Went better than expected. Thinking that A2 is probably better than U10 on Fiore, but not sure if I should go A3 or U10 on Olberic.

Managed to get EX Fiore(A3) off the free pulls. A good start.
Go for Nivelle’s banner and EX Sofia’s.
Get Olberic, Joshua, Therese and Leon (all Recycled). Then finally I get EX Sofia (A4).
Work on EX Fiore’s banner, have to go to the end of the round to get her (A4).
Halfway through the second round I FINALLY get Nivelle.
Considering just sparking the bastard.

If they give me one of the Caits this month, I’m using Memory Fragments to spark him. If it’s Bravely Default, I buy the Awakening Stones and get Adelle A4 and 2000 Awakening Fragments.

Not happy that they have us two featured banners in one week. But fuck it, I’m now finished with the Swimsuit girls.

>>1536273
I was thinking, is there a must have keeper from the paid ticket? currently or coming up in the future?

Is her A4 even worth it? Or is it sexy = must A4? which I respect

EX Sofia: Mermaid Wrap - Wind Damage up 15%. Patk, Pdef, Eatk & Edef up 5% for 3 turns. Good to boost Sofia to Marine Wisdom at the beginning of the battle.

EX Fiore: Sunny Sandals - Survive one Lethal attack. Lower Damage by 25% at full health. Good for surviving THAT ONE ATTACK.

Caits were on the roadmap, so it's safe to assume we'll get them before Solistia. The main question is will they be buffed like Nivelle? Rique needs this desperately. Either way, I plan on skipping everything (except Kilns maybe, depending on the banner) until Ochette comes out.

I played Octopath 1 and 2
I wasn't exactly blown away.

So is the real appeal here just a sort of rosterfagging? Complete a bunch of short stories and be happy that there is a slight intersection between one or two. Whooo~

Well so long as people are having fun that's what's important.

>>1537097
I did not play OT2 yet
What I loved about CotC is they provided some interesting events to OT1 - cotc's events took place shortly before OT1- that I feel they should've done so way back. Spoiler for OT1 late game ahead: The bullshit they asked you to do in OT1 to reach to "Gate of Finis" and fight the 13th fallen God. All the plot connections were just "Cuz Lybric did it loool.... also she got horny over this seemingly nobody kid until you learn who he was". OT1 made a big fuss over this Graham Crossford but nothing much came out of it until the very end. It all felt undercooked, yeah? Cotc expanded on that lore pretty good in my opinion
Now I understand that most OT fans won't get close to this game because it is a single player gacha with rosterfagging shit. Kinda wish that someone made a Youtube videos showcasing the stories because the Cotc story and soundtracks are pretty god damn good. However apparently SE is going crazy DMCA people over this shit.

Bros.. I returned recently and had zero gems, I managed to get Signa but I didn't get Sazantos. I also got spooked by Leon? Is he good? He seems sort of cool.

Currently I am working on Bestower of Fame, and I am about to fight Ceraphina, and I am almost at the same point in Bestower of Power, completed greed already. How much story is there beyond this point? And is there any easy sources of gems besides early Arena stages added recently? Also Is Nivelle good? Looks strong for some Thunder team shenanigans

>>1537423
you've got at least 10~15 hours of story left imo
the easiest source are the lv 100 npc battles, they're 200 rubies each. else chip away at your traveler story backlog

>>1537424
>the easiest source are the lv 100 npc battles
Jesus christ... Not sure if Easy is the word I'll use to describe them. Managed to Beat the Old story-teller but it was pretty close

>>1537423
Leon is one of the top 3 spear users, congratulations.
Having Signa will help you alot
Don’t pull for Nivelle, save your rubies for the possibility of the second BD collab to release in the next 3 months.
>Ringabell: insane DPS who doesn’t die
>Gloria: me stepping in, no one will die
>Mongolia: top tear spear dps
Yes they are lacking without the 6 stars and TP upgrades, but having them earlier is not a bad choice

>>1537837
I see. The Traveler I want the most would be Nephti by far! That's sort of why I was rolling on the banner to begin with and just to see if I got a lucky off-banner. I did get the last awakening for I was missing on Primrose though! So Now I have H'annit Sofia and Primrose maxed out. I have a few units at level 100 but most are between 70-80 right now so I struggle trying to nuke down the level 100 Npc's

Should I be farming Inferno gear? And what about the Fortune weapon? Are they worth getting? Not sure how the Soul system for equipment works

>>1538047
>Nephti
She is sex especially her A4 accessory, which kinda funny because back in JP she sucked... but SE decided to give her a massive buff that actually matched with the over powered travelers in OT2 area.
>Inferno gear
NO NONOOO, these shits are extremely useless for the new / returning players. just play normally and craft whatever you can.
There is a moment which I consider it my favorite where you will learn all your armors and armors are absolute garbage and you barley manage to survive it. That is where the "Soul Weapons" will start to power creep the Inferno/Berserker/Ogrin weapons and other shit, this is where you will notice you start kicking most of the arena champions right on the balls effortlessly - especially Tikilen-. However, you don't need to go full crazy farming them because you will find multiple types on the way, the "good" ones are from the Divine area which still far away from you.
>Fortune weapon
these will stay relevant for quite a while. basically you power up a specific stat while cutting off another. Most famous examples:
>Tikilen: you craft a sword for her ass boosting her Magic stat and cutting off her Physical, HP or Defense
>Yan Long: same as above but boost his Physical attacks
>Leon: craft spear with high Physical attack
>Fior EX: craft her a fan with massive SP
take them slowly and you will get a hang on it. Do not be a Japanese autistic trying to maximize RNG to fuck, I was content with 70% - 80% of what I am targeting and did just fine

>>1538055
Thanks bro! I guess I'll just Clear the story and then keep going until I unlock the good gear! For Arena I have unlocked most of the boss fights. But I have Only cleared Tikilen, I'll look over the bosses soon and see if there is anyone in particular I should clear. What about XP? Any good sources of Nuts? I keep wanting to level so many characters since they have the potential to shine on singular fights/Bosses and so on

>>1538082
I was like you worrying about the EXP and nuts and shit. Trust me by the time you get to the area when you start collecting Soul Weapons shit you will vomit EXP nuts. Complete the nameless town farm quest with that woman to start gathering the best nuts, in addition you will meet special caits which will reward you like 500K EXP each and higher when you get to the later areas. Make a team that has priority moves to hunt them as Molu and Tressa.

>>1538086
>Molu
I may be retarded as hell, But I like this autist so fucking much that i picked her using the Anniversary selector. I have Heathcote too, and he's supposedly super good for cait farming right? Anywho! Glad to hear that there is more nuts in later content, it's another good reason to get Cera and tatloch, Just about to fight Ceraphine now

>>1538088
Heathcote? No. He WAS good for Cait farming back in the day, but Canary’s clearly a better choice. She has a Priority 7-Hit attack which will definitely keep Caits from running away. Heathcote has a 1-Hit priority.

>>1538094
>Canary
> Priority 7-Hit attack
Sadly I don't have her. Is she an event character? Or standard? That does sound crazy as hell

Fuuuuck, I don't wanna fight the bird but I gotta, those limited time 100 rubies I can't pass up.

>>1538108
She’s Sacred Blaze. And all her moves have Shield Crack in them so you’re guaranteed to break the enemy.

You can pull her (or spark her) on Nivelle’s banner.

>>1538243
Don't think I can get enough pulls to spark her int time sadly. But she does sound extremely strong desu.

Besides that. I only need to defeat Tathloc now, and then I'll have done all of the Chapter 3 stories. Any tips for her fight? Ice is probably my strongest Element, I have a fully awakened Sophia, But besides looking up her weaknesses I don't really know what happens in that fight. Any standout Travelers I should bring If possible? I think I stopped around the time of the first Bravely Collab, and then I cam back for a little while to spend all my rubies on the Nier Collab(Got all of them luckily) But only one A2 dupe.

What the fuck bros.. I just completed the last mission I had for the level 60-Fortune board for the 3-Seals. And then I proceed to pull 3 fucking 5-stars in a row single pulling. It was nice knowing you guys! But I think it's over for me.

>>1538246
Spear, Ice and Thunder teams are highly recommended. Against Tatloch. Cyrus in particular was very useful for me.

During the first battle, Tatloch will be covered by Ma’faa so you’ll have quite a time dealing with him first. Also make sure you defeat the Elite Ships before you face Tatloch (they’re a pain in the ass since they respawn like Elite Enemies) or you’ll be dealing with extra enemies after you kill Ma’faa.

In her God Form she dishes out a field which drains both HP and SP. She also uses Charm. The best thing to do is to keep your characters switched out so they don’t attack each other.

>>1538571
Thanks bro!
>hey’re a pain in the ass since they respawn like Elite Enemies

Does that mean I'll have to clear them again between every attempt? Or is clearing them once enough?

>>1536273
>Dragon Board 10
>I don't have an accessory that cuts the Phy attack of all such as Harley's A4
>The Shiba who has this shit is level 8
>Got Signia, but I kinda need more because the fuckers keep killing my teammates
>the EXP fruits for the keepers are complete do shit
Will they release the equivalent of "Supreme Fruits" at some point? leveling up the keepers is such bullshit

>>1538573
You have to clear them like…every 20 hours. And they don’t go away until you defeat Tatloch.

Same situation as with Pardis and his three warriors.

Oh well! Tathloc Turned out to be way easier than I had anticipated. She didn't even have time to start charming my guys during her second Phase. Although I did have a very good line-up just for her. A4 Sophia A1 Cyrus A2 Cardona and Leon on top of Alfyn and Eleonora. Needless to say I had Spear/Ice covered

Now I just started Bestower of All. What am I in for?

>>1539542
Just got to add this. But fighting the Suffering/Seething souls has been the most miserable experience in this game so far. What the fuck where they thinking? This is taking forever fuck me

>>1539542
Soul Weapons. That’s gonna be the main gimmick of Bestower of All. Since you’re basically traversing through the land of the dead, you’ll be able to augment your weapons with souls.

However, this basically translates to randomized substats which are a pain in the ass. Some of which are character exclusive.

Hellfiends are pretty beefy as you learned from the Prologue but they take more damage from Hellweapons. So when you get to Bestower of All chapter 1, make sure you have a full set of equipment ready before you take on the boss of that chapter.

It's over...

Is there any tricks to farming Materials for Soul-Weapons? Or do I just farm the mobs outside of town. I did pay for the 2x Material pass. Are they an immediate upgrade or let's say upgraded Atlas gear as an example?

>goes to see what reruns are in JP twitter account
>suddenly, That Person's Name Is starts blasting my ears

I miss Bravely Default. I really need to play Bravely Default II, but I don't think it'll make me as happy as Default did on the 3DS since it was such a new game having the best combat system in an jRPG with a beautiful pixel art...

>>1540693
Let me guess. It's this theme right?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHdnI1OpsA0

Just picked up Nivelle in 60-pulls. Some anon mentioned earlier that I should save my gems for later, but I am sort of glad that I didn't. Fire is my Weakest element, but I manged to go Dorothea and Leon + the last awakening for Primrose in those pulls. So I guess I got pretty lucky. But Now I think it's time for saving for real! I have only defeated 3 of the level 100 Npc's and I have all the last Arena fights left besides Tiki. So I should have some gems in the Backlog I can work towards. I also haven't even done 10 Traveler quest yet. So I have all of those for an emergency I guess

>>1540692
Farm the regular enemies for bronze and silver souls. Farm the Elite enemies for gold and rainbow souls.

You can also get the gold and rainbow souls through the exchange. Certain townsfolk can give you souls via path actions. The Fame and Power are best for the ones that regenerate. Wealth is too expensive to repeat.

And you’re gonna wanna forge Soul Weapons for each character you’re using. Souls of War and Souls of Mastery are randomly dropped so the Exchange is your friend.

>>1540752
Thanks bro! I have almost crafted Three of Each weapon type so far. And upgraded a few of them to Blue quality. Luckily I have A4 Sophia and she can pretty much oneshot every pack I run into with her Aoe, so farming haven't been to bad. The new Caits are a godsend too!

Have they changed the Daily cait fights from watching Adds? Or is it still RNG bullshit where you have to reset a million times?

>>1540750
We’re expecting the Caits to come out in two weeks (at least one of them). We have:

Isla - Scholar (Fire/Thunder)
Kilns - Hunter (Thunder)
Rique - Merchant (wind)

They’re Travelers of Meowmory so those Memory Fragments you’ve been saving up can be used to grab one.

Having the swimsuit girls AND Nivelle screwed up my pulls. So I’m probably gonna have to dip into those Memory Fragments to get Isla if he comes out.

Someone suggested it might be the return of Bravely Default instead. If that’s the case I can simply buy the Awakening Stones, Get Adelle to A4 and recycle the other two.

>>1540763
Oh neat! But! I don't think I have any memory Fragments? Last time I actually played the game was during the first Anniversary. And for a few months during the Launch.

>>1540762
The Caits haven’t changed. If you have someone at level 70+ the rates are thus:

50% Coy Crafty Cait (50K)
45% Chubby Cait (100K)
5% Coy Chubby Cait (300k)

And you don’t need to bother resetting the ads. Three 30-second ads are bad enough.

>>1540765
Thing is Guidance Fragments are given to you each time you pull on a banner. But those fragments tend to be temporary; use them or lose them.

Memory Fragments are permanent…but you need 200 of them in order to spark any Traveler of Memory. And you have to pull on the paid banner. Union of Memories also counts.

Step 1 - 5 frags
Step 2 - 10 frags
Step 3 - 15 Frags
Step 4 - 20 Frags
Step 5 - Guaranteed 5-Star

That means you gotta pull on a paid banner at least 4 times in order to spark a character. But you should get plenty of other travelers by then.

>>1540769
Thanks bro! Looks like Nepthi is available from those Fragments. So I will certainly be throwing everything I have towards that banner!

>>1540771
Good luck. If you’re in the mood to spend, there’s a Union of Memories banner coming next week, featuring Bargello and Sonia.

As for the week after, wait and see for Tavern Talk to arrive.

>>1540693
BD2 is great, would highly recommend.

>upcoming talk will be about BoA Postscript part 1 and nothing about Side Solistia
Seems unlikely they would change the schedule so they can release both parts before September. If the eos was a fake alert, wake me up in two months.

Are hell weapons effective against holy enemies? Or I need to farm mats for the holy weapons?

>Are hell weapons effective against holy enemies?
Yep. Maxed out hell weapons deal +30% more damage in Hell AND Heaven. Maxed heaven weapons deal +40% more damage in Heaven, no damage bonus in Hell.
You'll wanna farm brilliant weapons eventually though, as they're the best in the game if you can hit high enough to surpass damage caps.

The clear I posted used the team from this vid as a reference. I messed up and didn't skip the last weakness set, which is why my victory was much messier than this guy's vid.
Remember, for the limited time 100 rubies mission, you only need to kill the bird, you don't need to just use 3 teams like me (I did that 'cause I never wanted to come back to this fight). Use 99 teams if you have to, you got this! And remember, you can use the weekly 1 time full restore to use your best team more than once per week. You'll also get one more reset before the 21st and another free weekly restore.
Good luck!

What is that even? I only just started farming a shitload of Soul-Weapons/armor a few days ago

Also can anyone tell me what is should be using Silver-shards on? I got everyone to awakening-3 and I have 264k

>>1543305
>Two accessories from the EX champions? Fuck that-.
Yeah, I had the same reaction and I'm not going for those accessories for the time being, so I just went for my highest phys atk up accessories 'cause that's all they do for him in that vid. Well, that and lower Odio's speed but I skipped his speed nodes so he was already slow enough.
Great job on getting the bird down to the red, good luck with that final push! It's a real bitch, best to skip the final set of weaknesses if you can 'cause he loses sword weakness (thank God for EOS piercing light and dark).

>>1543332
You exaggerate. Last month we had our epilogue and before that was a crossover event.

Don’t throw around term so frivolously. We’ve been getting story content, Emberflame and crossover stuff every month. The only month with no content is the one in September, which is next month.

>>1543477
Cosmic Weapons are from the Live a Live Hunt. You farm the materials via the hunts and then make the weapons. The first three stages of a Cosmic Weapon are forged in normal shops. But a stage IV Cosmic weapon is a Soul Weapon must be forged in a Hell Shop or in Agapea.

You should save your Silver Shards for Sacred Seals. Around January, we’re expecting Overclass to be a thing. Unfortunately that means you’ll need three of each Sacred Seal to Overclass any given traveler to 6-Star. To put things in perspective, it’s been 10 months since Japan introduced Overclass and there’s still 27 Travelers that don’t have Overclass yet.

>>1543485

July - Bestower of All Postscript (I)
June - Live a Live Crossover
May - Emberflame 3
April - Bestower of All 8
March - Emberflame 2
February - Bestower of All 7

There’s your last 6 months of content. Now go take your meds. Your ADHD is showing.

>>1543497
Overclass allows travelers to go beyond their appointed class. Once this becomes a thing a number of things will unlock.
1. All 3-Stars and 4-Stars will be able to Overclass to 5-Stars off the bat.
2. Gradually everyone will be able to Overclass into 6-Stars
3. 6-Stars cap at level 100 and max out at 120.
4. 6-Stars get around 400 or 500 Influence per character (I forget which)
5. 6-Stars get damage limit up. Around 20,000 or 30,000.
6. 6-Stars can equip three accessories instead of just 2.
7. 6-Stars get an EX Skill. These are special skills which unlock from a special condition (7 turns must pass, broken enemy must be present etc.) and have limited uses. Unlike Ultimates, EX Skills can be boosted.
8. The Incense Burner is introduced, which allows you to idly farm class-up seals and Wisdom Orbs.

Another fun thing to keep in mind. You’ll need 3 golden sacred seals and 500 blue sacred seals to Overclass a 5-Star to a 6-Star. There are also three types of blue seals, one for 3-Stars, one for 4-Stars, and of course one for 5-Stars.

>>1543497
It’s worth looking for into. Cosmic weapons have bonus damage for enemies in the living world. You thought many would still recommend Fortune Weapons.

One thing that Cosmic Weapons have over Fortune Weapons is that they have a Moon Soul slot. Fortune doesn’t, which means you’re more likely to ram the damage cap.

Just pulled Ogen. How is he? He seems pretty unique compared to most travelers. Tbh he seems like someone that is either completely insane or useless

>>1543600
Oh I also wanted to ask what's the best accessory I could get from the Sacred Blaze Signet? I have Nivelle/Leon

Did they start Solistia? Will start playing again once they do.

>>1543600
He's extremely good. He pretty much can't die so long as you remember to not use another regen healer, and his +1 BP regen for the front row is great. Combined with Alaune EX's BP chant, Sazantos can comfortably get 5 BP per turn the enemy's broken for spamming his OP skills.
If you don't have those other characters, that just makes Ogen even more valuable 'cause then he'll be your main source of BP regen, heals and he's a great ice damage dealer too.
>>1543616
Nope, and it's not even on the roadmap so come back in November.

>>1543600
Outside of ice dps his value swings heavily depending on if you have primrose/rinyuu or alaune/signa.

>they showed the latest EN statistics: only ~9% finished Tikilin cup

>>1543959
>like what the fuck are the 90% doing?
I wouldn't be surprised if most of those are abandoned accounts, another reason why it's dumb for them to build EN's schedule this way.

>>1543959
That's bullshit because the producer also said that 6* and TP was intentionally done to help people clear BOA8. People just refuse to see that no fucking game would ever strand Global at it's anniversary unless they already wrote it off.

>>1544040
*it's not it's

>>1543959
the game is just far beyond casuals
it's honestly much more difficult than anything in the mainlines, and particularly for a phone game most people aren't looking for such challenges all the time
when it's heavily story driven and you encounter fights that are rough for average players, it adds up and they eventually stop trying. happened to my sister when hell released, no surprise because mahrez came out swinging
wouldn't doubt that JP is more dedicated on average either, and if you look at the EN community most of those who do all the content just copy guides anyways

>>1536273
Does this game have energy?

>>1544136
Nope

>>1544133
Even meta only gets you so far here because you have to get more weapons and it's just fucking suffering on phone.

>>1544184
Reading the thread a guy said he used up his parry on a fight. Is there any things that stop you from playing the game?

>>1544210
Nothing at all. There is no barriers. You can farm and progress at your leisure with no concerns at all

>>1544210
Actually, some things have weekly attempt limit but that's about it.

Was Aelfric's VA already revealed? I could swear it's the same as Sazantos.

>>1544362
I've never looked it up, but I've always thought it was Toriumi Kousuke.

That actually blew my mind

>>1544832

Sazantos being motherfuckin' Kazuma from KonoSuba always blows mine. Jun Fukushima has range.

Speaking of VAs, Atsuka Tanaka died today. She's the voice of Herminia in Octopath, also Kaine in the next NieR collab, and many, MANY other roles (the Major from GiTS, Bayonetta, Ultimecia to name a few famous ones).
Big fucking F, it's raining today.

Sorry, I can't type today.

So what is the difference between the different types of Soul-weapons? Anything major? Or is it just what stats gets added as you upgrade them? I already farmed 5 of Each weapon and 16 sets of the balanced armor set from the first zone where these things get's introduced

>>1545451
Stats are actually the same. The difference is in A) The Slots and B) The Soul Bonuses.

Lucky - Bronze Human
Wonders - Bronze Human, Bronze Human
Refined- Bronze Human, Bronze Human, Bronze Human
Divine - Silver Human, Bronze Human, Bronze Human
Prophetic - Silver Human, Silver Human, Silver Human
Fortune - Raibbow Dice, Gold Dice, Gold Dice, Rainbow Star

Something to keep in mind:
Fortune and Cosmic deal 10% Damage to Living enemies
Hellweapons deal 30% Damage to Hellfiends and Hallowfoes
Hallowweapons deal 40% Damage to Hallowfoes.

Agreed, no casual player will want to try any EX3 fight ever. The hard fights in this game are too unfun for your average player.

>>1547852
They're too unfun even for most hardcore players.

>>1547852
As someone who who completed most content on day 1 until fairly recently, EX3 fights are just the most tedious shit. If you could skip all the previous fights and just do EX3 to get the rewards for all previous tiers, it would be more tolerable but the HP bloat is bad enough with EX1 and EX2 already. I did a handful of those and it completely killed my interest in doing any more. The elite tower sucks ass too, party management is so fucking clunky in this game that you spend more time in menus setting up your parties than you do actually playing the game.

>>1548499
>If you could skip all the previous fights and just do EX3 to get the rewards for all previous tiers, it would be more tolerable but the HP bloat is bad enough with EX1 and EX2 already.
Fucking this. It sucks that you have to do pretty much the same EX fight 3 times for the tiniest of rewards. I've done like six of them, I still haven't found the motivation to go back to the codex. They're also pretty prohibitive in that if you don't have whale A4 accessories to passively debuff the enemy on turn zero, you're getting one-shot before you can even act. Most of my EX3 wins involve resetting multiple times until the boss targets Canary on turn 1 so she can eat the oneshot hits and then my debuffers actually get a turn to bring the incoming damage down to survivable levels.

Thanks for the pic!

>>1548832
Your debuffers are too slow if the boss is getting the jump on them. Also serenoa's a4 can get the taunt up on the first turn so you don't even need to make your tank super fast if you don't want to. Whale a4s aren't needed to tackle the ex3 fights.

Very subtle, SE

Quick recap:
8/28 - Bestower of All Postscript (II)
Isla (Traveler of Memories)
Shop packs open. Isla Awakening Stone and Veteran Stone available.
Captain Na'gu + Fallen Mendoza Adversaries.

9/04 - Union of Memories: Nephti/Solon

9/11 - Rique (Traveler of Memories)
Two new birds

9/19 - Mystery Banner (probably Union of the Chosen)

9/25 - 2.14.1 Update (Probably Kilns)

>>1550784
>The Scholar & Trade caits with some changes in the kits
Rique the merchant cait is one of the worst, most dogshit six stars ever released, so I'm hoping those changes are a massive overhaul and buffs that are at least as good as TS or Nephti's.

>>1550827
At this rate we may get the second BD collab in October

>>1550742
Isla would probably feel stronger if it were easier to get to 50% passive attack up.

The Orsterra Saga has ended.

But no word on the Solistia Saga.

Not good.

>>1552636
When are you all going to understand that the roadmap was not a joke and it's the end?

>>1552526
Axes actually get quite meta in Solistia because of Castti, one of the most powerful and braindead easy-to-use characters. Nephti is dramatically better on global and if this new Rinyuu EX is good, axes have a pretty sweet future in this game.

Speaking of meta, assuming global gets to Solistia, it might be a good idea to think about which weapon type you guys wanna run. We're currently still in the sword/EOS meta but surprisingly, Warriors of the Continent doesn't stay the norm and is actually one of the weaker weapons with only Ringabel and Odio-O having six stars afaik (Hikari's not really a sword character) and Odio's was kinda mediocre compared to how much of a splash he made at 5 star.
I'd say the best comps will be dagger, spear, bow and axe.
If you wanna go dagger, save for Kaine (NieR collab #2) and Tiziano.
If you wanna go spear, save for Magnolia (BD collab #2) and Partitio. Hopefully you already have Roland.
If you wanna go bows, save for Kilns, Ochette and Hujheb (Sacred Blaze).
If you wanna go axes, save for Castti and Shana.

I think f2p will probably only be able to go for one of these comps 'cause it takes months to save up for one 4500 or 6000 ruby pity. I'm stuck going for daggers because I'm crazy about NieR, so I'll probably have to skip everything until that collab 'cause 10,500 rubies is a lot.

>>1552639
And what will you say when the next roadmap arrives?

>>1552639
Let them cope anon, if some Japanese guy with a gun to his head reading a soulless corporate statement blaming the playerbase is enough to convince them, they're not going to listen to reason.

>>1552770
The chances of a new road map that doesn't just say "thanks for playing" are very low.

>>1552376
Just realized. That’s an EX traveler, the background should be blue.

Can you doomniggers just shut the fuck up already? I don't give a shit about the roadmap or your eos speculation. I'm enjoying the game and will continue to do so until it's no longer available, regardless of whether that's next week or next year.

Nope, because you retards deserve what you got.

>>1553801
Then enjoy the game and stop whining because others are setting realistic expectations for the game's future. People are allowed to be bothered by Square fucking up yet another game they enjoy.

>>1553807
I would be less peeved if retards didn't persuade newbies to spend on the paid banners and they just didn't bother even informing them about the roadmap.

>>1553810
I was amazed with just how many retards were shitting themselves over the paid stepup mishap and encouraging others to spend money because it was 'good' value just weeks after the absolute turd of a roadmap they dropped on us.

>>1553811
I think they did the Bargello one on purpose too to trick people into thinking they listened and they already planned to kill the server after BOA was done. Either way you at least enjoyed the content until the end but being so delusional after seeing a fucking no content roadmap being dropped in the game's most profitable times makes you at least somewhat guilty if you got someone to spend.

>>1553737
I hope WotV is next.

WOTV might be dead whenever they finish the next part of the storyline, just because Gumi crashed that hard.

I was actually legit impressed at the buffs they gave him. They managed to make the worst six star in the game by far actually usable and useful.

Is it true that eos is imminent?

I wanted to start playing but everyone is telling eos is imminent, is that true?? And why? Is the game not popular or profitable enough?

>>1555596
There was a live stream hyping up the anniversary where they unveiled a roadmap consisting of a whole lot of nothing and stretching out tiny scraps of content over the course of months when the playerbase was fully expecting them to be saving a substantial long-waited update providing new content and a many qol fixes and features. To add insult to injury, another server that launched after the GL server had already received said update and surpassed GL in the patch cycle. That absolute turd of a live stream is the last thing you'd expect from an anniversary which is why everyone who isn't coping out of their minds expects an eos announcement sooner rather than later. The developer response did little to assuage those worries because it was just a brief video of the producer reading out a corporate statement that basically amounted to shifting all the blame on the player base for not doing enough content.

>>1555604
Will GL close or JP too?

>>1555596
I see that you tried posting this at Reddit.
It's true, and let me break down why:
>Companies have to make their financial reports and decisions to kill servers well in advance, the game is 100% dead because a living game would have had SS on its roadmap after the epilogue. The DFFOO CMs mentioned that they knew the game was dead months before EOS was even announced
>6* and TP was introduced to help players beat BOA8 and SS itself is a soft reboot of sorts, so the producer is clearly lying when he said it wasn't released due to the lack of players
>Staff costs can get very expensive in spite of stagnant revenue. You don't just have translation costs, there's also QC, customer service, technical staff...the most important part though is that companies tend to budget until the end of a product cycle and that would mean until the end of SS if they continued on in Global in spite of Global making 200k even in August
>SS's teaser was completely scrubbed

>>1555619
It's unknown how long JP will go on but their producer said it'll continue past Sail, Global is just being trashed because it brings no money worth the effort for SQEX.

>>1555596
EOS is inevitable. But it’s not happening anytime soon. Octopath is making the same amount of money as it was last year.

They made some VERY stupid decisions about slowing down the content based on our last roadmap. Including a dead month in September which has a Tavern Talk so there might be SOMETHING for us after all.

JP has also gone back in swing. Making its main story appear every other month instead of every three months and putting in a new traveler every two weeks instead of every month.

People doom post about EOS every now and then but with the latest roadmap out, the doom posting has grown stronger. We’re gonna have to wait until October for a new roadmap to be released and get Side Solistia.

>>1555659
You do realize that JP living has nothing to do with Global living and it's retarded to say this when FFBE Global just died recently, right?
>We’re gonna have to wait until October for a new roadmap to be released and get Side Solistia.
Lol.

>>1555660
>Final Fantasy Brave Exvius died
Oh no!

Anyways, we’re in a rough patch. Sad but true. But once we get out of it, we’re getting Side Solistia in full swing.

Plus there’s still new characters they can release before we hit the next roadmap.

I’m not worried. You needn’t be worried either.

>>1555689
How much money did you spend on the anniversary to be huffing this much copium?
>G-guys, they didn't announce Side Solistia when newbies would have wanted to join the game! There's nothing to be concerned about!

>>1555596
What happened:
>the latest roadmap had fuck all, some predicted that they will release the new non-Solisita banners (which the JP had them recently) which it did happen. But that was it
>best case scenario: the new contents - which is basically the OT2 stuff - to be released in December or January
>this will harm the game
>some went "IT IS JOVER" mode because they will shut it down
>SE showed up the next stream acknowledging the concern "We will talk with the team about it"
>the reasoning for the slowdown was 90% of the EN player are still jerking off in the first bloody chapter
>released statistic pages of the players progress, which was embarrassingly low - easy shit only 10% completed it-
>on the other hand, they should push content for those active players. Not to mention Taiwan is now way ahead of us

>>1555829
This is where knowing how gachas work comes in handy, a game doesn't usually EOS out of nowhere because that would be an immediate loss but that also means there's no such thing as 'talking to the team about it' because this roadmap was planned out well in advance. How many times does it need to be repeated that Netease obviously bought the rights to publish everything including Side Solistia and Global is EOSing because it has no worth for SQEX when they can just coast on Netease money and fully focus on JP?

>>1555620
>SS's teaser was completely scrubbed
I haven't played the final part of the BOA epilogue that came out this week yet, but is there supposed to be a part at the end that teases Solistia? No spoilers please, just yes or no.

>>1555943
Yes.

>>1555970
Holy fuck. Yeah, that being removed from global confirms it. Damn.

This drama is sickening as fuck. They should just tell us they are planning to unplug the servers in the upcoming instead keeping a veil of mystery around it. Everyone already assumed the worst because they never were subtle about that, so why even bother at this point?

>>1555972
Because pulling the plug honestly would have meant less sales for the remaining characters and people are deluded enough to believe that any gacha would release such a roadmap before the anniversary only to release Side Solistia all of a sudden.

>>1555972
This is standard procedure for SE and many other gachas too. They're going to stay silent as long as they can to squeeze out the last drops of cash. For example, they managed to salvage their anniversary profits with that mistake they made on the paid banner, creating the best deal to spend on in the history of the game as compensation which got quite a few people spending. If there was an explicit EoS notice looming overhead, they wouldn't have made nearly as much off of that little snafu.
It certainly doesn't help that with the big content drought we're now in, there's nothing for the playerbase to really discuss other than this will they/won't they EoS drama. You'd have to look to other servers to find new ingame things to talk about, and that inevitably brings the discussion back to global's shitty state.

>>1555983
I'm willing to bet neither that nor the Bargello banner was a mistake, and it was a calculated move on their part to get Global players to think it was a bargain when they never had the intention of releasing Side Solistia.

>>1555985
You could argue for the 2nd Anniversary. But the Bargello banner was definitely unintentional.

People literally flipped their shit because the banners were separate when they were expecting a combined banner (50% Sonia/50% Bargello). Which is odd because most of the time people HATE combined banners. Especially if there’s three of characters in them like A2, 2B and 9S.

But when they did it again with Nephti and Solon or Elrica and EX Alaune, there were crickets. In fact for these Memory Banners the 50% Chance of getting the chosen character is the new normal. Only with Bargello/Sonia was it good for them to have a combined banner.

>>1556620
I thought so at first, but the speed at which the devs switched the banners and even reworked the mechanic is incredibly suspicious once you consider that the EOS decision comes months before the actual announcement. I didn't become suspicious about it until I saw the roadmap, this just clicked to me much later but 'devs being suspiciously generous' is one of the common EOS signs; it's either that or they were trying to gauge how Global would react to Side Solistia's worse paid banners and the results were dismal either way.

Thinking back on BoA's plot, I have a question. Spoilers for BoA, obviously.
What was the reason for everything Sazantos did before the end of Ch6 and ascending with Orsa's power to Heaven? In other words, why did he wait all the way 'til Ch6 to make his move and not simply go to Hell, wake up Mommy's corpse and become God in Ch1 after icing Finis? Did his Hell army killing people in Orsterra feed him energy to wake her up or something? I don't understand/remember his motives for doing generic bad guy stuff like sending armies of the damned and resurrected heroes and villains up to the mortal realm to wage war, 'cause chaos, and have a laff when the only thing he wanted to do was become the new supreme God and create a new world, which didn't seem to require Orsterra for anything at all.

All his detour would make sense if he was looking to harvest Londo's blue flame since the beginning, so he probably played the role of le evil lord waiting for him in his throne while sending undead enemies to empower Londo's resolve of stopping him, along his blue flames.

>>1563409
Yeah, it's not surprising because the game's struggling even in JP and the producer had to get rid of the biggest deadweight.

Are you supposed to be ded, Finisu?

Is this game open ended?

>TW already at SS
>60 fps
>BD collab 2

Just shot down global at this point.

>>1566494
Next livestream is almost certainly the last.

>>1566632
You’re gonna sound so stupid after they announce the next Tavern Talk two weeks later, along with the roadmap that’ll follow.

>>1566855
How fucking delusional can someone get?

>>1566494
Even SEA has 60 fps. It's also in English, so there's really no reason to play Global. Just abandon the server, even SQEX did.

Sucks to know the SEA version will get Solistia before global at this point. Shame we can't switch savedatas between versions.
>>1566855
Care to share some of that copium? I'm out of it.

>>1566883
That’s nice Chang. Still playing Global.

>>1566894
First off. I don’t give a flying FUCK what Chinese, Taiwan and South East Asia have. 60 FPS and Original game camera angles are nice. But not even Japan has that. Whether or not we get it is just a matter of time.

They’re still giving us contests. They’re still doing Tavern Talk. And they even offered a free trial for the passes to get more people on board for that.

Furthermore TW and CH have actually LOST money this month despite getting closer to JP than we are. I mean. Sure the Asian servers are moving at a faster rate and will eventually catch up to JP. But when you get used to all that content at once, what happens when you catch up to the main server and you have to experience JP’s slow down? Our server has at least been consistent for the most part with JP’s rate of a new major update a month.

Also when you get a chance, check the roadmap. Emberflame 4 is coming out in October. But it’s early October, meaning they’ll be discussing it over this month’s Tavern Talk. Meaning that Emberflame 4 is actually the “September” update. What is the October update then? We’ll find out soon.

Plus, given that they can only release new characters with Orsterran Influences, they don’t have a lot of options left to stall this thing.

>Memory Travelers: Kilns, Shana, Tiziano, EX Rinyuu
>Bravely Default (II): Ringabel, Gloria, Magnolia
>Nier: Replicant: Nier, Kaine, Emil
>Final Fantasy IV: Cecil, EX Ophilia, EX Sazantos, EX Agnea

That’s 4 memory travelers (one coming out soon and one JUST released in JP 2 weeks ago) and three sets of crossovers. They’re not gonna be able to stall Side Solistia for more than a month.

We’re getting close. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Two more weeks and they’ll give us Kilns and Emberflame 4 and then announce their next Tavern Talk.

This is some weapons grade copium, I would respect it if it wasn't so sad. The only way they can top this year's anniversary is by announcing eos for our next anniversary (assuming the game isn't dead already by then).

>>1567803
Yeah, it's easier to let go if you just accept it.

>>1567803
Pretty much stopped playing until they announce a new roadmap. I already got burned by FFOO, not gonna let it happen again.

>>1567967
You don’t have too much longer to wait then. Expect a roadmap at the end of the next month.

>He's still going on about a roadmap when the CMs are literally ignoring every comment about SS and the SS teaser was removed

>>1568166
You'll see, the last roadmap was just a funny prank they played on us silly gaijin. Absolutely curb stomping the playerbase's enthusiasm right before the anniversary is actually a brilliant business tactic.

>>1568303
Us stupid gaijin could never understand the brilliance of glorious Nippon 4D chess.

Since the little message at the anniversary was specifically to ease fears of EOS, if they do announce it right after they should get sued for all revenue made since the anniversary for not operating under good faith.

>>1568397
Can people charge back then? I remember Aniplex being so classy with Magia Record's EOS that they didn't even discontinue paid gems right away.

Your fault.

How do I get past the chapter 3 Bestower bosses?

>>1574884
Hit their weaknesses. Set up your buffs and debuffs. Try to get them to like…1-ish Shield Points before break. Then on the turn you break them and the turn afterwards, hit them HARD with your strongest attacks.

You have a better advantage now since you can now equip Keepers and Fortune Weapons. Just make sure your team is fully leveled up.

>>1574884
Game is EOS in november, so I would just stop now rather than continuing with the story.

Was there a tavern talk today? Any news?

>>1575846
No TT in future, no roadmap.

>>1575846
EoS soon before NY

>>1575846
EOS was never mentioned, but they did say there would be no Tavern Talk in October, and there was no new content announced for November. So people are assuming EOS.

>>1575846
9/25 - Levina and Tatloch. Separate Banners. Same Spark.
10/02 - Kilns. Also Emberflame 4, featuring rabbits.
10/09 - Bravely Default Crossover (Adelle, Edea, Agnes) with Shop Pack.
10/16 - Union of Memories: Elrica/EX Alaune
10/23 - ??????
10/30 - 2nd Bravely Default Crossover (Ringabel, Gloria, Magnolia)

No Roadmap. Probably gonna get announced at the end of the month.

>>1575846
EOS was confirmed already, so the only new info we gained was that square are literal scam artists trying to snake money from unsuspecting people.

I'd love to see what the copers' next excuse is going to be. It's a shame to see the game go, but it has been getting a little stale for a while now and it still stings less than RK and Mobius. This is the last time I'll get invested in a SE gacha though, they've had some good games but damn do they suck at managing them.

The copers will just spit at you or ban you if they can, someone who spoke against SQEX in the livestream got permanently banned.

>>1575892
>EOS was confirmed already
Where/when was it confirmed? I'm not coping, I'm just under the impression that SE is avoiding all mention of it so that they can (most likely) shut it down abruptly.

>>1576284
You're correct that they're too cowardly to even announce it, but they half-assed an excuse to not have a TT for October where they'd have to have a new roadmap and DFFOO's livestream was 'delayed' because of a similarly half-assed reason, and that reason was to announce EOS through an in-game notice.

Glad I finished the main story at least. Shame this was a Square Enix gacha.

>>1576284
It isn’t. People are just saying it is because there’s no Side Solistia yet.

>>1575874
>10/30
For real? Shit, I want Gloria and Magnolia, but I only have a quarter of the rubies needed to pity them (3k out of 12k).

>>1576422
You never know. You might get lucky and get them before you need to pull off a Spark.

>>1576422
You’re in luck (sorta). The 2nd Bravely Default Crossover is a Two-Parter just like the Oct-A-Live event. The first part has Ringabel and Gloria. The second part brings in Magnolia.

However this means that the event is gonna be stretched out for a full month. We’re probably gonna have to wait until Thanksgiving before we get Side Solistia.

>>1576446
Man, I dunno. I have to go all the way to pity far, far more often than not.
>>1576489
Yeah, I know how they split 'em up. Risky business but at least it lasts a while like you said.

I missed some of the dialogue while doing a traveler story for one of the exchange 4 stars and wanted to go back and read it. Luckily, this game has a section of the codex dedicated to doing exactly that, so I went over to it to read the part I missed. Guess what? It's completely fucking useless! It only has the original characters that were in at launch, and hasn't been updated to include anyone that came in after. I could get it not having the memory travelers (they have their own section elsewhere) or not having the collab characters since those never stick around, but why the fuck aren't the exchange 4 stars in it? Or what about the new gen pool 5 stars or sacred blaze characters? Why bother even having a section to reread character stories if you're not going to add the character stories to it?

>>1576514
Because that shit gets updated SLOWLY and it’s not a priority.

>>1576514
Yeah, it's horribly managed. Every other game I know that has ever had character stories lets you reread them as much as you want immediately after the first time you read them. Unless it's a memoir, you're shit outta luck. Try youtube and pray it's on there, some are, some aren't. There are also fansubbed stories from JP before global existed on youtube, good luck.

Not as retarded as you apparently. You have it in your head that the game is ending. And yet….you’re still here.

You’re welcome to jump ship anytime. But you’re gonna miss out on a LOT of daily rubies when Side Solistia DOES finally arrive.

>>1576489
Side solistia is never coming. Not this thanksgiving not next thanksgiving. It's over and they are just trying to scam people on the way out by pretending it's not.

Haven't you migrated to the SEA version yet?

>>1576772
I migrated to Sword of convallaria instead.

>>1576772
Not falling for that line, Chang.

>>1576772
Did Netease put you up to this? Is SEA suffering that badly that you need us to pick up your slack?

>>1576789
>>1576794
???
The odds of SEA releasing SS are higher than global not getting eos before december.

>>1576772
I don't plan on touching square anything gacha or not from now on. I sure as hell wouldn't just migrate so they can still get money after being such scumbags.

Hopefully, when this game reaches end of service, they rerelease an offline-only version with rebalanced difficulty, so a shitter like me can finally clear the main story.
I only eve beat the two single player OTs through cheesing them with items and broken skill combos, anyway.

>>1576794
Netease actually has a content creator program for CoTC.
But that just means SEA shillers are actually PAID instead of globalniggers who do it for free.

>>1576861
There is basically zero chance of that happening. Even if it did, we'd have to wait for JP to EoS first and I doubt Square would be willing to put in the tiny bit of extra effort that translating all JP content to English would entail.

Whatever happens to COTC, whither EoS or actually getting SS, I will never touch any other gacha game ever again
As I said in the last thread, the only reason why I picked this game up was because I liked OT - OT2 wasn’t announced yet- and I was interested in the story all things considered as well as the kick ass OST.
Top it all that off, my wedding is literally mid November so I didn’t go full spastic mode when that dreaded roadmap released.
If they released SS anyway, this would be wonderful and I can jump in next March or so.
If they pulled the plug, it would be extremely sad yet funny in a poetic way… and sure as hell I wouldn’t be able to touch any other gacha ever again.

JP got Ori.

The cute Newsie Girl from Partitio’s story.

>>1576797
You do realize that
1) Global and SEA are run by different companies.
2) SEA is using the same English Translation as Global

If Global EOS’s, SEA will follow shortly afterwords due to lack of a good English source.

Also, SEA is at Bestower of All 4. You do the math.

>>1577021
True, SEA is the only region that's lower on the pecking order than Global.

>>1576769
You do realize that if they are planning to fleece us, the best time to do it is on the week of Thanksgiving, which is also the week of Black Friday. They’ll pull out all the stops and the best deals during that time.

No way in hell they’re gonna EOS so close to Black Friday.

>>1577139
Are you retarded, they ARE already fleecing the fuck out of anyone still buying paid rubies.

Wrong again. There’s three Travelers of Memories, and another three crossovers they have at their disposal.

Including the one that’s coming up in the end of next month.

They even have an extra Champion of Memories they can release if they so choose.

>>1576902
"Anon" means "soon".
>>1576951
Cute!

On an unrelated note, are there any gacha games out there besides this one and Another Eden that are more like console rpgs than mobile games?
By that I mean, instead of simply navigating series of menus (lobby>stage select>battle screen>stage select), it's an actual world with towns and dungeons and overworld places that blend into each other naturally and yet isn't a 3D game like genshin/wuwa/starrail. Also, all the content is permanent instead of limited time events. When global shuts down I'll likely finally try AE (never had the time for it), but I was wondering if there was anything else out there in this same vein.

>>1577296
people have been talking up Sword of Convallaria, that's probably what I'll be checking out next still need to work up the energy to beat final boss Sazantos before EOS, though

Rique says “Hi!” By the way.

>>1577471
Shoot, I'm already playing that lol. New story just came out, it's good stuff.

>>1577159
They want to scam people, but they don't want big amounts all at once right before EOS because people will charge back and cost them money instead. Black friday existing means literally nothing. You are a disgusting shill trying to trick people go fuck yourself.

>>1577687
>EOS-ing right AFTER they get a shitload of money off of people instead of right BEFORE they get a shitload of money off of people. Classic business move!

Now you’re just grasping at straws here. Admit it. You really just wanna see this game EOS just because. It’s not enough for you to be miserable. You want US to be miserable like you too.

Hate to disappoint you, but I’m riding this game all the way to the end. You wanna play a different game, by all means leave and do so. You wanna quit? Good. Go ahead and quit. But know that you’re doing so by yourself.

But hey. You’re welcome to play again once Side Solistia does finally arrive. Whenever that time will be.

>>1577765
They did a banner type that they never did before that's too generous for words and brought over buffed caits. That is the scam, they can't go on until Black Friday because they literally did not fucking bother translating BD2 content.

>>1577687
Man, so many people are going to neck themselves when EOS is announced and I don't feel sorry for most of them because they're POSes.

Goddamn, this is getting positively entertaining at this point.

>>1577772
Isn’t one of the early warnings for an EOS when they STOP giving you stuff?

>>1577782
Yeah, people are going to be eating so much shit because they didn't get the message when they already got treated like shit the last few times.

>>1577787
You mean content? Yeah, and because new expansions have to be approved and implemented ahead of time those of us who aren't fucking retards knew the game was done.

>>1577787
My guy, we are way past early warnings. Content has been coming out at an absolutely glacial pace even before they cucked us out of Solistia entirely. Releasing a couple of units who have likely been finished for months already doesn't equate to content. Just coping and accept that Square blundered yet another gacha.

>>1577871
Honestly, I think they never cared that much about Global because even Mihoyo games perform less in Global when it isn't years behind.

>>1577922
It's obvious GL has always been an afterthought for Square Enix gachas. The way they tried to repeatedly royally fuck over GL Mobius was astounding. The problem with Square is that they're horribly out of touch, too greedy for their own good and utterly incapable of learning from their mistakes.

>>1578114
That might be our perspective, but if SQEX only wanted to cash grab from the start it makes more sense to launch Global and shut it down at the end of its most likely profit.

>>1577765
Nobody loses anything by quitting now. The only people that stand to lose are the ones that get tricked into thinking this sinking ship still has a future. You are the only one that wants people to be miserable here.

>>1578175
The amount of lashing out at people who quit is crazy, we're going to be seeing a meltdown of epic proportions when people who spent on this banner realize they got scammed.

Problem is, Square seems to want to keep it that way.
