you're not wearing ice resist. you should be wearing ice resist. it really helps. don't bother with wall, USoI is def-ignore and by far the main threat. expect him to use it almost every turn once he's under 50% i found mages to be very useful on this fight, alph and papalymo carried me through the CM even though i don't have SBs for either - consider trying it with a Proof of Existence RW. hopefully you can get haste elsewhere

Evil Fluffy posted:Y'shtola's medica ns't going to cut it. Have her use wall and bring a healer BSB as the RW (such as a Y'shtola) and as long as the BSB's running and wall is up with shell/protect you shouldn't come close to dying unless Y'shtola gets locked down with people low on hp. Thanks for this. It took me a couple tries and 1 mythril continue but I got it with this strat. Native wall + RW Asylum used at the right times worked. I had to figure out the timings and practice when to maximize the utility. I also replaced Sephiroth with Gilgamesh because his BSB is better overall for that fight. I also got lucky on the mythril runback and got paralyzed less than usual. Oh and the nightmare accessory that gives major ice resistance was really nice on Serah. She was able to survive a lot of stupid poo poo and get off several Clock Masters and Esunas and Firagas. That fight was the death of fun though.

Japan's FFRK Report came out, and the next events are Mobius Collab (FF1 with Meia, the female protagonist) - FF6 (Sabin) - FF9 (Steiner and Vivi!!!) - FF13 (Jihl Nabaat), as well as 2 other collabs Global is less likely to get. Meia is gonna be a Water Summoner from some released Relic details. I'm hoping Wol gets some ability buffs too, cause Shooter 5 when the only ranged weapon he can only use Bows and no one in FF1 has Bow relics is sorta hilarious. Nabaat is an interesting choice, although XIII is running low on characters to add (I sorta assumed XIII-2's Caius would make it in before her). I'm guessing Physical Support/Darkness based on her XIII-2 appearance as a Saboteur. Characters will also be getting special Legend Materia from relics now. It seems odd to modify how people can get Legend Materia so close to releasing it (and having it tied to Gacha), but it's hard to tell how big it'll be until we see more on what characters get and how it works. Also, XIV is longest running without an event. I assumed it would be coming up soon, but now I'm curious whether they're pushing it to line up for the new expansion. For reference, between where Global and Japan are event wise, FF1 is getting the Matoya/Master Monk event and a Mobius collab, FF2 gets the Emperor, FF3 gets Cloud of Darkness and FF11 got Lion and Prishe. XIV might be the only realm without a 6* right now, even including Beyond since Lann got a crappy OSB. And these are generally thought of as the uncommon realms. Seriously, FF1 is getting two events before XIV gets another.

At the very worst, XIV will definitely get an event for Stormblood. Problem is that that's in June, but at least it has a definite 'yeah they'll get something by then' date.

Who knows, maybe we'll get NORA in before Kiros, Ward, and Umaro. Also, Meia's ability set: Black Magic 5, Summoning 5, Witch 4 Equipment set: Dagger, Rod, Staff Hat, Robe, Bracelet Wol has Monk 4 now.

The Lion/Prishe event was another Grandmasters collab, so don't expect to get that anytime soon if we still haven't gotten Ayame/Curilla. In terms of upcoming characters not tied to a collab, we've got Fujin/Raijin, Seymour, Master/Matoya, Rufus, Vayne, Orlandu/Gafarion, Rafa/Malak, Cid Pollendina, Emperor, Cloud of Darkness, Ceodore, Gogo, Meia and Jihl Nabaat coming down the pipe. Ayame, Curilla, Lion, Prishe, Reynn and Lann are still huge question marks. Varance fucked around with this message at 07:55 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Beasteh posted:17th for Dungeon Update (25 mythril one time lucky draw) and 23rd for the Summon Nightmare (full price unlimited draws) IIRC. The Tactics event is the last one we have a confirmed date for from the last update and it opens on the 26th, which means that the XII event should be the last event in February unless they monkey with the schedule for no obvious reason.

It'd be kind of awkward to skip that given new characters beyond that XI event have Witch. Meanwhile Meia's got Mobius Final Fantasy emblazoned upon it. Which, to be fair, we already have Wol and Echo in that case, but it doesn't seem like they ignore mentioning their tie-ins when relevant.

Honestly, the only difference between Grandmasters and vanilla FF11 is that Grandmasters is single player and also never seeing the light of day in America, ever. They even got rid of the Grandmasters-themed Triple Triad cards in the portal app. I hope we at least get the characters and skill from that event. Samurais are gonna suck without their ATK/RES bargain.

What're the elements we've seen so far for FF14? Fire, Holy, Wind, anything else? They'll give it to the oldest character released or the most popular. Thancred probably, or YoshiCola.

So I woke up this morning to this: That's pretty good, right? My RW is currently a level 99 Y'shtola with SS2, max MND gear, and almost completely moted out. She has 440 MND without synergy  I guess clearing out all those dumpy followers a couple weeks ago was worth it. Elephant Ambush fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Semi related, but sometimes people refer to Mage Meta as Mega Meat or something similar. I'm not sure why I find that so entertaining, but it makes me giggle anyway.

I beat it with a pretty janky team relying on Terra OSB, Minifilia's Last Stand, and Y'shtola's BSB. I think any decent ranged Fire BSB could substitute for Terra. I had 0 paralysis relics. Perhaps consider bringing a souped up Terra OSB RW (check a friend code database) and saving up two blasts of it for after you get it down to roughly 150k hp. That should take it down within 2 turns. Personally, I brought Terra, Locke (with BSB), Ramza (Shout), Ysh (BSB and Wall), and Minifilia (BSB and Last stand). Locke died about half way through before I was able to get off a second BSB for him. I basically focused on repeatedly charging up my OSB and hitting it for a pitiful 30k per hit because my Terra's pretty weak and I have like no mage buffs. edit: maybe that just shows the power of Y'sh's BSB and Last Stand. I'm assuming I didn't get paralyzed because either HP bubbles or straight up dying (but surviving on guts) mitigates that. iamsosmrt fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Probably Thancred or Papalymo, though Yda might have enough popularity to push her for it. If it's a Stormblood based event she'd be the most likely to get it given her actual identity and that she'll probably be more important to that storyline than any Scion was to Heavensward. She'll also get Dancer 4 or 5 if that ends up being the 2nd job they reveal. ParliamentOfDogs posted:Yeah but when you hear Final Fantasy and Gogo you think FF6. Greg should be in the game is all I am saying. This is only because FF5 never came out on the SNES here. If it had then he'd be associated with 5 and the theories like "Gogo is actually Darryl" wouldn't have been as common.

What all do I need to watch out for in the torment dungeon? I plan on going full mage. Two instacast curaga medica white mages, tyro with sg and dances, rinoa to summon alphenaud's bsb with tiamat and edea for her hastega/faithga. Then i'll put an extra couple elemental spells on edea for mastery and call it a day. But knowing this game, it won't be that easy.

I was just trying to say that Gilgamesh's quest line in ff14 was so good and charming that I would be okay if they added an FF14 Gilgamesh just like I would be okay with them adding two Gogos if they ever add the one from 6. Mostly jokingly because I just played through it so it is fresh on my mind whenever ff14 comes up. Besides, Tyro is Gogo anyway. Healing the paintings will destroy his mind and fling him into the multidimensional void.

There won't be a ff14 Gilgamesh released because it is entirely the same person. Like, there is nothing specifically saying that ffvi's gogo is the same as ffv's gogo. So technically they could just up and add another gogo to the game. I think.

gently caress, the torment dungeon is ffv synergy only. I only have good melee synergy for ffv. My mage gear is one healer staff and that's it. The best I can do with that is only about 840ish mag, not enough for taimat sadly. Well, I guess I'll just hope that I can manage to melee them all down one at a time at about the same rate.

Two white mages and tyro dancing just feels like overkill turtling; the torment is tough, but Wall/Shellga and dances with one full time healer probably has to be enough unless you're bringing an AE source BSB of your own to sustain the length of fight you're setting up.
