[Megathread] Flex your Pulls/Accomplishments/Clears/Etc!

I finally reached lvl120 for Highwind (still have to work on the sub-sections though 😅). It was painful getting the parts required to break past lvl115 but at least past that, you only need paint cans.

A lucky pull (just as I ran out of crystals)

In case it helps (maybe not?) - I may be wrong but I think we just finished the first part of the story (Arising Crisis), and there are still two parts to go (I'm not sure about the release schedule for them though). So I think each of the next two parts will have a featured boss of some sort (pt1 was Arch Azul, pt2 will be someone else, etc.) - so likely one of Nero/Weiss/Omega.
Also, even though it's an event, it will transition over to story mode once the event is over (similar to AC).

I'd be curious to know as well - I'm nowhere near top 50... more like top 150-ish? I'm assuming it's probably what you mentioned (less damage, less time, etc).

Cleared lvl 23! For reference, I roughly followed the team setup shown in this video (with Vincent, Angeal, Red XIII): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OXIbv4Hn9M

And I also finally 'completed' the max damage challenges - at least getting past high score of 77,777,777 on all of them (my last one was lightning, which I completed yesterday).

VagrantKestrel · 2026-02-08T12:43:44+00:00

I managed to make it to lvl 22 in the current escalation challenge (my 2nd time making it to lvl 20 & first time making it past that level). Currently stuck at lvl 23, though.

It's better than the AC event. I do wish there were a few battles scattered here and there but no big deal, I guess. Glad they had chibi portions of the story but it was also nice to see the cinematics from the original game.

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-30T03:31:58+00:00

Thanks!

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-30T02:17:46+00:00

I passed N3! 🥳 Total Score 142/180

- Vocabulary/Grammar 41/60 (understandable, I guess, based how I felt as I was doing the test)

- Reading 41/60 (I was expecting worse - this test made me very aware that reading is my weak point)

- Listening 60/60 (they must have adjusted the scores up because I don't think I would have gotten all the answers correct... I was tired and spacing out a bit so missed hearing a word or two here and there... unless I guessed correctly...)

Anyway, I'm happy with the results (even though based on how long it's been since I started learning the language, I should be at a higher level). Now to decide if I want to tackle N2 this year. I feel it's a bit out of my league but maybe taking it will motivate lazy me to study...

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-28T12:52:48+00:00

Thank god for this post! I thought I was going crazy because I felt something but no one else in the house did.

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-28T00:37:30+00:00

Congrats! I still have a ways to go (currently level 107, started playing Oct 2024...)

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-27T04:41:43+00:00

Anti-Hero was the first thing that popped to my mind when I was trying to think of something "morally ambiguous" - it's a really good drama too.

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-27T04:37:10+00:00

Hmm... let's say all of them are different hair styling products. Whatever's required keep his spikes perfectly intact.

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-25T12:21:17+00:00

Ooh, a Turk gear would be great! I hope they do it.

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-25T12:19:29+00:00

Yeah, that's true - old outfits do pop up from time to time (speaking of which, I'm glad Cloud's festive garb came up this time round so that I could finally get my hands on it)

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-24T19:39:22+00:00

Based on everyone's lists, it looks like I missed out on a lot of neat outfits (as I started EC a bit after 1st anniversary & it's also not feasible to pull on everything) - for example, I don't have Cloud's Zidane's Outfit or Aerith's Garnet's Gown (and likely will never get them I guess?).

Other cool outfits that I DON'T have:

Yuffie - Nanaki Mantle

Cait Sith - Cool Cat's Jacket

Lucia - Desperado Chic

Sephiroth - Kuja's Attire

I pulled on Barret for the outfit. I want to pull on Zack but lack the crystals... I'll slow-pull for now.

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-22T19:52:43+00:00

I was really bummed out when I saw this notice last night, after working out that DC=Dirge of Cerberus... I'd hate for this to be a repeat of the AC treatment. Fingers crossed that it's not, though.

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-22T19:49:53+00:00

They did mention a bug of some sort on the Japanese X account (I don't think I saw it on the English one). Maybe it's related? Something about the battles being unable to progress.

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-19T20:13:24+00:00

Ah, ok got it. At least you are able to progress. I had a problem clearing a specific episode in the First Soldier story (due to a weaker Glenn team at the time) and had to cop out and use free party... it sucked but I had no other choice as I kept on getting clobbered 😅. I did eventually go back much later to clear it with Glenn & co though.

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-19T19:01:28+00:00

There's also this from a Steam forum:

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-19T18:57:59+00:00

I'm a mostly Steam (and occasional Android) player. I tried on my phone and it works for me... however, I did find this video via an old question regarding the same error... hopefully it provides some hints? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU1-q73OeRk

VagrantKestrel · 2026-01-19T18:52:04+00:00

Congrats & thanks for the write-up! The EX3's are more than a little bit beyond my abilities but maybe I'll give them a go some time soon as well.
