BRAVELY DEFAULT FAIRY'S EFFECT by SQUARE ENIX INC
https://appsto.re/jp/-mcggb.i

Also this just hit the Japan App Store! Stoked love bravely default games it's a FTP so I will see how that effects it
It's rated very high reminds me a whole lot of Final Fantasy Grandmasters

 

At which point will they begin to work some premium apps again. I have no idea how so many Free to play can even exist! I still play KH Unchained. It's a fun thing to pick up and play a little in small bursts. But in the same way there isn't room for more than one pc mmo in my life, I can't to multiple free to play. They don't end and it takes so long to get progress that it would feel like I spread to thin.

On the other hand I am really enjoying the one I play and the party I am in is very welcoming and warm. I just wish they would be a little more like they have been the last few years with plenty premium ports.

 

i am with you
they used to go premium now most everything from square is free and not only that they take up over a GB of space
I have been downloading the assets since 10AM my time it's now 11:11am and i'm at 70% and i have a good connection close to just saying forget it but i want to at least give it a fair chance
i was hoping the new Bravely Default game would be premium but its not

 

From a biz standpoint that's a a great explanation for why. Final Fantasy XI is still supposed to drop this year and I'm thinking it King's Knight may be premium but the rest I see coming would probably be FTP. It's the nature of the beast

 

Wow, that's sad to hear. I bought all of those, and have really enjoyed them. Especially, CR3. I am even thinking about importing it for the Vita, even though I won't be able to read it or download any of the DLC (CRO-CR2). I'm still waiting for the soundtrack to appear on iTunes as well.

I'm quite disappointed that so much work is spent on making F2P games like Agito that end up getting shut down before they even reach the West. But I definitely agree with Winter9 on this. I can't play all the F2P games. To me, they just feel pointless because someday they'll be gone and we won't get to replay them in a decade or two, like we now can with older FF and DQ main games. Money and time gone. But it seems that definitely isn't where the gaming market is today. Hope the market swings back to a more future-focused mindset and less in-the-moment-only.

However, I'll give FFXI a try no matter the pay model since It's one I never had a chance to play before. Won't last long if it's F2P though. Back in the day, I hated the idea of connecting my PS2 to the internet. Guess not much has changed.

 

I know and I know they have to think business. It's so saf they didn't di well. I was hoping Rom SaGa would be a start. At least by now I put my hope that they will eentually release the ones we haven't seen like Bahamut Lagoon, Seiken D 3 and all the other ones on some platform. I'm multiplayform owning both Vita and N3DS and eventually a Switch too so I'm good as long as I can play them. Or if I ever reach that point of having completed my backlog I wouldn't be shy of fan translations honestly. I love the snes rpg's and it's sad knowing how many didn't make it here.

But I think you're right. I think FFVIII amd DQ VII is two we will see. Maybe not any more. I still don't see how that many free to play can survive though.

 

I think of free to play as a trend and all trends die
Also free to play in Japan is a little better than other places as far as rewards go case in point brave exvius
The rewards for every thing you clear are exactly double the others and the daily rewards are much better as well. still would much rather have premium ports no question
DQVII is my favorite of the series that's on mobile
And if FFVIII ever makes it I will be the happiest gamer

 

I echo everyone else's sentiments: it's really sad if Square Enix can't make the premium model work. I bought FFIX and Adventures of Mana last year - not to mention FFIV, DQV and Chrono Trigger - but even looking at these forums, you could see there wasn't a huge pile-in for Romancing Saga 2. Don't really like the F2P model - as much as I enjoyed the gameplay of SAO: Memory Defrag, the endless nature of it eventually made me retire.

That said, I'm excited about the Mana trilogy coming to the Switch. I just hope there's an English translation coming too. If so, why not Seiken D 3 on iOS?

 

Romancing Saga 2 didnt do well and i don't get it because it is one of my favorite square mobile games and i own every square game on both USA and Japan app store

 

That's awesome -- thanks so much, Shaun! I suppose I'll have to patiently endure. What an amazing single-person dev.

 

We have to keep in mind that saying "Premium didn't work" is relative -- SE's premium library is so much richer, deeper, and longer-lived than nearly any other big-name developer's. That we STILL might see more in the future -- FFVIII, etc. -- is just amazing. And it's not like SE premium games will simply cease then: they'll still be cranking them out on console, just as they've always done. If any other dev would announce that they'll continue to make F2P rubbish for mobile while ALSO porting over dozens of classic titles from their archives, I'd be pretty pleased. We just hold SE to a (deservedly) higher standard.

And FFXI, F2P or not, is going to be INCREDIBLE.

 

Square did expand and invest heavy in a mobile division too so my thinking is we will continue to see some of both paid and FTP

 

Winter this will interest you the Japan version of kingdom hearts just got a huge update and a revamping graphics improvement and other things so I attachéd a pic of the new title screen and also to show you how much more generous FTP in Japan is the other pic is my medals earned not all cuz I have 50 now the kicker this was all earned on one day of play! One day because of the new update I started over
Medals pick can be a little tough to see but I have some level 90 and 100 that are maxed out or close to it and again one day of play and notice it's also called kingdom hearts union X now not sure about why that is but levels content pretty much same

 

Here is a pic of my character and outfit (really good one) and also I counted after one day I have 7 6 stars and 8 5 stars
My best medal is a 6 star level 100 and it's already maxed out at 100 but I'm not strong enough to use it or any of the 6s haha

 

Lot of free stuff in Record Keeper today. Got 48 mythrils and a bunch of orbs.

 

I was about to report same! Tons of good stuff I needed the major growth eggs
Right now sitting at 100 mythril and got squalls over strike on the free draw now to decide how to spend this!
Thinking about spending 50 and saving back 50 for next good event I like

 

Yeah, I love these free 11 draws! I think this is the 2nd or 3rd time. This is way better than the other two F2P FF games. Anyway, I got Lightning's 6-Star sword. And I think I'm still going to save my mythril for when they finally bring FFXV to the US app.

 

Seeing as Japan has already had two XV events one still currently in progress they should be bringing it
I was lucky enough to get one of the soul breaks from it

 

I went ahead and spent it all but I did get the overstrikes for cloud and squall so it was worth plus a couple other soul breaks like the onion knights onion slicer
More rewards coming today all good and the half stamina classic dungeons is a good chance to rack up more mythril!
My starting team for the us version now is cloud, squall, master,snow/hope, and freya
Freya and Master are my hightest level characters
Japan version is Iris(XV), Gladious (XV), Noctis (XV), Aemo (legends II) and Wrieg (lengends II) soul breaks for all of these as well
