    Elimo somehow manages somehow to be simultaneously meta as fuck and borderline unusable. Ishad kicked her ass to the curb for FG and I had to slot two insta-bb units to work around the bb handicap that come with her benefits. I just didn't have any other options.

    In the same boat as you. Iirc you've got Elimo and Darvanshel - I'm stuck with Elimo and Shera. I think I'm gonna experiment with Deimos -> Aurelia SBB and see where that takes me.

    Yeah, these legacy units got me playing casually again. And omfg skippable scenes now? In the annals of quality of life improvements, this ranks somewhere between penicillin and the wheel. I had seriously given up on that shit. Multiple runs through slow-scrolling and unskippable exposition...

    Lol, my typings are reversed and I definitely got the better. Breaker Hardon, Guardian Aurelia. I think Hardon is maybe my second type change ever - coulda sworn he was a guardian. Hardon has higher attack than breaker Ruby. Guardian Aurelia, otoh, has Kanon-level attack at like 1.9k at 120...

    Did more today than I have in a while. Farmed all the mats - took all my energy - for both Aurelia and Hardon and got them to 120 and max Sbb. Two almighty imps each + whatever I had in stock. Hardon with only about +200 attack and the FG 30% sphere has almost 4200 attack. Not minding breaker...

    I am and have been and will continue to be out of the loop, but I'm encouraged by your analyses. I've always held that units that do cool shit - Balgran, Luka, Rowgen - are infinitely more interesting and fun to use than units that bring simply unbridled power like Maxwell or Zenia. I also...

    What's the ? material for Hardon and Aurelia? The light and dark version of Tridon's mat? From the vortex gate that isn't up despite Gumi selling rateups on the units?

    Yeah, Yuna's and Rikku's I remember being pretty much a joke. Got Yuna's first and she started meleeing for 20k with her stupid rod bonk.

    If you need empirical evidence attesting to Zenia's UBB damage output head to floor 30 of FG, buff up, pop that shit, and behold the cratered remnant of a prior headache.

    Heh, yeah. Rikku and Yuna in particular had ultimate weapons that wereextremelyeasy to get and that quickly made a joke of the main game. Iirc all of them except Aurons - which seemed to suck - trivialized all but post-game content but a lot of them were a lot of trouble to acquire.

    Did two because I'm stupid and don't care and still retired so who cares. (Getting FH prizes though). Got two breaker Rignesses, making for a grand total of three Rignesses and three breaker Rignesses. Every time I summon I am confronted with statistical aberration.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Damn, that's pretty tempting. I don't know how big of a chain Mckay Books is so I have no idea if you guys are familiar with it - think it's maybe just in biggish cities in Tennessee? - but that's where I sell my games generally, because they've got universal credit there that's valid for games...

    Balgran's a lot of fun. Kafka makes me drool. I've been so fucking lucky of late with getting 7* units - not the ones I want, mind - that I'm not sure the God Gate or whatever it's called is what I'm saving for. I'm dormant right now, but I think what'll resolve me either to kick this shit to...

    Brave Frontier

    And yeah, during my final two weeks the game started throwing Animas at me. Animas of units that either I'd have killed for when they weren't flirting with slight obsolescence - Quaid - or units that I already had imped - Balgran - or otherwise stellar units that clashed with Zenia - Dion. And...

    Fuck, at this point I'd give her away. Getting her so easily actually contributed to my burnout because I simply don't have a way to put her in lead with no viable status null (unless I wanted to replace Deimos with Kanon, which is a good deal more depressing than shelving Bestie) and no viable...

    Withdrawal is real, fellas. Been doing a few daily tasks. That's about as much commitment as I can tolerate, though. You guys want Bestie (Anima), Deimos, Dion or Ruby as friend unit? Probably doesn't matter - my friends list had pretty much every useful unit - but figured I'd ask.

    Can't believe they made it past the Asylum Demon, even with democracy. Wonder if Dark Souls 2 would have been easier or harder. They'd despawn everything and lose a lot of souls, but get a straight shot to the bosses.

    I think Claire's really good. When I dropped Raaga as lead I used her as sub over him. Of course, Zenia shits all over both.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I'm a pretty huge jrpg enthusiast - I bought a PS4 with a mind toward the absurdly robust fall lineup that hasn't been matched since the ps2 days - but those MMO quests have definitely made their way into eastern rpg's. Newer iterations of Tales, Shin Megami, Star Ocean and others love makijg...

    I just don't see why they're even attempting this. Let's say they somehow make it through a few bosses. A lot of the easier areas are gonna be an utter nightmare for a character paralyzed by input overload. They better skip Blighttown. They better not ever encounter a basilisk. And Sen's...

    DS2 lacks that sweeping "omg - I am a few ramparts above where I just was an hour ago and I still see my bloodstain" level of interconnectedness, but some of its levels are just stunning. Wish they'd done more like Heide's Tower and The Lost Bastille and fewer like Black Gulch. I'd also prefer a...

    Lol, I plan on staying active in the thread regardless. At least until I lose track of the developments in the game to such an extent that I can't say anything meaningful.

    I owe a lot of my continued investment to the little community here. Me and Leto spouting irreverent, fun shit - we're serious, too, from time to time - and Ishad swooping in with the knowledge bombs. I'll miss that for sure, which is why I'm at least getting my daily login for now, but I...

    It's better than most in some ways. Your odds of getting something good on any given summon - even during no rateups - vastly exceeds the odds of getting something good in Summoners War. But this game is more about synergy than SW. I have a Bestie that I generally can't use. I have two...

    Goddammit. I pretty much quit a few days ago, but the flurry of activity here accentuates withdrawal. Need to hop back on this trainor stay away from the thread.

    Heh, I've steadily lost interest over the past month or so. Haven't tried Xie Jing or the new trial, haven't tried any Grand Quests past Seria's, only tried the new GGC once. Hell, I haven't even played today aside from logging in. Whether I need units or not, their acquisition is the bedrock...

    My luck in this game is so inconsistent it kills me. It was like 3 7 star batches and a few rateups before I had any 7 star units besides Kanon and Ivris. Then within 25 gems I got Claire, Raaga, Oguro and of course Deimos 30 gems into his event. It was also during that event that the game...

    I'm liking 13 more the second time around. Don't get me wrong - it's still the worst of the main series for me, but it's not that bad once you make it to chapter 11. The major problem for me - aside from the linearity - is the characters. A story-driven game where the best characters are the...

    And yeah, the rates have been abysmal for almost every event since the advent of 7 star units. I hadn't been playing long before that, but I swear I remember them being better. Maybe it's because they pollute their 'popular' rateups with 6 star trash. Not always even good 6 stars like Rosetta or...

    If you summon any more, I'd hold off on selling them with a probable super honor summon a few days away - level them at least to 4* 60 and get more points with all the fodder. Unless you, like me, started out really strong with the honor farming and then got lazy as fuck.

    Suggestions for a new author / series of books for me to read?

    Whoever suggested the Chronicles of Amber wins - fantastic series and I'll second them. Lord of Light is also great. Jack Vance's Dying Earth stories are complete, hilarious and essential.

    The way I see it there are three benefits to raiding. 1) Simply progressing has good rewards - a gem here, an imp there, etc for certain milestones. 2) Brave medals for slots. The rewards are pretty nice for these. Decent chance for imps, spheres, burst frogs and the like. 3) The bosses...
