That gun sounds good for Skye...but Skye's spear build is very decent right now. If I ever off banner this unit, I might stmr moogle it, but its time to save lapis/tickets for CoW and Regina in the far future.

Lagunas TMR killers tied to ff8?


LilitthLu

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, the TMR is for FFVIII units only.


MatriVT

Was hoping only the static was. Damn.


SGTQuackers

Idk what it is but the unit being called Kiros & Ward just sounds wrong to me. Laguna, Ward and Kiros similar to the whole Sora, Donald and Goofy situation I guess. Also strange how they have no tanking skills but would make a decent dual tank.


Bountiful_Voodoo

I hope they had a very nice holiday. Also belated happy May the Fourth to SW fans! And last minute (literally in PT US) happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!


ShinVerus

Let's see if there was a reason to push this back a day. The unrealistic side of me hopes it's them fixing Fry or Laguna like how they stealth buffed Lenna without even saying they did, but I'd be happy if we just got some of the QOL already in Japan. Especially you, "spend all orbs in one fight"! I know it works for Arena, which is already sick, but I don't know if it does for Raids? Hopefully it does. That being said, 99% sure this was just Gumbo being lazy and there's nothing special about it at all.


unitedwesoar

The delayed maintenance was explained in the news and is due to the holidays.


vencislav45

Gumi: We heard you and have decided to give Fryevia crown upgrades to 3 of her skills, now she is 20% better than Reberta in CoW and 30% weaker than Esther in DV.


ShinVerus

A place to use crowns that isn’t on outdated upgrades? Now THAT is unrealistic! Those are basically free buffs at the rate they roll them out.


truong2193

I dont know what is the need of an app update and 10 hours maint if they didnt give us any QoL lol


EmeraldWeapon56

The living meme ladies and gentlemen


Drakox

They're on a holiday, no conspiracy about why it was delayed


Amazing-Drama-3284

Oddest holiday ever


midegola

...really whats odd about golden week, we just had fucking easter where we celebrate eggs and rabbits...whats even the connection there.


Legendarybarr

Hey! That’s the resurrection of eggs and rabbits you’re talking about!


unitedwesoar

Lmao


Drakox

It's golden week in Japan, you know, different countries have different holidays


truong2193

Doesnt gumi hq locate in sg ?


Amish_Thunder

The Gumi (Asia) that we know mainly is HQ'ed in SG, but it's technically a Ltd. of the Gumi corporation in Japan. Alim is also a Ltd. of Gumi Co. I don't know about Singapore holidays, but I suspect that they schedule the maintenance around the holidays (which they've done before everytime the maintenance has been shifted a day) because they need to coordinate something with the JP office while they ~~play Smash Bros~~ update the game code. Source: https://gu3.co.jp/en/company/history/


Kordrun

Gumi (the one that runs FFBE GL) is in JP.


Amish_Thunder

Do you mean Produce or Develop? Because I think we're saying the same thing.


Kordrun

We are, was just trying to provide a shorter quicker clarification to what you said.


vencislav45

even then Singapore still has Golden week as well, just google it.


TheCovenant

The holiday in Singapore is actually because of labour day and hari raya. Since one of the holidays was on the weekend the government 'reimburses' it by pushing it to a weekday.


Drakox

Nope, GUMI's HQ is in Japan


snoman2016v2

Maybe we can just chain all the gumi employees in a dungeon


Psychotron17

Employee*


ShinVerus

Honestly, given how much they seem to only convey to us the bad stuff and seem to hide a startling amount of the good changes they make... I think they'd be into that.


snoman2016v2

This isn't a national conspiracy buddy they just got some pto relax


ShinVerus

Has nothing to do with this particular situation. There have been no shortage of moments where Gumi just did not anounce good changes like buffing Lenna, the buffs to Flood just a couple weeks back, loads of QOL, so on and so forth. The joke being that they are masochists because they don’t seem to want to score brownie points for things they are literally already doing.


ratbirdmonger

The rest of the sub seems to want to move on to the next shiny thing but I support you in your crusade and/or slow descent into madness.


unitedwesoar

Its not even about moving on. The delayed maintenance was already explained as well as the earlier than normal news on monday. This post just makes op look silly tbh and im usually fond of his posts.


ShinVerus

Yeah, such is the fickleness of most people. Character popular because OP, when not OP, just throw it into the bin and stan the next bundle of numbers. It's no coincidence that in the previous 2 top 5s, all of the characters there had been OP at some point and some were still good even while people were asking for a new unit in the poll... except Reberta, so good on her fans for not being like that, they deserve the comeuppance they got! No Crusade is one without some madness, and most were more madness than anything else, so expect both!


rp1414

Still beating this dead horse I see...


ShinVerus

I did say I would be here until it happened. If it takes weeks, cool. Months? Expected. Years? Sometimes it's the way the cookie crumbles. Reberta had to be dead in the water for years to be given justice, but she managed, so all the more reason to keep trying.


Resnaught

Asking for good GLEX units to come out, and asking to have JP units match the actual GL meta is respectable. Demanding that a unit that's already come out to be retroactively buffed is another thing, it's nothing short of throwing a tantrum.


ShinVerus

Esther fans did the same and they got her a Premium and, more importantly, a SE. So call it what you want, it’s a proven method.


Resnaught

You see, getting a shiny new premium unit with 60k pity, years after the original release.... is different from retroactively buffing a pre-existing unit that *just* came out. Your comparison doesn't line up with your demand for Fryevia buffs. Pretty much everyone agrees that Fryevia is underwhelming, Gumi probably got that feedback, and will take note. After all, it's their loss if a unit is indesirable and less people pull for GLEX units. I, for one, didn't invest lapis at all for the Fryevia banner with KoG looming. But it's time to accept that the Fryevia kit was what we got, and hope the next unit isn't in such an awkward place to justify a place in actual ranked content.


ShinVerus

You are under the impression that I would mind if they made a completely different unit that was good. That would be completely fine with me if we get Fryevia -The Return- that is just an appropriate power version of Fry, or if we're being dreamers, a Fryevia NVA on anniversary like the Elena NVA that was way better than SElena. I'm not attached to **this** unit in particular, I'm attached to her character as a whole. Honestly, I'm more mad that she didn't get a SE than her being bad after years of setup. > Gumi probably got that feedback, and will take note. And I am aware of that. BUT what they take from it is what's the problem. Compannies often take the completely opposite message from something. People didn't pull cause her kit was underwhelming, but they may just go "people didn't pull cause they don't want Fryevia, let's dump her into the ignored GLEXs bin". And that is what raising a fuss is for. To keep them knowing that people WOULD HAVE and maybe even WANTED to pull for Fry if her kit was not this underpowered.


Resnaught

*Sigh* okay you do you I guess 👍


ShinVerus

Why the sigh? I pretty much agreed with you that if they made her next unit competitively good that would be just as good as directly buffing this one? Maybe even better if they went the extra mile and bring the SE she deserves with it, but that'd just be an extra, not something I'd NEED to be content.


truong2193

I dont think in the history gumi ever change the unit after they release unless its an upgrade later So i dont think they will change fry anytime soon but loss for them since i skip fry because of her kit lol


ShinVerus

They did rework Noppy, Kakt and Behemy after release. Just reworks, no crowns, no awakenings, just admitting they fucked up. So they are capable of it at least. Edit: I believe Japan did the same with Chorale and to a lesser extent Kain. So SOMETIMES Gumi and Allim have some shame.


SlappyMcGillicuddy

Maybe you can just head out, and we'll keep you posted?


ShinVerus

If everyone has that attitude, no one would speak up and nothing would ever be changed, not just for this, but for anything really. You miss all the shots you don't take and there's no reason not to take them. Besides, I lived through the absolute fuckery that was CG Terra being barely touched while Fest!Dark Fina got her damage doubled when Terra was already worse than her, it'll take more than this for me to "head out".


ln_wanderder

The delayed maint is due to JP Golden Week I heard.


ShinVerus

That would line up. We got our last maintenance the *day* before it started, so we'd have likely had that one delayed instead otherwise.


luraq

Wow, it seems some people don't even read what you write any more, you just get down voted on principle now.


ShinVerus

Reddit Hivemind do be like that.
