I fought that asshole too. One Noctis had 100% evade and they killed my only mage early on so I just had Chiz use her evade skill and tried to outlast him. I made it to turn 9 then he fire flasked and I lost instantly (because somehow the statuses hit even if the damage doesn't). I hate arena so much.
 
So I really overfarmed this mana event, as it turns out. Bought everything except the bow, whip, and those crappy MP+5%DEF/SPR materia. Even bought Randi's materia despite not getting him in my pulls, just as a reminder of the pain.

I'll still probably keep at it throughout the day and stock up on extras of 6* materials.

Going for 2 Leons on this banner, wouldn't mind an emporer though. Guy, while having a nice TM, I won't pull for unless I get him while trying to get 2 Leons.

Fuck, I just realized that Leon is the 4* base, not Guy.

Well, nuts.
I'm thinking I may just buy his materia. I'm kicking myself for not getting Sevens who, of course, I pulled after the damn event. Ya never know.

Anyone else notice that the FF2 unit banner (not the exploration event itself) is unusually short?

Per the news screen, the banner ends at whenever "start of maintenance" is next Wednesday.

That's the second thing that is ending early at "start of maintenance" next week. What is going on that is going to be so important? Major client version update? Or perhaps.... maybe.... nope, nope, nope. Not going to jinx the remote possibility by even mentioning it could happen, even if the logic fits.

Orlandu and Eileen on the same banner, yeah I said it fuck it.

I wanted to take the time to thank all of you for adding me to friends. Thanks to your high level help I've gotten so much cool stuff. Shout out to Noctis and Xion. You guys made it possible for me to get my ExDeath from 3 star to 6 star. He's still a bit week since I'm rank 23 though hehe

Mistake on the date.

But since this week isn't it, next week will be the missions, trial, etc. So it will be another client update. It will also include the data for the next to King events, Orlandu and Zero2

Zero P2 should be starting next week on Friday
New quests and trial on Thursday

I'm not buying the "mistake" theory, as that specific timeframe has been used twice now.

I do agree with the rest of what you are saying, though.

There's another reason for this somewhere.

If my crazy tin-foil hat conspiracy theory is correct, it will be almost as good as that.


Now, if that is not a mistake, there are only two realistic possibilities for this occurring.

1) Changing of the banners to end on maintenance instead of End-of-Day Thursdays. (This doesn't make sense at all personally. AND the FF2 exploration event ends at the normal expected End-of-Day Thursday timeframe the following week).

**or**

2) IWantToBelieve.jpg

If the crystal change actually happens how will we know for sure? As I recall they didn't announce it when the rates were normalized.

Yes, they didn't think it through. There will be nothing special. Maybe Lasswell 6* or something.

Gumi doesn't think a **lot** of things through in this game. That said, I seriously doubt that gachas are one of the things they don't think (and plan) about constantly. It's their business model after all.

We shall see, though.

You got me thinking on that one.

To answer your question directly, they won't unless they decided to make a patch note somewhere about this. Given that Gumi didn't when 3*s were normalized, precedent would suggest that they won't when 4 and 5*s are normalized either. Either way, they surely won't advertise either possibility until the downtime when the change happens at the very earliest. It would be bad for business, otherwise.

Conjecture time.... what if, somewhere down the road, Gumi continues the process on Global of gradual normalization? What if Global enters into a situation where 3 and 4*s are normalized, but not 5*s? I suppose it's possible, but would Gumi really be ballsy enough to do this?
 
So JP event went this week got canned temporarily because of connection errors. The special summon with star quartz, and the role separate summon did too.

At least enhancements are available. Emperor is pretty fucking nuts now, lol. Like legit nuts. Tidus is pretty great as well. 720% Quick Trick is sick!

I want to enhance Tidus but it would be smarter to save all my precious materials for the eventual op as hell Orlandu enhancement.

Since it will be the next major content block, they could be updating it with the recent JPN Features too. I would not be surprised if they are expanding the game.

They could also be switching the Gacha changes to Thursday.

But I said, there isn't going to be a special gacha.

I would also say, if they normalize the Rainbow, they will announce since people will spend more then.

And on the finale side note, I feel like Wilhem is more likely to get moved up to replace Marie on the Shine and other thing banner than Eileen. He's already pretty normalized without breaking the game. Gumi has been pretty good at breaking apart the banners.

For those that often have FFBE running on their PC for TM macros, consider recording a quick macro for arena too! Since I do the same thing every time (though it'll probably have to change per week) I just hit play when it's my turn and it does it by itself. Maybe I'm just lazy but it's pretty sweet.

Don't really need to save that much considering they usually do these story events so you can get the materials. It's just unfortunate that this story event was buggy so they had to postpone it.

That said, I'm definitely gonna upgrade Tidus because he has more niches he can fill that Orlandu can't. In addition, if Orlandu's enhancements are similar to Eileen's, Tidus can probably deal a bit more damage with Quick Trick in exchange for it being a bit more finicky to chain.

I actually never had a problem chaining quick trick. Tidus was in my arena team and my go to was chaining quick trick with Amelia's disorder. I recently switched over to a status inflicting team with Setzer and 2 Amelia's with Ricosie(30% stop AOE) and it's been working wonders. Anyhow I might just upgrade Tidus quick trick and sword passive since I haven't done any upgrade since Agrias.

I stopped doing 1/2 daily pulls because when you keep getting Rakshasa and crap, you find it better to keep your Lapis. I will be pulling come FF2 banner, at least on dailies. Unsure about how to go about it ticket wise, yet. I would like to hope I can get a Leon. That TM would be sweet for Luneth.

Type: Special Ability (Passive)

Effect: Increase ATK (30%) when equipped with a sword and (20%) when equipped with a heavy armor

A Sword or heavy armour.

Question to be seen, does it work to both S & HA same time or only another one?

I think the description is correct.

If it is written as Sword and Heavy Armor, then you need to equip both to gain the bonus.

Sword or Heavy Armor means you'll gain the bonus equipping 1 or both.

Damn it, they changed the order of the bundles and I clicked the 500 lapis one instead of the 250 lapis one. Could have been worse but ughh, annoying.

Yup, would be kinda weird to Gumi nerf it :).
 
Pulled Shadow, awakened Firion...

Is the event available yet? I got the pop-up about it but it's not in my Vortex. I use the Amazon version so maybe I need to update or it's just not there yet?

Edit: guess I had the dates wrong in my head.

Yeah. But it's Gumi we're talking about. They can do whatever they want lol.

I don't see a FFII banner for increased chance of pulling those characters?

Not today. It's tomorrow. Banners and Events always starts/ends on a Friday. Unit upgrade sometimes on a Thursday.

I see, thanks. At least there's something to look forward to tomorrow.

I have also gotten better at saving up lapis now, and got a 1000 of them yesterday.

He's up as my friend unit if anyone wants to screw with him

Do we have each other as friends? What's your friend code? I would so love to try him out!
 
799 attk Firion -_-

So close

He's up as my friend unit if anyone wants to screw with him

Nice! I'm nowhere near that, but I'm still getting him leveled up. At level 78 at the moment. What gear are you using to get him to 799?

One thing I will say, it is soooooooo refreshing having a unit with a quick attack animation. I've had a main squad with CoD, Lightning, and Yun for a while now, and it is so damn nice to have a dude hop in, slice twice, and get back to their spot with little to no fanfare. So appreciated.
