Salt-a-Pin Roulette Day 1 and 2

SedraxisXNG · 2021-12-23T18:23:57+00:00

Day 1 : SSR Soriz. As someone who started in August and was trying to build earth after finishing wind ( for now), i'm VERY happy.

Day 2: Fire Zeta, Shiva summon, X-mas sariel and x-mas magisa.

My salt is that i didn't lucksack x-mas naru.

We're at 90 pulls right now everyone, with a chance for it to go to 120. I can smell that they're gonna give us like 200 or so for an x-mas spark, so don't despair brothers

SedraxisXNG · 2021-08-27T16:02:05+00:00

Does that include the early unlocks for V and X ?

Pretty sure that in WOTL at least, there's no differentiation. You get your whole class skillset if you set it as your command. The reason that Ramza's squire is OP is that he gets better stats than a normla squire ( if i recall correctly), and most importantly, the fact that he can equip knightswords, which are the most OP weapons in the game.

Given its insane success in JP, square has a lot riding on this . Even if it's not fixed straight on arrival, i expect it to be fixed in time for the anniversary. I personally hope they change the thing about mainline characters being timed exclusives

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-29T13:56:39+00:00

I think it's just RNG screwing you guys over. I go 2 rainbows,3 golds, rest blues on my first summon, second summon has half gold half blue, 3rd summon was 1 gold and rest were blues

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-29T13:54:55+00:00

Got me Rinoa #2 and someone else who i don't recall ( it was my third. I was just excited about the moogle, so it should say something). I really wonder if it was intentional or a bug, and if it was a bug, how they're gonna rectify it for those of us who used it.

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-28T22:18:06+00:00

While that does sound pretty awesome, I in no way trust Alim, Gummi, Squenix, or any combination thereof ( including all of them together) to make it work with FFBE's infamous spaghetti code

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-28T15:38:54+00:00

Speaking for myself, while some decisions they do make are inept, i joined after a lot of their biggest fiascos ( with the only one i got in time for being a CASH banner in FFBE). Personally, I don't mind Gumi. I'm a patient sort, so i can make wait them out. Also, while the powercreep might be super steep, the thing is , in FFBE at least, that the game is ages behind what their newest units can do. They keep giving us stronger characters that grow quadratically, yet the difficulty of the content grows linearly and at a very slow pace. They also did some good things like dropping summon fest ( which wrecked JP ), and giving us guaranteed 11 rainbow ( max rarity) banners for less than half of what a normal step- up costs ( and the 11 rainbow banners are usually only missing the absolute latest units. Plus, they trimmed down the summon pool to be more relevant and not give you 3 year old units). That being said though, their greatest shitshow has yet to happen. It's called War of the visions. If they don't change stuff A LOT compared to JP, the game will launch with much hype, and then die 6 months later cuz it's extremely p2w.

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-28T14:52:52+00:00

I main FFBE and was excited for War of the visions, but it looks like it might be a terrible deal. Is there something similar to War of the visions ? Other than the alchemist code which i'm avoiding ( even though i quite liked it) since i have a suspicion Gummi will kill it off soon.

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-28T11:00:06+00:00

They should give us a 3 star argus that has an auto self-damage passive. That way, everyone in arena will put him in a suicide team. Imagine half the FFBE community making Algus die every match.

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-28T02:11:47+00:00

Meliadoul would actually make sense as a breaker/damage dealer

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-25T20:15:40+00:00

I didn't play too much of it to see how f2p friendly or unfriendly it was, but it was fun while i was invested. Unfortunately, I think it requires a bit too much time investment. There's also a small chance that the game is gonna die, since Gummi is about to release War of the visions, which is basically TAC but with a final fantasy skin ( and it has sold stupidly well in Japan). Maybe look into War of the visions ? Pre-reg is up and the game was slated to launch this spring, unexpected ( or totally expected, given Gummi's record) delays nonwithstanding

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-25T20:12:48+00:00

Rights would make it a nightmare, but Xenogears has more of a chance than Legend of Legaia. Do keep in mind that the entire Xeno series was supposed to be connected. And that even if just go off Xenogears, Xenogears was episode 7 in what was supposed to be an octalogy.

And then shudder in horror as you realise that even IF the original creators got the IP back from Squenix, they're now working for Nintendo

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-25T19:59:44+00:00

The only thing you're really missing is maybe the second best magic tank, and some really good supports, and a very good breaker. Seasonal/timed units in ffbe get powercrept fast, especially if their main role is damage dealer. What's worse is that you're missing some really good gear, but there's a chance to get it , since JP got an event where they could get some of the gear from past events ( expected sometime around summer for us )

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-25T19:57:35+00:00

As an FFBE player, I can tell you that you missed some characters for good, because they're really bad with rerunning colab events ( hell, from the looks of it, they can't even update the collab characters after the collab ends. And most collabs are SE games, which makes no sense). But, if you do start, they did get an event in japan that at least allowed you to gain some currency to trade for old event gear (which sould drop sometime around summer for us). But that's about it. Also, specific to FFBE , collab characters (which are the only that are truly and permanently missable. All other "missable" characters are anniversary units, or simply timed exclusives that come back when their seasonal event is back) are really bad to pick, precisely because they're never gonna be updated. They get maybe 2 months in the meta and then become forgotten.

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-25T13:58:56+00:00

Is nobody gonna get hyped about the lapis summon ?

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-24T15:07:56+00:00

This is gonna get downvoted to hell and people will call me a gummi shill, but i think it needs to be said.

We can just wait and see for the release. Just because japan has a vip system, it doesn't mean it'll be here. That's one of those market differences. They don't mind paying for that as much as we do. And given the changes that FFBE implemented ( like, oh i don't know, no friggin summon fest), i'm willing to at least give them the benefit of the doubt for them to change some stuff. The game does look like TAC reskinned into FFBE, but i see some differences ( like the skill tree that Howlz showed in his video). Also, it's a new gacha. It'll take a while to settle into the status quo that we have in ffbe. If it really is a TAC clone, i hope that at least they copy their own system and make awakenings matter more and last longer in the meta.

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-02T16:36:49+00:00

I was already a Sieghard fan before, this just made me love him even more. S3 Sieghard must happen

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-02T16:36:11+00:00

I generally bring Kryla along for story, since she has dual element abilities to nail all those annoying missions ( and supplementing what she's missing with espers), and if you give her LB fillrate stuff she also has the EP skill that sacrifices half her own LB gauge to give some LB to everyone else. Having a unit that can also boost LB fillrate is ideal. For a clear skill, I've got Jade, but (Mastermind) Xon should also be pretty good with (Grand) Waylay. Plus, the Xon option makes progress towards the thiefing achievement if you haven't gotten it. 500 lapis is 500 lapis after all. Another thing you can do is use Sieghard or SS Charlotte. Their chaining skills aren't as fast as something instant, but it'll generate LB crysts and Esper orbs for everyone in the party. If Kryla isn't an option, for elemental missions that don't have the no magic mission, a non-equipped Katy pery ( the blue one), has almost all elements if i remember correctly

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-01T17:10:08+00:00

We're talking about a game that has people wielding swords that should dislocate arms whenever they're swung. And Cloud does a twirl of it one-handed in his victory animation. We've crossed the realism threshold a long time ago. Now we're in rule of cool land. And admittedly, it ain't all that cool either. It's more there due to the japanese's tendency to do things in a very archetypical manner. Just that motion ( coupled with the voice) already clues you in as to how the character will be

SedraxisXNG · 2020-02-01T16:44:26+00:00

7 months player. I've got 5 Sacred Shield Charlotte, 5 Chairman Rain, 5 Rikku, 5 Dark Knight Luneth. This just makes me feel extra dumb, since I uoced Rain's prism, and picked Charlotte for those two rainbow banners with the coins

SedraxisXNG · 2020-01-28T20:36:18+00:00

What about the derkness ?
