Now that time has passed and I've let the disappointment with the event sink in, I think I'm coming to peace with the fact that it sucks. I've been playing the game for a few months now, and this is literally the first event that just bombs. A couple others didn't blow me away, but this is the first one that just outright stinks.
So while I wish it was better, it's really just strike one in my book. And in some ways, it's actually beneficial to me now that I've decided to finally start with TM farming. I have managed to make some decent progress over the past couple of days and anticipate that by the end of this event I might even have an Excalibur in my arsenal (Cecil is at 34.5% and I have 30-40% in moogles sitting there waiting).
It also gives me time to build up my lapis instead of wasting it on daily pulls so that when a banner or event DOES come around, I'll have a nifty stockpile to delve into.
Now are there aspects of this banner that concern me for the future? Absolutely. The 5 lapis reward thing is practically obscene and the rate of the drops is bridging on insulting, but I can simply write that up to bad event planning. It sounds like they copy/pasted the info over from JP but kinda' forgot that it's not nearly that easy. Given how they manage their weekly "maintenance", it doesn't surprise me that they mishandled this as well. Hopefully it's just growing pains.
All of this being said, if the next event after this one is the same level of suckage or worse, I very much doubt I will be as forgiving.
