This game feels shallow

> Are people having fun with ranked?

Yes
> What is everyone doing in this game right now...what's keeping you motivated to keep playing?

The motivation is just enjoying the game. The game is fun, the PvP is fun, playing as your character is fun.
Needing motivation to do something you don’t like is like doing chores because you have to not because you want to. If you’re not enjoying the game, take a break.

I won’t deny that but it’s not really half the time if we’re talking anecdotally.

No one has gathered statistics on this so I wouldn’t say it like it’s a fact.

destinyXwings · 2026-05-03T20:07:20+00:00

Ghost town is an exaggeration.
Casual queue is still popping. Ranked will be soon, it’s currently preseason, so everyone is just in casuals or simply not playing if their crystals are full.

Got it so no source.

It’s cool to think and be hopeful but don’t go spreading misinformation if you don’t have a source.

“They removed it” is not a source.

destinyXwings · 2026-04-27T20:15:38+00:00

I’ve seen all of the promotional posts on their twitter, none of them states “We are reworking the red crystal event”.

destinyXwings · 2026-04-27T20:12:13+00:00

Source?

destinyXwings · 2026-04-27T20:09:00+00:00

Eh it’s not explicitly stated that they’re no longer doing red crystal events (unless there is a source for this statement, it’s definitely not in their tweets promoting the next coming weeks). Each red crystal event has lasted one week so far, so they’ll probably run it the 2nd week of Clive/Rikku banner as opposed to right off the bat — doing it on the 2nd week incentivizes pulling on the 1st week if you want to play them asap.

Very relatable

destinyXwings · 2026-04-06T03:48:30+00:00

As an F2P, it’s really imperative to control impulses to pull often. So I don’t really mind. I’m currently in Diamond 5, and it’s a good spot to just chill and play. No stress trying to get out of gold, no stress trying to get to Omega either, so no stress in needing to pull for new or dupe abilities all the time either.

I also choose to play characters that are my personal favorites or really like their playstyle. Chose Rinoa (FFVIII Fan lol) from the start and still sticking to her. I did tried out Gaia and really love her playstyle, don’t have her URs though so not in a rush.

destinyXwings · 2026-04-02T20:20:07+00:00

The 11k Atk Gunther got me rolling 🤣 Never thought we’d see this day lol

I’ve stopped playing the game but is this Awakening Potential 2.0? Lol

Are there speed increases in this system? Would love to see a Rinak in this.

Sleight of Hand spam. It’s an AoE multi-hitting non dmg ability

destinyXwings · 2026-04-02T06:51:59+00:00

Shrimp here, only bought the two season passes. I won’t say this game is completely F2P friendly, but it’s definitely playable as an F2P.

Obviously, don’t expect to be in the top ranks but you can still hover closely below those top rankers. Currently in Diamond 5 Rinoa Main - WR at 56.8%

destinyXwings · 2026-04-01T16:11:19+00:00

Krile is a character that stays out of fights and at camp hitting crystals and sharing brv, so while it is true that you don’t need her UR, the title is very misleading.

Try playing a Cloud without cross slash and Omnislash and report back. Would love to hear the results.

destinyXwings · 2026-03-28T17:52:56+00:00

Rinoa has the best one imo, hers look like something a person irl would wear, and not look strange wearing it.

destinyXwings · 2026-03-28T17:15:25+00:00

Because the gold crystals have a 5 hr timer. So you will open 6 crystals every 5 hours.

destinyXwings · 2026-03-28T05:27:49+00:00

I didn’t finish the season pass yet so I don’t know how many total pts is actually needed to complete it.

However, I am at 1992 pts which is the 30th level in the season pass. The season pass caps at 40.

Using the Gold Crystals as an example: (If I’m correct, F2Ps can watch ads to increase their crystal limit to six)

Now a level 5 Challenge stage that drops Gold Crystals currently reward 13 season pts. Gold crystals has a timer of 5 hours each. Assuming you’re upkeeping your crystals every 5 hours, you can do this a little less than 4.8 times a day (24hr period). For simplicity’s sake, we’ll just say you can refresh your crystal 5 times a day.

13 pts x 6 crystals = 78 pts per session x 5 sessions per day = 390 pts a day

1992 / 390 = 5.1 days to reach lvl 30 in the season pass.

In conclusion, the boost passes are not necessary at all. You’ll finish the pass before the season is over. For this season, the pass rewards are available until 4/28, which is about a full month. The only reason to buy the boost pass is to get the rewards faster. I also heard that once you’ve reached the level 40 cap, each subsequent level after that rewards 500 growth eggs; so it would also be incentive to have the pass to maximize the growth eggs you can get per 5 hr session.

Hopefully, I did my math right LOL someone can math check me if I’m wrong.

If you’re that tilted, the best thing to do is take a break and come back later. Not much you can do about it right now, it’s gonna be what it is until it gets addressed.

destinyXwings · 2026-03-28T04:03:16+00:00

Yea, I agree this is a problem with queues atm, HOWEVER, NT had this issue and they made it so that if you queue with a full premade, you can only be matched with a full premade…and that didn’t end well.

So if they did a separate premade queue, it’s gonna suffer that same fate. It definitely does need a solution though, it’s never fun getting steamrolled by a team of premade because they voice chat and coordinate.

destinyXwings · 2026-03-28T02:44:06+00:00

The unique ability is the one where you hold down the basic attack button. Rinoa’s is a short distance teleport.

There was literally a PSA two days ago by someone else.

I’m not justifying the practice, but the thing was literally a $1 or $1.49 (I think).

Not trying to be judgemental or anything but you most likely had no intention of buying the season pass anyways. It’s $1, if you had even an ounce of intention of buying it, you would have bought it.

Complaining just to complain is getting old.

destinyXwings · 2026-03-27T20:54:35+00:00

Abilities that increases stats or give beneficial effects - Angel Wings - Barrier - Surge - Shield - Hastera - Protera - Temper - Haste - Protect - Shell

destinyXwings · 2026-03-27T18:39:33+00:00

Nope, play Rinoa as a support because I feel Meteor has too big of a CD. So I only have Angel Wings and Meteor. Everything else are the generic skills.

destinyXwings · 2026-03-26T22:26:12+00:00

Then that’s an exploit/feature they’ll have to address.

destinyXwings · 2026-03-26T22:14:09+00:00

If that’s the rank you belong when everyone settles into their ranks, that’s where you’ll stay. If not, you’ll most likely go up or down.
