Looks like anybody who bought FFRK related avatars from the past weeks will be gifted Mog and Cactuar balloons today. No notice was ever released saying this would be the case.

Well, maybe they meant what they said about "quicker story updates" and get us Agrabah in 2 weeks... lol

Quicker story updates could also just mean that the updates are quicker to play through. ;P No more having tp trudge through 15-25 missions at once, 5 missions per 2 months! Really minimal, quick effort!

Finished the new story quests.
They mentioned spirits, I wonder if that will be a new mechanic in the future. Haven't caught up with JP's side of things.
I think I read the next 40 something story quests (or more) are all Agrabah. Damn, the one place I hate the most and it's agrabah, I fall asleep every time. Maybe it's the emptiness of the desert that drives me insane lol.

Those pets that follow you around? They are spirits. They are talking about your pets.

In Japan they got the pets in the same update they got these story bits. Ours was pushed way up so it's a little disjointed. Plot wise it probably doesn't matter much since both storylines (The Player's and the New Union Leaders) can be viewed as happening independent of each other, and not 1:1 real time.

It had been a long time since I'd played regularly, but I recently jumped back in, thinking it'd be fun to catch up on whatever story line they'd developed. I'm enjoying myself, despite being overpowered for the stage I'm at (dumped my free premium currency into banners to get a leg up), but I'm still wondering about that story for some reason.

Anyway, I'm around stage 130. Does this ever get much beyond "Go to [World] and talk to / find [X]"? I swear to god I'm on my fourth visit to Agrabah and not a god damn thing of consequence has happened since I first created my character.

Some more interesting stuff starts happening after the quest #200 mark but even after that it can be a slow burn.

And there's enough Agrabah to plunge you into despair.

Have you guys used this tool before?

https://ultimadei.github.io/

It allows you to simulate your pulls for each banner using the specified pull rates, and displays the total amount of jewels spent. Using this, I was able to see that getting some medals (like HD Ventus EX) took an average of 5 pulls, while some other medals (like FFRK Terra) I couldn't even get within 20.

Wait, starlight is worth upgrading? I googled some before I asked but folks seemed heavily against it. Yeah I'm F2P so it's Good to know To save those, much appreciated.

It'll be a while before you get Stroke of Midnight, which is the second multi-attribute keyblade. Starlight is perfectly fine up to that point.

I seem to have vitally misunderstood how Raid Boss summoning work in UX. I went from Lv. 88 to 93 outside of Lux time, probably because I killed the Lv. 88 during lux time and waited until after it was over to summon again. I always thought it was at the time of summoning that determines when they skip levels, not when the last one was defeated. Oh, the agony.

It's not dark theme friendly so I skipped it.

Not really light theme friendly either. Modoru, what was the purpose of using black spoiler bars that when clicked changes the non-spoiler text to white? I'm not even sure why this stuff is spoiler tagged, it's just the title of each section?

Oh god what the hell? I just saw that,

I never formatted the post in that form, something must've been changed during a forum update or something???

I'll have to go back and fix everything uuuuuuuUUUUUUUGH

Yeah sorry about that friends, first post was NOT like that the last time I edited it.

Also, I made the post in dark theme myself, so it was definitely not intended to be unfriendly (to either theme actually, I spent some time making sure it was readable both ways).

Okay, update
I figured out why that happened........ and it's so stupid it's embarrassing

so, at some point, resetera added a tag called [ cross ]
the game is called KINGDOM HEARTS UNCHAINED X [ CROSS ]

ergo, at some point, since that tag existed and was left without spaces, it created a spoiler text for the entire post, because it didn't have a closing [ /cross]

fuckin' a, man.

everything is fixed. please revise. please read. please validate my hard work

ilu all

i got out of bed to find the problem/fix it tbh

I did the same thing. Luckily a couple of people in my party had level 90's ready to go last night and I was able to get the coins from them.

Sora & Riku is tier 7 at least but still not a great deal. The multiplier is relatively low and most competitive players will have already maxed out M-Def and Gen-def down. If you need a new speed upright Armor of the Master and HD Zach are both on the horizon.

It's so annoying how low the drop rate is for the Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde medals... just need a few more Nicks and I'll be done with this union cross.

I haven't seen a single Nick and I've played a lot. At this point I'll settle for just one to add to my album and give up any hope of guilting it.

Having Steal II as my pet's ability is the only reason I've managed to guilt Judy so far, it triggered just at the right times. I haven't been as lucky with Nick and only have 3 dots so far. Meanwhile I get a shit ton of Flash and Nick&Judy medals (the latter of which I had already maxed guilted a while back).

I have yet to get a single Judy or Nick to drop. I've gotten over 20 Flash's and Combo medals each though.

Dang, was hoping Sephiroth would be later and would give me more time to try to get him, but I certainly don't have the jewels right now. I'll keep saving for whatever releases during the anniversary.

I'm pretty pissed that the new new Riku and TWEWY medals are not score multipliers. I would have been in good shape if they were. As it is I can get up to 45 million with a 44% multiplier mainly thanks to VIP medals.

In a moment of weakness I caved and pulled on the new banner a few times: got two trait medals, no Seph and I'm out of jewels. Welp.

Yeah, barely cleared 41 mil thanks to one of my party members scoring their own Seph. Still, though...

EDIT: didn't see this before

Some interesting updates coming to JP in Spring. PVP, evolving medals to 7-star and Keyblade subslots.

I wonder what hard-to-come-by evolve medal will allow for 6* -> 7*?
Because you just know they're not going to make it easy for us to update all of our medals at once.

beefing up keyblades w/ unused medals seems interesting, I wonder how much of a buff they'll get


Probably won't be seeing this in time for the Global 2nd anniversary.

I pulled three times on the Sephiroth's EX plus banner, got a trait medal. I am just going to save the rest of my jewels. Made it to about 42.5 million. Not too great, don't think I will reach that 50 million mark.
