I can't believe they made banner 4 specifically for me. Hamelin and Saintly Excalibur in one package? Please and thank you.

i'm annoyed because i'd like the hamelin but i already have tg cid's osb, agrias' bsb, and both alphinaud's bsb and ssb

i might throw a pull at it anyway because i have the mythril

edit: i'm also disappointed not one celes runic style soul break is on the list, that's one mechanic i have yet to have in my repertoire

I will get OK, Ashe, Kain, and Luneth. I will complain about going 4/11 all dupes. Somebody somewhere will read that and cry. My day will be complete and I will sleep.

I'm still super pissed about that. Look, at least you can combine combat stat sticks to get a boost. Hell I'd love to get a second kain and luneth bsb, boosted +element spears would be great!

As for the festival banners, 2 and 4 is are only ones that're really worth it for me. Everything else has too many scattered dupes or stuff I don't want. Sadly banner 1 has the two bsb's I want the most, vaan and maria. I might still just pull on ffvi banner 1 again instead of these. I dunno, I'll bitch about it in the thread until I do something.

Now to pull on this lucky banner and get lightning's field corps uniform.

So I need a heal BSB... should I go for banner 4 or 5? I don't have any dupes except for the Chaos Rod on 4, so it's pretty wide open. I figure I might as well just dive into the better banner overall, since both Eiko & Vanille's heal BSB seem good to me.

Well, I was gonna be a little annoyed at getting 3/11 (Gabranth Hauberk, Basch BSB and a dupe Lightbringer VI) but then they dump a banner almost tailor-made for me.

Also amused I was right about them putting Bartzpocalype on the banners since they knocked it off the Ultros.

I'm actually wondering if Banner 2 isn't the best banner for me to go after. I could really use a good Support Break, and Faris USB seems good. I also like FFX, and wouldn't mind Tidus OSB or Yuna BSB2. I wouldn't say no to a Shantotto or Quistis BSB either. Banner 4 looks amazing though, and Hamelin is the only dupe on that one. Ugh, 2 dupes, I forgot I had Agrias BSB. That I'm running in my physical holy team right now. Somehow.

Banner 1 I've got a couple dupes on, and while I was really hoping for a Sephiroth OSB, I'm also not so sure how much it'd really add. It might let me run a physical dark team instead of my dark mage team, but ehhhh? A good support break might do a lot more for me overall. Onion Knight I don't really care about, although Tyro is good. I'd like the Edge relic on Banner 1, but I was planning on pulling for Edge's SSB and BSB in the next IV event anyway.

Kinda leaning towards two pulls on Banner 2, and maybe 1 on Banner 4?

Huh! I got cloud's climhazzard unique and freya's six dragons ssb. I honed sky high to r2 as soon as I got luneth's bsb, but I think it'll be better in freya honestly. Too bad I have absolutely nothing worthwhile for cloud to chain his en-wind into, but there's always the hope of a future pull I guess.

Faris with imperil wind and wind bite, freya with en-wind and sky high, luneth with en-wind and his bsb, sazh with his bsb atk/mag buff and either tyro or a medica dude for support. My physical team is now complete! Wind meta, oh yeah. Or hell, switch out faris for kain with his bsb and sazh for fang and her reverse wall, and I have team super dragoons.

poo poo pull for the second day in a row:

At least it only took one orbfest stage to master. 2/22 with a dupe and unique being the pulls is not what I was hoping for on these banners. Better luck tomorrow...

Also lol of course they put Raines BSB with Bartz+Gilgamesh OSBs. I still might throw a pull at banner 3 because Golbez, Refia, and Relm BSBs are all pretty cool

Banner 2 - tidus osb, Yuna bsb2

Banner 3 - Raines bsb and sheepsong

Banner 4 - Cid osb, agrias bsb, ramza and onion ssb

Banner 5 - luneth bsb and yshtola ssb

Well, I have to figure out what I want to do here I guess. Will have close to 350 mythril by the time everything gets given out.

Healer Lucky - 4/11:
Vanille BSB
Dupe Dreamstage
Larsa SSB (Pretty odd character buildout)
Ovelia's Magic Blink
I really wanted a second BSB on top of Aerith's, super happy with this.

EnElement - 2/11
Third Party Dress for Rinoa
Maria's BSB
I already have Alph's and Raines BSBs so my hope was for a physical burst but getting Maria's is pretty awesome. A third Party Dress isn't too disappointing either since my VIII armor synergy is pretty dire.

2/11, Rinoa's Party Dress and Edea's BSB. I don't get the sense I did very well here. Maybe the BSB will be good for Mote Ifrit when I get around to that?

The BSB is great, and the party dress isn't as bad as it was when it first came out. When it first came out there was only really quake as an earth element skill. Chain Stonega is a reasonable source of damage. I mean you still run into the problem where very few enemies are stone-weak, but it's at least not the stupidest thing ever anymore.

Quick question, but how does Zell's BSB compare to Refia's BSB? Party wide crit bonus with instant cast commands vs self crit bonus, extra crit damage and fire element. Is Refia's better assuming +fire equips and/or fire weakness?

Refia's is better single-person DPS - its CMD 2 is another stackable buff - but Zell's BSB helps bring up the entire party's DPS. They're both top-tier monk BSBs.

Cool, that makes me feel better, anyway. :)

I think I had Edea in my mage team a while back when I pulled Sorceress Crown, but the BSB will take precedence over that, I'm sure. Still need a good Faithga relic, I think, to really make a mage team go, though.

Looks like I'm gonna have enough for 3 pulls, not really sure what to do:
Banner 1 (4): Kain BSB, Vaan BSB, Maria BSB, Seph SSB. And while not a dupe, I have mage boosts from Serah, Krile and Papa so I'm not desperate for Braska's.
Banner 2 (1): Dreamstage.
Banner 3 (3): Raines BSB, Noel's SSB, Sheepsong
Banner 4 (3): Ramza's SSB, Alph's BSB and SSB
Banner 5 (4): Dagger BSB, Vanille BSB, Y'sh SSB, Ley Lines

I have All the mage relics so I'm really looking for physical/de-buff stuff, which I think justifies a pull on 2 and 4. Chase 2 for the USB/OSB (have Tidus' BSB); consolation prizes are mostly mage stuff but at least not dupes. Banner 4 has a decent amount of physical stuff I'm interested in but the dupe risk is pretty high. Refia's gloves would be awesome but I'm not super keen on the OSBs in banner 3, too many dupes elsewhere.

That'd leave a fest pull on the table, which feels kinda weird; are there any banners coming up with great physical/debuff relics to justify not pulling?

Yeah, but Zell CMD 1 and Refia CMD 2 have the same buff. So I'm curious if the party wide boost + instant cast entry + Powerchain CMD 2 is better compared to the fire element (+gear, enemy weakness) + 2x crit damage CMD 1.

I 1/11'd the Enspell banner but it was Cloud Cycle so I'm loving stoked.

I went 5/11 on the Medica banner, a dupe Mistilteinn, Arc's instant pblink curaga, Vanille's ability refresh Curaga, Relm's high regen curaga, and Rosa's BSB, which rules because you can Wrath chain it. 5 is also a new record for most 5* relics I've ever gotten on one pull.

Banner 4: Excalibur T, Chaos Rod (which is already ++ so I'll be really bummed if I pull one)
Banner 5: Gungnir III, Mistilteinn, The Blitz, Omnirod, Wizard's Gloves

So yeah, definitely skipping phase 5. Will probably do at least one pull on everything else, we'll see. Really wish they had put a better OSB than Greg's on banner 3, if that and the Noel SSB were gone that would be as good as banner 4 imo.

Well up to two dark boosting armors now but I don't feel like Seymour is worth leveling just to test how close I can fly to the sun without a Memento Mori multiplier.

Maria is a neat option though especially since Ysh/Vanille are half a mage team already. I've only managed to get her to 4 hits on her command with a faithga but she isn't 99 and wasn't using my best equipment, 5 hits should be easy.
