Honestly one of biggest gripes with this game is how much more expensive it is to buy anything really compared to every other gacha game and with less content than other games I mean 70 dollars for 10,000 red and 2,000 blue is insane especially when basically translates into only like like 4 or 5- 10 draw summons and that it
Yeah, they DO NOT understand what Black Friday is at all. I tried to explain it to them that we are supposed to get discounts on anything that is out. But they either cant understand english or they just dont get it.
It is interesting for me to see, how much of data mine was correct: Now we know some of the things: - Next banner is Yuffie - Next UW is Yuffie - quality of life: Auto ready - quality of life: Guild shout - Quality of life: Overboost: so far we had a dot when a weapon could be overboosted. with 2.3 we can expect a distinction that weapon can be boosted with parts only or weapon + character. Also they will include a new filter option for that (that last one, I was hopping to see almost from day 1. So far the process was extremely painful - when you do couple of pulls, and then you go to upgrade weapons)
Honestly they should refund players that paid afterwards, and for those that didnt buy, reset them back to the 1/2 off price. It's not just lackluster, but also completely unfair. Absent that deal i agree that its not really a black friday *sale*. if noone bought any before the reset, whatever. but this is a HUGE advantage to people that got in on it. Noone should feel bad that got into it on time, but not everyone had the opportunity to be available for it. Just really bothers me that they would allow some people to reap the benefits and just gave a massive f u to everyone else. My ticket with them really isnt going anywhere, in fact they even phrase it as "Unfortunately, we are unable to process partial refunds or refunds for packs purchased at the former price."... the former price was cheaper than the latter price, wtf do you mean refund? lol i may have lost it on Applibots CS there. It's good to know they dont even listen to what im saying when im just asking for everyone else to get the same treatment. Thanks for the updates and your thoughts on stuff Ryder :)
I've only ever bought some small red crystal packs for 300 red crystal draws. This was a massive deal and I jumped on the 19.99 bundle but I'd never buy it at the new price.
Baha Rod was the death of Matt. Before that he still had Centipede which is what really powered him up. Centipede reduced the complexity of the Primal Behemoth fight but now Aerith, with her ever increasing toolbox, does everything Matt could do as a healer.
Yes, but Bahamut Rod is a limited weapon. Matt is a FTP friendly healer, whereas if you want to use Aerith to her fullest, you need to spend a lot more resources.
@erdnaavaip Thats understandable but my ob6 Baha Rod has more utility than my ob10 Centipede, so anyone who understands how Centipede changed the game jumped on Baha. Honestly Id love to see the metrics on how many people of the player base pulled for Baha. Im a minnow btw.
that materia support change would make event weapons MUCH more valuable since they are basically very easy to ob10 compared to banner weapons, i think the catch will be thats its similar to the branding system and the resources will be VERY limited
Definitely agree it would have been better to make them half off. Even though I decided to stop spending excluding season pass if it stayed that price I would have spent the 20 due to the value 😂
I’ve seen mistakes like this destroy a mobile game’s trust with spending players, that they cut off spending, which results in a game dying sooner than later. After all, why should spending players who missed out because of time zones, or at work have to spend 50% more on same bundle others got for the discount? Should had just left the mistake and taken it on the nose as a one off. Doubt they can afford to lose a lot of spenders what they have left.
I feel like Matt is the best F2P healer in the game, and Aerith is the best “Spender-Healer” in the game, what with all her Limited weapons and banners that specialize in heals. Hoping Matt’s banner can maybe move his needle back toward being more competitive.
True true, but even if you're F2P, if you had saved properly and pulled for Kamura/Bahamut, you can still be F2P and make Aerith work, but yeah Matt is definitely far more accessible and a great char. I hope they do him justice.
I need a Matt outfit just for options . I only have his free costumes so it’s becoming harder to use him in any serious content. With the more recent def r abilities on costumes - will be nice to see something like this for him 🤞
Looking forward to finally getting Titan! No way Yuffie gets another wind arcanum imo. I do believe that Yuffie will be the first banner up along with her ultimate weapon 👀
Yeah, they left money on the table by not discounting the packs on mobile too. I exclusively play on mobile, and if that pack with the weapon voucher was $19.99 I for sure would have bought it. Now? Nah fam…
I would have bought at least one pack if they were half price. Unfortunately, stuff resets at 1am here, so I never get advantage of Applebot's mistakes 😂
I really hope Vincent's outfit is really good I'll be saving up for him lol I need a good vincent set up and I missed his good banners cuz I had no gems lol
I didn't get Black Friday "deals" you got, I actually went right to game to buy when saw your video but then saw what you had for the 19.99 was 38.99 for me and your 38.99 was 74.99 for me on mobile and was disgusted and refused to buy anything at that point
Damn I was hoping for some info on new banners still including Aerith's UW. Unfortunately I'd have to get it through pity and am only 3 draws away, buuut don't have enough crystals yet and I don't if I'll get them by Wednesday when the current banners end 😕
Oh sheet that's crazy, i mean if you aren't F2P might be worth it to chase the pity since you're so close. Still hoping Aerith is on the next banner though!
@BodhiJMSRyder yeah bro, unfortunately I AM F2P 😅 normally I would just let it go, but since I'm really close and wouldn't have enough crystals to pull for the upcoming banners anyway, I want to at least get her UW since it's very OP
Applibot should have just took the L on this one. I've spent quite a bit this past year on the game mistake or not now would have been the time to pay it back.
I'm saving for Matt and Cid. Then I need one more Vincent outfit then I will have 3 for every character. I think Christmas they should give out 1000 red crystals as a gift with a weapon voucher and 10 premium tickets
Auto reset for co op sounds good but it could present its own issues. You probably don’t wanna set this if you don’t wanna waste stamina on players with no bonus - soo not everyone will have this set and will still see the same issue with afk players 😂

Thanks for bringing this datamine info! Helps me prepare for future banners. I never wanna miss a Cloud arcanum.
Cheers! Anytime my friend!
Yes, exactly that! Very helpful.

Yeah for sure, it could be a lot better
black friday pack fiasco shows how greedy and shameless they are. I would NEVER spend on an applibot game ever
Yeah these responses are why i feel they should put it back at 1/2 off haha
Definitely excited for the auto-ready and ob1 preview options.
yes!~! finally ob1 preview!
Yeah, they DO NOT understand what Black Friday is at all. I tried to explain it to them that we are supposed to get discounts on anything that is out. But they either cant understand english or they just dont get it.
Lol yeah cmon Applibot, BF = DISCOUNTS
I've been waiting for a good Seph lightning weapon basically since half-anni. Maybe Santa brings one for Christmas this year. 🤞🎁🎄
Hope so!
It is interesting for me to see, how much of data mine was correct: Now we know some of the things:
- Next banner is Yuffie
- Next UW is Yuffie
- quality of life: Auto ready
- quality of life: Guild shout
- Quality of life: Overboost: so far we had a dot when a weapon could be overboosted. with 2.3 we can expect a distinction that weapon can be boosted with parts only or weapon + character. Also they will include a new filter option for that

Ok sweet thank you for clarifying! Yeah pretty decent QoL for sure!
I would spend more money on this game if it were cheaper.
I’ve always wondered if they actually make more money by pricing it so high. I feel like they price out so many people.
Totally agreed.
I'm not really sure tbh, but i think having very good bundles on certain holidays to invite more customers would be smart for them.
Their pricing model is preying on whales. I think it’s actually makes them more money
If a ten pull was the same cost as a pack of Magic cards Id spend more as well. But instead its around 20$ for a ten pull. Insane.
Honestly they should refund players that paid afterwards, and for those that didnt buy, reset them back to the 1/2 off price. It's not just lackluster, but also completely unfair.

Np my friend, and i totally agree with you. They completely dropped the ball here.
I've only ever bought some small red crystal packs for 300 red crystal draws.

Hahaha nice work! Grats!

Ah i see what you mean
They need to bring the half-price packs back for mobile this isn't fair at all.
True that!!
after last year, and seeing they never really had "sales" pretty much gave up on spending, only when i "need" that costume :p
Ah yeah i feel ya there. I wish they did have better deals especially on holidays.
Definitely agree it would have been better to make them half off.
Even though I decided to stop spending excluding season pass if it stayed that price I would have spent the 20 due to the value 😂
Lol right!! They missed out!
I’ve seen mistakes like this destroy a mobile game’s trust with spending players, that they cut off spending, which results in a game dying sooner than later.

Should had just left the mistake and taken it on the nose as a one off. Doubt they can afford to lose a lot of spenders what they have left.
Totally agreed, they made a big mistake.
Technically 100% (double the price). It's ridiculous.
I feel like Matt is the best F2P healer in the game, and Aerith is the best “Spender-Healer” in the game, what with all her Limited weapons and banners that specialize in heals. Hoping Matt’s banner can maybe move his needle back toward being more competitive.

@@BodhiJMSRyderi got kamura one copy and baha rod at ob1 lol
F2p but always try to get a copy for utility weapons like kamura.
I'm going to start saving my money for when the FF14 game mobile comes out.
It looks super fun!
Tifa and Aerith are probably getting the New years banner - like Cloud and Sephiroth banner from this year
Ah that would be interesting for sure
I need a Matt outfit just for options . I only have his free costumes so it’s becoming harder to use him in any serious content. With the more recent def r abilities on costumes - will be nice to see something like this for him 🤞
Same here, i always just use his gear voucher costume tbh. Though it has worked well haha
Looking forward to finally getting Titan! No way Yuffie gets another wind arcanum imo. I do believe that Yuffie will be the first banner up along with her ultimate weapon 👀
Dang that would be crazy, but yeah i think Yuffie will definitely take part in the Titan fight for sure!
Yuffie, Seph and Ted are best candidates along with Aerith for EX2 most likely
@ Best case scenario is Vincent getting a magic wind arcanum to compliment his very powerful short barrel 😮
@@Baye1980 That would be sick
Yeah, they left money on the table by not discounting the packs on mobile too. I exclusively play on mobile, and if that pack with the weapon voucher was $19.99 I for sure would have bought it. Now? Nah fam…
Yep i feel ya mate
Ryder got kitty bombed!
Hahahah he tried to sabotage everything! You can see the gleam in his eyes, mischief was ever-present hahaha
@ indeed
I'm looking forward to Titan! Wondering what these new costumes are going to be like. Might lean towards Vincent as I only have his White Dog outfit.
Same here!!
Cloud wind arcanum? If he is a samurai + new katana to suprass thunder and fire im 100% pulling him.
That would be SICK
I would have bought them if it was half off on mobile... I mean, what the hell do people think Black Friday is for
RIGHT!!
I would have bought at least one pack if they were half price. Unfortunately, stuff resets at 1am here, so I never get advantage of Applebot's mistakes 😂
Aw dang sorry to hear mate!
They 100% should change that. I'd hate to be a new player and see that a outfit/weapon I joined to get was limited.
RIGHT!
I agree on shop thing, they are really greedy af
Hahaha
I had to get them at full price on mobile. Got Kamura to ob6. Worth it imo and still 270 weapon part exchange tix left.
Grats on Kamura bro!!! That's mega!
@BodhiJMSRyder You plan on doing the solo crash?
Maybe the 50% off prices were meant for cyber monday
i hope so!
Oh that's an interesting take
I really hope Vincent's outfit is really good I'll be saving up for him lol I need a good vincent set up and I missed his good banners cuz I had no gems lol
Cheers! I hope so too!
I like your cat pleace more 🎉
Hahahaha
I didn't get Black Friday "deals" you got, I actually went right to game to buy when saw your video but then saw what you had for the 19.99 was 38.99 for me and your 38.99 was 74.99 for me on mobile and was disgusted and refused to buy anything at that point
Yeah dude it really sucks because it was only avail on steam for a short time
I accidentally used weapon parts for a Red event weapon and Barrett’s enemy launcher (not the worst).
Yeah i feel your pain my friend
I did the same goddamn thing with my Aerith parts a few months ago on a junk event weapon
Right! It sucks!!!
I hope the wind banner will be good because I still don't have a wind arcanum 😊
Me neither! Well, i have Aerith's magic one, but no physical!
@BodhiJMSRyder yeah but with Titan surely being high PDEF it will most likely be magic wind
@@RedMonkeyification Makes sense
They should have made it discount left it like that did it for mobile to
Yep, i think so too.
Damn I was hoping for some info on new banners still including Aerith's UW. Unfortunately I'd have to get it through pity and am only 3 draws away, buuut don't have enough crystals yet and I don't if I'll get them by Wednesday when the current banners end 😕

@BodhiJMSRyder yeah bro, unfortunately I AM F2P 😅 normally I would just let it go, but since I'm really close and wouldn't have enough crystals to pull for the upcoming banners anyway, I want to at least get her UW since it's very OP
Applibot should have just took the L on this one. I've spent quite a bit this past year on the game mistake or not now would have been the time to pay it back.
Yep, that would have been the move for sure. Bad leadership.
I for sure would've bought the discounted ones. Now I spent 0$ instead. Not worth it for that steep price
Yep, see, that's my whole point. They lost business from customers who would have typically not given it to them.
I'm saving for Matt and Cid. Then I need one more Vincent outfit then I will have 3 for every character. I think Christmas they should give out 1000 red crystals as a gift with a weapon voucher and 10 premium tickets
That would be awesome
Auto reset for co op sounds good but it could present its own issues. You probably don’t wanna set this if you don’t wanna waste stamina on players with no bonus - soo not everyone will have this set and will still see the same issue with afk players 😂
Hahaha true that bro, you can't solve em all right
4:11 Waves
=)
I was going to buy those 2 packs but not at the full price. There loss.
Yep 100% their loss
Wasn't even a "deal" absolute crap for anyone on mobile, I would've bought if actually a deal
Haha
Nvm I seen Cid is coming out lmao
Yeii let's go next character!!!
