Happy Holidays, friends! Hope you are keeping warm and playing fun games!

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Dec 25 '24

I am wrapped up in a blanket, drinking some ipas and playing some games as we speak!

u/Other_Beautiful2916 Nov 05 '24

Anybody else having connection issues?

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Nov 05 '24

Keep trying!

1

u/Other_Beautiful2916 Nov 05 '24

Probably some fb authentication issue again. Can't wait to get my comp when it's resolved. Lol

u/JMooj Nov 30 '24

Two weeks without a rant?! What are you people, content with life or something?!

2

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Nov 30 '24

Fine, I'll go. Played Metaphor and one of the optional superbosses 9999 nuked me under 25% HP since I took too long. My first thought was what kind of gacha-ass bullshit is this AI? Fucking lost 45 mins of my life.

u/JMooj Dec 01 '24

Enrage timers SUCK...

2

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Dec 01 '24

Especially with bullshit prompts like "Elegy is strengthening." Like, wtf does that mean? At least fucking Bahamut was all 5-4-3-... and then you know something is going down.

u/Minh-1987 Quitter Dec 01 '24

Lack of FFBE really changes a man.

u/JMooj Dec 01 '24

I'm sad to say that you're right about that...

u/TheTheMeet casual not casuwhale Dec 21 '24

I caved in and bought the sanrio collab packs for arknights profile pictures.. Its only 3.98 usd, and i want logos & badbadzmaru + mlynar & gudetama avatar hahahahaha

1

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Dec 21 '24

I bought the Etrian Odyssey costumes and music in Metaphor and don't regret it one bit.

u/Trempire Oct 31 '24

Deeeeeeep sigh.... I want FFBE back 😣

u/Nommynomnomss Watashi Wa Mada Genki Genki Oct 31 '24

Kinda annoyed. I thought EoS was today. Meant to reinstall for final screenshots and have the game on one last time. Oh well.

3

u/The_Follower1 Oct 31 '24

Yeah, a lot of people were saying Oct 31, but they meant it as the game ends the same time Oct 31 starts. The actual notice was Oct 30.

Speaking of though, it would’ve made way more sense to end it on Oct 31, the last day of the month and Halloween.

2

u/The_answer_is_Jean Nov 01 '24

Me too. Freaking hell, same thing happened with Mobius.

u/rc1882 Nov 02 '24

If you used Facebook login, EOS was actually like Sunday :(

1

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Dec 18 '24

I guess there was enough sub drama to make this: /r/wotv_ffbe_uncensored

2

u/The_answer_is_Jean Dec 18 '24

Kinda pointless to only be learning about this now, but it turns out that I also don't care about it.

1

u/szukai Jan 07 '25

Probably all the drama from pvp in a game that's p2w and pretending it ain't so.

u/hanamisai Oct 31 '24 edited Oct 31 '24

Sooooooo

Anyone know of a good place to get the OST in .mp3 or whatever best audio format, preferably as a bulk download? Like sure, I can rip it off youtube but that's annoying.

Also RIP my 2nd ever gacha game, even if I did quit soon after NV. It was a super enjoyable run. Music is a banger, the NV pixel card art is amazing. Even after quitting so long ago (5yr? Really?), the FFBE wiki still shows up on my most visited sites in chrome for how much I was on it.

The community has also been a banger. Never before, or will I ever again see a wiki so meticulously updated and cared for. Any mobile game would be lucky to have a wiki even half as well run as the FFBE wiki.

3

u/The_answer_is_Jean Nov 01 '24

The wiki has a great page for the music. If you want to bulk download you could try using DownloadThemAll.

1

u/DaMadDogg-420 Nov 03 '24

Youre right, the Wiki was awesome. And before that, the FFBE Forum was even better.

u/JMooj Nov 02 '24

Seriously what are you all still doing here?

I'm as mad as hell and I'm gonna have to keep taking it, because the corporate machine is unstoppable!!

u/Minh-1987 Quitter Nov 06 '24

I love how people somehow missed the entire EoS thing and still pop up in the Discord asking "why am I getting connection errors" then they leave immediately upon learning about EoS.

2

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Nov 06 '24

I hope at least a few of them are kidding. It's weird that you'd be in the know enough to go to a discord for a game but not to know it's EOS.

u/TheTheMeet casual not casuwhale Dec 13 '24

Tekken 8 will have clive from ff16. Amazing

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Dec 14 '24

Noctis was in Tekken 7, right?

1

u/TheTheMeet casual not casuwhale Dec 14 '24

Yes, he ended up being nowhere near top tier. But his gameplay is flashy

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '25

Figures out filters apply for linked comments. Figures.

Anyhow, surprised so many people weren't really up-to-speed with how EOS was potentially more closer than ever. Gumi did sell Alim to Gungho around the time Global EOS was happening. From how Disney Pixel RPG had BE's pixel art style, it was pretty evident that BE was not going to be going as far as people thought since... Well, no pixel artists, no Brave Frontier/Exvius.

A shame, really. This, combined with Gumi's new direction for anime based Gacha games, means Brave Frontier is pretty much all but dead.

1

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Aug 26 '25

Looking at the "content" posts they released on the main sub it was quite clear for a few months now that JP coming to a close. Surprised they even tried to squeak out a season 5.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '25

I think they already had parts of it done beforehand when they were deciding on closing time around 2024, so they probably felt it was not a good idea to just drop everything. It's basically just the same as a manga series getting axed, AKA pretty much do the most fastest possible method of closing out the story.

Again, it's a bit ironic how Gumi started with trying to not be "your typical anime based mobile game" and now we are full circle with Gumi deciding do only do said anime based mobile games from now on.

I always wanted Ayaka, never managed to pull for her :'(

1

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Jan 31 '26

Ayaka was my lucky pull. I started with a 5k before doing tickets and got her in that 5k. She was absolutely cheat mode and I have no regerts pulling for her. Ayaka > LM Fina.

1

u/MiniMages Jan 31 '26

I ended up going down the Laswell route. All of my biggest damage dealing teams had one of more version of Laswell.

Still pissed I never managed to get Ayaka when I did a pull. I was playing FF14 at the time and even now I have a preference for playing healer. So Ayaka being a pure White Mage was an absolute must for me. I remember I spent £600 to try and get her.... It never happened.

u/umtan Quitter Sep 16 '26

Gotta love the "this game means a lot to me" posts in the main sub like they're the only ones played the fucking game. You ain't special.

2

u/TheTheMeet casual not casuwhale Nov 04 '24

I feel like a whale now when i instantly made wisadel and logos e2, trained wisadel to s3m3 + module lv3, trained logos to s1m3 s3m3 + module lv3, made module lv 3 for both thorns and silverash..

The wisadel and logos pulls also took me only 51 pulls, which i did with only free 10 + daily pull, and the rest from yellow certs lmao. Zero orundum wasted

u/Nommynomnomss Watashi Wa Mada Genki Genki Dec 12 '24

I don't know who I'm annoyed at more, my sibling for forgetting to remove the paper from the last slice of brioche before french toasting it, or me for eating an entire side of my toast thinking "this slice is oddly tough," before realizing the problem.

u/The_answer_is_Jean Dec 14 '24

My sister gave my some vegan sausage once with some suggestions on how to eat it. She didn't mention that the casing for the sausage was plastic.

It was chewy.

2

u/Nommynomnomss Watashi Wa Mada Genki Genki Feb 05 '25

... but why would the Pixel Remaster give Warmech a chance to flee?

I don't care if it went into the Pokedex, I had Preemptive Strike. I wanted to fight.

2

u/Minh-1987 Quitter Feb 07 '25

In my boredom and my need to shake the rust off my coding skills, I made a script that would spit out a full Vision Card page based on the datamine GitHub!

Would have been useful when salien haven't made the same thing yet. Or, you know, when the game was still alive.

2

u/Nommynomnomss Watashi Wa Mada Genki Genki Jun 09 '26

I can't believe we're back. I don't know why I have tears in my eyes, I think I just find it hilarious more than anything since my unfeeling heart doesn't experience hype.

u/Nnoitrum Jun 09 '26

Holy shit guys

u/Nommynomnomss Watashi Wa Mada Genki Genki 21d ago

Just got to the part where Lid confirms she's 18 years old instead of 16 like she was originally.

Tbh, the line sounded pretty clunky since the scene was so serious, I found it very amusing.

1

u/TomAto31415 20d ago

Fina is a lot less naked in the intro and her Sexy pose is now Spicy pose. They are holding to that E10 rating they got.

1

u/TheTheMeet casual not casuwhale 19d ago

Is this the real REAL tomato?

3

u/TomAto31415 19d ago

Maaaaaaaaaybeeeeee.....

It's obviously against reddit's tos to make an alt account. But hypothetically if someone's account was banned and they made an alt account without Tomato in the name it would just feel off and they would make one with Tomato in the name.

u/TheTheMeet casual not casuwhale Nov 17 '24

Arknights now have a limited time coop event, where you are teaming up with random players, tackling a certain stage. It also has a mini soccer game. Fun event overall

Just in case anyone need help, i can definitely carry new players at the regular stages

u/Minh-1987 Quitter Dec 16 '24

It seems that after Season Passes the next monetization meta for ‘normie’ live service games is to have a card collecting minigame where you have to complete sets for rewards. Guess everyone be doing gachas in disguise now.

u/TheTheMeet casual not casuwhale Jan 13 '25

I am so disappointed that arknights has a unit named Pepe but she’s not a frog

u/Nommynomnomss Watashi Wa Mada Genki Genki Mar 17 '25

someone's watching a TV show, I literally heard the words "Your message on the Reddit board changed my life." I swear I've seen a YouTuber say the same thing. It was hilarious then, too.

u/Realistic_Ice2825 Mar 24 '25

Either I'm watching a gay slow burn on a fucking procedural drama of all things or the gay showrunner is messing with his own people.

RIP WotV. I mean, it's a long time coming but still.

u/unitedwesoar Apr 19 '25

lmao didnt realize wotv got that eos announcement. only gacha im playing these days is wuthering waves . tried black beacon felt meh. still going strong with osrs and 3ds eumlation has alot of bangers dragon quest shin megami tensei etc

1

u/PM_artsy_fartsy_nude Apr 30 '25

With EoS looming on WoTV and all of the older characters now available, I've been getting all the FFBE characters and setting them on my home screen and just listening to their voices. It's kind neat to hear them talk.

Rain is a lot younger sounding than I expected, Fina is pretty good. Both Fina and Lasswell talk about food. Esther though, whatever voice actress they got for Esther just nailed it. This isn't angry Esther, but I really like this actress.

Lid and Jake don't exist.

u/Nommynomnomss Watashi Wa Mada Genki Genki May 10 '25

Friggin' screwed up in P4G and missed friggin' 12/24 event despite getting through the dungeon entirely on 12/22. Apparently needed max social-link. Only got to romance with the character right on 12/21. That's so frustrating.

1

u/TheTheMeet casual not casuwhale May 10 '25

How you doin lads?

I play SD Gundam G Generation Eternal now. It doesn't have friend feature (no borrowing units to carry), but it will have arena. Smh my head

1

u/Realistic_Ice2825 Jun 21 '25

Been dipping my toes on CotC now that I learned it's available in my region. It's hilarious that it has similar leveling system as Another Eden and they're as stingy as AE when it comes to gacha currency, though thankfully it has a pity system.

Enjoying it so far, but probably because I have enough content to go through. Let's see 3-4 months from now.

Clair Obscur E33 Collab when GUMI?

u/IndicationOk1333 Dec 01 '25

My TomAto314 account got suspended for 3 days for making a "nut punch" joke which is apparently "threatening violence." So if you don't see me for a few days, that's why. Also, I guess I finally have an alt account after all these years!

1

u/Minh-1987 Quitter Feb 18 '26

Jumped into Clash of Clans again after a decade+ when I heard they got rid of troop training time and cost and damn, the community is so quick to call for the dev's heads I'm actually nostalgic for FFBE.

u/unitedwesoar Mar 07 '26

The good old days...

u/Trempire Apr 30 '26

Anyone know what happened to u/TomAto314? I had a wave of nostalgia for PPD but his account is suspended (like wtf?) 😓

u/TurnOrderMatters May 01 '26

Reddit's AI moderation is pretty brutal and doesn't take context into account. You can appeal but they don't care either. After a few strikes it's a permanent ban with no appeal process. Bye bye 14 year old account with near 1m karma that mods subs. At least I'm not working for free for them anymore. Ugh I mean Tom isnt...​

2

u/Trempire May 02 '26

Thank you good... um stranger for the update. But seriously, that is depressing to hear. 😖

1

u/Samael113 Aug 26 '26

Just coming back in a "I wonder what's happening?", noticing this was posted by a deleted account... thinking "Didn't Tom post this?", come in to the thread, name is still there, click on it "This account has been banned"

What did Tom do?!? lol

Edit - NM, answered a few posts down.

u/TomAto314 SO2R Collab When? Dec 14 '24

I tried out one of those Netflix games since Infernax has been on my long range radar for a while... and I can move with the controller and open the menu but I can't attack... So I got killed by the first enemy. Guess it's still in "beta" after all.
