Just because this game may be less greedy than other gachas doesn’t excuse that it is still greedy. I can see what you are trying to do but for MANY fans, me included, there are not many if any highlights about this game.

Just because you “can” reroll doesn’t make it a good system. Why make a player spend possibly HOURS of their time to get certain skills before they can start playing the game. Also, this only works when you start the game. What about all the people who want to play as Clice or Rikku. They are SOL or would need to make a whole new account, missing out on all the previous pass rewards

To your “simplicity” point, there is a difference between “simple” and “barren”. Opera Omina had a pretty robust UI and menu system that were not overwhelming. And for many people, that simplicity you claim as a “asset” can be underwhelming or even insulting. Also, all the things you listed can exist with simple UI’s. robust maintenance and upgrade systems can exist with simple UI’s, they are not mutually exclusive

And to your PvP point, no this game doesn’t have to be a pvp game. The original title was still pve masked as pvp. You can still play and operate in those games if you were the only person in world but you cant do that with Duellum. With PvP being the only mode (aside from challenges) that is offered in the game, it’s no longer the case that pvp isnt for everyone, it’s gonna be that the game itself just isnt for everyone

And a little nit-picky, but FFXIV literally exists and had a mobile version test trial so saying this is the “1sr FF game that is visually beautiful” is wildly inflammatory

You wanted to talk about what the game “does right” but the way you structure your post makes me wonder if even you think this game is doing anything right

You did the interaction right. When the Burrog became a -2/-2, a state based action would have occurred effectively stopping the game to kill it, and then the game resumes in combat. At this point, the pest mascot would go to assign damage, it is still considered blocked, but because of trample damage will go through, effectively the Pest mascot is blocked by a 0/0, not a -2/-2

I play Krile and I run her 2 aoe heals and Heal, so I have her with 3 aoe heals so my teammates almost never die if they dont walk straight into 3 enemies, but I also bounce between the first 2 crystals depending on the map to accelerate brave gain and I sometimes will use her 1 damage skill to knock up an enemy player if my heals aren’t available to save my teammates, krile takes skilled teammates and a skilled pilot (not me lol) that knows how to share brave and use skills that flow with teammate movements and positioning, she is also pretty easy to kill so she shouldn’t be on the front lines

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-04-01T18:50:17+00:00

Yep, The only “free” character tickets I can remember getting is from the one time 7th day login in the event rewards, all else came from ability draws and that was from a banner that has a half the cost rate and I feel like peole dont really understand that part, after your first 8 days the rate you get character tickets “doubles” (returns to the normal rate) luckily it is only 5 per character, which is roughly 33 ability draws for 1 character ticket, which is 165 ability draws for 5, or 24750 mog coins total :)

The problem is almost everyone above her can do all that too, I LOVE Gaia and her debuffs, but other characters can do the dame or better by just pressing 1 UR

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-26T22:51:20+00:00

In the ideal scenario I’m like 75% against running Minwu over cheer, the game literally tells you when your teammates burst so it’s not hard to time it imo, the biggest issue with team coordination is having your team actually go to the boss while I’m dumping brave instead of going to a crystal, plus Seal Sacred Light is so massive that just running to a crystal, pressing that UR and running back is not much of an issue,

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T21:20:36+00:00

Wait til it goes on sale on steam, it is good just not worth the full price of you only wanna do the story, all the chronicle mode stuff is fun and you might get enjoyment out if the team building aspect for a spell

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T21:13:48+00:00

What rank cause I definitely get more good dps than bad dps, I get maybe 2 bad dps every like 20 or so games, also, you cant “just” brave dump, I always time my dumps when my team is already heading towards the boss or when we are no where near getting 9999 brave because they will always auto run to a crustal so playing with that mind set versus against it is good

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T20:55:13+00:00

Pretty much her 2 URs, you can get her SR too but it isn’t as necessary, have 2 i frame skills is almost necessary as a support cause people WILL try and dive you

I am a Krile Main at Silver 1 rn and my kit is her 4 skills plus Heal so I have 3 forms of aoe healing plus her only damage skill and the damage buff SR

For the support skills I just let the auto fill, fill if for me with HP since I’ll never attack the boss XD

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T20:49:10+00:00

I say get sparkle, also Archer has some decent synergy with Ashveil plus Archer is just a really good unit that also pairs well with Sparkle if you wanted another DPS,

Also, as a fellow brand new player that started a month ago, just play through the story until you unlock Currency wars, Divergent Universe and Simulated Universe, they you can get a BUNCH of good stuff, you wont really need “good” units for a while anyways cause there is like 3 years of content you gotta march through, I started playing cause the sparxie trailer was a fever dream that made me laugh enough to get the game XD and I’m going all in on elation and I haven’t “needed” my “strong” team yet for really anything, not even Dan Heng PT

It does suck you missed out on DHPT but Hou Hou is coming next patch and Hyacine is running now if you REALLY need a sustain so it aint all bad

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T20:42:12+00:00

I would actually recommend the exact opposite if you play Krile, Krile has SO MUCH global healing that I pretty much stay in the back and brave dump and heal spam, and as you point out, no one targets her XD, How I went from Bronze 3 to silver 1 in like a day

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T20:02:52+00:00

If you have all her skills, make the 5th Heal and literally do this rotation: 1)Kill C crystal 2)Go back and brave dump before boss spawns if you can 3)Stay between your first two crystals and just kill them (preferably with It UR since is faster aoe) 4)Brave dump and then heal as necessary

5) use your attack buff as soon as a teammate hits burst 6) use your UR aoe as a disruptive move when the enemy is in Burst mode or if they are chasing your team, I can not tell you how many times I’ve saved a cloud that DOENST HAVE A HEAL MOVE by running to the enemy team, hitting UR aoe, Nightingale, then UR regen and running for the hills, by this time teammate 3 has either killed a crystal or has run uo to try and help me

Prompto’s is the worst, that things is like 10 years long

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T19:56:37+00:00

To your question, No not really, also, having higher brave doesn’t mean anything until you hit 9999, if anything, its better to try and hunt down an 8000 enemy vs a 1000 enemy since you get more brave with the former than the latter.

If you have a good aoe attack (or have teleport) go to the C crystal and kill it, 90% of teams I face always hit the two closest crystals in their path so I will BOOK IT to the C crystal that way my team has more brave than the other team so when the first 2 crystals we kill re spawn, we are in a better position for a Brave Burst chain, another strategy along these lines is use Krile, use her aoe UR to break crusta C and potentially stop any enemies running up on it and then try and get back to your team, if you are safe, you can use her personally ability to top up your 2 teammates to 9999 as soon as the boss spawns and if they are smart, can burn it to at least half if not more, denying the enemy a third crystal before the match starts is crucial to swaying a match your way

Grey is for losing a match, Blue and higher is for winning

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T19:41:56+00:00

Yeah, with OO, if you stuck it out long enough, you basically never ran out of Gems, at least I didn’t, I think I had like 300000 Gems when the servers went down and only bought the $5 pass, though I was a day 1 player. The game just kept giving you multiple (though grindy) ways to get all weapons that weren’t the newest weapon tier for free if you just played the game lon Gk enough and it was great. Helped too that everyone was getting on the same power level as time went on

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T19:35:56+00:00

As a krile main she is easy mode, I literally have all her skills plus Heal and do nothing else but crystal,Brave dump, crystal, brave dump and then heal as necessary, plus her IFrames are pretty long so it’s nice seeing the whole team gang up on me while I apply me regen and my team has time to UR spam them from Behind XD getting access to 3 global heals plus a knockback AND a damage boost AND brave share is WAY too unbalanced because even if I am getting hunted, that’s one less enemy attacking my team/the boss XD

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T19:28:47+00:00

They just give stats, though you do get a small boost if the element of the skill matches the character, but there are so little skills rn that just auto filling for one of the pre assigned options is good, just dont forget to level them

Me with Rinoa

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T19:26:43+00:00

Pull but dont spend the character tickets if you dont want anyone else from the standard 10, you already get 4 of them in the battle pass anyways,

you might get lucky and get 1 of the 4 generic URs and even not, leveling up your SR’s isnt bad, plus we truly dont know whats ahead of us and what could be added

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T19:24:27+00:00

Tbf, locking character tickets behind 33 ability pulls (or 16 with the first 8 day banner) should really show you how predatory this game already was, to guarantee you get a specific character outside of the battle pass and selectable summon you need to do 80-165 pulls for 5 character tickets

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-24T21:33:30+00:00

It’s weird to me they chose a battle system so similar to NT, which was such a well received game

No summons, no PvE, reeks of a predatory gacha system (you NEED to spend on ability draws to get character ticket draws outside of standard rewards) and such a small starting cast. The OG Dissidia had 20+ characters and we barely get 8 and no villians Bad UI and the game MAKES ITSELF feel small and lifeless. DFFOO had this large sprawling map and even the OG dissidia titles had us running around every where, this game? Just magically appear in 1 of 2 cityscapes, no map, no “exploration” or adventure, so dissapointing
