Finished up the Rematches. RNG may factor but Cagnazzo was a lot more of a pain than Caius (who went down in my first attempt), and my IV synergy is marginally better than my XIII synergy.

Though the Lucky Draws are special in that they DON'T have the extended lists of 5*+ relics on them, so you're guaranteed to at least not get any rainbow orbs with off-banner items.

  First try went pretty dang well. Having Vessel of Fate is always helpful, of course, but Penelo's Evanescence meant I could use her as DPS in addition to dancing and Locke's Mirage Phoenix would have been even more impressive if I hadn't mistapped on Terra's default SB instead of Fire Beam (I thought I had it unequipped, oh well). Actually ended up using Minwu's default Basuna VI a few times since they had a penchant for silencing Terra.

We probably should have brought Shellga, I just swapped because I saw it on your loadout and it's not like the UI updates properly. I do like Relm's BSB, though, as long as they didn't instantly follow up with a 1000 Needles or something the instant Curaga is aces after Curaise.

Attestant's mighty spear inspired me. After drawing ONLY a Thor Hammer on the Buff Lucky Draw, I think the game is trying to tell me that Galuf needs to forgo the delicate approach. (Sheepsong is an upgrade over Edward and I already had Bartz's BSB, so if I could just draw his enWind already...)

ApplesandOranges posted:Only real +Fire fist is Zell's Burning Fist. However it hasn't appeared at all since its debut, so your best hope is to pray on the next Lucky Draw. It's probably the best banner to chase a +Fire weapon for Refia for a while, even if XIV 1 overshadows it. The only Thrown weapon with +Fire was on the WoFF Banner, which we're probably not anywhere near (if we're getting it).

Varance posted:The Lion/Prishe event was another Grandmasters collab, so don't expect to get that anytime soon if we still haven't gotten Ayame/Curilla.    vs.  Lion/Prishe also introduces Chain Super Soul Breaks and the Witch ability set. It'd be kind of awkward to skip that given new characters beyond that XI event have Witch. Meanwhile Meia's got Mobius Final Fantasy emblazoned upon it. Which, to be fair, we already have Wol and Echo in that case, but it doesn't seem like they ignore mentioning their tie-ins when relevant.

XIV took all my mythril that I didn't use for OSB 1; banner 1 finally solved my lack of a Wall, banner 2 gave me both +Fire weapons and the rest of Yda's tech besides (missing Sphairai, though; didn't get it last XIV event and wasn't available now). That would have been my only BSB if I hadn't broken decorum for one last 5 mythril pull on banner 1 - Veil of Wiyu, leaving me at 7/9 on the banner (now to hope for the Circlet someday). Cid IV event needs to come so I can 99 my elezen boy. Also I need orbfest-level income again- when RNG decided I'd been without a Wall long enough, it felt strongly enough to give me a ++ on the same pull.

Already seen by some regulars I'm sure but to dump some info for the thread- upcoming in Japan:  SaGa Scarlet Grace Collaboration- Banner with 7 relics, first 11-pull is free. Has a Rebirth dungeon for previous SaGa collabs. (Chances of Global getting are zilch)  FFXIII- Jihl Naabat and Lighting USB.  FFXII- Reks with Fran, Balthier, and Vayne Legend Spheres.  FFXIV- Cid Garlond (apparently specializes in Imperils)    Type-0- Ace, Deuce, and Nine; they have voiced relics, event will also have an originally arranged BGM.   Final Fantasy Legends II Collaboration (this would be the JP mobile game and not the rebranded SaGa II)- Morrow, Wrieg, Aemo  FFVII:DoC- Shelke in Marche VI- Gogo & Umaro in April VIII- Kiros & Ward in June  Cloud and Yuna won the vote for the Final Fantasy Brigade Dress Records. Viewer Polls:  Who do you want to receive a Dress Record? Terra - 47.2% Bartz - 19.2% Onion Knight- 15.1%  Among the following, who do you want to be added to the game as playable characters? Rude & Elena: 47.6% Xezat & Kelger: 33.9% Doga & Unei: 18.5%  Among the following, which spinoff series do you want in FFRK? Tactics Advance: 39.5% FFXV: Kingsglaive: 27.9% Crystal Chronicles: 18.5% FXII: Revenant Wings: 14.0%  Female Record Keeper's name seems to be Urara.  After clearing all the nightmare dungeons, the crystal in the center will contain Urara and the Magicite Dungeons.  - 1 main Magicite slot & 4 sub Magicite slots. - Magicites have their own rarity and element. - Each Magicite has levels, 1/50 in the image for all four. - The description at the top of the Magicite menu says "Total cumulative stat of Magicites". - 3* Liquid Flame, 3* Mom Bomb, 2* Ceberus, 2* Salamander, 1* Yeti & 4* Marilith can be seen - Effects from Magicites are either stat increases and/or elemental/status resistance. - These effects will activate from the start of the battle.  *From the image, we can see - Each Magicite has 3 sub-slots, they have 10% written below. - There are 3 square icons, saying ___ Skill (too small, can't tell). - Below 5* Ifrit's name are 3 details, each says Synchro ___. Ifrit is level 99 btw. - And on the right image, we can see 5* Dark Shiva, 5* Valefor & 5* Leviathan. - As the battle goes on, a Synchro Gauge can be filled up. - When it is full, a Magical Beast from the Magicite will be summoned to join the battle as a party member. - It disappears when the Synchro Gauge reaches zero. - Every Magical Beast has its own unique skill that will activate automatically when it is summoned.  - Magicites are obtainable from Magicite Dungeons. - These extremely difficult dungeons are what lies inside the crystal in the Abyss Chamber. - The dungeon contains a Magical Beast of a certain element and type, there is a chance you will receive a specific Magicite when you defeat them. - To access this dungeon, you have to clear all 12 Abyss Dungeons.  - In March, there will be a special campaign to accompany the arrival of Magicite Dungeons. - This campaign will serve to aid players to easily conquer the Abyss Dungeons in order to access the Magicites.

KataraniSword posted:Find me a realm with good hammers/axes available that isn't FF4/FF5. Hammers fare worse: Cid's got one, Galuf's got two (would be three but we didn't get the collab; we also missed a Bartz axe), and Raijin will have one. But yeah, existant non-dagger synergy coverage is I-V, VIII, and XII. Guns have representation in VI-VIII, X (ᵇᵉᵉ), XII-XIII, and Tactics. Which is... around the same number of realms, but more frequently occurring ones for synergy.

Reks turns out to be XII's dedicated Spellblade. Spellblade 5*, Combat 5*, Black Magic 4*, White Magic 4*, Knight 3* Equips Dagger, Sword, Katana, Spear, Shield, Hat, Helm, Light Armor, Heavy Armor, Bracer Only particularly notable thing in his record spheres is +9% to Spellblade damage. Vaan's USB in action: 10 random physical attacks, Instant Cast, ATK & RES -50% to targets, ATK & RES +30% to user, EX: Sky Pirate (EX: Sky Pirate - Thief Damage +30%, Instant Thief abilities) Reks's BSB in action: ATK & DEF +30% and Haste to party, Burst Mode (Attack -> 4 single-target Lightning/Ice physical attacks, higher multiplier if exploiting weakness Defend -> 4 single-target physical attacks, 25% max HP heal to an ally) Balthier's BSB2 in action: 8 random Fire/NE ranged physical attacks, Imperil Fire, Burst Mode (Attack -> 2 single-target Fire/NE ranged physical attacks, 30% chance of minor Imperil Fire Defend -> 4 single-target Fire/NE ranged physical attacks, multiplier is dependent on number of attack commands used (maximum 3 stacks), counter resets if Burst Mode ends) Reks's SSB in action: 8 single-target physical attacks, 40% max HP heal to party (Bro power!) Despite the animation effects on the USB and Fran getting an Ice Imperil, I guess Vaan's crystals are just less icy than his brother's.

   I do believe this is the first time I've fully cleared an entire event under CM conditions; even XIV which I was loaded for bear I'm pretty sure I splashed outside the realm for speed on one of the non-U+ fights. Of course, this is on the back of a great pull that got me Cecil's OSB, Golbez's BSB, Cid's Pentabreak, and White Dress, and I already had Song of Swiftness and Divine Heal. RW SG ran out juuuust before the end along with Rosa's SB Proshellga; damage was pretty negligible until then.

RagnarokAngel posted:Wol and Echo are the main protagonists from Mobius Final Fantasy. They're here because...I'm not exactly sure. Before they decided on the "Beyond" realm conceit, I was really the best realm fit for the crossover characters (and also handily provided enough warm bodies for a full 5-character party). Why all the Cores languish quite the way they do, I couldn't say. Maybe they're waiting for blue magic.

Second banner has more useful soul breaks overall; Warrior of Light's BSB is pretty good, Matoya has one of those +30% ATK/MAG (hers attaches heavy Regen), and there are a few AOE breakdowns for stacking (ATK/DEF on Garland, MAG/RES on Echo). It's also one of the rare Axe banners, for certain equipment concerns. For synergy equipment, though, the first banner has all the Swords (there are FOUR on the banner), and Sarah's BSB is a pretty good White Mage one.

 Another test of will they or won't they is in the pipeline. Also in the pipeline: a reveal of the next 4 Torment dungeons in JP after XII's Machinist mote dungeon. 8th - FFVIII, Ruby Dragon (Spellblade) 9th - FFIV, Golbez & Dark Dragon (Bard) 10th - FFXIII, Barthandelus (Machinist) 11th - FFXI, Dark Dragon & Seeker (Samurai) Looks like DeNA's going to have to decide when they'll give us the missing goods by then. ...and it could be subject to change, but that's two Spellblade and Machinist appearances and no Ninja sightings as of yet. In any event, the missing Torment realms after those will be I, VI, IX, XIV, and XV. (And Beyond/Type-0?)
