Gravity spells cost MP though so she better have a lot of ethers handy when out in public.

In my experience Record Keeper is an order of magnitude less scummy than Brave Exvius and Mobius re: transparently coveting your wallet. There is definitely still gacha shenanigans but you can get by quite comfortably as a free player.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
I got really bored with record keeper considering how much you have to do before anything interesting happens with the combat. Exvious and Mobius both gives some actual menu choices which makes them more engaging, and I liked that Exvious was a full game on a phone and the content seems to be perfectly doable with free stuff which is what I consider good.

Title is Dissdia Opera Omnia. Turn-based RPG featuring a cast from all the FF games. Getting a 3-D Record Keeper vibe from the initial video. iPhone/Android.

I'm already convinced that my wallet will bleed from this one. And yeah, it has a gacha. Confirmed already.
Beta Registration for the JP version gets you Seymour, Terra and Mog right out of the gate.







OK, I'M SOLD. gently caress you, gently caress all of you, I don't give a poo poo about Brave Dongsvius, Record Cukper, or All the Butz, but I love Dissidia and I'm getting this. The Spiritus design looks fine, you loving goons. I'm gonna spend SOO MUCH MONEY on this, I'm already hhype, I'm getting hype right now, let's go, let's go, oh yeah, this is sooo goooooood. Aaah, I'm so excited for a new Dissidia!

That being said, I don't agree with it being a turn based game, because Dissidia isn't really that at all, despite the two PSP games having a (garbo) RPG system in place because somehow they thought it would work, but a full fledged fighting game being on the phone would probably be a hassle for everybody, both devs and players, so whatev. I hope the story is EVEN MORE ridiculous.

Complaining about bizarre character design is 25% of the fun of this thread.

The other 75% is complaining about the games, complaining about the staff, and complaining about Gologle.

For those wondering, Mobius is a direct sequel to FF1. The reason why the world is dying? Direct result of Warrior of Light breaking Garland's time loop.

FF1, Dissidia and Mobius take place in the same universe. Mobius is the bridge between FF1 and Dissidia. You'll understand a bit more when the crossover events start coming.

Gameplay-wise, it's FF13 with a twist. Paradigm Shifts are a thing and will be coming down the pipe in due time. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBEooIk2ahA

RK does fine on most devices. Mobius is one of the most graphically intensive titles on the smartphone market and requires something med to high end from the last 2-3 years to run well.

That said, you can also run it on a PC under Nox or Bluestacks. And it looks fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0huxqOkA6Xc

Mobius was largely created by former The Last Remnant (Unreal Engine experience) and FF13 devs (reassigned after Lightning Returns), as a project to see if Square Enix could put mainline FF production values into a mobile game (yes, you can). That should tell you all you need to know.

If you've played through either The Last Remnant or the 13 trilogy, Mobius will both sound and feel familiar.

... especially when the FF13 event hits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPtLqnbmuHo

You could probably waste an entire day asking questions about Marteria's design. Like, why is she wielding a staff when she has six swords on her back? Wouldn't using gears for heels be extremely dangerous? How the hell do the dress and crown stay up?

Still not as many "WTF" design choices as Luso though.
I see her crown as a literal can of worms in a still image.

FFRK was fun for a while but all the later difficulty stuff boils down to "have these exact skills from gacha or you're megafucked" and the game had a really bad issue for me where there was a 3s delay between every animation for some loving reason, no matter what device I used.
