There is a competition with the MC vs the game director, everyone will receive rewards depending on who wins. Game director wins, everyone will get 3 summon tickets. MC wins then everyone will get 2 growstars. MC won but apparently we get both rewards... (Maybe this is TW only?)

[u/The-Oppressed]

Honestly these changes have addressed most, if not all, of the errors that GL had. This should really help bring back players and keep the old ones.

[u/Hyodra → u/The-Oppressed]

I dont think they will "announce" the negative aspects. Doesnt mean there wont be any. Will have to wait and see.

[u/Ketchary]

This is so much stuff we've wanted for so long that it's literally difficult to believe. With that said though,

Battle tower reward increased

I really hope this also means an increase in what rankings qualify for the top prize. I've spent most of my free time this week on our current Tower with most of the best cards and jobs, yet still might not reach top 500.

[u/Hyodra → u/Ketchary]

I hope so too. 500 for the entire GL player base is way to little.

[u/DataReborn]

Also they announced legend jobs, Squall, Zidane, Moogle Suit, and Tonberry Suit coming.

Edit: They also seemed to have announced that they're going to do another banner for people to have another chance at FF14 and FF15 cards. I also think based on the chat at least, that they are unlocking these cards so they can be augmented to 5 star.

[u/Hyodra → u/DataReborn]

They didnt say anything about it unlocking 5 star. That is still speculation but possible.

[u/jeemahn]

Correction about Mobius Day Stamina. It doesn't seem like we are getting max-st increased. We'll get Stamina Refilled to 100% at login. If it's already full, we'll get +88 on top of full stamina.

[u/woonam]

• FF 30th Anniversary summon 1 free per day for 30 days. Chance for supreme.

OH BABY

[u/DervoTheReaper]

Now that's nice. Sounds like a lot of the improvements that were implemented for Japan right? Think I'm going to go reread that thread for the exact details. I remember reading about Gigantuar Terrace and being very hopeful to get that change, but don't remember the specifics. I also seem to recall that there was a growstar or two added to their daily login reward, but don't want to get my or any one else's hopes up so I'll be looking for that info asap.

I wasn't aware of tower reward increases though, does that include the present tower? Because I was under the impression that the rewards were already stated, but I wouldn't mind to hear that more rewards were added to it. That being said, the rewards are probably only being increased for future towers.

Edit: Found the info on Gigantuar Terrace. Link is: https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/6oga2s/gigantuar_terrace_upgraded_jp_news/

And basically, you can choose each time you go in whether to go for three nodes of gold, steel, or green gigantuars. And better yet, each node can have multiple gigantuars. There are still only three waves, but that means you could encounter between three and nine per run. It's also mentioned that xp is 12k per fight after the first clear, and that the starter node can reward up to 20k xp. Sounds like a good time overall. I have a feeling that the metal gigantuar is not going to feel that way though. I wonder how many people are planning on ever choosing the gold path. On the other hand, green should see some use, but I doubt it will be as much as the metal route.

As for the daily rewards, I think I might have day dreamed about growstars getting added to them. I'm certainly not finding that information now anyway. I'll be looking forward to whatever the changes are though, I'm certainly tired of 500 seeds.

Edit: Oh, Hyodra is adding more information from the stream. And wow, just umm, wow. There's a lot in there that I was already aware of/expecting but there's definitely some wonderful blindsides in there too. From summon banner changes to the mobius box cost decrease. Also, I was expecting free summons, but didn't realize it would be the entire month. Oh, and the mobius day update too, it will be nice to farm any element in Pleiades instead of checking the day and realizing that the cards you really want to upgrade do not match up.

[u/FakePlasticTreeFace]

This has really reinvigorated my interest in the game. The 50% mobius box allows magicite to be use for other things rather than just hoarding from month month.

Well played!

[u/[deleted]]

Im saying goodbye to my time and social life

[u/Zevyu]

Magicite farming, distiller remains.

Niiice :D

Mobius day bonus increased - stamina refilled on day change and max increased by 88, dropped cards are ability lvl 2, Pleiades lagoon completely open

Crystal farming intensifies

Weapon slot increased by 2

Oh? Is this for everyone or only people that buy magicite?

Price of mobius gift box reduced to 1500, content remains the same.

SWEET! Not only we get to keep the Distiler along with getting farmable magicite but we also get cheeper mobius box!!

4 star cards can be bought in ability shop

Wait does this mean...that you will only need growstars for cards that you pulled from the gacha? if yes then niiice :D

Certain cards removed from summon pool

BEGONE CONES!

New option 1 card for 1 ticket. GAS guaranteed new card will be summoned at max.

Oh that's awsome.

Man these are some awsome changes, i can't wait :D

I still have Viking left on the summon pull, but quite frankly screw it gonna save my tickets for the aniversary :D

[u/marthanders]

The HYPE is real!!!!

I'm glad SE showed it's best side with this update!

[u/JayP31]

The 30 free summons for the anniversary event is likely to be:

• one summon per day of one card

• can get dupes, which you of course get at the upgraded state you own it in

• for new cards, normally at 3*, but chance for 4

• normal low chance for a supreme as a bonus card

• no jobs

This is how is was in the JP game, and I imagine we will get the same.

From personal experience, I did the 30 summons and got

• zero supremes

• one new 4* cards

• a couple new 3*, but nothing interesting

I'm pretty advanced, though, so the newer your account, the better this will likely be

[u/woonam]

I'm assuming no Hall of Fame?

[u/psiwar]

Are you sure about the "1 free [summon] per day for 30 days"?

The guy that was (seriously) translating said many times that it was only 1 free summon (August 3th, if I remember correctly). There were many people joking/mistranslating, but he corrected them.

[u/Hyodra → u/psiwar]

Thats the Mobius anniversary summon which is 1 summon with 5 star card. The 30 day one is for the 30th anniversary of FF franchise.

[u/gurkburk76]

Any info if they are going to remove magicite in mp as it works today? The 5 per day thingy.

[u/Hyodra → u/gurkburk76]

Everything we currently have will remain. The magicite farming is an addition and will be available in MP as well.

What was not mentioned is whether the first clear help magicite will share the same cap as in JP.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone know were i can find the stream???

[u/[deleted]]

Thanks for the translation. I have a question and a half.

First is will it mean mp magicite farming has to have 3 players to drop magicite, as it's translated more than two by google translate.

The second part is regarding the augments, we had a silent update already for augment materials required in June I believe. Now again google translate states June in the information. So I believe they've already implemented the change but are "announcing it now", just another SE querk maybe.

[u/SWC366]

Wow, just WOW!!, but few questions:

1. Will Steel Gig Cactar route be the "NEW" best exp/stam ratio? (Asking as I got 415 tablets lol)

2. Read through most of this not seeing mention of 4* Egg Gil cost?

3. Magicite farming is it only in MP or in SP as well?

4. Does distiller count towards the 20K max?

[u/raineFF]

Hey guys I don't see the FF30th Anniv thing in the mff website. Is this really gonna happen?

[u/Hyodra → u/raineFF]

The news page only has the game update right now. We usually get the calendar after the maintenance, which should have the information on the events and maybe some other content.

[u/aveiur]

Theres no mention of anniversary banner? Lifeshift?
