Yes, family comes first but from a business standpoint the apology and accountability toward the inconsistency is needed. You can only get away with this kind of excuse so many times at a job before they eventually replace you. Up until now Octo has been seen as a consistent and reliable creator, although this is no longer the case. As a day 1 player I've struggled to maintain interest in the game myself so I totally get it and I sense there's probably a little bit of this at play too. "If they wanted to they would". I still see Octo as the best in terms of quality but I would just be disappointing myself if I were to continue seeing him as the go to content creator for ever crisis.
The best costume to have come out for Tifa yet. I wanted to save all of my crystals for Cid, but I caved in watching your video. Why? It's too good. Used only 16k crystals to get it btw. I consider that real luck. I have most of Tifa's elemental weapons ob8-10, it's insane to have 30% more damage or any and each of them. Holy crap. Summons included? She's my new Aerith tbh. Happy I'll be able to keep saving for Cid, unless I pull for the next banner which will be Vincent earth... Which would be great, because I have his release outfit, White Dog OB5 (close to 6) and Chiron OB10. Lots of things to consider, but I do want Cid's release outfit, I know that for sure!
Best wishes to you & your family, and a speedy recovery to your daughter! Being a dad is amazing, but does have the occasional scary moments like this. This game is fun, and your videos are great, but family always comes first. Happy New Year!
86k cristals in OB9 on Tifa and 5 on Aerith ❤ and got the UW on the last pull... Probably went way too deep but who cares happy new year and all the best to you ❤❤
Now you might get a couple extra synth mats you will never use or a different emblem that nobody will see because most people auto accept and spam exit multiplayer battles. Like seriously can we talk about the trash pay to win event rewards in this game lmao! Gacha games are supposed to be about dopamine rushes but it's like who gives a sht about the whale content since the rewards are so dumb. Like I don't even waste my time with the crash events. I can do without the couple hundred crystals and some emblem I won't ever look at.
Hey Octo I just came back to this game and was wondering if you got any video I could watch as a beginner that's relevant (or maybe make one of those too... idk?) Nice to see you again!
Hey this is premium account to watch content!@@SmellyOctopus I pulled the daffodil wep but I didn't get the skin / armor that's on the banner. How do I get that? Can't see a banner for it!
Happy New Year Octo! Thank you for communicating with us and I really hope you and your family are doing well and that you have an excellent year. In regards to this banner, I just spent everything I had. I do feel like the Cloud banner and everything else that came out was a trap to leave everyone drained for this banner and I fell for the Cloud banner lol. I think Cid is coming out so that’s probably gonna be my time to save but aside from that these limited banners (and the constant release of banners) are making me sad as a f2p.
I really feel like Apllibot is really exploiting the Limited Banner. II heard they actually went into the red this past year. While I understand they are trying to make money and they have been generous with the blue crystals, they need to turn their attention to low spender a bit more. While the treasure hunt pass is a good deal, it is about the main one most will spend their money on. They should give random 50% off on Red Crystal days and maybe offer more low cost deals.
Hi Octo. I hope you and your family will be doing a lot better soon. I also had a really bad 2024. I don't play any of the games you currently play (not since KH Union X) but I just wanted to stop by and check in. 😌 Happy New Year!
Thanks for checking in even though you don't play anything I'm doing I really appreciate that! Hope the new year treats you better and things change for the good!
Happy New Year!!! I caved to get Tifa's outfit. I really like it on her. I have too many Aerith's outfits. The banner was nice to me with stamp luck, golds and even got Tifa's Ult. XD
My man, I just hope your daughter is doing good. I wish her the quickest full recovery. Much love to you & your family Octo & all the best wishes for the New Year. ❤
This banner definitely bit me. I was planning to go all in (literally all 90k blues if needed) for the UW and got it fairly early. Getting the two weapons to OB6 though...took me 4.5k pages and exactly all of my blue gems. Not a single 5* guaranteed was one of the banner weapons past page 2. Ugh. At least I was already mentally prepared to spend 90k for the UW if needed or it might've have pushed me to quit or take a break lol
Have been waiting to understand what tifas weapon does as I just spent on mag wind cloud… judging from the comments I might need to use up some crystals
Yes Oct, please dont explain yourself for taking a break, expected or unexpected. At the end of the day, you are human just like us and healthy breaks are great for longevity! Also of course, the family comes above all! Happy to hear things are progressing upward for you. Prayers to you and your family. Cheers to a happy and healthy 2025. Thank you for all that you do!❤❤
Happy new year! I’m glad things are getting better and I hope your daughter has a full recovery soon! It’s nice to see you again because I can really use a f2p perspective! I managed to get her weapon to ob2 and I can potentially use weapon parts to ob4 it. Wondering if it’s worth it to ob4 it?
Glad to see you on, glad to hear things are improving. Looking forward to hearing more positive updates and seeing the content when you're able to get it done. No pressure ❤ Been here since the Union Cross days, I'm not planning on dipping any time soon LOL
Happy New Year Octo! I’ve legit been a follower since the good ole KHUX days with OP Kairi medals 😎. Please don’t apologize about being mia. You were busy being an awesome Octo dad! I do hope you and your family have an awesome 2025, especially from beginning to end! 😊✌️
I finally spent real money on this game. I had only paid for season pass for the last 10-12 months which doesn't bust the bank too much. The NY shop deals the power jump tempted me so I spent Xmas money. I got OK luck but ultimately feel like spending more than season pass is unnecessary.
Applibot has been especially greedy this holiday season especially with that $160 CAD reskin cloud outfit. I guess losing millions this year they have to suck the players wallets dry before the inevitable "end of service" notice in a couple months.
Hey, Octo, happy New Year to you to! 🎉 My honest opinion: both banners are bait to make us blow crystals before half anni and I am not stoked pulling for either one and seriously contemplating skipping both (except for an Aerith weapon copy). This one looks great on paper imo... Until you realise that only her fire mag is the modern 940% damage weapon with 2.1 conditional. Her wind, ice and water are older, lightning is limited and earth non-existant. And you have no knowledge of what elemental weapon she gets in the future or when. That means that from the start the theoretical potential of this costume is way bigger than what can be achieved in reality, bc the full theoretical potential atm is 940% weapon for all elements on both phys and mag, which is not possible to achieve in any reasonable timeframe even with her banner churn out rate, and her current starting point compared to that theoretical potential is pretty weak. Yes, it will be good for multi element fights. Yes, if you get to OB6, you might get enough potency to outdamage the modern arcanums that come with arcanum plus elemental potency. But I'm betting you'll see the difference between Shell Knuckles and say, Motor Drive even on a supercharged setups. And it's here that I feel we're being short-changed. Because you're dumping quite a few resources to OB6 into smth that will never reach it's true potential even if it outdamages sh*t right now, though I appear to be the only one bothered by this. That said, as one of those that is currently in no position to go further than a page on this, I think I'm better off skipping this and just collecting your regular arcanums over time. And happily saving for half anni 🙂 Oh, and getting a copy of Aerith weapon as it's one of those Kamura look alikes that might come in handy, and possibly not bothering with any of the outfits.
Am I only one who sees the costumes have similarities to FF10, right? I noticed it last year with Cloud and Sephiroth and now Tifa. Just some slight similarities like the arm sleeves on Tifa. The full neck collar/scarf on Cloud. Cloud = Auron Sephiroth = Jecht Tifa = Yuna Aerith = idk
your children and your private life matter much more than a poor game and streaming, it's very kind of you to care about your community, but nothing is more important than your own private life and especially your children. I wish you a very happy new year 2025 and especially health and happiness for yours. Thank you for your immense sympathies and may your daughter recover quickly❤❤❤
Is it worth it to pull until tifas costume? Coz I really like motordrive I got maxed out and this outfit will be like an arcanum right? So she could be my physical wind dps?
Also forgot to mention - you have no need to say sorry. Family comes first, esp your child. She’s your priority.
Yes, family comes first but from a business standpoint the apology and accountability toward the inconsistency is needed.

7:30 Forgot to mention +30% Fire from materia linked to the second Omnislash slot

Good to see you Salas! Yea I need to find time to make one of those. Any questions you have specifically?

Hope your situation progressively gets better, welcome back🍻
Thanks! It's getting better every day.
You have made me love the game so much I have even become a dolphin for the game, happy new year, but yes your daughter should be your main focus.
My man, I just hope your daughter is doing good. I wish her the quickest full recovery. Much love to you & your family Octo & all the best wishes for the New Year. ❤
Much appreciated! She's getting better everyday.
Happy to see you back
Happy New Year. Kinda unfortunate you missed Cloud Christmas banner
Yea that one was a bit rough. I had no time to record during his banner.
@@SmellyOctopus understandable. Hope your family is doing better

The closer to ob6 the better for stats and that high potency.
You can wait till you have enough to ob6 all at once.
Glad to see you on, glad to hear things are improving. Looking forward to hearing more positive updates and seeing the content when you're able to get it done. No pressure ❤
Been here since the Union Cross days, I'm not planning on dipping any time soon LOL
Thank you! Things are slowly getting better and I'm working on getting back to normal content soon.
I’ve been waiting for this 🔥
Welcome back!
Happy newyear and hopefully your daughter will fully recover soon!
No worries man family first. 🙏🏽 Happy new year :)
Happy New Year to you too! 😊
Happy New Year Octo! I’ve legit been a follower since the good ole KHUX days with OP Kairi medals 😎. Please don’t apologize about being mia. You were busy being an awesome Octo dad! I do hope you and your family have an awesome 2025, especially from beginning to end! 😊✌️
Thank you! Family always comes first.
That's a long time being here through all these gachas! 😊
Gear vouchers on first two pages is the trade off... I forget if the other banners were like that, though.
poyo Happy Newyear ❤🎉
Happy new year man
Do what you need to do. Always appreciate your videos.
no brainer 1st page and i select tifa outfit.. i stop pulling any tifa outfit untill 50% arcanum
Some believe that Tifa’s weapon is an indication that arcanums are going to increase from 35 percent soon. What is your opinion on that?
Yea I thought the same thing as soon as I saw it.
Must! Have! These! Costumes!
I finally spent real money on this game.
I had only paid for season pass for the last 10-12 months which doesn't bust the bank too much.
The NY shop deals the power jump tempted me so I spent Xmas money.

I still dont get what the exploit damage does. Can someone explain it to me please? :(
Am I only one who sees the costumes have similarities to FF10, right? I noticed it last year with Cloud and Sephiroth and now Tifa. Just some slight similarities like the arm sleeves on Tifa. The full neck collar/scarf on Cloud.
Cloud = Auron
Sephiroth = Jecht
Tifa = Yuna
Aerith = idk
my daily dose of octo is only via videos
80k in the banner. OB10 Tifa, OB4 Aerith, OB6 Christmas Vincent....surprisingly.
I got really lucky, but yeah, they should put more weapons there, kinda rough.
i got ob6 tifa ob1 aerith tifa uw finish page 2 in 33k crystals hot lucky on this banner
your children and your private life matter much more than a poor game and streaming, it's very kind of you to care about your community, but nothing is more important than your own private life and especially your children. I wish you a very happy new year 2025 and especially health and happiness for yours. Thank you for your immense sympathies and may your daughter recover quickly❤❤❤
How yall have so many crystals im broke
We skip banners of characters we dont play.
Costume its a must cuz its too good but the weapon u cant ob6 guaranteed even if u choose all slot so better not
Is it worth it to pull until tifas costume? Coz I really like motordrive I got maxed out and this outfit will be like an arcanum right? So she could be my physical wind dps?
Yea this costumes makes all her elemental setup relevant.
Why do you review the OB10 like anyone is going for that? If they are going for OB10 they won't watch your review... They don't care about money lol.
Love the vid ❤ Add me for co op missions. As a newbie i cant progress or even find players for missions.
