Note: Sorry these are going up a little late. I'll start making sure they're up a day or so before the event starts from now on.
Not a veiled attack on Detroit's future NHL teams...but our first (and so far, only?) FFIV: The After Years event!
"I'll get through this...by myself!" - Ceodore
Ceodore, the only son of Cecil and Rosa and crown prince of Baron, is the focus of the event, but we also finally get Holy Dragoon Kain and his OSB that DeNa thought we got weeks ago.

Relics
The problem with IV banners is that they are 1) mage heavy and 2) suffer from being good pulls for 1 or 2 characters, with the others just being "okay". It isn't the banners fault, just the realm in general being Cecil/Kain/Golbez heavy on the good stuff.
We have Kain's OSB and Ceodore's BSB as prizes on the first banner. Kain's is a Lightning/Non attack with a buildup similar to Beatrix's, but with Dragoon attacks, that reaches max potency after 5 ability uses. Ceodore has Holy/Non 8xST hits on entry with a 40% party medica. His commands offer a lot of utility though, with a 25% HP heal on Cmd1 and Esuna on Cmd2.
Yang and Kain's bursts reappear here as well, as does Spoony's MAG/MND faithga.
Banner 2's big prize is Edge's Red Jacket (Insta Haste, Last Stand, and Phys Blink), but we also have Pecil's OSB, Palom/Porom's respecitve BSB's, and Cid's Pentabreak.
Oh, and Bomb Core shenanigans for the perfect junk prize.
You may be better suited waiting for the Rubicante event if you need FFIV stuff, but like the X events this is also a little overtuned for the CM and Ruin fights, so just be aware.
