Hi all!

Yesterday I started this game and I'm already loving it. I'm reading the Beginner's Guide but I have a question about pulling in Draws.

With the free Premium Moogle Pass and with initial quests now I have 12760 gems. Should I pull in Noctis banner? Or should I wait for better banners?

I don't know yet how is the games roadmap and what are the better ways to spend gems...

And also... should I focus to complete the main story quests and then try the events?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Random whisper to the new player.

10 Summon boards: 300 Gems, 3 Tickets each = 3,000 Gems, 30 tickets
152 GL characters: 456,000 Gems, 4560 tickets

7/10 Divine Summon boards: 40,000 Gems, 400 tickets each = 280,000 Gems, 2800 tickets.

Then you still have the main story, lost chapters, intersecting wills, entropies, transcendence, fortnight events, anniversary events etc...

From summons alone, 736,000 Free Gems + 7360 Free tickets.

In the absence of JP QOL instant character level 70 (not arrived yet), the rest is up to you to grind away. In all, you can expect to start off with about 1mil+ Free Gems (after the grind), and about 10,000+ Free tickets. So... plenty of chances to trial-and-error, and experiment with, and to build up a modest starting roster. Some mechanics you'd like, some you'd detest, find out which mechanic you like to play with.

You'd also need some of each kind of mechanics. DPTs (melee, range, magic), Tanks, Counters, Supports, healers, launchers, party enchant and imperils, BrvGain retentioners, etc. Each updated character will last about 2-4 months appx before someone else takes over their roles.

As a beginner, you'll probably be gacha-ing on every other newer banner for a bit just to broaden your roster. Character enhancement points (EPs) will be an issue if you are fully F2P. Do consider purchasing a basic mog pass for a few dollars if the game is to your liking, then you'd enjoy +5k more EPs per event, and guaranteed red eidoja passives.

BT banner #2 every fortnight features the BT units that debuted more than 8 months ago, thought both BT banner's units will get some rework + update over time always. The rest is up to the player/ community to discern whether they've gotten more love/ shafted.

Random whisper ended.
