    It's been a while and I've missed everything

    Hey guys this is just something I wanted to say.... FFBE is what got me in to finally fantasy and I'll be ever grateful to it. The world of final fantasy seemed to vast initially for me to get into but the ffbe app made it a lot more accessible and easy to consume not to mention having its own colourful cast of characters who I will never forget. It's honestly sad to see it go, I missed it's final days as I had stopped playing it a few years back as life got in the way. I really wish I could have been there just to play it one last time to see the main cast. As a community has there been any effort in preserving the game? Is it even possible? Even getting to play the opening would be a great nostalgia boost for me. If anyone knows please let me know. This game will always be in my memory, it was something I actually played for years and has been with me through good portions of my life. Sayonara FFBE you will be missed but never forgotten.

    Games similar to FFBE?

    I really loved the pixel art style and the fighting interface, and gacha, is there any other games like this?

    For those that chose to switch servers, has anybody download the JP version on their phone? (Lengthy read, also kind of a guide)

    Hi everyone. Since the closure announcement, I wanted to try a shot again at JP, but the main draw back was that the main method to play was through emulation on PC/Lap.

    Has anyone found a way to have the game on their phone same way as GL? Share them below, as I have one that worked on my POCO phone.

    From my previous try at JP, my email still received JP emails of updates and such. Just today, I read the 9th anni email and clicked the Google play download button (knowing it was unaccessible on my country), but to my surprise, the default app to open the link was Mi App Gallery, and it let me download the JP app.

    With the app on my phone, I opened it and was greeted with the home screen we all know. But as I entered, the japanese text translated to "Download the newest version" and it send me to the Play store, again, with country restrictions.

    Not surprised, I returned to the app, knowing that I wouldn't get any further, and started to click around. I reached the social media section and the official FFBE JP website, and scrolled down to the download options. Here, I noticed there were more options then just Apple Store and Google play, and chose the Square Enix Market one. It led me to the download page and downloaded the up to date version of the app (different than the App Gallery one) and ran it.

    This time, I could go further than the home screen and prompted to sign in on a Square Enix Market account. I created one using my personal Google Account as sign in option, and after doing a confirmation email, the page brought me back to the game, authorized the log in, and it let me to the tutorial gameplay (the start we all know).

    Now, I have access to the current game on my phone as GL used to be. Obviously, on japanese.

    Here, I'd like to ask to share your findings on having the JP game on your phone as you would with the now shut down GL game. If anyone is interested in the specifics of my way, I'll be happy to help and try it with you.

    Thank you for reading!

    Good evening to all the great people I’ve had a chance to play with and talk to over the years! This community was even more fun to me than the game itself.

    Farewell FFBE

    One last goodbye from your Lore Keeper

    And so…our story through the worlds of Brave Exvius comes to a close.

    Our journey had started with a chance encounter with two Knights of Grandshelt. The Crimson Knight Rain and the Azure Swordsman Lasswell charged to visit a disturbance within the Earth Temple. With but a single step into this Temple soon would evolve into a journey to save not just one world but all worlds in their universe. Tales of hope and sadness. Tales of loss and longing. Tales of emotion and love. Tales of bravery and revenge. Every new page brought new emotion, new characters, and new encounters. Some heroes' stories might’ve had no relation to our main cast but their tales that were weaved still held significance to the ways the pages would turn in this book.

    Our heroes fought valiantly at every turn with every step of the way from their home of Lapis, to a world ruled by a dictatorship in Paladia, on the rails of Farplane Express to various worlds threatened by the Hollow, to where our journey has ended in a world built upon the precipice of sacrifice known as Levonia. Through the tales our heroes would meet villains who would impede their path, like minded heroes who would join the journey, and many allies and friends who would rally to the call of saving these worlds.

    The journey was fraught with perilous threats but also moments of levity and a genuine bond shared between the three central heroes. Together you have watched The Crimson Knight, The Azure Swordsman, and The Lotus Mage face off against the likes of threats such as The Sworn Six of Paladia, The Red Eyed Sage of Hess known as Sol, The Cruelty of The Paladian Emperor Vlad and his Elite Soldiers known as The Orders, The drive of the Hollow Keepers and The Will of Darkness, and now embodiment of destruction incarnate from beyond the stars known as Omega. Though our time with them has come to an end prematurely. Let us not be sad that our time with Rain, Lasswell, and Fina's journey has been cut short but let us look at this as a crossroads where we take separate paths. They must continue their journey one way and while we can't follow beside them the road we'll take will still be intimately close to the progress of their journeys. So let us celebrate that the journey of these three individuals continues in new and exciting ways and that at the end of our long and winding roads we can meet once more at the end to celebrate the journeys' truest ending.

    Farewell for now everyone.

    Woke up to a familiar notification today.

    Your energy has been restored!

    Well, that's interesting. I wonder how that works if our accounts are deleted. Maybe it set the timer before the server shut down and it resided in memory.

    Just another farewell post

    After hearing about the Global EoS, I decided to download FFBE again after a ~5 year hiatus. There were so many changes since I had last played, and I spent an hour or more doing summons, accepting gifts from my overflowing inbox, etc.

    When all of that was settled, I continued in the story where I had left off and forgot almost everything about the story! Fortunately, I was still in Season 1, so I caught up fairly quickly and continued. I wasn't able to play as much as I wanted to especially within the last two weeks since I've been busier than usual. Seeing the announcements, video, and connection error message when accessing the app hit a bit harder than I anticipated.

    I'm grateful to have experienced the game, and the memories of playing with family and friends will stick with me always. It would've been nice to have the option to download our player data and continue the story offline. It would also be cool to see Rain, Lasswell, Fina, and the rest of the crew again in a future release (wishful thinking, I know).

    Thanks for reading :) here are some screenshots I found from years back.

    Thanks to everyone who helped to make this community cool. Who helped to make us players feel like winners (especially the F2P ones)! It was a nice journey and all the beast meat and gungnirs in the world couldn’t change it. All the best on your next adventure guys! ✌🏽

    Want to ask a Global Dev a (limited) AMA?

    Hey there guys! So FFBE has shut it's doors as of last night... sadface. One of the devs who worked on the Global side has reached out to me and offered to do a (limited) Ask Me Anything session. I've confirmed that he is who he says he is.

    So in this post, ask questions you would like to ask a dev, and in a video I'll be recording with him this weekend, I'll ask away! Depending on how many questions we get, we may not be able to cover every single question (don't want the video to be excessively long). There's a few things to keep in mind though:

    • We're going to be chatting with a dev whose primary job was Clash of Wills and handling events. They were not a top level producer or anything, so any deep questions about business decisions they may not have the answer to. You can still ask, but those might not be covered.
    • FFBE was handled by two companies: the Gumi side, and the Square Enix side. We're talking with a Gumi side dev, so questions about why did the Square Enix side do something might not be able to give a valid answer. You can still ask, and they may have some insight, or they may not.

    Finally, please be respectful! If you're angry and frustrated about FFBE ending, or how it was run, this isn't really the person to direct that anger towards!

    So ask some questions, and I'll try to get some answers!

    Would you say there's a chance we get a similar game from gumi or sqnix?

    Given how succesful ffbe was for a long time, do you think there's a chance we see ffbe 2 or a similar game? Tried ff ever crisis but I can tell that game EoS won't take long. Opera omnia was also a great game.

    delulu is the solulu (the zolulu?): IF ffbe returns as a console game, would you go for it?

    a friend recently reminded me of this april fools joke they did some years ago (that i fell for it, like every fucking year), and i thought, if they ever transform ffbe into a 3D console game just to eternalise the story i'd totally buy it in a heart beat.

    i managed to record everything from the first and second season ^((not self promoting, but i'll post it on @ grandshelt on titktok as i have time)) and the story telling is So Good, i think it could sell well - or at least become a hidden gem like FF Type 0?

    or maybe i'm just struggling a little bit to accept reality and daydreaming too hard to cope

    I did it! After 8 years I beat Sol. Now for the rest of the story...

    I had played this game off and on since release. I was hoping to at least finish the story out, but this is as far as I could go before everything crumbled around me in the game.

    Goodbye FFBE

    I feel like overall this game had a pretty darn great run and I must say I had a wonderful time playing.

    I want to also commend everyone who helped another player using this subreddit, no matter how "small" the help was, because anyone that did took their time to do so which means a lot (at least in my opinion).

    Hope you all have a blast with whatever game or other activity you move on to after this! o7

    Did anybody else get your stats before closing like total login days etc? I ended at 2,937 so 8 years and a tiny bit

    I didn't login the last month, and for a few months on 2019 I logged in maybe every 3rd day, other than that my login streak was 1,216 days.

    This is the End. Hold your breath and count to Ten.

    Sorry, just watched the opening to Skyfall.

    Just like with Opera Omnia, I'm gonna miss Brave Exvius, even if it's still kicking in Japan. What sucks even more is that I literally have no interest at this time to bother with any more SE mobile games, and I don't know if it's because of burnout, or something else.

    But, with this game finally coming to an end, and I apologize if it's too soon, I can't help but wonder: for those who played this game a whole bunch, maybe even from the beginning: What units did you not get before EoS?

    I'll start:

    Not counting Seasonal or Limited Time Units, I wasn't able to get Benedikta Harman, Blade Breaker Esther (I was busy with RL at the time), Chosen King's Shield Gladiolus, Divine Soleil, Explorer Aileen, Fastest in the Skies Setzer, Imperial Shield Wilhelm, Princess of Liberty Ashe, Raegan -Dark Lineage-, Sorceress of the Present Edea, Spirited Friend Penelo, and Sword Saint Orlandeau.

    Anyway, I'm sorry to see it go, but it was a good journey still.

    EVERYTHING THAT SUCKED THAT GUMI DIDN'T FIX IN EIGHT YEARS, the EOS rant

    Now, side note, some of these were fixed or tweaked but it took years. Feel free to add your own.

    1. Weekly maintenance. Every week, 4-8, maybe 10 hour maintenance. Most games do it once a month, maybe every 2nd week for an hour or two.
    2. Login issues.. literally happened the last week of the game. It took them, what 4 years ? 5? For a non facebook login option.
    3. The coliseum and arena looked the same from when they started. Some small tweaks were added to arena and such but as a whole, they never seemed to care about it.

    Arena offline before scheduled EOS?! Classic GUMI

    All respect completely lost. On one side note, thank you for the many years and amazing players that came across the way. Now if you excuse me, Raegan dumped his armor and well off I go to Eorzea. Peace out

    I tried to open the game for last minute screenshots of my final stats and characters, but the game doesn't open up because of the arena?
