I don't get the point of requiring all the different mats/items. I can't see how doing it this way makes them any more money than if it was just straight currency, and it just causes you to grind an even less fun part of the game than the grinding part that's actually supposed to be fun.

I did finally get the 500 lapis for legendary thief at least.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
What's the generally accepted priority for leveling limit bursts? I just got Cecil to 25% and now I'm actually getting a decent number of 3k burst pots from eggs. I've got Exdeath and Elza at around level 3 right now, so I was figuring it should be either of them unless there's someone else I'm missing.

So what's the consensus on these units? Olive tier? Or better/worse?

What I've gleaned

Fryevia is a hybrid, has some decent skills and the ice version of divine ruination. She's held back by a lackluster weapon selection and a crappy element, and to get the most out of her you need her TMR and a duplicate.

Xon is potentially broken with Twist of Fate to steal broken boss buffs. Otherwise he is better Locke.

Aiden is the Bedile of healers.

I'd put some work in to Y'shtola because her LB is a damage reduction effect, but I'm planning to focus all my LB pots in to Olive instead for more damage. Cecil's LB is a decent choice too for bigger buff numbers I guess.

Bedile could only dream of his TMR being as useful as Aiden's auto-refresh vest.

Xon basically takes care of ever needing to steal anything ever again with Waylay, plus he can nick buffs from bosses which is pretty cool.

Yea the steal all command alone makes him worth it.

I went ahead and tried a pull 11 and ended up getting 2 of him, nothing else though. But I wanted a Xon, so perfectly happy with that. Wish I could give the 2nd one away to someone else though.

reminder that i played from soft launch through march 2nd with only a single rainbow during that span, which was Rakshasha, and since march 2nd ive pulled Ramza, Luneth, Gilgamesh, and Olive. i used probably 60 tickets during that time and everything else was daily half price. just keep at it guys, and also i understand if anyone in my previous position hates me now, especially since my first thought when i saw Olive was "oh man, i was sorta hoping it was TG Cid"

So, I'm using this event to cruise through the story since I was only up to Olderion and most of the recent events have been pretty energy demanding. There's definitely a correlation between enemy level and eggs, but it also seems to count bosses extra- those four battle stages ending in a generic boss tend to give about half again as many eggs.

I wish I had tickets/lapis for a few extra pulls, I really want a Xon for future-proofing. (I'm pretty sure Dark Ifrt/Siren have giant buffs if you piss them off, which would be good to steal)

The reason for that giveaway wasn't because of prices, it was because there was a glitch that made you not get those recipes even though you opened the chests.

Hell yeah welcome to the KABOOM MOTHERFUCKERS club. Her TM has just now become your number one priority. Feed all moogles into it and I strongly would consider Lapis refresh grinding to max it. Doublehand is next but a lower priority as Sparky has a much greater +ATK boost.

It looks like Xon/Freyvia/Aiden aren't timed exclusives? Thought they were at first.

Additioally, new players should consider stockpiling extra magic/radiant eggs since they're 10% atk/def or mag/spr so they're basically the same as hero rings when used on non-hybrids.

To give an example on this: my Olive only has Sparky for her TM right now and she has over 800ATK. Meanwhile my Orlandu won't be over 800atk until the black hood, blade mastery, and maybe power of creation are finished. Though one's a chainer and the other is a finisher so it's not a good direct comparison because Trueshot landing in the middle of a DR chain is wonderful for making bosses disappear (then again, so is the DR chain itself).

Whaled and spent all my tickets and most of my lapis chasing Noct and Greg, got Marie.
Spent every King Mog ticket and all dailies on FFT banner, got no banner units.
Got Fran and Elle and some other junk on this banner so far.

My second 5* base isn't the absolute worst pull, but all the trash on FFT was pretty disheartening.

hell yeah!! :hfive:

yeah i am like 5%~ from finishing Bracer, then my Power of Creation is only at 46% and nothing else is appreciably high. i think Ramza is only at 3% as i havent had the chance to macro much since i got him. i am thinking Sparky/Doublehand/Brave Suit/Celestial Glove, then I am not sure what to be doing with that last slot. Power of creation would be 30% attack and could go with my other 30% attack, which would mean she could still use another TM. Black Cowl is still best in slot for head I assume and bracer/celestial for the accessories. so it'll take a bit but i can do a pretty reasonable facsimile of a whale unit now :c00l:

My luck has improved since but it took from the Chizuru Kefka Golbez banner in July to the FF3 banner to pull my first 4* base character (and it was Rosa)

My luck still isn't great but I have a Noctis and three Zidanes so I can't say mine is the worst.

I'm beginning to get all :tinfoil: about the trust moogle rates from the event banner - they seem to be inverse to the rate of getting the character they're for. I've gotten 2 for Aiden, 5 for Xon, and 11 for Freyvia. Come on moogles, I just want one copy of that auto-refresh robe for Refia

edit for positivity: gently caress YEAH BURST POTS! Olive's gotten 3 limit burst levels so far from the event.
