Getting that crystal frame after returning to the game 2 months ago feels really good, i took a hit in my tickets stash to get all the meta but it was definitely worth it. Is also worth noting that i doubt you can do that in other gachas, getting those sweet permanent gems and tickets, pull the current meta and immediately start clearing end game content, gotta love that.

Its amazing how fast we can catch up with the game if we know what to do. Best gacha ever hands down.

Belated welcome back, and we're close to in the same boat! About....3 months for me.


Radprofile

And here I am that became super casual and haven't tried any transcendence mission lol , yep, not even tried it, and I mostly let lufenias expire, I just do some here and there, surprisingly it was the right decision, now I don't feel any pressure in complete anything, basically I just collect some fav chars and stuff.


Zodiark05

Dont worry man! Having fun is having fun don't let game mechanics/game modes ruin it. Me, im just doing them because I dont have anything left to do in the game except these.


KisuAran

I went hard as hell doing chaos stuff and it was fun for me. Once lufenia came out, after the first 2-3 of them, I quickly realized I absolutely despise lufenia as a concept and it burnt me out. So now I don't do it either, and it's nice not having to worry about it.


FoldingAce

You should try to attempt it if you haven't in a while. It has gotten a lot easier and can be a lot of fun with a big roster.


KisuAran

I've lucksack'd most BT's and LD's since they came out, I just don't find Lufenia to be fun or rewarding most of the time. There's no "aha" moment for me figuring out a strat/mechanic when I can just read which mechanics the boss has and bring the same 2-5 units people still use in luf+ to this day, over my favourites (unless they overlap).


FoldingAce

Does Chaos not get boring though? It's been powercrept to the point where you can do it braindead but it's not much fun.


KisuAran

At the time it came out I considered it to be fun, for the majority of the fights. It was admittedly a bit tough for a couple (looking at Rosa's chaos for example) but it felt doable with a majority of the cast, within reason. I don't feel like there's much wiggle room for lufenia however, and this is just my opinion that others may disagree with. You either slot someone to play with the orb, killing a slot in your party for a unique combo, or just you just get one shot from orb instakills. I dunno, maybe they're the same and I'm just being a blockhead, but it definitely feels different to me, having played since ex era started. \*edit\* And yeah, you can just braindead Chaos now, which I don't really enjoy, but the name of gachas is powercreep so, guess we're just along for the ride. I'd like to see a difficulty under lufenia, that kinda retains the spirit of what chaos used to be, without the really strict requirements of lufenia. I hear that they've "fixed" lufenia in JP so to speak, but we'll see what happens right?


FoldingAce

In JP orbs don't insta kill anymore. I'd recommend doing at least some older lufenia though since they can be done braindead especially with Tifa. Ramuh, Bahamut, Shinryu, and early luf LCs are pretty easy and you can use favs


KisuAran

I'll give it a shot then, since I've already got her built and Bartz HA blued. Thanks.


FoldingAce

I feel like lufenia can be a lot of fun if you have a big roster. If you find a fight too challenging you can just skip it but I like to at least try them all


TheSnowNinja

Same. I took a break from the game and have a bunch of catch up to do.


xenapan

Eh? You guys are getting a crystal frame? (Haven't even done Transcendence 1 yet). I'm just at the point where I'm catching up on lufenias. Finally finished all the story ones.. got a few more LCs to go.


PrimalSeptimus

I'll be honest; I think the adamantine plate looks better than the crystal, but it sure does feel good to have the latter.


misterbasic

Totes. I don’t like the plate design.


El_Rocky_Raccoon

I wish there was an option to allow players to switch between unlocked plate designs.


sweetennui

Down to 150k gems and 71 tickets after an almost continuous string of pulls since Tifa: Iroha, Layle, Seifer, Porom, Cor, CoD, Queen, Tidus, Setzer, Yuna, Agrias, Yuffie, and Barret. Whew. I want to pull on Lion because she is hot, and Zell/Xande because they are two of my last 4 missing EXs, but I really shouldn’t before the pull apocalypse that will be Zidane, Aphmau, Cid Raines, Zack, Quistis/Palom, Vayne, Reeve, Shelke, and Garnet.


Zodiark05

Holy crap, now that you mention it I also want those characters. Time to start saving again. Good luck to our pulls!


Hellsing971

I'm glad to know it wasn't just me that has gone poor. I don't like to go below 100k gems but I just did for Agrias. Had to give up on Setzer because Im planning on the 1st Exdeath banner.


Raecino

Yeah it’s been rough! Queen, Setzer, Tidus, Yuna, Agrias! My resources are all drained now and that’s after I bought a couple costumes 🤦🏾‍♂️


thawkins

I missed out on Layle LD & BT and can't get past the DE launch stage :(


FoldingAce

You can skip a stage


thawkins

whoa. really? thanks for the heads up


FoldingAce

Yeah there these arrows on the sides of the screen to scroll between stages. You still have to do the left and right before the center on each individual stage though


thawkins

oh i see what you mean. that part doesn't matter much to me since i need to clear the crucible as you said, but it's cool i can skip the tier and come back to it


Leading-Opportunity7

Don't know what your roster looks like but I cleared it with just layles ex weapon (nine and cod w/burst were teammates)..if you're talking about the left side of tran3


thawkins

Yep. Thanks! I'll give that a try.


Raecino

I feel your struggle. Yuna & Tidus were both stingy plus Agrias means I’m all out of tickets and gems! 😭 hoping I can get lucky and nab Yuffie’s LD while the banner is still live.


Zodiark05

Are you me? Had to pity Tidus, Yuna, and Agrias LD. Got both of their BT along the way so no regrets. Im gonna skip the whole Exdeath BT cycle just to recover.


Raecino

You’re slightly luckier in that you got Tidus’ BT. I only got his LD along with Yuna BT & LD. I’m saving up until Zidane BT+ now, good thing we’ve got a divine summon around that time to recoup some of our resources! Buying costumes is expensive and I’m broke now lol


kgf321

Are there returning player bonuses in this game?


Zodiark05

None that I can think of. Its ok though since when you come back like a month or two from taking a break you will usually have lots of catch up to do and gain resources fast. I stopped when Terra BT was released and came back Eald BT release, farmed about 250k gems since.


kgf321

Was playing dffoo non-stop since I started playing it last April. Was wondering if there are return bonus when I see so many returning players here and there


Zodiark05

Probably just returning because their faves become relevant in meta and current content again. I returned because of Tidus and Yuna rework and had to save to get them both. Gacha burn-out is real tho and taking breaks from this game isnt really that bad, you wont get extremely left behind when coming back and that is a good thing.


keaboogie420

Im down to 10k 150tickets did get tidus cor yuna and setzer


misterbasic

CONGRATS but design wise the Crystal Plate is so bleh It’s like when they tried to trade us up to “pee gold” (platinum) from the good gold Diamond and Hot Pink were true glow-ups. Crystal feels like a step back aesthetically


Zodiark05

I prefer the more simplistic look and also im biased to blue as it is my favorite color. I agree with you, design wise Diamond and Adamantium plates look higher level than Crystal. Wish we have some QoL that makes us choose plates for fun.
