FFBE Podcast

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.

This is literally an episode entirely dedicated to talking about Madam Edel and all aspects of her as a unit. TL;DR she's the best unit in the game in every way imaginable.

Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy the show!

In this episode we discuss the latest evolution in the Onion: Awakened Onion Knight. 

He's pretty strong overall, especially with his ability to essentially puree an onion (and your enemies). He basically just does more damage than his previous form, is able to now imperil as well as buff your team, and he has a crap load of innate elemental resistance to Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. Oh, and did we mention that both is TMR and STMR are amazing for dual wielding units

Hein is ... well ... OK. He's insanely good if you need resistance to fire, ice, or lightning. He's the only unit so far to give 150% resistance to those elements as an ability! In this case he is awesome. If you don't need that, he's just OK as a mage. We gave him an overall score of 10 spoopy skelingtons /10.

Xande is great because he is free, has a decent TMR/STMR, and he can solo carry you through the event missions once you get him.

Next, the continuation of the Valentines Day event has a nifty little Materia to pick up.

Finally Mini and Wilm dream about villains getting CG movies, making specific reference to the old bully of the arena: Cloud of Darkness.

Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoy the show!

In this episode we discuss both the continuation of last weeks King Mog event and latest valentines day event featuring 4 new 5 star units.

The continuation of the King Mog event comes in with the standard exploration and ... MORE FARMING!? why do you hate us Gumi?! In order to craft the equipment, we have to farm out the materials from a newly added mission tacked onto the explorations. More farming in an already heavy week... it's going to be a tough one.

We have the lovely and beautiful Sieghard & Ignacio, the Master and student Sakura and Ayaka, Sweet Nichol (he's O.K I guess), and Sweet Luka.

Now all the units are amazing in their own right, but Sweet Luka is bringing us one of the most insane TMRs they've released! Those Chocolate earrings pack so much into one TMR that both of us are willing to spend a Prism Moogle to get them.

Hope you all enjoy the episode! Thanks for listening

In this episode we discuss the new units of the week.

Paladin Cecil literally breaks the tank meta with his multicast-able tank abilities. He's no longer tied down to choosing what he wants to do on a turn... he can literally do it all! Plus he's insanely strong with an absolutely fantastic TMR/STMR Combo. He will be among the best for a very long time!

And did we mention that amazing CG LB? Damn they crushed it. It's super true to his character, super cool, and even makes perfect sense with his existing kit. An amazing job by the creators of that animation.

Rosa is an amazing free white mage for those that don't have one yet. She does everything you need from a white mage: heal, remove status, AoE revive and AoE reraise. She's amazing for anyone who needs a AoE Raise/Reraise white mage.

Cid is useless. Even his TMR is useless.

Finally, Steel Castle makes it's return! Don't know about you guys, but we have a lot of equipment to enhance.

Hope you all enjoy the episode! Thanks for listening

In this episode, we talk about the new 2 star Bahamut and how awesome he is!

We also go over our preliminary thoughts on Blue Mage Fina and the high hopes for the blue mage class. We also discuss our early feelings on Season 3 of FFBE (why is Fina in a bad porn?).

Finally, Mini gives us a rant on arena limitations ... why must you make us suffer gumi!?

Thanks for listening! Hope you enjoy the show.

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.

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!

Hess King Lasswell is here and his mirror of equity has ascended even further beyond! ... Basically he does more damage than before. His TMR is ridiculously strong, his STMR is perfect for anyone using Mirror of Equity abilities (and it's a strong as hell katana), and Lasswell's CG animation has us excited!

This is the first unit in a long while that's made Mini expend his deep pool of tickets, all for his boy Lasspoop.

We also go over the free units which are being released and their free TMR we are being given and why they are trash tier and shouldn't even be in the game.

Finally, the newest additions to the Defiance of Fate trials are here with an amazing ring, that is, if you're strong enough to win.

Hope you enjoy!

We discuss the Witcher series as as a whole. Was it amazing? Did it suck (definitely not). Who were our favourite characters and favourite episodes. It's all in here.

Hope you enjoy!
