1/11, terra's osb, which is my first so that's cool. Still no wall. Debating pulling again but probably won't.

2x50myth on OSOL1, Minwu's SSB, Kain's BSB, Vanille's BSB. OSBs continue to elude me but otherwise I am stoked with these results.

"Let's pull on banner 1 and see if I get anything to bolster my Fire Imperil team."

"Well, okay then."

I guess this is karma from having beaten FFI like, 30 minutes prior to pulling. Now I have to beat FFII before XIV rolls around because superstition.

Don't do it, you got most of the good prizes and Terra's OSB will be back. Like on the totally insane Ultros Select banner.

Yay for poor judgment. Dollar draw got Tiara, should've stopped there, but oh no, gotta take that chance. 2/11, Healing Staff and Platinum Sword dupes. Good job, Feral, you dumbass.

It's not a lucky draw. You can still get off-banner 1/11, to say nothing of dupes.

Granted, you can get that on any G5 pull, but one must remember to keep themselves realistic. Even with the best OSBfest banner, one can still strike out.

By which I mean I figure I am absolutely going to strike out. I will probably eat those words in three hours but I'd rather eat them now. :shepface:

Turns out I ate my words in a way that I did not expect!

First 11-pull got me a Healing Staff II. :shepface: I hate Minwu and have better medicas.

Out of frustration, I pulled again! Dupe Platinum Sword and Tin Armor. :shepicide: Tin Armor and an 8* Loud Stick is nice, but it's not "this is worth 100 mythril" nice...

I don't even know what or when the Ultros Orthros Select banner is, but who's to say they won't replace relics for our unique western experience?

gently caress. Yeah I better wait on this before I really feel like rage-pulling. I shouldn't be upset with Kain BSB at all, but I already had SG and for healing I already have Eiko and Aerith BSB's (but more options are nice I guess)

Hmmmmm, I was saving for FF14 and get some fukkin' Leylines admist others, but I'm looking at OSB1 and OSB3, honestly. The only duplicate I'd get on 1 is Thyrus. I'm looking pretty good in my own relic collection, so, really, I'm still debating. My physical A-Team is pretty complete at this point. Having a Mage with an OSB would be pretty brutal. I DO lack native Shout, but that's hardly an issue, honestly. I have SG so I can just RW it.

I DO own Cloud's OSB, Faris' BSB/SSBs, same for Bartz, every godamn Tyro SB somehow and Arc's SSBs.

For OSB3, it would be to get a shot at Maria's BSB

Pulled once, got Platinum Sword and Refia's BSB.

This thing looks pretty fuckin' rad. Weird that it's on a bracer though. Combine this with Balthier's SSB and poo poo will burn.

Ended up with my first OSB. And I just pulled Locke's imperil fire BSB from the celerity banner. Looks like I have the start of a fire team.

It's far more useful if you have Terra's SSB2, since that provides Enfire. So the usual order of things is "charge up with Wrath, drop Fire Beam, drop Scorching Flames, laugh at quint-nines".

there was a mean thing here before, but now there is a dog
2/11, Kain BSB and some rusty useless armor.

Decent enough-it's probably the worst 1% on there... and every 1% on there is fantastic and it's probably my best beatstick Burst by a non-trivial amount now. Tin Armor's a good stat stick armor to round it out.

Wish I didn't mildly dislike Kain though. I mean c'mon man you got mind controlled how many times. Use another plot device, writers!

Went 3/11: got Healing Staff II, Tiara, and Abel's Lance. Neither of the two duds for me on the banner so I'll loving take it. Really tempted to try again for Platinum Sword but it doesn't make sense when I've got four dupes and an item I don't want on the banner (that I'm probably going to get from XIV anyway), so Shout will still be my RW for the foreseeable future I guess.

On the one hand, my streak of not quite pulling what I *want*, very specifically, from a banner, continues. I was kind of pulling for the Terra combo or Kain's lance.

On the other hand,



Yep! No dupe Plat Sword, the choice healer Soul Break for II CM content and a solid A-Team mainstay for a while? Don't mind if I do! Healer BSB still eludes me but I still have some four pulls on XIV and Banner 3 to strike that vein and it's hard as poo poo to be mad about not having to pull for II synergy ever again and landing what might be the best offensive relic on the banner anydangway!

I got a single Minwu stick from my pull. Better than a dupe, worse than a BSB. But still a stat stick I didn't have beforehand.

Here's hoping one of you with a new Shura Gauntlet put her up as your RW. It'll especially come in handy for the Ultimate+ in the XIV event. Isgebind is a flighty little bastard. Congrats to everyone pulling new shinies, and for those getting dupes or saving your mythril for elsewhere, I'm pourin' a rum and coke out for ya. Cheers!

Decided to take a break from orb fest and do the boss thingy that just dropped. Terra with her osb on a fire vulnerable boss is hilarious. I took Locke with his bsb for the fire vulnerability, plus krile with sheepsong and Maria with her burst. That poor bastard didn't stand a chance. The osb did 97k, which I don't know if that's good compared to other osbs or what but I just wasn't expecting that high.

Ugh, that was pretty ugly.

Dollar pull: 4* trash
1st Pull: 3/11 Thyrus and 2x Tiara.
2nd Pull: 1/11 Thyrus
*Engage Dumb Mode and go off schedule*
3rd Pull: 3/11 Tin Armor, Healing Staff and Abel's Lance.

That 3rd pull saved it, even if I really would have preferred Refia's BSB (if only because I have Kain's in JP). Annoying that I had to go outside my 2 allotted pulls but I'm pretty sure I can get back on schedule by the time Minfilia 1 rolls around.

Hopefully I'll have more impressive luck on it.

I really should've stopped after the first roll.



I mean getting Refia and Kain's BSBs is nice, but everything else is a duplicate.



Maybe I could get a third Thyrus and just have two maxed out Thyruses on hand.

Also, Refia gets an MC3.

Please change my name to "The Guff Machine"
Started this game last Fri or so, got Sazh's buff SSB, Bartz' damage SSB and Vanille's heal SSB from the previous 11x pulls and picked the fire armlet as one of the keeper picks since it was suggested to me. Got Refia's BSB from this OSBfest but the problem is that I don't have any decent 5-star weapons she can use since the BSB item is an armor, should I do another 11x keeper and pick one of the 5-star throwing weapons that she can use or try to aim for something else? I've got around 100 mythril left.

On the one hand, yes, I should've called it good and saved my mithril for a different banner and not gambled away that good fortune.

On the other hand, it's all about The Game, and how you play it
