Holy cow that's a lot of anniversary events.

Looks like I won't be playing anything else on my phone for a while.(Hate the new OS update though.)

Speaking of, I managed to finish the last Sairan area, which was where I got stuck on my old account, and did some single rolls for the idol gacha. I managed to get Idol Leia, and some slash type named Digrita. I should probably start selling characters now, nearly at the 50 limit.

Oh, and last I checked, I was in the 1600s for SA.

Well you got one of the idols at least, that's some pretty good luck.

And we're gonna get the first multi-Soul Arena in ages!

Even though its just two this time. And as much as I want a sexy 5* Milla for once, if Soul Arena goes with that 5* Sword of Swords Luke like its implying that entices me a bit as well.

Not to mention the Barbatos summon goes up early October. I hope he's spell type just to troll casuals

Yeah, I was surprised I got her, but that was dampened when I saw her LS. Still has good stats and some nice abilities. Plus her skill doubles attack for two different tile types, so that's nice.

So I was rearranging my teams a bit, and I'm wondering, are any type combinations good or bad?

I run a thrust/spell, thrust/shot, slash/spell, bash/spell, and thrust team(GE Reid is the leader), and was thinking of swapping one team out for a different team, like full spell, or shot/bash.(Not actual considerations, just examples.)

Rolled 3 times on the Idolmaster banner, got a big solid pile of waste.

Too many Millas in the anniversary stuff. I'm really not happy, Milla is... Well, I don't like her at all.

On more upbeat news, I'm almost at the end of Tales of Rebirth. If you're doing sidequests, don't go to Sulz again before you finish them or you'll permanently lose a city off the map.

I like Milla

As long as its not her ugly ass X2 costume at least.

I know what you mean. Milla was pretty shilled and had a weird lisp, though that never bothered me. Found it to be a in-character quirk.

Though it might have been unconscious identification with her. I was born with a mild hearing loss(basically just have trouble differentiating the b sound from d sound, etc) and that made it more difficult for me to understand others when I was younger, and thus I shied away from interacting with people. Also resulted in a slight lisp, since I tended to stay quiet and avoid talking. I viewed her lisp as something similar since she was raised as a god, not as a person, and never learned how to interact in a social environment.

I don't like how Xillia's plot and world bends over itself backwards to lick her ass, essentially.

Her design... It's okay. I don't like X1's outfit, actually. Especially her boots, they look like overstuffed winter gear and don't go with the rest of her Stripperiffic ensemble.

Ironically, Milla was made to be a stand-in for god, so it's not surprising the "world bends it self over backwards to lick her ass." Bow down to your God!!!evil grin

...Now I want to make an abridged series of Xilla with Milla as a self-centered megalomaniac who wants to take over the world.

The problem is she's not God at all, and yet there's still crap like wyverns bending for her for no reason.

Jude and Alvin losing 50 IQ points when she 'dies' also doesn't help.

I saw that. It was about time Jirard did it.

Although I am kinda disappointed he didn't mention the PS 2 or PC versions. Since the PS 2 version was where the PS 3 extras came from.

I also liked his comparison of Sheena to Ibuki too. Surprised the boobs didn't get a mention buuuuuut..

So SA ended. I'm pretty sure I was in the low 1500s, so I'm getting two of the 4* Sara. But I managed to get all the mana rewards.

I dunno where I am since I was at work from 7:00-2:00. I was hovering around 690 or so, but every time I left for a few hours I lost very few spots, only dropping into 710 or so. I dunno where I left off. Doubt I made top 800, but here's hoping from all those people who just gave up, and the rush only being for those above me.

So I did the Sky Full of Memories event, and I was like "I thought this was a mobile game, not a romance VN, not that I'm complaining."

Does anybody know what "difficulty" of the Sara quests are good for getting the 4* ones? Besides the highest difficulty ones, as I'm pretty sure I won't be able to clear those.

Edit: Okay something weird is happening in my game. My characters' elements are changing. But the thing is that their original element still shows up on their stats page. It's on the party arranging and when you're choosing the party to bring into a dungeon screens that the element is different And it's not a display error, as it even carries over into the dungeon.

It's not a random thing either, it's only happening to Abyss characters, and the new element is always Fire.

What the heck is going on?

That's part of the event. It even mentions it in the event brief. The more Abyss chars you have, the stronger they are. They'll also shift to Fire element for that event only due to the God Generals being Earth element

I'm gonna save stones for the 100% 5* Costume Guarantee gacha because HERO STONES SALE EEEEE

#10369: Oct 2nd 2016 at 10:24:43 AM

Oh, I thought that something like that might have been the case, but I figured that would only happen in the event dungeon, and the elements were still different when I tried a story dungeon, so I thought that wasn't the case.

Now I feel a bit foolish.

You were talking about Milla? Erm, well... God Mode Milla is with you for the first dungeon at least, whileas lvl 45 Super Jade only for ONE battle. It was nicer to at least taste the power of the Great Four. *hint* They are the key to winning Milla Route's exclusive boss *hint*. I am of the opinion that her Spirit costume should have been her Xillia 2 default (now that she IS sorta-godly) but it's the most... say, innapropiate to wear around people.

We have had a busy seven days last week. Finished XIII-2 and jumped straight to Lightning Returns. My partner thought of 2 as a mere stopgap for the third game and anticipating GOOD action based RPG. Then he started playing and well:

Friend: What sort of sh*t is this? Where is the dodge roll button? Where is the Free Run button? Where is the f*cking CURE spell? You have to equip the Guard and Attack commands? I only have FIVE slots for potions? I run out of ATB too fast! Whaaat?! The first day is ending already?! (Well, I understand this one: you only play the last 6 hours of Day 1.) There are time sensitive doors? (Lol) *finally fights Noel* I have been hitting this hunter pedo (Not to confuse with Pedo Hunter...) for ten minutes, is this Final Fantasy or frigging Monster Hunter? *sees cutscene* Hey, Yeul is MY waifu, hands away, Kingdom Hearts reject! *reads FAQ* WHAAA? You can only upgrade your equipment on NG+? That totally defeats the purpose! Or... you can buy stupidly overpriced gear on the last day. FUUU...

Well, that's the gist of it. After a week of in-game time (and real-time too... is that funny?) We have finished the five main quests and 50+ sidequests. Our opinion on the game (specially HIS) has improved drastically. Better garbs, item slots, skills, stronger mons to get EP and sustain Cronostasis... you already know. I write this post because the owner of the game expected a Tales like experience. HAH! You have played most of the PS 3 Tales, man. Accept no substitutes! smile

Milla's psirit world costume is really REALLY dumb.

It has a fucking buttcrack window.

Got an Anniversary Sara after 5 multi pulls. Also got Rita and Cheria, one after the other. Pretty cool stuff.

I finished in the top 800 in Soul Arena, but I wasn't really trying, I didn't grind at all for two of those days.

As for spirit outfits... I really don't like Musee's, because it reminds me of the sex slave outfits from MeMeMe!.

Well that's fucking lucky. I'm probably gonna skip this one because multi pulls on this kinda thing always end in tragedy

And did you mean X1 or X2 Muzet?

Yeah, two of my pulls were utter poop. One I just got another 5* Devastating Cutie Anise, which was converted into levels for the one I already had.

Both outfits look painted on over skin, which is my issue with them.

I kinda like X2 Muzet more than X1. X2 looks a bit more consistent and smoother and she has a better hairline too.
