What's the benefit of pc/fc? Sure pc makes the fc timer 0, but pc is pretty weak. I've found it better to just slot a better skill and wait on fc time.

I was genuinely feeling ready for 0/11 on this pull, even if I have blanked on so many Lucky Draw. I had a stressful last few days so I was still hoping for anything remotely nice, but I told myself that I was not going to let bad luck in this game get me worse tonight and I felt at peace before pulling. Well, the little bit of fun "anxiety" preceding 11 pulls was there.

Then I pull and when I saw that it did not shake, I got filled with real anger, like "lift a fridge and throw it out the window" anger. I am usually just really disappointed and down for a very short time when it happens, or "angry" for a few minutes then I move on. My feelings really took me by surprise and I am not sure why I felt this way, maybe stress + accumulation of in-game disappointments.

Oh and right after my cat took a shit without burying it, those are the worst...

^For all the people questioning why some of us do massive refreshes on Orbfests to hone abilities. This is why. Even with guaranteed 5*s, it's not a guarantee on a BSB or anything.

Disclaimer, I'm at work so I haven't pulled yet.

Indeed.

No SSB/BSB here. However, I did get some II synergy, so that's helpful. The bad aspect of the pull is that I already have Shadow's SSB and Rikku's Flexible Arm so better SBs and RS in both cases. At least it's not another 0/11, so I'm not mad or anything (0/11 Summer pull was extremely disappointing).

I'm really sorry. I've felt that before with this damn game. But LMAO at the end. That sealed it.

I'm so sorry to hear that. A similar thing happened to me during a previous LD. I was having a terrible birthday and the LD hit that night. I had been looking forward to it for weeks and went 0/11, while also emptying my mythril reserve (iirc). It completely ruined the rest of my night. Ever since, I vowed never to let myself get so invested in pulls.

Alright, time to break this streak and get out of my 5/220 11-pull slump!

.......in a way this is kind of impressive.

To add insult to injury I already have at least one ++ of every single one of these 4* items, and two on some of them. I don't think I have the worst RNG luck ever, but it's up there. For perspective I've been playing since October and my total item count including accessories etc is still under 200 items because it's just tons of ++ shit >_>

Thanks! This is just weird and I hate the feeling because it feels like such a non-issue in the big scheme of thing. I guess that it's the only game where I have time to invest these days to disconnect and I see that it can affect me more than I thought. Might be a one off. I really want to hold until guaranteed 5* now. I know that I can get off-banner no SB as my only 5*, but just not being 0/11 every again will be great for a while. My big problem is how much I love Celes and her BSB should be before the change... :/

Seems like the ssb's and bursts available in this celerity lucky are pretty jank. How many stand outs are there?
Click to expand...

I would actually say that there's a lot of fantastic SSB/BSB's on this banner. Vaan's and Tidus' BSB's being the greatest out of all the BSB's and stuff like Ichigeki, Apocalypse and Traitor Bow being other standout SSB's off the top of my head.

Hell, even the standard SB's like Shatterheart from Fran's Killer Bow is probably better than her SSB.

2/11 on Lucky Draw, both dupes. Vaan's Kogaramasu and Edge's Murasame. Have plenty of RS for XII so combined Vaan's. Combined Edge's as well even though my RS is a bit more limited in IV with 1 sword, 1 katana, and 2 spears, and a couple of 4*++ daggers. Oh and Edward's harp which has surprisingly high ATK.

There are some meh ones (e.g. Zidane's), but the majority of the SSB/BSSBs on celerity characters are quite good.

Edge SSB, Shadow SSB, Tidus Burst, and Vaan Burst are probably the best of them.

Yeah that's what I got. How does it work? Being able to avoid 2 physical attacks doesn't really seem that useful in the grand scheme of things... is it just the 8 hits that makes it strong?

The 10ms (i.e. instant) cast time gives it great burst damage potential.

It's instant cast, so if you build up multiple SB gauges and then unleash them all in a row during the boss' weak phase you get absurd burst damage. Congrats, you got one of the best physical SSB in the game!

Really depends. If it gets eaten up by stuff like multi hit attacks, it's jank. If it's stuff like giant AOEs or big hits everything that's mitigated = 1 turn on your healer saved.

As Balphon and Xetherion said, it's not the physical blink that makes it good, but the instant cast time coupled by the fact it's nearly a 800% multiplier makes it the best damaging SSB in the game.

And Shadow can Lifesiphon.

It's really Shadow's only niche. But what a niche.

Not bad, my FFII synergy sucks, my FFXIV synergy is better, but it's still welcome, and Tyro's tome increases his Base attack (and gives him a good synergy item for Nightmare dungeons)

So an upgrade all around basically.

What the fuck, 0/11 too. Serves me right for pulling on this shitty banner (for me at least) but still, we are legion lol

Where the hell is the mobius collaboration anyway?
Click to expand...

If I were to make a guess, it'd be that we'll see it about 60-90 days after Mobius's launch date, if we get it at all (I think we will). Japan didn't get their Mobius event until like six months after it was released, so maybe longer. I think they like to wait until release buzz settles and then do a collaborative promotional campaign to get new customers and lure back old ones.

Haha, yeah. That makes sense now. Now I need to level him up to try it out.

Remember how last lucky draw I got The Ogre and Last Judgement Grimoire? I got them again :lol:

So draw was:
Butterfly Sword (IX) (totally outclassed, not even sure I'll master the SB :( )
The Ogre (IX) (I combined it)
Razzmatazz (X) (guess who is required for a Cid mission I've not done yet...I also have his SSB if I can get two SB bars up this could be fun)
Last Judgment Grimoire (meh, combined, at least Tyro has a powerhouse of a weapon if I ever bother to fight a final nightmare...according to the reddit relic draw poll this was the rarest SSB in the summer draw...or more like nobody wanted to admit to pulling it)

I also finished the FFXII event. I'll sum up Ultimate+. Guilt, guilt, guilt, haha your party is all KOd (S/L and I limped to the finish with three members at critical HP, I suppose +HP relics would have been better than +Atk).

So Japan just unlocked it's last nightmare which means...story happening soon?

Speaking of features what is the ETA on the accessory storage, I'm kind of well over 400 items in storage and don't want to get more slots if most of it will be empty soon.

I bombed on the Lucky Draw as well, but looking at my last few draws, ain't nothing to be mad about.

However, I did note the other day that I have NEVER ONCE received the 4★ FF I sword. My Lukcy Draw came with FOUR 4★s, three of which had to be trashed due to already having two 4★++ of.. and I swear I've gotten enough Royal Crowns to have made four or five 4★++ of. But not once, not never, a Defender.

I was massively confused by the Buster Sword for a moment.
Either way, happy for the FFVII synergy, and getting an SB for Lightning or Zack was basically on my wishlist so I'm pretty good with what I got here.
I already have Locke's Wing Edge but I guess this is a useful 9999 in the event something is resistant to fire and I'm using Locke.
My FFII synergy is rubbish so this is helpful.

Capped all characters, at +45m gold after converting orbs from the first two rounds, I believe the tactics event will drop with one day left in this fest, so I will effort a 20 mythril burn then if I don't get sick of it

I dunno if I'm going to pull on this lucky.

I have Fran's SSB and Shadow's ssb already. All of the normal sb's look pretty tame compared to what I have now. Meh, was looking forward to pulling.

I've been playing this game since it launched and have been lurking in this thread for a long time, figured I should finally post something.

I let my 5yo daughter do the banner pulls for me and she's been a total good luck charm. Got 4/11 on the Lucky Draw:
Orichalcum Dirk (2nd one, she got me the 1st in a 3x draw on the FFXII banner)
Wing Edge
Force Sabre
Kotetsu

She pulled Ramza's Shout sword on the Support Lucky Banner (I'd previously blown 250 mythril chasing it on other banners) along with a All-Rounder, Dream Harp and Sentinel's Grimoire. Plus other good stuff on previous banners.

It'll be tragic when her luck runs out (or when she develops an addiction to f2p gacha games). :p
