Mistwalker/Hironobu Sakaguchi's Terra Battle |OT| Season 2 has been unleashed!

No it's not. This is 100% not the case. Early on, along with the Matsuno World stuff which were datamined, an "Endless Tower" quest was datamined. It's totally different from the 8-bit stuff we have now. Which means if there is no more Endless Quest, Mistwalker changed their minds somewhere along the way.
Well, it was in the news, so not sure if this is it or not:
The monsters are back and ready to rumble! From 8/25, 5:00PM to 9/1, 4:59PM (PDT), [8-Bit Orbling Strikes Back] will be available at the Arena.

The 8-Bit Orbling was drawn by Kazuko Shibuya (Square Enix). This pixel artist is known for her work on the legendary RPG series, Final Fantasy! We hope you enjoy her art as you battle through this quest!
And this 8-Bit Orbling Strikes Back quest series are supervised by Yoshinori Kitase (Square Enix) and implemented by Download Starter Campaign's 2.6M downloads promise.
 
So I've been behind, way behind on endgame for a while. I'm about 1/4th maxed out on the coin pulls from the latest coin creeps fest this week, I spammed it non stop, but I'm missing a lot of important gimmick guys for breaking into these new fights.

I managed to get the O companions for everyone but Suoh last go around, but I won't be able to clear the 8 bit ones enough. The golem is way too hard without some kind of twister mitigation.

I kinda feel like I just need to grind up some more ^'s to get by.

My Z's are as follows:
Gatz ^
Koko ^
Bonna ^
A'misandra ^
Seiryu
Piz'fer ^
Bahamut ^
Lucia ^

SS:
Sheena
Gugba
Korin ^
Koko
Gaiga
Suoh
Camellia
Amina
A'misandra
Amimari
Jennish
Zerro
Lucia
Eileen ^

I don't understand how luck works. I have over 80 combined luck between a C rank coin mook and my main farming party and I don't see the 80 drops. I was hoping it would make pig snouts easier to farm. I really want to get Camillia's recode since I got her O companion.

Any recommendations on what to focus on? I've cleared up through chapter 35. Shinen and Mutoh seem impossible. New Bahamut etc descends are too hard for me / I don't know the trick (I made it to leviathan but he one shots my guys). Dragon kings rely too much on gimmicks I don't have accessible.
 
I managed to kill enough golem to get the snaip o and some temporal helices to recode him later.

8-bit spinetrich is kind of a joke if you are sturdy enough to completely ignore the mechanics and zerg him.

I'm going with
Bonna ^ - 90
Snaip - 87 (has genji bow)
Koko ^ - 71 (has rune)
Piz'fer ^ - 90 (has moogle) - Bringing him for the metal runners.
Grace - (has genji shield)
A'misandra ^ - 90 (has stone shield)

Once I get a few vertical pincers in to charge up the def down from grace and the atk up on snaip he just starts to crumple. Everyone is strong enough to take a hit or 2.
 
Final 8-bit monster is up.

This means last one before nearing 4.3.0.
They said they're going to announce a new collab for that patch as well.

Also, Amina recode is finally available for those who had her since forever.

On the subject of Amina, what's everyone doing to farm XP to get guys to recode levels? I've got an A'misandra ^ but I wouldn't mind a second Z healer for when the game hates lizardfolk.
 
At this point, I just wait for MZ7 to appear in arena to do all my exp farm.
It should be up next Monday, so get metal tickets if you're missing some.

Sitting on 42 metal tickets atm.

I really need another coin creep / xp bonus for companion campaign. I messed up on the last one and didnt realize the 3x xp bonus was only when combining same companions, so all my metals were useless. Been building up a stash again.

Man, I saw the event notice just after waking up and the art style made me think it was a Bravely Default collab.

Okay, so the Little Noah collaboration event is going to be a 5 week thing. So that's all of October... Hope we still get a new story chapter too at least.

There are 4 weeks of different battles, and all of them will be unlocked on the 5th week. Pretty similar to the Revenge Events.

The first week event will allow us to get Little Noah as a drop as well as the Samatha and Rikken Companions if a condition is met.

The second week event will still have capture and companion drops, but we'll also be able to get the job2 item, as well as the item required for recode.

The third week event will have have capture and companion drops, the job3 item, as well as monsters required for the recode.

The fourth week event will have possible drops for everything from before.

All the four events are battles against raid boss monsters from Little Noah.
 
Even Little Noah game is getting the TB collab. Pretty cute.

Chapter 37 for sure.
It was mentioned for 4.3.0 in the Hiso stream.

Luck fixes and the 2 new co-op Eidolon fights will probably be for the next one.
 
So part 1 of Noah is a pretty basic fight.
If you don't mind grinding a bit though, the rewards from event are pretty damn good.

The Yukken doll sells for 50k coins(!), or can be fused for a crazy 300k exp to companions.
Since you can only have two in the inventory at any time, sell/fuse them before you start battle so they can drop again.

The Hard mode stage also rewards ~500 animata items.
You can clear this week's Trading Post in mere days.

Also, how to easily get Rune companion this weekend:
1. Get Gungnir from Trading Post
2. Max level Gungnir using Yukken dolls
3. Run 10-10 for 5 Gungnir material (since it'll be double drop day)
4. Evolve Gungnir to Rune
5. Max level Rune with Yukken dolls
6. Boom! Free Petaspear skill

 
I hope they do pig snouts on one of these events so I can finally upgrade camilla and suoh. 550 ish per kill with an occasional 400+ bonus drops is awesome.

I still can't believe they made it this easy to get coins AND trading post items...and for a full 5 weeks. :D

I can't believe it's actually fun and isn't loaded with bullshit traps in the environment! The phys/mag def/weakness alternation with the boss and how it flips whenever it dives is really clever too.

Ok, so when this game first came out I played it for like five minutes, then proceeded to delete and look down my nose at it like I did all mobile games at the time.

Since then I finally got off my high horse regarding mobile games, thanks largely to KHXU, FFRK/BE, and Dragon Blaze. Now I want to give this game another chance.

Still on the tutorial ATM, but any pointers for a brand spanking new player?

I'll quote myself from a few months back.
Very basic tips:

Always save energy for special 10 pulls "Pact of Truth" events that guarantees S+.
DO NOT USE "Pact of Fate" with energy.

Don't waste energy on "Companion of Truth" pulls (for now). 95% of Companions are useless. I'm mostly using ones from events, and upgraded others from coin "Companions of Fellowship" pulls.

Save coins at start for Job upgrades. Although you could spare a few to get some Companions from "Companions of Fellowship" early on.

Chapters 1-30 are beatable with what you have, but make sure to always run Metal Zones until you level cap your characters to limit. This is key to beating most stages.

Schedule for Metal Zones here and calendar for Monsters/Item bonus days here. (you probably won't bother with that one until you beat story and start farming)

What class is she?

I'm kinda disappointed all the recodes are not Z class. I just got her omicron companion and I'm going for more helices next.

S-class Sword. But the class doesn't matter. It's actually good because it means it's easier to level. Bahl is a powerhouse even for a B-class character. :p

My Bahl is underleveled but I do have snaip ^. Same idea right? I'm looking forward to grace recode but I'm not sure if I want to eat a perfectly good capped 100% boost grace.
 
They're both part of the crazy dps trinity (with Ma'curi).
Worth recoding for sure.

Grace I don't know. Depends on her new set of skills.
I'll probably leave her at 100% also.

her def downs are a staple in many of my setups, or have been anyway. Especially when combined with Snaip, etc.

A troubleshoot help please. I try to enter the game but it stays in the mistwalker logo screen and never enters the game.

I already tried to uninstall and install again, any tips on how to solve this ?

It's a common problem for some where it keeps "downloading" stuff apparently, sometimes very slowly for others.
Only for the first time you log-in though.

I've heard waiting on the logo screen over 10+ minutes for it to load can work.

If not, try tabbing the game (just go to your home screen) while on that white logo, and just wait a few minutes.

Next big song to replace "High Sky" intro.
Probably to be used on next collab event after Little Noah.
4U

Random art just because:

I like the new song, but still bummed out that they already replaced High Sky.

Trying to get back into the game a little now, after just logging in to get the rewards for months.

Holy shit, Gatz^ and Bahl^ on this week's event battle are AMAZING. I tried out a few different character combos. The dragonslayers are totally useless (recode when?!) despite this being a dragon battle. But Gatz^'s attack buff skill + Bahl^ + Odin^ are god-tier physical damage characters.

And yesssssssssssss pig stouts back for trading!
