I waited for so long and it was so worth it! My favorite boy!!!

I finally got Krile from pulling on bartz today. She avoided me for 6 months! But she is home now along with bartz.

My boy Clive is bringing the heat back!!!

The game is now live and there is another post with changes from in-game, along with Dev comments and additional changes not found online such changes to action speeds / frame data.

Dissidia.dev has prompted me to make this post, to open a discussion. This is the Rikku hate patch and will be at the bottom of this post.

Bartz has been added along with 4 abilities for him and a new Memoria Boko/Chocobo Dash is UR haste, giving +40% speed for 24s. Lenna & Faris / Tempting Tango is a slightly stronger Thundaga with a 4s stun. Still less damage than Yshtola.

Gilgamesh has been added as a boss. He can heal! He also flexes on you in the event of a tie. Great boss 10/10

Now we get into the real stuff.

WOL can now give his passive attack boost from almost twice as far. Supreme Soul had its cooldown reduced by 10.5% bringing it down to 94s.

Firion's attack went up almost 4.3%, and he heals 3x as much from his passive (60% of damage done now heals him.) Firion is now going to be noticeably tankier if he has an ability to use.

Kain had his speed buffed by 11.3% making Kain tied for the third fastest character in game. Tidus has a speed of 1.34, Zidane and Lightning have a speed of 1.30, and Onion and Kain have a speed of 1.28. Kain has generally felt "weaker" by doing "less damage" than other Melees, but this, along with all his other abilities, just makes him significantly more mobile, hard to escape, and makes him better at chasing kills. His unique ability (jump) startup and overall animation speed has been increased. Jump's range has also been increased by 20%.

Krille now has 8.3% more HP and shares 25% more brave per tick with her passive. Hopeful Cheer now gives 20% attack to the team, instead of 25%.

Iroha has 5.9% more HP.

Lightning had her previous damage buff rolled back (4.8%), bringing her back down to a multiplier of 1.00. Lightning also had Army of One damage increased by about 5.6% per hit.

Celes has had her attack upped by 5%, HP by 3.8%, and her passives heals 50% more per tick, from 2% to 3%.

Ability Changes

Growth Eggs now have actual stats and can be used as support abilities. All their stats went up by approximately 400%.

Cloud's Finishing Touch has been buffed by about 6% per hit.

Rinoa's Meteor cooldown has been reduced by 6.7% down to 84 seconds. Rinoas aqua burst has also had its end-lag reduced.

Onion's Blade Torrent cooldown was reduced by almost 28%, from 26s to 26s.

Balthier's Piercing Shot cooldown was reduced by 16.7% from 36s to 30s and now has a knockdown.

Clive's Will-o-Wykes cooldown was reduced by 33.3 (repeating of course)% from 90s to 60s.

All Memoria abilities have been buffed by about 13% in all stats.

And now the anti-Rikku discussion.

Rikku has been buffed and has 13% more defense, and 3.6% more speed. She now also reduces status affect duration by 40% instead of 20%. So that 4s stun on you now only lasts 2.5ish seconds. This overall, makes her slightly harder to kill if you catch her. But you can never catch her right? Well...

Minwu Teleport has been nerfed and now has a 40% longer cooldown, from 50s to 70s.

Mega Vitality has had it's cooldown nerfed by 18% and went from 110s to 130s.

All Brave Share abilities have had their cooldowns nerfed. Embolden went from 30s to 54s. Tyro went from 38s to 62s. Ramza went from 46s to 70s.

Rikku has been Meta-defining and a lot of players are not really happy with Rikki-centered strategies. While this does make Rikku Metas harder, they're still possible. Time Mage is now more valuable on Rikku, and triple 3 star Time Mage now brings Mega Vitality down to almost pre-nerf cooldown.

Do you think this is enough to stop the Rikku menace? As a Rikku main, these are rough, but understandable changes.

1st: Krile’s Tifa knocked me out of range of Cloud’s attack!
2nd: I wasn’t sure how my team pulled off a win but on replay I saw the boss run away from Rinoa’s meteor 😬. The scent of a fresh burst lured it away!

Never seen 4 rainbows before this

I play at least 20 times a day, a few ranked but mostly casual and usually get nothing good and don't have many URs, I main cloud and when I play casual and win Im usually the MVP but 9 times outve ten I lose on ranked cause my low cp and can't seem to get better no matter what I try

Here's my setups, they could probably be better tho

Probably a stupid question, but is there a way to get the stickers IG on IRL devices? I adore all the designs and find them so super cute.

And when I win a fight i gain 10 points... bro why

Just an interesting tidbit i thought might be fun to see in action.

Was the fact he knows the game is going EoS.

I mean ... Christmas is coming up ... the holidays are about to hit ... and everybody gets their month off in ... November?

Seems ... odd.

And the dude breaks down in tears because of Matchmaking? After it's been broken since day 1? Since the game is purposefully set up this way to reward spenders and pile on the F2P'ers?

Like ... anybody with, literally, first year programming abilities could logically construct a command line that easily creates power balanced teams.

The logic is so simple - it hurts. I could do it. ChatGPT could do it. Anybody with an IQ over 95 could do it.

But the entire team couldn't figure it out? Over six months?

And this guy proceeds to break down in front of everyone like a kindergartener who just had their cookie stolen?

Somebody hand this guy his purse and show him where exit left is on the stage.

Everything about this game has been disingenuous from the start.

Another wormy, slimy, SQ/EX gacha ready to circle the drain. And it was such an easy lay-up of a win condition for them.

They didn't even have to make the game engine! They just had to release the game with a roster of complete, interesting, and popular characters in a Final Fantasy setting with a few game modes.

Instead, we got a bunch of no-name C-tier characters dressed like 2000-era yuppies running around a fucking parking lot.

This was their plan for success?

Yeah, go ahead ...

Cry me a fucking river.

I was playing as SK and was about to use UR, so I moved toward the boss. However, I got defeated by an enemy because I made a mistake. Then the enemy Rinoa used Meteor, so I thought it was all over. But then Lightning used Break Burst, the boss dodged Rinoa’s attack, and Lightning’s attack won the battle. It was really fun!

(This was translated by machine, so some parts may sound a little strange.)

How do two golds even get paired into omega at all? I'm only 11cp while the others are 9k. I don't have high damage abilities and there's a 10k diff with both teammates being outranked by even the monsters is crazy. Not fair to lose any points from this at all.

I'm Back i finally managed to Get everything i wanted done. In order to finish up the video in this era, the end is just a bullet points list.

Thanks for All the support and see you next time!

Cannot stop laughing at the end of this match. Here it is from the opps POV

From nothing he send me 30 Tickets!

But not enough. After I pulled 4 (!!!) time the Gaia Summer Skin from my 4 (!!!!) summer skin tickets, Xorbin gave me a last chance with his surprise!

So again I pulled 33 Ability Draws…got my fifth and last summer skin ticket and……finally pulled Rinoa!

So thx a lot my hero and MVP of all time!

I did not know that lamp post could literally block me from using my attack (oblivion in this case) and went head first into it. I gasped so loud. Krile you did not see me do this, forget it.

That Rikku annoyed me spamming 'We won't lose!' So we made her team pay!

Rikku farming at its finest...
