For once ffxi showed me some love back. Was prepared to drop 300 tickets and got Lion ex in 40, then her 35 in 5 more. Nothing for Aphmau but I'm sitting on a pile of weapon tokens so I bought her 35.

[Azat]

Grats! 18 tickets in and I got Lions EX.

Which makes perfect sense since I've largely ignored her all this time. She's still lvl 50, clvl 45, no weapons, half mlb armor and I forgot she's one of the cursed 6 so no artifacts for her either lol

Took 9 pulls for Lion ex to show it's face. I shall get back to the beit grind for my own Vjara afterglow in celebration. Dropped a few weapon tokens of amphmau 15 since i've got like 60~ of them collecting dust. Grabbed WoL EX from the ex shop since coop noctis are so retarded that the sight of him makes me rage right now.
since I didn't make it all the way to pity I am now in an extreme powerstone shortage. I currently need at least 16 of them, and up to 28 if I want to make WoL decent. I guess I'm pulling on Sherlotta when she makes her debut for powerstones.

[Karbuncle]

I haven't been on in a bit but I tried to do the EX fight for the Aphmau event and it was still at 50% HP when I had exhausted most of my abilities and this includes both my DPS having their EX's. Its not even like it was a consistent power scale up from the previous non-EX mission lol, It went from "Push Over" to "Game Over" instantly. I'm afraid to do Multiplayer now thinking i'll just be a crutch.

Pretty sure its always been like this but man I forgot.

[Silenka]

Nah Aphmau EX is dumb easy and Aphmau Cosmo is also dumb easy, you just have to play the game and upgrade characters. Having a few meta characters helps too.

If you have that much trouble with Aphmau EX you will have a lot of trouble with the raid EX co-op and Cosmo co-op will probably be impossible. Aphmau or Trick or treat co-op is easy enough even if you bring something underpowered though. This game isn't really designed to be able to just jump in anytime after months of no play and be able to beat stuff.

As far as Lion EX, I'm throwing whatever tickets I can at it but so far no luck

Which characters are Meta these days, Its been months since I've kept up with it, last time I was playing Squall was around Meta. Every character I used was Level 60 with 60/60 on their "Tree", as well as having decent Relic traits. I know they released level 70 Recently though I saw, I also know I should have expected the new character creep to outdate old units lol.

I do jump in from time to time and take advantage of Free or half price summons so I may very well have some good 15/35's laying around for characters I didn't know where Meta.

Lenna
Vayne
Rinoa
Noel
Noctis
Ramza
WoL
Ace
Serah
Quistis
Porom

to name a few. All of them need their EX weapon, which holds true in future as well, with the exception of a few characters like Fran, Aphmau and Freya.

[Silenka]

Well for example I used 70/70 Noctis, Serah and WoL for Aphmau Cosmo and beat it in 52 turns (max to complete is 70). The Cosmos are getting a little bit harder now that we're on the cusp of Chaos difficulty. As far as units you can get now, Serah, Aerith and Ace will continue to be meta into Chaos while Locke and Noct will fall off (arguably Noel too). Relm, Lion and Aphmau are good situationally into the future.

Sherlotta will be super meta, she'll be the next new character. I can't believe we're almost there already...

[Robertfb]

Cloud and Ultimecia will be meta as well next month with EX+ arriving. Maybe also Beatrix if they pull a Sazh 35 and dump her EX+ and LC with Chaos stage next month.

[Khajit]

Sherlotta Ultimecia and Emperor are the next 3 meta characters that will show up. Cosmos gets a bit tough(so I might occasionally resort to 1-2 meta characters or a youtube video), but I can handle at least EX with boosted characters most of the time for the sake of variety.
In my experience you can just get a support character and then go to town with whatever the most recently reworked/released batch of DD you pulled are. If you can go all in on sherlotta, do so. I've been hearing that she was so OP that she's the specific reason why they made the future content counteract her kit as a pseudo nerf to balance her.
EX+ weapons are about to show up which is why EX is starting to be the standard for the tough fights. There's a tier after cosmos incoming which is why you're going to need all the atk you can get. (This also means it's nearly time to get those atk 108s and the 330 mbrv won't be as useful compared to a secondary trait that buffs atk due to how tough it will be to reach max mbrv.)

I was utterly baffled at the idea of the co-op being hard until this morning when I saw a bunch of ultra gimps everywhere in co-op to give me the proper ffxi party experience while i was there with my Vajra having to carry them.

Had a super lucky day yesterday and pulled Serah EX (dupe), Aerith EX and Lion EX within 24 tickets. Can't wait to throw some at Relm EX but it always seems like I have specific lucky days. So glad to nab those, but I'll have to buy Aphmau's 35 from the shop and powerstone it heh ^^;

Very nice! Congrats! Lion EX looks awesome and I didn't even realize the second hit is light skillchain despite seeing it for years until I saw it on Reddit lol.

Also currently have 71k gems, so bring on Sherlotta game!

It's oddly satisfying to use it after prishe howling fist fusion

Well, Beatrix got skipped, so we probably won't see her event reissue until 7 months and LC in 15 months... Kinda hope she is the last GL first since we have to wait extra long for her return compared to JP. Otherwise, yay QoL and Leviathan summon boards.

[Robertfb]

New weapon tiers announced for JP: LD weapons and burst weapons.

LD weapons: give new ability, Squall's is Rough Divide and gives him 3 charges. 5% drop rate, MLB (powerstones) makes them slightly less powerful then MLB EX+. 300 G Tokens to pity.

Burst Weapons: EX style ability. Only 1 use per battle. Gives 6 free turns and restores 1 ability usage, on final turn, can use burst ability. Refills EX instantly. Squall burst is Blasting Zone and did 678k DMG on demonstration video. Drop rate is 3% on +1 of 10+1, 0.1% drop rate otherwise. 500 G tokens to pity.

Edit: Burst Mode is only useable once per quest, that includes everyone. So let's say you roll in with Cloud, Squall, Zidane, all with burst weapons, only one of them can be used once. So you only need 1 burst weapon for a team. Makes this more palatible.

Edit2: drop rate changes: off banners removed from pool, 7.5% drop rate for EX, 5% for LD, 0.1% Burst (3% on +1). Bursts free turns act like using a summon, changes music to respective FF boss music (Squall burst changes music to FF8 boss music).

All EX weapons have been added to EX exchange. EX tokens can now be bought from daily medal event. 2 tokens Max per month, 5 months to buy an EX of choice. Weapon skins in development.

Edit3: Don't dread bursts yet, apparently only main characters and villains will have bursts and a burst exchange shop will be implemented. Can get burst tokens from new difficulty stages (6 Burst tokens per month) and 5 tokens selling dupe bursts (bursts come fully MLB at start, don't need dupes to LB). Bursts cost 50 burst tokens. So LD and EX are the main pull goals.

Edit4: Clarification: New difficulty after Chaos coming in Feb with 3rd anniversary, the new post chaos stage being implemented now is a challenge mode of the chaos fight.

New character with burst coming to heretic on 15th, so it's either: Ceodore, Zenos, Ardyn, or Tactics/T0/CC/WoFF villain rep.

[Robertfb]

New JP characters announced. Desch from FF3 and Ameditelion from CC Crystal Bearers (Yuke villian). Apparently the heretics burst is for an existing character, not a new one. Garland and Ultimecia are not getting bursts yet, new bursts will be middle and end of month events and will be on all event banners until new one.

So Squall Burst will be on both raid banners, Garland LC, Desch Event, etc.

Also if you play JP, the new premium moogle pass (monthly pass with benefits) is free for first use and lasts 30 days. You get 2 moogle tokens (can exchange for 10 burst medals), 5 EX weapon tokens, 4640 gems, 150% exp/smn/character point bonus (stacks with books, synergy, and new rank bonus) and increases event character points obtained from 5k to 10k.

You can, with Max rank, premium pass, synergy, and 3x book, Max out a fresh summon board in 3 runs.

Ah, another month of new characters that don't excite me at all. Still waiting on so many! Iroha, Red XIII, Rikku, Gladio, Sice... I suppose next month will be one of the remaining Type-0s because they can't go very long without rolling one of them out lol. Sucks that my favorite one is the LAST one they put out, right? (remains to be seen, but probable at this point)

Burst weapons are cool, I just hope they don't become necessary to complete content, at least not before the halfway break point when newer difficulties start getting a bit easier. By then everyone should have at least one or two. Just seems like something to show off with and bait whales with though.

Makes me wonder why they still haven't implemented a weapon skin system though. Should be a no-brainer at this point.

They just announced in the infiltration report that weapon skins will be implemented in Feb for 3rd anniversary.

As for bursts, it does look like they won't be required, they mentioned in the report that it's the LD weapons that are essentially the new EX chase weapon. They did mention in CO-ops that everyone can use their burst, so...... Man those 70 CO-ops will be even more one shot lol.

Also agreed, new characters aren't that interesting, although I am ecstatic they are FINALLY adding FF3 characters.

[Silenka]

Oooh, I totally missed that. Awesome! I have to wonder if GL is going to get that system alongside JP...there's really no downside and might get people to spend more money even.

Refia when?

[Khajit]

I have just under 210k gems and plan to pity sherlotta, Arciela, Ultimecia, and Lilisette. Would I have enough gems by the time Arciela comes out even if I had bad luck ?
