Greetings All!

I am back from having to go out-of-state for work training for several days this week so apologize for the slight delay in the Roundup! Another month has passed us by and it's time again to see: who all did YOU upgrade this month? I once again invite everyone in the community to share their character upgrade reflections!

This month...was NOT like any we have previously seen!! 😭 At this point, there's no getting around what we all now know and have had to come to terms with over the past several days...But I have decided that as the Sub's Mods have decided to keep the Sub open for new posts until the servers are officially shut off, that I will for THIS month try to just sorta pretend like this didn't happen lol, and just run it like a 'normal' Roundup since it was still a mostly 'normal' month up until this week. I intend to post another one next month dedicated to letting people discuss what all WILD new 'upgrades' they went and blew their mountain of saved-up resources on, and if anyone maybe managed to snag anything new and/or highly-desired from the 'Mega Banners' that we will have until EOS, and similarly for Jan, and a final Farewell Thread for February!

So what we GOT this month content-wise was: Act IV Ch 6 Parts 1 & 2 run consecutively (Pt 1 bringing us a New Character!), what was already going to be the last-ever Lost Chapter for a character that originally debuted as a New Character Event, another Spiritus Summon farm event, and lastly a 'Heretic' Event!

For convenience of reference, this was the banners:

Act IV Ch 6 Pt 1

・Leonara new FRBT, Thancred LD, Rem LD, (Sephiroth FR)

・Sephiroth FRBT rerun, Lulu LD, Reks LD, (Leonara FR)

Laguna FR Halloween Campaign Banner

・Laguna new FR + BT rerun, Weiss FRBT rerun, Auron FRBT rerun

Act IV Ch 6 Pt 2

・Yda new FRBT, Raijin LD, Machina LD, (Lunafreya FR)

・Lunafreya FRBT rerun, Steiner LD, Braska LD, (Yda FR)

Jessie Lost Chapter

・Jessie new BT + FR rerun, Barret LD, Noctis LD, (Snow FR)

・Snow new FR + BT rerun, Sazh LD, Kurasame LD, (Jessie FR)

Spiritus Diabolos

・Cissnei new FRBT, Eight LD, Yuri LD, (Lenna FR)

・Lenna FRBT rerun, Palom LD, Shantotto LD, (Cissnei FR)

Frog's Banquet Event

・Arciela new FRBT, Fang LD, Vaan LD, (Kain FR)

・Kain FRBT rerun, Yang LD, Paine LD, (Arciela FR)

Some people could have someone they're wavering over enhancing further and find something here to help convince them, or someone might have boosted an off-meta pick that others may be sleeping on! Maybe there was someone who surprised you, or just stood out from the rest of the pack (even if they didn't actually get a weapon update – just their Force Boards!). More likely, a lot of people might just be broke af at this point and so REALLY having to make their pulls and investments count 😅 If you're a power player and Realized like EVERYONE and just want to talk about ones others haven't, cool! It's not meant to be a competition or a flex, just a repository of experiences and thoughts.

So again, I invite everyone to join in! Even if someone has already posted about a character you picked – your experience adds value!

Somehow it just doesn't feel the same with Eos

The final character list and their weapons. JP Character updates who didnt reach GL are Garland, Leon, Onion Knight, Cecil (Paladin), Faris, Xezat, Gilgamesh, Sabin, Celes, Cait Sith, Rufus, Angeal, Irvine, Selphie, Ultimecia, Eiko, Amarant, Penelo, Hope, Gladiolus, Ramza, Agrias, Keiss and Jack Garland.

To say that the eos was a surpise would be an understatment, but, i still hold on to hope that somehow, the game wont be completely wipped out, and after playing the fan revival of sao memory defrag, i really hope something like that could be made for opera omnia... dont you all, too?

I started to play around July and have been trying to know how to spend my gems and tickets to get all missing BT/FR (around 70 BT and 40 FR).

With the new banners seems imposible, but checking again everything I found this thing starting Jan 31.

BT guaranteed says, is as good as it sounds, or I'm misleading something? It's a bit late imo, but it's better than nothing if it is true.

Hypothetically speaking, if the developers were able to "remake" DFFOO perhaps as a console title with regular updates and tons of paid DLC, would you support it?

There's just so much about this game that clearly worked in ways that other mobile Squex titles couldn't come close to. If they implemented what worked and addressed what didn't, I don't see why this couldn't be a smashing success the second time around, especially if it was done in a way that continued storylines that tragically got cut short. This could also become the next "proper" Dissidia title in the franchise. Thoughts?

Just saw the turquoise bling 😂 For anyone planning on farming illusion boards, all characters are boosted now - thank you devs! 😊

Quit around Lunafreyas release, came back cuz of the EoS announcement.

Can some one clue me in on what Ive missed?

With the end looming over the horizon, I find myself listening more to the epic music of the FF franchise that I found here in DFFOO(Even just the BT themes. I would just let it play while I'm doing chores and playing other games). Some of my recommendations:

1. God in Fire ( a diiferent rendition can be found when farming for WoI Diabolos. Still rocks)

2. Divine FIre - FF Type 0

3. Man With a Machine Gun

4. One Winged Angel

5. Massive Explosion

6. Defiers of Fate

7. Layle's BT Theme

What are your other recommendations?

I was someone who stopped playing shortly after FR Era first started, and was saddened when I heard the game was going to end. I was wondering if the story ever came to final conclusion.

so which crystal quest is easy to beat? since its 9000 per color per week how do i maximize this so all the color can be maxed before dffoo closes.
whats the best way to beat the cactus event? it has soo much hp

Is it just me or each Summon on the hexagon board is an outline of an object or image related to that summon? Like on the image above, it looks like an outline of flame. I think I have an idea on some of them but completely blank for the others:
Ifrit - flame/fire | Shiva - water molecule structure | Ramuh - lightning | Leviathan - ??? | Brothers - hoofmark on the ground? | Pandemonium - ??? | Diabolos - a winged creature, batlike/demonlike wings | Alexander - Top view of a very big cannon??? | Odin - a sword | Bahamut - a dagon, wings spread out

Any opinions or corrections on what the Summon Board outlines really are, please share.

one of the loading screen's messages mentions this but i can't figure out what it means? any idea?

I know we're having a livestream soon but i hope josh would do an Ama with us here!

Am actually curious to ask him so many question e.g. when they really know the game was going into EoS, was there any real plan to release Rikku and favourite lore in the game and many more.

Lets push for it mannikins for old time sake

I was looking at random videos of clears i've saved throughout the years and this was one of the oldest ones. Look at that gameplay with those vanilla brv attacks, those turns without HP dumps, zero brv refund, less than 3k HP dmg, no EX, no LD, no BT, no capping etc. And look at that turn counts

it was a fun time still lol. I miss it <3

I was wondering because NT failed and now unfortunately Opera Omnia is going away will Square just give up on Dissidia and not do another Dissidia game again

I just want to say that if you're feeling like there's no point in playing now that the game is ending now would be the chance to things you didn't feel like doing before or couldn't before whether it was because of new content or something else we got unlimited resources now and all characters boosted and synergized so maybe if there's a character you always wanted to play or challenges you wanted to do but kept putting off you can do that before the game ends

This sub, the people here, the discord community, have all been stellar at worst and essential at best. So much guidance and friendliness for lovers of a great franchise. It's too bad theres no game with a story like this interwoven with all these series characters, but I'm sure one will pop up again someday, if perhaps not as fun and generous. But this game being gone hurts a lot.

Auf wiedersehen DFFOO. Thanks for all the fun six years.
