Bad MP players failed to assist in mastering the 140 Diff Dark Dragon so I missed out on the 6 greater orbs.

I know that's worth 20 stamina to re-run with a good group, but is it worth 60 stamina to re-run solo if I don't come across a good group? Getting 6 Greaters from 2 levels of a daily would be a solid result, but there's 0 chance at a Major which may make it negative EV.

Yep.

I have 25 and only used 8. :haw:

On the other hand, I have 4 characters at level 99 by soloing them through the OK XP dungeon and I might have a 5th done before it goes away.

TAY is little different from a fan game made in RPG Maker in overall quality. They even went an extra step and ripped off Chrono Trigger for their plot.

You only really need 10. Red Mage and Sage give pure stats and Sage in particular is sorta overkill, unless you really need maximum heals-the sphere has like half of the Mind gains from Onion Knight's sphere record.

... Note that his base Mind is, at 99, as good as Yuna's on base anyways.

But yeah, for every single sphere it's 12.

There's like a dozen more characters they could add from Tactics.

Also they could throw in Dimensions, Kingdom Hearts, and other related IP. How about Alex Baldwin and Steve Buscemi from The Spirits Within?

Thankee kindly.
Outside of Umaro, there are only a few (temporary) playable characters from the main games that they haven't added yet. Banon from VI, Kiros/Ward from VIII, Vossler/Reddas from XII, Lebreau/Gadot from XIII. And if you're including guest characters, Cid/Aria/Alus/Doga/Unei from III.

I'm betting they're going to add Gaius for the next FFXIV event.

Then I can see us getting Estinien, Ysayle, and Haurchefant after that, if they skip and/or just power through all the 2.1-2.5 to get to Heavensward.

I definitely think we'll get the guest characters from VIII and XII eventually. Vossler's both a temporary party member and a fairly significant boss and both of those archetypes have made the jump to RK characters before, and Reddas is in the party for a pretty long chunk of the game just like Larsa. Banon and the other NORA members are [ii]super[/i] minor in the grand scheme of those games (well, Banon is decently important plot-wise but not really as a party member), but I guess after adding characters like Dorgann they're stretching pretty hard for people to add already.

Estinien at least is a no-brainer since XIV has no Dragoon yet. Ysayle would need serious though to make her not worse than Alphinaud, especially since she'd be extremely focused on Ice, which as we've seen is one of the less-supported elements. Haurchefant would have similar problems except his run into Minfilia instead.

The arguable bigger issue is how if at all Record Keeper will represent Bard and Warrior - I can't name a single Bard that figures into the main plot other than the Ranger of Darkness, and the only Warriors/Marauders by the same token are Moenbryda and The Warrior of Darkness, and none of those three were relevant for any significant length of time.

I give them a pass on FFT because they need to trickle those characters into the game slowly. We're seeing what happens when most of the main characters from the main series already exist.

I just think it's silly that they're reaching all over the anthology stuff for filler in the meantime.

FFT is my favorite FF game by a light year and it was the #1 thing that my friends used to get me to start playing this game earlier this year. "They're introducing FFT characters next month" was all I needed to hear. The fact that Ramza and Agrias ended up being top-tier characters makes it even better.

I'm super hype for TG Cid now. Does anyone know when that event starts?

I'm still holding out hope they dive into other series.

Oh they should add the iconic monsters as characters by the way.

That or they could just release said monsters as summons.

Imagine Ozma, Ruby or Emerald, or even Penance as a tier six summon.

Is gafgarion any good? It was fun to steal his blood sword during the fake execution.

Elena should be tier five white, tier four support.

Tseng based off my play through of VII. Should be tier four darkness, five sharpshooter, three or four white magic. Maybe something obscure like knight or thief.

I was thinking Tseng should be the support, Rude should be the physically stacked white mage to Reno's physically stacked black mage, Elena would be thief/machinist.

On the one hand I'm all for following the Canon and building the characters as such. On the other hand, canonically I don't recall Elena doing anything other than being sad that Tseng died so how about we just take this opportunity to not make the only girl of the group a White Mage and Support?

His BSB looks pretty good, from what I've seen of it. I wouldn't mind picking it up really, for some reason I always really liked him as a character.
