Support NeoGAF

[Ginko-sensei]

I've been playing it for 2 days and I absolutely love it so far (I mean, compared to other mobile games).
The art is great, the music too and the gameplay is more awesome than I could have imagined.

Do we know if there will be events with increased drop rates in the tavern? (like the Godfests in PAD or 10+1 SR in Love Live)
I still haven't used any of my energies, I don't want to "waste" them.

 

[mjc]

I got one S on a reroll but I'm not sure if I should keep rerolling for an SS...hmmm

I beat that metal king asshole

 

[RockTurtle]

I've been hovering over the energy shop for the past 10 mins.

I have a personal promise to not cave into F2P antics or mobile traps. it's a matter of principle. but i also want to support mistwalker. what a conundrum i find myself in.

i think i'll just get the $10 option for 3 characters and 2 left over energy bars. a one time payment. I'll stick with whatever i get and anything bonus will have to come through regular gameplay. i won't let myself get dragged into the mobile pay business. but i still will support the game since i have been having fun with it. and it is well made.

man, sakaguchi knows how to tug my old ff playing strings!

Nice. I bet he gives loads of xp as well.

 

[jwhit28]

I'm on Chp 5-10 and want to continue on but it feels like such a waste to beat a chapter when I have full stamina. I guess I'll wait for Metal Zone to open back up.

This keeps getting asked, but it would be way too early for them to do anything like this.

There's a lack of characters overall if you check the entire list.

Download starter is progressing nicely... went from 120k to 270k since yesterday .

I wonder if they're gonna reach 2 millions, and if they'll really make a console RPG then, hmmm...

 

[Takuan]

I got an A and SS earlier today and started playing with them. Not a huge fan.

Too bad we can't trade, because I'm sure one of you guys would want the SS just for the art (I don't know her name but she's an arrow beastwoman chick).

If Mistwalker did not keep their promise it would hurt their rep badly. But if they get 2M, they should be able to affotd it baded on their monetization.

At what chapter do you unlock the next hunting ground?

I am in the same boat. I loathe most F2P games and mechanics but I just bought $4.99 worth of energy. Treating it as a one time payment for the game. Already have played 3-4 hrs and really enjoyed it so far so figured what the heck.

I wonder how many downloads are iOS users deleting and redownloading to reroll.

Oops, sorry if it had already been asked multiple times.
Hmm... I guess I'll save up for now, unless I feel like a better hero could help me progress. For now, it's going smoothly.

 

[Longsword]

I don't think those count, otherwise everyone would be no. 1 top download charts with hundreds of millions of downloads.

I believe they count device IDs for these.

EDIT: checked it. They indeed count User IDs, so one install per user even if it is on multiple devices within same ecosystem.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Man, I just got bodied in chapter 5 by those breath dragons that only have 1 turn until they act.

Haha happened to me as well, these mofos really start throwing all kinds of shit at you characters from this point on - poison, sleep, bombs etc.

Just entered chapter 6 and so far its been a really enjoyable and balanced experience. Lets see how it continues, i just hope i get another strong ice mage or spear unit soon.

Make sure you do the metal zone when you can. If you get higher level characters with more HP then can power through some of the aoe magic/poison vs having to be extra cautious.

SS on first buy

I'd think the Download Starter only counts unique iOS users. Or else their business model has no chance of working like they want.

 

[Azusa]

The last battle in Chapter 10 is hard. I can't kill that boss and I have tried 4 times already. His Devour Time skill is so annoying. He casts this on second turn and it lasts 4 turns, then he renews it. And when he has about 25-30% HP left he uses Turn Back Time with countdown (4 turns I think) and I have to nuke him before he casts it, but my party is almost wiped at that moment

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I've only gotten one S rank.

I like her skill though, she does an AOE thunder.

 

[Magusx]

What a good art style.

 

[forgrim]

so far the boss design has really gotten to me, its all very unique. most of aoes, but all of them seem to have something unique (calling adds every other turn so it becomes a test in time to kill them all, or kill the boss to stop the flow of mobs, the time boss, etc.)

i'm taking it slow tho, when does metal zone 2 open up (after what chapter?) all my characters are mid 20's now

 

[Barrage]

On my 3rd re-roll now because I got stuck on the last Chapter 4th Boss. Man, do I miss my dude with Ice AOE. . Also, looks like this re-roll train might have an end date. Read on Penny-Arcade's Terra Battle write-up if you download the game after November 3rd, the Healer is not guaranteed in your first two characters.

 

[SirKhalid]

After chapter 9.

yeah its in the in game notes too. honestly, as long as you get any SS/S character to start off with, you are already waaaaaay ahead of the pack. I believe a SS/S character has approximately 5% drop (i rerolled like 30 times, with 2 attempts at a time, and pulled a rikken, zerro, yukken, and amina). Decided to start the game with a zerro + daiyana (A Mage) and haven't had a terrible time in game (chapter 8)

edit: thanks sirkhalid, so i'll be unlocking it very very soon

 

[ErichWK]

This is the first f2p cell phone game that has hooked me. How many chapters are there. I am about to finish the fourth

I'd argue that class and skills matter way more than rank. My first SS character was a spear user with no active skills. It wasn't very fun to play and the character wasn't all too useful.

Later on in that playthrough I got a B rank character named Zenzoze that had an active skill that went off 80% of the time, that character was much more fun and useful to me.

Mages seem to still beat everything else though -- I'd suggest trying to roll a mage with area spells, doesn't matter if A, S or SS.

Lower rank characters actually level up faster and usually have similar skills.

 

[ErichWK]

I'm going to quote you on that too all my friends. Don't disappoint me

 

[jwhit28]

The coin battle music reminds me so much of Final Fantasy but I can't think of the song that it sounds similar to.

Just use this site to download the apk from Google play. Copy that url into the form and download it.

http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

Sadly, this doesn't seem to work for me.

Site says something about being out of "quota".
I installed the chrome extensions but it just says "Can't download this app".

 

[RDreamer]

Loving the game a ton and so is my girlfriend. The battle system feels so nice and perfect on a mobile touch screen. Perfect to pull out when you have a couple minutes. We're hoping co op happens!

I'm in chapter 4 and haven't felt the need to buy anything yet, so that's cool, though I might just to give em some money for my fun.

 

[SirKhalid]

Rank might only be about rarity. Right now, I don't feel like there is a big difference in power between SS and B.

I want Co-op too. We need 430K more downloads to get it. Better spread the word!

Higher ranks probably have better skills, SS also seem to level slower than B.

 

[Neo Dark]

It's there. Maybe your SS class is a bit under leveled? The higher the class, the more exp needed to get to the next level.

What's the strategy in chapter 6, stage 5 biss batte. These shitty little minions keeps respawning. Died 2 times, with the boss having still around a 1/5 of its Energy.

It's getting tougher.

I had two people attacking it with a healer going either side keeping them alive. It took a bit longer than other boss battles but it worked.

 

[meow]

where do you get metal tickets?

 

[cw_sasuke]

That might be it, i need to add a second healer - i had a D class healer i kicked out the team 3 chapters ago.

btw. This just made me realize how bad the experience would be if you would start the game without a healer class.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Hmmm does anyone remember which battle has the two bosses that regenerate?

I would say that a healerbis helpful more so from chapter 6 onwards. It's definitely good to start with one and get them levelled.

The boss/final battle music sounds a lot like J-E-N-O-V-A from VII. Always a good thing!

That's the spider boss, right?

I did the same strategy. The minions don't really deal any damage, just place your characters 1 tile away from the boss on either side and wait until the minions align up for the attack.

I quite like how inventive the boss battles are.

I'm currently in chapter 7, everything is fire/lava and my SS ice mage is tearing monsters apart, love it.

 

[Steiner_Zi]

Wow, the game is very good! I did not expect it! I'm sure gonna pay 5 or 10 euros, just for the sake of it.

 

[AwShucks]

Question. Is energy used for anything other than recruiting and regaining stamina? I'm in chap 5 and have five energy, wondering if I should just try to recruit.

 

[iavi]

This game just oozes polish.

The battles require WAY more depth than I thought they would initially. Love the presentation. And the OST is ridiculously good.

Go go go downloads

i'd say get a new character. unless you absolutely need to beat the chapter then and there,stamina can wait since it regens passively but energy doesnt
