Final Fantasy: Record Keeper 2016 Advancilate Twins

[Alkar]

very nice. this is the first XIV event since I came back (I think?) so I don't have anyone leveled, or even their MC1s. but I have been putting a ton of time into FFXIV itself lately. between that and the banner quality I am beyond excited for this one! Alphinaud's BSB I am really hoping for; he grows on you so much as a character through the Heavensward arc. at least he did for me. he begins to show a significant amount of maturity and personal growth, although he needs to drop the martyr shit and get over himself a little (see:

Spoiler: show

the scene where he "disbands" the Crystal Braves, but they still support him and he keeps being all "oh I am not worth of ur appreciation guyz"

Hope you have some 4* motes left, you'll need to dive him a bit to make him great. He's ok without but 4* Black/White+ Summon 5* isn't that hot these days.

Bleh, I forgot about that. I haven't 4* dived anyone yet, but I also haven't done any mote dungeons. So if I pull it, I'll have some work to do!

Something I never thought much about as a kid: FFVI has a weird bestiary. Why am I fighting/being attacked by women named "Misty" who smoke two foot long cigars while wearing evening gowns?

One of the game's main antagonists is womanizing octopus with an allergy-suffering blobmonster as a friend, so...

If memory serves, you first encounter that enemy type in Zozo, which is basically a nest of criminals. Realistically, she's probably supposed to be a courtesan of some sort. A mix of Nintendo censorship and Woolsey translations probably won us the Misty name, though.

[Ratatapa]

Lots of censhored ship happened, even in other games but yeah

Getting a constant reminder of why i hated that fucking Caius fight the last time around.

[Teryu]

Yeah it was extreme bullshit, but i *think* shellga "cures" the resist reduction to keep him from 1 shotting you.

Ultimate battles format has been changed now in JP, starting from the Tidus event: Ultimate (/w MC3), Ultimate ++ (CM), Ruin + (new tier recently added in Multi). Rewards have been adjusted accordingly with Ruin+ handing out 5 Rosetta stones and overall more orbs/crystals.

Shellga doesn't change the resist reduction but it makes it harder to be killed. The debuff ID is the same as Celes's default RES up so that will counter and be countered by it, as well as garnet's RES up from divine guardian.

This, and also, using an atk/mag dual break SB will replace his +20% atk/mag buff from body and soul with a debuff effectively turning +20% ATK/MAG into -20% or 25%, though do keep in mind the reverse holds true as well in that body and soul will overwrite atk/mag dual breaks if he decides to use it again.

[Alkar]

Yay more mythril!

didn't see that eagle eye shot coming

Regarding the Record Sphere stuff, I'm kind of getting that you spend motes on small stat increases and to unlock abilities you otherwise couldn't use. Couple of questions:

- Does going down one path lock you into it, or can you jump around between job classes?

- Seeing a lot of OK Mote talk here, with people trying to reach a certain number of motes. How many do I want/need, and why?

You can do all path np'
3* motes are easy getting but 4* are rarer do you need to plan who to use 4* motes on

OK motes are needed to unlock the first sphere level of each class for onion knight

You need 12 total, but you get 5 by doing cid missions

So you need to farm 7 ( or 6 if you're strong enough to do ultimate +)

Thanks, didn't realize they were just to unlock the first level. That clarifies a lot. I got nine so far - guess I should get OK past 65 - but he's a bitch to keep alive in XP dungeons, and I've been throwing XP eggs at Ramza, Cloud and Palom - and maybe Zell soon.

[Kirbyprime]

OK is complete shit before 93 and close to unlevelable until 95. If you have the resources to, just exp bomb him to 99. Of course, this is only assuming you got one of his relics. Otherwise there's no immediate reason to level him at the moment.

He's pretty useful in Cm even without his relic

But you wouldn't know about it mr I got his relics

And what a fitting introduction to the new SP event difficulty tier with a ruin+ boss that spams a damaging AoE that both dispels + stops, smh...

Just back row him with an EXP materia and have someone else tackle dragons. If you didn't get relics, the best thing to do with OK is to unlock Support, Celerity, and mage paths. Unless you plan on A-teaming him having combat is only good for SB spam and sage is unnecessary unless you're min-maxing. Celerity 5* gives you access to Ninja 5*, and Support 5* gives you Full Break.

Up to 143 mythril after catching up 100% ( including logins MO and squall event)

Resisting the urge to pull tonight
