Had gathered up about 30 mithril. Decided to try out some relic pulls. I kinda wanted to get that bow for Fran, so I thought what the hell. I could do two 3 pulls. First was all 3 star shit. Second was both her bow and gladius.
My dudes are still like level 18. So this is going to be a little bit absurd.
Good thing its the equipment upgrade daily dungeon today.
Just started my first Fiesta of the year. Running a simple natural run on FFVa to start things off. If this run goes quickly I'll probably go right into a run on the super famicom version next, or maybe try out a chaos run on FFVa.
Just remember to save all those useless 3* items from your pulls, even if you don't upgrade them now, because eventually you will get doubles and triples of them, and 3++ items are quite respectable with Relic Synergy.
Well, not good...but better! Counter is fantastic on Berserkers, Axes aren't bad on Monks! HP +30% is great no matter what!
Yeah, at this point I'm just hoping I get Samurai or some shit so I can breeze through this run right into the next one. My one saving grace is that I can break rods freely until Earth.
It blows my fucking mind that SE reversed their fortunes by fixing FF XIV and making GOOD mobile games. They're not completely there yet but man...those two things fixing the finances?!?

Running into some problems with FFII on PS3, particularly freezing and glitching out at odd points. The disc is fine so I'm assuming it's the PS3's attempt at emulation shitting the bed for some reason.
Ugh. Now to try and dig out my PS2 or PS1 and try/start again.

Well when successful, those are two of the most profitable markets in the world. Not a shocker when you put it that way.

People look at the Remake announcement and think "Man, Square must be DESPERATE".
But knowing full-well how they've turned FFXIV into a success while also making a killing on mobile only says the opposite.

They did suck . Then all the sudden the opposite happened. Now ff14 and rk are some of the best things they have done in years. If ff14 had 4 mil subs I think before hw, that's enough success to drive some real profits. And a good mobile game can be really inexpensive to make but pull huuuuuuge profits from those whales.

As I recall SE said that within the first 6-8 months of FFXIV:ARR's release they made back enough money to cover the development of the original FFXIV and by the end of their first year they made enough to cover ARR's development.
FFXIV is SE's Golden Goose currently and in a bizarrely smart move for a major corporation they've given YoshiP (who is both Director and Producer) carte blanche and are about as hands off as a company can be with one of their own products.

I really hope they put him at the head of FF16 for good measure.
Hands off yet completely all hands on. Remember that ARR's development absolutely slowed down their internal development for around two years. The real difference is that they tried to cheap out hard with the original XIV release and rush its development.

If they're really smart, they'll have the people behind the Hildibrand quests write the humorous segments of the FFVII Remake.
If anyone can pull off Wall Market in 2017, it would be the people behind Hildy. It's some of the funniest, most charming stuff ever seen in an RPG.
Eh, I wouldn't say they were cheap with FFXIV's development. Just incredibly poorly managed. Remember the vase with as many polys as the playable characters.
I thought someone eventually proved that they outsourced a ton of the game to some shady ass chinese company?
I wouldn't be opposed to the notion that they both tried to cheap out on it, and also mismanaged the parts of it with hilarious excesses. Really, they had to fuck up the game in several different ways all at the same time to get it as bad as it turned out.
Anyways, my fire job in this fiesta run is Ranger. At this point I am praying for Samurai as my Earth job so I can just gil toss my way through the game, because natural Monk/Zerker/Ranger is gonna be tedious as hell.
Well....I got TO Exdeath. Not sure what it'll take to beat him with Knight/Thief/Black Mage/Berserker
Thief with Black, Black with Artful Dodger, Berzerker with Artful Dodger, Knight with Artful Dodger.
Equip everyone with Flame Rings, use Firaga to heal, nuke everything but the back piece, starting with the Grand Cross using segment, summon Odin with the Magic Lamp with the back piece is the only thing left.

Hmmm...don't think so. It isn't like that on iOS.
Title 1: photo-realism, RPG, worldwide, Unreal Engine 4, physics-based rendering
Title 2: open world
Title 3: virtual reality
Title 1 seems to really fit with the rumors that they're working on FFVII Remake.

has anyone made a list of good farmable stuff to fill in the gaps we inevitably have from random pulls?
Yes! Right here.

Back to the minor leagues with me.
My natural run started Monk -> Berserker. Gonna be a boring one...

Watch me get Dancer to balance this out.
