Anniversary (July 27) and collab (Live A Live) anticipation thread.
Roadmap.
And here's Cygna the Incarnation of Evil, she'll be here praying for your good fortune.
Who here got Ogen? Enjoyed the hell out of his story.
Shall we take bets on who’s gonna be the featured character on the week of Emberflame 3?My money’s on it being the Nier Automata crew (2B, 9S & A2). Theirs is the only banner that hasn’t been rerun and I got a feeling that they wanna get all the crossovers out of the way before they give us Live a Live.Bravely Default was already released three times and Triangle Strategy had a sudden and unceremonious rerelease last month. So this month, it’s time for the androids to come out!Glory to Mankind!
>Have been inside three best girlsSazantos is so lucky...
>>1467824I did Yang Long's storyIt was fine overall but I have few problem>he was labeled as "assassin" somewhere, but he was more like a war monk>where the fuck are his crows? you would think they will play a part in his story since they are taking 50% of his portrait but no. They only show up in his battleBTW..... God help us in his EX3 fightWe gonna have to face these motherfuckers
Retard from last week here. I worked hard putting together the best possible team I could and I just beat BoA Chapter 8!!! My team was>Elrica/Rinyuu>Canary/Alaune EX>Richard/Bargello>Nephti/Primrose EXYeah, pretty meta but I pulled hard for all of those except Prim who I got as an offbanner chasing Bargello. Elrica is incredible, glad she lived up to the hype. Prim did almost nothing, she even died in the second (third?) last phase of the fight when one of the final 3 rings charmed Elrica and she nuked Prim. but it was fine without her, so more of a 7 man clear. Also used several Hell Valore NPCs to top off and extend debuffs here and there.Holy shit, I might as well uninstall now (I won't) because no way are they topping this. That was the best jrpg final boss fight I've done since Lavos back in the 90s. Incredible stuff, it's a shame so many people, including Octopath fans, will miss out on this because it's in a gacha game.Spoilers for BoA Ch8:Also, I gotta say, Sazantos' Utopia might be the best take on turning the world into a utopia while still being the "real world" and not Heaven that I've seen in fiction. I can't really side with the MCs on this one, destroying/rejecting it is ten thousand times worse than the ending of Gundam Seed Destiny. At least in that anime, the MCs' side was sympathetic because they were fighting for free will but Sazantos doesn't even remove free will to make things perfect. It's not even a perfect world per se, it's just straight up better than the existing one. I thought he was going to remove ALL desire from humanity but nope, he just moderates it so there's no excessive desire ie greed and seems to have rid everyone's hearts of evil as well. I can't forgive him for all the horrible stuff he did leading up before he tried to make Utopia, but once he got that power, he really would've saved the world harder than the MCs or any hero could've.
Was Vide's theme the best video game song of 2023? Are there any bangers in this?
>>1468993It's always gonna be a matter of taste, but I love all the music in this game. The Octopath orchestra does a terrific job.
>>1468343>he was labeled as "assassin" somewhere, but he was more like a war monkYeah, I was wondering why he was called "the eastern assassin" when he never did any assassination work. At least it sounds cool.Agreed about the crows. "No I don't know any crows, animals just like me some reason." but you NAMED them. Wu and Siu.
9 more days…only 9 more days until the next Tavern Talk.Then we get birds and figure out who’s next.
>>1468888>Destiny plan shillingYou guys need to stop taking people at their word
Is there a reason why everybody's doing Largo clears suddenly? Like in the last few days I've seen 7 already. I get people want to show off their new Ogens but only 3 of those 7 actually have Ogen?? The other 3 are dagger, the last one is a 4-star only clear.
>>1469352ditraina ditraina ditraina ditraina ditrainaalthough it's kinda dangerous for me now since ochette was one of the characters that launched with side solistia, right? hope there's enough of a gap between em
>>1469592Ochette most likely won’t be appearing until November (rough estimate).Ditraina’s a possibility. The problem is, if we get Ditraina now, who’s coming when Emberflame Story 4 comes out and n September?
>>1469595You’re probably wondering how I came up with November. Lemme give you a quick run through of how things will likely play out:>May - Emberflame Story 3>June - Live a Live Crossover >July - Bestower of All Epilogue (End of Side Orsterra)>August - Emberflame Story 4>September - Ringbearer Chosen 1 (Beginning of Side Solistia)>October - Emberflame Story 5>November - Ringbearer Chosen 2Hmm…actually after comparing the Roadmap, they reverse Emberflame 5 and Ringbearer Chosen 2. So it’s actually…Ringbearer Chosen 1 (Throne)Ringbearer Chosen 2 (Ochette)Emberflame 5Ringbearer Chosen 3 (Partitio)2nd Bravely Default CrossoverMilgardi (Montwise Coliseum release)Ringbearer Chosen 4 (Osvald)Nier: Replicant CrossoverRingbearer Chosen 5 (Hikari)Cross Story (two months)Yet ANOTHER CrossoverRingbearer Chosen 6 (Agnea)Yeah…we’re looking at about three months per chapter release.
>>1469601(After Ringbearer Chosen 3 that is…)
>>1468993Octopath games have a weird trend for me. Their final bosses first phases's themes are better than their second ones.The One They Call The Witch > Daughter of the Dark GodBestower of All > Chosen By The LightVide, the Wicked > Those Who Deny The Dawn.
>>1469474Funny, I just finished my Yan Long grind yesterday and was gonna start my Largo grind today. Just gotta find a clear that's not too much of a hassle, I don't have Ogen.
Speaking of Largo, has anyone ever used him for anything? In all the countless youtube clears of various pieces of content I've seen over the years, Largo is the only arena champion I've never used in anything, ever.
>>1470181Nope. Leveling him is a waste of resources.
>>1470181Believe it or not, I’ve seen Largo used in clears before. He’s got a move called Special Fragrant Dumpling which provokes all enemies and lowers their attack (15%). Stick some defensive buffs on Largo and you have yourself a decent tank at hand.
Fuck, I forgot about the long Square Enix Bridge maintenance today. Guess I'll play in another 5.25 hours from now.
You folks ready to get Krauser and Rondo tomorrow?As for me, I’ll be waiting to see what’s happening in Tavern Talk before I make any attempts on that banner.
>>1469601thanks for putting this togethersometimes i question how slow we get new characters but since I'm just playing casually at this point, the wait doesn't feel as bad
>>1470181His taunt+debuff move is quite valuable
>>1471557I missed on Krauser, I struggled in the elite tower because I don’t have oneI may try pulling him up
>>1472227My prayer is answered, got the dude on the first pullsI will definitely stop here and save up until the next big banner
>>1472325Congrats bro, that's awesome! I wish I could pull for Rondo, he's the missing MT I want the most, but I gotta keep saving. Only got 800 rubies and worst case scenario I'll need 10,500 for Odio-O plus Sazantos/Cygna.
We only have 3 more of the "elite" 4* characters left to go, right? and then I can finally stop watching these ads for games featuring giant fetish women?
>>1472676Bruh, all eleven of them have been released for months now.
Getting word that Chinese servers have 4-Stars as starters just like JP. Not only that, but for some reason, you can’t reroll! Remember, in EN you can only get a 5-Star as a starter.
>>1472325Well done! I got me a Krauser too. Took two 10-Pulls and now I can get him to A4.Indomitable Eyepatch here I come!
>>1472730oh... whoops... ha ha surely my 300 extra elite fragments will come in handy for my dumb ass someday ToT
>>1472734An interesting approach…There’s a version of the EX Sigrid Banner that uses traveler seals instead of rubies.
I kinda wanna roll for Rondo but its only because he's genkiI already have Elrica and Lars so he adds nothing.
>>1472562>>1472749I say you better not to, we’re about to get the other two Sword niggas. His 5 hits AOE sword/light fucks hard but we are all tight on rubies>>1472737What are his minimum priorities? A1 then U10 or the other way around?
>>1472968I would say minimum priorities would have to be A2, followed by U10. Krauser is the type of person you wanna have 4 skills for since two of them will only be used once.If you got Bargello, you can replenish his Ultimate, Recoup, in turn replenishes his Ultra Attacks.
>>1467824who plays this
>>1473685People with good taste in games.
>>1473685People who are at the end game of Another Eden
>>1473685nobodyjust like every other shit enix garbagesaga shit has stopped being from generous to one of the greediest games out there with infuriating powercreepthis game is greedy as shit with one of the worst gacha incomesfinal fantasy is a jokea lesson should be taken to avoid square enix mobile games like the plague
>>1473685I'm interested in it, it look like FFA and FFA2
>>1473685People who like jrpgs. People who prefer pixel to 3D graphics. Octopath Traveler fans. People who liked OT1 but wished it had better gameplay and/or story. Mobage fans who want a game world they can actually run around in and explore instead of just a series of menus with a hub and battle screens. Whales.
>>1473685Me
>>1473685Gambling addicts and people with an infinite amount of time because doing anything takes an eternity.
Two more days until Tavern Talk…
Hopefully they will release OST Vol 2 in the west soon
One more day until Tavern Talk…
>>1467824WOOOWOOWOOO….SLOW DOWN , WOMANBtw he is kinda a quirky asshole for being a divine beast>asks for the weakness>”Don’t tell him”
Release Phina before CeraphinaRelease Osasuna before Pardis
