Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius adds Ariana Grande

Gematsu link. We had a thread for the announcement but now we have more.

iOS and Android game Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius will add acclaimed recording artist and actress Ariana Grande as a playable character via a limited-time in-game event, which will be detailed in mid-January.

As part of the collaboration, Grande’s song “Touch It” will be arranged as a Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius-style remix.

Square Enix also announced that Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius has surpassed nine million downloads outside of Japan. To celebrate the milestone, players will receive a significant boost in daily log-in bonuses for a limited time.

The remix.

Im glad resources are being put into important stuff like this RE: XV.

Are you being serious here or are you being an ironic GAF poster its hard to tell here.

In case you're being serious FFBE is handled by an entirely different company. Its the same dudes that do Brave Frontier, which FFBE is a clone of.
 
Can I beat this game in one sitting or is it full of time meters and shit?

Time meters. It's a bit weird though since from what I played it has a town you can freely travel around but to what end I've no idea. Though in honesty I didn't play it for too long since there's so many menu's I got completely and utterly confused. Like most F2P mobile games though you have a limit on how much you can play.

The game has metered energy, which you get like 280 points in refresh every day. But you only get to store so much at low levels. As long as you take it easy and dont try to burn through everything then you can play f2p rather comfortably, the only real big fault being the TM grinds which really is horrible.

A strong friend unit will carry you through all of the games story. The only things that require more than that are elite events and the optional boss fights. If you want to start playing it then do the risemara (reset marathon) to get yourself a strong starting unit, just like in every other japanese gacha game.

I wonder if they will make her a Gacha char or an event char

A gacha character makes the most sense economically for Gumi but the PR would be horrible. I'm hoping its an event reward and that the unit itself is strong enough to actually be useful. Competing with overpowered units and not having a particular niche would make for a pretty bad publicity character.

Like all mobile games, it is a daily endeavor. I actually enjoy it quite a bit, and we have a great support community here at GAF for the game

Watching the video, it sounds like an event reward like maxwell, giving this char for free in an event and putting the orlandu banner on, should make them a lot of $$$

Actually kinda enjoyed what I heard of the song in the background of the video. This collab certainly is something different.

I'm going to be super pissed if they permanently skip over the Secret of Mana, FF Type 0, and other collabs though and just give us this.

They won't skip the Type-0 one, but don't expect the Secret of Mana/Dragon Quest ones.

They've already skipped the type 0 banners and they'd seriously disappoint people if they decide to bring them up right now, when the next banner adds one of the strongest units in the game.

They haven't skipped them they just haven't done them yet. We already have datamined Global Exclusive abilites that are tied to Ace and one of the other characters from the main game. They are clearly coming it might be different however.
 
This is one of those weird collaborations where I'd would love to have been a fly on the wall to see the meetings and decisions that went into making this a reality

Dangerous Ariana is because her bunny outfit is used in her "Dangerous" era for the Dangerous Woman song or whatever. Something like that. Which totally means we well get multiple Ariana's with different outfits. lol
