    I haven't figured out what this term means. They have used it in several different contexts.

    Agito is more or less a messiah or savior type person.

    there's no other way you can really explain it w/o spoiling like... the entire third act and second playthrough.

    I'm jonesing for X|X-2 on PS4. Pre-ordered for the physical CE.

    I'm honestly not looking forward to trying to 100% X-2 since a decade ago, that required using both the physical guide and cross-referencing with GameFAQ's walkthroughs, but I'm prepared to play through X again, remixed soundtrack and all.

    (minus dodging lightning strikes for Lulu's ultimate weapon, that is seriously the worst)

    Looking forward to a similar thing in XV.

    No. I'm on chapter 5 I think. Maybe chapter 6.
    I just got back to Rubrum after being framed for the assassination of the Queen.

    That's fine. I wasn't looking for a spoiler. I just didn't really understand even a basic meaning. So thank you for the responses. Knowing it means some sort of messiah is better than not knowing anything at all.

    Poking around on the FFRK reddit, someone posted a thread recommending users do this:

    Settings > About Device / Phone > Build Number
    Tap Build Number section until countdown is done - enabled Developer Options
    Settings > Developer Options > Force GPU Rendering - enable
    Restart apps
    Enjoy a faster phone - more noticeable on games / image heavy apps

    Is this legit? Because the game is pretty sluggish.

    Just tried this and it does seem legit. It speeds up the scrolling that was so damned sluggish before. Everything feels much more responsive.

    Beware however, that will drain your phone's battery even faster. And Record Keeper isn't exactly one for restraint when it comes to suckling from that electric teat.

    60 Stamina now means I can run Hard mode of the Gil dungeon twice before setting it aside. Got enough to combine my two Maneaters (50,000 just for this!) into a 5* and upgrade it to 20/20. I didn't know the background of the item changed according to stars, I thought it denoted natural 5* or above. Also pumped up the 4* Light Staff and Light Rod you get from elites.

    Next on the list is the Air Knife, Sledgehammer, and come tomorrow I have Genji Armor and Genji Shield to boost. Whoever wears either is borderline invincible from what I've seen.

    Is there even a chance of getting 4 or 5 star items out of the daily free relic draw? All I've ever gotten is crap. Am I wasting my time even trying?

    There's people on Reddit who've gotten 5* items from the free draw, so it's definitely possible just very rare.

  • LucascraftLucascraft Registered User regular
    Is Minwu ever available as a character, either through missions or events? I would expect him to be among the most badass white mage type characters.

  • EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    Nope. At least, not so far. Gordon is , but not Minwu. Injustice.

    Yeah, I picked up Josef from one of the paintings. He's still level 1. Likely to never be used. I've played FFII all the way through. I remember that Josef was a character, and I even remember that he dies, but I don't remember what his skills are, or any other specifics.

    He's a monk, basically. He punches things.

    I think he also may have the highest or second highest attack stat in the game.

    Second, if I recall. In the Japanese version, even.

    Are we talking about his stat in II or RK?

    does it?
  • EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    In RK, he's the second strongest.

    In II, that's a misleading question since anyone can be anything. But he does start with high strength and Unarmed levels.

    Yes, but it's pretty low.
    Worth doing anyway since it takes five seconds and might get you something; worst comes to worst you get upgrade fodder.

    Got a Healing Grimoire from my first 11 for 10 relic draw and I just couldn't care less.

    Is anyone even using Tyro? He just seems like such a boring character compared to the other options.

    Tyro becomes super important once the difficulty ramps up.

    Well that's amusing. Optimize now places Terra on my team -- Sephiroth, Tidus, Cloud, Tyro, and Terra. Terra is geared as a pure Black Mage in the back row. I thought Optimize only gave you your top 5 Physical DPS characters.

    Wonder if it will add Aerith when I get that far.

    When is the FFVII Steam port coming to PS4? That's a reason to own a PS4. Playing a port of a port.

    They haven't acknowledged its existence since the announcement, so who knows if it's even still happening.

    If I had to guess, they're saving its release date for another public event (maybe E3) in an attempt to either build it up as something bigger than it is, or to make an existing thing look better.

    Basically use FFVII's mere existence to artificially enhance the momentum of their press event while quietly revealing its release date for PS4 (or even doing a "and you can download it...right now!" stunt). I don't see them just dumping it on the PS Store without any fanfare.

    I'd like to think maybe they're also taking the extra time to re-translate it, but....ehhhh.

    Can we try and put a retail price tag on Record Keeper?

    I was talking about all the stuff released so far with a co-worker and then showed him a list of stuff that is out for the Japanese version and he was surprised it doesn't cost a thing.

    Granted he is pretty far removed from video games but it got me thinking what cost people would be willing to pay just to have everything unlocked and you could play through the content.

    does it?

    Technically, $0. You can get mythril through playing, although not an infinite amount, and relics through the daily (later tri-daily) freebies.

    At absolute most I might pay $5 for it. At say, $.99, I'd impulse buy it. Granted, I don't think much of it as a game, but it could be a reasonable time waster without the f2p stuff.

    No idea. Likely it would be redone somewhat, a-la Puzzle and Dragons Z. Likely the same as any full price 3DS title -- $50? I would definitely pay for a console version of FF Dimensions, and I love the FFRK concept and think it would make a great 3DS game, to boot.

    Ok, my first 11 draw. I've gotten a number of decent draws so far, particularly a Danjuro (my only 5*) and a Maneater (my very first draw). Nice to have some "universal" hard hitters. Nothing yet for a specific character except a couple of 4* that give bonus limit breaks (whatever they're called) to the basic classes.

    So, what do I get?
    Flametongue - 3
    Falchion - 3 (I already have a Falc + and a spare, can I make Falc +++?, would I want to?)
    Diamond Knuckle - 3
    Punisher - 3
    Golem Staff - 3
    Diamond Mace - 3
    Knight Armor - 3
    Crystal Sword - 4
    Thornlet - 4
    Black Robe - 4
    Crystal Bangle - 4

    I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get a 5 drop, but I needed more armor and sword options, so that's good. On first glance, the thornlet looks like it has amazing stats for a back line mage/fighter.

    Careful. Make sure that the Thornlet doesn't have its FFV effect of constantly draining your HP.

    Still $0 for me. It would need to be reworked so much to turn into something actually worth money. It's a cell phone game and it feels like a cell phone game.
