How can I like this post more? The problem with WoW became it was the ideal, not just an ideal or a great example of, MMO. The industry hasn't recovered since Blizzardmageddon. Hell, not even Blizzard knows what to do in the MMO space some 15 years later.

It's not quite random. There was a Reddit post on how you can manipulate it. I didn't read it, but should be searchable if you're interested. Since we know that 6* abilities are coming soon, these Ether SB's will be useful as even in JP they can't reliably hone them yet.

100 gem'd Exdeath's EnDark relic, which is cool. Def needed the V synergy, and gives me a second very strong self-buffed Mage to stand next to Vincent. Excited to see Cid from Tactics is dropping in JP. I haven't played over there in months, but try to collect my daily mythril. Will be...

Any word if they're going to keep doing this half-season shit? Splitting it up between summer and winter sucks.

Yeah that was TSW (now defunct). The sit-in was epic.

Another boring week. Incredible in its predictability, the plot moves forward. Show is bogged down in quicksand, waiting to be jump started.

I'll add on to this just to say Secrets speaks the truth. PC client is more stable than any emu I've played. I don't have issues really ever. Feels super solid all around. Staff is dedicated to perfection and it shows. Torven's work authenticates stable release.

Rachel getting questioned by a classmate, going after her, and going on to drop debate.

Yay winter.

Velious announced for September 21st. I am only level 49. There is much work to be done.

I wouldn't say forced, but it has zero creativity. It's a synopsis of every jail stereotype and nothing more. It's not enjoyable.

Yes. Pirate Faris with pink hair. At night without my glasses, the two names look the same I swear!

Lucky draw was a bust. I'm targeting Fran's BSB as my next chase item. I need V synergy and Fran's one of my favorite characters. Unfortunately, I can't stop pulling anymore even though I don't need any relics. Not sure how much Mythril I'll have stocked up in six weeks.

All the stuff in jail is too stereotypical. At least what is happening at the firm and at Harvard is interesting.

Action is heating up. With the election, all parties are vying for power and political clout. Bassam needs to shut down his sister-in-law and the radical Islamists before it's too late, because democracy.

Nightmare dungeons are open one third of the time. All previous nightmares are available. The same is true of Mote dungeons. My VIII characters aren't well-leveled, and the SB's I have aren't conducive to success against Ifrit. A couple Rinoa thrown weapons, Quistis Whip, and Swords offer...

They're different. I enjoy FFRK, but couldn't get into FFBE. FFRK gives you all the characters, and focuses on a more traditional turn-based JRPG gameplay. Maybe one mobile game is already plenty for me (RIP my once-again-abandoned JP FFRK account), but BE didn't appeal to me in either the...

Ya, promising start to a new season. Political turmoil, violence in the Middle East, and American Interventionism!

Didn't go after FF7 CM, probably should have. FF4 Cid Missions went as I'd expected - U wasn't difficult, U+ was a lot of S/L. For the U+ I took Edge (have his Lightning Katana for the weakness), Golbez darkness caster, Edward support, Pecil for Banishing Strike, and Tellah was my best WHM...

This is me too. Looks nice, but for $40 these days I can find much better value. Price drop seems inevitable.

Is this a patch, or is this an entirely new client? Or, can I use those files to copy/paste into my existing game that has my settings and such, or do I need to back those up and drop them into a new install?

I haven't run native Wall since I got Shout. Summoner Draw gave me two thrown weapons for Rinoa - her lightning SB and her SSB. Hurray for weird VIII weapons that limits the characters I can use (looking at you, Quistis' whip). Now I can ignore all VIII banners for a long time - what was my...

Yeah, that's what I suspected. Codebase plays very well. I've had zero issues, which is saying quite a lot for an EMU. The only thing to scare players off should be the client itself, not the work the devs have done, which again is incredibly impressive. Kunark isn't super fun, but it's...

Started up here this week, first time playing since Alpha. The forum tools are slick and easy. Installation has been made very easy. The game plays well, at least at the lower levels. My monk dodges a lot, haven't seen mobs warping or getting stuck under the ground. No complaints. Hope...

Great guide. Upvoted on Reddit also.

You get a free hero soul, MC1 lode, and MC2 lode every week if you clear the events. Way more than you can use - I don't recommending buying them from the green shop. I recommend breaking Tyro, Cloud, Ramza to 65+ sooner rather than later for their Record Materias. After that, Beatrix, Locke...

Vincent dark mage is amazing. Sure, he just spams DPS, but that's what three of my characters already do. WHM + SUP carry all my mitigation--might take a break as filler (because R3 Lifesiphon doesn't last the entire fight)--and there's a lull in great physical ability combos right now anyway...

Yes!

I think you guys are overthinking the U+. With haste, ninja + 1 lightning user is enough (I liked Ramza - Full Break only covers 4 turns anyway, gear for MAG; double-ninja party is totally viable) to get in three turns no problem - I had Celes and Vincent with Lightning/Ice and never stopped...

Changed my RW to Celes' Runic - oTPN. Probably going back to Shout on Monday. Ninja scroll on Ramza was super good on U+ (hit for 8.9k, and the quick cast time is money). Was tempted to run Thancred as well, but I haven't honed the 4* ninja scroll and wasn't particularly motivated to do...

The plot thickens!

Stop using two healers. Ashe is a black mage, not a white mage. Ditch Tyro--Basch does the Tauntilate thing just fine--and use a real character with stats. Use more mitigation. If you aren't using Magic Break and Shellga, start using them both on every fight that deals magic damage (Power...

Shame really. Arrow was a TV darling.

Laguna's a solid machinist/combat character. His stats are basically equivalent to Lightning/Squall/Cloud, with good ability selection (machinist 5, combat 4, celerity 4), but his weapon selection is a bit limited. Not a standout, but he's plenty serviceable and the jacket is 100% chance to...

Balthier's Capella is one of the better SB weapons, congratulations! He's one of the game's top characters, no doubt. Wakka is awful, ditch him ASAP. Ashe is a fine black mage, fairly middling. Vaan will be a great addition to your team - he has good stats, can use a lot of equipment...

Really enjoyable. Lots of fun. Lots of ha-ha moments.

I remain totally let down by this season. Stan is so close to connecting the dots!

I really like Faris. We just skipped the event which would have given us her MC2, though. Faris has a super wide ability and equipment selection - Thief5, Sup5, Dancer, etc. makes for some really fun combinations. Like Ramza, she's equally good as a support or something else entirely. WHM...

I pulled Sephiroth's Coat. It turns the 4* Samurai skill into an AOE 2.4x multiplier (the 5* Samurai is 2.6x and can break the damage cap since it's two hits). It's cool to have a host of decent 5* armors to go around. Two of the ATK shields plus two ATK light armors is cool, though never...

Good to know, I still have a bunch of Advance friends I haven't cleared out. Keeping Advance up for this event (oTPN for anyone who hasn't added me yet). Probably changing to Shout afterwards, barring any requests or special circumstances from around here.
