Just the lmao for the Buster Sword after I pulled three Ragnarok. I guess Zack can use it for a stat stick.

I thought some items weren't gonna be available in this PULL though

What I'm curious about is why they're coming out with this new thing with only three USBs out. Maybe they intend for them to coincide?

There are five USBs (Tyro, Faris, Eiko, Aerith, Vanille). USBs aren't really a new tier of SB, they're just the heal/utility version of OSBs.

Pulled in hopes of getting relevant FF7 and 8 soul breaks. Got Bartz's Cloak and Galuf's Kaiser Knuckle. Mission not successful.

Though I should start considering giving Bartz the 6* spellblade skill now.

Sorry I took this pull from someone else since I already have one of these :(



The Cuirass is pretty nice too, I think.

Don't combine the Ragnaroks, right?

Ugh, pulls like this making me waver on not pulling. I could really use more V and VIII synergy, but I just know I'll end up with old VII junk...

But no, I wouldn't combine the swords. That sword has 167 atk when fully upgraded, while my Excalibur (IX)+ with 19 rosetta stones only has 156 ATK.

I was really hoping for one of tifa's wepons, or drat well anything from ffv. Instead this lucky draw decided to further empower my ffviii synergy with rinoa's first sb and seifer's ssb.

This makes both my third sword and third throwing magic weapon in ffviii. I could combine the first two, but they're better and I guess I can keep this for fujin. This does mean I'm now fully future proofed with 5* weapons for everyone in ffviii except selphie. And I mean seperate weapons too. I also now have both of seifer's defensive boosting sbs, and all of rinoa's sbs save her bsb. I guess I can use her en-earth sb to power her original double quake sb? Maybe just spamming the en-earth one would be better though.

Edit: oh wait, poo poo. Laguna can use swords. That means I can double combine irvine's guns, and give laguna the revolver. Thus letting squall use his bsb sword, and seifer his ssb sword.

Cool, synergy armor with en-element, with that and Air Knife Bartz will be a wind god. That BSB looks really meh though, probably gonna stick with Relm SSB. Wish one of the commands did damage instead of... +Mind? Why?

drat good for 25 mythril though. Might be able to field a mage team in VII now. Aren't raise medicas pretty decent for Multiplayer? Guess I can look forward to that.

Wasn't gonna pull on this one because V, VII, and VIII are all my strongest-synergy realms (not that that means much right now), but I couldn't resist.



Pretty drat happy about having an OSB finally, especially since I have Cloud's SB and Bartz's Cape. I don't have water-god Tidus but I guess I'll have Wind-god Cloud instead.

Party Dress seems kinda meh, just because I don't recall seeing many earth-weak enemies.

Aevis Killer seems pretty drat good, though. It's not quite Faris's BSB, but unless I'm mistaken it will stack with Full Break and Breakdowns, and Ark Blast if I ever get that, I guess. Won't say no to more mitigation, especially without a native Wall. So many characters, so few eggs...

Don't discount any BSB medica with a spammable medica command. Being able to heal your whole team every turn for like 6 turns in a row (the medica SB itself, followed by 5 uses of the medica command) is very powerful and beats out the high regen from Relm's SSB by a fair margin.

Also, yeah... sorry everybody. I don't know what this country is thinking, or how so many people could think this was a good idea.

I'm with you friend. I'll still be out and proud as always but I'm terrified. Sending love and hugs to everyone in the coming storm.

In an attempt at on topic discussion, I think my mage meta team has surpassed my actual A Team by a mile. Having sheepsong and strange vision to stack MAG to the sky along with Maria BSB and Russia SSB for some sweet DEF and aoe damage... man I can't wait to take this for a spin.

Edit: Phone posting hazards. I meant Rydia SSB but I'm leaving that auto correct because it's hilarious.

I just unlocked Cid's XP RM, and reading about it, someone mentioned that you can tell if it procs at the beginning of a fight because there's a little puff of smoke animation or something? Does that mean you can just SL sundaily rounds until it procs to guarantee double XP for that character, or is that info incorrect?

No, things like RM procs and drops are determined as soon as you spend the stamina.

It would absolutely be worth S/Ling for a 20% proc for double EXP, like super worth it.

Right, I forgot about the ones released post-Anniversary. Still, I would've thought they'd have ramped up production of OSBs/waited until they had more than five of the new type/waited six months before introducing a New Thing. I thought wrong!

I'm slowly working towards Luneth's XP RM and going from 80 to 99 is just a brutal grind regardless. 30 stamina is an hour and a half of waiting, 4 S/Ls is like 30 seconds. Spending like 5 minutes across the entire day S/Ling to get essentially double Sundailies would definitely be worth it for powerleveling the hell out of someone in a pinch, but otherwise yeah it would be pretty tedious.

Then again I'm terrible and I end up S/Ling that many times for pretty much every Ultimate and above fight anyway when I screw up or the RNG just shits on me, so I'm just used to it at this point.

It was less about eligibility and more about curiosity about DeNA's representative timeline - Prishe was a shoo-in given her popularity and Dissidia appearances, but she's also post-Shadow Lord in plot importance. Curilla and Ayame could be seen as representatives for Bastok and San d'Oria along with Shantotto for Windurst. But there's an even simpler explanation with Prishe - the Rose Quartet. :downs:

My RW was summoned 86 times yesterday. :catstare: I guess my triple-pull of the IX hairpin made my Tidus extra enticing.

Is the OK banner so exciting to everyone because of the OK relics? Because I don't see myself ever wanting to use the character . . . and I've pretty much exhausted my mythril reserves for now. None of the other upcoming banners look tempting to me, so I am probably just going to save up for XIV.

I just asked the webmaster. He said "That's because the latest update borked my backend. I've been working like a madmen to figure out the new encryption and get it back. I'm working on it as we speak. Reverse engineering is fun (not)." He says he's close to figuring it out, though, so fingers crossed.
