Is the two-jumpstart ff6 event bugged or working as intended? I need those Bravery motes and if it's not supposed to be there I should probably do it now.

6/22 so far on Phase 2 Locke BSB - Thief Knife Bartz BSB - Great Sword Relm BSB - Magical Brush Golbez BSB - Zeromus Shard Krile SSB - Fire Lash Beatrix SSB - Ragnarok Still trying to figure out which characters/relics are worth using. Seems like Bartz is going into my main party. May pull again trying for a chicken knife.

Is there any indication at all of what's actually going to be on the Crystal Tower banner? I know not to expect the same stuff JP had, but do we know if it's SSB+ or what kind of pool it's going to have? Is it just going to be a giant pile of like every random SB?

afaik it's something like a pool of 500 with 50%+ being SSBs and then diminishing percentages for USBs, CSBs, LMRs, and OSBs. e: https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/114492-final-fantasy-record-keeper/75808922

Aside from the selection options, the Crystal Tower and Gem only draws are basically the same pool of relics right?

Ugh, that pool is pretty gross. Seems like really high odds of just getting trash SSBs. I do want Lulu's + ice armor really bad, though. Also there's another dungeon lucky draw before that banner, right?

To update my earlier post: The datamined announcement got changed, according to https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/72pgd3/gemonly_draw_starts_927_600pm_pdt/ "The select Relics in this 11x Relic Draw will only include those that have appeared in the game up to the challenge event, Scouring the Depths (June 2017)." is what the announcement now says so I think we're going to end up with the same list that JP got.

Reddit reminded me that JP had a twitter campaign going on during their 30th fest, where you'd get a stamina refill once per day just for clicking on a link (not actually having to tweet). So we had thousands more stamina during the fest with which to grind, and I still baaarely cleared out the casino. At the rate I'm getting chips I'll have to spend like 50 mythril to get everything. Game's really pissing me off lately.

I don't value clearing out the casino (or the fest rewards) enough to throw myth refreshes at it. Myth is for relics alone.

Most of the stuff I don't care about, but the MC3s are pretty limited and valuable, the 6* accessory is one-of-a-kind, and Divine Cross is the equivalent of 22 major orbs, which, god drat that's a lot to waste on not pulling it. Essentially, DeNA screwed over global again. JP didn't have to use mythrils for refreshes. Schwartzcough fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Sep 28, 2017 |

I'd agree with you if the casino didn't have 5* motes and if we didn't have the ability to go tiny bee/11 on what was one of the biggest banners of the year. Considering how valuable characters like Shadow can be without any relics at all once you legend dive them I'm all for using mythril to get those motes.

With the Gem Draw Selection announced, we might have an idea of what we'll have available on our Crystal Tower Selection (The Mythril pick coming later). Bolded changed relics. Missing from Gem Draw Selection: FFI: Sarah (replacing Echo) FFII: Minwu (replacing Leila) FFIII: CoD FFIV: Kain (replacing Porom) FFV: Krile FFVI: Terra (replacing Edgar) FFVII: Aerith FFVIII: Fujin (replacing Seifer) FFIX: Beatrix (replacing Freya) FFX: Nothing? (replacing Lulu; Missing bursts are BSB2s for Yuna and Auron which aren't included, and Braska which was released after the Gogo V Event) FFXI: Curilla and Prishe. FFXII: Larsa (replacing Penelo) FFXIII: Vanille FFXIV: Y'shtola (replacing Thancred 1) FFT: Orlandeau Some surprising swaps - Sarah, Larsa, Y'shtola are all amazing healing bursts for the Mblink, Astra and Bubble respectively. Fujin has a nice support/wind magic BSB and Beatriz is a nice Imperil Holy user on someone with a dualcast knight LM2. Not sure what's happening with FFX and FFXI, whether XI is getting two picks or if FFX is getting Yuna 2, Auron 2 or Braska. Honestly surprised about Y'shtola not being on the Gem Draw. I'd imagine a few people would've paid to pick her. pichupal fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Sep 28, 2017 |

The only one I was planning on picking was Porom BSB for a faithga medica, and of course they removed all those. I went from having 3 dupes to: Sarah, Minwu, Desch (dupe), Kain (dupe), Krile, Terra (dupe), Aerith (dupe), Fujin (dupe), Beatrix (dupe), ???, Curilla, Larsa, Vanille (dupe), Y'shtola (dupe), TG Cid (dupe) 9 God-drat dupes! On the whole the banner is better, but somehow they managed to gently caress me personally right in the rear end. Everything I hear about this game lately is just making me angry.

That's completely false, whoever told you that didn't know what they were talking about. Also, I completely forgot about the twitter refresh for like 90% of this fest in JP and still cleared out the casino with several days left.

I thought X was Lulu's BSB? I kinda wanted that +ice armor, that blows if they replaced it. They actually put some better stuff on there overall, but I have a lot of them. Terra's BSB sucks, right? Slightly tempted by Fujin since I have her OSB and her BSB would probably be nice to have for Golem, but eh.

Zurai posted:Nope. Not at all. That's completely false, whoever told you that didn't know what they were talking about. And some lucky people might do that. Unlucky fucks like me, however, barely cleared it in JP using every refresh, and so far in global I've pulled 180/1032 prizes after spending every stamina on the fest. I'm not going to be even close to clearing it. I'd need like 30 stamina refreshes. Edit: And the upper right knight always drops chips, so each GROUP of knight will always drop chips. However, the other 3 rarely do (I've gotten two drops from the same group twice so far). This is the same as it was in JP.

My pull was kinda disappointing, Steiner BSB, Sabin SSB, and duplicate Mog BSB . I chose Onion Knight BSB because a lot of people were recommending it and it seems useful.

I got 3/11, Dupe Aphmau Burst and kinda sucky status ailment supers for Irvine and Thancred. I haven't made my selection yet. Top of the list is Ayame's Burst, but I'm also gunning for that (among others) on Banner 4. If I get it, I'll pick either Bartz's water BSB, or maybe Bio Chainsaw for funsies and FF6 synergy.

Yeah, this whole issue with the chips is going to really annoy me. I sent a message to DENA, because it really is stupid that we have to rely on luck to get golden knights to even show up, and then more luck that they will drop more than one set of chips. I'm actually under 20k and other than doing the crystal tower and the Multiplayer fights, all my stamina has been going into getting orbs. I'll probably start using those chips and then start using stamina to refresh near the end and once I get all top prizes just be done. I can live without some 3* motes, but 4* and above are just too important to miss out on.

My gem pull netted me a dupe Sephiroth OSB (had just picked that up from the Luckies, too), but also Vivi BSB2 and Cyan USB. Not sure exactly what I want from the selection, though I may lean towards Maria since I've missed that every time. Actually kind of wanted Freya's BSB from Crystal Tower (knowing full well it's not optimal) to go with her enWind SSB but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Gem-only 2/11: Lann OSB and Porom SSB. Underwhelming. Since there aren't any insta-cast healer BSBs on the selection, my next need is any Earth damage. My only sources right now are Bartz USB with R2 Quake Strike and Guy SSB. Maria has a stellar BSB or I have Rinoa's en-earth SSB and could grab her BSB, but I'm thinking it might just be easiest to go with Bartz BSB1 for the earth command since my teams are focused on physical damage. I can wait until the last day but I doubt I'll pull anything else as useful. Anyone else having trouble deciding on a BSB selection?

The way it worked in Japan was that all the relics not included on the Gem Selection list were on the Crystal Tower list. So Lulu was moved to the Gem selection list, but nothing was actually moved out of the FFX list, so all of the bursts are available. Braska's BSB is likely, although it breaks the rule a bit since it's debut event was after the Scouring the Depths FFV event. And yes, Terra BSB sucks. Infidel Castro posted:So it sounds like I can not worry about dropping real money on this banner, huh? I mean, if this is more a decision based on if you have the money and want to spend. There are still pretty god picks here like Onion or Raines BSB, it's just lacking the chase worthy Healing BSBs now. Benthalus posted:Gem-only 2/11: Lann OSB and Porom SSB. Underwhelming. Maria is the best magic Earth Burst, and Yang is the best Physical Earth Burst (for DPS with burst commands, at least. Ingus will come ahead once Earthbringer arrives in a few months). I strongly recommend against Rinoa 1 and Bartz 1. I'm personally not sure what to pick either. Golem and Living Flame were the toughest for me, so I've considered Edge and Alphinaud for my picks but I'm not sure if I want to spend the gems yet. I'm lucky enough to have some of the favourites like OK and Raines. Also considered Edea and Ayame - my Ice team isn't great either and I heard the worst 4* Magicite boss is the Ice-weak Tiamat. Also considered Firion for the Instant Mblink, but I might hold off on making the draw (and selection) until after seeing how fest banners go. pichupal fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Sep 28, 2017 |

Uh holy poo poo, Larsa BSB? Even though I got Iris', I'm still extremely interested in a wrathable healer. Bonus points for me already having both his SSBs. The only other interesting one for me now remains CoD, but I will probably pass it up honestly.

I like how the last time the Roulette was around, people complained about the Knights because they easily maxed out the roulette and didn't want them when they wanted orbs, and now we have the opposite problem. Theoretically, anyway. I still don't know how the rest of the fest will go, but I won't make claims until we're actually at the end.
