Still tempted to pull on this for a last shot at Tidus' OSB, but the rest of the banner looks solidly meh. Yuna's BSB looks flat-out bad on paper, but I'm sure I'm missing something.

It's not going to heal as well as other healer BSBs, but that's kind of offset by a Faithga that stacks with Sheepsong (I think?) and the ability to deal damage while throwing out medicas

Noel's SSB and Gilgamesh's OSB. drat, I was really hoping that disco ball was for Bartz because I've got his En-Wind SB. But now I have too many dupes to justify another pull. Bah.

I made a Memento Mori in preparation for the upcoming potential Golbez pain train and have been using it with Emperor.

Don't use Memento Mori with Golbez's BSB. The BSB already boosts magic, which makes Memento Mori redundant.

It's fantastic with other dark mages though

6/33

Agrias's OSB
Eiko's BSB (dupe)
Alphinaud's BSB x2
Alphinaud's SSB x2

I was hoping to get Agrias's BSB too because that would give me every single SB for Agrias, but alas

Agrias's SSB + OSB

Man, they really need to not design multiplayer bosses who do "everybody goes to 1 hp" attacks, because there is way too much lag involved. That's twice in a row now that Kuja did Ultima directly into a Giganvolt for a full party wipe without a single person being able to respond inbetween. I don't even think an instant-cast medica would have made a difference, since people with fully red ATB bars didn't get an action off.

edit: Er okay seriously what the gently caress, is this supposed to be impossible without last stand or something? Did they break his AI? There's literally no chance to respond to his Ultima followed up by AoE attack, even with an instant-cast medica, and KO-resist accessories don't work on it either.

If you have an instant medica SB you should be hosting for this fight. No lag that way. I hosted with Vanille's BSB, and was able to have her BSB go off instantly after Ultima

I have two sources of Last Stand, the damage reflection thing, Shout, Terra's OSB, and some other nice tools, so the hardest Nemesis fight is probably doable for me. I'm not that interested in trying though because the reward is dumb and I don't like fights that require such a specific toolset to even stand a chance

Based on the relics, should I get Ramza since I have two of them? Not a whole lot of good armor here and the rest is just 1-4 star trash items

Kind of wanting to replace MC and cloud with something else...

You should get Ramza because Shout is insanely good.

3 and 4 star items aren't trash until you get at least five 5* weapons and armor for every realm. Remember, all equipment gets a stat boost when you're in its corresponding realm. I've got twice combined 4* FFV axes that are stronger than anything else I've got when I'm doing FFV levels

You're not going to get much sympathy from older players. Back in the day damage and action taken medals were so bad that you would often have to quit the app to restart a battle with trash because, before you even got a turn, one of them used an AoE move that hit your party for like 700, and that was enough to lose both damage medals and cost you mastery. Realm dungeons were insanely tough to complete

The EX bosses in events could do big gently caress you attacks in the first round as well. Remeber the joys of restarting a fight dozens of times until you got mitigation up and everyone was still alive? :shepicide:

Good times. Remember when Intimidate was one of the most valuable abilities for achieving mastery? I'm kinda sad I shattered it

First time I was able to do a Torment CM. Used Agrias's En-Holy SSB in round 4, then nuked Belias with Agrias's OSB to deal 99999 three times in a row. Done.

Cid Raines should've been the final boss of FF13, he's a much more compelling character than the things that are and having a Cid be the main villain of a FF game would be cool

I liked Barthandelus as an antagonist because he was just so happy whenever he was being an rear end in a top hat to the party

Man this CM is a bitch, he's really easy until like the last 20% of his HP and then he goes nuts and starts dropping ultimate meteor followed by doublecast AoE. Resistance-ignoring attacks when you don't have any good debuff SBs in a realm are brutal.

Yeah, it's pretty rough. I barely managed to pull out a win thanks to Arc's blink medica, which allowed my party to dodge a hit that would have killed 4 of them

I'm wondering why it was designed like that. It really feels like it exists to gently caress physical characters and only benefit mages with 4* support.

Huh, I think I've suddenly reached the point where this game doesn't hold my interest anymore. Events are a chore to go through, we fight the same bosses over and over, and there's no real point to honing abilities because BSBs rule the day. What am I even shooting for anymore? :shrug:
