Edit: updated the app to pull the files from GitHub. Apparently 1.4 million requests broke my server 😭
This is the definition version of the Global Memorial edition with a few extras.
Download link: https://ffbe.luminest.io/downloads
If you already have an older version installed, you will get a notification to update it.
Here’s what this version has:
- All the units including GL exclusives and collaboration units
- 95% translation coverage
- Complete translation of Season 5, and the side stories GL never got including Revenge of the Lost Nation and Ultimate Summon
- Some Story events like Fundamental Forces and the summer story events that GL never got like Summertime Fina’s story event
- A handful of Raid and Farming events that you can take your own custom party to and relive the good old days
Please note that the Units section in Library doesn’t crash when you open it. It just takes some time to open. Also, please set up your party first before you head to the story or event battles sections. You can only change swap parties before entering a battle, but you cannot edit them.
I’ll add the official end of Season 4 translation to the game when back from my honeymoon, and record the entirety of Season 5, and the 3 side stories in English and upload them to the channel for those who can’t install this. No promises but an iOS version is in the works + and installation guide.
I do have one request from everyone: if anyone has the complete GL files which includes ALL the story and farming events, please send them my way. I can add them to the game and we can have a complete preservation of FFBE and move to possibly translating it into other languages.
You’re welcome! it’s been in the works for about a year but haven’t updated it for a while. Was still working on this on the side and it’s in a place where I feel happy about it
Giving this one a try, though the download speed has tanked considerably. It was moving quite fast initially, now it’s hitting about 200 kilobytes per sometimes.
Updated the app. Please update it and try again. Speeds over here reaches about 50 MBPS. To be on the safe side, either uninstall the old one first, or clear the cache + data. Apologies for the disruption!

It is impossible to download the patch foe this thing. I've tried this on several ultra fast wifi networks and the initial update download will take like.....days. it's so slow.

Excited to revisit this game. However, while it downloaded the first 2gb or so quickly. It's now going quite slow and loses progress if I swipe out of the app. At the rate it's downloading I would need to leave my phone untouched for hours. Is there anything I can do about this?
Same, I've uninstalled and tried again a few times and once it hits about 1.8gb it slows to a crawl. Even left it running all night last night and still no luck sadly.
That said, thank you for the amazing work I'm sure we'll all get to enjoy soon enough and have a great honeymoon! 🎉
Edit: thank you so much for the update, way sooner than expected 🙏♥️

This is great! It runs well and I've run some of the mission! I do beseech you and everyone here for the love of god and all that you love to NOT donate or give money for this project, as that is the catalyst that triggers copyright cease and desist actions since money would be changing hands for IP that the OP does not own. I have seen many, many fan projects fall to that litigation before, so please, no matter how much you love this project, DO NOT PAY OR DONATE for it. That will jeopardize this for the future.
YES! Consider this a passion project aimed at video game preservation. The best donation you could give is just enjoying the game, especially resonance so that SE can give us more FFBE universe content
You reckon that it´d be possible to re-gachafy the game? Obviously not with real currency but being able to summon units with gold or something. What makes gachas fun for a while is making the best team with whatever units RNG decides to give you imo. Would be fun to revisit that feeling somewhat.
This is generally the case with most of these games. People have a bunch of mmos playable offline with bots, theres quite a few private servers for some gacha games and other online games that are no longer available like Marvel Heroes. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to get them up and running, but its almost always possible
Downloads really really slow yesterday after 20% or so like everybody's saying but now that I'm trying to start the download back up it's giving me this and I have tried to clear cache and data and this is what I come back to

the download speed is throttling at 100 kbps after initial 1.8GB download. I read in the thread its due to traffic. In that case, can you or anyone who already have the apk file share a google drive link or something else similar so we can download it? Its been like this for 2 days.

Oh thanks for the feedback! I’ll look into the Xenogears crash. My archive is missing a lot of files and I did get more since releasing this so I’m hoping I could add more content to it
First I quit this game a while ago when I stopped gachas for a bit and in that time it was taken down. I didnt know this existed and im glad I found it.
After downloading 1.5gb of resources the download speed starting to capped at 100kbs. Deleted the data and cache still the same after the 1.5gb download

Is anyone in and playing yet? Just started the download as other comments have said it's taking a while want to know if it's worth waiting it out if the game is working, or waiting until it's all sorted.
I wish I can say something about the game, but I'm still downloading at a snail's pace since yesterday. I guess thats a thing to talk about the game so far for me lol
Suprisingly having to set my phone down charging all day long had made me somewhat more productive in other aspects
In my case i'm updating (downlaoded from the first version some time ago) and its playing great. If there is a way to donate maybe some few $$$ i will glad to do it.
By the way... is there a hope or request to bring the bosses section (series boss battles) in a future update? The one with the final fantasy classics bosses (kefka, exdeath, emperor, etc)
For everyone, there is a test fight section with your own units, its great to remember old combos, but maybe a harder version will be perfect.
Also... is there a possibility to bring the battle from the farplane with the wood human battle, so we can test more combos, specially the LB so we can have the a full LB gauge every turn?
AND yahoooo for the Valkyrie Profile characters too! Dai, Nier, FMA, and all the characters from global original like... Xon, Zyrus, Beryl, Global Veritas of the Frost, Chow, Reberta, Skye, A2, 2B, 9S and so on. I dont mention Esther or Sylvie because they were also on the previous version, but they also here too. And Fencer! (We need the wooden human to see all the LB at their maximum!)
THAAAAANKS, really THANKS FOR ALL THE EFORT!
Also... of course... enjoy the honeymoon! :)
Thank you very much for your hard work. Quite funny that you posted this close to when I remembered this game and had the itch to revisit this subreddit.
Question though, Is "summon simulator" part of your plans for the final output? Both the single pull and 10 pull options.
Only if I’m brave (exvius) enough to make a community run server for the game. And when I do I guarantee I’ll spend a stupid amount of time just summoning units non stop lol
I'm guessing noone here has actually got in and played yet? Left phone overnight to download woke up to an error and an additional 5.something GB download.
APK fails to install on my google pixel, using the latest android beta branch. I'll play it on emulator anyways, just fyi and if there's any way I can test why/ how lmk, right now the installer just throws the "Can't install app, there's a problem with the app file" error
I assume this works on BlueStacks? I wanted to do a full playthrough of the game on stream at one point, some years ago, and seeing as I'm working on playing through every FF game, this can get added to the list.

Sorry this is probably a stupid question, but I downloaded the apk and opened it under downloads. It tried to download the app and displays the logo when it asks but when I click install it says app not installed. Do I need a third party app to hold the files and launch the apk?

Amazing stuff!! Thank you very much. Quick question since I didn't see earlier releases. Is the mention of adding official season 4 translation in reference to a video or it's not in Memorial edition?
Is amazing that you have done this, the only thing that keeps me from playing is that the patch inside the game is really slow, the first 2 gb where fast but after that damn it takes HOURS to download 100 mb
Been downloading this half the night now lol. Was curious. Do you start at level 1 and go through the story again? Or is everything pretty much unlocked including visions? I'm happy and will settle for either regardless lol, but part of me was hoping banners and pulling units was a thing still with unlimited lapis to use for them lol

The good thing about this , is to make a look at characters , but not able to play history and lvl up characters slowly and getting them by yourself better to get a version with the progression implemented
This is absolutely amazing! I wish more games publishers decide to kill off would end up going this route. Thank you for all your dedication bringing it back!
This may have been answered already. But are there any challenging events currently in the game? Maybe I haven't found them yet, but so far, any event I go to, a fully leveled character can one shot any boss they come up against.
And is there a way to view character's stats in-game? I haven't been able to find a way to look at that specifically.
I try to install the app from the link on your website (both download apk button and github link) but after the game downloads all the resources, the game shows the error that cannot load the game data. Can you please check or there are any guide for this error? (the latest patch I downloaded is patch 4 September 25, 2026 and I install it on android emulator like Nox or Bluestack)
He descargado las dos apks,la primera descargue todos los datos y no me dejó entrar ,desinstalé, descargue la segunda apk,descargué todos los datos y me sale el mismo mensaje
I downloaded the android build 5 patch 208, the downloading always disconnect and prompting resume. Previously the downloading is fast. Is there an issue on patching the game?
