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.

I wish we had gotten the elemental draws like JP did instead of getting the DU-based draws. Nobody draws for story dungeons! You can beat those without any synergy. On the other hand I could really use some ice poo poo, or more imperils in general.

There WAS a Secret of Mana event. In the Japanese version. Got skipped in Global.

Two Secret of Mana events. I expect a third in about 3 months.

YoshiOfYellow posted:

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.

There are dungeon realms for Crisis Core, X-2, and (as of tomorrow), XIII-2 in Japan. The first Tactics Advance event is coming soon as well.

Dungeon Update Draw is up.

2/11 - Rinoa OSB and Selphie USB :toot:

Didn't fix my V or XIV synergy, but Selphie's USB is nice. Having a rod for other FF8 events will be nice too whenever my healer isn't using it.

edit: Also, Lenna's Dress is in the relics list, so don't worry about the weird note about the date relics are avaliable from - every released item from V, VIII, XIV and Tactics should be on there.

3/11

Rinoa OSB
Gaffgarion BSB (dupe)
Laguna SSB (ice imperil? nice!)

My first Rinoa relic and only earth damage relic I think I have outside of like Ingus SSB. Not sure how like it'll make her a team member outside of weak vs earth bosses (chain stonega + OSB seems like a good DPS way to go)

I'll combine the gaffgarion swords. I'm swimming in FFT swords.

Second Laguna SB (have his interrupting missile strike one, which kinda sucks). Not sure if it'd even be worth trying to incorporate this into a ice team given Laguna's lackluster skillset.

Alphinaud SSB is really good though. Radiant Shield can end up contributing a ton of damage and ATK/MAG boosts are never a bad thing.

As for my own DU Lucky...



Gaffgarion BSB is pretty solid for a dark BSB, comes with ST damage plus an ether on CMD1 and a % Heal on CMD2 so what it lacks in raw damage from other BSBs it makes up for in utility.

Bartz BSB2 literally just came out. It's not terribly extravagant, EnWater on entry with a 50% Mug Power on CMD1 and 4x Water Spellblade CMD2. It's still cool to have something current for Bartz though. :toot:

Zell SSB is outdated and a dud. It's just ST damage with a weak (25%) crit fix. Boo.

The real surprise is skipping over FF6 and 9.

Awakening Cloud was very likely to be tied to Fest Events (particularily Zenith of Crisis, where you faced a countdown of bosses each day that ends with Sephiroth).

FF1/Mobius is both a collab, and the main character of the event, Meia, isn't actually playable yet in Mobius Global.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."


Not a terribly exciting pull, the rod is a dupe but Papalymo appreciates the extra oomph in XIV dungeons.

I'm still starved for something for Quistis besides her Mighty Guard whip, though!

You use it with his OSB, because Thunder God mode makes his usually way too slow BSB much faster and therefore better.

2/11, dupe Romadan Pistol (Tactics :argh:) and Thancred's BSB, which seems a little clunky, but I don't have a ton of fire options so I'll take it. Was really hoping for some V stuff but eh.

Thankee kindly.
1/11, Papalymo BSB.

A really good BSB, but I was still a little annoyed since I was already loaded with good XIV synergy. At least my Fire team is now super stacked (Thancred/Steiner for Imperils, Yda for a Breakdown, Vivi/Papalymo for damage).

Decided to go ahead and do the Black Lucky in hopes of Sheepsong/Ley Lines or Vivi OSB.

2/11, Serah and Vivi BSB. Both dupes.

Urgh, I'm mad. I do have a 6* +Fire staff now, but that was 25 Mythril that should have been saved.

Guess they're throwing more mythril drains at us before fest, what with Lightning's USB.

I doubt the Meia stuff matters cause the last Mobius event had spoilers for stuff that hadn't even happened yet in its own game and they didn't care. IIRC the last one came a little later than its JP one did also.

3/11 Ramza USB(!!) Mustadio BSB and Laguna BSB. Great pull though it does Jack poo poo for my lack of V and X relics. My USB streak continues though. Up to 6 now. I'm looking at you, Cloud.

Twin Lance is a dupe, everything else is new. It's a shame Krile doesn't have wrath to make it easier to cycle Sheepsong and Unspoken Bond, but I have Sheepsong alternatives so I can probably make it work. Magic Blink is Magic Blink, stackable Breakdown is stackable Breakdown. It's a shame I didn't get any new bursts but not bad regardless.

Pulled on the white LD after my meh pull here because I have no self-control.

4/11, Yuna's BSB, Lenna's SSB, Ovelia's SSB, and Eiko's SSB (dupe).

Not a bad pull, I think. I guess Yuna is now an option for my mage team - I've got Yshtola and Vanille's BSBs, so I'm not sure she's going to be dethroning them as a healer any time soon, but having a pinch-healing option that also deals decent damage isn't bad, and I already have a bunch of her other relics.

Needed a medica in V and Tactics (somehow), so that was definitely worth 25 mythril. Down to 60 mythril left and no dungeons to farm, I am so hosed for this Extreme Fest lol. I'll be curious to see what changes they make to the lineup, looking at the JP version, none of them really jumped out at me as must-pulls.

Y'shtola BSB is a dupe and the SSBs probably won't see much use (I already have Orlandeau's OSB and BSB, though another +10 ATK is nice), but I'll definitely take Ramza's USB! Also, I look forward to my Tactics synergy getting more and more ridiculous as these DU Lucky Draws keep going.

That's so weird that they're throwing the FF13 event with Nabaat at us so soon. That'll really mess up my logs that I've been doing. What about Noctis and the rest? I can't wait for maintenance so all this gets cleared up.

Also, my Lucky Draw netted me Squall's BSB. Which is... very good?? I literally couldn't have asked for a better result? Welp! (There was also a dupe Saintly Excalibur and an old Gilga Genji Blade that I don't care about.)

Irvine's BSB has ATK/RES and MAG/DEF -20% commands so it's actually more valuable than those other BSBs since they are debuffs that can stack on top of other poo poo. Irvine BSB is real good.
