    Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

    Time to start saving my gil in earnest now. According to a news update video posted this morning, we get the first batch of 7*s in August. Also, CG Raegen Friday. Dunno if he's worth saving for but since he's not named Hyoh, I probably won't go too overboard. Spoilered for size.

    Warframe

    I havent messed with Warframe since the Second Dream. I had some pretty solid top of the line and rare (at the time) mods. How has the mod landscape changed since then? Trying to gauge how far behind I am should I decide to dive back in.

    Definitely wait for Lid/Nichol. Lasswell is a decent finisher but there's numerous better options out there, he's far from a must have unless you're gonna go crazy until you get two Lasswells to prep for 7* (and run the risk of excessive amounts of Fina), save your resources. Grats too btw...

    That is a brutal streak of nothing. I wanted a second Fina as well but only burned a few tickets before luckily pulling her. Im torn over what to do with the rest of my resources. I really want a second Sakura but man if I get another CG Jake I'll have a hissy fit. I do plan to pull pretty hard...

    Apparently you cant return to a step up if you dont finish the full round all at one time. I did the first 3k pull on the attacker banner, went and did story missions until I earned enough lapis to go back for another step, only now I can't do anymore cause it's trying to start me from the...

    Got trolled pretty hard. Blew my EX stuff, the Anniversary 10+1, and did one round of the caster step up cause I really need some dupes of the units there. I got dupes all right, just not the right ones. Lulu #4, Barb #4, and Dark Fina #4 from the step up and the Anniversary stuff gave me CG...

    I have got to take advantage of the half off story and get caught up. I havent even done enough story to get to Fenrir yet, I'm super behind. The 5* EX ticket tomorrow, step up banner Friday, plus the 10+1 tickets we can buy with the anniversary coins, I'm feeling some more Reberta's coming my...

    That'll teach me for not reading this forum before placing an order for one. Picked up Gloomhaven and haven't even really unboxed it other than to take a peek at the contents. I was hoping to have an organizer on hand before popping everything out and setting the game up for the first time but...

    Of all of the things you mentioned, Manshaums were the easiest for me to grind on as a Valk. Stuff on the Steppe was just far too annoying with the stuns, screams, and knockdowns. Forgive me if I missed it in an earlier post, but what's the motivation for trying to grind down in Kama? In my...

    Think Im steering clear of this collab. I did however buy those bundles this morning and blew my tickets on the CG Nichol banner because Im greedy and was hoping for more Nichols to try for his STMR. Unfortunately my plan failed and all I have to show for it is another Zarglebargle. :(

    I ended up stripping down my lead Tidus to play around with something silly, so in the meantime I put a CG Sakura up as my lead in pretty much BiS gear in case anyone follows Sinzar's strat and needs a Sakura friend.

    Good info there, thanks. Glad I dont have to burn the resources leveling up the fodder. Gil is my biggest issue at the moment, too much enhancing. I was down to literally 26 gil a week or so back, I couldnt even start expeditions. TMR farming has helped pad the bank balance back up a bit, but if...

    I havent done a lot of research on the 7* stuff to be honest, my knowledge of it all comes from you guys that play the JP version. I wanted to ask since you'd know offhand easily, when fusing units to make a 7*, do both units need to be max level 6*s? Like, I have one Wilhelm max level and max...

    Fate Grand Order / FGO

    I downloaded it a while back, poked around for a minute and closed it out. Too much of what I've read points to the game being fairly egregious with it's gacha system and Ive already got one bad mobile habit (/point FFBE), cant afford two.

    Yeah the Amazon coins are definitely the way to go if you plan to spend money on this game. The price of the coins fluctuates daily, sometimes pretty drastically. I knew that I'd be spending money today on the game so Ive been watching coin prices all week trying to speculate at which day would...

    Got nothing of note from the tickets I had saved so I snagged some coins from Amazon and did 3 10+1s. First was nothing, second was Kid Rydia and CG Nichol. Decided to yolo another 10+1 and got CG Nichol x2 so I'm pretty happy right now, well, as happy as I can be for someone who spent 80 bucks...

    Alot of info about the anniversary over in this thread. One part of it I'm kinda dreading is the "summon ticket for every 5k lapis you've spent". I'm not sure I'm ready to face the reality of my spending habits :P

    Blah, I didnt buy that evade materia from the last Garuda event so I can't replicate that build exactly (i actually forgot to buy anything, I realized I had almost 200k raid tokens sitting in my inventory last week while doing a little cleaning). Any replacements for that?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    At lower levels you want to focus on only completing the challenge log. Granted that's still a decent bit of grinding, 180 easy to access mobs with another 80 dependent on time of day or weather conditions. For your log, only kill stuff lower level than you, you can kill stuff up to 2 levels...

    Square has already had their "conference" though, it was Sunday. I use quotes because it was just a pre-recorded video of trailers that lasted only a half hour with no mention of FF7 as well. I was pretty confident we'd see a little something during Sony's show, kinda surprised and apprehensive...

    That's kinda what Im thinking. Those sorts of games beg for a live reaction from a crowd and wouldnt have the same impact just being part of a pre-recorded video.

    Eurogamer picked apart the datadump during the trailer and confirmed full character creation will be available so, thankfully yes, that main character in the trailer is just a placeholder.

    So will this play like a full on shooter or will VATS still exist? Cant imagine how that would work in a co-op/pvp style game.

    I was really hoping to see something that made Anthem feel like more than a Destiny clone that's too late to the party. I didn't get that. BioWare will be euthanized by the next E3 probably.

    Did they up the rate at which you gain trust on units? I haven't actively trust farmed since last Octoberish, but up until then I had farmed 24/7 for a few months. It reliably took me 10 days or so to take a unit from 0 to 100%, that was the norm for the entire time I macro'd. With 7stars...

    Nada on rainbow synergy units here as well. I historically have done pretty well pulling those with minimal resources spent but today was a bust.
