It's a bonanza for the lesser-ran VI characters this event!
The long-awaited new Legend Spheres:

Legend Materia posted:

Gau LM1: PHY Damage +10%

I want to point out that with this event Gau has finally stopped being a joke. To put it into perspective Gau USB is a straight copy of Orlandeau USB, only swapping Double Knight for Double Combat/Celerity.

Goes rather swimmingly with his LM2, as well.

It may have been a mislabeling of Ultimecia whose burst DOES function similarly to a wind/dark magical Squall.

The newest JP Reports out and there's some interesting stuff ahead!

First up,
FF Type-0 (July 13th)

Debuting Jack (the katana-wielding class member; maybe ninja and/or samurai?). Ace, Deuce & Rem will also be featured.

Then is FFXII (July 20th)
It's focused on Balthier, but Penelo and Gabranth join as the other characters.

Another Corridor featuring earth-weak bosses will be on July 23rd.

Next event is FF Tactics (July 27th)

It debuts Orran! It will also have a wardrobe record for Delita and new Alma tech as well.

The end of month event is FF VIII again (July 31st)
Squall's the feature this time, but Edea, Ultimecia & Selphie all get focus as well. :siren:

NEW 5* WITCH SKILL (6* Ice Witch is likely for the Magicite fights and Edea, so is this a... Wind Witch for Ultimecia?)

August opens with FF IV (Aug 3rd)
Yang & Ursula are the headliners, but Cid and Tellah get things too! NEW 5* MONK SKILL (Both are Earth Monks - could this at long last be an Earth counterpart to Fires Within?)

Then it's :siren:

FF XI (Aug 10th)

Lilisette finally dances her way into FFRK. Ayame, Curilla, and Prishe are also slated to get some spotlight attention. NEW 5* SAMURAI SKILL (It's probably the Ice counterpart of the 5-hit Fire skill we're getting in the next X event.)

There'll be a new Purgatory multiplayer, the beginning of the Anniversary festivities with another gimmick Cagnazzo, the monthly Crystal Tower, Record Dungeons make it to Tactics at last, T0 Torment will be Nox Suzaku, and the 5* Wind Magicite are Typhon and Slydra!

Plus some QoL updates: you can upgrade relics without leveling them to cap first, you can sort your Vault, and

Free Relic Draw Renewal (13 July)
- After the renewal, allowable attempts per day will be reduced from 3 to 1
- Banner rate will be improved, 5* rates will increase
- Further information will be released on 11th July through in-game announcement

Wait, what? Krile's cat-ear hood has become somewhat iconic for healing in the series and she's not a healer?

The fact that Devout (Core) has a cat-ear hood and the extreme chance that there could be Krile (XIV) who has only ever worn the cat-ear hood might be reasons they didn't go that route for her in FFRK.

Record Spheres are gated solely by the amount of motes you pick up. Amusingly, it's the 3* motes that are the real bottleneck now, since there's no renewable source to grind them. 4* motes can be farmed if desired on the appropriate days. I guess you may want to prioritize your relic crew early on but there's not a real pressing reason to hold back, either. I'm not sure where the break-point is, but I know someone worked it out at some prior point that it was possible to have every character fully record dived in JP assuming buying the monthly 3* motes from the Gysahl store as well.

It's the Legend Spheres that are in much more limited supply, since 5* motes are still on drip-feed from stuff like Crystal Tower and the new Torments and such (get those Jump Starts before they're gone!)

Is witch good now

Abyssal Shards and Hell Thunder's overall potencies were bumped to 12x (compared to Chain Blizzaga and Chain Thundaga's 11.8x). As long as you can mitigate the longer casting time, Witch is stronger and deals more hits than the equivalent Black Magic. It's good, it's just limited in who can even use it (Matoya, Edea, Shantotto are the most notable, but Rinoa, Lulu, Ysayle, and Rapha are also well-equipped to take advantage of the abilities. Cloud of Darkness, Ultimecia, and Tyro aren't focused in that direction, and Meia and Nabaat won't be able to use 6* Witch because they have to dive to 5*.)

Managed it first time without diving Tifa. Still might dive her anyway for a more reliable clear. Are we getting a better earth monk skill then meteor crush anytime soon or am I better off making a second copy of gaia rush for now?

Right now, if you can get the rubies from the Torments (the lower levels, at least), you can buy Ironfist Earth; it's a 5-hit Monk skill that ramps up the damage over uses of the ability (starting at 0.80x potency per hit and ending up at 0.94x potency per hit). Further on (like... 3-5 months?) there'll be an Earth clone of Fires Within.

# ¿ Sep 9, 2018 00:15

Okay, so! Livestream happened!
Will try to just sum it all up, but:

Q&A)
When will we get 6* Dark Matter?
They apologize, but at the time they introduced Reforging, they though they'd have 6* Dark Matter, but have since decided that's not the direction they want to go. No 6* Dark Matter.
Can all Dailies be fully opened on every Sunday or at least 1 day a week?
They'll adjust rates after 4th anniversary, probably (in response to viewer demand) making Greens more common.
Can we have more 6* abilities in the Ruby Shop?
They said not to be hasty, but they did guarantee that Chain Blizzaja is coming; they're just not sure when since they missed the window of "the ice abilities".

There was a vote for how many people wanted Full Throttle (the Jump Start dungeons) back - overwhelming majority said yes. They'll see about it.

New systems!

First up, the Magia Crystals.

Beginning the 12th, level 99 characters can earn experience points that go towards Magia levels - each level gives a point to spend on one of 12 crystals with 2 options per crystal per point. All the elemental crystals (Fire~Dark) can either increase the character's damage with the element or reduce damage taken from that element. The Power crystal boosts ATK and/or DEF. The Black crystal boosts MAG and/or RES. The White crystal boosts MND and/or HP.
You can reallocate all accumulated points on a character every 14 days. You can put 100 points in each side of each crystal (cap to be raised later).

Second, the Legendary Weapons!

So basically the gist of this is, there'll be a new menu option with 12 different chambers - one for each "common" weapon type - and within is a weapon of that type all 17 main realms (I-XV, Tactics, Type-0). You redeem a key (not explained how you get the keys) for a weapon. That weapon is an 8* relic that can be increased up to 50 levels - but to power it up, you need to use Rainbow Crystals. You can get Rainbow Crystals by exchanging relics and Rosetta Stones. There will be an option to automatically sell or redeem 1-4* relics for Rainbow Crystals as you acquire them. Now, what's special about these Legendary Weapons besides their level - they have OMNIBOOST (ALL ELEMENTS + NON-ELEMENTAL)... but only in realm synergy! And you can only have one copy per weapon type per realm, of course - no doubling up on V Swords.

The latest Record Keeper soundtrack will be on sale on the 26th.

On to the 4th Anniversary itself

There will be a boss event - History Institute "At the deepest area lies a Clown that heralds destruction"
There will be a mythril dungeon with a 30 mythril prize
There will be a ticket Orbfest - 5 tickets a day
There will be a Record Dungeon Special Selection

There will be a free Tyro AOSB, Shield of Light

There will be a Jump Rope minigame - get 40 jumps in a row to win equipment.
There will be a Full Open on Daily Dungeons during the anniversary

There will be special realm dungeons with missions

There will be Dimensional Shinryuu and Dimensional Omega: prize of a 6* Accessory with Moderate Fire/Ice/Water Resist
There will be a log-in present of 5* Spellblade: Freezing Quadstrike
There will be daily Twitter stamina refresh

There will be SIX (6) Dream Selects: BSB, Glint, LMR, OSB, AOSB, and USB

There will be a free 40-draw after solving this quiz!

And finally: a look at the new soul break type debuting this Anniversary:

Awakening Arcane Overstrike Soul Break

Tidus's Zanarkand Abes Uniform [AASB "Revived Dream", +10 ATK] - 15 single-target Water/NE ranged physical attacks, En-Water & Sharpshooter Awakening Mode to user
Sharpshooter Awakening Mode: Unlimited Sharpshooter Hones, Dualcast Sharpshooter, Sharpshooter Damage +30%, Damage Cap Raised to 19999, chases 3 Sharpshooter abilities with single-target Water/NE Overflow ranged physical attack

FWIW there's no "O" in there. The entry doesn't deal overflow damage, just the chase. If we added O to all the USBs with chase/finisher/command overflows it'd get very confusing in Japan where AOSBs are actually UOSBs.

Fair enough, I just used SolitaireD's first transcription from during the livestream.

And speaking of, to elucidate more on the new systems at play:

SolitaireD posted:

Magia Crystal
Releasing on 12th September, this is a new system for strengthening characters.

Every character has a Magia Crystal, but its potential can only be unlocked when the character reach Level 99.

There are 12 Magia Crystals, each provide an Offensive & Defensive Boost.

Fire Magia Crystal: Fire Boost / Fire Resistance
Ice Magia Crystal: Ice Boost / Ice Resistance
Lightning Magia Crystal: Lightning Boost / Lightning Resistance
Earth Magia Crystal: Earth Boost / Earth Resistance
Wind Magia Crystal: Wind Boost / Wind Resistance
Water Magia Crystal: Water Boost / Water Resistance
Holy Magia Crystal: Holy Boost / Holy Resistance
Dark Magia Crystal: Dark Boost / Dark Resistance
Poison Magia Crystal: Poison Boost / Poison Resistance
Power Magia Crystal: ATK Boost / DEF Boost
Black Magia Crystal: MAG Boost / RES Boost
White Magia Crystal: MND Boost / HP Boost

Upon reaching level 99, a character can start to earn Magia EXP.
Clearing a battle gives 1 Magia EXP, cumulate enough Magia EXP to gain 1 Magia Point.
Magia Points can be used on Magia Crystals.

You can allocate a maximum of 100 Magia Points to each Boost, ie. 100 to Fire Boost & 100 to Fire Resistance.
100 point cap will be increased in the future.

You can reset your Magia Point distribution through a button at the top right.
However there will be a 14-day cooldown period before you can reset the character's point distribution again.

SolitaireD posted:

Legendary Weapon
This system will be released on 18th September.

Legendary Weapons are 8* relics with a maximum level of 50.
They also have Realm Synergy minor boost to all elements and non-elemental damage.

A new menu option "Sacred Castle" will be added to the game.
Clear Volume 5 of the Acolyte Archives to unlock this function.

Inside the Sacred Castle lies 12 Chambers:
- Dagger
- Sword
- Fist
- Rod
- Thrown
- Whip
- Axe/Hammer
- Bow/Gun
- Instrument
- Stave/Book
- Spear
- Katana

Inside each Chamber are various Legendary Weapons that you can obtain.
You will need to use a "Legendary Lithograph" to redeem a Legendary Weapon.
Events will now periodically award Legendary Lithographs.

To level a Legendary Weapon, you need to feed it with a new material called "Rainbow Crystal".
There will be another new menu option for you to make them.
Expend Rosetta Stone & relics (accessory is not applicable) to gain forging points.
Earn enough forging points to make a Rainbow Crystal.
The rarer the relic, the more point it provide.
1* ~ 4* relics all give the same amount of points.
For augmented equipment, each extra augment point will give the same amount of points as a Rosetta Stone.

- L1 8* Sword has 170 ATK, L35 has 243 ATK, L50 has 275 ATK
- 1* ~ 4* Relic gives 300 Points, 5* Relic (SB/SSB) gives 3000 Points
- 2000 Points to make 1 Rainbow Crystal
- 10 Rainbow Crystals will go L1>35
- Together with Legendary Weapon implementation, battle logic for ATK/MAG/SUM damage will be improved

Few more QoLs are also planned alongside this system.

On 18th September, a menu will automatically appear after doing relic draws that lets your directly sell your 1* ~ 4* relics, or turn them into Rainbow Crystals.

In late October, the Archives will have a history log to record all the equipment you have drawn.
Feel free to shatter/sell your relics ahead of this QoL, as they will still be in the log when it is implemented.

Current Legendary Weapons will provide realm-locked damage boosts.
Later on in the game, there will be new additional Legendary Weapons that will provide single elemental boost instead.
Those will be helpful for dungeons like Magicite where you don't have synergy.

For JP:

Maintenance on September 12th:
- Magia System

Maintenance on September 18th:
- Legendary Weapon
- ATK/MAG/SUM softcap increment
- You can select up to 20 items in one go
- Skip Relic Draw animation
- Automatically sell 1~4* relics
- Present Box items will now be sorted by Expiry Date

SUM being listed separately might just mean that the minimum damage is being upped, and White Magic should be boosted, too, since BLK/WHT/SUM all use the same damage formula (with MND subbed for MAG on WHT).
We won't know the new softcaps until then, though.

# ¿ Sep 11, 2018 09:35

Hogama: Sep 3, 2011

So uh...

How about that Octopath Traveler?

Datamining shows that Primrose's Necklace is a +MAG, Dark Resist accessory, we get Octopath Traveler -Main Theme- as a music record, and there's 2 Souls of a Hero, 2 Memory Crystals, 2 Memory Crystal IIs, and 2 Memory Crystal IIIs as rewards in the event. Also multiplayer battles.

Hogama: Sep 3, 2011

Freya's USB1 entry effect is a -50% DEF/RES breakdown, so it's like a single-target Crushing Tango. Enelement and the Jump Quick Cast means she'd probably like to be using the Cyclone Bolt/Aerial Dive (or Sky High if you can spare the hones) combo for damage, though if you're using her as a breaker you might still want her dancing to reduce incoming damage.

# ¿ Sep 16, 2018 04:19

Hogama: Sep 3, 2011

Lots of fodder from datamining in JP. Mostly it's on Record Dungeons stuff - LMs have been found for Biggs, Wedge, and Dr. Mog; respective LM2s are a Trance, Dualcast Wind, and Dualcast Black Magic and Summoning. We already know from an earlier game update that Biggs has Heavy and Knight at 5* and Wedge has Thief and Celerity at 5*.

Also story stuff.

There's also the new softcaps - what happened was that the current ones were left in place, but the new ones are secondary softcaps with a new scaling between the old ones and the new ones. So basically, it's still diminishing returns, but they're a lot less severe before reaching the secondary caps.

The exact value of the 2nd softcaps are:
~1297.90 ATK
