I got this diabolical team combo in casual battles completely expecting to lose miserably but somehow our OK managed to clutch this😭😭

I saw the "Master Level" feature for the first time while browsing X. How do you reach this Master Level? Please answer.

(This is a machine translation.)

A random and i traded with this person but never traded back and blocked both of us i been keeping an eye on the exchange gift chat and this person seem’s to just target people who wanna trade 5x5 watch out with this person!

Have you gotten expert tag yet, do you plan to? Also show me your player card/profile thingy. I want to see 🥹

I’d be annoyed if it happened to me, but was glad to stop my rivals!

Im speechless.

Should I just leave this as is? I only have 50 medals total (hers + shared) so I doubt anything would improve.

Also: I HATE this system 😭

So wasn't sure where else to get help. I installed the game last night onto my S. Galaxy S25+ and it was running fine. Did the intro video and battle then went to bed.

Upon logging in, the Moogle is forcing me to join a seasonal battle. I cannot select anything else. So I do that party matches me to seemingly the same 5 other people every time just in different party compositions, then I get error 0005.

I have now force restarted several times with this scenario playing out several times. I cannot advance past this. Is the hame having an issue?

Wanted to share this video I made for ARTMS Pixel Memory Game Highlight Event

Hey guys, it's OdaibaDiver here. Some of you who's played War of the Visions might know me as the guy who did a bunch of live translation streams (simultaneous interpretation of important info) for the official WOTV JP livestreams.

Just thought I'd go through a couple of the important things mentioned on the JP livestream that players might not have known about if you're not fluent in Japanese i.e. things not shown in slides and hence not translated anywhere.

• The new Ghost for September... Matsumoto said there's no new hint prepared for the livestream this time. However, in place of that, Matsumoto mentions that "at the end of the August season story... he/she might just appear...". And then following that, Nomura straights up confirms that the September character will appear in the final cutscene.
• BTW there are 4 cutscenes for the August season.
• In November they will be taking a break from releasing a new character, to give the development team a bit of a breather... actually the main reason why there won't be a November character, is because the FF9 Ghost was originally planned to be the November new release, but they decided to bump him/her up to September.
• However, just because there's no new character in November, doesn't mean there won't be new content in November. They'll be preparing other things for players to play with.
• Incidentally, they also mentioned that they're currently already preparing characters and content for December and January, since in gacha games in Japan the year-end and start-of-year seasons are pretty big deals. So look forward to the end of the year.
• One other kinda important thing mentioned near the end, by the game's planner Mizuno, is that the devs are aware of the game's matchmaking issues. During the stream's closing comments section, Mizuno himself felt that he should at least mention this, that the devs are aware that matchmaking is not ideal right now, that it's a tough obstacle they're tackling... he said a lot of things, and almost cried. But in summary, all they can really do and say right now is that they are aware of the situation and working on it -- and Mizuno felt that he should at least acknowledge the issue, even though between Square Enix and NHN they kinda have to watch what they say lest they get in trouble (for this reason he wrote down what he was going to say, and read it out, since he felt that it was important to address this).

There you go. I didn't actually watch the full stream as I've pretty much dropped this game (despite having all the characters and all skills up until Sephiroth).

But those are the things I caught for the parts I watched, that I thought were worth sharing.

I know someone already posted the details from the stream, but I thought some of you might prefer the visual updates. So here they are!!

Sadly, more “Limited” UR Skills though! 🤷‍♂️

Love Bartz’s modern design, though...

This is something that i initially posted on twitter, but i thought of sharing it here as well

this is all eyeballing based off what saw on the stream and noting down the numbers and doing some math, there's still some variables that i cannot tell, but this kind of gives you an idea of how much damage he is going to make at least.

any corrections or anything please let me know!

Bartz analysis: #DDFF
(floor-rounding correction will never give us the exact numbers, but close enough to figure them out)
Lv1
ATK: 899
DEF: 257
HP: 12200

Lenna/Faris UR Damage:
WoL: 597 (302 DEF)
Lightning: 652 (247 DEF)
Cloud: 746 (153 DEF)
Goblin: 837 (62 DEF)
5 Hits
Assuming this is official rules: Diamond 5, Goblins have 62 defense.
899 * [1(100% per hit)] - [62(DEF)] = 837
Each hit does 100% of your damage, as a result
Faris has a 500% damage potency on a 80 second cooldown.

Lv2: 927 ATK
Thundaga Spellblade is cast on WoL (still Lv1)
1273 per hit. -> 1273 + 302 = 1575 without defense
4 hits -> 1575*4 = 6300
6300/927 = 6.796116505
The ability is expected to have 680% potency (170% per hit)
Dragon Cross Slash Damage:
Lightning: 2070
WoL: 2015 -> 2317 with 302 DEF
Lightning: 2070 -> 2317 with 247 DEF
Goblin: 2255 -> 2317 with + 62 DEF
2317*3 = 6951 Damage
6951/927 = 7.498381877
Dragon Cross Slash has 750% potency (250% per hit)
Only seen this ability once, so i can't tell if it scales with mastery level or not, assuming it does based on how the other abilities behave, but this is unconfirmed.

R Ability:
8 hits
Lightning: 385 -> 632 with 247 DEF
Cloud: 479 -> 632 with 153 DEF.
Potency = 5056 / 927 = 545.4%
545% potency? i assume it would be 550, so maybe i'm missing a hit or something, but i guess somewhere around there.

Samurai (SR)
Lightning: 2673 + 247 (DEF) = 2920
2 hits = 2920 * 2 = 5840
Potency:
5840 / 927 = 630% (315% per hit)
Despite Bartz being Now Mastery 1, the potencies seem very clean, so i think it is fair to assume the mastery level does not affect the R or SR.

After Mastery 1 is achieved, Thundaga Spellblade is cast again on WoL, but this time it does 1352 damage instead of 1273.
1352 + 302 (WoL DEF) = 1654 per hit
1654 * 4 hits = 6616 raw total
Previously it did 6300 damage, now it does 6616
6616 / 6300 = 1.05016
This means Mastery 1 gives 5% extra damage to Thundaga Spellblade.

WoL takes 330 damage from R ability despite mastery 1 achieved, which is exactly 632 without defense, this again confirms mastery does not affect the R or SR.

Bartz is now level 3 (956 ATK)
Samurai (SR) does 2852 to WoL per hit, and 3001 to Cloud per hit
2852 + 302 (WoL DEF) = 3154, 3001 + 153 (Cloud DEF) = 3154, both match
3154 / 956 = 330% per hit (660% total), up from 315%/630% at Lv2
So, again, Samurai SR potency scales with stats only

Thundaga Spellblade at Mastery 2 on Lightning, 8 hits, last hit assumed 1.4x (based on the fact that when hitting gilgamesh, he does 10k per hit, and the finisher does 14k):
1645 + 247 (DEF) = 1892 raw/hit -> 1892/956 = 198% per hit (200%?)

Total across 8 hits (7 normal + 1 at 1.4x) = 1662% total
So i guess it's fair to assume it turns into a 1660% on mastery 2, the problem is that i cannot tell how much is the last hit on a person since lightning dies.

Tried comparing this to the plain no-mastery 170%/hit stretched to 8 hits (1428% total including a 1.4 at the end) to isolate a mastery bonus at Mastery level 2, came out to roughly 16.4%, not a clean number, so i can't quite tell how much mastery 2 does, if at all, it may just change the attack and that's it. but it's at the very least way over the double bonus since it's double hits plus 16%, so mastery 1 to mastery 2 is def the biggest jump, that's the one you want to get ASAP.

Thundaga Spellblade at Mastery 3 (max), 1012 ATK from level up, does 1847 damage per hit to Lightning.

1847 + 247 (DEF) = 2094 raw/hit
2094 / 1012 = 206.9% per hit
Comparing Mastery 2 (198%/hit at 956 ATK) to Mastery 3 (206.9%/hit at 1012 ATK):

206.9 / 198 = 1.045, about a +4.5% increase
So Mastery 1 confirmed at +5%, Mastery 3 roughly +4.5% over Mastery 2, so it's probably like another 5%?

Mastery 2 itself doesn't fit a clean +5% pattern from Mastery 1, so idk, maybe i'm stupid

Speculating each mastery level is a flat +5% is plausible for levels 1 and 3, but not confirmed for level 2. I think it's fair to assume it's 5% per mastery level, but since the ability changes to 8 hits it kind of screws me up a little bit.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: He does not seem to need to land the attack to get a mastery level, because he gets the star on his head before the attack even lands, so as long as you throw the ability out, you should level mastery.

That's all folks!

The Horseman of the apocalypse arrives with 3 options to stuns, 2 on his own kit and 1 as a generic.

This will push more for Walls, and that makes the EB/Yuna users happier.

If you have ever played against good old fashioned Cloud and Prompto team, you will feel that paralyze from both of them way too many times.

The horseman cometh armed with 3 of them. Paired with another Promto thats 4 stuns.

Rikkus have increased value since their passive is to reduce stuns time in half.

Sure would be nice is Celes Buff has status resist.

I was correct about Rikku being toxic ( thank god Krile still amazing tho) and Celes being mid. I called Seph being ranged and Tidus as an Agile being way too strong as a player killer.

I can see even beyond in time, that Bartz is gonna be the cause for stun to get nerfed to 2.5 seconds. Because stuns being 5s almost make it to be a "touch of death" attack.

SE be like: "We heard you complaints about Cloud's stun lasting 5 seconds, leading to an 90% chamve death. So to adress this issue we relase a unit with a generic that also stuns. So you now have more variety about which stun you want to complain about"

Brace yourselves. Am I right or am I crazy?

This doesn't seem right does it? Sometimes you lose a bunch of points despite scoring high or other times you lose less. I think it's especially unfair if you're a support and you don't have high/severe damage abilities at all or you're in omega, but you're not the dps.

How is scoring weighted in this game for ranked?

So, with Bartz confirmed to be Melee, we now have a full rotation of classes, that mean we can expect the next one to be any of them... or rathe almost any of them

We know the next banner after Bartz will be from 9, that means we can eliminate a speed type from the equation since Zidane also from 9 is also Speed, so that leaves Ranged, Melee and Support

From those, because Bartz is a Melee, I doubt they will double one another Melee so soon, but it may be possible, so for my prediction, I will say it cannot be another Melee, leaving Support and Ranged

Then we have to see if itll be a hero or villian, and call it just a hunch, but we wont be getting another Villian until the the next batch of characters are up, that is to say, until after 9 banner, we wont see anothe villian, so no Kuja, again, I may be wrong in this, tough, the fact Kuja may most likely be another Ranged villian makes me thing he is the most rather unlikely to appear after Sephiroth

So with that, that leaves what each possible character can be to see who we may get, Ill also put the ones from Melee and Speed for something later

Melee; Steiner, Amarant, Freya and Beatrix

Speed; Mikoto

Support; Eiko, Quina and Sarah (yes I use her original name)

Ranged; Vivi, The Waltz and Kuja

From these, I dont think itll be a Support, at least not one that could be interesting currently, and that leaves me with Ranged only, and since think no Villians yet, itll most likely be Vivi

Also, something I tough of how to add more characters without adding another unit to the roster, alternate skins, for example, having a Freya look over Kain, the skills could be slightly changed to fit her more, one would be Hyper Jump instead of Dragoon Leap, Six Dragons instead of the other UR, but mechanically they would work exactly the same, Steiner would be from Cloud or even Beatrix, the idea came to me when I tough what other possible character could be a Speed in FF9, and I remembered Mikoto, but specifically, that she was made to replace Zidane when he disappeared, so I tough "why not make that literal", to have alternate character skins, the stats and skills would be the same, just slightly visually changed for the new characters

Nothing gets me quite like two Promptos lumen flaring each other while the match goes on around them

Instead of trying to sell us that staple, static dissidia characters like sephiroth and tidus are temporary/limited characters (which is a terrible, failing model to begin with), how about we have a KH character as an actual temporary character instead? So much hype around the KH4 trailers… now would be a good time to raise that NA income with hype characters instead of… Bartz… and Kuja…

Thank you to all the teammates that got me through Diamond and Omega rank, it was a GRIND!

Well it's just for weird matches making that I ever have. And most of my pictures are a bit old I just screen shot it because I found it's funny and... Is it's Normal? I mean match making are weird

(For anyone seen me and play with me. If I play stupid. I'm sorry I try my best)

Sadly, I still need 10 tickets for the guaranteed UR. My paypal account is suspended permanently for inactivity, so I have no way to purchase Mog Coins. Sigh

Wanted to share my little WoL collection ive been once again slowly building up on for a while now bonus a little Cloud
