    10+1 was bare minimum as hell.

    10+1 was all junk, but it let me finish my Ultima TMR, so that's cool I guess.

    10+1 getting saved for a rainy day.

    Threw another batch of tickets at Lid and now I could get prishe’s STMR. That is apparently not worth getting. Oh well, at least I got my rainbow high.

    10+1 was garbo. I did get Fryevia up to 749 attack / 1,050 magic so that's neat.

    Ok. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the Extra Stage final boss is being a pain. The first time through I 1st turn killed him with a HE chain (Seph/Orlandeau) after a Lid LB break (free story one). Experiment no. 44 died before I finished the esper summon. Every time I've gone back since, I can't OTKO him and he is left with < 20% HP and wipes out my entire team. I am breaking his SPR/DEF 45% and trying to cap a HE chain with Bahamut, but it still does not do the trick. I'm thinking I might need to break his ATK/MAG as well and go multiple turns. If anyone survives the enrage threshold, he has a huge DM buff up and I can't kill him turn 2, which is a game over.

    Difference there is the level of break. The free story CGLid you can take has a fully leveled LB, so it's a 74% fullbreak.

    Lid's 6* is 70% but yeah it's a huge difference. Just try lid and better timing.

    Free 10+1 got me a second Lightning. So my actual 7* lineup is as of now Lila, T.Terra, Ace, Lightning, and Prishe. With maybe an Ex Aileen if Gumi decides to throw me a frickin bone here(love the sprite). Sure would be nice if there was a healer and tank in there, but we take what we get. Both T.Terra and both Ace's were both pulled in the last month. Almost as if the game was waiting for me to lament my lack of 7* publicly and then make me out to be a liar.

    10+1 was Rosa and blues. Not surprising, my 10+1's have always felt like 10% rainbow tickets with mostly garbage.

    I also don't save the 10+1s since they're bannerless, so it's either an old unit today or an old unit tomorrow. Today's had a very old unit, Emperor, but as he's my first I'm happy for the new unit and new rod.

    I didn't realize it was a max level LB. Hmm. I can rework things a bit and get it done next time. I still need that stupid esper kill so I may need to bring in Garnet for more Bahamut damage. I don't want to enhance Delita's break just to farm this story event either.

    My 10+1 was crap but I got that CG Lid with 1 total ticket used so I can't be mad.

    Holy crap, I didn't realize how much of a stat stick 3* Siren becomes when you get both ST Reflection Bonuses, My Siren is level 30 and my Ayaka is getting 75 points of MAG and 76 points of SPR from her. Shiva and Ramuh are going to be much the same aren't they, with nothing really worth going after other than the Reflection bonuses?

    Ramuh gets some Magic Killers - Stone and Demon. Shiva gets some stop resist up, but mostly seems like a stat stick.

    Threw a few tickets at the banner because I was getting an itch. Tidus.

    #4.

    This game really wants me to enhance Tidus.

    Blew tickets on Seph last week. No joy.

    Going for the 250 pull for chances at CG Lid.

    Rainbow...could it be?

    Eh, that'll do.

    Now I need to start figuring out which dudes to get rid of. I've been holding on to anyone who could get to 6. But honestly, Seymour? Xiao? Hayate? Cloud of Darkness?

    Also, i could make an awesome all-Tank team from some combination of
    Warrior of Light
    Mystea
    Shylt (X2 even)
    Veritas of the Earth
    Cagnazzo
    Ozetta

    I never bothered to upgrade a lot of the 3* units to 6*. I have been going back and leveling a lot 4* units to 6* for expeditions because cactuars have been so plentiful with back-to-back raids.

    Taking guesses at the content for this week? We will get enhancements, new Trial bosses, and ??? I doubt we'll get another MK currency grind since we're finishing up one and we're still grinding through the story event. Could be an off-week...

    Maybe a story update? It looks like we're getting Shiva and Ramuh 3* Thursday.

    This week is almost certainly just a story week, new 3* esper, probably enhancements, and some filler banner.

    It is pretty nice that they outright said that we would be able to run red and blue, and violet and yellow at the same time.

  • ReignerReigner Registered User regular
    Maybe our filler banner for the week ends up being the new JP EX Whale unit? We're about due to get her aren't we? I could see them making a banner with her and Reberta on it.

    Otherwise probably just Enhancements, Espers and a story update.

    I find it fitting that the music for the Seph pull is so evil.

    You spelled Dancing Mad wrong.

    Dancing Mad is great, Amazing even, but One Winged Angel is better. Of course is a matter of opinion.

    They are both pretty awesome. Seph’s is more focused on him and personal, while Kefka’s is more grand and sweeping, which makes sense given the storylines of the two games and the heroes’ differing relationships with the villain.

    Sephiroth tried to destroy the world out of revenge, Kefka did destroy it, because he thought it was funny.

    I don't think they will rebalance the amount of supercites you get, just the relics. It sounds like they will reduce the Gil cost and the number of relics you get per completion. Adding another supercite expedition will nearly double the number of relics you can acquire per day since you can run 5 expeditions at a time instead of just 3. I think that is what they mean by "rebalance".

    We get another expedition slot? How did I miss that?

    I don't get the Kefka love but I never finished it. I've bought it on every virtual service but never finished the game. So maybe he becomes more evil or something? He seemed like an overly generic bad dude the times I saw him.

    Kefka, at the time of FF6's release, was a villain who broke the regular villain motif. You go through a chunk of FF6 thinking that Emperor Gestahl, Kefka's master, is the big bad. Dude is trying to conquer the world with magitek fueled by the power of enslaved espers. The Empire awakens the Floating Continent and Gestahl is primed to achieve godlike power by harnessing the Warring Triad... and then Kefka betrays him and takes it for humself. More than that, Kefka throws the Triad out of balance causing the world to be magicially nuked to hell. Why? Because he wanted to destroy. No thirst for conquest and no motivation beyond the desire to destroy. He then spends the rest of the game harnessing magical power in order to erase the entire world from existance, because his only desire is to destroy life itself. In short, he's an insane psyhopath with no redeeming qualities.

    Almost every villain up to that point had some form of motivation, be it either conquest or revenge. Kefka doesn't really have a motivation for what he does, he's just a chaotic force of destruction.

    In that chaotic simplicity, Kefka was a refreshing villain.
