What did we think of the latest chapter? Or for that note the actual existence of the non mobile version of the game finally being more than a golden unicorn that doesn't exist?
Tried to make this thread for 2 days and got an error each time.

>is the chronos empire arc worth coming back to play through?
It's kinda whatever for me storywise compared to Chrono Cross and FFIX collab desu. Just set the difficulty to Beginner. Awakening is unnecessary aside for secret superbosses.

I have been using fucking lovely and Azami AS no issue except for a few bosses that broke the monotomy (I actually enjoyed using elemental booster grastas for a once)
How come they won't give amy or riica a sexo new as form?
>>
>>1953661
Found it to be the weakest story arc by far. I know it lasted for a while and we got to explore this parallel dimension for three parts now, but I just couldn't really care about the Chronos Empire at all. Edax was sort of interesting, but it was relatively short and not enough to cap the absolute slog that was the Chronos Empire.

I personally only liked the yugi-oh cats. Missed oppourtunity not making one a party member.
Typical WFS missing out on what's really important.

It's fucking weird Amy's gotten nothing so far besides her 5* upgrade, given how the game's treated her in story roles whenever the party needs to split up. She didn't even get a new look for Begins.
She at least got a sexo altnerate with that NPC variant.

She always comes in clutch for aldo and she gets nothing. A real shame. Fist characters only started to get noticed when they gave us ID for some reason.
Even hot teacher has a god tier AS that does wonders for not having the bee keeper

Saw that there's a new Chrono Cross collab and the Chrono characters are getting Stellar Awakenings. Any news on what their new abilities will be?

Technically not a new collab but an extension and additional content for the existing one. Adds Glenn and a quest for him. No news on what updates the other 4 characters are getting beyond being stellar awakened. Given the update is in a couple days, we'll probably get a notice with their updates in a day or so.

I'm just now coming back to the game after the main story got wrapped up, and holy fucking shit, I'm getting swamped with new content. I'm not complaining. My min-maxed enmity team of flam, minalca, thille ES, iphi, and nagi and otoha in the backrow still mogs everything save superbosses in 1 turn. Stellar Flam doko?

Her stellar is called Verdanta for some reason.

>>1959541
Every new char powercrept her.
This one is however basically her but in modern. The first 3 turns thing isn't exactly common.
Wouldn't make much sense to give Flam any update anytime soon. Not like this game is known to make much sense.

Her kit's impressive for sure. The reason I still use flam, outside of already heavily investing in her, is because she can still keep up with ORKO meta given the right setup. It's too much to explain with words so maybe this clip explains it. Flam's and Minalca's speed is identical so who goes first is up to RNG but this fight shows why I keep both in the party.

They included an update to the PCD. More cat stamps, better rewards and a chest with Express Tickets in the dungeon.

Two new cats in such a short amount of time.
Overall I like what they did with Nekoko. She really is the polar opposite of Necoco ES.
-Debuff vs. Buff
-harsh team restrictions vs. free for all
-Flex vs. Kaleido
-Buff reversal vs. debuff reversal-Absolute brick vs. extremely strong
For gameplay balance reasons there should've been no shadow restriction. She's not good enough to be hammered like that. Even her buff reversal is only 1 turn locked to stellar instead of Necoco's debuff reversal lasting 3 turns and not needing a stellar burst. Reminds me of Shigure Alter who also got hammered with extreme restrictions making him essentially useless.
Nekoko isn't quite THAT badly off I'd like to say. Easy access to weapon break and strong debuffs can make it worth dealing with those restrictions.
Without shadow restrictions you could actually play really solid teams. Alas.

-Linaria is very good if you have team mates enabling her support. Critical guard can cheese a lot of mechanics. I recommend playing her Ensemble and character quest. Liked it a lot personally.
-Merit is theoretically powerful but ugly to use. As a rule of thumb survival is the only issue you tend to have in this game, and she actively tries to kill you. Makes me always wonder why you wouldn't just play something that doesn't try to kill you if the game allows it.
-Id is terrible these days. Works well in older content, but anything new (past last ani) and AF being so vital completely kills her concept. There are a bunch of these characters. Meta heavily shifted last ani with boss' getting 10x the HP and AF getting revived instead of always "forbidden". A lot of chars that are VERY good outside of AF and shit with it got hurt a LOT by that. Yakumo is an easy example. Both versions. And the old Id focused blunt team another.
-Myunfa is earth and earth plays like absolute shit. As I said before, survival is your only issue (usually) and earth REALLY suffers there. Funnily enough, earth also suffers in offense... so all the supports in the world ain't fixing this. No good AF driver, no good defensive support.
Maybe Toova Alter AS fixes this. We had some extremely good Alter AS defensive supports with Suzette and Premaya. If she's similar, earth could be very well saved. Both of these are very good AF drivers and keep you alive at the same time. Suzette is better while getting a lot worse outside of wind teams, while Premaya technically is thunder but none of her abilities other than her 1 time radical zone is locked to having a thunder zone, so she is extremely flex. (good buddy for Nekoko)
tl;dr: From top to bottom: Very good but you might die, good before last ani, extremely good with the right team, currently fairly useless

Thanks, anons. Also, I picked up this smug kot. I haven't touched this game in months; dare I say over a year now, so I think I'm burning through all my luck right now. 2K stones on her banner from going through tempered manifest battles.

Fuck, I really want to play this but I dont want to spoil myself all of the story for the offline release (just like with Octopath CotC I did all Bestower story and now I'm waiting to buy 0 at a good price). Is it REALLY worth playing the gacha if I intend of playing the offline release? The gacha will keep getting story and collabs, but I dont want to ruin my experience, or are they different stories? This sucks.

If you want to try out the gacha, the actual game release in Summer is supposed to have a serial code that let's you skip the story part the game covers in the gacha. So there's no reason to decide if you want to play the gacha or not right now. Unless somehow global doesn't get this, but that'd be weird.
Yes you'll be missing a bunch of things right now, but you've missed a lot anyways. Just a general disclaimer that only the Phone version of global should be played. Steam release is for cheaper purchases of normal packages (especially in EU where the phone and webstore are like 30-40% more expensive than steam) but has a fuckton of issues otherwise. No ads (= way less income), can't subscribe (like 6 bucks/month giving you a bunch of things including no ads when you "watch" ads) and major issues with updates/account transfer being annoying and very buggy (aka taking forever).
There are workarounds with keeping backups of a specific folder, but yeah.
I'd recommend to just play Another Eden Begins first. If that makes you interested in the world, and the Gacha, you can arrange yourself easier around it being OLD as fuck and having issues due to that, even on phone.. just way less.

>outfits, not alternate styles
Interesting, so we're finally getting just costume swaps. I wonder if this will open the door to characters being able to do something like equipping their NS outfit while in their ES form.

I used 320 saved up rolls to see my first rateup (I did get the other via one of the many 10% chances of bonus 5* as well)
Business as usual with this game's gacha.
Meanwhile I got the stellar scam and got Hismena ES, something I threw like 100+ rolls on and didn't get when she was released. If I have something now, then it's swords. Haven't used the selector yet. Maybe Mighty alter, for the pet, but it's kinda bad without having him, and I personally think he sucks gameplay-wise.
Also new ES girl seems to be way too good. Big buffs, and big damage. Only problem is if you wanna fight something that bans one of slash or magic, because she relies on both.
Was it really necessary to give her 200 power and 500 speed for free (featuring Yakumo)? Her zone ability is also just like Yakumo AS', but needs less MP spent and only loses 5 stacks per turn.
I frankly speaking expected a lot, because of who we are talking about. No way Aldo "alter" doesn't get something good. But yeah, this is extreme.
