Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

[Sprites]

Glad to see a new raid up and about collect a lot more cactuars and gil this way rather than the dunes. Originally I was gonna see Orlandeau for chaining on the raid but my Olive can one shot the raid boss and is needed for the omega trial so she's the better option for peeps, until 7* I was never a big fan of olive but she's a heck of a damager.

Was a bit annoyed the weapons upgrading event ended during maintenance, instead of ending the following day like all other events. Almost had the 10% trust moogle.

 

[Sprites]

Yeah I don't know why they did it a day earlier than planned ?

 

[Sprites]

Definitely weird but everytime I do the 5% daily and then use a 3* ex ticket I've got a rainbow case in point the two ex tickets we got in the log it's this month gave me blues, used an EX ticket right after and each one has given me a rainbow, Basch, Nichol and now Gladiolus

 

[Sprites]

Sooo, these select tickets, we're being screwed over in comparison to the JP version.

They get 1000 mk currency one which we don't we only got the 150000 one and they had two MK events where they weren't introduced to us, their ffviii event had them which we didn't get and another one.

Also in comparison to JP version our tickets well we can only use them on 5* units that can only currently be enhanced to 7* units meaning we don't get to use them on all 5* units only the ones that can currently being enhanced.

Honestly I feel this is a bit of a cop out and if it wasn't for the fact I've just pulled Nichol I'd honestly be so pissed off that you can only pull units currently reaching 7*

Also they're releasing in comparison to JP the batches of 7* a lot slower.

So yeah it's a bit annoying that we've got a select ticket we can use and yet none of the units currently in the summon pool I actually want to summon.

 

[Sprites]

We have to wait two weeks after his banner to use it and other 7* units you can't use it on their banner right away which doesn't make any sense.

He is top for a VERY long time I think Jecht several months later was the next unit to essentially dethrone him but even then he's still rated incredibly high

The subreddit is blowing up at the moment

In this week's event, evidently very few of my companions are using the bonus-giving characters, so it is going to be a chore trying to get to that ridiculous amount of event currency for the ticket. I haven't struck a rainbow summon for ages either, which is odd because I thought they had slightly increased the rates. Finding time to do all the "optional" things (see: not optional, given the equipment rewarded is often vital for future battles) is discouraging me also.

 

[Sprites]

They're not using them because the banner is awful and people are put off pulling my the moment because of the way 7*s are being handled among other things. I'm not even doing dailies on this banner I'm literally buying the regular summon tickets and that's it.

 

[Sprites]

There's a lot of tension that they might add Gabranth to his banner gabranth has been missing for a good while from the banners. But I think there'll be an uproar. Double rainbow banners aren't particularly well received because the rate is essentially slashed in half.

 

[Sprites]

It's all hearsay at the moment but it wouldn't surprise me if they did that, it's not the first time they've done double rainbow banners.

 

[Sprites]

Wouldn't be the first time they've done something stupid

 

[Sprites]

Congrats.

So it's turns out Gumi's original intent was to give us the second 5* select ticket behind a paywall they forgot to remove the graphics for a deleted bundle on the rotating thing on the homepage called units galore and it showed a select ticket.

Reddit found out posted about it (well done to them) and now gumi is massively backtracking and saying its their current intention to give us two tickets a month (note current, not original) bit the damage has been done because now everyone knows that the second select ticket (the 1000 mk currency Japan gets) was locked originally behind a paywall of course there's still a chance they'll make the stupid decision to release it as a bundle but that would cause a major uproar.

 

[Sprites]

Annnd it just gets better so shantotto and Shadowlord were added to the select pool too early so gumi shut the game off for emergency maintenance and remove them from anyone who used their select tickets to get them (refunding the tickets) like are you actually joking me? is it actually hurting anyone to have the units a week early they're hardly the most highly powered units even at 7* there, what a fucking farce.

 

[Sprites]

Shouldn't have happened, in the meantime one of my Ray Jack units is missing and I've had to submit a ticket, not the first time I've heard players comment that their units are missing.

I swear I'm this close to asking google play to refund all my previous purchases on this game the shit storm right now is also unbelievable, honestly it feels likes the game is completely ripping us off right now.

 

[Sprites]

The only filter I have in is sort by trust name and I have my other Ray Jack sitting there so it's nothing to do with that unfortunately.

 

[Sprites]

Complete and utter fuck ups honestly don't know what they're playing at right now.

 

[Sprites]

And almost a week later im still waiting on a response about my missing unit.

 

[Sprites]

Update: I'm now currently in an argument with support about my missing unit they keep telling me their records show I fused it I keep telling them I didn't and I've had it in my inventory until last weeks maintenance, I requested that they reinstate it, which they've said they can't do, I've told them I've seen them do it for players before (and if last weeks maintenance taught us anything they're able to remove units and roll back accounts so that's a blatant lie) they've also now told me the reinstate policy is only for accidently sold units, funny that seeing as they're working on an issue to reinstate players units that were accidently converted into prisms so that's another blatant lie. I really don't know what to do anymore...

 

[Sprites]

Well I contacted google play store asked them if the could help me out at all don't know how much they can help me but customer support won't.

 

[Sprites]

Anyone any luck with Hyoh yet?

I've got Pro Glacial Lasswell on the second 11k step up I ran out of lapis after step 4. I still have 10 summon tickets left I got Reberta my first one and my fourth Atoning kain. Not gonna lie in disappointed none of those rainbows were a Hyoh but even if I get one I haven't used my select ticket yet so I can still at least go for that if need be.

Edit:ok changed my mind and used my last 10 tickets final ticket was a rainbow and it was my third Marie, just don't get it if the rate up is supposed to be on the banner then why do I keep getting off banner ones

Google Play haven't got back to me yet about my Ray Jack issue I don't think I'll ever get it back at this rate.

 

[Sprites]

Final step of the 11k done today as I've been finishing the story and the colour of heartless event it gave me 3 Hyohs! I'm going to use my 5* summon ticket for a second Trance Terra.

Never did get any further confirmation about my Ray Jack unit unfortunately.

 

[Sprites]

This is a tough raid, either you need light imperil and light chaining or mages to wallop the boss, I'm going down the light chaining route because it's easier set up at the moment. This Boss' DEF is through the roof (although It's SPR isn't) even with Lid's breaks and Nichol's buffs I'm having to use Hyoh and Orlandeau and a friend of either with Excalibur equipped and Fina to finish.

I swapped out Basch For Fina and finally managed to get things going consistently, her Scared Burst ability is excellent for finishing chaining but it's definitely a tougher raid which is a little frustrating because for raids you really just want a quick finish.

On another note I really like what they've done with the fan created units, they've done a great job with them.

 

[Ghost X]

Looking forward to upgrading all them 7* releases. Pity I got nowhere near the in-game money to do it .

 

[Sprites]

Yeah the game is doing well for it, I feel like they're pulling back from all the shittyness at the moment.

Just raid and sell turtles Ghost also don't forget the weekends have the gil snapper caves to help but yeah 7* awakenings and enhancing are super expensive as is gathering Cactuars. I've some that could be awakened hit ive chose not to because I'm never going to use them, I did however awaken Ren and Beatrix because I had 3 of each of them to get those 50% trust moogles.

Rem I've been looking forward to awakening she was one of my first units I pulled that was seen as game changing because of reraise being introduced with her and she is just so good in terms of versatility that I've swapped my CG Fina out for her. I prefer focusing on her MAG stat because with dualcast, tornado and quake chains she's so easy to partner with units and her dagger boomerang ability runs off her MAG stat but her SPR stat I noticed while levelling her is really decent anyways.

She's great to take for loads of mission completions too cause she's an ability where she KOs herself but she fills the esper gauge straight away so you can get the defeat with an esper mission and any of those cast a certain element missions as she's access to nearly every element except light and dark.

 

[Sprites]

Pulled a Citra with my daily she's a fab summoner so I think I'm gonna level her and then maybe with some luck I'll pull another and get her 7*.
