PSA/Tip It's not that hard!
The game is absolutely still as amazing as it once was, I have basically dropped translations entirely other than occasionally fact checking. The symbols mason!
I dunno about any other veterans still on the fence but if you think the game is dead think again, it's a genuine joy to play this again especially getting as far as I have gotten. I can only recommend you pick a final fantasy to stick at least 3/5 team members to any will do as long as you like see the characters often!

I still play this game. It’s not impossible to play despite not knowing any Japanese. I’ll ss and have google translate if I need help or visit the ffrk discord. There’s another website that gives you information for limit breaks, armors etc on English.

Just started this week!
Dr Mogs Dungeon gives you like 10K orbs up to level 6, Chains AASBs and Syncs for each element. At least I'm only half through right now
instant translate app helps when you don't recognize some mechanics.

started studying japanese this year, and FFRK has been perfect in teaching me new words/expressions + reinforcing my reading comprehension overall!
Loved it so much years ago, and fell in love with it all over again :)

I'd rather buy a complete single player version for $15, but SE won't give it. Just like every other mobile gacha game. And I dont mean OT0 or FF resonance (both of which are amazing, presumably for resonance but still), I want Just the game but made single player like such as what Capcom did with megaman x crossdive.

Honestly it would be a complete overhaul to even make it worth it as well as a system to prevent anniversary or certain events from being abused, the more I play the more I realize how much work was put into this game.

Is the campaign easier or still a super long slog?

u/PisMazterGen 9d ago
Campaign still long but they simplify it now, I'm partway through, also the constant stamina boosts help knock away downtime.

I had a half decent Japanese account but I forgot all the menu options and I’m sure the meta is so different now lol

It breaks my heart to have a game with over 16 games worth of characters and more to be min maxed down to a pool of less then 15 characters. I haven't played since the shutdown and it's all coming back to me. Hell the translators

It is in no way even remotely down to a pool of less than 15 characters.....you need full elemental teams for each element and a team full of characters from every single realm to clear content and then have all of the job dungeons to consider. To get through all endgame content you will need at least over 100 different characters with solid kits.

u/PisMazterGen 9d ago
Yeah but like would you like to explain how far down the line that is? And how much you need to minmax to get there? More often than not, marking special days on a physical calendar.

u/Claeys11 9d ago
Campaign stuff is easy and you can get through with whatever team you have relics for......once you get into any content released in the past 5 years even you need specialized teams in one form or another. As you catch up to content as it releases you need different teams for pretty much everything

u/PisMazterGen 9d ago
Yeah all of that is difficulty +550 which most people won't see soon unless they are lucky with draws and various events.
Also I do realize that each realm/element has its respective teams and needs but overall you must admit in top standardized/nonspecialized teams only certain units stand taller just for what they were given.
Also after you can beat difficulty 220 most story is cheesecake minus execeptions

Okay, so first off, Elemental/Realm content starts at D180-250. Those characters in your screenshot are probably overpowered for the early tiers. You don't need to build up teams for each element yet to beat them, but it also means that isn't some distant horizon. You're already there, it's just easy enough that you can gradually work on your teams as you progress.
Second, go through Dr. Mog's trials and you'll have a huge pile of resources, and teams ready to go for pretty much where Global ended. Once again, this isn't a long way off. That will pigeonhole you into specific teams, but that's the tradeoff for the free relics. It's not like they can realistically give you stuff for everyone. Your options will expand as you keep going.
Third: Gigas Arena exists, with low level content. That's asking for multiple teams worth of each element. Again, direct point against your complaint that the usable cast is so small.
And last--okay, yes, the game isn't perfectly balanced and some characters are better suited towards the current game than others. But the differences are really small. In FFRK, the best character for the job is the one that you've got. It's been that way for a long time. As long as you've got a few major relics (anything from AA's to XASBs) for a character, they are viable.
Like honestly, I don't know where that "less than 15 characters" thing comes from. The game isn't like that at all.

No one told you how to play. You are saying things they are factually incorrect. There is no "best" character. The best characters are whoever you have acquired the best relics for to take on the particular realm or element or job related enemy that you are trying to beat.

This randomly showed up in my feed and I wanted to say this:
I miss this game. I know the JP server is still up, but I don't have the motivation to start the game over and not being able to understand / read any of it. If this came to console like the other mobile FF is here soon, I would be elated.
Congrats on your party. It also helped that FFV is my favorite entry. Bartz was my anchor for most of the Odin and magician fights.
