Used to play FFBE but I found it too grindy. And for reference I had multiple 75s in FFXI before they put it on easy mode so I think that says something about how much grind it is.

Grischnak posted...Leanaunfurled posted...Thanks everyone! Looks like I'll try getting into that and FEH alongside Granblue and Bang Dream. That game gets dramatically harder as you go along. As you start out it's pretty easy. But the later chapters get pretty tough. I mean, it's up to you if you want to play it but it's an older game and it lacks of quality of life features newer games have. In terms of gatcha. The rate for 5 stars is 1%. Then when you get a 5 star it chooses one between all the available ones and then gives you one. So even if you pull a 5 star the one you're after will only have a boosted rate so you still might not get it. There is no pity timer or anything. Let me tell you my FGO ragequit story. I had a decent team of 2 good 5 stars and I just needed this particular 5 star to complete my ideal team. So I saved all the tickets and quartz I got for, what was it, like 6 months? The day came that the servant I needed to complete my team was released. I went for it. Used every ticket I had and every single quartz I had saved....nothing. So, in my desperation, I started to whale. I'm not going to say just how much money I spent whaling but lets just say it's very embarrassing. And you know what? Didn't get shit. And then I ragequit and never returned. It's a common FGO story. In hindsight, the smart way to play FGO is not to pick ideal teams or waifus and instead is to just work with whatever you happen to get. But for me, someone who likes to min-max and go after specific teams/characters, such a playstyle is too limiting to really be much fun. Things like Alchemist Code, FEH and Girls Frontline are just a lot more fair. But it's you're time. Do what you want with it. Just a warning. ... Copied to Clipboard!

couldn't you just borrow the third servant that you needed?
Also in general, it could be easy to just build up your support servants and rely on your whale friends who np5 and max skill someone the day they get released. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

And you certainly can play the whole game like that and make your team based more on the power of your friends then on your own strength. But I think that's more a design flaw in FGO then a good thing. I personally wanted my team to be standalone and my friends to just be support. Like in most games I've played. ...

Taking a unit to max star level sometimes requires getting two units grinded and then you have to regrind the new unit. Trust farming back in the day was the grindiest thing ever. And then when you finally grind that perfect unit to max there's a new better unit next month that you need to grind. --- You ain't gotta like me You just mad cuz I tell it how it is and you tell it how it might be ...

If I'm allowed to guess, you last played the game like one and a half year ago or more? because no one is grinding to level their units anymore because of the cactuars. trust farming indeed grindy, but only people with macro programs will actually grind them. normal players will just use the moogles raising rarity/star level that requires 2 units is a recent addition with the new cap at 7*. and that's only available to 16 units out of 300+ currently. heck if you hate leveling and raising rarity in ffbe (which is very easy except from 6* to 7*), I can't wait to see your reaction if you played SMT Dx2. --- You have the right to remain silent. anything you post will be misquoted, then be used against you. ...

Azur Lane is supposed to be open beta this Thursday and I've heard good things. Anyone able to offer some insight? I played the closed beta and the Japanese version a bit. The gameplay is certainly unique. It's a bullet hell RPG. Gatcha is pretty forgiving for F2P people. Stamina system is also pretty forgiving. Probably most like Girls Frontline if I had to make a direct comparison. ... Copied to Clipboard!

There isn't just like 1 giant gacha pool but a few pools separated by ship type. The easiest way to get Unicorn is to just spam building "Light(as in small)" ships. Unicorn is pretty easy to get.

I originally wasn't considering getting into Azur Lane due to how many mobile games I'm playing already, plus I'm not a big fan of the character designs I've seen. However, If it's anywhere close to as forgiving and easy to get into as GFL is, I might reconsider and give it a chance. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/IBDVd1q ...

I've been playing Dx2 (SMT) and am having tons of fun. Not really sure how it stacks up against other gatcha games aside from the really, really bad pull rates. But the upside to the low pull rates is that you can fuse almost any demon, so with patience you can more or less build the exact team you want.

Ricemills posted...creativerealms posted...I like that you can play Dx2 like a normal SMT game and not have to worry about the Gacha summoning aspects. It might take longer but just use demon fusion to get stronger demons like any SMT game. Most of the limit break quests are easy. MC's quests are easily the most difficult, so you need a good support demon. Shionyan and Meat Ballon's are fairly hard but not too much of a challenge. My team is also not that great and I was able to do them all, it has 2 good demons and 2 filler demons. In terms of walls, I'm starting to hit the limit point (specifically Aura Gate 35-50) where my demon team just isn't good enough though. --- let's positive thinking [you simply say it, because you like the way that it sounds] ...

On all of these, I see 1/2/3 stars filled and 3 unfilled... does this mean they can be ranked up (like in Fire Emblem Heroes) to an extent? Is rarity a fairly clear indicator of whether a girl is useful or not (like in Fate Grand Order) or are there plenty of good ones in the lower rarities (like in Girls Frontline) as well? --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/X5f550u ...

My experience to the game is pretty limited(CBT and like 4 hours of Japanese version) so I can't really comment on how useful particular ships are. As for ranking up, you use duplicate copies of ships to do it. It starts at 1 duplicate for a rank up but at higher ranks you need multiple copies to rank up. There are also substitution ships you can use so you don't have to always use duplicates. Spidey5 posted... Hey now, there are 2 and 3 stars that are way more useful than some 5 stars in FGO.

BTW if anyone is looking for a gacha game with great rates I can't advertise Knight's Chronicles enough. Had some of the best rates out there and fairly easy to get premium currency. Most times a new banner comes out with three featured units I'd get 2-3 of them within 10 multipulls.

We already have infantry (Girls Frontline) and naval (Kancolle and Azur Lane) combat covered, now we just need anime girl versions of fighter planes/pilots and we basically have the whole military represented. The closest we've had to this in anime is Strike Witches, and with all the side stories they've had in novels and other non-anime material, the World Witches series totally has enough characters for a great mobile game. Make it happen, Japan!
