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

[Alkar]

oh wow, that was unexpected. when do we get a shot at pulling squall's glint?

In 6 months

[Alkar]

MO boss of golden week is Proto-Omega!!!!!!! Woot! Best Omega arrives! Time for constant colossal blows and hate resets!

G33 is 2x G6 and 1 G5 that is either BSB or Glint. Gift set for GW is OSB + BSB + healing BSB, just like what we got for 3rd.

Edit: Goodbye 5 mythril series chance 3 pulls with G5! Hello 11 pull series chance AT 15 FREAKIN MYTHRIL! 255 mythril total for 17x 11 pulls!

Not sure how I feel about that change. While it is a full pull for 15 mythril the guaranteed relic is BSB/LMR and up. Going 1/11 useless LMR is gonna sting even more.....
Also FU DeNA, using FFXI bosses but still no new events for the realm. Same for XIV, these characters are falling into oblivion because you can't update their sets even with fests. Shantotto is pretty much the only exception and she still has a meh USB due to neglecting the Witch school for so long.

At this point i'm wondering if they are treating XI/XIV as collaboration only events, like KH or WoFF or Möbius, because I really don't see why they are working so hard on avoiding the MMOs. Can't be due to unpopularity since XIV is pretty popular still.

Edit: With the new series chance, LDs and such, I think we finally hit a point where you can't pull on all of them, so gonna have to pick and choose.

holy banner coming tomorrow

holy banner coming tomorrow

Orlandeau, Beatrix, Pecil, and Basch, and Ramza are the featured characters.

[Alkar]

Meh banner at best. Half of the USBs are trash.

[Kirin]

It worries me more that for theme banners, there isn't much theme consistency aside from element.

Ice was more of "characters who can use Ice element SB's without actual ice boosts".
Holy is "TGC and some other store brand Holy element characters". At least it has a lot more holy+ gear on it.

I was hoping more for of a 1 chain, 2+ boost weapons, 2+ boost armors, smart LMR selection type banners for full price. These would have been better off half price first draw type banners.

We only have WoL chain for holy and its already on FF1 banner 2, so that's why no chain for holy banner, Dena never has the same big pick on 2 different banners at same time.

Also dark pick up won't have a chain as well per their announcement and will likely be OSB heavy (Dena still has to introduce D. Cecil OSB and CoD OSB).

[Moridam]

easy pass on holy, thanks to the last two FFT events i already have everything remotely close to grand prize territory, lol.

[Alkar]

At this point I'm hoping Water is good, don't care about anything else. I may get my holy fix from FFII/Type-0 anyway.

[Alkar]

Man I keep seeing these 5* magicite clears and Aerith/Elarra USBs everywhere. I really hope I can snatch both next fest alongside some chains
Sucks that we'll need twice the amount of chains for these but at least they won't come out all at once.

[hyoton]

Yeah I'm going on banner 1 for elarra's release. I prefer generic quickast over aerith's anyway. Relm's might work but I want to be safe...
Chain wise I'm going to try to get whatever but I don't have high hopes given I only ended up getting 3 gen 1 chains. Haha.

All in banner 1 here as well! Also Aerith USB2 reoccurs on Seph USB2 banner.

[Alkar]

Banner 1 is such high quality and most of it being new means there's little to no changes there. They'll probably remove TGCid's stuff and most of the BSBs will be swapped around but hopefully it won't be nerfed too much.

[Kirin]

In looking at my elemental options, I think yall have convinced me to pull on the II event for earth stuff especially. Lightning is probably 2nd most needed after that especially for gear boost and LMR's for Ashe/Lightning.

My only reservation, and I know its limited, is +earth weapons seem to be limited to axes and fists, with Meliadoul's one LMR sword. That kind of bums me out as I don't want to be having to use Guy for earth damage.

[Alkar]

Sadly yeah, earth is locked on weird weapons that are super limited but I think most earth based characters can use fists or hammers/axes anyway. There is one other earth sword though (Ingus SSB) but that's not gonna happen until we get to the SSB selection banners.
The only +earth gear worth noting on the II/Type-0 banners are armor pieces, Maria's USB bow has it as well but she's the only mage with bow access that is earth focused. That said if you pull any of the 6*s on these you'll end up using the character anyway, USBs are pretty damn good and Guy has a good Imperil build while dishing out damage.

[hyoton]

Heavy combat gets earth eventually too, so guy becomes quite good.
EDIT: oh wait thats the earth one out. Yeah heavy combats good.

[Athas]

Did I miss an event somewhere or were the new heavy combat abilities not given out as event rewards?

[Athas]

Also - why do I have a rank 1 bahamut that I can't shatter?

We got them early due to Cloud BSB3 in KH, they would have come out in next type 0 event, so we'll get them for free in a few weeks.
