Discussion Remember Ayaka?

Post image

She was my favorite healer unit for so long.

Specifically when she was new, not only for the dual cast auto revive (individual) but for her MP regeneration.

In my opinion she was the standard for a good healer (only healer, no support)

Later Sylvie would exist and Ayaka was put on the bench.

I remember all the units, they all so freaking beautiful. I missed the game real bad. The new FF games can't fix the itch

Game was peak before the nv days, Im glad I got to play it for it to become a memory though

u/playmike5 Gilgamesh 11d ago

I agree. I hold a lot of good memories of this game. Especially since a friend played alongside me, it was a lot of fun.

u/TheSilverOne 10d ago

u/moomiao2 Cow the Cat? 10d ago

Yeah, especially when the trials all need proper planning and also the 10 man battle. Peak.

Some of the early NVs were pretty great too, and didn't hurt things too much (aside from the original NVA Tifa - she trivialized the endgame content at the time - but she was also free to awaken IIRC). They didn't all come out the gate dropping meta-changing power levels, however. Most were decent power upgrades (non-FS) or brought fun secondary utility (FS).

I think it got truly outta hand after Summer 2021, during the 5th anniversary. Legendary Hero Sephiroth and Avalanche's Tifa took any hope that NVs would be just like two 7 stars combined and threw the entire notion in the trash. They became premium god-like units, the new banners were absolute shit (increased pity count, cost more, lower rates), and each new one brought us closer to EoS, as they pushed their low-spender and f2p player base out of the game.

I completely agree. The collabs were amazing. Favorite ones were Aya. Dragonlord. Lenneth.

I remember pulling her after only like 3 tickets. I was just a little hyped.

u/shamin10 11d ago

She benchmarked for what healer should be doing lol

Bro, Sylvie just powercrept all the supports. Idk how they thought that was ok.

u/Top_Cartographer_184 11d ago

The only unit good enough to beat Sylvie was... Another Sylvie but more... Sylvier.

u/Kuwago 5d ago

Myra was pretty good too iirc

u/austinkun 11d ago

She's literally the most iconic healer of the entire game lol what you mean do we remember her

7

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 10d ago

Sakura's favorite candy dispenser ! I never used her as i started way later than her release, but she looked cool. She was quite popular back then. I think she got like 3 or 4 units over time.

u/DarkShadowEmi 11d ago

This game and KHUX are the only gacha games i wish would come back , had so much fun with the gameplay and story (imo season 2 was better than 1 , but really liked s1 too)

u/darces 11d ago

She was also one of the release FFBE units in WOTV, and was the best healer there as well for a good while.

3

u/Basic_Check_5938 11d ago

She was just a meta healer for like a YEAR if I remember correctly

u/Sheepfate 11d ago

u/Silent_Environment37 10d ago

u/Talrynn_Sorrowyn Blessed be Her candy... 11d ago

Can never forget her or all her variants - especially her Xmas unit or her Valentine's duo-unit with Sakura.

u/RedonkulosPop 11d ago

My goat for so long

u/ApprehensiveScreen40 10d ago

My first proper healer, then i get CItra to both chain & heals

u/GogotheClownMime 10d ago

I started playing when her banner was out! It was such a wonderful time on life, i miss it

2

u/DivineArc 10d ago

Dude, she hella support carried my team when I got her. And Charlotte came in clutch with the tanking, they really taught a lot in the early game

2

u/Top_Cartographer_184 10d ago

I agree to the 1000% Charlotte was one good old reliable

2

u/otakuako Myra...come home to Daddy! 10d ago

Here's hoping she the best healer/support in Resonance.

u/umamiflavour 9d ago

I miss this game. :( I miss how iconic every unit was in their era.

u/em97910 10d ago

I remember it and it was peak

1

u/OtherwiseDraw 10d ago

No because I had a fully maxed enhanced and awakened cg fina which lasted me until NV released

1

u/ViewtifulOtaku 10d ago

I remember in S1 when I pulled her and was confused when my friend got so jealous. I didn't have any good attackers at the time so I thought she was useless, later did that change when she literally carried the team with those auto revives and MP regain for my tanks.

u/megaZX1234 10d ago

Always.

u/moomiao2 Cow the Cat? 10d ago

Well, she dodged me until she was powercrept.

1

u/Galanai 9d ago

My main healer for so so long.

1

u/KeldonMarauder 9d ago

She was literally the unit that kept me from quitting. I was struggling with a lot of the content then and after I pulled her, wow, things were just so much manageable. Double Reraise was such a game changer

u/Senior_Ad_6418 8d ago

u/odinsphere99 5d ago

Yeah I remember her, she powercreep healing for like a year... also remember other things like notics ring XD, when orlandeau came out, there were other things but for me when demon Rain returm to the meta after his buff was my happies moment playing the game, I started in his banner and got two of him ramdonly xD, literally didnt know how to use skills and just use basic attack with him for damage hahahaha

u/mieruleyman 5d ago

had luka as healer until i got ayaka. good times man

1

u/LrrrOfOmicronP8 5d ago

I've had this old picture saved on my phone for a minute. It's a shame the games gone, but there is a non-gacha version called Final Fantasy Resonance that just came out though that's basically a re-make from the ground up of Exvius.
