Coin Exchange 10+1: Trash
Coin Exchange 3*x2: Trash
"Premium" 4-5* 10+1: Trash
3k Step on Healer/Support Banner: Trash

I got played lmao

[DFJS]

Junk from both 10+1 tickets but I did snag a Basch from the first step in the tank/magic banner.

[Aelfinn]

premium 10+1 was 100% gold... feelsbad
regular 10+1 ticket came down rainbow! ... Duke ... feelsbad

the $$ bundles look like a pretty good deal to my naked eye, anyone else get the same feeling off the bat?

[Dimmauk]

Trash from both 10+1, nice way to start Thought we were supposed to get the anniversary tickets today? Guess not.

Same. I am disappoint

[Alkar]

You get 5% Trust moogles from the anniversary tickets so I'd grab those from the exchange over normal ones.

Not particularly, no. If you were going to buy $100 in Lapis, an argument could be made for the $100 bundle since you'd be giving up 3k Lapis for the TMR moogle, 5* ticket, and other tickets, but it just comes across as a wash really. With it being a random 5*, it hurts the value, and with step ups and Lapis becoming more valuable, some would prefer that 3k to the other goodies. It's not so much that it's a bad value, it's just that it's not outstandingly good. For an anniversary bundle, specially after getting the pre-celebration bundles last week that were far and away better than these bundles, they just don't represent that great of an increase in value.

To put it another way, if you find yourself in straight whale territory, then they're worth getting since you'll just buy Lapis when you need it. If you're somewhere in the middle or more towards F2P except when there are good bundles, they're a pretty hard pass IMO.

all the 10+1s resulted in hot garbage

step up yielded x3 Desch

[Teryu]

All the free tickets from today were absolute worthless garbage. I didn't know it was possible to get ripped off by something I got for free, but god damn did GUMI manage to pull it off.

[Coren]

Pulled all the free things, got a pile of free shit plus Basch #3.
Did the 3k pull on all 3 type banners, pile of shit. Step 2 of healer/support was shit. Step 3 was triple rainbow: Ayaka #2, Delita #2, HGLid #2. Phew.

Had to clean inventory, decided to level up a couple random 5* bases with kingtuars. Didn't get a single Great/Amazing. Fused a half-dozen TMR units, all but one was great or amazing. Fuck you, too, RNGesus.

[dasva]

hq 10+1- mostly okish tmr ones that I already have so fusion fodder (though the 3 victorias were kind of annoying considering I already have 2 of her TMR) then rainbow comes down as my 3rd CG Nichol. Whelp guess he's going to be my buffer forever now lol

Coin 10+1 and coin tickets - all fused for trusts lol

[Karbuncle]

Garbage garbage garbage duplicate VoF #3 and more garbage. I expected nothing less.

[Zealot]

Absolute garbage for me, 11 golds from the special ticket, 1 gold and 10 blues from the 3k step up, trash from the 2 10+1 tickets. Garbage garbage garbage.

[Karbuncle]

Both brothers also got 11 Golds + No Rainbows on the 10+1 ticket. Ho-boy anniversary is off to a great start for everyone \o/

There's some attempts at deal analysis over on reddit each time trying to give them a comparison to straight up buying lapis. While these are certainly better than just buying lapis every deal is. I believe all of last cash deals were better than these ones. Most the regular bundles doing about as good or better (except the $.99 one which is great).

From what I remember seeing past months this seems to be lower than normal... but we also just got rather amazing lapis deals recently and fountains of lapis which is top tier in value by far and right now step ups are rather efficient in terms of total rainbows to lapis so lapis sort of has more value to begin with right now if you wanting to do that. And I think these deals expire at the same time so you wont get better before step up ends?

[Zealot]

I bought one of the $25 ones but I think that's it for me.

Not like I'm super hurting for tickets over here.

[Oravis]

Did all the step ups lol Been hoarding lapis forever and needed to get rid of that pulling itch.

Premium Gold 10+1 gave me my third Loren

10+1 with ticket from Coins gave me my third Delita.

Did the Healer/Support step up first. Got nothing from the first two pulls and my first CG Fina from the third.

Magic/Tank got me my first Lulu in the first multi, my fourth Elfreeda in the second and my third Kunshira in the third multi.

Attack got me nothing in the first two multis and my 6th Orlandeau in the third as well as my first Aileen.

That was fairly satisfying I think. I do wish I had gotten a dupe CG Nichol and Ayaka but whatever lol That's what the UoC tickets will be for.

[dasva]

So ah all my rookie quests just reset... and yes I'm getting the rewards again.

Ah yeah do support step up as only have enough lapis for that. First 2 fusing duplicates. Last one CG Fina and Lid. Ah yeah time for my CG waifu team

[arus2001]

Do the magic 3000 and get one gold and 10 fucking blues. fml

First, I realized that I didn't pull Basch #3 earlier, but Balthier #4. I'm actually happier with this (even though he kindof sucks) as his TMR is good for Olive who I expect to be a nice 7*.

Then I pulled the other 4 step-ups that I hadn't pulled already:
Attack#2 was: Olive #5 and Reberta #5
Attack#3 was: ADKain #2, Beatrix #1, and Lunneth #2
Healer/Tank#2 was: Yuna #3
Healer/Tank#3 was: Jiraiya #2
2 5* tickets were: Prishe #4 and Wilhelm #1 (who I was chasing on the tank banner)

All in all, I spent considerably less on these banners than on the Seph banner (39k lapis vs 50k), but with marginally better results.
Final tally was 13 rainbows including a very solid boost to my 7*-ready team (Ayaka, Lid), plus a couple completed STMRs (Balthier and Prishe).

Grats on all the good pulls. I'm glad I'm not the only one that decided the step-up was too good to miss, though good on you for actually hoarding before spending lapis.

[Zealot]

Dark Fina #4 and Wilhelm #3 from the second step. Highly debating if it's worth it to spend 5k on another.
