Come Forth, One-winged Angel!

"Absurd. Defeating me is meaningless. You know that more than anyone, Cloud. No matter how many times I fall, your darkness keeps calling me back!" - Sephiroth

● New Epic Medals!

An all-new Epic Medal Carnival featuring Reversed Medals!

Illustrated Sephiroth is a super rare Reversed Medal that does massive damage to all targets! There’s also Crocodile, Mr. Smee, Captain Hook, that can fill your buffing, debuffing, and damage needs! 
Not only that, there’s a small chance of getting an even rarer version that has 1,000 more base strength than the standard Illustrated Sephiroth! 
 
* The rare version of the Illustrated Sephiroth Medal has the boosted strength stat highlighted in yellow, instead of the standard white text. 

* The rare version of the Illustrated Sephiroth Medal can have its Special Attack Bonus strengthened by using the standard version of the Medal as well. 
* However, make sure that you don't fuse the rare version onto a normal version, or else you'll lose the stat boost!

---

But wait, there’s more! If you draw Illustrated Sephiroth before the end of this Epic Medal Carnival, we will be sending you an exclusive Halloween-themed outfit for your avatar! 
In order to be eligible, you must have an Illustrated Sephiroth Medals by October 27, 2016 11:59 p.m. (PT).

[Recon]

I'm digging the flat 2D art for Sephiroth. All hail our master.

 

[Bank]

THANK GOD FOR NO DOUBLE-PREMIUM EMC
Sorry Sephiroth. No orbs, no service.

 

[Sorakh212]

Really wish I could get excited for updates like this but the drop rates in this game are absolutely terrible especially when it comes to getting the medals you want or specific ones.
Ahh well some day Sephiroth...err maybe some day...

 

[JR199913]

O hot damn, Sephiroth in 2D! Looks cuter compared to the 3D version but it still looks so amazing! The Avatar you get with it is meh :/ Especially compared to the Medals you got in the previous draw. Eitherway, Sephiroth, amazing, want. Buuut... now I need some advice. THanks to the increase of Jewel missions I aquired more then 3k Jewels in a small amount of time. So, now they introduced Sephiroth wich is a medal I want. And, in this deal you can also get the Ventus and Aqua Medals. So 3 medals I want. Is this the right time to draw? Looking at the past draws and our increasing odds, should I wait? We just had a Light and Dark Event, so there is a chance there won't be a deal with both Sephiroth and Aqua and Ventus in one. And in this deal there are alot of Medals. I think almost every Epic Medal is in there, wich also hurts the odds of me getting a Aqua/Ventus Medal. But this deal does guarantee 2 Epic Medals at one of the new medals. So in 1 draw I would have a 1/4 chance of getting Sephiroth and a 2/65 chance of getting a Aqua/Ventus medal. So 1/4, 1/65 and 1/65. Should I use 3k Jewels on this or should I wait and hope for a better deal? I'd rather not buy Jewels :/ (But then again... the Story Quests did resume today, so we got succes in our protest?).

 

[Patateman]

Well the chance to get them are so small that it's only up to you.
It's sure that sephiroth will come back later (check the previous jpn deal with all the illustraded/epic medal).
The deal seems good, but so many crap medal, and futhermore with no orbs already filled ...

 

[catcake]

More story quests yay! It was about time. The deal is pretty meh, nothing I really want which is actually good because I'm only at 2k jewels.

 

[Chaser]

It infuriates me to no end that they ask people to follow them on Twitter when they don't communicate anything there anyways.

No message about these story updates (that went up after the other notices, please decide on a single time!).
No message about the EMC's.

When they do tweet, it's not even worth it. They have a LOT of issues that they need to resolve and the need to communicate more is very high on the list.

You honestly would think they would have given out a pre-update that story quests were coming after the backlash of that vague announcement :/

 

[Patateman]

Worst no official facebook page ...
The community manager really sucks.

So I guess that means I won't draw for now and await a better deal. Thanks for the help.

Atleast we got the 3k Jewels, so I don't mind. They put it in the game notices anyway, and I actually look more often at the game notices then that I look at Twitter (wich is never <.<).

Really? I always see them around 11 AM. Same time every week. Usually a few minutes before you post them.

I kinda liked the suprise. Just a normal day, then suddenly some new Story Quests. But, was this Story Quest on schedule, or did they just admit that they made a stupid mistake? I thought it would continue again in January.

maybe they think global players love surprise. ninja update is always makes you excited when reading the notices. gg

i've mentioned this before and i believe it's pretty obvious. they only said that the skuld quest will be released on JAN (quest 526) that means we have 3 updates till JAN. they didn't stated that they won't release the story update at all. and it seems it would be one update each for OCT,NOV,DES .

 

[Chaser]

What 3k jewels?

They put it in the game notices anyway, and I actually look more often at the game notices then that I look at Twitter (wich is never <.<).p

When you look at the Japanese twitter account, they tweet at least once a day. Often more. They tweet about errors, they tweet about new medals, they tweet about new quests. In the 13 days that it's been October, the global team have tweeted 3 times despite there being 13 notices.

The communication between the Japanese account and the fans is healthy, and a good way to grow the brand. It promotes the idea that they are fans, they are listening, and they notice the same things everyone else does. Heck, the Japanese account tweeted a big apology earlier for an incorrect banner in a tweet. The global doesn't even acknowledge when they update notices, like when the notice for Proud Mode quests was updated to reflect it's coming in 2017 instead of the vague time frame they gave.

Edit: ALSO

Lately their notices have been full of weird errors as well:

The recent update for Beast's Castle has the logo for Castle of Dreams.
The HSC is currently glitched and people are getting scores over 20 million.
The login bonus was incorrectly given out.
The wrong titles have been given out on multiple occasions.
They've had raid boss issues.
They've had a Quest 999 glitch that took them forever to fix.

The global team seems to have no idea how to add to the game without breaking anything, and barely acknowledging when they diddly up. They need to open the channels of communication up. They need to be more active with engaging with the fans. They shouldn't slap a "follow us for the latest news" tag at the end of each notice if they're not going to do anything with it on their social media.

The Japanese account succeeds by increasing it's range of notices so more players can notice. KHUX NA is relying on people opening up the app each day to see what is new, which can result in a decrease of activity if people run the chance of opening it up and seeing nothing new and then not bothering to open the app up again. It's fallen to the fansites to get this news out when that really shouldn't be the case, especially with how fansites get treated by Square Enix.

I apologise for the long, off-topic rant but my gears are really grinding right now.

It's suppose to be every day at the same time, except quite a few times there are notices that go up later that really have no reason to do so. For example, the notice for Story quests came out 2-3 hours after the other notices.

 

[Dandelion]

SO HOW ABOUT THEM STORY UPDATES, EVERYBODY.

 

[appleboy82791]

Did anyone else notice that the world icon for all of the Beast's Castle missions is actually the Castle of Dreams icon?
I'm pretty sure we should get 3K jewels for that error :wink:

 

[Sephiroth0812]

SO HOW ABOUT THEM STORY UPDATES, EVERYBODY.

Huh? What about them?
Shouldn't those be already known ones from the JP version?

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

I can't be happy with this story update when it is 1) a month late 2) has a bunch of errors 3) considered an afterthought by the team.

Story update should have been the first thing in that update.

It is in Chaser's long rant of anger. Lol

It was a joke, sometimes old people make jokes.

I just think the entire thing is funny, honestly. Like, we can get mad but at the end of the day what can you do but let Square know what's up and then laugh about the ridiculousness.

Honestly, UXNA is now dead to me.~

I blame the lack of smilies and it being text only so I misread the intention. ;P


That's indeed it. Ranting here more than once is also somewhat superfluous as it doesn't change anything. Repeatedly ranting at an address where they see it might have an effect eventually...perhaps.

Although I do not play UX myself, I do follow it due to the story stuff and I'm honestly a little surprised how sloppily SE's western department handles the whole thing in general.

 

[kirabook]

It's come to a point where I'm like, "Shouldn't I be rolling in jewels right now if this were on the JP server"?

They seriously do not care. I guess they don't want money to spend on this game. I think at this point, not even whales are giving them any dough.
