Just noticed this re: the upcoming Lucky Drawquote:The Relics included are for FF V, FF VIII, FF XIV, or FF Tactics Ultra, Overstrike, Burst, or Super Soul Breaks released before 5:00 PM 5/9 PST (1:00 AM 5/10 UTC). That means nothing from the most recent FFT/FF8/etc. events, yeah? Thats kind of disappointing but expected, I suppose.

I wonder if someone mistyped the month or something because usually its set to the day of release of the banner, and the Global team is known for random minor fuckups like this Either way I really need the V/VIII synergy so disappointment inbound

A good medica is the only real necessity for the CMs. If you have one you can RW a good DPS burst. If you don't have one you need to RW one and have native BSBs or hastega.

Hm, whether or not the latest stuff is in the pull is probably going to be a determining factor to me since I'm trying to save up for several of the fest banners. Hopefully by the time it drops theres some clarification.

It would be doable if they'd allow status icons on a 720p screen instead of letterboxing the screen. But then iphones would have issues

ETB posted:It'll be very clear once the relic list is viewed. I'm pulling either way; some V and Tactics synergy would be really appreciated (especially one of the V buffing relics), and I'd like even some of the older VIII bursts like Quistis and Edea's. Hoping to avoid the XIV pile though unless it's Papalymo BSB, since I'm already loaded with healer BSBs and don't even really need Y'shtola's outside of CMs. But I can see people who pulled heavily for Tactics/XIV in the past to be leery of this one; V in particular has a kinda crappy pool. Man, the FFI U++ Cid's Mission is going to be terrible isn't it? I have one piece of synergy gear.

I'm naturally pulling on the DU Lucky but my fear is getting flooded with more Tictacs relics when the next 3 DUs after all have it in the pool too.

Who's a good replacement for tyro that has drawable relics right now? I don't have any relics for tyro and I'm not particularly interested in using him anyway, but his versatility seems unmatched right now.

g0lbez posted:Yeah I left out a lot of pertinent info asking for advice my bad. Here's my main group (I'm still too new to have resources to level up anyone else) Honestly, your last slot is pretty interchangable, and Rydia is too - mixed teams are certainly possible, but they're harder to pull off in later game than full-physical or full-magic due to the number of buffs you want going. At this point, you're looking for effects on SBs more than skill versatility - anyone who gets a party-wide haste on their SBs will be a shoe-in if you get it, and some secondary stat debuffs would be nice. g0lbez posted:What is extreme fest? I can't find any info on it anywhere Every three months or so we get a festival with a bunch of limited time, relic-stacked banners. Usually has the best of the best, and various other mini-events (like an orb-grinding stage, usually) alongside it. Next one should be hitting near the end of June.

The next festival that happens every three months. Typically has a new banner every couple of days with a combination of good new relics and a "best of" collection to fill out other slots. Even the consolation prizes tend to be good. This usually is accompanied by an orb fest and some other fun stuff. Oh, and if it follows Japan's setup, there should also be three themed lucky draws (half price draws, one for Curaga-level medicas, one for Imperils, and one for BSB's).

Doesn't ramza have some sort of haste SB? I should pull for that shouldn't I? But also extreme fest is apparently super amazing and I should probably hoard some mythril for it.

Ramza's Shout was top king for a real long time and is still highly rated now. Hastega + 50% ATK is really good.

What is the deal with Tactics showing up on so many lucky banners, anyway? My last two lucky pulls (not counting this current wave of nightmare ones) have been good, but they were also 100% Tactics relics and I really, really do not need any more. I have like twice as many relics for it as any other realm even though I've never specifically pulled on a Tactics banner, and there's honestly not even anything else that I want from it.

Tactics didn't have it's own realm of dungeons until recently and with other games running dry on content to stall around with Tactics has plenty to do. It's kind of silly that the result is we get 4 DUs in a row with Tactics showing up but alas.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:What is the deal with Tactics showing up on so many lucky banners, anyway? Tactics is just a relatively new realm, so it has a lot of backlog in Realm Dungeons to add while every other realm is at or approaching final dungeons. If it wasn't for the Lucky Draws, it makes perfect sense Tactics to keep showing up. We are getting into Crisis Core, X-2 and XIII-2 dungeons in Japan though.

The flipside is that I/II/VI is pretty much almost completely squeezed dry at this point. You might be able to argue the Soul of Rebirth dungeons for II and maybe some Crisis Core/DoC stuff for VII, but otherwise there's not much room for them to add future DU stuff.

g0lbez posted:Does shout stack with history's truth at all? It does. The basic rule of thumb to know about buffs and debuffs is to look at the stats they affect. Shout buffs only ATK while History's Truth buffs ATK/MAG/DEF, so since they buff different unique combinations of stats they'll stack. Conversely, Shout and Lenna's Flames of War (30% ATK) would overwrite each other.

Your ATK will be horrendously high yes. Worth noting is there are a handful of exceptions to the buff stacking rule. Rikku's Hyper Null-All is an ATK/RES buff that is randomly coded as separate buffs unlike everything else and so will not stack with Shout or RES buffs and stuff. There's also a couple of things like Lulu's Focus (MAG/RES) which are completely unique buff IDs and thus will even stack with other MAG/RES buffs. The general rule of thumb works for most cases though and if you ever aren't sure one of us hyper nerds in the thread will know.

Well they've done events for IV: The After Years, Crisis Core, X-2, and XIII-2 so they could theoretically start doing realm dungeons for those games. There's also Tactics Advance they could dip into. They also still haven't added XV content either outside of events.
