Beasteh posted:Anyone pulling on Ceodore 1? We are so close to Cloud Keeper, goons Ceodore 1 is a good banner and I would pull on it if I needed IV synergy still. Unfortunately, pulling Kain BSB and Golbez BSB in the last festival means I have very little reason when I'm just barely hitting 50 mythril.

I'm planning to pull on it since I'm starved for IV synergy but my pull lifestyle consists of just spamming mythril as I get it rather than doing actual 50 pulls. With the event mythril I'll get to do a triple pull.

I know that the next festival is coming up in June-ish, but do we have an approximate date? I have 200 mythril currently, and I intend to pull on the FFVIII banner next week because one of the Selphie relics on Banner 1 would make my best healer even better, and I'm trying to determine if I have enough room to also pull on IV tomorrow and still have time to build up a decent stock for the festival.

Uncle Ulty posted:I know that the next festival is coming up in June-ish, but do we have an approximate date? There's a festival every 3 months (March, June, September, December) which usually starts somewhere between the 23rd and 25th of the month. There's also one additional mini-festival which is usually in October around the end of the month (Japan's Golden Week festival, which is at the end of April/beginning of May for them, but we get festivals 6 months after Japan does). Sometimes the mini-festival and its preceding normal festival swap places (that'll be the case this year; the "festival" at the end of September for us will be kinda meh, but the one at the end of October will be the Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary festival).

I'm not. I have the extreme fest banner to pull on. I have 140 mythril atm and I'm saving up every penny for: Banner 1, 2, 5. Maybe banner 3. Less so banner 4. If each of them are 50 mythril pulls, I'll only have enough for 1 pull on each of the ones I totally want, but not enough on the ones I sort of want. Doubtful I'll get an additional 110 mythril by june to get to 250 mythril saved up for one pull on each. (and frankly I want Noctis' OSB, even though I hear it sucks.)

Nihilarian posted:I mean, as ridiculous as Cloud's USB is, it really shines when used as an RW, right? It's only truly useful native when combined with his BSB2, which you can get off the same banner but is not guaranteed. You could also make up for it by RWing other BSBs for him to use but that doesn't put you up much. The primary place having the kit native is awesome for is Magicite Dungeons because you can't RW it in so the only way to bring it is native, and being able to pour out damage with it makes hitting those low-time clears much easier. But yeah, general use is fairly marginal. I'm mostly throwing 100 myth at the banner because I also want Zack's Chain and some of the other stuff on it.

I'm not planning on pulling for Cloud, but obviously Extreme fest is coming up soon, and the 1st VIII banner is really good with Squall BSB2, Irvine BSB, Selphie USB, and some pretty good SSBs on the banner too. I have poo poo IV synergy outside mage relics though, so banner 1 is actually pretty tempting for me. I'm leaning towards waiting for the Edge/Rubicante banner that includes Cecil's new BSB2 thats coming in the next IV event.

I championed the A+ fight without any X synergy weapons and only a single X synergy piece of armor (the red armlet from the Keeper's Choice 2). I guess I'll continue to not pull on X banners (and hope for X gear on the lucky draws). I have 3 pieces of IV gear (mage rod, healer staff, lovely gloves), so hopefully the upcoming A+ will go slightly better.

Well, those announcements today are something  They're bringing back the Family Secrets event, and I missed a good chunk of it while I had my account link issue. I say that bringing back the events and the mythril we're getting more than makes up for what happened.

iamsosmrt posted:Is Selphie's upcoming BSB the only healer Burst in VIII? Correct. Which is a bit unfortunate since it's a bit lackluster in terms of actually healing, but her SSB and USB are both solid. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a new BSB in the VIII event coming soon in JP to make up for her first one being so blah.

Yeah I'm seeing the lucky draw now and it's grayed out unfortunately. Oh well! +75 free mythril over 3? Weeks is nice too. Plus the chance for the higher level ones I didn't get the chance for. Probably too much to ask for the 140s from those to have MC3s though...
