Final Episode

Hey guys.

So this is our final episode of the FFBE Podcast. It's been an awesome and amazing ride creating this podcast and playing FFBE.

We are not done making content in general, but we're going to have to step away from FFBE.

So this episode is an assortment of various topics, but mainly we reminisce about the podcast and our favourite moments of FFBE over the last 2-3 years.

We hope you've enjoyed the podcast as much as we've enjoyed making it and sharing it with all of you.

Thank you for listening! It would not have been the same without you listeners interacting and listening to our show. So really, thank you so much!

Stay healthy and stay safe out there during these difficult times.

Episode 76: Emperor Foo is the New Best Support | Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year Event

In this episode we discuss the Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year Event.

This event comes with some great limited units! Xuan Wu/Qing Long (1 unit, 2 names) is a fantastic DPS unit which focuses mainly on SPR based physical damage. Their Magnus  ability has INSANE damage modifiers, but can only be used once. But let's be serious, what the hell is gonna survive 60x modifier? Overall the units functions to max out SPR damage and can do elemental chaining. The unit also kicks off a new chaining family: Avalanche Kick!

Emperor Foo is the new best support overall! His capabilities to both buff and break are awesome. When you put some of the biggest on demand buffs in the game and pair it with some of the best breaks in the game, you're going to get a good unit. But this guy takes in even further. He also has great damage mitigation, fantastic (but limited by cooldowns) elemental buffs, LB gauge filling, mana sustain, evo gauge filling, and evo mag. He literally does everything you could want you support unit to do. He even heals a little bit. He has to have a downside ... it's his LB. Its literally useless AND ridiculous expensive. There's no point where you would realistically choose to use his LB instead of double or triple casting his other abilities. But who cares about that, he's fantastic!

There's lots of goodies coming our way from this event so be sure to login and take advantage of those freebies!

Hope you guys enjoyed this episode.

Episode 75: FFBE has gotten much better!? Our thoughts on the game right now

Episode 75: FFBE has gotten much better!? Our thoughts on the game right now

In this episode we talk about our thoughts on the current state of FFBE.

Mini has felt a surge of motivation thanks to all the farming event improvements. Making it quicker to farm, providing some free units to help players in King Mog events, and adding in more worthwhile rewards at times has made it feel much better to play all the farming events. There have been some drawbacks; however, with useless 3 star and 4 star units being added with useless (in today's meta) really takes away from the game.

With the addition of the 2 units recently which were given to use for free (Sister & Scartio) both of which add nothing to the meta, nothing to helping new players, and even their TMRs (which are free if you finish the HK Lasswell story) are useless. Both of us agree that using existing characters in the story not only helps reduce the amount of useless 3 and 4 star units, but also creates continuity in the backstory and would allow us to get to know some of the side characters even more ... which would also make us care for them more.

 Wilmgaard misses long side-quest lines with detailed stories. The types of quests like Madams Manor, or the Vault story line (Legendary Raven is the final quest) are the types of quests we would like to see. Even if there were less quests in the game which would basically take away the "kill 5 giants" and "bring me a phoenix down" quests, this would allow for a more focused effort on making quests that culminate together to tell a greater story about the world of FFBE.

Do you have comments about the game or ideas of how to improve the game? Let's talk about it on social!

Episode 66: Black Friday Event | New Secret Agent Units Are Awesome | New OP Magnus Abilities

This Black Friday FFBE brings more than bundles: A new theme of units with an all new type of ability!

Seems like Black Friday will be a new event type in FFBE, and I for one am excited. Not only are we getting an amazing bundle (4k Lapis for a ton of amazing goodies - Mini is excited) but these new units are really breathing life into some old 4 stars from years ago.

Doctor Aiden (contending for best healer), Operative Zyrus (a pretty strong mage), Mastermind Xon (best thief now and forever), and Agent Olive (... we're not that excited lol).

Aiden, Zyrus, and Xon got updates that stayed true to their identities as units and just made them even better, stronger, and usable in the current meta. Olive, on the other hand, is now a chainer? How the hell do you a chain with a massive effing canon!? It really went over our heads. Although she is very strong and fits with the chainer meta, we wish she stayed true to her finisher type character. If only her magnus ability could be all of her abilities. 

Speaking of magnus abilities: all the new units for this Black Friday event got Magnus abilities. These are a new ability which can only be used a limited number of times in a fight, and then you can't use it anymore during that battle; however, these abilities are crazy strong! Each of them fits extremely well with the units kit and we think you guys are gonna love them!

Hope you enjoy this episode!

Stay tuned tomorrow for our Scorn of the Bloody Moon episode!

Episode 63: FFBE FIXES SUMMONS!? Huge changes to all summons! | Scorn of the Lich discussion

Episode 63: FFBE FIXES SUMMONS!? Huge changes to all summons! | Scorn of the Lich discussion

In this episode we give our thoughts on the recent changes to rare summons, UoC tickets, and so much more!

The changes make summons so much better and give us confidence for the future. They have gone ahead and updated the summon rate of rainbows up to 5% (was 3%), updated the on banner rate to 1.5% (was 1%), and THINNING OUT THE SUMMONING POOL!

Thinning the pool of 5 star units you can get when doing rare summons or banner summons is such a massive change. Now when you see a rainbow, you will feel excited again rather than worried. No more Delita trolling your rainbow crystals, no more worrying which form of Lightning is going to appear. Plus, if you do see a rainbow, there's a much higher chance of getting a unit you want, a unit that will be amazing in today's meta, or a unit you can actually use.

Finally, they've increased the value of UoC tickets and how you can use them. Starting with Aldore King Rain, new 5 star unit Prisms will be UoC-able immediately once the banner is available. So if you get one unit, you can UoC a prism to make it 7 star RIGHT AWAY, and it's less expensive: only costs 8 UoC tickets for 1 Prism. No more waiting 2 weeks to use your new unit.
The last change to UoCs is that you can trade them in for lapis: 1 UoC = 1500 Lapis. This further makes summoning current units accessible, and can get you to that last step of a step up. To celebrate, the first 5 UoCs you trade for lapis right now will be worth 2000 lapis each. That's massive value!

All of these changes compound together to essentially fix many of the issues with summoning units. Higher rates, smaller pools, better ways to use UoC tickets; so many fantastic changes!

We also cover Aldore King Rain and how to use him (its very easy), and Scorn of the Lich, but it's such a straight forward fight there wasn't much to mention. BE CAREFUL OF HIS UNRESISTABLE DEATH. Everything else is exactly what you would expect. Basch with his awakenings does really well in the fight, and Pheonix as an esper is an awesome addition whether its for extra DPS or for the ability to use revive with off units. Finally, units like LM Fina or Rem are amazing as they have great reraise capabilities which can really help against that unresistable death you have to deal with.

We hope you guys enjoy the episode! Thanks for listening!

Episode 62: Scorn of the Octopus and the Teacher

Episode 62: Scorn of the Octopus and the Teacher

In this episode we discuss the Scorn of Octopus and the Teacher trial as we experienced it.

At it's core, this trial boils down to 2 things: can you beat the octopus, and can you burst the teacher? The fight comes in 2 phases, wave 1 is just a fight vs Orthros, who comes with his own challenges. Wave 2 is both Orthros and Typhon.

To beat Orthrus it's important to come prepared with a Physical Cover tank with very high DEF as it's impossible to dodge their attacks. BIG NOTE: DO NOT TAKE A BREAKER. They can't be broken, so use that unit slot to help your survivability or increase your DPS Also, the key elemental damage to worry about are Earth, Water, Wind, and Lightning as he will do some pretty strong attacks using each of the elements. Finally, he alternates between resisting physical damage and resisting magic damage, and also alternates which elements he's susceptible to (fire and lightning together, wind and light together). So just switch back and forth, or use hybrid DPS units for unit slot efficiency.

This is actually where we both agreed that the game needs to do a much better job of clarity. There's no way to tell what elements you're getting hit by in any given fight. Normally, the animation would indicate to you whether it's water or fire or ice or whatever element. That's not the case, and colours don't matter either. For example, in this fight, there's a tornado animation doing lightning damage... why? If there's going to be multiple elements at least help us by giving us accurate animations, or as Wilmgaard suggested, put the elemental indicators beside the attack.

Normally in any RPG there's a way to figure out what element it is, beyond just guessing what resistance to bring until it works. Monster Compendiums are a staple, but FFBE does not give us any way to collect this info within the confines of the game, and any game should be able to give you all the information you need, or give you a way to figure it out within the game itself. We don't need detailed information about every aspect of the fight like the Wiki provides, but at least tell us what the hell we're being hit with!!

Anyways, after beating Orthros on round 1, he's the same in round 2. The trick to round 2 is Typhon, we brings a whole new set of abilities, damage, and annoyance. The main thing he does that can really wreck you is Snort. He has a temporary snort, and then he permanently snorts a unit after a specific threshold. We avoid this by Nuking him down ASAP in the fight. Then it boils back down to Orthros by himself and you've already beaten that in round 1!

We hope this helps you guys clear the fight! Some awesome units include Sieghard, Folka, Sylvie, Elena. You can supplement them with other units as you need, or substitute them with similar but "weaker" units as well (ex. Use Wilhelm instead of Sieghard).

Hope you all enjoyed the episode! Thanks for listening!

Next episode will be Scorn of the Lich

Episode 61: Scorn of the Beasts of the Dark, FFBE farming missions just got BETTER!?, the Lantern gives Mini nightmares

Episode 61: Scorn of the Beasts of the Dark, FFBE farming missions just got BETTER!?, the Lantern gives Mini nightmares

In this episode we cover our clears and strategies for Scorn of the Beasts of the Dark (Dark Ifrit/Dark Siren).

First we discuss the update to the most recent farming event. There's only 1 round on LGD tier which is amazing is it takes significantly less time. Yes, it is a bit harder to do, but if you can get your team down, it makes it easier going forward and saves you tons of time killing pointless enemies. This change has the Miniado seal of approval!

The Scorn of the Beasts trial can be quite tricky. Although you may be able to AoE Burst them (pretty hard if you ask me) to get the full clear, it takes some DPS management as well as the right selection of tanks and healers. It's more than just "tank everything for me." It requires that you choose the right tank for the job.

Although they do a lot of elemental magic damage, it turns out that covering your team from the physical damage is way more important. Keeping track of things like the enemy buffs, dispelling them when they appear, and reapplying your own breaks is essential. If you have to choose, break Dark Siren as she is susceptible to ATK/MAG breaks (Dark Ifrit is not).

The route we took was to deal with Dark Siren first, kill her, then turn our attention to Dark Ifrit.

With Dark Ifrit alone, you just have to manage his buffs, breaks, and focus on not dealing too much damage all at once, unless its going to kill him. If you do too much damage and he's alive... get ready to be wiped!

Hope this helps you guys clear the trial and gives you some more info on the benefits of getting these STMR level equipments offered in these trials!

Next episode will be the Scorn of the Octopus and the Teacher!

Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Episode 53: Elena and Morgana push the (chair) meta, too many abilities to talk about, Wilm eats the hot sauce (Finally)

Elena and Morgana are here! 

On this episode: our thoughts on Elena's CG limit burst followed by Morgana and Elena unit reviews.

Wilmgaard finally takes his punishment: hot sauce to the mouth!

Elena, the global exclusive CG unit, is here and she is beautiful, strong, amazing, and full of back story. But how does her plot compare to others?

She reminds us of a traditional comic book hero and we’re excited to see where FFBE takes her in the future.

Morgana is her arch nemesis... turns out she’s pretty simple, and a strong friend Elena can help you clear the LGD stage quickly.

If you can’t clear it in one turn then bring a good magic cover tank, dodge tank, and breaker and it makes the battle a simple tank and spank! Hope that helps you guys clear the runs.

Morgana, Harbinger of the Chair Meta, pushes evoke mages to new heights and it’s the damage, elemental coverage, and versatility she has. Plus she’s great against bosses with damage mitigation, such as the first few turns of the FF7 trial boss on now: the Will of the Planet.

Elena, the Warrior of the (blue) Crystal, is a hybrid DPS and the best in her class! FFBE global really loves their hybrids, especially when they’re global exclusive, and it shows in Elena. At her best, she does similar damage to Zeno which is absolutely insane. Definitely worth it if you love those hybrids, or if you need a DPS on your team.

Oh, and both units chain with some of the best chaining families.


Time stamps below.

Hope you all enjoy the show!

Episode 50: Kimono Ayaka, Dressy Aileen, New App, 3rd Anniversary Rewards, and so much more!

In this episode we talk about the new app version and the issues that come with it. This update brings so many new and much anticipated quality that we really need for the health of game. However, Google enforces new app compliance with 64-bit devices. Gumi has come out with this a little earlier than anticipated, so some people are affected. Hopefully you guys can get a device or another way to play!

Mini's coffee maker makes an appearance on the show. His hair attacks with a vengeance.

 The FFBE Global edition 3rd anniversary is here and so many rewards are coming our way! So many free summons, tons of chances at amazing rewards, and an exchange shop which holds 3rd Anniversary summon tickets which give you a chance for UoC tickets, 5* guaranteed tickets, Prism Moogles, and a bunch of other goodies. Take advantage of these tickets by logging in every day and using the 3rd anniversary coins to exchange for them in the exchange shop... and good luck! Mini and Wilm get a few nice pulls from their 3rd Anniversary Ticket summons so far. Hope you guys make it even better! 

Finally, Chocobo Rain comes in hot with all the elements, esper filling, and LB gauge filling. He is an amazing unit for clearing Missions. Dressy Aileen is decent, but is more difficult to use and doesn't push the meta forward. However, she is the most usable Aileen form which is a plus! "Kayaka" is an amazing unit and can be used to clear some tricky trials, scales with SPR, and chains extremely well. She can take advantage of imbuing elements on herself in order to elemental chain! This alone makes her an awesome unit. If you're pulling, good luck! Hope you guys enjoy this episode!

PS. Our video file for this episode corrupted and was lost very unfortunately. I wish we could salvage it and post a YouTube video but we can't. The YouTube show will be back next week for episode 3 and will continue moving forward. Sorry and thanks for your patience with us as we figure out these technical difficulties.

Episode 39: Crimson Banner! Is he worth it though? Akstar delayed, new story event, tons of free spring event stuff! How we feel about FFBE GL and its "power creep" pacing

Spring is upon us, we got the Vault of Hidden Treasures coming in, along with some free summons, spring summon tickets and a new, highly difficult trial: Scorn of the Beasts of the Dark. You know it’s going to be hard because of the double “of the” in the title. Marching right along, march on Tiamat is here. You can get some decent stuff for beating it, but don’t be too rough, Tiamat is sensitive.  If Marching isn’t your thing, we’ve also got a wilderness survival guide coming in this week. It’s called “The Day the Spark was Lit”. As I’m sure you know, one of the most important things for survival is fire. We’re excited to learn how to light sparks of our own.

The first instructor is Mirfas, the baker’s daughter. Once you’ve got a fire, you need something to use it on. That’s where Mirfas comes in with some fresh bread. A warning: if you’re going to use it as an accessory instead of a food item, avoid large bodies of water.

Next up, we talk a little about Kyanos, the seasoned warrior. If you just can’t seem to get the spark right and all your bread comes out bad, you’re gonna be pissed. You might even say you hate this wilderness survival stuff. But that’s where the next lesson comes in, Kyanos will teach you how overcoming your hatred makes your limit bursts stronger. You don’t think it would work like that, but it does.

And if all else fails, there’s Crimson. He’s got a massive, flaming sword. Really. It’s massive. It can also freeze things. Check it out.

Epsidoe 38: Final Fantasy Tactics Event Ft. High Seraph Ultima and Beowulf, New Dark Esper Trials: Shiva & Golem, and Desert Despair - the Xenogears Trials

Epsidoe 38: Final Fantasy Tactics Event Ft. High Seraph Ultima and Beowulf, New Dark Esper Trials: Shiva & Golem, and Desert Despair - the Xenogears Trials

Last week was the week of trials. Both Wilm and Mini cleared the chamber of arms and talk a little about some of the battles, rewards, and experiences. Speaking of battles, Dark Golem and Dark Shiva are here and they are HARD. But they do come with some nice rewards if you can clear them (looking at you Shiva’s Tiara). If that’s a little too tough for you right now, we also got “Desert Despair”, the difficult battle for the Xenogears colab where you get to fight Weltall-ID. And by fight I mean you get to flick it with your finger and knock it out, this one is easy. Now that we’ve over come the trials, we can talk about the new Final Fantasy Tactics event Nelveska Temple. King Mog is sending us back to Ivalice to farm some Blue Orbs in exchange for some goodies. But I think most people are excited because we’re getting four new Final Fantasy Tactics units: Construct 8 - the adorable killing machine, Reis, the adorable and sparkly Holy Dragon, Beowulf, the Dragon fu—.. ahem, Dragon lover… AND finally High Seraph Ultima – the MP devouring, enemy murdering, head-wing having killing machine (imagine how scary she’d be if she wasn’t high). Hope you enjoy!

Episode 36: Xenogears next week?! Karlette and Yuraisha join us, 2 new trials, ability awakenings batch 26

Trust Moogle friend point summon is here! But it’s a little more tedious to fuse them than it used to be. If you have a convenient way to fuse them all, please give us your secret strats! We also got a couple new trials this week, Scorn of Gilgamesh, coming in hot with Muramasa and a Select Summon Ticket. And the prophesied circley wing thing, Warden Welter, makes an appearance. Balthier got some much needed love in his ability enhancements this week. Joining him with some great enhancements are Basch and Kunshira as well. And finally, the Grandma of Hess: Yuraisha is here. She’s joined by Karlette, the wonderful red mage. We talk about both of their kits and what we think of them. Soilers: Xenogears banner confirmed for next week!
