Final Fantasy Record Keeper 2017: Eiko's Record Sphere is a Dead Meme

Are we going to get any kind of draws for specific elements? Like a lucky draw for Fire/Wind/Earth/etc? I have almost no Earth SB's and I'm hurting for Ice too.

I think global is operating under the assumption that we're to receive none of the special "element only" lucky draws that JP has gotten.

[Moridam]

do we even know if/when we're actually getting anything magicite related? or is it just assumed we'll get it after maintenance this week or something?

JP had it drop around the element oriented "super fest" that we should be getting this September. The fest was tailored to help those who need specific elements for magicite dungeons.

Also we won't get light/dark Till part 2 of episode magicite and there is still no bio dungeon on JP.

Well, the XV and XI events were active in JP when they received them from what I remember.

So either they give them to use at the same time, or hold them off a bit until during/after Super Fest to stretch out content. Could also be a reason why IV was moved so far back.

Yeah, upcoming SuperFes banners are your best bet... assuming they don't mess with them too much. Personally gunning for the fire/earth one as those are not well covered for me and I completely missed the earth relics on the XV banner

This so much for me as well. Only Earth relics I have is Tifa BSB and Bartz OSB. Really hoping I get Dorgann BSB and Bartz USB/BSB3 in FF5 banner to remedy this though.

So with magicite, are we basically looking for the passive boosts, or are the skills actually worth using?

[Robertfb]

Had D255 Nemesis solo down to 5% with one cast left of Krile OSB...... Only for the game to lag out on my phone and accidently cast sheepsong....... FML!

Edit: Woooooooooooot! Finally after not beating him for a solid week long ago, finally beat Nemesis boundless solo! Krile was MVP with the OSB spam at the end. No pics since I did this on my shitty phone using data WiFi.

They are worth using. At worst it's free extra damage considering the summons do act even after the inital entry damage/buff so just use whatever helps the most given the current fight. High tier magicites are usually better by default anyway which is why they're locked behind clears and/or 30s clears.

Stamina potions implemented in JP:
-stamina bar is now bigger, looks awful imo.
-max 5 potions can be stored at any time, 100 stamina restored for each use.
-weekly items like the mythril/Majors. You can buy two for 100 greens each and two more for 5k each.

Edit: FFXI confirmed for this week in GL!

[Robertfb]

MVP newsletter confirms FFV after XI and DU on Sep 5. RIP XI pulls.

Also obligatory Wut? At them screwing up Four Hearts as "Four as One".

[Alkar]

RIP indeed lol. Only 2 DUs will feature XI relics and there's no new event coming up in JP :/

I love how people play this game according to JP content.

This is no different then it has always been. I still remember tons of people going: "oh my, gonna pass on "insert old banner here" for when Cloud SSB comes out! It is so OP".

[Tyrath]

The problem with that is that the future OP stuff never stops.

[Alkar]

Well given that JP content=GL content and there's no GL exclusive stuff worth mentioning I don't see the issue. This is not Brave Exvius, we get the same game with slight changes. We also know we're getting less stuff (skipped LDs, skipped collabs, etc.) and options so planning ahead is the bare minimum.
In JP I pulled on XI because I like the characters and had no clue about upcoming stuff, in GL we have the luxury of knowing what's ahead.

In this case the OP stuff is on the very next banner.

[hyoton]

Yeah, the timing just sucks for XI. But am I a big enough jerk to leave aphmau for V?

We get it. You love Japan.

It's minmaxing. Period.

[Alkar]

I see you're in your usual good mood. I've honestly had enough of that attitude, go unload your frustations on someone else.
I'll just try to ignore, I don't think anyone here wants to see more of this shit. The end.
