Final Fantasy Record Keeper: Zero Magicite Thirty - A 2018 RNG-dyssey

[Alkar]

Honestly it's weird... there's no mention of these relics being a temporary deal which means you could get them after the event ends (either with LDs or off banner pulls). But if you can't get the characters from the HoR they're totally useless lol.

[Kirin]

Might be worth asking if JP keeps collab relics in the general pool after the fact, or if theyre only there for the event duration.

Like can you still pull the Sword of Mana from the JP 5* pool?

[Alkar]

I'm not sure about Mana but I remember the Logres Collab relics were clearly labeled as temporary and are no longer available.

[Kirin]

Could be a global oversight in not having the *temporary* tag because we've never had that before.

If were not getting the MC's into the HoR, id bet that these keyblade are gone at least until whenever the next KH event is.

[Alkar]

Looking at the datamined dates the FFII event was also pushed back by 3 weeks but everything else is pretty much there where you expect them to be. FFV's godly earth banner drops right before anniversary so you can look at the Anni banners and then decide if you'd rather pull there.
No LDs mined either but there's something weird going on... the Happy gacha banners are left untranslated but we have a datamined date for them, starting with March 9th. No clue what's gonna happen there sadly but at least the 33 relic draw is indeed translated and ready to go alongside everything else for Anniversary. Still no daily missions, Meia and all the other skipped things

[Kirin]

Wasnt the FF1 event marked for mid/late april? Meia was in that one for JP i think.

It was and still is. However Meia's relics are still there with placeholder translated names so idk.

[Yuri-G]

if I haven't played in about a year, is there anything incredibly important I need to know?


as far as I can see it's basically:
- something something Magicite (which tbh I'm just going to ignore until I have time to look into it; I don't expect anyone here to give me a play-by-play of how that whole thing works)
- elemental meta (which was beginning at the time but seems to have blossomed)
- new soul break types
- Shout is no longer god-tier
- new difficulty levels and battle types (jump start, apocalypse)

am I missing anything major?

[kuronosan]

Shout is still good. There are just better ones if you have them.

[Pirian]

Fuck I just spent 40 million converting greater orbs to major. Didn't realize just how much of a gold sink that was going to be, but oh well it's not like I was doing much with it anyways.

[Alkar]

Turns out FFI (the event /w Holy and Dark chains on one banner) drops near the release of the new Holy/Dark magicites. Oh DeNA, I see what you did there!

[hyoton]

Pretty sneaky, dena!

[Robertfb]

I think we won't see daily missions till the cid mission revamp which should come out around May.

Were nightmares and torments around when you played?
Magicites are the equivalent of new gear that gets equipped to the party, not to an individual character. They do good stuff and are farmed from magicite dungeons. Their dungeons are hard and breaks usually don't work well (so supports mostly get relegated to entrusting). You have to level the magicites when you get them which takes massive amounts of exp.
5 star skills got a massive buff and now most of them hit 4x or do very good things. Burst commands are largely supplanted (with some exceptions).
We have new dailies that are much better than the old dailies.
Legend spheres I think are new? An extension of the record sphere system. LSes make characters much more powerful but we have a very limited supply of their motes.
Missions go away at some indefinite point in the future. If you see a CM, do it now.
Shout is still okay.

that's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. thanks! especially the part about 5-star skills; I would have totally overlooked that if someone hadn't told me.

well at least there's that. I thought for sure by now there it would be out-meta'd. I heard there were better hastegas now but I'm glad Shout is still decent.

Oh yeah, you can now farm four star motes but the stamina per mote isn't great. Still better than farming 60 stam dungeons though.
Don't pull on the newcomer banners.
We just had a big update to the dungeons yesterday and now the dungeons are worth much more orbs/etc.
Fest is in a few weeks with new banners etc. The current FFT banner for thunder god cid is good but requires investment to make him shine. (Really that's generally true since most ultras now want you to be using skills, not burst commands).

Oh yeah, if the greens exchange was around in your time, don't use your greens on orbs any more. I mean you can but you're probably better off trading greens for stamina potions (+100 stamina per use) since it's surprisingly hard to get greens nowadays. The mythril is still cool.

Not sure if chain soul breaks were around a year ago either...Anyway, they're pretty helpful for clearing with ele teams.

[Khajit]

The TP generation from hitting weakness also went up. It's not matching lifesiphon/wrath but at the same time it's close enough that if you have some strong 5*+ abilities of a vulnerable element that are well honed you could use those instead sometimes.

[IceSylph]

Wall is available on the higher level dungeons. If it's not you should be able to clear it without Wall (iirc Gordon's Unique is available there, use that one).

Edit: Tyro can't use Keyblades, Sora/Riku and their MCs will NOT be added to the HoR afterwards. Disney sure is protective of their own stuff, even a franchise they barely care about lol.

Where does it say that you won't be able to get them from HoR after the event? That spells doom and gloom to me and screams , "Hey, don't pull. We're never going to update these characters in the future."

It's the "New Event Underway" announcement. Scroll down to the generic Soul/MC section and it's written down there. We don't know if this is the case for JP, they may be trying to avoid potential future issues due to spaghetti code.

Ah, it was in the mined announcement, that's why I couldn't find it at all. Definitely not even doing the 1/2 pull then. Would rather allocate any mythril to characters who are guaranteed to be updated and cared about in the future.

And Sora needs too many relics to be decent.
