Mobius Final Fantasy (formerly "Mevius Final Fantasy")

[Cthulhu]

Downloaded it too, let's see if it's anything.

 

[Ghost X]

Tell me if it is better than the brave exvius game

 

[Strangelove]

just got a push notification saying that there's going to be a windows/steam version of this, which will also let you share savedata with the mobile one

 

[Claymore]

Now I know why I couldn't find this thread despite trying to search for it countless times, lol. I kept trying to type in 'Mobius'...

I am REALLY enjoying this game btw. Love the gameplay and multiplayer is really fun as well.

 

[AvecAloes]

I just downloaded it this morning, and spent maybe 30 minutes poking around. So much tutorial! I'll have to mess around with it again later.

 

[Strangelove]

I can't change the thread title and it was 'mevius' at first

I also haven't done multiplayer with actual humans

Chapter 6 was just released in Japan and there is a bit of a shakeup with characters

Spoiler: not a story spoiler and they announced this beforehand but still

you control Meia the witch from the battle tower and multiplayer and she has exclusive jobs

. I've not started it yet (trying to finish the Dragon Quest collab regions first before they end) but it sounds interesting

 

[Claymore]

Ooh, that's a cool twist. It recently released chapter 3, part 1 for the english version.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I updated the thread title.

 

[Still Unnamed]

Looks like they released an art book for the game last week. Here's the URL to check it out: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/magazine/gamebooks/ff/mebius_fac/?_ga=1.100924417.1655016386.1476819622

A special event is now live due to the game reaching 8 million + downloads. A special login feature has been added giving out summon cards and other goodies every day from now. Users also get a FREE ability summon every day.

Also the November calendar is stacked with tons of scheduled events, including a new slot to existing Jobs.

This game is really rocking at the moment.

 

[ultima espio]

The JP version is getting another collab with FFVII remake soon.

Is this just the same as the last one?

 

[Claymore]

Well ... if it's anything like the sheer shit storm that is happening on the global servers due to the release of the first ever Legend Job (Tidus) ...

People are losing their shit that they are being asked to spend something like £56 in order to get it.

 

[Strangelove]

the ffvii remake event looks like it will be a rerun of the original one. they've done second runs of events in the past, usually adding some gameplay adjustments or such (shortening the number of battles to get through, etc). it looks like they are adding the ability to control cloud this time around. i finished the main story bit of the ffvii event last time i think, but maybe i can get through the extra dungeons/battles this time

i am hoping they repeat the ffxii event at one point because i ran out of time to finish that one

also the moogle event (for a third time) and the chocobo event

i say this as an event is on right now (rerun of the omega battle tower) and i haven't even started it. not even started chapter 6. not even done any of the bonus job regions. i keep meaning to sit down and play some of the new stuff but never get around to it

People are losing their shit that they are being asked to spend something like £56 in order to get it.

is that through the card summoning thing (or more correctly buying gems to get summons)? are they doing the thing where there you have a certain number of summons and if you haven't gotten the job by the end (say the 8th time you do a draw) you're guaranteed to get it?

with the japanese server they have brought back legend jobs in special summoning events after the initial release. i've managed to get some of them (tidus, cloud, squall, ninja onion knight, ffxiii hope, noel, some purple mage guy from dragon quest) without having to pay anything, but i did miss a bunch too (dissidia warrior of light, mage onion knight, ffxiii snow, ffxiii-2 lightning, a knight and a monk job from dragon quest).

i mainly hope that a good draw is going on when my gift box subscription runs out so i can you the 6 summon tickets you from from that on a fancy draw. (because i will end up using them straight away since i can't help it)

Unfortunately not ... which is where a lot of the anger is coming from. Just listen to this: within a 2 week time period, players have to purchase a 12,000 Magicite package in order to get Tidus' Ace Striker Job. Now, it doesn't matter if you had managed to save up or purchase Magicite beforehand - that doesn't count at all. Only Magicite bought within this specific timeframe does ... and you need to spend (converted to my UK currency) £54.99 in order to get this Job.

It's not available in the normal Card summon pull. There's been no information that they are going to ever put in into the normal Card summon pull (despite bombardments on their social media page). People are genuinely angry with this blatantly greedy cash grab - and it's completely understandable to see why.

£54.99 ... I mean ... that FFXV right there. What a joke.

 

[Strangelove]

I've been pretty happy with the Japanese server's management and while I can see where they do hope people will purchase iap (aforementioned '8 draws and guaranteed legend job' thing for example) I've always found it satisfactory without having to pay and like you at least had a chance. It's disappointing to hear that the English management has been pulling stuff like that. I remember the Japanese one doing the old 'buy iap and get bonus gems' kind of things, but never anything like that. It's really shitty that they'd pull a stunt like this with the first fancy job.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

This is the kind of stuff that happens with the short-run events for that excellent Mistwalker mobile game, Terra Battle, as well. It's just too much work/real money to get some of the stuff, and the optional superbosses are just fucking nuts impossible without pouring in more than they're worth.

Still a thoroughly enjoyable game up to a point, but it sucks that the extra content is just unreasonable.

 

[Claymore]

Chapter IV: Prologue has just been released, and with its completion, comes an added dimension to the game ... the ability to switch to a second Job in battle!

They've also launched a Weapon boosting function as well.

 

[Strangelove]

the weapon thing is nice but a) it eats up skill seeds like a fiend and b) 'spend 10,000 yen on magicite to unlock another slot!' is some cheeky shit you're pulling there, square

 

[Claymore]

Looks like the VII:R collab is coming to Global pretty soon. Here's hoping this also hints at some VII:R news also incoming.

Spoiler

 

[ultima espio]

There's a global steam version coming too:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/5b2kvb/mobius_ff_on_steam_for_global_is_on_the_way/

That VIIR event has Cloud voiced right? That could be the voice over that Steve Burton mentioned he'd done before Christmas.

 

[Strangelove]

it is partly voiced (opening and ending scenes, and regions' last boss scenes)

the original run for this event in the japanese version happened around the time the remake was announced (it was repeated recently but without any kind of news accompanying it), so this might mean there's something happening

Looks like the VII:R event will be released a day after Mobius launches on Steam - February 6th.

 

[Strangelove]

there is some mystery countdown event going on in the jpn version leading up to the end of the month, and this image appears during the loading screen

möbius had events for ffvii and ffxii that were followed by/accompanied game announcements, but it also had a ffxiii/lightning event that didn't seem to be tied in to anything new

so i guess we will see

 

[Teioh]

Which my google translate skills tell me that it'll give details on what's going on in February. Honestly I'm just stalking the channel waiting for news about the 30th Anniversary but may watch this just to see what the FFVII:R event looks like.

that 'vi' is 'v' today, it's merely a countdown and i didn't consider that at all
