New story dungeons in JP are not bad actually (other than the bugs lol). There isn't much mythril to get but you can acquire crystal waters to increase your character stats by 1 (or 40 for HP) and also recruit Elarra who is surprisingly not a Tyro clone lol. She is full support with White 5, Bard 5, Dancer 5, Summon 5, Black 3 and a decent deafult medica SB. No other relics to acquire for her atm but you can bet there will be some in the upcoming Fest banners.
No signs of the new missions though, wasn't it supposed to launch at the same time?
Announcement for X-Mas fest datamined - it is indeed Superfest1/2 combined.
P1 - Fire: Locke/Krile Chain
P2 - Earth: Ingus Chain, Bartz USB, Galuf USB, Tifa BSB2
P3 - Water/Wind: Tidus/Zack Chain and Cloud USB and Khimari USB
P4 - Ice/Lightning: Kain/Snow Chain
P5 - Dark (and presumably Light): Seymour Chain and Garland OSB.
Fuck, not Galuf's shitty UltraAdd Y'shtola's while you're at it...

P3 is a strong pass for me. I wanna see what else are on the banners doe.
Banner 1 and 4 is interesting for me
Banner 1, 3, 4 for myself.
hmm, banner 2 for bartz USB and banner 4 for kain LCSB are probably my top picks. the latter is probably redundant since i already have shantotto's chain, but it's a new toy for kain how can i say no to that. maybe 3 for a shot at cloud USB if i'm flush with extra mythril, but i don't particularly feel like i need it
All 5 is a nope.
2 pulls going toward FF6 Terra/Celes, 1 pull for xmas lucky #3, and then 3rd Anniversary ahoy!
I've clawed my way up to 150 Mythril along with 128 Stamina. The dual Behemoth fight in the FFXIII event is giving me hell. I may not get the MCIII from that one.
Wait, doesn't Locke's CSB appear in the FF6 banner?Locke and Krile’s new Chain Soul Breaks will make their debut in this Relic Draw.
Are we not getting that until the new year?

Gimpulse drive returns!
They dont mean that they are guaranteeing Cloud or Bartz's USB in this draw, are they?■ Holiday Lucky Relic Draw
This Lucky Relic Draw has three phases in which at least one of the Relics featured in each title are guaranteed in the 11x draw. You can use these half-priced Lucky Relic Draws once and they’re only available for 24 hours.
・Phase 3: 6★ Relics
12:00 AM 12/25 PST to 11:59 PM 12/26 PST
Your chance to get Cloud and Bartz’s Ultra Soul Breaks!
I don't even have 150 mythril atm. I'm guessing at pulling banner 3 and 4. Bartz knife can at least be combined for a giant stat stick so i'm somewhat open to #2 even in a worst case scenario if a dupe happens. Zack/cloud relics would probably help a tad. 4 is to give me a chain other than my shantotto csb for lightning. I don't have much of the other elements anyway.
If they didn't change things around too much this should vaguely give me a shot at some yuffie relics.
Going to do a pull on B1, all in if they throw in Terra USB or OSB and Vivi USB.
