Charles Bukowski posted:The only bursts I have for FF8 are for Edea and Fujin. Granted they are amazing mage bursts, but I got nothing for phys dudes. Future japan players, did the phys bsb/usbs for ff8 come back during the next fest? Squall USB + BSB2 was on a 30th anniversary fest banner.The banner themes were console generations, so that banner also had Rinoa ice CSB, Cloud USB + BSB2, Zidane BSB2, etc. It was a pretty gross banner. 30th anniversary should be our next fest coming up in September-ish.

I ended up splurging on an 11x pull because it's my birthday and why the gently caress not. Ended up getting Seifer's USB, Laguna's Ice Imperil, Mighty Guard and a dupe Crescent Wish. I'm OK with this. Now I have a native hastega and another crescent wish to give to a caster.

They didn't account for scrolling when they check the screen coordinates of the button you press, so if your phone's resolution is low enough that button 4 is off the screen you literally cannot access day 4.

I feel like the jump in banner quality has gotten so dramatic in recent Japanese banners that it's definitely going to affect some of my upcoming planned pulls. Had been planning on about 4 total to be divided amongst the coming IV, V and VI banners, but sheesh, that FFTA banner and this III banner are arguably better than any Fest banners, including the 30th fest. I'll still make some pulls, but I would encourage people to NOT WHALE on any banner between now and then unless you have some personal attachment to any one character.

iPodschun posted:It takes 5 class motes to get a character to 6* and 10 motes to make the 6* skill. You can get two characters to 6* + make two of the skill with the intent to shatter one for Crystals, or get four characters to 6* + make one of the skill. Thank you, this is pretty much exactly what I needed! I'm just kind of breaking into the hard stuff and there's a lot to remember.

I started playing when the recent 1/2 stamina realm thing rolled out, and this is the first time I actually started saving mythril. Attempted to do Wave of Fangs D140 in the Type-0 event because I wanted to try and get my first MC3 lode, and got killed in the 2nd round of Coeurls. Anyone have tips on how I can optimize my team to have a better chance, or is it a bit out of my range still? https://www.ffrkcentral.com/profile/5tZu I also did the 100 gem pull for FF8 and got Mighty Guard, would that help at all? Anything worth getting in the current banners for me? Any tips in general on what direction I should be going would be appreciated.

jebeebus posted:I started playing when the recent 1/2 stamina realm thing rolled out, and this is the first time I actually started saving mythril. Your hones are super low. You may be better off with lower * abilities that you have more hones for. It looks like you'll run out of gas before you can use any of your soul breaks. You've also got Ramza, Fran, and Tyro who are all more or less support type heroes with only Jecht bringing damage. You should try using Yda's burst, as it will be a lot more useful than Fran who only has 2 hones each of the fire sharpshooter skills. Otherwise, you are still waiting for Tyro's RM to drop. In the meantime, you should work on getting Cloud to 65 and getting Mako Might RM. Those will drastically increase your ability to tackle difficult content. Banner 1 of the FF8 event is good for physical heroes. You have Shout, which means it'll be immediately useful for you. Seifer and Squall are very good characters. Banner 2 is more mage oriented. You don't have a lot, so it would give you something for bosses who need to be fought with magic. On the other hand, it won't be as immediately useful. But Fujin, Rinoa, and Edea are all excellent.

I did this with some of the 6* abilities and I really wish I hadn't. Now I have a few characters who could really use, say, Snowspell Strike, but I crafted two instead and got a few extra crystals. I guess more of these class notes are coming in future Torment dungeons eventually, but crystals pop up in almost every event. Not a ton, but they're there.

Now I have a few characters who could really use, say, Snowspell Strike, but I crafted two instead and got a few extra crystals. On the other hand, Snowspell, Mug Bloodlust, and Sky High are really the only Mote 6* abilities worth paying much attention to. Maybe Lifebane, since it's basically a slightly different Omega Drive with a more limited userbase. Stitch in Time will become better later and is good if you have Fujin relics, but for now it's basically a wasted slot on any other character than can use it. Demonsblood is only nice if enemies respect aggro (they usually don't, so it becomes "Flashing Blade but harder to hone"), and Aegis Strike uses the crappy Armor Strike damage formula so it's only really good if you need physical Holy AoE and don't have, say, almost any knight-based burst. Penalty Strike is just out and out trash. Allegro Con Moto will be okay when we get it, but that's likely not happening until the FF4 torment, when they're literally forced to give us Bard Motes since there's no reason they can say "Global and Japan are two different games, please understand". They've tried changing around quest rewards before and almost universally hosed it up every single time. (See also: Wakka MC1) KataraniSword fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Jul 29, 2017 |

I'm just now able to start breaking into 5* abilities. The consensus I'm seeing online seems to be "go with whatever skill the most people can use," which makes sense, but I don't want to buy a bad skill just because of my current situation. I've decided that a 5* Combat skill is probably the best bet, since Combat is so ubiquitous, and I'm not sure to go for Barrage or Full Charge. Is the wait worth the big damage? I've also learned that Meteor is a pretty key skill as well. Thoughts? jebeebus posted:
Even after the help this thread has given me and the additional days to build up some specific counters to the event, I'm still unable to do it. I have another go in about ten minutes and I've decided that with basically perfect play I can do it. It's stressful to not have an AoE team. e: holy poo poo JUST beat it with one dead and four at 1/4 health. Jesus.

Get Full Break to r2 first thing. I've never used meteor and usually run with a mage team. AFAIK it isn't good, so I'm not sure where you are getting your advice.

Barrage and meteor are junk. Full Charge is good combo'd with chaincharge but really you should be trying to get Full Break to R2 as KPC_Mammon said. Who are in your A team party? We can find some better uses for your orbs.

I was literally googling "best 5 star abilities" and getting Gamefaqs links so not sure if that's credible or what  After Full Break R2, what are good options? A-team is currently Reks, Ramza, Fran, [Flex], [Healer], where flex is: Vayne, Auron, Gilgamesh (potentially Basch), and my healers are Penelo and Larsa. Working on a Mage DPS team of Terra/Vivi/Marach. ceaselessfuture fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Jul 29, 2017 |

Things like Full Charge, Chain- spells, sharpshooter 5* stuff, spellblade 5* stuff, ect can all be good. It mostly ends up depending on what you can either support or need to fill gaps in your setups to cover elemental weaknesses and such.

However I also crafted and honed it in 2015, which is probably when those gamefags posts are dated. It was and still is a luxury. At this point with the amount of MAG recent relics give a Ruinga should do plenty of AoE Magic damage for you.

Oh yeah, might as well make a post about this since it made me quite happy: decided to go after the Terra banner in JP after all just because I didn't have too many dupes and the Celes LMR would be really good since Celes is on my A-Team. I did not get that LMR and my first pull was kind of disappointing because it was a dupe Terra OSB and her LMR. But I decided to pull again and I was justly rewarded for my faith. Terror has finally come home to reign, and she already wrecked the hell out of the Behemoth Mote boss with my R3 Meltdown. Also, since that was my third Blood Sword and the USB sword is also a magical sword I decided to tidy up a bit.

I had up to 2 pulls planned for this event's second banner, IV's 1st banner, and V's 1st banner. Has Japan had enough power creep that I shouldn't bother with two pulls? I have no dupes and I'm in dire need of water/ice relics. I'd also really like some magic wind relics. My IV and V synergy is also really bad.

Well, there are two really good ice banners (not counting fest banners; note that there are two elemental-themed fests coming down the line but they both pair ice with at least one other element) in the next 6 months or so. Tomorrow night's FF8 banner 2 has Rinoa's Ice Chain, Edea's excellent BSB, and Rinoa's BSB2 (plus other good prizes for wind in Fujin's OSB, BSB, and SSB). Then, about 5-6 months down the line, there's the next FF13 event, which has a really stellar banner for ice with Noel's USB (instant attack, imperil ice, triplebreak), Serah's USB (ice mage clone of Lightning's USB), Snow's USB (damage, ice radiant shield + ice retaliate), Snow's BSB2 (onion clone entry with physical ice commands), Serah's BSB2 (ice mage clone of Lightning's BSB2), and Serah's LMR (ice mage clone of Lightning's LMR; sensing a theme?), plus a couple other goodies like Vanille's BSB. That one is the best concentrated ice banner for the forseeable future, but it's waaaaay down the line. As for water, there's a great water banner in an FFX event which is like 4 months down the line, with Tidus's USB/CSB/BSB2 plus some other watery stuff.

Once we are at Japan's fabled no SSB pulls you'll be looking six months ahead again and the power creep is incredible, why would you pull on a banner with only four 6*s when Japan's got 7*s and 6*s with the lone BSB being the loser price. This keeps happening. People were skipping 2nd anniversary because EXTREME FEST was looking so hot. Then people were skipping "Extreme Fest" because 30th is looking insane. Now we're saying 30th doesn't look so hot compared to OK banner. Pull for your favorites, friend.

If you're still new then it pays to be a little mercenary and strategic until you have a wide-base of tools, but once you are established the only point to reserving pulls is for a better banner for your faves (looking at you FFTA Banner 1).
