Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (featuring Roy)

Roy has arrived, and on what I'm assuming will be one of the last few non-split banners we get for a very long time, and able to fully benefit from the increased rainbow rate. If you don't have Ramza (Enhancements Any Day Now™) will you be pulling for him? If so, consider screenshotting your pulls and sending them into the survey!

As usual, celebrations and salt are welcome in the comments. (Just be aware that listing your pulls in the comments doesn't get them into the survey; you need to take and submit screenshots for that.)

Summon Survey

Please read the instructions online if you are new to this.

For more information on the different options you can use to send in your pulls (including how to bundle up multiple pulls if you're spending a lot of tickets), check out the instructions.

This is still a new system. Make sure to verify the results of the pull you get, and if there's a mistake please forward the response email to [email protected].

New for this week: still working out some kinks in the system, but I believe I have live updating of the google spreadsheet working, so that's an exciting development.

Pull rates are estimated only; that's why we do the survey! Know your odds before pulling.

FQA

Why do surveys?

Alim publishes the rates for the JP version of the game, but Gumi does not tell us the rates for GL. We think we have a good idea of approximately where they are but the only way to know with any amount of confidence is to collect a statistically significant sampling of data and analyze it for ourselves. We already know that Gumi has historically given us lower rates than JP, but they don't like to admit it. Furthermore, by keeping rates a secret Gumi maintains the ability to change the rates on any banner whenever they see fit to do so, so if they won't give us transparency it's important we keep up the effort on our end to at least hold them accountable.

What are the rates, exactly?

The rates as known are posted here: https://exvius.gamepedia.com/Summon

Also be sure to check the Oddsbitch to know your chances of getting the units you want with the resources you have.

How do I participate?

Please read these instructions first. Take a screenshot or use the built-in Share button whenever you summon on the banner, every time. Then send those screenshots to the appropriate email listed above. You will receive a response listing the units you pulled, and your information will be aggregated with everyone else's. (In the future, you'll be able to view and edit your information, too, so you can keep track of how your pulls compare with the rest of the community's.)

Please commit to reporting all of your pulls, not just the interesting ones. That's the only way we can get meaningful results.

How do I submit 10 1 tickets and EX tickets?

You can submit EX tickets and 10 1 tickets by adding ex to the address you submit to. Note that these will not be counted towards the banner, although they will be useful in tracking the rates in general.

I don't want to do screenshots. Can I submit by text?

I am evaluating options to do this, but there are several reasons I'm committing hard to this new method:

• It's much more difficult for people to troll the results (something we got all the time on the old surveys), and far easier for me to detect and ban people who do.
• It's much easier for most people to submit their pulls without missing or forgetting any. Simply screenshot as you go, and then send them in an email when it's convenient.
• 10 1 pulls are easier for most people, and these are where we get our largest set of data from.
• Ultimately, we are already getting far more accurate data than we ever did under the old system, and that's hard to argue with.

Long story short: screenshots result in better data, and I am reluctant to dilute that quality with text entries. (Although I do want to add support for individual corrections.)

I miss the old way of doing surveys.

I'm sorry.

I got an email back and it lists the wrong units!

First of all, you can reply to that email to cancel your submission.

Second of all, make sure you've followed all of the instructions carefully and correctly. There isn't room for error or creativity in how you submit to this system.

If you didn't make a mistake, you can forward your email to [email protected] and I promise I will get around to looking at it.
