Daily was a Fang.
Decided to go in on a ticket, got my 3rd Zidane. I will always take more dual wields. Second ticket was my very first Vaan! Don't really need him but it's good to have. Then I got deClyne'd and I figure that's a good place to call it.

Would love a Lightning, hell, getting my first 5* base would be awesome no matter who it was. But I guess I'll hold on to my remaining tickets for Noctis if he's coming real soon, or Orlandu.

13 tickets, 1 half price pull and an 11 pull.
No Chizuru, no Noctis, no Mercedes.
Like 5 Duane for whatever bad luck. 4 or 5 Charlotte.

Ouch... this hurts. Didn't really get anything aside from the Ludmille that put me a bit closer to Dual Cast.

I have done probably a good 80 pulls on the Noctis banner. Just did an 11 pull.
"Oh, my first Mercedes.. finally. OH MY GOD A RAINBOW CRYSTAL, could this finally be my first base 5*?!?- it's.... its Bartz...."


Since Lightning has come out, I've gotten 3 rainbow crystals.
Garland, Warrior of Light, and now Bartz.

I feel like this is some sick joke.

Well, if you bitch loudly enough, I guess someone answers.

It isn't Noct, like I really wanted. But my first base 5* is still a big relief.

drat that's a really good deal. Hope global gets something close to that.
Especially daily free pulls. Even if it's just the Xmas units banner, I'd be happy.

I did 22 pulls (half price pull, 10 tickets and an 11 pull) on the SoM banner. Got 3 Popoi and Mercedes was my ONLY gold crystal.
This game is aggressively telling me my Iuck is poo poo.

Exvius decided to smile upon me with the new banner. One ticket to get Leon (the main thing I wanted. Just need that TM for Luneth)
Figured that was great luck, but still don't have C. Luna. So threw a ticket at the V-Day banner. It started blue which was good for Luna, went gold which made me worry. Then went rainbow.
My 2nd ever 5* Base! It was Marie. Not my #1 pick. But she seems like she'll have some really good uses later on.

After 3 tickets on FF2 and one more on V-Day I got my C. Luna and a Guy.

Free 11 pull got me a Chizuru, Mercedes and WoL. With everything else being blue.

Used 10 tickets on the banner. One gold Vanille. 3 Shera. Was hoping for a Shine, but not too gutted. I still got lots of stuff to TM farm before I would even get started on her.

Did 2 more 11 pulls on the banner hoping for something decent. 5 more Shera's, NO Shine's and no rainbows.
Gonna just take that as a sign to just cut my losses and continue holding out for my man TG Cid.

Well, final daily pull for this banner was an Edge. After all dailies and 20 tickets I ended up with one Bartz, two Exdeath and one Agrias for banner units. Going to just walk away accepting that Ramza just wasn't in the cards.

Now to do dailies and a couple tickets on Players Choice, not get Noctis for the 2nd banner now, and be really disappointed.

But hey, luck has to turn around eventually, right?

30 tickets. 25,000 Lapis worth of 11 pulls.

No Chizuru, not a single rainbow. 1 Refia, 3 Zidanes, 4 Cecil and one very broken urge to keep playing this game. I think overall I maybe got 9 gold crystals out of over 80 pulls.

But hey, I got 2 Ring of the Lucii moogles AND a Brave Suit moogle to help rub more salt in the wound.

So after well over 100 summons, I decided to just take on the event. Bought some summon tickets from king mog.

Looks like luck was there, Orlandeau is now mine.
Now to hoard tickets and lapis for Rikku.

I have to head to work soon. But when I get home I'll buy some friend slots to add some people.

Threw 10 tickets down. Got Xon, but no Aiden.

Should have known the half price shadow was a strange omen. As my first ticket was Bedile.
Xon seems pretty good though. 6.5k eggs from the Magic Library exploration. Didn't kill everything but stole in every battle.

After my last three dailies have been Leo, Celes and Cyan I have come to the conclusion that an FF6 banner is next and I have stumbled upon the rate up for it. I got Shadow AND Sabin on tickets while pulling for Xon too, so I am sticking to this theory.

Crafting my eggs right now. Any reason for me to keep a Staff of Wrath? Or multiple even?

I'm keeping a Staff of Wrath for Warrior of Light's 6*

Dual wielding Winged Saint and Staff of Wrath. Champions belts and Shard of Genius. Probably with a rainbow robe for those resistances.

I want to see just how tanky I can make a WoL.

Got Kefka done will all objectives completed.
Marie continues to be an MVP in my party. Protectga and Shellga combined with Love You All is such a good combo for survivability.

It was a beautiful end to the fight though, I had just used Carbuncle. He threw out Graviga that got reflected, and then my Orlandeau and a friend Orlandeau Divine Ruinationed him into oblivion while Trance Terra Limit Bursted for an Overkill finish,

Bots are definitely back. My rank just keeps dropping.
Man, I felt pretty confident around 17K. Now I'm struggling to keep in the 70k range.


Had a tough time fighting with RNG, but finally succeeded in getting all objectives against Echidna! Man that trial is very very hard.

But on a complete whim I had decided to throw down a ticket, and well...

8 tickets plus the daily. Got a single Abel. Only other good unit was Ludmille as I got hit with the holy quadrinity of Bedile, Shadow, Rakshasa and Russell.
I think that I'm done with tickets on this banner, I'll stick to dailies.


As for the event, Xon was really great for the elite fight. Twist of Fate is just so good.

boy are my arms tired posted:


i thought vaan/bartz/exdeath were good rolls? did the new units that came out recently outclass them just that much?

Vaan has long since been outclassed. He'll get a 6* soon, but I don't think that will make that account worth keeping.
Bartz and Exdeath are good, but not amazing. Exdeath is still a very good mage but you can probably get another one rather easily.

What you are looking for are the big deal damage dealer 5* bases. Get a Noctis, Orlandeau or Aileen and you'll be very well off. Many of the 5*s will do you pretty well overall, but some of them (like Marie or Wilhelm for example) won't be amazing without the other units to do the damage for you.
Reroll a bit until you at least get a 5* base (rainbow crystal) and check to see if they're any good.

I got 4 slots right now for people who need bonus unit friends for the event.
Normally I have Orlandeau up, but also occasionally put my Marie up for certain trials.

Jesus. I don't know if it's just me, but Metal God rates are insane.

First run I had 1, second run had 2 and third run had a triple Metal God. Two runs later I see 2 more.
After using 360 energy I had 96K of the event currency. Was able to buy the 3 new pieces of equipment from the Mog King in one go.

I'm very interested to see how people on the Reddit and stuff like that react to WoL's 6* not being the end all tank right out of the gate. He only really becomes amazing after enhancements and even then it's only for physical based enemies.

I suppose it's going to be tough though, after being hyped to hell and back I doubt a lot of people would listen to anyone saying their saviour WoL is anything less than a 10/10 unit upon release that trivializes every bit of content.

Cool, I guess I need to get a quick 1k lapis then.

New story missions are out tomorrow and half energy for story starts Friday. There will be an easy 1000+ lapis there.

Also, anyone who hasn't caught up on the story quests or gotten all the keys should use this half energy week to make sure that's taken care of.

My half price pull today was a Golbez and a 5% to all Moogle. I think that was very worth it.
I have about 190% in trust moogles stocked up right now. I'm really hoping that next weeks pulls get me something great to use them on (like maybe finally pulling a Noctis! I can dream at least)


Winged Orpheus posted:


Also, discord says this banner sucks and save my lapis for the anniversary event, confirm/deny?

Very confirmed. Next week will have an 11 pull with a guaranteed 5*
Also the FF10 banner is a good one to pull on. Rikku is a very big game changing unit. And Tidus is very very good as well.
