it was ffvii related after all!!!!! ('cry of destiny' = 'fatal calling', the name of the upcoming sephiroth event)

they've started a set of multiplayer battles with sephiroth, although they start at rank 3 meaning there's not easier rank 1 or 2 missions like there usually are.

also there's a 'spend so-and-so-much money and get the soldier 1st class job' thing and no, square, fucking stop that.

there's a sephiroth themed job which i'm not sure if i will manage to get, but there's a special login bonus for 2 grow stars and 14? summon tickets, plus my gift box will run out in two days so i can get 6 tickets from that on top of the two i already have.

but it kind of sucks because the legendary/character jobs are usually the highest ranking in terms of stats and usefulness (i mainly use squall's/tidus'/cloud's), but that's no good if you can't get them. the japanese version at least tells you the odds of getting them (i think it's a legal requirement for games like this with what amounts of a lottery to get items that you can spend money on), but there's still slim odds. unless there's that limit thing that guarantees you will get the specific job if you haven't already. after like 8 draws. which if you're spending money, is 24,000 yen.

I was wondering what it was, since you guys had the crossover event already.

I've not even attempted any 3 star multiplayer battles yet, lol. Really should start to give those a look.

Yeah, the special Job for money thing has been going on in the US version for a while now. You have to spend £85 (roughly) on Magicite and you get the special job (the only way to get it).

A shame, but it's a really good game otherwise.

every time they release a new job (regular or special), there's an exclusive draw for it. soldier 1st was already available previously during the first run of the ffvii remake event, and in a revival draw with other cameo jobs.

the jobs-for-cash thing is at least not holding a brand new job hostage, but still. it's definitely not easy to get them if you're of the 'not buying lots of iap' camp.

Unfortunately, that's not how it works in the US version.

The special Jobs are held hostage under a paywall. The only way to get them.

Will this game be available on the mobile device for free on FEB 7TH too? Or do I have to pay to play Cloud's event/Sephiroth event? I'm confused about this game's release on mobile too or if it's just on the PC only?


Mobius is currently available on mobile, but will be released on PC / Steam next week.

Access to special events are free / open to all, so you won't have to pay in order to play through the scenario.

the other ffvii event ran for a month or two, i'm assuming this one will be at least a month (multiplayer sephiroth battle is running for 35 days)

I don't check this thread that often, but we should really have written something about this. We still can – I was going to put up an article about Sephiroth going to Mobius anyway – it just feels bad to be even a couple of days late on what is supposed to be our specialist subject (FFVII). We've gotta set up some process so that stuff like this doesn't fall through the cracks. In the meantime, if you (anyone) see something that you think we should publish and there's no evidence of me having noticed it myself, please come shout at me. :P

I'm sorry I didn't have time to dedicate to translating any of that stuff in the critical first couple of days. At this point, I imagine the information is already all out there.

Article: Sephiroth heading to Mobius Final Fantasy. Includes trailers and information about the Remake event.

That's almost everything from the 30th anniversary event. I'll probably put up an article about the new "key image" and other remake stuff tomorrow. I've been trying to do it in order of relevance to TLS from least to most so that the most relevant article gets the spotlight for the greatest length of time.

I was actually going to say something but thought that you guys must have it all in hand as I hadn't seen the key art go up yet, lol.

One suggested minor alteration Flint. Even though you mention that it is free-to-play at the beginning of the article, at the end you say:

Has the VII Remake event or Sephiroth’s inclusion in the game tempted you to buy Mobius Final Fantasy?

second draw, still no sephiroth cards (there's a standard job card and an 'ultimate hero' one to change the character model into sephiroth's)

only 6 more potentially fruitless draws to go :sadpanda:

Sephiroth: "The time has come. Even if you turn your back on the past, seal up your memories, and conceal reality with fantasy, the bonds of fate will rise again. Even if you wish to be forgotten at the bounds of memory, your past will become your curse and bind your soul."

Sephiroth: "The time has come. The time to awaken to your destiny and heed its call."

Cloud: "Reunion..."

Sephiroth: "It is your guiding light. Awake to your destiny, and heed its call."

Downloaded this from Steam a few minutes ago but saw this message:

SQUARE ENIX and Valve are currently investigating the issue where the Korean language version of MOBIUS FF is the only version available globally.
We are aiming to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

All I get when I load the game is a message telling me that a new version is available and to update the game lol oh well, I think I best leave it for now and try again later.

There's still a few teething issues with Steam, but it looks like they are finally sorting out the problems. I managed to get the Steam version up and running, and utilize the one-time passcode to enable cross-system sharing ... and indeed, the game looks absolutely stunning.

Do give it a go if you were unsure (or didn't have the space) on mobile. The gameplay is decent, the story is ok, there are lots of jobs and features that are still being rolled out, and you can easily make your way as a free-to-play user.


In celebration of the Steam version there are lots of login bonuses (including Summon Cards!), and they have universally increased the amount of Skill Seeds obtainable per Card level, within special Regions, and across the board. Grinding out your jobs should be a heck of alot easier.

Speaking of jobs, the upcoming FFVII collaboration event has undergone a change. It looks like they have finally listened to all the fans complaining about the US versions major annoyance at locking the Super Jobs behind a paywall every month.

They have now stated that Cloud First Class will be available within the normal card summon pool (3* or 4* summons) as a PERMANENT fixture, with a small chance to obtain him while doing the previously mentioned summon. Definitely a step in the right direction. They developers / marketing team were crazy to think that people would keep spending the equivalent of £85 - a month! - on the next better Super Job. Here's just hoping that this isn't a bait-and-switch, and the chance to actually obtain the job isn't ridiculously small to make people spend the £85 anyway, lol.

Anyway, go install and play and get ready for the VII collab event. I can't wait for it to land.

Looks like this is what Steve Burton was talking about recording for on twitter, rather than a new remake trailer.
 
That was some of the most flat and awkward voice acting I've heard in a long time. I can't recall ever thinking this negatively of a Steve Burton performance before, yet the player character of Mobius manages to be even worse. =/ This isn't voice acting, this is blind reading.

Thanks for sharing though.
