I just noticed that! Fixed now. I think the wiki article was under the JP name of the medal, and now that we have the US one they changed the wiki data right under me. Rude!
"Casual Roxas" is being released alongside Illustrated Xion (this week), HD Axel (next week), and the Roxas Key Arts thingy (which I will never see IRL). I think they're out in JP, you might recognize the medal when you see it! I love how Roxas's OXIII medal and his casual Twilight Town medal are both so ANGRY. Xigbar was right, he's got a real good glare.
I am incredibly tempted to get JP!KHUX too. Compared to the US version jewels are raining down over there, and the JP deals are much more generous... I only started playing like three weeks ago but I'm already a miserly curmudgeon about it. And don't get me wrong, I'd still play the global one. I just am tempted to also be playing a version where I don't feel so much like a poor child peering wistfully through a toy shop window. It's killing me that I BARELY HAVE ENOUGH JEWELS FOR ONE PULL and then there's I!Xion, and Casual Roxas, and someday maybe an I!KH2Kairi, because holy cow... I want to save up for her a lot, but for now I'm going to hoard until Roxas is released, should be 12/30, because I won't live without him.
.......I JUST HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT ROXAS........
Also I need him because I don't have a good AOE speed attacker. My speed game is underpowered. Timeless River Sora and Lea are both single target and that is NOT sufficient to get me Larxene B.
/speaks in tongues to anyone not currently playing this game
Ahhh, so cute <3 If he is around, I don't have him, which suuuucks. I've only been playing a few months, though, so it's entirely possible I just missed him and he hasn't come back. My HD black coat Roxas is my best dude, though, SO STRONG. Also grumpy, though less obviously so than normal blackcoat and that TT one. (I... pretty much only have a presentable power deck, everything else still sucks. Getting there slowly, though!) Also oh man Lea??? I WANT A LEA, lemme guess, event medal? Ugh, gimme. *grabbyhands* Still, if I could get me a TT Roxas, I'd only be one Roxas away from a Roxas-only deck, that would be AMAZEBALLS. Probably have to be a starlight deck, given colours... *ponders*
Yeah, that's pretty much why I'm in JPUx! I did start with EN, but... more shinies! I was intending to do both, too, but it turns out I don't have enough brain for both, and I'm honestly having more fun with JP. (The fact that I'm in a party full of Japanese people, who are therefore around more often when I am - I'm in AU, it's only a two hour time difference - does help, haha.)
Also, if you do want to play, feel free to join my party! If you need me to I can translate, though I have a feeling you know enough Japanese you'll be okay? But I'm not sure where I got that impression, hahaha. Anyway, we're in foxes, which is the second-highest ranked union each week, so you might not want to - I just picked foxes because I like foxes! - and we're a pretty small party, but two of my party members are super hardcore awesomely strong players, so we frequently get into top 300, even though the party philosophy is pretty much 'have fun, do whatever you like, (but sometimes we'll ask you to use your lux up at certain times, if you're able, because teamwork)'. Currently fighting the weekend raid boss, but I'll get you the party name when I'm done, I can't remember it off the top of my head. It's open access, so you can join or not join as pleases you. :3
I saw HD Roxas!! I WANT HIMMMM. And arghhh Dual End sounds like an amazing special. Lea is pretty decent too though. It might be because I pulled a boosted version with +1000 atk, but he has a pretty good multiplier and his special is 0 gauges so I can spam him all I like! If he were multi-target and guilted (four dots, boo) I would be owning this game. He was released globally with an Isa who has the same qualifications, but I was young and foolish then, and I threw away like six Isas because the "slightly powerful hits" descriptor tricked me into thinking he was useless.
A Roxas-only deck is the most perfect thing ever conceived. He does have a little of everything coloriwse, and Starlight's multipliers are high across the board, so it's not bad. You wouldn't be able to max it, though, because according to the chart I made (YEP I'M OBSESSED) Starlight mostly wants upright medals and Roxas is mostly reversed medals.
I could probably get by. :3 I'll poke you if I get around to it! For the next couple of days I have to really grind in global though. I think the disadvantage of having picked up the game and plowed through during holiday season 0 AP events and crazy lux-dropping raid bosses is that now I'm at an artificially high level/quest, but I'm not really all that powerful because I haven't been through enough events to collect lots of good medals or build up my Nova number. I'm completely stuck getting Larxene B, and she's only available for the next 2 days. And I'm on the story quest where you fight Master Ava and she always murders me on her second turn.
I (obviously) picked the fox myself, and it's consistently the top union in global, by coincidence. I don't care -- at least in global the rewards are usually just some exp medals and moogles and stuff, and who cares. It'd be fun to play with you!! As soon as I guilt Larxene B...
HD ROXAS IS SOOOO GREAAAT :D :D :D He's strong to begin with, but then I managed to use my Micky&Brooms and then magic mirrors so he's gilded at 150% and killing everything. Eeeeverything. (Particularly with my all-power deck - I've got Illus. Kairi, HD Roxas, and then Illus. Cloud, so by the end of the first three medals I'm at 3x attack and the enemy is -3x power def. It's amaaaaazing. |D) I LOVE 0-ability attacks, though, oh man now I want Lea even mooooore. Oh geeze, AND Isa?? Ffff. *flailyhands*
Ugh, that's true, I forgot about the upright/reversed bullshit. Hmmmmmm. Maybe the moogle blade, I haven't levelled mine up enough to know if it's upright or reversed bonuses. *ponders* Or the Cinderella world blade, I don't have that one yet but given how the last two have been red-green and blue-green, it should be blue-red, which works with his medal types...
Ahahahahaha oh man I know that feeling. I was like. Level 80-something within my first week of playing JPUx, and I had absolutely fucking nothing in my deck ahahaha. I happened to join just as the anniversary event was on, though, so I was able to get some decent early-game type medals before that ended, which was super handy. :3 I'm guessing Nova is the EN translation of Boost? That came out after I moved over, so I dunno, but it seems likely. Also oh man, you're already up to there? I think I played ENUx for like, two months or so, and I got stuck on Cerberus. (With JP I tend to forget to do story quests because omg gotta level up medals! Gotta do events! So many things happening!! But I think that'll probably cool down after new years, less cultural event things happening. Up to 400-sommat now, though! And I've almost maxed out my levels um. >>;;; Raaaaaaids~)
...oh man yeah I need to get more Larxene B medals. /o\ And this other Christmas event that ends in less than 24 hours but has CID AND YUFFIE AND AERITH. But the missions keep crashing my game - I'm playing on an iPad 2 and it's not... really... up to all the graphics - so I keep getting frustrated and doing other things. ^^;; We're on AP0 this week too, which is great. Though honestly we're on AP0 so often I'm always unpleasantly surprised when we're not - what is this bullshit, that medal-gathering mission costs HOW much?? I am a spoiled JPUx player, I admit it, it's the best. *laughs*
Foxes are the best! :D That's why I chose fox, too, just ended up being first in EN, but second in JP. Who knows why, not me~ Our party name is 恋人の部屋, our leader is ミヤビ, play style is そこそこ, and we currently only have 6 people in our party - that should be enough info to find it, I think? My username on there is Turul, for reasons that have to do with not knowing I'd actually be... talking to people... when playing it.
omgggg that is an amazing lineup. I'm so jealous! And global doesn't have M&B so I'll probably never guilt some of these guys... My poor HD Sora will never live up to his potential!
I know JP has a few more keyblades than global and I've only looked at the global ones so far. Moogle blade is red (reversed), blue (upright), red (reversed), blue (reversed), red (upright). So you could get HD Roxas in one of the red reversed slots, and regular/SP Roxas will work well in the blue reversed, but you're still missing out on a lot. Roxas is more blues and greens than reds. Starlight does seem best in the way of colors. Although I'm not sure what your Roxas medals are! For all I know you have three HD Roxases, because JP is unfair.
I'm level 208 and quest *425ish. I'm not kidding, those crazy omega spider raid bosses would give me a level every time I fought one. I made a few pulls getting HD Sora, so even though it cost me all of my jewels (and $5) I did end up with a halfway decent deck that helped me get through. And now they're running an event where they drop a million tier 1 medals so you can guilt/max those, so that's neat. Still... I was trying to get Divine Rose and I'm like, 20 quests away, but stupid Master Ava is holding me up!
lol that is exactly what I was like between the Thanksgiving 0AP event and the Christmas 0AP event. "What?? It's 30AP?!" Fortunately it was only like five days so it didn't cramp my style too much. Still, this is a huge plus for grinding out these stupid medals. I need like 50 of them just to get a decent guilt %. How do people max these things?! Are randomly generated guilt %s also better in JP, you monster?
That's an adorable party name. I'll check it out when I get there! It wouldn't have occurred to me to not use Roman characters in my name in JP, since they love Roman letters so much. I want more shiniiiies
It's so great! ;; I managed to get the Illus. Kairi when I was pulling for HD Roxas, and somehow or other I got a +1000atk version, I don't even know. It's the only one of those I've managed to get, but eeee! Yeah, M&B is kind of the best, though they're really slow to get unless you pay for premium time (which I can't even if I wanted to, since I don't live in Japan and iTunes is stupid).
Yeah, I've got HD, regular, and - SP I think is the ice-cream one? It's the ice cream one. So two blues and a red. Eventually I'll be able to gild them all and have a shiny shiny keyblade, but might take a while, haha.
Oh man those spiders, what even are those. I'm still levelling up two or three times a weekend, with the 30milHP weekend raid bosses, even though it's now literally millions of LUX between levels. I don't have HD Sora yet,but he seems pretty great! :D Radiant Rose is nice, but because of how I mainly only have power medals, Power of Hero is my best blade in pure attack numbers, though Rock Splendour is probably the best overall, because of my Kairi-Roxas-Cloud lineup. (I don't remember the EN names, sorry! ^^;;)
Hahahaha yeaaaah. Particularly the Fantasia Mickey quest, it's like 36AP and whaaaaaat??? Particularly since you need like twenty billion of the damn things, uuuugh. One day I'll have evolved enough of my medals to 6* that I can build up a stash. One daaaaaaaay. ;; The generated gilt isn't any better BUT during certain events, when you get AP0, half-cost medal levelling etc, they boost the minimum % up a bit, so you're a bit more likely to get a decent number. But also magic mirrors everywhere, all the time. (Well, not really, but it feels like that. Events generally have ~5 in their event boards, and the colosseum has a bunch each month, too.) So for your expensive medals you really only need to roll once, and then use mirrors to make up the difference, rather than attempting to reroll a bunch of times.
Hee, yes! I joined it pmuch at random, but it's filled with nice people, so it's worked out really well. :3 Haha, it's more that it's weird to be called Turul, that's not my name, I'm Tyger! But I also don't want to change my display name, so I put up with the weird. Yesss, shinies are the beeeeest :D
I love those boosted attack medals. They are life-saving. I only got Lea but I love him so much. If only I could guilt him, ever. :( I guess it's good to know even in JP they aren't quite rolling in guilted medals. I have seen some pretty hilarious images from JP... like Pence.
SP is the ice cream one! I assume it stands for "sea-salt popsicle", although in Axel's case I keep referring to it as "super pervert" because look at it. I can't unsee it. Roxas and Xion are both like, yay, ice cream! yay, friendship! in theirs, and then... there's Axel.
lol, they might not even exist in global. There's Starlight, the three you get in the early worlds that are attribute-specific, and then there's Olympia from the Coliseum and Moogle O Glory from obviously the moogle challenge quest thingy. I think that's it. I would guess Radiant Rose = Divine Rose from Beast's Castle, which I don't have yet, boo. Power of Hero might be Olympia? But Olympia has more speed slots than power slots. Rock Splendor coooould be Treasure Trove, the all-power keyblade from the Dwarfs-- YOU KNOW WHAT, IT DOESN'T MATTER LOL
omg between this week's "Nova Fest" avalanche of tier 1 medals and the Christmas Sora event, I used up all my stupid Fantasia Mickeys by like, Wednesday, and then I was like, "......uhhh, I don't have enough medal space for all the 5* medals I need for guilting + rerolling..." Today I restocked somewhat on Fantasia Mickeys but I still have a pile of Selphies and Christmas Soras because I ran out of Merryweather. orz
--WAIT, THE FANTASIA MICKEY QUEST IS 36AP???? HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO SPAM IT TO BUILD UP MY INVENTORY???? I better get a couple of stacks while this 0AP event is going on, man.
I wish I could say the same. I swear to god that I broke my back rerolling stupidd tier 1 Wakka like a dozen times and I NEVER got above 14%. He is still sitting there at 14%, that jackass. If I could just throw a dozen Magic Mirrors at him I wouldn't have to be killing myself. Christmas Sora too -- I keep evolving his 5* medals so I can reroll the guilt, and even though I've done it like 10 times he's only gone from 84% to 86%. Wooo.
I got Larxene B WOOOOOO. I still can't beat Master Ava (or like, any enemies at level 200) but I finally was able to beat those event quests into submission. I shall contemplate JP KHUX tomorrow! I know how to make an account and download it, but I'm not sure of the details... Can I play them both on the same iPad, or will I need to use another device for the other version? Bleh, my iPhone screen is so small. I tried playing on it Friday and it wasn't the best. I'll do it, though, because I'm obsessed.
....ahahahahaha oh noooooo, why would you do that. *snickers* And yeah, it's definitely EASIER to get them, because more jewels = more draws, but it's still not everyone has everything, haha.
Yeaaaaaaah, all I can think of is Axel, stop fellating your goddamn ice cream, just. Axel. Axel. No. Stop. If he hasn't gotten it yet, that's not going to help.
No, no, you're absolutely right! On all counts! Well done! ^^- I'm just HORRIBLE AT NAMES, so I forget the English ones really quickly.
Oh geeze, yeah, I know that pain. /o\ I've spent SO MANY JEWELS on extra storage space the past fortnight. Worth it in the long run, but SO MANY. /o\ (I've barely even started evolving up story quest drop medals, because NO ROOM, they get sold off pmuch straight away in favour of event/draw medals. *sighs* So glad for the daily jewel quests, it means that my jewel total generally doesn't decrease, just stays steadyish.)
YEAH IT'S RIDICULOUS I DON'T EVEN. And in JP it's only on Fridays, so there's not even that much time to gather stacks! ;; I... basically only ever have enough time to get the medals I need to evolve what I've got RIGHT NOW, and sometimes not even that much. One day, though. ONE DAY. Stacks of 99, able to evolve anything at will. >:
Ahahaha, yeah, but he's a story drop, I'd ignore him for now and focus on your rarer medals! I really hate it when that happens, though, just. Fffff. Be better, you asshole!
YAAAAY!!! :D I'm stuck on the second-last Christmas quest - I'm never going to beat it in 90sec, which is what it WANTS, but I can't even beat it at all - which is annoying, since I think the last quest must be the 3D Riku drop quest, and I don't have him at all yet. *makes faces at the stupid level 240 asshole critters* I've got a little under an hour to keep trying, though, so I'll keep going and worry about Larxene tomorrow.
You can! You just have to be logged in to your JP iTunes account to update it, etc. Yeah, I don't even know how people could play on their phones, how do they even SEE anything? I mean, I know my vision is shitty, but still... It would be pretty sweet to be able to play it on the train or whatever, though.
Axel is so unsubtle, and yet not unsubtle enough. He'll have to work on that. And no more props.
Don't spend any more jewels on storage just yet -- I heard that last year JP had a Christmas deal where storage was 50% off. I'm waiting to see if that's going to happen this time around before I buy any more myself, but omg 65 slots is not doing it. Half of that is literally evolve or exp medals. You're probably right though... it's good to have 5* medals ready to go for rerolling guilt, but I can get the story drops anytime and make new 5* medals and Selphie is taking up all my precious medal space.
How many jewels do you get from the daily jewel quests? I wish I had those, buuuuut I don't want to trade my extra day of Fantasia Mickeys, thanks. I hope you got your 3D Riku!
Playing in the iPhone is hard to control and extremely tiny. I just don't have 3G so I can't use my iPad unless there's wifi... :( And let's say I don't always have a ton of work to do at... work. Especially now that it's the holiday season. So I settled.
Definitely no more props! Use your words, Axel, it's the only way he's going to get it!
Ooooooh! If that happens I'll definitely buy a bunch more slots! But I've only been getting them when it's been get more slots or delete event/draw medals, and... yeah. Worth it, just annoying.
200! :D It's pretty great! Didn't end up getting Riku OH WELL I'm sure he'll turn up again, Riku is like that. *eyes him* I did just get the last of the Larxene B medals, though, yaaaay!
Boooooo :( You could turn your phone into a wifi hotspot, maybe? But that could possibly get expensive, IDK.
Congrats!! I'm sitting on my two 5* Larxene medals waiting for an event where I can be sure I'll get a decent guilt roll, since there's no ability to reroll her. More inventory space, le sigh
So JP immediately threw two 6* medals at me, which I did not say no to. And then, even though I've heard people say like a hundred times that once the limited medals disappear you never see them again, there's a deal running with I!Kairi and like a dozen other limited medals? Potentially with I!Kairi being like 6x more epic than she usually is, and I've already seen people talk about using her constantly? But there's only like ten hours left on the deal! I should obviously blitz through until I have 3000 jewels (like 11 quests away I think) and then do a pull in the desperate hope of awesome, y/y???? IKairi, HD Axel, IXemnas, HD Sora, IAnsemSOD, Sora Donald Goofy, or ICloud?? Not bad?? I don't care about the Xehanorts although I'm sure they're good medals, but -- SHOULD I? Or should I be reasonable and not do that within 24 hours of starting JP.
Also, it looks like Casual Roxas is in the 3000j pull for World of Chaos.
Hahaha, yeaaaah, that's kind of the thing. Stupid tiny inventory.
Yes! Weekly medals, it's a thing. An amazing thing. :D And yeah, no, there's been a whole bunch of deals with older medals recently, it's been pretty cool. PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA even if you don't get Kairi you should get SOMETHING awesome! :D (When I started it was the last couple of days of the KA#3 medal deal. I spent SO MANY JEWELS trying to get one, so um. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL I can't really tell you no, haha.)
...ooooooh. I didn't really look at that, because ugh, Ansem, but I will go poke it now. :D
The only good Xehanort is Xigbar, that's what I always say. And Saix under certain limited circumstances. The bitchier the better.
I just love drawing medals it's so funnnnn
The pull was a big nothing, though. KH Riku (twice), Bambi, TR Sora, Hades, KH2 Mickey (at least I can combine him with the one you get in the tutorial), regular Axel, Uniform Kairi, IXemnas, and HD Axel. No boosts or anything, and I'm spoiled by the latest global campaign (shock, global did something nice) and am sad I don't have any dots. At least there's HD Axel! He's full of angst about people he loves running away from him. Just stay in one place, don't have an identity crisis, and continue to exist, okay?
SO TRUE. Noooo, I can't help mourning for Isa when Saïx is around. :x
THIS IS SO TRUE.
AXEL! :D :D :D :D Oh man, I don't have HD Axel yet, I'm jealous! :x And yeaaah, I get that. But maybe they'll do another free daily draw event sometime soon! *can only hope*
I don't feel like I know enough about Isa to care particularly about him -- I haven't played BBS in a long time but I remember feeling like he was a dick back then too, including to his best friend, only with less reason? And we haven't seen enough about how Saix became a Xehanort to know when or how that went down, and when Saix went past the point of no return. This might be my biases, because I truly enjoyed Saix being a bitch in 358/2 Days, but I feel like Saix was still being "himself" when his and Axel's relationship burned to the ground. He still had his goal of taking down the Organization and everything!
I like the idea that as their lives became tenser and more complicated, they started finding their friendship (which had been strained by machinations of the Organization) less fulfilling; Axel was annoyed by Saix and found friends he preferred, who he cared about deeply; Saix was annoyed by Axel but also resented being moved on from; etc.... I mean, Axel was actively doing things for the purpose of alienating Saix during 358/2 Days, like that record-scratch moment when Axel talks about Zexion's death. So Saix threw himself more into the Organization's business, and thus opened himself up to more Xehanortification, or what have you.
So I didn't get enough attached to Isa to have anything to mourn, but there's so much of Saix that I'm curious about or interested in. I wrote a fic!
Ahh, see, I got a lot more of the 'long-suffering, sarcastic friend' vibe from Isa, with all of the teasing affection that goes with it. Saïx's frustrated middle management WAS pretty funny, but all his private scenes with Axel kind of creeped me out. Can't remember why, it's been a while... I should go back and replay it sometime, what a fun game, if heartbreaking.
Oooh, fic! And a liveblog! I will read them... when it's not 3am. Um. Yes. >>;;;
Totally agreed! I 100% believe that Isa and Lea were genuinely friends. They had goals and made plans and hung out together, and Isa genuinely liked him, and acting like a dick is just his preferred MO. He wants to be the cool and collected one, even if that means mocking his friend or enjoying watching him get his ass handed to him. (Lea was basically a hyper Hayner, as I recall.) (What we have here is basically the friendship of young Riku and Hayner?)
But since we only see them for, like, ten lines or something, almost all of their relationship is in my imagination, so it's harder to be emotionally attached to him.
...although now that I've mentally associated Isa with Riku I have given myself many more feelings... Fuck.
I did in fact spend the whole day rereading that liveblog wheeeee
*nodnodnod* Yeah, they were super great friends, which is why their super fucked up relationship in the end makes me so sad. (Lea is basically a ferret child, all energy and playfulness and getting into everything.)
That's fair! For me, it's enough to get attached, haha.
Whoops? You're probably right, though - if KH-era Riku had spent a decade at Maleficent's side, rather than being Sora'd, it definitely seems likely that he'd be the same kind of fucked up, miserable bastard Saïx is. :/
Yeah, Riku was a pretty cocky kid back on Destiny Islands, but also too cool for you. I could see him taking a similar approach to Sora in a playfight as Isa did. (A little more protective.) Then KH1 happened and all the self-esteem issues
Me: Man, I have to get rid of some of these medals Me: I can't use my spare Selphies or CSoras yet... But I can evolve Tidus and then reroll his terrible guilt score! Tidus: 11% Fusing: 10-25% Me: This pretty much can't go wrong New Tidus: 11% Me: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I don't *think* that version of Roxas has been released in JP!KHUx yet, which is what I'm playing, so I will patiently hoard my jewels until it is. >:

"Casual Roxas" is being released alongside Illustrated Xion (this week), HD Axel (next week), and the Roxas Key Arts thingy (which I will never see IRL). I think they're out in JP, you might recognize the medal when you see it! I love how Roxas's OXIII medal and his casual Twilight Town medal are both so ANGRY. Xigbar was right, he's got a real good glare.
I am incredibly tempted to get JP!KHUX too. Compared to the US version jewels are raining down over there, and the JP deals are much more generous... I only started playing like three weeks ago but I'm already a miserly curmudgeon about it. And don't get me wrong, I'd still play the global one. I just am tempted to also be playing a version where I don't feel so much like a poor child peering wistfully through a toy shop window. It's killing me that I BARELY HAVE ENOUGH JEWELS FOR ONE PULL and then there's I!Xion, and Casual Roxas, and someday maybe an I!KH2Kairi, because holy cow... I want to save up for her a lot, but for now I'm going to hoard until Roxas is released, should be 12/30, because I won't live without him.

But I think that'll probably cool down after new years, less cultural event things happening. Up to 400-sommat now, though! And I've almost maxed out my levels um. >>;;; Raaaaaaids~)
...oh man yeah I need to get more Larxene B medals. /o\ And this other Christmas event that ends in less than 24 hours but has CID AND YUFFIE AND AERITH. But the missions keep crashing my game - I'm playing on an iPad 2 and it's not... really... up to all the graphics - so I keep getting frustrated and doing other things. ^^;; We're on AP0 this week too, which is great. Though honestly we're on AP0 so often I'm always unpleasantly surprised when we're not - what is this bullshit, that medal-gathering mission costs HOW much?? I am a spoiled JPUx player, I admit it, it's the best. *laughs*
Foxes are the best! :D That's why I chose fox, too, just ended up being first in EN, but second in JP. Who knows why, not me~ Our party name is 恋人の部屋, our leader is ミヤビ, play style is そこそこ, and we currently only have 6 people in our party - that should be enough info to find it, I think? My username on there is Turul, for reasons that have to do with not knowing I'd actually be... talking to people... when playing it.

I know JP has a few more keyblades than global and I've only looked at the global ones so far. Moogle blade is red (reversed), blue (upright), red (reversed), blue (reversed), red (upright). So you could get HD Roxas in one of the red reversed slots, and regular/SP Roxas will work well in the blue reversed, but you're still missing out on a lot. Roxas is more blues and greens than reds. Starlight does seem best in the way of colors. Although I'm not sure what your Roxas medals are! For all I know you have three HD Roxases, because JP is unfair.
I'm level 208 and quest *425ish. I'm not kidding, those crazy omega spider raid bosses would give me a level every time I fought one. I made a few pulls getting HD Sora, so even though it cost me all of my jewels (and $5) I did end up with a halfway decent deck that helped me get through. And now they're running an event where they drop a million tier 1 medals so you can guilt/max those, so that's neat. Still... I was trying to get Divine Rose and I'm like, 20 quests away, but stupid Master Ava is holding me up!
lol that is exactly what I was like between the Thanksgiving 0AP event and the Christmas 0AP event. "What?? It's 30AP?!" Fortunately it was only like five days so it didn't cramp my style too much. Still, this is a huge plus for grinding out these stupid medals. I need like 50 of them just to get a decent guilt %. How do people max these things?! Are randomly generated guilt %s also better in JP, you monster?
That's an adorable party name. I'll check it out when I get there! It wouldn't have occurred to me to not use Roman characters in my name in JP, since they love Roman letters so much. I want more shiniiiies
no subject
Yeah, I've got HD, regular, and - SP I think is the ice-cream one? It's the ice cream one. So two blues and a red. Eventually I'll be able to gild them all and have a shiny shiny keyblade, but might take a while, haha.
Oh man those spiders, what even are those. I'm still levelling up two or three times a weekend, with the 30milHP weekend raid bosses, even though it's now literally millions of LUX between levels. I don't have HD Sora yet,but he seems pretty great! :D Radiant Rose is nice, but because of how I mainly only have power medals, Power of Hero is my best blade in pure attack numbers, though Rock Splendour is probably the best overall, because of my Kairi-Roxas-Cloud lineup. (I don't remember the EN names, sorry! ^^;;)
Hahahaha yeaaaah. Particularly the Fantasia Mickey quest, it's like 36AP and whaaaaaat??? Particularly since you need like twenty billion of the damn things, uuuugh. One day I'll have evolved enough of my medals to 6* that I can build up a stash. One daaaaaaaay. ;; The generated gilt isn't any better BUT during certain events, when you get AP0, half-cost medal levelling etc, they boost the minimum % up a bit, so you're a bit more likely to get a decent number. But also magic mirrors everywhere, all the time. (Well, not really, but it feels like that. Events generally have ~5 in their event boards, and the colosseum has a bunch each month, too.) So for your expensive medals you really only need to roll once, and then use mirrors to make up the difference, rather than attempting to reroll a bunch of times.
Hee, yes! I joined it pmuch at random, but it's filled with nice people, so it's worked out really well. :3 Haha, it's more that it's weird to be called Turul, that's not my name, I'm Tyger! But I also don't want to change my display name, so I put up with the weird. Yesss, shinies are the beeeeest :D

SP is the ice cream one! I assume it stands for "sea-salt popsicle", although in Axel's case I keep referring to it as "super pervert" because look at it. I can't unsee it. Roxas and Xion are both like, yay, ice cream! yay, friendship! in theirs, and then... there's Axel.
lol, they might not even exist in global. There's Starlight, the three you get in the early worlds that are attribute-specific, and then there's Olympia from the Coliseum and Moogle O Glory from obviously the moogle challenge quest thingy. I think that's it. I would guess Radiant Rose = Divine Rose from Beast's Castle, which I don't have yet, boo. Power of Hero might be Olympia? But Olympia has more speed slots than power slots. Rock Splendor coooould be Treasure Trove, the all-power keyblade from the Dwarfs-- YOU KNOW WHAT, IT DOESN'T MATTER LOL
omg between this week's "Nova Fest" avalanche of tier 1 medals and the Christmas Sora event, I used up all my stupid Fantasia Mickeys by like, Wednesday, and then I was like, "......uhhh, I don't have enough medal space for all the 5* medals I need for guilting + rerolling..." Today I restocked somewhat on Fantasia Mickeys but I still have a pile of Selphies and Christmas Soras because I ran out of Merryweather. orz
--WAIT, THE FANTASIA MICKEY QUEST IS 36AP???? HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO SPAM IT TO BUILD UP MY INVENTORY???? I better get a couple of stacks while this 0AP event is going on, man.
I wish I could say the same. I swear to god that I broke my back rerolling stupidd tier 1 Wakka like a dozen times and I NEVER got above 14%. He is still sitting there at 14%, that jackass. If I could just throw a dozen Magic Mirrors at him I wouldn't have to be killing myself. Christmas Sora too -- I keep evolving his 5* medals so I can reroll the guilt, and even though I've done it like 10 times he's only gone from 84% to 86%. Wooo.
I got Larxene B WOOOOOO. I still can't beat Master Ava (or like, any enemies at level 200) but I finally was able to beat those event quests into submission. I shall contemplate JP KHUX tomorrow! I know how to make an account and download it, but I'm not sure of the details... Can I play them both on the same iPad, or will I need to use another device for the other version? Bleh, my iPhone screen is so small. I tried playing on it Friday and it wasn't the best. I'll do it, though, because I'm obsessed.
no subject
Yeaaaaaaah, all I can think of is Axel, stop fellating your goddamn ice cream, just. Axel. Axel. No. Stop. If he hasn't gotten it yet, that's not going to help.
No, no, you're absolutely right! On all counts! Well done! ^^- I'm just HORRIBLE AT NAMES, so I forget the English ones really quickly.
Oh geeze, yeah, I know that pain. /o\ I've spent SO MANY JEWELS on extra storage space the past fortnight. Worth it in the long run, but SO MANY. /o\ (I've barely even started evolving up story quest drop medals, because NO ROOM, they get sold off pmuch straight away in favour of event/draw medals. *sighs* So glad for the daily jewel quests, it means that my jewel total generally doesn't decrease, just stays steadyish.)
YEAH IT'S RIDICULOUS I DON'T EVEN. And in JP it's only on Fridays, so there's not even that much time to gather stacks! ;; I... basically only ever have enough time to get the medals I need to evolve what I've got RIGHT NOW, and sometimes not even that much. One day, though. ONE DAY. Stacks of 99, able to evolve anything at will. >:
Ahahaha, yeah, but he's a story drop, I'd ignore him for now and focus on your rarer medals! I really hate it when that happens, though, just. Fffff. Be better, you asshole!
YAAAAY!!! :D I'm stuck on the second-last Christmas quest - I'm never going to beat it in 90sec, which is what it WANTS, but I can't even beat it at all - which is annoying, since I think the last quest must be the 3D Riku drop quest, and I don't have him at all yet. *makes faces at the stupid level 240 asshole critters* I've got a little under an hour to keep trying, though, so I'll keep going and worry about Larxene tomorrow.
You can! You just have to be logged in to your JP iTunes account to update it, etc. Yeah, I don't even know how people could play on their phones, how do they even SEE anything? I mean, I know my vision is shitty, but still... It would be pretty sweet to be able to play it on the train or whatever, though.

Axel is so unsubtle, and yet not unsubtle enough. He'll have to work on that. And no more props.
Don't spend any more jewels on storage just yet -- I heard that last year JP had a Christmas deal where storage was 50% off. I'm waiting to see if that's going to happen this time around before I buy any more myself, but omg 65 slots is not doing it. Half of that is literally evolve or exp medals. You're probably right though... it's good to have 5* medals ready to go for rerolling guilt, but I can get the story drops anytime and make new 5* medals and Selphie is taking up all my precious medal space.
How many jewels do you get from the daily jewel quests? I wish I had those, buuuuut I don't want to trade my extra day of Fantasia Mickeys, thanks. I hope you got your 3D Riku!
Playing in the iPhone is hard to control and extremely tiny. I just don't have 3G so I can't use my iPad unless there's wifi... :( And let's say I don't always have a ton of work to do at... work. Especially now that it's the holiday season. So I settled.
no subject
Definitely no more props! Use your words, Axel, it's the only way he's going to get it!
Ooooooh! If that happens I'll definitely buy a bunch more slots! But I've only been getting them when it's been get more slots or delete event/draw medals, and... yeah. Worth it, just annoying.
200! :D It's pretty great! Didn't end up getting Riku OH WELL I'm sure he'll turn up again, Riku is like that. *eyes him* I did just get the last of the Larxene B medals, though, yaaaay!
Boooooo :( You could turn your phone into a wifi hotspot, maybe? But that could possibly get expensive, IDK.

So JP immediately threw two 6* medals at me, which I did not say no to. And then, even though I've heard people say like a hundred times that once the limited medals disappear you never see them again, there's a deal running with I!Kairi and like a dozen other limited medals? Potentially with I!Kairi being like 6x more epic than she usually is, and I've already seen people talk about using her constantly? But there's only like ten hours left on the deal! I should obviously blitz through until I have 3000 jewels (like 11 quests away I think) and then do a pull in the desperate hope of awesome, y/y???? IKairi, HD Axel, IXemnas, HD Sora, IAnsemSOD, Sora Donald Goofy, or ICloud?? Not bad?? I don't care about the Xehanorts although I'm sure they're good medals, but -- SHOULD I? Or should I be reasonable and not do that within 24 hours of starting JP.
Also, it looks like Casual Roxas is in the 3000j pull for World of Chaos.
no subject
Yes! Weekly medals, it's a thing. An amazing thing. :D And yeah, no, there's been a whole bunch of deals with older medals recently, it's been pretty cool. PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA even if you don't get Kairi you should get SOMETHING awesome! :D (When I started it was the last couple of days of the KA#3 medal deal. I spent SO MANY JEWELS trying to get one, so um. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL I can't really tell you no, haha.)
...ooooooh. I didn't really look at that, because ugh, Ansem, but I will go poke it now. :D
no subject
And Saix under certain limited circumstances. The bitchier the better.
I just love drawing medals it's so funnnnn
The pull was a big nothing, though. KH Riku (twice), Bambi, TR Sora, Hades, KH2 Mickey (at least I can combine him with the one you get in the tutorial), regular Axel, Uniform Kairi, IXemnas, and HD Axel. No boosts or anything, and I'm spoiled by the latest global campaign (shock, global did something nice) and am sad I don't have any dots. At least there's HD Axel! He's full of angst about people he loves running away from him. Just stay in one place, don't have an identity crisis, and continue to exist, okay?
no subject
THIS IS SO TRUE.
AXEL! :D :D :D :D Oh man, I don't have HD Axel yet, I'm jealous! :x And yeaaah, I get that. But maybe they'll do another free daily draw event sometime soon! *can only hope*
no subject
I don't feel like I know enough about Isa to care particularly about him -- I haven't played BBS in a long time but I remember feeling like he was a dick back then too, including to his best friend, only with less reason? And we haven't seen enough about how Saix became a Xehanort to know when or how that went down, and when Saix went past the point of no return. This might be my biases, because I truly enjoyed Saix being a bitch in 358/2 Days, but I feel like Saix was still being "himself" when his and Axel's relationship burned to the ground. He still had his goal of taking down the Organization and everything!
I like the idea that as their lives became tenser and more complicated, they started finding their friendship (which had been strained by machinations of the Organization) less fulfilling; Axel was annoyed by Saix and found friends he preferred, who he cared about deeply; Saix was annoyed by Axel but also resented being moved on from; etc.... I mean, Axel was actively doing things for the purpose of alienating Saix during 358/2 Days, like that record-scratch moment when Axel talks about Zexion's death. So Saix threw himself more into the Organization's business, and thus opened himself up to more Xehanortification, or what have you.
So I didn't get enough attached to Isa to have anything to mourn, but there's so much of Saix that I'm curious about or interested in. I wrote a fic!
Welp... Now I'm off to
workreread my KH 358/2 Days liveblog for the hundredth timeno subject
Oooh, fic! And a liveblog! I will read them... when it's not 3am. Um. Yes. >>;;;
no subject
But since we only see them for, like, ten lines or something, almost all of their relationship is in my imagination, so it's harder to be emotionally attached to him.
...although now that I've mentally associated Isa with Riku I have given myself many more feelings... Fuck.
I did in fact spend the whole day rereading that liveblog wheeeee
no subject
That's fair! For me, it's enough to get attached, haha.
Whoops? You're probably right, though - if KH-era Riku had spent a decade at Maleficent's side, rather than being Sora'd, it definitely seems likely that he'd be the same kind of fucked up, miserable bastard Saïx is. :/
Hahaha, what a great use of a day!
no subject
Me: Man, I have to get rid of some of these medals
Me: I can't use my spare Selphies or CSoras yet... But I can evolve Tidus and then reroll his terrible guilt score!
Tidus: 11%
Fusing: 10-25%
Me: This pretty much can't go wrong
New Tidus: 11%
Me: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
no subject
...
Oh geegus, that's probably even worse than the time I rolled Paine at 16% four times in a row. (I gave up after that. It was definitely a sign.)
