Whats the word on Crushdown? To make or not to make?

General consensus seems to be no.

[theshun]

Are all the 6* basically no?

[Ratatapa]

Meltdown seems like a good spell

[kuronosan]

I kinda want Meltdown. It's so far away though. Without orb conversion or steady crystal supply crafting a 6* seems exceptionally pointless (especially Neo).

The one event where you get a bunch of 6* for Monks, Spellblade, Machinist, etc. is the best influx of 6* orbs thus far.

[Prothescar]

Snowstorm Blade and maybe Meltdown are the only two that are worth it to me. Meltdown is too unique to pass up, and Snowstorm Blade can be run on a character whose SB can potentially go around the 6* ability curse of only having 2 uses.

Tbh they should just bump the base uses of all 6* abilities up to 4 (Bahamut to 2 or 3) and that would make a lot of them more viable

When that event comes out, you should be able to make one of the abilities R2 by breaking down all the extra copies you can get.

THink I might hold on to the rest of my mithril now, I want Balthier's gun really bad and he'd effectively replace Sephiroth for me (stronger SB and it turns Firaga Strike into a mini lifesiphon for Celes, for whom I have SSB) but it comes back on one of the BSSB banners, doesn't it? Got the Shield which is all I really needed, so conflicted on what to do next.

Banner is up in Japan and... yeah. It basically works like a normal banner with 1-3-11 pull options. 97 gem pull included. Also has the relic poll of a normal Lucky banner so it's a huge pass for me. I really hope they change their mind because this is shit.

Yup, really awful banner. When normal event banners have a ~70% chance of a bsb or ssb for every 5* pulled, why take one where that drops to about 20%, and filled with a lot of badly outdated relics?

Not to mention, there was that recent fest banner that featured only SSB medicas. What were they thinking with this one?

100% agree, its like they didn't notice WHY people would pull on the abyss banners, really hope they change it back.

Yep, I got 2 SSBs from that banner and that was worth all the mythril. This is just awful. I think they're trying something new because this is the very first Abyss repeat that had a Lucky Banner before (Black magic didn't have one) but no, just no.
Especially with Cloud's new toy coming soon.

Orbfest for global this weekend.

Yay mythril! (Link is not me)

[kuronosan]

Yay

[Uzor]

Awesome, which orbs?

[Alkar]

Wow, they're dumping 16 MC3 in the Hall of Rites during Golden Week and you get lodes from the special events. Also new SB tier confirmed to be "overflow soul breaks" and it'll allow to break the damage cap on top of being the first natural 6* gear we can get.
Golden week event will feature an Orbfest, special Colosseum fights, special minigame to earn fragments and limited-time gear, special dungeon as part of the Bra Bra collab. Can also earn music to listen whenever you want.

Edit: And Misfortune++ fights will start soon as well. Dark Matter used in Hyper Evolve and can be bought in the Fat Chocobo shop.

[Robertfb]

Fuckton of info up, highlights are, beyond what Alkar posted,

They assure fights WILL NOT be designed with the new SB tier in mind, they don't want it to be required to have
6 star crystals will be way more plentiful soon
New 7 event focuses on Aeriths circumstances of birth and sephiroths schemes, ultimate ++ will be introduced alongside MC3
Weekend orbrush confirmed this weekend for us in latest mvp letter http://m.imgur.com/caDVKRJ
Jp is getting another Romancing Saga collab
"Dark Matter" will be the material for the new equipment break, can only break ++ gear and amount needed depends on gear rarity, can get from greens shop AND drops in dailies, so expect dailies to probably get reset again.

Edit: dark materia is only from greens, they meant can earn greens from dailies and get them from shop, so no daily reset one can dream........ (if they are Krile and of sheep).

[Alkar]

I think Global may see a huge difficulty spike here. We'll likely get this FFVII event before the celebration starts and those 16 MC3s are added. Parade Float anyone?

Maybe, depends all on how fast they catch us up with jp.
