So before Sunday evening, we need to finish:
FF9 event
FF9 MP battles
Shadow Lord MP battles
Nemesis boss and guardians
Mythril dungeon
Record Missions
Dungeon Updates while we still have 1/2 stamina.
I still have a tiny twinge of regret whenever my Agrias OSB hits for 75% as much as my friends TGCid OSB and then he can mash them out way faster with TG Mode.

But Agrias is cool.
Console yourself with the knowledge that Agrias' sword is 1 ATK stronger!
I'm certainly happy to have Agrias' OSB (my only physical OSB so far, to go with 2x Terra and 1x Ashe swords), though clearly I would like to have Orlandeau's. Still, there's another shot at it coming up, and Agrias' doesn't come back as far as I can tell.
Realm and elite dungeons done. Mote dungeons done. Now I wait for mythril like everyone else.
On the one hand, I'm glad I got to utilize half stamina dungeons to finish it all up. One less thing to worry about. On the other hand, it was always nice to know I had some extra mythril to tap into in a pinch.

Is it? That's it, I'm combining my two Orlandu OSB swords.

6* items are crazy. My Agrias OSB with 30 Rosetta stones has 199 ATK, which is as much as some of my older synergy items. It'd be 217 if it was 8*.

100 gem got me Reynn's SSB. I'm very tempted to pull for her burst. I've noticed lately that ice is the one element I'm lacking in ways to hit.
This is such a shitty event. Was this seriously the only thing going on in Japan for a whole week?
*checkes schedule*
NOPE.
It started a few days after the FF6 event we had during the anniversary, and a few days before Rose of May, running concurrently to both, not as its own thing. GOTTA STRETCH OUT EVENTS SOMEHOW!
They could've at least put it during the daily dungeon refresh.

We have a Dungeon Update coming Sunday at least to fill the gap.

Omega Drive down. Any notes for dervish boss? Just blow up with TG Cid?
It's hilariously easy, even before power creep. Its gimmick isn't even really a thing at all. Literally just blow him the shit up. Slows and stuns help because his Spd drops to basically nothing in the gimmick phase. A couple luckily timed stun procs and he might only get 2-3 turns if you open with an OSB.

This event almost gives enough orbs in the trading post to craft fire strike or ruin!

IIRC, the Dervish boss is easily cheesed. Don't want to spoil it for you, though.
Also, JP just announced a balance change - Sanguine Cross is being buffed by having the HP loss go from 25% to 12.5%, which is rather significant.
Sanguine Cross already sort of got buffed with the Double Hit Drain Strike ability that just got released.
Yeah, alternating that double drain strike and Sanguine Cross sounds like a thing to do for physical 5* Darkness users. Might be worth it in a mixed team running a 30/30 buff, since you're unlikely to cap using anything besides the newer 5* multi-hit abilities.

They wouldn't have to stretch events out if they'd give us the damn Mana and SaGa events!

I want a World of Final Fantasy door in the story realms. There are enough dungeons and bosses in that game (and the side-stories within it) that you could swing quite a few things with that.
This event basically only covers the first 1.5 dungeons and (weirdly) one of the last-chapter bosses.

They did the same with möbius. Early monsters and final boss.
Jesus Christ was that a slog. I kept hitting the wrong SBs and wasted an Orlandeau OSB and a Vaan BSB, and Fujin kept getting silenced (9% chance my ass). I eventually got through it after having to cast Wall three times.
Did the Shadow Lord and Kuja multiplayer fights, we actually wiped on the lower difficulty Kuja because we mistimed literally everything and ate an AOE after the 1 HP attack despite Asylum having a full cast bar just after the 1 HP attack landed, and Transcendence starting to cast during Ultima. Eh whatever, no real penalty for failure aside from wasted time. Otherwise Kuja wasn't too bad, stacking Full Break, Magic Breakdown and Ark Blast on him did its usual stellar job of reducing incoming damage. It also helped to have Agrias with BSB and OSB, Orlandeau with BSB and Paladin Cecil with BSB and OSB. Shadow Lord was pretty annoying, but not exceptionally difficult. It likely helped that we had Tiny Bee on our side, but we would have succeeded without it I'm pretty sure. We did have to rely on Vanille's C1 to finish the fight, though, because he switched to physical immune with no visible health bar, and killed Onion Knight and Yuna (our two non-healer casters) with the transition attack.
Oh well, done and dusted, onwards to World of Final Fantasy.

Already beat all of WoFF, so back to other content...
Setup:
RW Ley Lines
I created Ifrit and Shiva and honed them along with Ramuh to Rank 4 in preparation for a semi-grindy battle. And then Garnet's BSB2 broke this battle over her knee for CMD2 of 40k/turn. And Terra chipped in to make it even more hysterical by doublecasting Maduin twice also for ~40k/turn. I purposely slowed down damage in order to create a single token Orb in Phase 2 before blitzing past and then kept destroying it.
Although I wasted most of two days trying (stupid OCD), I finally beat the damn uber Nemesis.
No native last stand, no native mage OSB, no Galuf shenanigans, total whacktackular team I finally came up with after cycling through tons of different possibilities. Wasted tons of orbs honing abilities and egging up almost all my double broken guys to lvl 99, turns out I didn't need most of it. Thief meta go!
Zidane, R5 Lifesiphon, R1 Mug Bloodlust, Ace Striker using his BSB and OSB
Tyro, R4 Mag BD dance, R3 full break dance, Dr. Mog's with wall
Leila (!?), R5 Lifesiphon, R3 Powerchain, Mako might with all her SBs, and used them all at various times
Alphinaud, R5 curaja, R5 haste, Thundergod mode and Deployment Tactics
Vanille, R1 curada, R2 protectga, Lionheart and her medica SSB and BSB
RW Eiko USB
Geared for attack on Zidane, defense resist and slow resist on everyone else.
Execution was a nightmare, and I used delicate timing of defends, heals, and stacking tons and tons of ATK breaks at various points of the fight. Slows on my guys wasn't necessarily a run ender given my R5 haste on Alphinaud, but it killed me if it landed on Vanille if I didn't have a way to rehaste her really quickly.
The fight ended with me spamming 3 OSBs in a row for only in the 20k-30ks range, damage reflect proccing repeatedly, and running out of last stands with Zidane and Tyro dead, and Leila and Alphinaud at the last stand recovery level.
That really shouldn't have worked. But somehow it did.

So they re-opened all of the orbfest stages and put the anniversary banners back up. They also extended the mythril dungeon and Nemesis stuff. So that was kind of unexpected, at least to me.

To you and everyone else. I'm actually kinda baffled as to why they did this.
Think I'm gonna resist doing any more pulls on the fest banners, but more time on the orbfests is certainly welcome.

Popular demand. I guess they thought we liked not having orbfest prior to this.
Alternatively, we have no content, just give them a couple of months of orbfest.
I'll take another week of orbs, and I'll rethink a pull on banner 4, but if they really wanted to make some more money they'd have reset the 100 gem pulls.
Gah, slightly annoyed at myself for not finishing the Shadow Lord multiplayer last night, means I'm probably going to have to spend leader stamina during Orbfest 2: Electric Boogaloo. Oh well, guess I'll have to settle for "just" an extra 6.5 days of farming Summon orbs.
RIP, Grymoire banner's chances of people pulling on it. Even I'm having trouble justifying it with the anniversary banners up, despite this probably being the one and only chance to get SBs for this game.
Do I want to pull on banner 4 again? I got the Agrias burst and Eiko burst last time. The only things remaining that would be amazing are Durandal, Saintly Excalibur, Veil of Wiyu, and Genji Gloves. The Ragnarok would be nice, but not super necessary; mostly to be used as a finisher.
I'm actually in real bad need for Fire orbs so another week of farming that stuff wouldn't go unappreciated. At the moment my orb stocks are (approximately) in Majors
Power: 102
White: 93
Black: 100
Summoning: 75
NE: 84
Fire: 44
Ice: 97
Lightning: 81
Earth: 200
Wind: 190
Holy: 94
Dark: 63
I'm a bit surprised I have that many Wind orbs though. Should think about using them. I guess. If I can figure out how I could use them.
In any case, having the orbfest farms open until the new dailies kick in is nice.
Banner 4 was tempting me again, but with a relatively high number of dupes and no real need to pull on it (more OSBs would be nice but.... lol Nemesis is dead) I'll just stick with waifu hunting.
