yeah i really don't need any healing SBs at this point, that's one category i'm super stacked on... but the temptation of something cool that i'm still missing like rosa USB will probably be enough of a draw to end up wasting the mythril.

Only realm I'm missing a medica is VII. Realms I'm missing BSB+ heals on are II, III (Arc I right?), VII, VIII, XI (2 Lifesiphon-able medicas), and FFT. So I'm not hurting skipping that lucky. I'm guessing this will be BSB only so I won't be hurting if I skip.
So the old mission section is getting overhauled on JP (in before they took Keeper Cid's jerb) into sets of "books" that Dr. Mog just happened to find.
Books will be divided into: "Veterans", which are sets of missions for veteran players that unlock certain dungeons and give 100% free 5* selection relics (they mentioned SG is given for free for completing one).
Dailies (obviously our daily missions)
Events (our usual event CMs)
And finally "Challenge": Missions of extreme difficulty.
Pretty nice for newbies for the first type.
Edit: adding link since they are still translating and its a large AF post and i'm on mobile.

Edit: They mentioned for completing books from veteran section, you get free 3 pulls with G5 AND a selection relic (that are initially uniques only, but upgrade to SSB/BSBs to select from) DAMN! That's a great present for the player base!
Edit2: Yep confirmed, they took Cid's jerb! Cid Missions will disappear and be replaced by this on JP following maint next week. Daily/monthly/event CMs will continue in the new system, rewards are dumped to inbox instead of collecting.
So they finished example list of new missions and for veterans, expect a fuck ton of mythril/orbs/exp eggs (one higher up was 20x Major growth for 99ing Tyro or Cloud) from this when it comes in 6 months.
Plus a bunch of free SB/SSB/BSB pulls/Selections. Freaking insane.
Mission thing is a big update.
It is but apparently the game is bleeding players in JP so it's probably a necessity as well. I really hope the new story content is good, it does sound interesting on paper at least. I'm guessing GL's maintenance isn't that expensive given what we actually get but if JP goes under we're fucked as well.
Some people pointed out that the focus on magicite is what is turning away players. Its not exactly gonna be fun farming 9x a week 4* magicite fights that are hard AF and spam debuffs. Between the story/mission revamp and new Torments, we can finally move away from it being: Magicite: A FFRK spinoff.
Is it? Honest question - I have no idea how FFRK does; it's usually far from the tops of the charts in global but I attribute it to having a gentle gacha compared to other games.
The content I've seen from JP doesn't look like that of a dying game, having played way too many games that died before time - the upcoming mission content is free right?
Yeah content is free, I'm just reporting what well known JP players are saying over on Reddit. The issue isn't really that the game is bleeding players (it's always been like that) but that some of the big JP whales are quitting recently. I really don't think DeNA would develop such huge changes and content for a game they're about to shut down but I think they need to move on from Magicites or make changes for the next tier.
Magicite was one of the big reasons I stopped playing. Super boring doing the same fight over and over and over. That and every event being basically the same, just with different synergy.
Do some of these well known players live in Japan? Because I really hate when people on Reddit think they're the majority.

Yay for petrify resist...
...but ya'll got any more of that blue rock?
I love Hymn of the Fayth and all, but I don't consider it xmas music either. Why can't they ask to use Jeuno's christmas music?
I'm sure we'll get a bunch of new year mythril, considering JP is getting 50ish to celebrate the holidays as well as these accessories (unless they think Global exclusive Stamp = 50 mythril).
The jump start is still grayed out for me!
