This Mog King event is much better for me than the last one so far.

On day 1 I got Orlandu in only 4 pulls and already ran into 4 groups of 3 chocobos, mainly red ones.

Bought all Gigantuars to get Orlandu to 100.
Almost have all tickets already.

Minfilia is better than Marie? If so, I won't prioritize leveling her. Just dumped practically all of the MOG King Gigas into Y'shtola and Greg, and I'll be devoting all NRG to the event, so no one's getting leveled for another while.

I personally don't mind dumping all my eggs into the landu basket, since he's easily my most desired unit in the game. Dat sprite! Bought 5 cheap tickets and tried again, no luck.
No, no, not what I meant. They both have their plus and minus, like Marie has innate dual cast while Minfilia doesnt for example. It's just that they have similarities and if you didn't get to pull Marie, at least Minfilia was there up for free to grab. I'll still level both.

I meant that in a way that I wasn't so excited to have pulled Marie when I found out about Minfilia.

Yep, she has fallen so behind now, it's even worse in JP, all we can hope is either a second batch of enhancements for her or a miraculous 7*.
Yes hopefully or else all she'll be good for is the arena.

And BTW great post about your plan Kourio, I also saved it since I have pretty much the same mindset right now, a very good strategy.

I will keep looking at your post when I have the itch to pull on something else.

For people who missed it, great advice there:

Ok, with my 5k Lapis and 35 tickets I got a new plan.

Skip Aileen, not even trying with dailies (easy since I almost never do dailies)
Only use tickets for Setzer/Rikku/Ashe/Rasler.
If, by some miracle, we get the Dragon Quest event, dailies for Liquid Metal Slime/Orochi. tickets if I got neither (would be sad since the event last 1 whole month)
Tickets again for Earth Veritas/Victoria banner.

Blow everything at the Onion Knight banner.
Now let's hope we'll get a lot of tickets for the next 4/5 months, bookmarked this post so I have clear objectives.

Possible 5* I might get with this (but I don't count on it)
Gumi pls

Dragonlord
Trance Terra
Tidus
Balthier
Dark Veritas

Wanted Orlandu so badly as a f2p player. I was losing interest in the game, so I used up my 150 tickets...

Got Ramza and Dark Fina. I guess I can't complain, but they aren't really game breakers... they are my two first rainbow pulls.

Ramza is a better get than Orlandu in the long term. There will be a ton of characters that are equal or better to Orlandu overall but there's only one character that can come close to Ramza as a buffer. Ramza will straight up break things with his buff.

"ugh troll orlandeau!"

Just doesn't have that new car smell anymore!

Curious to see how the new esper and summoners will affect the buffers meta.

Who's that Shouta?
 
Orlandeau get! Now I know I tempted fate. And since someone asked, in the interests of transparency, here's what it took:

10 tickets (got all the bonus units);
5000 lapis I already had - which I topped off for a 10+1 pull featuring Soleil and Rain's bro Lawrence.

At that point, I figured I'd empty out my Amazon account on my PC. I spent $41 to get coins, did a 10+1 pull, and got nothing of note besides Gaff and Sazh (and I'm actually not complaining about Sazh).

At that point, I bought another top-off to get to 5300, did my final pull of the evening, and... TGC.

So, I guess it really was about $50, which is about what I budgeted. Since I got $35 in birthday money today, I'm willing to say that Orlandu was worth $15. Now, it's time to save, save, save.

As well as bleed this FFT event dry.

Quick question. Once I've gotten everyone to max level, my goal is to awaken them. What do I do to keep progressing? Farm mats for items? I'm confused on the progression in this game and how I get stronger and the tangible things I need to do.

Yeah, the raid really made me realise how good Ramza is, and he's not even enhanced yet. As content gets harder it seems to be getting trickier having my white mage cast buffs, and I really notice the difference when I don't have buffs up. He's become a staple in my team already.

Ugh.. ff9
Gross art style, never liked the game. Can't stand chibi big head. Aesthetically the worst FF imo. Also, worst mechanics for a limit break in an FF game. Many things wrong with it. Guess people must like it for the story lol

I agree on the art style of the game. At least the characters. Everything else though was fantastic.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting. I am hyped for Fenrir though.

Who's that Shouta?

Roy - https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/wiki/units/691

He takes a bit longer to get going over Ramza but he's better in the long term because he's basically a buffer and a debuffer when he gets started. He becomes optimal for long fights.

Quick question. Once I've gotten everyone to max level, my goal is to awaken them. What do I do to keep progressing? Farm mats for items? I'm confused on the progression in this game and how I get stronger and the tangible things I need to do.

Correct, after maxing their levels, your next goal is to awaken them to their next star level. You get that through farming up materials, or using the ones you get naturally. After awakening, you need to max their level out again as well but they'll become stronger through better stat gains and more natural skills they learn.

After a character has reached their max star level and max level, then gear is how you'd power them up.

Yeah, the raid really made me realise how good Ramza is, and he's not even enhanced yet. As content gets harder it seems to be getting trickier having my white mage cast buffs, and I really notice the difference when I don't have buffs up. He's become a staple in my team already.

Before ability awakening/enhancements, it's arguably better to use someone that can buff to a lesser degree but can still do other things but once he hits 100% on his buffs, that goes out the window, lol

Shouta making me even more excited for Ramza's enhancements and we won't see those before June x)
Might just share him as my friend unit when that time comes.

Yeah I agree with you. The reason I started using him was because my only two viable buffers are Cecil and Refia. With Cecil it's fairly easy to get Focus up, but after the first turn it becomes a struggle to get Embolden up with Refia in challenging fights. It was fine before, but the difficulty seems to have increased recently with Gilgamesh and Ifrit. I guess whatever works right? Lol.

Thank you. Glad to know I'm on the right path.

Next set of questions. So how do I go about gearing up my characters? What are some actionable things I need to be doing on a day to day basis?

It's good to start with gear you get from towns and the story. You get a baseline from that and you can start building up your arsenal through events. Eventually, you'll get trust master rewards which are usually some of the most powerful gear you can get.

The current Final Fantasy Tactics event has some top tier rewards in regards to...pretty much everything. Best place to get awakening materials, best place to get cactuars for leveling, top tier weapons (katana and holy greatsword). All of this is time limited and should be first and main priority.

Add some strong friends who can carry you through the event and spend the majority of your energy in the event dungeon with as many bonus units in your party as possible.

Looks like the raid is falling to the back burner and the level is going to drop. I think even if it continues to delevel I should just squeak by with Y'shtola. Trust Moogle is looking unlikely however.

Since it's the weekend we can except a push now and for the last day. But yeah Tactics even hurts. I'd like to get this Moogle for real.

I'm going to keep saying this at least once a week: I wish they would just give us 6* Agrias now lol.

Yeah same. I'm at 950k. Wish i could get the moogle but o well. As long as I get Y'Shtola.

Glad I got the moogle this afternoon from the ifrit raid.

Maxed Ling with cactuars from the dunes today, next is Minfilia.

Still hesitating on whom to level next between a 2nd chiz for chaining or Luka or Marie.

Yeah, same here. I have 400k to go. At least during the weekend, I should be able to ensure I don't waste any orbs.

And hell, I just realized that I can switch to ELT since it's the weekend and I have time.

I would have preferred Orlandu ;_;

So now I have Noctis, Luneth, and Ramza


On The Raid Business: The Raid is as good as done for the weekend. Between Mogking and Cactur Dunes, it's 3rd place for time.

Hopefully this raid upgrade comes soon to GL. At least XIV got the char specific moogle upgrade already.

For everyone in team #Norlandu, I'm here to share my pain:

At least I got some new units and enough banner ones to generate lots of currency. #lookatthepositiveside

The FFIX JP banner is the best thing ever. I'm so hype for 6 star Vivi.

Only Quina will remain from the playable characters so we could have a final FFIX banner with:

Quina, Blank, Marcus, Zorn and Thorn...

Uh, I guess we won't have a final FFIX banner.

What do you guys go for when equipping Ling? I went for HP since I don't think spr nor mag affects her buffs/debuffs?

I focus on hp and some mp. Survival edge, soul crown, Minerva Bustier, soluna ring, that hp+15% ring from the last event, hp +15% x3, MP +20%.
