When nine and nine meet nine,
the depths of reason shall stir.
When the seal of creation is broken,
a voice like thunder shall sound, and thou shalt know -
We have arrived.
"We have arrived!" - Ace "All we've ever known is war. We have so much left to learn." - Deuce "We only take orders from Mother, got it?" - Nine
Akademeia, the shining jewel at the center of the Dominion of Rubrum, was about to fall to the forces of the Militesi Empire, keepers of the White Tiger Crystal. Just when all hope seemed lost, the young cadets of the legendary Class Zero joined the fray.
If you have not played Type-0, you owe it to yourself to pick up the HD PS4 version. Square has made a lot of mistakes over the past generation or so, this is not one of them. In my opinion, really the only FF in a long while (since XII, oddly enough) to have that "FF" feel even though it carries on the techno settings of XIII and XV - which it was originally developed alongside of as part of the Fabula Nova Crystalis series.

Only one banner for this event, and it doesn't even have the Apoc headaches.
Sadly, Japan is only getting the 2nd Type-0 event soon so pulling here for synergy is a mixed bag of getting a head start vs not being able to use it for 6+ months.
Banner 1:
Ace gets a decent USB to start off with 10 fire/non hits, En-fire, a self 30% Mag boost and a chase effect with has a chance to follow up any black magic ability with 1, 2 or 3 additional hits. His burst is an instant physical blink for the party on entry, with Cmd 1 being the usual 4 hit (+1 if frontline - but be warned he is made of paper like his cards) and Cmd 2 a Mag/Res bargain. His SSB is a decent 40% party medica.
Deuce, being the bard of Class Zero, has a support tilt. Her USB is an instant Curaga medica, 40% raise, and a stoneskin effect. Her burst is OK's Atk/Mag boost with a party cura medica with Yshtola Instant/Medica commands. Her "consolation" SSB is still pretty strong with Last Stand, Magic Blink, and High Regen.
Nine is left out of the USB club, and sadly gets a pretty plain BSB. Wind/non on entry with En-wind. Cmd 1 adds potency to 4 hits if the target is weak against wind and Cmd 2 is a 2x AoE hit with Atk/Def bargain. His SSB is a utility Pro/Shellga with a Def boost of 100%.
Legend Materias:
Banner 1 - Ace : 25% for black magic abilities to add physical blink 1.
Banner 1 - Deuce: Status buff duration increased by 30%.
Banner 1 - Nine: 20% chance for jump attacks to add an imperil wind effect.
Speaking of Queen Bae, she is arriving with the next Type 0 event that drops, alongside Rem Bae and "Quit Your Bitching!" Machina.
Seconding as well to play Type 0, it is a beyond amazing game and the story is pretty damn dark, only criticism I had with it was it was sorta slow to get into it but thats about it.
