FFII actually wasn't among the datamined banners, nor was the III event for Aria so it looks like neither of them are coming for at least a month.

They were in the last datamine in August. The schedule should be XV, II, VIII, III, VII.

Bugged how? Just curious; that was before my time.

If I'm thinking of the right battle, his AI was supposed to set all his actual attacks other then the basic Attack to only start his the third turn, but they missed his AoE Monk Kick, meaning he had a 90% or so chance to use it, decimating teams before buffs could go up.

I used Mako Might on Ramza's Tailwind (40% HP + Protectga) just to survive the opening.

I just realized tomorrow I can grab that second Gigas Armlet I missed with the FFII Renewal Dungeons :toot:. Liking the opportunity to grab all these old accessories, and triple resist is a particularly good one.

I'm hoping they'll rerelease the 5 Dooms event too. I fully cleared it but I know a lot of people didn't - and all those job motes would be really nice for people to get.

Also I heard the Brass de Bravo events might be coming? Now that I have a relic for every Bard but Gogo V, I want more motes. The buffing bard songs will be great for Magicite too - Sarah, Deuce and Edward will love to have them.

Dollar draw got me Prompto's SSB - first XV relic! Lightning element hyperbreak is pretty nice, but I already have a lightning element Hyper Break with Shelke BSB so I don't think I'll be using it much at all outside of XV.

I was considering a pull on XV for Noctis SSB and Iris BSB, but since I have a pretty great Lightning team already I might just go for the XV Renewal banner to swap Aranea and Prompto's stuff for Iris LMR and Gladio's stuff. Gonna wait a while to decide, or maybe I'll just skip it entirely for the eventual Ignis event.

Ugh, now I'm tempted by the gem draw and need to pick again for the CT draw between Yuna for the MAG buff and holy+ armor, Larsa for Astra and Entrusting and Y'shtola for the CMs and Legend Dive.

Not even sure what I would want from the gem draw. Firion, Alphinaud or Edea maybe? I have Vaan, Raines and OK, just two guaranteed BSBs makes it really attractive.

I'm waiting for this good Friday the 13th news to backfire somehow...

Any decent BSBs on the gem selection suitable for entrusters or quick-cast/noncast? I feel like I'm at a good place with elements and can safely sub 1:00 all the magicites so I'm working towards 30 seconds.

Current options:
- Fully decked out Onion Knight
- Ramza has Shout/Chant/Tailwind
- Just picked up Larsa burst, could potentially replace my healer...haven't given this a shot yet
- Raijin's SSB, but I'm finding my times get slower with him in there since it's only 1 noncast

I have nothing for Shelke but it sounds like that's a route to take when that banner drops in November.

Shelke wouldn't need a relic for Entrusting, you'll never be using her SB anyways. She's 100% the best Entruster.

The only other option that comes to mind if you can't wait is Sazh, since his Burst is Party ATK/MAG +30% and self Instant Cast 2, so he can get set up for Entrusting quicker or pop off Ellara's Wall quickly - but you'll need to bring a Hastega. Edward is also specifically nice for a physical Shadow Dragon team for the Imperil Holy and ATK +50% buff.

But honestly, I'd just wait for Shelke's dive.

I would've thought Seymour would be up there. Also lol at Angeal does he seriously only have a SSB?

Seymour suddenly got a lot of attention in Japan's Superfest 2, getting the magical dark limit chain, a new BSB they actually tried to make relevant with a unique self-regen that stacks with regen and a 6-hit command that deals good damage and self-inflicts 35% HP damage, and an En-dark LMR. Next X event in Japan is supposed to be Tidus and Seymour based too, so he's probably got a USB on the way.

And yes, Angeal is still SSB only. Fusoya has an SSB and SB and isn't too much better. The hope was the next VII event would be Crisis Core themed, but Zack got a new USB in the 3rd Anniversary banners so Angeal will probably be waiting even longer.


And speaking of hated characters, if you're curious on who doesn't have Legend Sphere access in Japan:


Quina, Freya and Dorgaan just got their dives. Larsa and Reks should be coming soon, and every II character but Leila should get access in the next II event. Every one in III, X, XIV and XV ha access, if you're wondering why those realms are missing.

Some surprising people left over. Gilgamesh, Edgar, Quistis and Fang are the most surprising characters not to have a Legend Sphere access yet. I thought they were all fairly popular, outside of FFRK at least.

It's weird that Rude and Elena don't have a dive either, since they were introduced after dives. Most new characters have them when released.

When the VII event happened, not even Aerith and Sephiroth had legend dives yet so they didn't really have space for Rude and Elena. The event gave access to Sephiroth, Aerith and Rufus on Banner 1, and Cid, Reno and Shelke on Banner 2. A side effect of VII having way too many characters.

IV has a similar problem, but they still gave Ursula access over Yang.

Yeah this game needs more bards badly, Allegro Con Moto looks cool but the only characters I could possibly run it on are Tyro and I guess Cait Sith since I have his BSB.

I've got relics for every Bard 5 but Gogo (V) right now. It really is a small pool, just 7 Bards, + Aria and Garnet. Eiko can't Allegro since she dives for Bard 5, but she can use the buff bard songs if we get them. I'm honestly surprised they haven't given it to Echo or Mog considering their appearance in every Brass de Bravo event in Japan.

I think the Dancer is pretty small too? Tyro, Echo, Mog, Cait, Freya (eventualy), Rikku, Penelo and Montblanc, plus Faris and Iris who can dive for it.

I actually didn't know Legend Dives could give ability access

It's just patched in in the same event she gets her Legend Dive, she's not getting ability access from her dive. Not too many have happened recently (Aerith and Rydia just got Light Armor access with the last update), but we do have a few other character buffs coming up.
  • Garnet - Light Armor and Bard 0 -> 5

I just dollar drew a dupe copy of Rosa's USB bow. Should I combine it or keep it separate?

Combine it. Other then the recent Omega battle where you might want two MND-optimized users for Stop, there are very, very few reasons to optimize MND on more then one person. And you might already have a 6* MND weapon that's a lot more flexible then a bow too. It's just for healers and stop infliction/time reduction.

Regardless, the short list of people who can benefit from a MND bow since I was curious who else could actually use it since I just pulled one:

  • White Mages : Arc, Porom, Rosa, Lenna, Penelo
  • White 4/5 users : Echo, Scott, Pecil, Ceodore, Noel, Tyro [Dived: Maria, OK]

Might take a while to search through, but sure. Very subjective opinions below, and I might like stat sticks a bit too much. Tried to avoid going too hard on combo potential relics (i.e - Lightning USB is great with her LMR and BSB2, but the LMR and BSB2 don't stand out too much by themselves).

Rikku USB is probably the biggest other thing that hasn't has a reappearance yet in Japan. Also tried to pick out some of the better SSBs as they're slowly disappearing off banners.

Are LMRs actually included in these renewal draws? The logos say they are, but Cecil's should be in the FFIV banner, as it was in the same original banner as Rosa USB and Kain OSB, and I do't see it in the list. My heart won't be broken or anything if they aren't, but I was planning a pull on XIII for LMRs for Raines and Vanille, both of whom I have legend dived and are only missing those relics, and if those aren't on the table it might change my plans for pulls. I guess we'll see tomorrow if Celes's LMR shows up.

Edited for a basic understanding of how roman numerals work.

Yeah, LMR should be included, it's more bad luck that FF1-3 don't actually have any LMR yet, and 4 and 5 got theirs after the XV event.

You just have some of the dates mixed up. Rosa USB is on there because it debuted in the Summer Fest. Cecil's USB and LMR debuted with the Edge/Rubicante event after the Gladio/Iris event.


ceaselessfuture posted:

I'd add Deuce USB, LMR, and Gladio SSB to that list too. Gladio SSB is great if you have someone else in the party giving haste.

I didn't include Deuce USB just because it's only healing. The instant Y'shtola BSB entry is nice, but the Raise proc isn't very useful and a lot of other White Mage USBs offer more. Her LMR for buff duration is really just for her BSB until we know for sure if we get the new bard songs, so I didn't want to include it.

Gladio's SSB is pretty nice too if you can fit a Hastega, but I tried to limit myself in putting too many relics. It feels like Last Stand relics are a bit more common recently too? I did try to limit myself to the top picks, but XV and Type-0 just have a higher overall quality then the other banners for their SSBs.

Does anyone know what the percentages are for the newest style of banner? The kind XV has.
Banners are still 14% total.

The split should be:
  • 2 6* Relics (1% each)
  • 4 BSB (1% each)
  • 3 LMR (1% each)
  • 2 SSB (2% each)
  • 1 SSB (1% - Should be the last banner item, so Noctis SSB)

The upcoming FF2 event is a step backwards with an SSB replacing a BSB and LMR from event rescheduling, then back to normal with VIII.

The VII event onwards will be swapping that 1% SSB with a 6* relic, which will be the format for a while.

They could be thinking of Ramza's Enholy & Shout BSB too. Either way, we've got at least 3 direct Shout upgrades out there with Quina USB, OK's Ninja USB and Ramza BSB2. Maybe Y'shtola will get a Wall USB2 to make us forget about her first one.

Speaking of Wall availability, there was also a gem-banner in Japan where you could pick an SSB or LMR, but Y'shtola and Tyro have their Wall relics available instead of an SSB. A month or two before 3rd Anniversary, I think.

I was planning on just waiting for the eventual Ignis event, but SSBs no longer show up on banners in Japan, excluding for when new characters are released. Makes it worth one shot, especially with the extra Mythril I'm grabbing from the Renewal Dungeons.

Bard Banner isn't that bad, they stuck Onion BSB on it. No LMR which is an odd choice. Oddly enough, it makes the banner a no pull for me with too many dupes, but it's honestly pretty nice.

Edward USB - MAG, RES & MND +30% for 25s, Haste & Magical Quick Cast 2
Mog USB - ATK, MAG, & MND +30% for 25s, Quick Cast 3
Kefka BSB2 - 8 Random Target Dark/Bio Attacks, Attach Dark and Burst Mode
  • CMD 1: 2 ST Dark/Poison Attacks, Stack Madness (max 3), cause Madness (-10/20/30% MAG) to enemy based on stack
  • CMD 2: 3-6 ST Dark/Poison Attacks, damage and hits scale with Madness stack.
Eiko BSB
Cait Sith BSB
Edward BSB
Kefka BSB1
Onion BSB
Cait Sith SSB2 - 8 ST White Non-Elemental Attacks, Party Crit +50%
Mog SSB
Edward SSB

The easiest way to think of Kefka's BSB2 is like a magical Squall BSB2, but with a MAG debuff attached. Not bad with easier sources of cast time buffs for magic like Allegro con Moto.

They datamined another BRA BRA banner that features Mog and Deuce's USB, so they could be staggering the new relics to one of the other BRABRA events? Echo BSB could be on the way along with Edward and Mog's LMRs.

I feel like the only reason Mog BSB isn't on there is because it's a rod, and not an instrument or armor.

Coincidentally, none of them have received a new SB in Japan for a very long time - this is Kefka's last, and Quistis/Edgar haven't gotten a new SB, let alone a LMR, for over a year.

Kefka does get another SB, but it's not even a poison SB - he gets a Dark/NE OSB and dualcast Darkness LMR that released during Superfest 2. So we could be seeing it this Winter, or in 6+ months whenever he shows up on a VI banner again in Japan.

Also, I don't think anyone brought it up (or I'm blind) but the FFII banner in Japan was released.

Biggest details are:
  • Maria getting the Earth version of Vivi USB
  • Minwu following in Arc and Rem's footsteps with an offensive USB with White double (like Vivi and Maria's Black Double for white magic) and an En-holy BSB2 and a doublecast white LMR2 (3 relics and no Medica on the banner)
  • Emperor continuing his transition from Wind to Earth with a new Enearth BSB

All the XV events have matched up pretty well to the XV DLC releases in Japan, so Ignis will probably arrive in December with Ravus, like how Prompto came with Aranea as the side character featured in the DLC.

Maybe Ravus and Luna, actually? XV might not have enough relics for two proper banners yet but a three character debut could cover that, or it'll be like Type-0 where they just have two banners with every relic possible including SSBs.

We're apparently getting BRABRA part 2 tomorrow. Echo's BSB1 finally makes an appearance from the skipped Mobius event, Mog's LMR from JPs... 3rd? BRABRA event, and the surprising inclusion of Tyro's LMR from the skipped (or upcoming?) Superfest.

Relics:

Mog USB
Deuce USB
Faris USB2 (The debuff + Wind Imperil)
Echo BSB1 - 40% HP Medica, Party MAG/RES +30%
  • Command 1: 4-hit Lightning/NE damage
  • Command 2: AoE MAG -40%, 20% Chance of Stop (Note: Heathen Frolic Sarabande is MAG -50%)
Mog BSB
Deuce BSB
Krile BSB
Tyro LMR - Start with Instant Cast 2
Mog LMR - Stat Buff duration +30%
Deuce LMR
Faris SSB
Echo SSB1 (the Hastega)

I'd personally say this banner isn't that great, especially falling pretty close to things like FFTA. Mof and Deuce's stuff and Tyro's LMR are pretty nice, but nothing else stands out a lot.

Scott's RM3 is [Reraise and DEF +20%] which can be useful in some weird setups.

Montblanc's RM2 is [Start with Haste and MAG +10%], which I believe is the first Haste RM that increases MAG compared to all the ATK ones we have

Rem's RM3 is [WHT damage +30%], which might actually be relevant if they keep giving white mages more offensive options. Using the existing weakness or holy damage RMs will be fine, unless they introduce Aero and make it White Magic.

No other big standouts. I think Kelger gets a clone of Noctis's RM3 for Auto-battling, Marcus gets a dupe of Zack's Haste and ATK/DEF +10%, Cinque is obviously getting the Heavy damage up RM, and Marche gets another Sentinel RM like Curilla, not that you'll even be using them at the same time. The Cores do get some occasionally useful Attack replacing RMs like Magus's AoE Fire/Ice/Lightning damage, Ninja's (slightly weaker) Fire Veil and Spellblade's half-strength Quake Strike.

2/11 - Ramza USB, Agrias LMR.

I'm actually really happy with this, because Ramza USB was the only item I really wanted on here that wasn't on Orlandeau 1, so I'll just wait to pull for Marche later.

And Montblanc, I also like Orlandeau 2 better then FFTA 2.

I'm gonna go get a lottery ticket, though it's a shame knight abilities weren't buffed in that ability rework, I already tend to hit quad-nines or close to it with Beatrix so if Marche is the same that enholy won't boost much. What's the next banner we're supposed to look forward to? I don't think I'll be spending any more mythril on this one.

The -bringer Knight abilities and the Blink Ninja abilities should be coming in... 2/3 months? Might push Marche ahead of Beatrix with the Quickcast and the jump to 5 hits - they even have pretty similar legend dives.

Next ability update details:

If we get a new thread, I'm voting for tossing that 5* mote chart in the OP because I'm a huge dumbass that keeps forgetting to just save the image every time someone posts it.

Speaking of, it was recently updated:

If you scroll through the replies, there are variations that separate different types of LM2s - the * mote chart with just dualcast LMs is pretty nice too, and a chart of all the dualcast LMs by ability/element https://twitter.com/onworld1/status/936130301004103680.
