Mobile Game Monday

[seventhe]

i am absolutely and completely nicking an idea from lassarina and am going to attempt to create a new series: Mobile Game Mondays! I love mobile games, I am addicted to mobile games, they take up a lot of my gaming time and provide a lot of entertainment and general stress relief / distraction for me. let's make them a feature of my life rather than a bug and have some fun discussion!

right now i have 5 games on my phone i would like to be playing, but really only have time to maintain 3: Final Fantasy Record Keeper, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, and Love Nikki. I have FF Dissidia Opera Omnia and Mobius FF on my phone as well, but don't have the time to play those as much at all if I want to keep up with my main three. the thing about mobile games - that is the draw as well as the catch - is dailies: daily logins for rewards, completion of X things, etc. that keeps the player coming back to the game every day. I can't maintain dailies on 5 games, so Mobius and DOO I will end up playing at my own speed at some point for the story only.

FFRK
FFRK is my main jam, although I've recently lost some speed on it due to me dumping time into FFBE. FFRK remains the game I'm the best at and the game that's my favorite to play (i'm a week1 player), so it's no surprise that I'm sitting at the peak of the current endgame. My goals for May/June are pretty hard ones:
- farm all 3* magicites at least twice (i am 3/8 on this)
- work on sub-30 for the 3* magicites (i am only 1/8 on this)
- beat at least one 4* magicite (i've done this - Midgarsormr had nothing to say against my extremely overpowered Fujin and Edge)
- clear out at least 50% of the Torments
- Crystal Tower completion
- Mote Dive Orlandeau and two other guys i have forgotten

As you can see, it's quite a list. I've recently lucked into some real superpower on relics (Orlandeau USB, Cinque USB, Rem BSB, Dorgann USB) that may end up changing my ability honing strategy if I choose to roll with them. I think I'm kind of in overanalysis paralysis with the game rn because of that -- time to focus. Today during breaks and after work I want to clear the Crystal Tower before it expires.

I really need to start working on Torments because apparently they are expiring in July -- but ugh, Torments. of all the things i don't understand about this game, I can wipe the floor with a 4 star magicite but Torments are frigging hard for me. what. don't look at me like that man. don't.

FFBE
so FFBE and I have a mixed and sordid history; i've been playing for a long time, almost as long as FFRK, but my interest really waxes and wanes which puts me at a weird point - definitely behind the current meta, but definitely not newbie level either. the last month or so i've really been back into it, grinding raids and events as well as finally leveling up my espers and making progress in story (where all that delicious lapis is hiding).

it helps because i've pulled some fun units and gotten some good stuff recently. i think this wave of interest started during the FFX event, where i was lucky enough to get Yuna and Lulu both; this made for some great event farming not just because i had the high bonus units, but because with an appropriate friend they were able to ride the event by themselves, rather than needing a carry unit (which is always more fun). I landed all of the Dragon Quest characters except Liquid Metal Slime just from random pulls, so I harvested like mad on that event and now have their awesome TMs to farm. The last two raids have been easy for me as well which has been fun for collecting raid drops.

In addition to Lulu and Yuna, I've also obtained Mystea, Cagnazzo, Wilhelm, Fryevia, and a second Ashe (for Ashe chaining). I also snagged Olive's TMR gun, making her a powerhouse, and Emperor's TMR rod (although it will likely go on an Ashe). I enhanced Ramza's buff song, I enhanced Xon for gils and drops, I've maxed out Frye and Cag at L100... but there's still so much to do...

Olive has been carrying me through most events by brute force, with her badass gun, all her ATK buffs, and Heavy Arms enhanced to +2. However, from what I've read Fryevia is one hell of a damage dealer and is likely to become my go-to - once I farm appropriate equipment and TMRs for her. So now I'm sitting on 3 million gil and some crysts, wondering whether I want to spend it further enhancing Olive for immediate benefit or investing in Fry for future benefit. obviously the answer is both, but ffs, farming in this game is such a chore. ugh send help!

goals this month involve leveling most of my good new pulls, pulling the trigger on some enhancements, and doing a lot with the half-priced story stamina to get some sweet ass lapis.

i'm out of time at work to post about Love Nikki - but that can be in a comment or in next week's post.

What's on your mobile? What are you enjoying? If you play RK, what was your most recent awesome relic pull, and what's your goal for the next week? if you play BE, any advice for my poor enhancement team?

there two types of hell suits-- the event hell suits which takes upwards of about 6K DIAMONDS and sometimes they are ranked, meaning if you don't get in the top 12 percent of big diamond spenders, you won't get the suit.

Then there are the crafting Hell Suits, which are pretty much things like Starsea and Marionette Grice, they usually take several evolved pieces of Princess gear to complete. I am on working on Stunning Beauty, which is a Cloud outfit and which will probably take me until the end of July to do
