Here's a collaboration of things we all, including some people from Gamefaqs have figured out about the Gameplay:

 

In the subject of Menus:

 

Starting from the top

 

Daybreak town - Takes you back to the day break town, this is where you see the Encounter Button when a Raid is going on, as well as some players form your current Group.

World - Returns you to the world you were in. If you weren't in any, it brings you to the select menu.

 

Status - Self explanatory, your name, level, LUX etc. is here

 

AP - What you need to do actions with, can be replenished by pressing the button beside it (Potion), the menu for potions comes up even if you have none

 

BP - What you need to carry out Boss Raids, can be replenished by pressing the button beside it (Ether), the menu for ethers comes up even if you have none

The grayed out buttons are also self explanatory since they're in English/numbers, Sound on/off, quality of graphics and Menu

Raid Boss (Purple) - Click this to go encounter a Darkside, only appears during events 

Gift Box - You get rewards from completing missions, you collect them using this

Mission List - Tells you the missions you have to do, and lists the most recent ones you cleared

Story - Recounts the story so far for you

Bottom:

World Select - Choose which world you want to enter with this

 

Raid Boss - Similar to the other Raid Boss button but this one is always here. If there isn't a Raid happening, it will show the LUX conflict of the two Groups competing(See: Raids)

 

Party Menu - Brings you to the party menu

Edit Deck - You can edit the cards in your deck 

Card Synthesis - You can upgrade and synthesis cards you have using other cards you have.

Keyblade Upgrade - Takes you to the menu to upgrade your Keyblade

Card Draw - Brings you to the menu to buy new cards using either Moogle Passes, or Moogle Points.

 

On the subject of cards:

 

The attack cards have two numbers one I believe represents attack power and the other defense. So when the battle starts the game will calculate your damaged dealt based on the attack number and how damage you take based on the defense number. I believe this is why for example at times enemies will deal obscene amounts of damage on a first hit and yet on their next hit they deal pathetic damage, or vise versa. You can switch the cards in your deck, and you can't fuse two cards that are in your deck. Combining two of the same card with the same rarity causes a "Limit Cut". This seems to and increasie its max level by 5 and reduce the number of times you can do another Limit Cut by 1. Though there could be other ways of increasing the max level.

Assist cards are HP bonuses and LUX increased rate. Each one will give a boost, so you should update as soon as possible.
On the subject of worlds:

 

WORLDS ARE NO LONGER BEING UPDATED IN THIS POST DUE TO NEEDING TOO MANY IMAGES AND BEING TOO HARD TO UPDATE. A THREAD WITH WORLD STORY GUIDES SHOULD BE MADE SOON. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOME WORLDS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE THREAD BUT WON'T BE POSTED IN THIS OP.

The story objective battles have the same music the encounter battles do, so if you're trying to figure out what to do challenging a few heartless and seeing if you get the boss music is a good way of doing this.

In Dwarf Woodlands it seems you have to kill the Large Body in front of the Dwarf 's house. After you beat the large body outside and talk to the one that gave you the mission to kill it. After you talk to him you then go talk to doc where the large body was. After this you have to wait until you are level 26 to continue the story.

In Wonderland first you need to speak to the doorknob who is probably telling you you're to big so you need to drink from the bottle, a bottle that a soldier heartless steals. Kill that heartless and talk to the doorknob again to shrink down and enter the forest. From there you need to locate and speak to Alice and eventually during the conversation the white rabbit comes out which she chases after. Chesire cat appears and speaks. You need to be lv14 to enter the Teahouse and talk to the rabbit. After that you can talk to the white rabbit and thanks to help from a friend translating we were able to figure out what he wants you to do. The general gist seems to be the rabbit was running through the earlier part of the forest, fell in the water puddles in there, got drenched, and broke his watch so its missing the 2, 4, 5, and 11. What you need to
do is go back to the water puddle section of the forest and you'll see some blue sparkly spots instead of the usual gold ones. Those sparkly spots contain what I assume to be the rabbit's missing numbers, either way you need them so grab them. Once you've got them talk to the rabbit to complete that story section. After that it's another level requirement for the next section this time level 24!

 

Agrabah's story begins with you finding Alladin collapsed in the sand.

 

There are 2 upcoming worlds, being Beast's Castle and Enchanted Dominion, as found in the game's database.

On the subject of collectible resources:

The sparkles on the maps are collectible items. Even if you can't read Japanese the things you collect are pretty much right where you expect. So if you see a picture of a flower then go to the dwarf woodland's flower patch to find them. These items restock eventually. Many of these items can be used to upgrade your Keyblade and completing quests.
A guide on where to find resources is currently being made on this thread.
 

On the subject of Lux:

Everyone of your union is collecting Lux. At the end of the week all unions will have all the lux they collected tallied up and the three highest ranked Unions all get prizes. (Prizes to be mentioned)

Collecting LUX each week(?) before the LUX reset gives you prizes:

3,500 gives you 2 potions. (a total of 20 AP when used)

5,000 gives 5 bronze moogle tickets.

7,500 gives 3 more moogle cards.

10,000 gives 3 silver moogle tickets.

15,000 gives 1 gold moogle ticket.

20,000 gives 5 ethers.

30,000 gives 5 potions.

50,000 gives 2 gold moogle tickets.

100,000 gives 5 moogle cards.

200,000 gives 3 gold moogle tickets.

300,000 gives 5 gold moogle tickets.

And there are weekly rewards for the people who collect most LUX. They are listed in the link below, in ranking:

On the subject of Moogles:

 

Chest Moogles: Sometimes when you open a chest, a Moogle will pop out of it. If you have purchased the special purple orbs(?), you can trade them in for rare cards that can only be obtainable by trading them with the Moogle. You can also gain a free card by selecting the purple/blue orb in the bottom. It'll most likely be an N/N+ Assist card, but it is possible to find R and R+ cards too.

Card Draw Moogles: You can access these Moogles at any time by clicking the Card Draw icon on the menu. In the "shop", you can purchase cards by using:

 

SR Premium Passes: Extremely rare Moogle Passes that can be turned in for SR cards.

 

Golden, Silver and Bronze Passes: Rare Moogle Passes that can give N+ - R+ Cards. Golden Passes have a better chance to give R/R+ cards than Silver Passes, and Silver Passes have a better chance than Bronze.

 

Moogle Orbs/Pins: Special points that can be acquired easily through quests and as prizes in Raids. For every 200 points you can get a card, with a higher chance to get N+ than R/R+ cards.

 

On the subject of Raid Bosses:

 

Groups-

 

During Raids, each Union will be divided into groups, whose members will be switched every day. Groups can be seen here:

 

 

You can see which group you are in and which group you are going against that day.

 

 What they are-

Raids are competitions between two teams to see which can deal the most damage to the Raid Boss, and who can collect the most daily LUX through them.

 

Over at number 1 you have which team is currently winning the daily LUX competition, below the bar is how much longer the current Raid Boss will stay. Raid bosses always stay for 1 hour, and spawn 20 minutes after the previous one is defeated or escapes. When defeated, the next Boss will be 1 level higher than the defeated one, and when it escapes, it will decrease by 1 level.

Over at number 2 you have the health bar of the Darkside, red is the damage your team did, blue is the damage the other team did, and green is its current HP. Below that is your attack (damage multiplier) options, 1x damage, 2.5x damage, or 4x damage. Each one states its BP cost.

Using the 1BP option can be useful at keeping a Chain. 1 BP is recovered every 15 minutes. Not considering Chains, 4x damage is most efficient option.

Over at number 3 there is the image of a Keyblade. Using that Keyblade against that Raid Boss will give you a "Keyblade Bonus" and you will deal additional damage.

 

If the Raid Boss is low level, it is recommended to use as much BP as possible to kill it faster. However, it's also recommended to spare your BP to use it during LUX UP times.

 

Over at number 4 you have the Chain information. When a team member attacks within 4 minutes of another they get a chain bonus and extra damage is dealt to the Raid Boss. Even if you were the last person to attack you can keep the chain going in hopes others will raise it by attacking. (There is a timer telling you how long you have to do it.) And below number four, if you are on the 3rd tab, there is a history of who attacked last, how much damage they did, when they attacked, and what team they were on.

Your first attack on a Raid Boss doesn't cost BP and is a 4 times damage attack.

 

Every time you attack the Raid Boss, you gain great amounts of LUX, depending on how much damage you dealt to it.

 

Each time a Raid Boss is killed, the next one that day is more powerful. It has a bigger damage boost than HP boost if it has an HP boost. Though people will be doing less damage to it in the later "levels" of it because they won't survive as many hits. Each hour,the raid will be reseted.

 

You can give BP to another player in your Union, by clicking the lack button above the Union Sigil. As you give BP to other players, you will also regain as much BP as you give out. You can give 5BP to other players per day, so I recommend you use this only if you believe that you can defeat the current Raid Boss.

 

Regardless of which team wins, having more LUX or dealing more damage, if a Raid Boss is killed, everyone involved will gain prizes.

It is impossible for a player to survive more than 5 attacks from the Raid Boss.

 

On the subject of Keyblades:

You unlock a different Keyblade every time you finish a world's story, much like usual KH games. You can upgrade your Keblade with raw materials. Keyblades give you boosts based on the command slots. Starlight, for example, will give 10%+ boosts for magic cards when those are used in the second slot and a 10%+ boost for wing/speed/aero attack cards in the third slot. Upgrading you keyblade seems add additional boosts and improve the boosts you already have.

 

An in-progress guide on Keyblade can be found on this thread.

 

On the subject of items:

 

Right now, there are only a few kinds of items:

- Ether (allows recovery of power necessary when fighting bosses, BP)

- Potion (allows recovery of action power, AP)

 

These can be acquired by completing quests.

 

The GIFT BOX contains a lot of useful items for newbies, including a lot of Moogle Passes that unlock rare, powerful cards.

 

About Parties/Friends:

 

How to join a party.

Click the button with the two smiley heads.
 

Then click the bottom right red button.

A menu will pop up saying  "Search".

There are two tabs at the top select the second one.

List of other players with two red buttons out beside them.

Click the first red button. the one right beside the players level.

What you want to look for is a player that has more than one person in their party of 30.

Select the bottom right button when you want to join that persons party.

Select the left red button.

Then you'll be in their party with an AP upgrade.

Will all the cp be gone then, like unspendable? 

I am guessing it will be.

If I've been reading the announcements on the bridge right, you will be unable to collect more CP after the 8th but still be able to spend what you've collected for a number of days afterward.  This is going off of when the event was slated to end Aug 1st and the announcements said you could spend your CP until the 8th.  But that could be because they intended the event to last longer and surprised us with the second half.  It could very well be that once the whole event is said and done the CP will in fact become unavailable.

I was pretty sure the original announcement said it was going until the 8th with no clause of the second week being spending only.

 

 

Here the event info. http://sqex-bridge.jp/guest/information/2051

 

Basically it is a two week event, you now get crystals of light when ever you attack the raid boss. These said crystals can be used to either upgrade a multiplier to get even more crystals or they can be used to get items.

At the bottom is a chart of how many crystals are needed for each level of the multiplier.

 

What was surprised us was the second half of the event adding new things. Though I was more so expecting a restock of the current items, not a new things added.

It appears you are right that we probably will be able to spend crystals for one more week after the event ends. Also it says that the R+ Valor Sora, and the SR+ Mickey are going to have multipliers on their attack power for one week after the event.

Like I said, I could have read the announcements wrong, or gotten the context wrong.  Google translate isn't exactly always coherent...  That being said, I suspected there might be more items added throughout the event; there was only one outfit in the shop after all, and I clearly saw two that were being released for each gender.  But adding the new subspecies and the SR+ card was surprising.  For those people who do manage to rack up a lot of crystals, I hope the shop does stay open past event end, if for nothing else than to let people choose how they're going to spend them.  I myself don't have a whole lot so I'm just waiting patiently for the next campaign

"· "Crystal light" that has been possession "After Trade shop" has been completedBecause you will lose all, please note" I am pretty sure that means your crystal total will be wiped out after the shop is no more, so there is no waiting for the next event/campaign. (I am assuming you meant that and not waiting to attack the next raid boss that appears)Edit: I am just saying the last line in your post seems to imply you are going to save what you have until next event, so I was making sure you realized the total collected probably will be wiped after the shop is gone.

Oh, haha, I just meant I'm waiting for whatever the new event is, since I'm pretty much done with this one. I don't have many light crystals, and I don't see myself getting enough to get any more prizes, unless I can score one of the new outfits.  So I'm not really bothering with it anymore, and focusing on weekly missions and upgrading my Keyblades now.

I found an effective way to buy "Charge Manny" if anyone is interested?  I bought 3000 and got the extra hundred, and bought the black tickets.  I got two SR cards, Genie and Tifa, and two of the new Sora Mermaid R+ cards, which I limit cut and is now happily sitting in my deck.  Initial setup is a little convoluted, but once you have everything set up and are trying to buy again I have a feeling it'll be easier.

 

Does anyone want me to post the info, and should I do it here or make a new thread to make sure people see it?

 

I live in the US btw, but anyone can use any currency as far as I know.

Please tell me how you did that!!!!

and guys...........our union finally got the first rank, I was so happy except.....I didn't get Wisdom Sora card mission!!! Did the prizes change???

Oh man, I'm so bummed........

One more question: Is it impossible to draw a rare card with moogle points?? All I've EVER got were N or N+ cards when I draw with moogle points and I've drawn a LOT of cards....

Yeah, the prizes changed this week... And next week appears will be getting the same prizes. At least if you participate in 50 raids that kill the raid boss you get a permanent AP boost. 

One more question: Is it impossible to draw a rare card with moogle points?? All I've EVER got were N or N+ cards when I draw with moogle points and I've drawn a LOT of cards....

I have probably drawn more, and I can't remember if I have seen it, but I am pretty sure you can it is just set to an extremely low chance.

Edited August 6, 201312 yr by Tigerruss

Anyone know where I can find these things?

In the Dwarf Woodlands after a level 40 story mission I think.

Ahhh. That would be why I haven't seen them yet. Thanks!

One more question: Is it impossible to draw a rare card with moogle points?? All I've EVER got were N or N+ cards when I draw with moogle points and I've drawn a LOT of cards....

 

I think way back at the start when I was drawing sets of 10 over and over again I ended up with 2 R cards.  I've drawn over hundreds of cards from it.  Recently I've oly been getting N+ and N cards from it

Please tell me how you did that!!!!

 

Sure thing!  I was going to make a separate post about it complete with pictures, because it's a little complicated at first, but not as hard as it seems at the same time, if that makes any sense.  I would also recommend making a paypal account if you don't already have one.  The topic should be up sometime tomorrow, because I go into work soon.

This page tells you how to get to the light crystal shop for this final week it will be available. And I believe any crystals not used shall be wiped from the system at the end of this week.http://sqex-bridge.jp/guest/information/2262

I have my guide to buying "Charge Manny" up for anyone who is interested

Does anyone know what you have to do in Wonderland for mission 2-4? I'm going nuts over it.

Also....24 HOUR LUX UP TIME!! I've gained almost 29k and I'm at level 38.

 

Does anyone know the rarity of getting a R/+ from a moogle? One of my friends got an R+ minnie on her first moogle......

I think I might have only gotten an R+ from a moogle like once or twice, and I probably have encountered 300+ of them.

 

Edit: I shall try to find out what to do for mission 2-4, but I don't know off the top of my head.

Edit 2: I looked it up, and you have to go over here.

 

If you end up needing help for 2-5.

 

You find Alice over there, then you go to the room to your left, find the Yellow Opera. kill it, and then talk to Alice again.

I spent ages trying to do 2-4 only to find out I had to talk to a door, I feel stupid....

 

*looks at Tiggeruss' lux amount*  WHAT!? 1 MILLION LUX!!!!!?????? Kudos to you.

It's okay, I spent ages trying to figure out 2-5, and I only had to walk to the left and kill something.... And currently I am upto 1.7mil, there is a nice event going on for people who were able to get all the cards from the shop in the event from the last two weeks.

Aww, what? a special event? Come on! I only got the red neku outfit and a moogle ticket! I got my bangle to 1.4x lux.....

Basically the SR+ Mickey card (that cost 250k light crystals) has a 3X multiplier, the valor form Sora cards have a 1.5x multiplier and then mix that with the 24 hours a day double lux that we are having, you get a huge boost to lux gains this week. (though by maintenance on Japan's thursday in will end all of what I stated)

Oh, that, Well. I do have the Valor Form card from getting to level 20 in the time limit which has the boost so that kinda helps. 35k lux, this is my highest yet.

 

Quick edit: I wonder what the AP cap is? Is it 99 or can it go higher? I thought the max was 80, 50 + Party of 30, but now that i've seen the AP up item, i'm not too sure.

To the best of my knowledge the game hasn't been around long enough for someone to get 20 AP boosts, so if there is a cap at 99, I don't know of it.
