So I don't know how I feel about the anniversary now. NV era is interesting, if expensive and I don't like how they rushed and missed out on a ton of content just to get to it and now in order to ensure people pull on the missing banners they're going to have to majorly boost those units otherwise what's the point?

The new Elena is interesting but I really wish they had reworked a diffent unit like I know she won that contest to get a rework but the original unit is only over a year old and still pretty relevant in the current content I couldn't understand why people were voting for her last year.

Yoshikiri however looks awesome and i'm looking forward to reading more about him in the coming weeks and seeing what he does.

Unfortunately the livestream was at 2am my time and as today is a working day for me there was no way for me to participate in those early hours but nice we got all the rewards but I won't look forward to them being spread out.

All in all from what I've read it seems like it went very well...I just wish they hadn't rushed so much content.

Some very nice stuff to do in game yesterday, with lots of free pulls and using the slot coins.

The increased rate for 5* units was very noticeable, tickets like 5+1 tickets which are normally awful were giving me rainbows as were normal tickets, its very cool and a really nice change and they''ve added multi pulls to ex tickets thats a brilliant and time efficient change if you have a fair amount

So I decided to see what the NV era was all about I didn't get Cloud but I already have Tifa and had enough dupes and coins in the shop to get her to EX+2

There's a nifty little quest that nets you her, her prism, her TMR and Super TMR and the soon coins give you enough materials to get her to Ex+1 for free that's really cool that they're doing it and she's still pretty relevant in the current JP NV era.

Shes a bloody power house her brave shift limit burst is nuts! The anniversary Vision card is super cute!

I'm actually enjoying the new MK events you can't just go in with unlevelled units and expect to do a one and done button repeat.

The daily FF7 challenge as well you can only bring FFVII bonus units and its tough you can't just go in with one maxed out 7* bonus unit and call it a day. I ended up doing some levelling and maxed out my Aerith for heals and buffs and went grinded the MK event for enough points to prism Reno for and went and prismed Barret who I got in the middle of using some tickets on the banner as the first time I was getting wiped with my team and spent time gearing Sephiroth.

All in all so far i'm really enjoying the new format and extra toughness and I feel like the game has been rejuvenated a bit.

Yeah say goodbye to any future NV pulls though, i'd already done 3x5K pulls and the 4th freebie one with no luck on him during those so getting him from that FF7 ticket well, I think I just waved away a ton of luck for the rest of the year.

So far I can't do too much with him because I can't unlock his brave shift yet to play with I forgot unlike Tifa he needs a Transcension pearl to awaken to Ex+1 and until the end of the bonus log in period when we get a Transcension Pearl I can't do that he's still an absolute power house though, his CG limit burst is really nice and I did 100% his TMR and got that really cool Vision Card of Rain and Lasswell on the airship .

But I can't wait to unlock his brave shift form and have him on his bike smacking enemies :D

Its good having the extra bonus unit during a particularly grindy MK event, and I hope future LGD stages aren't as damn tanky as this one was in the beginning.

I'm now clearing the shop out of all the possible materials I can get as i'll probably never get the chance to have 2 300% (Coud and Tifa) and 2 200% (7* Barret and Reno) bonus units ever again, meaning any future MKs are gonna be grindy as hell. Last time I had that kinds of unit bonus was the anniversary MK event last year where all FFBE CG unita gave like 100% and 200% bonuses.

On another note as well thank goodness we have a story event coming up i'm in desperate need of some crysts now its been months since our last one!

The player's voice/choice i'm picking UOC tckets with NV era and older units awakenable to NV being able to either ticket them for fragments if the units ay 7* already or prism them to 7* feels more necessary or important than 6K lapis or STMR tickets.

Honestly anniversary was really rough and I thought depending on how the live stream went and with the early arrival of NV units that I might end up packing in the game altogether, but this is the first time in months i've genuinely enjoyed paying the game again and I feel a bit more refreshed with it.

There is nothing worse than unequipped friend units like just put something on them, anything!

Ahh yes I did i managed to get 80 mil before the issue but didn't realise it was an issue until i got kicked out of the server

Same here i've awoken a further 9 7* and gained 3 STMRs in the process but i'm low on cactuars now, thank goodness for the raid.
People are really cross about the gil issue but I think its more a case of people are angry that they're aways so quick to fix the stuff/bugs that benefit us but when there's bugs that don't they don't give a shit.

Yup that's why unless I get a lucky pull like with Cloud or have the units already to awaken like NV Tifa i'm ignoring NV units, the games content doesn't require them even in JP I don't think it does yet and its just a whale heavy system

This 100% its absolutely insane at the numbers and power some of these units get.

Sadly for me after initially finding the new brave shift system a fun new shiny toy to play with its now a grindy slog fest again

Haha, I haven't figured out how to do brave shifts yet. I assume I would have to awaken by NV unit first?

...I ended up getting another NV Remake Cloud from the daily free livestream draw. Normally, I would be all yay, I have shards to awaken Cloud, but...I already have all 50 shards..............

....Siri, play "Why", please. :closedmonster:

Congrats, keep those shards because you'll need them to eventually awaken him past Ex+1 and you need his EX+1 to use brave shift

His normal form is a tdh user and his brave shift form is a TDW user NV units when awakened to EX+1 also require you to equip them twice for their forms and some like Cloud or Aerith will do different things in brave shift compared to their Normal form i.e Aerith goes from healer to mage in her BS form

In the meantime set any you get in your raid team as bonus units, he packs a punch at the moment and if you haven't played in two years you can probably clear a lot of or 1shot a ton of content with him.

Well uh NV Era obviously likes me or something because I got Akstar using a 4* NV Ex ticket considering the rate for NV units is so low i've been very lucky, 4 remake Clouds, been able to awaken both Tifa and Lasswell and now Akstar.

Yeah I didn't intentionally pull on Akstar, I skipped Rain and also Aerith's banners altogether. I'm more looking forward to the Glex units than anything else.

Nva Lasswell is fun enough to use though

Sooo our brand new NV GLEX unit who is a support unit and probably Overpowered as fuck does not come with a safety net meaning if you're REALLY unlucky you could spend like 100k lapis and still not get him.

This unit was hyped during the anniversary and during the stream yesterday and then today its like no safety net for the Global Exclusive NV unit and you know Elena who is out next week is gonna be the same.

I was set to pull for him until that...so I guess for me it's back to hoarding until they release NV Cecil or something.

I'm baffled when I compare this gacha to DFFOO like you have one which provides safety nets, ia very generous with gems, tickets and what nots and is probably one of the most f2p friendly gacha games out there.

Then you have this one and its like how stingy can we be with our player base and how much money can we get out of them

Like even the players voice 6K lapis vote (people are stupid UOCS or STMRS were better)

They can't just hand it over in one lump its spread out over 21 damn days like come on seriously.

Turns out he's rather disappointing so im glad I have a reason not to pull

This thread hasn't been updated in a while probably for good reason.

I am done with this game, todays announcement kinda cemented it all.

Too many things that Gumi are either failing to deliver on or backtracking and i'm bored of this game after 4 years same old grind and content nothing is exciting anymore.

Lunar new year NV unit (Neo Visions are basically like 8* units sorta the equivalent of having a BT in opera omnia) announced which was fine but majorly overshadowed.

They announced the global exvlusive Lunar New Year units arent getting NVAs, (Neo Vision awakenings kinda like upgrading a 7* to 7.5 and gives some older units some amazing potential kinda like having LDs in Opera Omnia Tifa is still a top damage dealer thanks to her NVA) they'd set a precedent for it at xmas and halloween so everyone was expecting NVA for the older global exclusive units but uh they're not going to do that because uh they want to focus on uh...other global content???. And enhancements and latent abilities are being done away with after they announced last year they'd keep them going.


Not to mention because they rushed Neo Visions basically the gap between JP and global narrowed from about 9 months behind to only about 3 months, and they skipped A TON of content which currently we aren't seeing or hearing any updates on. Most of the main season 3 cast units were skipped being released and there's no update when we'll get them, Certain FF events were skipped FF9 and FF3 for a start, certain story events and a ton of other things

They also originally said Global would get a challenge chamber once a month, that's not happened either.

Its to be honest one disappointment after another on how they're handling global all their resources have been directed to War of the Visions and FFBE global is basically becoming a cash cow.

I held on as long as possible to justify my RL spending on the game in my early days (spent more than I ever should have on this game) but its time to drop out.

Second round of FFVIIR collaboration is hitting FFBE in Japan starting in April.

Cetra Descendant Aerith CG Limit Burst


Avalanche Tifa CG Limit Burst


Cetra Descendant Aerith will be made available to all players as a login reward. Her Brave Shift summons Red XIII to her side and they attack together as a Tag-Team unit (solo chainer).

Avalanche Tifa switches to her sporty dress for her Brave Shift.

There will also be a new Avalanche Jessie unit, and the previously released Rufus Shinra and Reno units will get NV Awakenings. Rufus's Brave Shift summons Darkstar to his side while Reno's summons Rude to his side, both becoming Tag-Team units. Like Cetra Descendant Aerith, Reno will be given out for free.

I'll post animations when they go live and the sprites get ripped, because FFBE has some gorgeous pixel art.

There's also going to be a new CG Sephiroth unit later in the month, likely along with another batch of FFVIIR units.
