I went super hard on this game for a good 3 weeks just TM macroing every night and most of the day on weekends. Fully aware only a handful of people in this thread would want to do that. Also I guess a good point from that is this game is pretty deep, and the content will last you a long time. It's like a proper FF game.

I might not have a Bartz with almost 400 attack, but I've got nuclear Terra that AoE's the whole screen. I've also got that armor from Vaan that's nearly 100 defense. Quite a few characters are 60+ TM as well, I should finish them up some time. I just don't think someone should look at pulling a Bartz as their only good character and be happy. As a second or third 5* max character, fine.

Twelve by Pies posted:Is there any use to the Friend Point summons? I'm guessing maybe it's like the daily Relic draw in Record Keeper where you'll probabyl get 1 and 2 * trash units but have a ridiculously tiny chance of pulling someone good? Zero chance for non-Friend Point Summon characters, but some of those characters have useful Trust Mastery Rewards (like three of the Race Killer passives, including Dragon Killer which is super useful). I'd recommend summoning until you have at least one Ollie, King Giott, and Skaha (the last one is a rare friend summon so it may take a little while) for the passives. Also possibly Carrie for Sunbeam, which is an AOE blind attack.

Read 'em and weep for me. 2x Shadow (duplicates of worst possible draw) 2x Bedile (duplicates of second worst possible draw) 1x Fran (fifth worst possible draw) 1x Clyne (sixth worst possible draw) 1x Galuf (not the worst, but still pretty bad) 2x Shantotto (middling, at least her tm's great) 1x Vaan (thank goodness. Top-tier, the one saving grace to all this) EXCEPT I HAVE A VAAN AND TWO SHANTOTTOS ALREADY THEY'RE LITERALLY THE ONLY USABLE/SEMI-USABLE PREMIUM PULLS I'VE GOT LIKE WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW WITH 2 VAANS AND 4 GODDAMN SHANTOTTOS A lot of them were gold 4 star's too, so I'd be like "Sweet, hope it's something useful this time OOPS LOL IT'S BEDILE" Tiny Chalupa posted:Finally pulled a 3 star exdeath and vaan everyone is kinda crap though You should keep that. In addition to Full Break, Vaan's second last skill boosts magic damage by a chunk which pairs well with mages. Guess who's the best black mage around

So far my team is CoD, Leo, Vivi, Shantotto, and Galuf. Who should I drop for an eventual healer? I thought maybe either Shantotto or Vivi, but idk if doublecasting or stronger spells is better. Also, whats the consensus on Leo? Cursory googling seemed to imply he might be able to reach 6* eventually? edit: also is there anything else i should save lapis for other than rare pulls

Coming from FFRK, the tiered-* system is a little confusing, since it's possible to pull different versions of the same character. From the subreddit, it seems like that default * level doesn't really matter, though, since it's "easy to rank them up"? My most recent run-through, and first time with someone in the "best" category is: 3*: Vivi, Anzelm, Krile, Rydia, Galuf, Sabin, Maria, Maria, Anzelm, Maria, Exdeath 4*: Miyuki Seems like just having Exdeath might not balance out the relative "meh"/heavy on black magic of the other pulls?

What am I supposed to be doing with all these 1-2 star mooks? Feed them into Exdeath? I think I gathered that I'm supposed to level all three of my Galufs up to eventually get a Trust level or something like that at least.

acumen posted:What am I supposed to be doing with all these 1-2 star mooks? Feed them into Exdeath? I fed them to copies of themselves just to get the TM. You get so many dupes of the 1 and 2 star guys that it doesn't take that long to get all of the TMs if you play every day. Then start on a second copy. Some of them have surprisingly decent TMs as well.

So with 1* to 3* friend mooks, can you get their TM twice? I know you get a TM bonus if you feed the same character to itself, but say Rizer who has HP +10%. Is that a skill for himself or is it a passive accessory? That being said, if I fully TM a character and then have another copy of that character can I get that copy's TM too? And can I feed the 100% TM copy to the new copy? Samba De Amigo fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jun 30, 2016 |

So if you have 4 Galufs you can get them all to 100 and have 4 comet abilities you can assign. I am curious if Shantoto's 30% MAG stacks now that I think about it, though I only have two of her, Exdeath with +60% MAG would be nice.

Oh yeah, this game exists. I'm having trouble with getting the game loaded up on BlueStacks at all, which is getting somewhat annoying! It used to work well on the pre-global thingie of the last month. It seems to crash after it's done 'downloading' during that short animation of the main characters running on chocobos.

So I'm not exactly keen on messing about with rerolling and making dummy Facebook accounts, but I figured I would bite the bullet if I pulled nothing but garbage. Having said that, I spent 3 tickets last night and pulled a 4* Garland and 4* Cecil, which seems to satisfy my fairly low standards for not rerolling (though I haven't linked the account to my FB yet). Should I just spend the rest of my tickets/lapis now and see if I get anything else good, or should I save them for some future event?

Pretty much all of the story content you can auto through with a physical based team other than maybe a handful of quest bosses and late story bosses depending on your party when you complete them. Your team has more magic abilities but a same element -aga and ara spells, for the elemental chain, from Exdeath and Krile will kill any non-boss monsters likely in one round. Only battles that require a bit of strategy are late colosseum bosses, 2* espers, and trial bosses (we only have the White Dragon right now). Colosseum gets unlocked in Royal Capital Grandshelt at the top left of the map.

So I've been playing for a couple weeks pre-release, and didn't bother rerolling to start. My first rolls were Maria, Sabin, and Clyne, and they've taken me to Wolfsfang Peak so far, but I figured it'll be easier to make two weeks of story progress than it would be to farm enough lapis to roll a stronger team, so I might as well roll tickets now and if they are all crappy, reroll from scratch. So I rolled: 3* Vivi 3* Krile 3* Edgar 5* ExDeath ... and stopped immediately, cause drat. Obviously I'm keeping this account as my main now, but I'm wondering if I should sit on the rest of my pulls until a Rate Up and trust my current roster to carry me until then, or keep pulling now to shore up any gaps that I don't currently see. I have Steal on Lazwell right now, so I do have that base covered. Is there anything else I'm missing that may make me hit a wall in the near future? Also, suggested Team Comp? Rain, Laswell, ExDeath, Krile, Fina/Maria(when she gets her 5star)?

I'm being rather hard-nosed about rolling an Ex-Death in my starter bunch. My best roll so far had Bartz and CoD, but the rest were just absolute junk (4 Shadows, yeah, no). Curse you, perfectionist me.

Garland and Cecil can carry you through most of the content currently available. Who was the 3rd pull? If the other pull was decent then those 3 plus Rain and Laswell are fine and you will be able to do all the current content, you might have to just grind a bit more than others.

For your 5th, I'd say choose your fav out of Zidane, Garland, Edgar, or Kain. Doesn't really matter tbh because double barrage from CoD and Bartz will pretty much wipe the board. Maybe replace with Fina once you get her since she's more of a dedicated healer than Cecil. Edit: Actually go with Zidane, so that you can steal stuff. So CoD, Bartz, Cecil, Zidane, Shantotto.

Twelve by Pies posted:Magicite is only for leveling Espers, right? I'm not going to run into recipes that require it or anything? Magicite yes - but I recommend saving the colours of magicite for the espers which get a boost from it, some of which aren't released yet. TM will eventually be able to be raised by TM Moogles, similar to the Metal Cactaurs and Gil Tortoises. No idea when they will roll it out, though.

From what I understand if you have multiples you can grind out TM% by throwing them all in one party, grinding it out, and then combine them into one dude who then inherits the combined TM%.
