Picked up Elarra's USB, bsb, and materia off two pulls, plus Faris USB and Cloud's glint. Pretty happy here.

Zurai posted:Kimahri is AMAZING for Phoenix, though. Even those are usable if you just like them. Gau has the full Combat/Celerity kit (and will get amazing tech to use it, soon), and Knight/Dragoon/Ninja are by far the most potent physical skillsets in the game on their own so Angeal, Ward, and Kiros aren't totally dead in the water. There's nothing wrong with them statistically (unlike cores) and I could see you taking them as far as even A+ fights; it's just that after that, their lack of good SB tech holds them back. They're not bad, they're just outclassed. KataraniSword fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Sep 27, 2018 |

MarquiseMindfang posted:Speaking of Cactuars. How's everyone planning to spend their tickets? I think I'm going for a 50/50 split between Power/Earth/Holy and Black/Lightning/Ice. Based on the 6*s I want, I need ~30 of most orbs except Black and Lightning, which I need like 200 of. So I'm just going super ham on that banner once I've gotten first time rewards for the Crystals/Majors (i.e., from today on). Also of note: Lightning and Ice are used in a lot of the new 6*s; Earth is at a similar level but Holy...not so much. Pull recap as I completely missed the thread during RoP: -RoP went pretty well, got Squall USB2, Zack CSB, my first ice boost physical armor in Noel LMR, and Celes/WoL OSBs. Rest was largely dupe/ssb chaff. -LMR lucky got my Queen's, who I have nothing else for; I've got plenty of lightning boost armor so even that isn't such a big deal, oh well. -Ultra lucky got me Curilla's and Jecht's dark USB. Not bad, I have his LMR so he's reasonably solid for faster clears. -Banner 1 was 1/11 Maria USB. If I'm only getting one thing, best be a good one. Not pulling on banner 2, I have Elarra's USB and Cloud's ASB already, so with Faris's meh USB3 there and some dupes on the low end it just doesn't seem worth it. Right now the question is 'do I pull on banner 3 or instead pull on the LMR select we are probably getting to get OK LMR to go with his mUSB which I'm probably going to select on the USB select.' I'm also considering Godwall for the USB select, but with no gen 2 chains I feel like I'm just trading shoehorning in abilities for shoehorning in characters for boosts in most cases. Will probably pull on Banner 5 as well, I wouldn't hate building out my magic lightning though I guess it's less important given Ashe USB and Maria USB?

Cowcaster posted:edit: wow everyone’s getting elarra and onion knight stuff huh I don't, I pulled a Cloud glint, Terra USB, and... Papalymo BSB? Why the gently caress is this here? Between that and going 2/11 with double Papa sticks on the OSB lucky, I think the game is attempting to tell me something. Still, it's nice to have a good excuse to use Terra again. That could've gone much worse.

Fister Roboto posted:Delita's USB is extremely good if you have a chain to go with it. Fortunately he can fit into fire, ice, and lightning teams just fine, especially now that there are 6* spellblades for each of those elements (he can do holy too but all his materia are for spellblade). He's probably the best non-Butz multi-element spellblade. Don't bother with the BSB, it's just damage. The IC2 you get from the USB is worth it every time. From a practical standpoint, am I stupid to chase for celes stuff if I already have squall and Laguna csb as well?

Kheldarn posted:Oh? I hadn't heard about that. Someone also announced an HD remake in like 2015, it was a hoax. Square Enix has never announced any plans to remake FF Mystic Quest. One thing to keep in mind with Square re-visiting things: they're still a Japanese company. If it wasn't big in Japan, they probably don't care about it. Don't expect a Secret of Evermore remake any time soon either.

Probably for the better; Unlike the original Seiken Densetsu/FF Legend, SD2/Secret of Mana and SD3 didn't age nearly so well and the SoM remake tanked hard. Secret of Evermore, on a recent playing, had a lot of good ideas but a lot of really wonky execution and a remake would only exacerbate how divisive it was even over here. poe meater posted:From a practical standpoint, am I stupid to chase for celes stuff if I already have squall and Laguna csb as well? Celes is a slightly different niche than Squall. Whereas Squall is pure DPS, Celes works better as a dps/support hybrid. Plus, she can slot into a Holy team better than Squall can, even if they're both relatively element-agnostic. You're not stupid to chase but you just need to stay aware that you're looking at a sidegrade instead of an upgrade.

I’m hoping we get 50 mythril within the next week so I can pull on FF8 again. However, I wanted to join the book club. Elarra won’t give me her book. She is mean.

poo poo, I got 4 of those hats and no OK USB or Elarra LMR! Though I did get some other stuff I didn't have but I'm in the same boat, basically everything is dupes at this point and I can't justify another pull.

Bell_ posted:Please elaborate for folks who still play it occasionally It's no less grindy than the other Mana games, and the movement/attacking just feels a lot more sluggish than SoM. In every other respect it's a marked upgrade, but I honestly personally feel like Legend of Mana is more responsive to play (even if it has its own problems). I never said it was bad, just that it didn't age that gracefully. I think the Gameboy FF Legend or Adventures of Mana (not Sword of Mana) is a little more evergreen than either SNES Seiken Densetsu.

the change to building up super attacks from individual hits instead of sitting around like a lemon building charge to do something that was less effective than just repeated normal attacks over the same duration was actually extremely smart and good

The forced grinding is really my only problem with SD3 and even then it's much less annoying than Secret of Mana where every spirit needed their own attention, as did every weapon.

5 pulls. 2/11 - Faris BSB, Papaylmo LMR 1/11 - Faris BSB again 1/11 - Elarra LMR 2/11 - Elarra LMR again, and... TERROR BALTIMORE USB2 THANK GOD 3/11 - Cloud AOSB, Cloud Glint, Papaylmo BSB I mean... I got TERROR's new toy and I'm happy about that but kinda gutted I can't get Elarra USB. I don't think I can justify another pull with what's left of my mythril.

Probably a dumb question but for making multiple accounts what do I need for a new google play account? Just a different email, or is there some behind the scenes device detection or something I'd also need to separate?

 I took down Quetzalcoatl with Bartz USB1/BSB, Selphie USB, Galuf CSB/BSB, Cinque USB, and Edge SSB2. My team is pretty busted, but it was still close. At least there's no RNG in what the boss does, just dualcasts.

So I started a new account as I said, figured I'd do the RoP to get some stuff to help it clear content. I get to IX and it immediately pulls the Garnet CSB I wasted 300 mythril chasing last fest. Low key furious tbh.

Well, we don't know what will happen six months from now in JP, or even one month from now, but I'm certainly not saying we shouldn't be prepared to do some pulls on those banners. I'm not going to start hoarding six months out, but I'll be sure to stash some mythril once it's a little closer.

I think this really varies based on the individual account and player. Personally, I feel like I have everything I need to beat everything except D??? Nu-Torments and maybe some 5* magicites; so I am content to only do a few lucky draws and maybe the very rare pull between now and 4th Anni Fest. That being said, if I wasn't a former dolphin with some great luck, I wouldn't feel like I necessarily had all of the tools to enjoy playing for the next 6 months without anything new. I can see both sides to this argument, but in general I'd say "seriously consider any pulls made in the next 6 months, make sure it is a good banner for your needs."
