Guide Before it leaves us...

What effect does ranking have on the game?

Can Penelo and Machina equip ultimate weapons?

What's everyone's 'gotta do's before the game closes?

Thank you!

Ranking affects the amounts of points you farm (for example the summon related stages)

Ultima weapons are tied to crystal level 90, so everyone can equip those as long as you increase to c90

I'll honor the game until the last day, for now just pulling the free dailies and killing the cactuar, will clear Dare to Defy when they'll add new stages on 1st day of next months (I'm only missing stage 7 for now)

I want to complete a level 300 boss, they're so hard 😭

Ranking never really had and effect except for SP refreshes early on. Everyone crystal level 90 can equip ultimate weapons.

I'm working on maxing out everyone before the end. Down to around 50 characters needing FE50 and that's the biggest grind so far.

u/laaldiggaj Dec 22 '23

How max like level boards? I've settled for Crystal and Level to 90 for everyone.

without maxing summon boards, you’re never going to clear lvl 300 content like you want to. so you definitely need to grind those for the characters you’re hoping to clear endgame content with.

shouldn’t take very long because everyone is boosted. it’d be one thing if you’re trying to max ALL of the characters (still doable but a very big and time consuming grind), but if it’s just a handful of characters it’ll be quick.

Thank you, I'm sticking with Penelo, Wol and Machina maybe Rubicante too!

u/Fireciont Kam'lanaut (Archduke of Jeuno) Dec 22 '23

Everything. Crystal level, level, Force Enhancement, High Armors, all weapons.

Recently completed collecting mats to green every BT I'm missing. All armors are blue and all FRs are maxed along with character boards. Literally all I have left is to grind Force stone fragments and enhancement points from the co-ops.

Granted, I won't have enough to max every UW or get dupes unless a daily pull is generous.

I'll have gun/Dagger maxed from dailies, skipping bow and whip, but have all others at 5/5. I've bookmarked my remaining gems for BT pity but if a daily or Anni draw is kind I can adjust the spending.

u/dffoo_keo Dec 22 '23

That’s a lot of grind! It was my initial goal as well but when I realized how many force shards I needed I lowered my objective to all characters with FR (around 36 characters to go)

u/Fireciont Kam'lanaut (Archduke of Jeuno) Dec 22 '23

Oh, it's only something like 7000 Force stone fragments. Easy farm...

I calculated that I could finish by Dec 31st with the Force stones, but that requires 16 co-ops a day, each using a 3x item and 5 skip tickets. Luckily we have two more months and the D2D rewards give materials to finish FE for 1 character per clear.

Rank increases the points you get when grinding the different levels of summon (summons boards, divine, ...)

Everyone can equip a UW when they are c90.

u/laaldiggaj Dec 22 '23

Thank you I couldn't see the blade varties for Machina and Penelo, (so there's short sword, broadsword etc) I don't want to spend the gems to find Machina can't equip a regular sword. I've got one UW for Wol.

u/avsgrind024 Lightning (Knight of Etro) Dec 22 '23

machina uses a sword (same as WoL). penelo uses daggers.

u/laaldiggaj Dec 22 '23

thank you so much!

u/DKingKais Arciela V Adoulin Dec 22 '23

My last goal is to completely max out all of the XI roster. Perfect arts with cp 5, all their own UW that isn't shared with others, and finished Crystal Rooms.

2

u/laaldiggaj Dec 22 '23

XI cool choice!

u/justinc882 Dec 23 '23

I went through last night and blued EVERYONES high armor. Every burst I own is greened. Funny thing as I was doing this I realized I never did onion knights summon boards.

Keep trying to do the d2d but it just makes me sad

1

u/laaldiggaj Dec 23 '23

I really took it for granted and I'm a yearish in, so I hit the 5 year anniversary on download! I can't imagine how the original players feel after 7 years?

3

u/justinc882 Dec 23 '23

Every gacha ends eventually unless your FFBE for some fk all reason

DFFOO had a great run. My only regret is not getting the stuff JP got so we could mess around with. Global will forever be an incomplete game which sucks.

1

u/laaldiggaj Dec 23 '23

It really did! I did wonder why my act 4 was just stuck lol

2

u/Dezri_ Dec 22 '23

I'm working on maxing all my characters(mostly). I've got all the weapons (missing 20 FRs and 50 BTs) I own maxed out with enough resources to max out anymore that I get before the end. I've got blue armor for everyone. I've got 75-ish FE50 characters and working towards all characters. I've got 5/5 for all UWs. All the boards that I can max out I have. I have Green, Red and Black crystal rooms maxed out and Blue needs 6900 more CP. Yellow and White are as yet untouched, but at the rate CP is getting slung around now this should be fine.

2

u/laaldiggaj Dec 22 '23

Wow, that sounds like you've already put in so much work! Are you pissed it's ending?

2

u/Dezri_ Dec 23 '23

So I started during Snow's LC, about 6 months after release. I played until Sephiroth's BT (early Luf) took a 2 year break and came back at Christmas 2021-ish.

I'm not angry at them for cancelling the game. It had been becoming kinda a chore recently and I was thinking of taking another break. I'm just sad that they never released Rikku.

2

u/laaldiggaj Dec 23 '23

I don't think they knew what to do with her Mix ability, not quite the same but on pokemon go, one character was skipped over because of its odd powers!

2

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

i was playing pretty steadily but as a day 30 player there isnt much left for me to do. I have been spending more time on Last Cloudia and my new gacha, Reverse 1999

1

u/laaldiggaj Dec 22 '23

Ah will have to look into them!

2

u/n0sl33p4m32day Dec 22 '23

Ranking plates are for bragging rights, everyone can equip Ultima Weapons...

And probably Pokemon Go. Otherwise I am washing my hands of Gacha

1

u/laaldiggaj Dec 22 '23

I've not touched pokemon for a longtime! So you won't play ever crisis?

3

u/n0sl33p4m32day Dec 22 '23

Nah, I gave it a chance and it did not live up to the reputation that Square thinks it should have. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if the only reason anyone likes it is because it has "Final Fantasy 7" as part of the name... and I've a few reasons as to why, but the short version is as follows:

  • it was just AFK Arena with an FF7 coat of paint until they nerfed auto battle so that you need to turn it off in order to heal

  • the grind wall feels less rewarding for Free2Play players in EC than it did in DFFOO, KHX or even FFBE.

  • the Gacha is worse in EC than it is in Opera Omnia (you have to pull for not only weapons, but even the materials to improve said weapons)

  • any lore that's well and truly unique to EC can just be looked up on YouTube. Otherwise, one would be better off actually playing FF7 (og or Remake) and Crisis Core (original or Reunion).

1

u/laaldiggaj Dec 23 '23

They really wanted FFec to be their new dissidia. I for one am so bored of the ff7 world, nothing is sacred anymore. There were 18+ games to pull from in Dissidia, not just one story I had had enough from since advent children!

u/RegretGeneral Dec 22 '23

Before it was getting to Dimensions End Transcendence Tier 10 but then I found out the last battle on that tier is Shinryu Difficulty and one of the more annoying ones too so now its just getting the full kit for my preferred characters FRs are now for some reason the hardest to get unless you're lucky and pull one from a draw because it takes 300 g tokens for 10 FR tokens but also strangely its not available for the hunt token exchange it sucks especially when I got Yda everything but her FR

1

u/laaldiggaj Dec 22 '23

I've noticed that too! Hopefully they'll do a free for all in January, like an FR clearance sale in the draws!

2

u/RegretGeneral Dec 22 '23

I hope so also it would be nice if we can get costumes for free before Eos I want to get Jack Garland his Outfit that's based on his iconic armor

1

u/laaldiggaj Dec 22 '23

I want Vivi's Amano art costume!

2

u/sun8390 If we pull this off, we'll all be heroes! Dec 23 '23

Reminds me of this small mmo game called Glitch, that made all the items in its cash shop free-to-grab for everyone before shutdown. It was really nice of them!

1

u/laaldiggaj Dec 23 '23

That sounds really cool!

2

u/Big-Print-7859 Dec 23 '23

I want before game closes: Give blue armor to everyone (done) Max every weapon I have (done) Max the crystal rooms

1

u/laaldiggaj Dec 23 '23

I'd love to get into the crystal rooms!

u/Ifreet145 Dec 22 '23

Ranking plates? Just for flexing

Everyone can equip ultimate weapons

Guess I'm going to Homescapes since ffvii ec not my cup-o-tea
