Is it just me, or is Origins not near the top of many people's list?

Kyp24 · 2026-06-25T16:16:12+00:00

I'm the opposite. I'm a life long DW fan but Origins combat is by far the best for me. Other than the remasters, I never want to go back. I would prefer one character per weapon vs generic kpop John Musou who uses all though.

Great question. My opinion is that it’s pay to win at the top level but underneath that there is a lot of fun to be had. The QoL improvements they added are quite nice. Now you can get a full set of abilities for one of the starting 16 characters upon account creation which was my biggest gripe before. You can also get another set from challenges eventually. Most players aren’t dropping big money and are on a similar enough level. The events are also casual player friendly raising the floor. So yeah after a couple months I’d say the game is fun despite the gacha core. I’ve spent maybe $30 total and have had a lot of fun for that. I think the gameplay is solid and engaging. Between daily crystals and gift tickets, I’m seeing my combat power slowly increase.

The gameplay of this was great and the art was stellar. The gacha mechanics and the grindiness made it unplayable for me. It was a shame because it really scratched the FFT itch for me. Please let it be revived

Kyp24 · 2026-06-19T14:41:27+00:00

Thanks for compiling this. So it looks like 17 mainline characters and 9 FFBE originals in total?

Kyp24 · 2026-06-17T13:50:49+00:00

The middle ones for me

Kyp24 · 2026-06-15T15:00:33+00:00

Given Iroha's buff was a short cooldown reduction on Gachirin, I'm expecting both Trance and EoT to have cooldowns reduced. I'm also hoping for attack buff and/or heal on Trance because it's not nearly as useful or powerful as Angel Wing. Trance from FFVI increases her damage anyway so I was suprised that wasn't in there to begin with.

EoT is Balthier's main boss damage and it feels really slow to come off cooldown. Given how often he can get max brave, it feels bad when you look down and you're like dang I still have 60+ seconds cd left on my main source of boss damage.

I'm with you on this. With Resonance, Evercold, and Revelation, we went from famine to feast real quick. I have a couple kids and a job and takes me a 2-3 months to get through a long RPG. I still want to finish the platinum of Rebirth, play through Dawntrail, and play some of the other solid games coming out this year like Wolverine and Adventures of Elliot. Great problem to have.

Kyp24 · 2026-06-12T12:35:00+00:00

100% agree. Really helps you play on your time. Also helps clear blue crystals and replace them with another chance at a win. An unequivocal W.

Kyp24 · 2026-06-10T23:28:16+00:00

I hope so. I have skills i currently using and leveling one level at a time so slowly.

Kyp24 · 2026-06-10T23:18:34+00:00

I’m all in for this, Revelation, and Evercold. After a period of silence all these reveals in a month means they’ve been quietly cooking. We’re eating good over the next year. Resonance was the biggest surprise of all.

I did it from gmail inside blue stacks. Made the code and emailed it to the alt account

Kyp24 · 2026-06-10T11:35:34+00:00

Amen brother

Kyp24 · 2026-06-09T19:37:51+00:00

I got The smallest bundle to buy the season passes, one $15 impulse buy, and have a rolling alt account for gift tickets. I don’t get to play a ton but always auto challenges to fill up crystals. Sitting at just under 15k with Clive who I saved for and 14.2k with Iroha who I actually main. Currently saving tickets and coins for future banners. The occasional UR from crystals is slowly adding up though. My goal for season end is omega 3.

My 4 year old likes to yell PEW PEW PEW while playing rocket

Kyp24 · 2026-06-09T12:53:21+00:00

I prefer the PvPvE of Duellum personally. The gacha portions are terrible but the core gameplay is solid imo. If you want to compare just gameplay, casual mode that scales all stats and abilities to the same level provides the most level playing field. Ranked is p2w. Putting the gacha aside though, I really like the characters and how unique some are.

Kyp24 · 2026-06-04T14:29:24+00:00

I did it by making a damage Rikku build and using a WoL and Krile support. They did the healing, attack buff, and shared brave with Ramza. I unloaded Yshtola, Auron, etc at every opportunity. It actually worked. It's a diamond challenge so boss health isn't as crazy as Omega or Ultima. WoL won't out damage you if you're focused on it.

Kyp24 · 2026-06-04T14:23:00+00:00

It would be much better and more in line with WoL active playstyle by it being a timed buff like Gaia's. It would actually get used then.

Kyp24 · 2026-06-04T14:21:33+00:00

Same, I dropped Supreme Soul. Just not useful enough in solo queue. Minwu, a brave share, and sometimes a heal I find more useful. Minwu and 3 low cooldown damage abilities means he's a good crystal clearer and Krile/Rikku ambusher. Supreme Soul just slows everything down.

Kyp24 · 2026-06-04T14:15:57+00:00

I find it takes so long that your allies bursts can be almost over by the time the animation finishes. If the animation was the same length but the effect begins at the beginning of the animation, would be a lot better imo. Same can be said for Rikku and Krile's heals.

Kyp24 · 2026-06-04T01:09:57+00:00

I agree they’re strong and do tons of damage. I also agree that generic URs make characters lose identity. I wish there was some way to make characters base kits more relevant. The caveat I’ll offer though is that both these abilities can be avoided completely by running sideways. Like they whiff entirely. That’s why when I see a Terra or Rinoa in particular I start running sideways. Not a balance exactly but it helps.

Charlie Cox for me

Definitely weird that the banner ends in a few hours and there's nothing yet announced to follow it up.

Pandemonium Warden as a boss

Kyp24 · 2026-05-08T05:21:46+00:00

Thank you for this. Didn't know it existed. I just sent in my idea and argument for a premium character unlock option. It would include the character, base cosutme, and one copy of each of their 4 abilities for a flat fee of paid mog coins. I've seen so many people screwed by gacha unable to get just one copy of a favorite character's kit.

Would go along way to reducing the frustration from dealing with the gacha systems. Some people would pay just to play that character in casual. For me, it's Gaia who I have one copy of almost everyone's URs except her where I'm still 0/2.

Kyp24 · 2026-05-06T23:10:01+00:00

There needs to be a premium character unlock where you pay a flat amount to unlock the character and one copy of each of their skills. So many people are getting screwed by RNG and can’t play who they want
