These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



My only III synergy is Lust Dagger and Elder Staff, so I'm tempted to pull again on OK1, but I only have 75 mythril and I also really want to make sure I have enough for a pull on the fest banner, XIV, XIII, and that nutso mage Nightmare banner that comes after it, so I probably shouldn't pull here. Way too many absurd banners all grouped together.

Only a bit over 50 mythril and I'm tempted to go for OK's banner 1 again but I've already ended up with luneth's dagger and 2 of arc's robes so if I want OK's BSB I guess I'll just use one of the multiple RWs with it and keep saving for disappointment from FF14 and/or FFT.

I had a draw for FFX that was Apocalypse, Force Knuckle, Hunters Blade.

Pulled again for another Force Knuckle. That was probably the best I did so far but fingers crossed. I've seen screens of people pulling a full eleven of five tiers and it makes me cry on the inside.

Personally it helps me to think of this every time I think of gatchas.

I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe just the title. Or maybe the general rule at the bottom.

At least you have a Platinum Sword. I've spent over 700 mythril on banners that have it featured or part of a lucky draw, and still don't have one. Some things just aren't meant to be.

My vault and my inventory are full now. Are 3*s worth keeping around? I read somewhere that a 3*++ with synergy is slightly better than a 5* without, but it doesn't seem even remotely worth it to upgrade them when I could be upgrading real 5*s instead. Is it safe to sell all these 3*s I've been hoarding?

my one claim to fame in this thread is from 100 mythril spent on the banner where it first showed up i got 4 platinum swords, plus ovelia's staff and a defender sword for agrias.

fingers crossed that lightning will strike the same place twice with orlandeau's banner

It's worth it to spend a couple mythril on vault slots, since you get 50 slots per mythril. Otherwise, it really depends on your synergy. I'm doing pretty well overall and have plenty of 5*s and 4*++s in most realms, so I sold all of the 3*s in those, but for realms like FF1 and FF2 where synergy is scarce, it's worth keeping them around.

Well, they said Ceodore wasn't coming to FFRK, and yet... here he is. Next JP event is FF4: The After Years.

Kain gets his alternate "Dragoon of Light" TAY/Dissidia look as a dress record.

Edit: Ceodore 1 is looking like a really solid physical banner. Kain's new lightning-elemental OSB, plus his BSB which gives Enlightning, plus his OSB gains in damage the more he jumps. Yang's got an earth BSB that grants enearth on use, Ceodore's got a Holy DPS/healing hybrid BSB on there and an SSB that grants Enholy .

Ceodore 2 isn't too bad, either. Paladin Cecil's OSB comes back around with Edge's water BSB and Cid's AoE Pentabreak. Porom gets a new BSB is similar to Penelo's, plus Palom gets a tri-element caster BSB. We don't know the commands for the twins just yet, though.

Yeah, seconding the "buy a few slots"; The versatility from having a hundred extra vault slots is worth 2 Mythril in general.

Having said that, I feel like the 3* thing matters a lot more with armor than weapons-good realm specific armor is a lot harder to come by than weapons, and can be worth Dark Matter reforging for, I feel like. Also, anything with special traits, like the various 3* elemental rods(but not the elemental ... was it 13? 12? staves, as their Mag is hopeless...).

Ahriman is kicking my rear end and I have no idea how to fight him.

Aside from a weapon I received recently and a white mage armor I'm pretty screwed in terms of synergy.

Should I wait and save up to do the Dr. Mog relic draw to grab another Scholar's Hat?

Are you hitting him with Blind?

OK with SSB Blindga and Gust will Do Work; don't use him as a white Mage - his medica is percent HP based, and he's much more valuable on offense between soul breaks on this fight.

Also, I see you've got Tidus's apocalypse. That's a perfectly usable weapon in every realm without synergy, especially once you dump 20 Rosetta stones into it (do this do this do this), and give Tidus Sapphire Shot to keep his damage up when not OSBing. Throw in Quina's gold hairpin and Powerchain for extra hilarity.

Also, if you can't beat Ahriman now, you can just wait until after OSBfest/XIV, when you will have gotten at least one but more likely SEVERAL powerful SBs/BSBs but he will have not changed. Mote dungeons keep coming back every month while we keep power creepin' up.

I only have about four or five Rosetta Stones, the last time I used the ones I gained was for Sephiroths One-Winged Angel.

Knowing I can blind him though should be enough to make the fight fair for me.

What other debuffs is he vulnerable to? I know he can be dismissed but that's about it.

As you say, Jecht isn't the final boss. That said, the most recent FF1 event in JP gave us Chaos, so exactly one game has had their actual factual final boss. There are several games which have seen their "final loseable boss" or "'real' last boss", but only FF1 so far has gotten the true final boss.

True enough, and even then they can still bring out the extra boss from the most recent remakes, Chronodia.

Yeah, there's a ton of superboss content from across all the games that they're barely tapped.

I think the only final superboss they've used is the weird Heaven fragment Emperor from Dawn of Rebirth in that recent Emperor event for 2.

(They used Nemesis, but International had Penance for X.)

A friend of mine getting into the game just now is looking at the FF3 banner and considering pulling on it, and I have to ask: does Onion Knight's MC3 ever get added to the hall of rites? He's useless without it and I don't think they have the hones/levels/MCs to clear the event and tackle through to the ++ stage right now. And I can't rightly suggest a friend pull on a banner where they might get two amazing SBs they can nonetheless never use because OK without minmaxing is garbage.

3* equipment is used to shore up realm synergy. If you have enough 4 or 5*s in a realm, you don't need 3*s in that realm.

I'm telling you guys, it'll have been off the market for almost a month when the festival starts, and people will have been using it as their RW and seeing it in multiplayer raids during that time so everyone knows how powerful it is. They don't want people not spending on one of their big quarterly events to just pull on the XIV banner, so they need to make the OSB festival banners competitive with it.
