Counting you and me, there are still 11 active players. Everyone else either booked it way early (like 700+ days ago) or are hella strong now and probably running Aranea.
I think there were maybe two or three people who stopped playing 100-some days ago.
Hey, if you want any other friend units to help you through some content, I can change to different peeps!
The big reason Aranea is being ran is, due to her massive overflow, rediculously damaging AoE splash second skill, rediculous Delay on her single target skill, as well as technically on her second due to it's renewal mechanic, and the special debuff that raises critical damage done by allies by 50%, She is nearly perfect to take on any content as a friend and deal massive burst damage.
Setzer is also popular, since he also does amazing damage and can delay enemies, but can also pull out a special debuff that completely prevents enemies from gaining Brave, keeping them from damaging the party with their worst attacks!
It's unfortunate how many sorta ran out the clock on this early on, I don't even know if the Thread Maker even plays anymore! But at least the community is bustling, and we are all having a good time and helping newer players!
I wonder if we can get some updated tutorial stuff on the front page someday soon, and maybe revamp the text file and replace it with more relevant info. I don't mind having a bio attached to my friend code that says I'm the tutorial guy!
