Should also be noted that in the video they implied GL's Lucky #2 and #3 will have 11x5* or better relics guaranteed unlike JP (with 1 OSB and 1 USB guaranteed respectively). This may be a mistake obviously but it's the only info we have so far.
Best to skip is 2 because OSBs are meh, 1 still has useful USBs and no crap uniques/shared in the pool. Sadly we don't know if what I mentioned about 2/3 is true or just a messy description on their part. It's a gamble now that we can't datamine announcements in advance.
I heard somebody say on reddit that the OSB LD has osb as the highest drops so that one seems firmly in the skip camp for me.
Only 3ish of them even have +element you would need a bunch of luck to get an OSB for a character you have some form of en-element for. Seems like a bad deal overall.
deal OSB is skip then

Fest Banners:
Banner 1 and 3 are my main targets I guess. I want to pull 4, but only thing I reaaaaaaally want is Tidus USB, so may skip it.
They added an extra dupe for my targets, but still gonna pull 1x on banner 1 & 5.
I'm still going for 1 and 5 but they've replaced all BSBs with dupesNo consolation prices there for me. I actually want to land on the LMRs instead lol.
1 and 5 look like they have the least dupes for me but my lightning gear is generally good (+ I have shantotto chain) while Tifa has no real mechanical use to me. She's not needed for any ff7 teams because of Cloud. My Earth teams already have cinque, bartz, ninjas, Gladiolus, Machina and co. The rem brush is what just about everyone already picked on their goddamn alocyte archives so it's a giant fuck you to everyone.
Changes from the JP Banners in case anyone is interested (JP -> Global):
Banner 1 (Slightly worse than JP I think - mainly for losing Seph's +dark katana):
Penelo BSB2 -> Larsa BSB
Celes BSB2 -> Beatrix BSB2
Sephiroth BSB2 -> Raines BSB
Deuce BSB -> Vanille BSB
Banner 2 (Net neutral changes, Bartz USB is old but still solid):
Bartz USB -> Locke USB1
Bartz Fire BSB -> Locke BSB2
Zell BSB2 -> Vivi BSB2
Bartz LMR -> Locke LMR
Banner 3:
Unchanged
Banner 4:
Unchanged
Banner 5 (Net neutral. Tifa's average at best BSB getting nixed for Maria's is nice.):
Tifa BSB -> Maria BSB
Selphie BSB2 -> Relm BSB
They've done a lot better the last 2 fests not changing banners for dramatically worse offerings like before. That said, some of their picks are puzzling even if sidegrades, because they either have realm events that just ended (Locke) or loaded stuff (Banner 1 is the main culprit here) that was in the selection draws, AA, or very popular chase items.
Well, shit. Banner 1 was amazing for me, was really hoping they wouldn't change it too much. But taking out Penelo, Seph, and Deuce BSB's those are all dupes for me now. Have 250 mythril saved for that banner and now I know I'll be swimming in BSB dupes by the end of it.
Banner 1 gets much better for me. Banner 2 gets much objectively worse (bartz usb 1 to locke usb1? really?). No opinion on rest...

Glad they changed it, hopefully GL gets this early.
The banners that I "need" to be pulling on are unfairly weighted towards the first two banners. I'm starting to suspect that I should be saving up for Laguna ice chain once banner 3 hits.
The banner #1 swaps didn't affect me much. Go from 4 dupes to 3. Will do a pull and see if I feel the itch for a 2nd pull.
May try a pull for fire chain on #2.
Don't care much about #3. Chose Aerith BSB2 from the Wondrous dream draw select.
Not even sure about the others. I'll see how my mithril is after the first 2 banners + whatever luckys I pull on.
Bah, as someone chasing Chicken Knife, it's removal changes everything for me... now I have to set aside mythril for the V event.
Well this one was what again?
I got emperor bsb and rydia bsb1 ( dupe)
