It would be helpful if there were. I'm struggling to find the correct book in the missions tab of the game.

I've found the book of Trials, that's the book you need. But I can't open it with screen recognition on. Turning it off means I always lose my place.

Yeah I'm wondering if there's a centralized place that the missions are shown so I don't have to do this with every book. The only one I've found so far is out of date. I've asked on reddit, though. At least worth a shot.

So I've reached nightmare dungeons, but I'm starting to realize I'm far too slow on selecting moves especially soul breaks when someone has multiple. For whatever reason it makes me choose soul break, then the soul break, then I have to turn off screen recognition, turn it back on again, then find the dialog that says close or select. Does anyone have any advice for this? I don't want to auto battle because I think it takes away from the game as a whole. I also don't want to just stop playing, either.

Okay I am gonna post this here, I was the original poster of the ffrk topic, I've been playing the game since the level cap was 50 however long ago that was. I atempted to make a guide for playing the game, I still play ffrk, and I still play the game with 100 percent no sight needed however, if you have a sighted friend around, sometimes it can help if your stuck. So I'll atempt to explain in as great of detail as I can how to navigate every screen, I'm not really gonna do more then that as it seems a lot of other people have already explained things as well. First off, I will say that the tutorial portion of the game has changed drastically, if we could get someone who hasn't played the game to explain the new tutorial and if they were able to complete it and how, that would be awsome.
So, I'm gonna start off with the main screen, which is the screen when you first start the game, if your a returning player it will just have the play button and manage account and something else, don't remember the order but you can swipe through the screen using voice over.
When you press play you will be taken to either the login collection if you haven't collected rewards, the main screen with announcements at the bottom, or just the main screen. To collect your login rewards, you need to find the okay button, you can either swipe through the now long list of items, cause ffrk updated so now it gives you a preview of what you get when you log in each day. So what I do to get past that, is theirs usually a system error thing that popps up below the login bonus. if you navigate by headings it puts you one flick to the right of the okay button, so just flick left once and hit okay. For the announcements screen, theirs a heading that you can navigate to that says, announcements, if you flick right from that you can see the different categories. if you click on a category, you can then navigate to the title of each announcement by headings. you can usually get the announcement to pop up so you can read it by pressing on the image portion if you flick right from the heading of the announcement you can find it. To exit the announcements screen you simply need to flick down to the close button. I usually switch the category to misc, because their are very few announcements in misc and you usually don't have to flick right a bunch of times to find the close button. Next, is the main ffrk screen, this screen can't be navigated using voice over, so you will need to shut voice over off to navigate this screen but fear not, as the screen layout is pretty straight forward and simple, I'm gonna try and explain in as great of detail where you press on the screen to get certain menus or options to ppop up. First off when you start off, or when I start off, I always take my finger and slide it from left to right, this moves the screen to the first set of options on the screen so it's always a good starting point. So, if we start at the verry bottom of the screen, we're talking on the new iphones it would be close to where you pull up the home button. From left to right, we have, I'm pretty sure a world button or some form of , that from any menu will take you back to the home screen, I'm not completely sure on this one cause it's right next to another very important button, the back button which does what it says and takes you back a screen. Then to the right of the back/world buttons, is the party button, which will open up your party screen, allowing you to change parties, formations, whatnot. Pretty much anything to deal with your party which we will get in to at a later time. The next button you will find to the right of party, is yoru equipment and upgrades button, which takes you to the screen that deals with upgrading your equipment, combining it, buying abilities the whole 9 yards, more will be explained on that screen later. The final button to the right of equipment and upgrades, is your relic draws screen, which you will be visiting a lot to get new equipment, relic draws are basically the only way to obtain the most powerful gear in the game. If we go up a little bit from the bottom of the screen, starting on the far left, you will have the realm dungeons screen, this is where most new ffrk players should go to not only finish parts of the tutorial and missions, but to accumulate a literal crap ton of mythril for doing relic draws with. I'll go in to more detail on this screen later as well, as their is something you can do to make it read easier then it does on initially entering the screen. And make it much easier for you to select realms. I'm pretty sure,, but to the right of realms should be events, the realm portion takes up the first half of the screen just above the back and party buttons, the events takes up the right portion above equipment and relics. The events screen is where you will do most of the bi-weekly and monthly and seasonal and all that events. I could be wrong though and record dungeons might be in between them, but I'm pretty sure that if you go up just a little bit farther, and click in the center of your phone, you will click on record dungeons. The Record dungeons are a relatively new edition to the game, only about 2 or so years old if I remember correctly. I'll go in to more detail about that screen later as well. Now is where it getts a bit tricky I don't know all the rest of the buttons but I know where the important ones are, if you go up to like the top of your phone on the far left side, go down like a quarter of the way from the top. And press you should enter your item chest, you will know if the music changes to like a guitar sounding song which incidentally is a remix of the chocobo song. This screen can be navigated using voice over. Just a little bit above your item chest button and easily accidentally pressable when you are atempting to enter your item chest is the announcements button which you already know how to get out of. Then on the far right hand side of your phone in the top right hand corner is the button to get in the the games config, and also to the help and friends list. Right below that button is the button to get in to the item exchanges menu which I will go in to more detail about later. Then right below that button is a third button, which takes you in to the missions screen which used to be pretty insignificant until the latest update. now remember how we swiped from left to right at the beginning of all this? Well, with voice over off, if you swipe right to left, it will change the options at the bottom portion where you would click for the realm dungeons or the event dungeons screen. it will change the options to, powerup, then nightmare/magisite, then cardia islands, then moat dungeons.  I will go in to more detail on those screens later on as well, I actually think I'm gonna conclude this post with the main screen so I can get some feedback on how I did describing it, I know their were some portions I wasn't sure on, and I'm sorry about that, but I feel like this post is getting rather long.

I've honestly gotten as far as nightmare dungeons before stopping. I'm too slow in manual battling and auto battling isn't getting the job done. Hopefully people have better luck with this though.

2020-12-17 23:53:10

I can definitely help you out with nightmare dungeons. what is it your having problems with? What about them makes it too fast for you, honestly if you have access to awakenings, nightmare fights should be a piece of cake for you.

2020-12-17 23:57:02

@buu If I may ask, how do you get the realm dungeons to read easier? I've just kind of been tapping and praying... although I'm probably going to feel like an idiot after someone says how.

2020-12-18 00:16:28 (edited by buu420 2020-12-18 00:18:40)

Okay so er, theirs a button at the very top of your screen, I don't remember if its in the center or towards the right hand side but if you press it it, it will change the layout completely, if you then press in the center of your screen you can confirm that it worked cause you will hear a sound like a door closing. if the music doesn't change, turn voice over on and see if it has a data download dialogue box if it does, press okay, then the music should change to final fantasy 1 music. From then on out when you click in to the realm dungeons screen you can navigate by realm by flicking to the left and right with voice over turned off of course. And when you do your flicking motion do it in the same spot roughly as the door would be. It will make a sound to let you know you flicked, then you press in the middle, and it will put you in that realm, from their you can turn voice over on and navigate the dungeons list like you would in an event. From final fantasy 1, if you flick from right to left, it will move up in numbers, if you flick from left to right, it will cycle backwards. One final thing, when your in the dungeons selection screen where you can see the list of dungeons with voice over on if you shut voice over off, and press in the top right hand corner of your screen roughly where config would be on the main screen, it will switch between classic and elite dungeons. Elite dungeons are just harder versions of the classic ones.

Yeah it could just be that I don't have the right team. Auto battles do stupid things like cast protectga repeatedly instead of heal, and when I do it manually I'm just going far too slowly.

Silly Gohan, animals don't eat people. People eat animals.

2020-12-18 01:23:12 (edited by buu420 2020-12-18 01:25:12)

Well, first off, remember that the way auto battle works is it always casts the ability on the left so keep that in mind when you are choosing your abilities this holds true for soulbreaks as well. So all the abilities you want it to cast, put on the left, also set the speed setting to 3. I don't know why but professional or what I would consider professional players have told me that setting your speed to 3 optimises auto battle. Also, I would say that if your using spells like protectga your not using the right setups. First off, you should never ever use protectga ever in a fight like that. The idea is to maximize damage, for nightmare setups you can go a bit crazy too, so for instance, the one for the combat ability crushdown Bring 4 heavy hitters, like tidus, cloud, zidane, barts, people like that. Also if I'm remembering, you can take roaming warriors to the nightmare battles, the only roaming warrior you should ever care about, unless in special situations, is tyro's divine veil grimuar, in fights you can't use him, sentinals tome, unless you have a soulbreak in your party that raises defense and resistance a very large amount. The way to get protect and shell on your party, or the best way you do that in endgame content is to use the new healer single cast glints, or if you really need protect and shell, a soulbreak that gives it to you, you shouldn't be sacrificing your ability slots for protect and shell.

I also would like to comment, I've beaten all the nightmare dungeons, and am currently working on all the 5 star magesite fights. So, I can tell you that they are doable.

2020-12-18 01:43:55 (edited by death 2020-12-18 01:45:36)

Huh okay I'll have to change things up. What should I use with a healer?

Silly Gohan, animals don't eat people. People eat animals.

2020-12-18 01:56:55

The only 2 spells you ever want with your healer, are ultra cure, and curada. Also, make sure you use a healer with a last stand soulbreak, also put maco might, or doctor mogs teachings on said healer, so that way when you start the fight they can use their healing soulbreak right off the bat, you'll want the last stand up constantly last stand not only helps you live through nasty attacks, but it letts you know when your characters are starting to die or getting close to death. Cause it plays a sound when it triggers.

2020-12-18 02:07:41

Right. Looks like I"ll have to go through my soul breaks via that online exporter or w/e.

2020-12-18 02:11:43 (edited by buu420 2020-12-18 02:16:54)

Er, the best way to go through soulbreaks, I've found is to find who you wanna check out, and either, go in to their soulbreaks menu, if you double tap and hold on one of the soulbreaks up at the top, it will bring up a window down below you can see the info for your soulbreak in, the other method is to go to your upgrade equipment list, and sort the weapons/armor by series, then double tap and hold on any weapon you want info for and it will bring up a window at the bottom with the info. I believe you can quickly navigate to it with heading nav as well.

2020-12-18 02:49:17

Okay sorry for double post, but I just went and reviewed davids guide on accessibility and I felt like I should make a couple comments. First off, I will say that the fat chocobo screen is not necessary, I will say that I have almost a million greens cause I never use it, sure I miss out on the mythril and potions, but stamina is almost a moot point in ffrk now, I never run out so stamina potions which was all I cared about I don't buy anymore. Also, a note on exiting battles if you die, instead of risking spending your mythril and possibly restarting an unwinnable fight just restart ffrk, press the play button and a dialogue box will come up asking if you wanna continue the battle. Press cancel if you wanna exit the fight. Then it may take you to a dungeon like screen, to exit out of that screen, press on the top right hand corner of your phone, and it will bring up a camp option, look for retreat with voice over, and then a confirmation will come up, just hit retreat and follow the next prompes. THeirs  a new alternative way to get to the retreat portion, but I don't remember what it is off hte top of my head.

2020-12-18 06:13:46

Anyone tried Screen recegnition?

2020-12-18 15:19:17

Ugh I don't think I have any decent healers, also yes it's a majority of how I play the game.

Silly Gohan, animals don't eat people. People eat animals.

2020-12-18 15:51:45

If you have any enema lenses I would suggest getting innocent cure for Aeris or song for spera for Una. Song isn’t quite as good because it doesn’t instant cast but for the nightmare dungeons it should be sufficient. But innocent cure not only gives you last stand but it reduces delay of physical characters actions for I believe it’s two or three turns.

2020-12-18 16:16:08

I'll do that. Thanks for the advice. I'm honestly looking forward to wait mode when it drops in a few months.

Silly Gohan, animals don't eat people. People eat animals.

2020-12-18 17:09:05

Hmm, I don't keep up on ffrk news so I don't really know what that is, I like being surprised. I know this is odd, but another really good source of info for ffrk, is if you play the squaresoft mud, their is an ffrk channel on their, and their are some really good players on that channel who will give you advice on building teams, and I've even given them a list of what soulbreaks I had available to me and they were able to help me build some pretty nasty teams. Another thing I keep forgetting to mention that will definitely help later on in the game is party favorites. Party favorites are basically partys that you build, and can save so that way you can quickly switch to the desired party with ease, already fully equipped and everything. The favorites button is in the party screen literally right above the back button, on the far left side of your phone, if you click in to it, you can assign favorites, and then you can get to them later by navigating by headings. Sadly theirs only a max of 30 favorites you can assign, if their is more then that you don't get to see it cause after 30 your screen is full I'm thinking. So you may end up having to recycle some, since later magesite battle require you to have both a physical and magical elemental party for each element.

2020-12-18 17:16:43

is there a way to get the party members to actually read? Whenever I go over them it just says loading / there current level. The immages aren't labeled so I just need to figure out the order however I can't see that working for much longer.

2020-12-19 01:38:58

Er, you can sort your party members by series, so that way you can add them like that if you double tap and hold on a member it will tell you their name if you go down to the bottom, I think you can nav by heading. once you figure out the order for each series, it won't be to hard to switch members. Maybe that's something we could ask the reddit community to do for us, give us the character order for each series when sorted that way.
