That weird side thing where Elarra and Tyro are playable characters on a different leveling system from usual, but (most) party stats/equipment/SBs are hard set. Also, they seem to want to be doing actual FF dungeons where you wander around and such. Those were just a damn headache in FFBE. I can't imagine them plus being hugely handicapped will be any better.
E:
Oh, I glossed over it, but apparently the FFXV Ignis event is a collection event where you trade in food.
Mateus is a bitch of a fight. My mage team just couldn't survive long enough, even with two hastegas. I had to switch to my A-team and UCS it with Noctis, and even then I had three KOs. Somehow I survived the second half of that fight without any breaks or even Wall.

Oh. I was being snarky about the other record missions thing that we skipped. Wandering around a dungeon on the phone does sound pretty bad though.
FuSoYa for next surprise broken Burst in the game. Raines level BSB entry and 4-hit instant commands, just because, only CMD1 also comes with a BlackMagic+++ boost.
I mean, it won't happen, but I'd laugh real hard if it did.
Magicite has made me realize how much I loathe the lack of timers in the main game, or any other way to tell if a stat change has any time left or not. Oh, I just lost a 10-minute boss fight because I forgot that it was time to refresh Wall, and so my most important teammates took 2 hits for 6000 damage per hit. Wonderful.
It's so nostalgic, isn't it? I think my favorite part of early final fantasy games was how status effects tended to be silent and invisible.
Major eggs are good, though they'll probably be pretty expensive. I'm gonna say...5k each, unless they take this opportunity to adjust the cost of the other items as well.

They're 6,000 in Japan.
Aww, lame. Currently, each tier of buyable eggs boasts a roughly 50% greater xp/greens ratio than the previous tier, so I was hoping majors followed that pattern.
Maybe one day they'll add Arcana to the greens shop. That'd be nice.
Since they're the EXP which takes for-fucking-ever.
On the topic of magicite, Fire/Ice/Wind now "done" (ie, I've got everything I need to level 99 all the 3*s). Earth I'm about to do the last one. Got it down to 38s. I almost had it at 33 one run, but goddamn interrupts. Anyway, don't see TOO much opportunity to tighten that up other than honing more wind ninja attacks.
Well, until Alphinaud Legend Dive is available, anyway. Dualcast on him would almost definitely get me over the hump.
Or at least that's what I had typed until I realized I'd done my MAG vs +element calculation wrong, and also had OK kitted out for ATK instead of MAG accidentally.
...and then every hit did more damage, but I got interrupted more and it still took 36s. Oh well. I'm close, but no cigar. Wonder if I could have OK switch over to just entrust botting after the initial haste and getting it to work. Hm. Well, something to test out when I'm bored.
So if you're hoarding stamina potions to maximize it...
You want to hold onto one now.
Buy all four on the 6th and hold onto them (5 total)
On December 18th, you'll need to use at least four of them so you can buy all four in the store.
December 19th, store restocks.
Also, if you haven't cleared any of them for mythril, make sure you do that.
I'm done with every element except lightning. I'm currently sitting on five hydra, four humbaba, and zero enlil.
Stupid RNG.
I got frustrated and I've been using a drop manager for this final stretch. Not installed on my phone, but via the emulator where FFRK is the only thing I have installed.
e: And thank God for that, it took almost 8 tries to get Humbaba.

I am down to the final stretch. 2 Enlil and 3 Enkidu, and I'm done. Finished off Ice today, though I am super out of space. I've started vendoring 2* Magicite for space.
Haven't attempted anything crazy on the other magicites yet, but my time on Liquid Flame is pretty much 26s on the dot, which is nice and consistent.
Doublecasting Sapphire Shot for 9999x8 and then following it up with 5500x6 is never going to get old.
I think I can get Bismarck down sub-30 - I've been trying it with Lightning USB/BSB2 and Orlandeau OSB, but it's meter-hungry and Orlandeau wastes a lot of time just Lifesiphoning for piddly amounts of damage. I might be better off going with Lightning/Reno and letting the two of them activate their USBs, then just spamming Thundering Quadstrike/Tempest Snipe.
Going to wait on Water until after the Dungeon Update draw to see if someone interesting comes along, and if not, I'll dive Ashe - I've got her Super, Burst, and Overstrike already (and her burst is quite solid and gives enLit for the OSB), and it's a dualcast lit dive, which will be great.
I've been hemming and hawing over it for a while, but really, what else to prioritize spending legend dives on at this point other than "it gets me over the hump to sub-30s a magicite"?

Got the 3CM on IV Torment, just like I thought I would. Easy-peasy with Rosa USB instead of Rosa SSB, Pecil USB in place of Celes, and Lightning having USB now also.

Well, went for the shelke legend dive finally since I really wanted to see if I could get over the 30s hump on sea lion and the answer is yes. History's Truth also helped, instacast all day.

You have no idea how much it is killing me that I'm going to have dive Shelke instead of Faris.
Maybe I'll get "lucky" and whiff on all of Yuffie's stuff so I have no reason to dive Hybrids and Knights this rotation.
So did a read-up of the FFIX banner coming up and realized that I misread Vivi's LMR. I thought it was speeding up his cast speed, not slowing down. That makes the lackluster response make a lot more sense.
Couldn't pull off the 200CM last time around; adding Ceodore's BSB to supplement Rosa helped a lot, but the real MVP was actually Rallying Etude. Edward's hastemarch + the new song gave me a poor man's shout, which let me RW Wall. That gave me enough layers of defense to murder the shit out of Golbez and his dragon.

vivis lmr is good and ONLY good if the following conditions are met:
- you're not capping with meltdown
- you're using allegro con moto support
And then you have to ask yourself "am I getting more damage out of Allegro Con Moto than I would get by having the character in that slot just do attacks?"

The FFIV event will give us After Years costumes for the twins.

Since he's one of the Ur sages in the series, a Raines-like BSB, but with Rapha-style heal ally bits could be thematically appropriate.
