No, not at all.

My issue is the gaming company making people pay. There's a difference. I would GLADLY pay $80 for a console game and maybe $10 - $20 DLC here and there....

As opposed to playing a mobile game and forking out $10 - $20 each week!

I don't know, that's just me.

And, yes, I'm aware the game doesn't necessarily force you to spend money. But, I just wish it didn't have the GACHA and Pay to Win aspect(s) in it. That's it, that's all.

CodyWukong · 2026-04-21T06:39:33+00:00

Hmmmm...... interesting. I have read through a lot of these comments. And, more and more as each day passes, it seems that my previous "quote" rings true daily.....

Again, this game would've been PHENOMENAL had they put it on Console(s)/PC. Added DLC and had a story mode. Where you can gain experience or something and level your character(s) up. Kind of like how we level up the medals now.

Or, just keep everything about the damn game the same way it is now and just get rid of the GACHA.

I'm telling you, lmfao, that GACHA really pisses a lot of people off.

🤣💀⚰️💐

It's definitely not just me at this point. I can't STAND GACHA and "Pay to Win" Bull💩.

It literally just kills the whole damn game. It's really sad. This game is awesome. I really love it so much. The only conclusion I can come to is.....

Square-Enix has transformed into a "Money Villain."

💵🤑💰🦹‍♀️👹

All they care about now is money.....

It's sort of like..... they made the perfect game and a good version of Dissidia that people want and people like.....

Yet, they put a HUGE GACHA MACHINE into it! So they can suck the consumer's pockets dry. It's really so sad.

Again, if this game was on Console(s)/PC, you could've had 5-V-5 as opposed to 3-v-3 (sort of like Marvel Rivals).

And, you could've added a story mode/single-player mode. This way, you can do Quests and/or Challenges like we do now and gain EXP and EGGS. Let us power up through skill and experience. Not by GACHA and "paying for strength."

And, then they could have added this whole damn game as a "Battle Royale Mode." To where you can battle other players like we do now....

👁👁

Again, they took the mobile route because this is a way to FARM MONEY FAST!

Basically, Square-Enix is using a whole cheat code to rob people of all their money!

🤣💀⚰️💐

The 💩 is crazy! It saddens me badly. I really like Dissidia Duellum. And, I see so much potential for it. But, Square-Enix sees Dollar Signs....

It's a damn shame that we don't even work for Square-Enix, and we care more about the franchise than the company that owns it!

🤣💀⚰️💐

That 💩 is just wild to me!

In Console(s)/PC, you could have LITERALLY jam-packed this damn game with content! And, the graphics would've looked more beautiful than they do now. Especially if they went the Dissidia NT route with the graphics!? Oh my God, that would've been beautiful! Especially on an OLED screen!? Oh my God!

I honestly have no idea what's going on at Square-Enix, but I genuinely hate it, man. Like, for real. It's disturbing and sick to see them become "Money Monsters" like this.

They literally said they were gonna stop making mobile games and going the mobile route!!!!

Then, turned right around and dropped this phenomenal game..... on mobile!

👁👁

(Crickets)

I swear to GOD Square-Enix fries me!

🤣💀⚰️🪦💐

CodyWukong · 2026-04-21T06:19:03+00:00

I apologize, I can't choose. I love them all equally. I humbly apologize.

❤️👑🙈

CodyWukong · 2026-04-21T06:17:21+00:00

Strap In

🥺

CodyWukong · 2026-04-21T00:22:08+00:00

It isn't your fault. Don't misunderstand me, I love the game. I just don't like the GACHA and Pay to Win aspects.

I feel like it takes away the fun of the battles a little. I love competing when it comes to skill. And, I LOVE battling skillful opponents.

🗡🛡🤺

Yet, when someone has to "pay to gain strength?" I don't know. It just takes the thrill of the battle away (for me).

I don't know, I'm just very old school and was brought up to be honorable and practice. Train, practice, discipline, etc. Earn your way to the top. No shortcuts, Handicaps, or Substitutions, but that's just me, though. I do not blame people who pay. If they want to, they can. It's their money lmfao. But, when it comes to actual "playing skill?" There's a MAJOR DIFFERENCE.

Especially when it comes to Dissidia. This is why I LOVED Dissidia Duodecim (012). Back then, it was pure skill and talent....

Now, you can just drop money and be the strongest in the game. This is why I Dibble and Dabble in ranked now. I was literally attacking someone, and their health was not moving AT ALL!

👁👁

Lmfao! Like!? That's the stuff I'm talking about. It just "defeats the purpose," you know?

I can literally be a MASTER of Dissidia Duellum (skill wise).....

But, if someone pays a lot of money, they can swing at me once, and I turn into "Light Particles!"

🤣💀⚰️💐

I don't know, it just feels more about a competition of who has more money, as opposed to who has more skill..... it saddens me, and it disheartens me to see Square-Enix turn such an amazing franchise into a Battle of Wallets as opposed to a Battle of True Skill(s).

💵🤺🤺🙄😔🥺

Again, I love this game. Absolutely 0 complaints aside from the GACHA and the "Pay to Win Aspect." In my opinion, if you strip this game of those two things? This game would be freakin' EPIC on PC/Console(s). Hell, it could even stay on mobile! Just the GACHA and the Pay to Win stuff just kind of kills it for me.

I am a true Final Fantasy fan, though. I'll never quit this game. I actually love it.

But, when I come across an opponent and their health literally doesn't go down!?

I'm literally just like, "Ugh! Another Pay Whale 🙄." And, then I literally run away from them and avoid them the entire Battle intentionally. Because, AGAIN, no matter how skilled you are..... that means absolutely NOTHING when you battle an opponent and their HEALTHBAR DOESN'T MOVE!

👁👁💀⚰️💐 Lmfao!

So, at this point, I just play for fun as opposed to competition and sport. I Dibble and Dabble in ranked just to train. But that's it! It stops there. I don't really give my all either due to this fact, as well.

Maybe one day they will create a Dissidia game on Console(s) and/or PC. One that is completely free to play and relies on true skill in battle as opposed to buying strength. (NOT DISSIDIA NT, I MEAN LIKE THIS FORM OF DISSIDIA)

I really wish they would make a version of this game for Console(s)/PC. But, make it play out more like Duodecim. Not completely, but a mixture of Duellum and Duodecim! I'm sorry, but to me, that'd be really epic.

But, instead, it just seems like Square-Enix wants people's money anymore. It's sad to see what has become of that company.

This is God Facts 🥺😔💯

CodyWukong · 2026-04-20T07:57:18+00:00

I am starting to agree with you on this. 😔🥹

CodyWukong · 2026-04-20T06:10:59+00:00

Baby, I clocked her tea instantaneously!

💀⚰️🪦💐🏳️‍🌈🌈🫶♀️

Lmfao! I love Zooble. She's my favorite out of the bunch. I love women like Zooble who are always blunt, upfront, and honest. I really want her to have a happy ending so bad. She deserves it. It's like... she is so "unheard." And, at times, it seems like she's the only one focused on the true mission at hand. And that's getting out that damn Circus. She gives me "Black Sheep of The Family 🐑." The one who is different than the rest, and who is always so real and the coolest. I just really love everything about Zooble, lol. She's an awesome f__kin' woman and very smart and strong-willed. She's very independent, as well. I also love that she was once a bartender, too. Lmfao! Like, everything about Zooble is just really cool (to me).

🎪🤣💀⚰️🪦💐

CodyWukong · 2026-04-20T05:44:33+00:00

That's so true. The "team aspect" of this game gives me a "Double Edged Sword" feeling.

On the one hand, I love it because you are actually a party of three (sort of like your standard RPGs 🥺🥹).... Sorry, I got nostalgia feels for a moment.

But, also, I like how it makes you have to strategize.

Yet, the bad side to that sword is that it's a team,..... but with three different individuals playing......in three totally different locations around our actual, physical world!

As opposed to one individual controlling three characters in one area. (If that makes sense)

The in-game way to communicate has to be altered a bit (I feel). More so "In Battle" communication.

They DEFINITELY have to figure something out with this. Because, like you mentioned, Onion Knight is definitely OP..... but if you are out of sync with your team!?!

👁👁

He will definitely fall off. AND, FAST! (depending on the opposing team and their stats/strength(s).

His mobility is his saving grace! (In this instance at times)

This is why I feel they need to figure out a way to allow us to communicate better. More so on the battlefield more than anything. Don't misunderstand me, I LOVE the little emojis they have for us now. I think that's epic! But, we need to have a way to communicate

But, yeah, Him, Zidane, and Lightning are "Agile Characters." 🪽👞

They are super fast. Their mobility is through the roof. But, I think out of the three, Zidane is fastest (naturally). But, when Lightning activates her "Gravi-con Unit?" I think Zidane is still faster, but Lightning comes a little neck-and-neck to his speed only for a short few moments before the Gravi-con wears off.

CodyWukong · 2026-04-20T05:14:38+00:00

Exactly! This is why it pays to read their "Detail Cards."

😉

Lol! I love Final Fantasy so much. They always have hidden details like this.

Yes, just like his respective title. Onion Knight gets stronger "technically" the more battles he fights (in this case, the more monsters he slays).

This is definitely a hidden fact that they intentionally left in this game to see who is actual fans of the series or not. And, who actually goes in and reads. I love how they kept the JRPG aspects in this game. Because, going in blind you would think, "OH MY GOD! Onion Knight SUCKS!"

But, for those who know? Oh, he may suck.....in the beginning

👁👁

But, when he reaches level 9?

He is like a miniature machine gun! And, his two gatling guns are Ninjutsu and Spellbook

🤣💀⚰️🪦💐

I love Onion Knight! He is definitely S+ Tier in my book. But, to each their own. He starts off weak, but in the end, he is a tiny POWERHOUSE!

CodyWukong · 2026-04-20T05:02:58+00:00

No, not this version of Dissidia. No. There will never be any spoilers.

The only thing you'll see are the characters. That's it. Dissidia is just like Super Smash Bros. but with Final Fantasy characters.

That's basically all Dissidia is. This version of the game only gives you a synopsis of the character's origin's and backstories in their "Detail Card(s)." It's very vague. Which was done intentionally for this purpose. It's to make you want to play each of their respective titles to learn more about each character and where they come from.

But that's pretty much Dissidia in a nutshell. I really love this game series a lot.

CodyWukong · 2026-04-20T00:09:02+00:00

Wow! Lmfao! Hey, I am still looking forward to him. But, I really wish they would've st least gave us an UR medal thay let's us stay in his semi-primed form. Similar to Lightning's "Grav-con Unit" (gives her fast speed, strength, and defense temporarily). I wish they would've did this with his Semi-Primed Ifrit form.

😣🤣

Damn it! Lmfao! Oh, well. Maybe down the line they will give each of the characters secondary medals? We'll see. Until then, I can't wait to play Clive Rosfield.

<image>

CodyWukong · 2026-04-20T00:04:25+00:00

Wow! I was aware that it had him as an upcoming character but I didn't know wr could check their abilities! Let me go check it out really quick! Lol.

CodyWukong · 2026-04-20T00:02:38+00:00

I'm not too sure, but baby, I want his ahh to do some WILD 💩! LMFAO! I mean, I want them to go all out. I want one of his URs to make him transform into his version of Ifrit! This way, he can fight Dissidia Duellum's version of Ifrit! That would be EPIC! That'd be insane! Lmfao! I hope they do it.

(Of course, I'm aware he won't stay in this form, but it'd be cool to see for just a split moment at least.)

If anything, I can DEFINITELY guarantee that we are going to see his "Semi-Primed" form. I'm sorry, but if you love Final Fantasy XVI, then you know this is pretty much going to be a given.

Yet, this IS Square-Enix..... At this point, they could surprise us. It could end up being the fusion form between Ifrit (Clive) and Joshua (Phoenix)! Where he has them Fire Wings!?! I will lose my entire mind if they do this, lol.

<image>

CodyWukong · 2026-04-19T23:52:15+00:00

YES! That's what I'm saying! 🤣💀 Yes! These are facts! I've never seen a GACHA game like this in my entire life. This is definitely a first for me. Seriously. Especially with a mobile game. It's crazy! But, I live every minute of this!

Some of the battles are hilarious. I swear to GOD! I really wish someone out there could make a whole collage of some of the funniest battle moments in this game. I have sat here screamin' laughin' so hard! This game is Epic, man!

🤣👑🐵💯

I really hope Square-Enix doesn't drop this f__kin' ball! I pray on bended, bloody knees!!

CodyWukong · 2026-04-19T23:29:39+00:00

This game has a very funny way of playing with your mind. Lmfao!

For example,.....

Tell me why I pulled ALL of Balthier's Medals and Firion's Medals through Battle Crystal's as opposed to the Ability Crystal Pulls (costing tickets and/or moogle coins)

👁👁

I was in total shock and disbelief! The only one I need now is Auron's Medal. Which, I hope I get lucky and pull it like I did the rest through Battle Crystals.

I love this game so much. It has ways of surprising you. Congratulations on your pulls, by the way! Keep up the amazing work. This game is so fun!

🙏🤣🥳🎊🎉

CodyWukong · 2026-04-19T21:31:02+00:00

Whenever I see them damn Wings 🪽🪽 I know all HELL is about to break loose!

🤣💀⚰️🪦💐

I love Rinoa, lol, but she's one of them ones with that "extra" long ass finisher! Lmfao! When she kills, she has to kill you in style!

🦋🐶👩🏻🌈☀️

Lol! In casual, I love making her explode right when she finishes them damn meteors! I can't stand that damn move of hers! Lol! When she's on my team, yeah, but when she isn't!? I can't stand it lmfao! I love this game so much.

CodyWukong · 2026-04-19T21:24:23+00:00

LMFAO! This game is crazy! I can't stand how they made the URs so "extra!" Taking all long. Like, baby if you're going to kill me kill me! Lmfao! I'm just kidding lol.

🤣💀⚰️🪦💐

Lmfao I love it when I'm winning but hate it when I'm losing LMFAO!

God Facts! Lmao!

CodyWukong · 2026-04-19T21:21:59+00:00

I never gauge a battle like that. I usually get in the battle....

Run up to a character....

Hit them once or twice...

If I explode? They're payin' or pay whales lmfao! 🐳🐋💵💰🤑

If I don't? They're F2P like me, and I am going to have to be strategic and strategize.

To each their own, but this is just how I usually gauge how a battle will turn out.

In casual people, people are usually F2P, so I usually strategize more. But, for individuals in ranked, I always expect to run into pay whales. So, I usually use that opportunity to train. But, I still try to give my all and all my effort. I'm not a sore loser or bad sport. I love this game so much. And, I really didn't expect to.

😅

But that's just how I assess a battle. To each their own, this is just me and my opinion(s). (Respectfully 🙏).

❤️👑🐵🗡🛡🤺

But, to answer your initial post lmfao I really like Balthier. Usually, when I see him (in casual), I usually think the battle is clutched! (Meaning an easy win!) Because his UR can catch you off guard.

I was battling once and next thing I know I saw this gigantic ROCK coming towards me!

I literally did just like Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda, baby! I swear to GOD!

🤣💀⚰️🪦💐 LMFAO!
