Wait, did you ACTUALLY receive an in-game invitation to Unit 14 Lost Force or are you just playing around? I *think* you're just kidding because I'm pretty sure if you received an invitation that you would provide snapshot evidence.

Had a great session last night with @Makoeyes987 and @Erotic Materia, plus guest appearances from a few randoms when Erotic Materia had to bounce. We won! A lot! Which actually counts as my first time winning since the tutorial! Plus Mako got his Doom achievement, and one for surviving to the end while blasting a personal radio the whole time.
I wish I could take screenshots mid game without risking death, because there were some great moments. Personal fav - the three of us on chocobos hunting a team down through the slums like a goddamn velociraptor pack.
Close second would be the first time we won - it was me, Mako and a random who didn't have a mic and was mostly doing their own thing. Mako's app crashed and he died, I was running towards a PHS to revive him, when someone started shooting me. I think I literally said "oh hang on let me just kill this guy", smacked him with a sword a few times and then bam, victory screen! Literally my first win ever!
I also managed to learn not to run directly at the enemy when Mako's about to cast Firaga. I died like four times before learning this, but I did eventually learn it
I realised the first time we won that we'd all chosen the same winning emote - the little action your character performs when you win. It's a cool sword spin attack that you get after hitting a certain level on the Warrior class.
So next time we won, I tried to get an even cooler shot of us all doing our badass sword flip and uh...
Made better by the fact that I accidentally closed the app while trying to take this shot, so I only found it once I'd stopped playing.
Finally, here's a couple of results shots, just to prove we're the best.
Disclaimer that I'm pretty sure my kill count is only so high because the others soften the target up with magic and bullets, then I come in and killsteal with my sword haha.
If anyone else wants to play together let me know! I think I like team matches more than solo at this point. Just takes a bit of timezone coordination.
Had a lot of fun playing with you all. Those were great matches! Thanks to you all, I got that extremely difficult "Doom Defiance" achievement. It was awesome.

LOL a drunk Shock Trooper somehow makes his way into SOLDIER
After those games, I kept playing for awhile, achievement hunting. And I accidentally kept playing Teams instead of Standard.
They were legit. Thanks to random teammates and their help, I got the achievement for staying Level 1 an entire match and winning, and then winning 5 times in a row. That Unknown Entity was straight up Deadshot; they would just climb up somewhere. Bust out their sniper rifle, and then just pick off people left and right. LOL it was great.
Then, I decided I would go for one of the hardest achievements. After several hours and attempts,
Grand Slam was a pain in the ass. First, I misunderstood the requirement of "6 types of guns." I thought it meant 6 different guns, but it means specifically "types." As in, handgun, assault rifle, sniper rifle, large machine gun, small machine gun, and shotgun. So you have to find every type of gun in a match, use it to kill an opponent, and then find another to switch to. Chocobos have been nerfed so the only feasible time to kill a player with one is during the very beginning of a match, so I would land immediately near a chocobo signpost, call my bird, ride it, and kick to death the first player I found. The others kills weren't too difficult to do. A Sorcerer's melee attack is easily capable of killing a player early in the game, and I got my materia kill at the very end, KOing the last opponent. A chocobo rider who was coming at me, that I blew up with a Dragon Slave Firaga to the face. Took a long time to accomplish but satisfying to achieve.

A little off topic here, but am I the only one who dislikes the mouth masks? I mean, the last thing I want when playing a fantasy game, is to be reminded of real world problems.

Naw, you were takin' names and kickin' ass

WHAT'S UP EVERYONE I GET TO SIT AT THE GROWN UP TABLE NOW
I've been on a roll tonight. Being more aggressive has changed the game for me. I no longer take my time, careful of my footsteps, and watch the battlefield from the bushes. I actively seek out opponents and treasure chests. I've been getting 6-9 kills per match and consistently finishing in the top 3. Turns out, other players are as scared of me as I am of them! So strike first and strike hard!
Another big game changer is finally feeling comfortable enough with the controls to use all my resources. For example, when I see a enemy, I fire off all my magic. The other players seem to assume that I know what I'm doing and freak out. Then I finish them off while they're bewildered. Great fun.
Funny story, I got this win while chilling with my family and watching Home Alone Happy holidays everyone!
It definitely pays to go after chests, fight and not be afraid of battle. That's how you ensure you're leveled up and ready for the final phase. Congratulations!
Alright folks, I will be available to play 9pm-12am AEST Tuesday (that's Tuesday morning in the US and Tuesday afternoon in the UK).
Additionally, I will be available to play 9am-12pm AEST Wednesday (that's Tuesday evening in the US and Tuesday night in the UK).
Let me know here or via DM if you're interested in partying up
I may not be online the entirety of those times, however I will be regularly checking this forum for notifications if anyone is interested. Also happy to jump on early or stay late if it works out better for someone. Just let me know!
Last night @Leafonthebreeze jumped into one match with me and we crushed it! Great fun. Our third player was a warrior and had a Buster Sword in hand and a Buster Sword strapped to their back. They were like Angeal on crack
The next morning @Makoeyes987 and I gamed for 3 hours and secured four wins Right away we were paired up with a good team player who jumped on chat with us, so that helped. By the end we had figured out a pretty great party composition!
It was a fun match! We also managed to look a lot less dorky on the victory screen haha
Played another match later that day and still didn't win but did get my highest killcount so far
I'm free to jump on again for a bit from 1pm GMT if anyone else is.
