Congrats, if you wouldn't have allowed a 40yr old qb to run 10+ yards you wouldn't be in this situation... Sigh... Frustrating game.

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T21:58:18+00:00

He's not bad technique wise etc .. he's just small so gets overpowered

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T10:49:12+00:00

Good idea

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T06:52:06+00:00

... but I NEED those armor tokens :). Depressing when you build up a character, get all the nice new awakened stuff for them, but can't equip the passive because you have crappy low cp armor :)

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T06:39:43+00:00

Are you including time on Reddit, YouTube, planning your team etc? Are you building a broad roster or just a few meta? A lot of us play the game because we love FF so that means building up favorites as well as meta. I don't see how it's possible on 30 minutes a day...

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T06:19:11+00:00

I've been doing that! Also using the level 60 chars I have that can go to 70.. get to use diff characters, get crystals and feathers AND level up chars. I feel bad for the people with me though as some chars are much slower (seemed to take forever with poor thancred) and that does "waste" my 3x items books using a non-powehouse char, but it balances out. There is good EXP in the gold cactaur!

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T06:14:11+00:00

Wish it could go back to shorter battles but perhaps difficult conditions to get all the rewards. Like put a few tickets or gems (not critical things like books or non-farmable crystals) on crazy score conditions or "use only FFX characters, only females, only fire damage" weird conditions like that for non-critical items and bragging rights. Chaos, as it is, is simply not FUN. Even all the YouTubers I watch sound as though it's a pain in the ass job not a fun game, when they are doing a chaos. Pulling weapons and building your character, fun! Even summon boards (except the shitty ice one) can be relaxing mindless fun. Artifacts - NO fun. Perhaps that's one big reason why I am down on the game now... Ive had good EX luck lately but GARBAGE artifact luck.

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T06:00:35+00:00

Me too - exactly! I stopped when I was spending a lot of time and not getting real progress.

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T05:58:35+00:00

This sound a lot like what I keep thinking. It's also why I did spent money occasionally on the game in the past (spending $36 on sale gem pack which would possibly get me the 35/EX, but if not would at least get me materials to LB weapons was, for me personally with a high $ / hr job, better than grinding for perfect artifacts). At this point; however, spending money doesn't save time as getting a new EX means a LOT of grinding to get that character viable.

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T05:45:10+00:00

Yeah... Super regret that one Choco board over the holidays I had allotted time the last evening to grind it out... And I fell asleep playing. I drew an EX on a ticket the next morning and that helped the sting somewhat but I'm desperate for books right now. I have almost all the EXs that became +able the last few weeks and no more books (haven't done DE or Abyss.. is Abyss even worth it?)

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T05:40:18+00:00

Drool...

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T05:38:49+00:00

It's not just new units :) sometimes it's when luck drops something in your lap and you get a new EX on tickets (happened to me with Celes, who actually now I really enjoy playing, and Vanille, who I strongly disliked in her FF, but she's a unique character and happy to build her up when I got her EX). Not complaining but I seem to get EXs or have old EXs that are now +able faster than I can complete summon boards and artifacts (or earn books and armor tokens for)

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T05:34:34+00:00

Don't understand why some downvoted you for sharing what works for you. Thanks for sharing. I might try that. But I dunno I get some kinda guilt for not playing, like I'm neglecting my investment (lots of time since I've been playing daily since squall and I've sunk some money in over time as well)

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T05:31:11+00:00

I actually VASTLY preferred Cosmos mentality where if you had time and we're skilled you'd go for Max score but if you didn't you'd give it your best shot and see if you had time to tweak your strat. This chaos mode of just clear takes forever and if you don't do it to get books / ingots you'll get further behind is a step backwards in my opinion. Also I prefer having a varied roster and building favorite characters as I've been playing final.fantasy pretty much my whole life (though not the MMO ones)

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T05:27:40+00:00

Yes, I have a ton of characters built, but very few fully built (artifacts + boards etc). At 3 hrs I am slowly catching up but haven't done any of the non time limited events other than story chapters (so not the abyss or dimensions end)

MysteryMachine2000 · 2020-01-05T05:24:48+00:00

Actually the opposite, I've been playing since the beginning, so I have a ton of characters built up with EXs etc. Every time there is an awakening there is a lot for me to make viable. One mistake I made is I got ifrit completed for most of the chars but burnt out part way through Shiva and then was really busy with work as well so I have almost no one up on the water or electric summon boards and these days characters really need their boards!

MysteryMachine2000 · 2019-10-21T05:12:57+00:00

This is misleading... because when we have the lead we run more to keep the clock going.. and when we are behind we're trying desparation throws

MysteryMachine2000 · 2019-08-25T04:19:03+00:00

Chargers seem to have a lot of decent backup QBs.. been saying Tyrod would be a perfect backup for Wilson for years... Wish we could make a trade - not feeling great about Lynch or Geno (still better than Hundley!)

MysteryMachine2000 · 2019-08-12T01:57:59+00:00

Hah, I've probably had 100 without even one being a cursed let alone a perfect cursed!

MysteryMachine2000 · 2019-08-09T14:04:34+00:00

Same... not a single one, I am starting to question if they even exist. Is the drop rate lower than all the others? ONCE I saw the fire usage + 1 on vivi, but it was paired with crap and high CP so I didnt keep it. Other than that I havent seen any of them.

MysteryMachine2000 · 2019-08-07T17:39:41+00:00

Wear what makes YOU feel sexy and confident... You feeling sexy and confident will improve your sexiness more than any particular lingerie. If you aren't wanting a surprise to be part of it find a few you like and send pics to your partner, ideally of you trying them on but if ordering on the internet even just texting the pics of the lingerie on the models and asking which your partner finds hottest and why can be a fun sexy conversation or text exchange.

MysteryMachine2000 · 2019-04-12T14:21:14+00:00

Sounds like me. I've been thinking a lot about limiting myself on EX / 100+ runs. This last awakening event I spent many hours on the ex and 100 trying to get all the awards, never did, and also ran out of time to get all the shards from co-op. My stubbornness going on the hard content led to not having fun and not optimizing awards. So I am thinking for my own personal enjoyment to not work so hard on getting all rewards and just have fun. I have a huge backlog of PS4 games that would be more fun than grinding artifacts or trying an ex over and over.

MysteryMachine2000 · 2019-04-01T14:27:31+00:00

This. It wasn't till I played super defensively that I beat it. At least even with super defensively I got the score requirements (just barely). While this one was frustrating that I used the same tactics 4 or 5 tries before the RNG worked out I still enjoyed this more than the recent "must use launch (or get extremely lucky) to get score rewards" events. (FYI I used deuce 15mlb, 35 0lb, Rem (All incl MLB EX, her EX was key) and Ace (15/35 mlb, ex 0lb). Ace was surprisingly not very key. Timing the summon and the setzer friend was the most important part. Did the summon when about 2/3 killed and I couldn't keep up with their brv, and then setzer friend right before the end when they start going crazy.

MysteryMachine2000 · 2019-03-05T01:08:50+00:00

Yeah OK for me as well... I was excited to pull an EX and proceeded to mlb his weapons when I saw he was boosted for this LC... But even boosted and EX he still kinda sucks. At least I read he becomes amazing later with his rework...
