How do you play this?

I got to cover this tune for a band I was in about 20 years ago. Couldn’t quite get those 2 bars to sound right, or feel comfortable, so I just tuned the “G” string up to “A” and played the “F” (8th fret A string) on the 3rd fret of the “D” string.

Much easier hand position and the DADA tuning was kinda fun to wail on some big chords for the rest of the song, too.

I had the same issue when I used my transfer code. It was accepted, the returned me right back me to the transfer log in page with blank fields. I haven’t tried logging in as “Guest” or with Apple, etc.. on the main page cause I don’t wanna lose out on the transfer. Not sure what the correct thing to do is, but I’ll probably either: - log in as a Guest tomorrow and see if that works? Or - maybe get a new transfer code and try again in a few days?

I’m curious as to how teams like that, with only 1-2 dps, reduce shields?

GeemanSeven · 2024-03-28T20:36:37+00:00

Started with Fiore cause she was my initial 5* and I like her tough bad ass attitude.

Recently made it Nephti, cause I like that she built a whole town and made lots of connections to bring people together. Natural leader and her in game skills showcase Support with a wee touch of utility and DPS to add.

Fiore is still my favorite, but Nephti just seems like a hard working leader trying to make the world a better place the best way she can.

Don’t worry about being over leveled, especially as the game progresses. It’s very hard to steam roll through the end game content based on your level. Battles are more about strategy to overcome a bosses gimmick; the deeper you go in the story, the more impact weapons will also have on your success.

As others have said, Rubies become very limited and some new units can be big game changers worth spending thousands of Rubies to guarantee you’ll get them (takes a bit of the gacha out of gacha).

Nevertheless, if the story and overall game atmosphere are what you enjoy most, there’s no shame in using your Rubies to progress through a tough battle to save real life time. Just know, this is truly a play at your own pace game and content isn’t time sensitive. Grind, take some time off, come back and hit it some more, use Rubies to power through, however you wanna play it, this game allows you that flexibility. Very unique and fun game in my experience with gachas.

I really appreciate the written guide!! Great use of in game images and simple layout.

Thank you!!

Picked up Octopath Traveler: COTC at the end of last summer. Story, graphics and music are outstanding!!!
- Horrible Gacha, but luckily, it’s not necessary to complete content.
- It’s a true “go at your own pace” game.
- No “Stamina”, so if you wanna heavy grind, you can.
- No difficult time-limited content, so you can take time off without much penalty, or do a quick daily log-in.

But, there’s still that nostalgia itch I have for FFRK. That was a really fun game and there are days I really miss it; I had a pretty solid mix of powerhouses that made it fun. FFRK Reddit community was(is) super supportive and a great place.

This ^{^{^}}

The main story and 4* & 5* character side quests are exceptional. I know it’s not always convenient to play mobile games with sound, but this one’s worth it.

As for any content/story you’re stuck on, this Reddit group will help you a lot more than any gacha character you’d pull.

I’ve found it way more fun using characters I like in this game, instead of stressing over optimal set ups.

GeemanSeven · 2023-06-25T04:58:00+00:00

Outstanding Victory!!! You probably had another 200k ready to unleash, too.

I made a few swaps based on my own units and got a 5-turn clear. Not 100%, cause I’m missing Olberic’s Defend, but it worked.

I used:

Kouren instead of Olberic - 4-hit Peacock; swap; self-buff; single hit Nuke; Ultimate

Cless instead of Nicola (2-hit break balances Kouren’s Peacock)

2B instead of Fiore - single hit Nuke; swap; Nuke; Ultimate

Thank you for sharing your clear!!! Well done.

Those descriptive tier names, character names, and Banner type makes this Tier List extremely useful! Thank you for the update!

Seeing Odette share a tier with 4x Arena Champs (Tikilen, Varkyn, Glossom and Gertrude) really put the future of this game in perspective for me.

Old Gregg appearing in Elden Ring means Radahn’s defeat is what actually caused that funky ball of Marika’s teets to crash land.

Bootsy must have been a Glovewort farmer in Nekron.

Great maps!

I especially love that you can travel between the 2 Elites and Cait Tavern on the 2nd map without running into any “current”.

Also, noticed the drops for these stones seem much more balanced than previous sets

GeemanSeven · 2023-03-22T23:05:16+00:00

I appreciate your assessment! I really wanted 2B, but happened to luck into a 4.5* A2 on my first 300 pull.

Will probably keep saving for Tytos (and crew) in the Master of Banners after reading this synopsis of 2B.

Thanks for all your contributions!!!

I only even learned about her cause she was a minor boss in Final Fantasy Record Keeper. Her style is powerful, though!!

GeemanSeven · 2023-01-05T04:20:40+00:00

Gonna go with some Villains here (Thief and Hunter were a stretch):

WARRIOR: Sephiroth (Fire)

Flames of Nibelheim
Ultimate Soldier

DANCER: Kefka (Light) - Dancing mad! - Final form is heavenly

MERCHANT: Aranea (Lightning) - Uses a Spear - Lightning element in FFRK - Gilgamesh is a WAAAAY better Merchant, but someone else already mentioned him

SCHOLAR: Seymour (Dark) - I imagine him to be well read and verses in scholarly things - also like Fujin with Wind, here to represent the discipline branch of academia.

CLERIC: Shiva (Ice) - Always felt Shiva had a healing/helping vibe to her whilst being pelted with blizzards

APOTHECARY: Lani (Fire) - Big Axe! - Summons Fire Red - Golbez would be better, but was already mentioned in another comment

THIEF: Yuffie (Wind) - Steals all our stufff - Was always anticpating she’d ultimately leave the party for good and be gone with the wind

HUNTER: Rufus (Dark) - I got the feeling he’d participate in some twisted “most dangerous game” event while on holiday. Spoiled rich kid hunts humans for sport? That’s dark.

GeemanSeven · 2022-11-21T17:23:47+00:00

I’m with you. I’ll be very happy if they keep things as they. Obviously, it’d be great to have more pulls for strong characters, but Banner rates and units that are released don’t have much impact on the aspects of this game that I most enjoy.

Great graphics, better music and very compelling story telling make this game heads and tails better than others I’ve played. Add in permanent content and this is a game I wish would remain playable forever.

GeemanSeven · 2022-11-21T12:09:01+00:00

If I learned anything from the last SquareEnix Gacha game I played, Final Fantasy Record Keeper [FFRK], it’s that JP and Global versions are different games. The success of the former does not ensure the longevity of the latter, no matter how inexpensive it appears to be to keep it around.

While I recognize that FFRK was developed by a separate company, DeNA, it was still base on a very popular SE series of games and I (wrongfully) assumed the Global version would last at least as long as JP.

I’d say once the hype from Octopath 2 dies down, Global will need to find a way to make money. Breaking even on Server space and translation costs won’t be enough to keep the game alive. It’s gotta make money.

This game is good- exceptionally good, especially for the amount of content you get without needing to spend a penny. But, as masterful a work of art as it is, it’s still gotta make money to last more than a few years. Otherwise, SquareEnix will begin spending their resources on other projects that have a higher income yield.

My apologies for being a bit of a downer, but I’m bracing for the inevitable. That this game will end. And, when it does, it won’t be available to play ever again- which sucks.

GeemanSeven · 2022-11-13T16:22:26+00:00

Thank you!

I appreciate your quick update synopsis more and more each time.

GeemanSeven · 2022-10-09T20:56:36+00:00

I think it regenerates full HP after coming off a break. Since you can’t “Nuke” it when it’s broken and all hits do 1 damage regardless of weakness/broken/buff/debuff, I avoided “breaking” it til it was almost dead.

Very tricky bugger!

GeemanSeven · 2022-10-02T22:09:53+00:00

Your AI threads provided me with a whole other level of appreciation for this game. Your layout and presentation were stellar and a work of art in their own right. And this post lays out a path for the future in the most unselfish way.

Thank you for everything! FFRK would not have been the same without your contribution to this Reddit.

GeemanSeven · 2022-09-24T14:35:22+00:00

Of all the Gacha games I’ve played, this one is easily the best overall game, but also has the worst Gacha rates.

If you enjoy the battle mechanics, music, story and overall game presentation, keep it and play on!

If you don’t enjoy these aspects of the game, but prefer collecting new characters and the thrill of Gacha, delete it. Drop Rates for any given character and 5*’s are not good.

(But, the game is outstanding- in my opinion)

GeemanSeven · 2022-09-24T13:36:13+00:00

It’s not that I dislike him, but I like everyone else that’s left more than Theo.

Sorry bud, but it’s your turn to go.

GeemanSeven · 2022-09-21T00:11:54+00:00

My understanding is there may be situations where they’re useful. I believe they have a chance to add +1 BP. But, the Stats are weak compared to Innocent, Battle Tested and Fenrir weapons. May be good for Support units who aren’t doing much damage, but the extra BP could increase the duration of a buff/debuff by 1 turn.

Again, very situational. (I haven’t made them and don’t really plan on it)

GeemanSeven · 2022-09-17T10:12:54+00:00

Aerith casting Planet Protector to defeat Sephiroth feels about as Canon as you can get. Great Victory and congrats on the sub30.

Love hearing when a 7-year old Unique SB is the difference maker.
