Those rates are atrocious so I can understand, don't worry I won't delete you (still have Chilly in my list T-T)
I'm also a hoarder and when I see my lapis count so low I get depressed :lol
Take care!

Totally understand. I'm trying my very best to keep my expectations in line with the reality of this game, and that is damn hard sometimes. Take the time you need to come back energized and ready to tackle the damn fine units you did pull today, even if that's hard to recognize in the disappointment of not getting to chase the rainbow.
After spending an embarassing amount of lapis, I finally got him.
Im not even happy tbh... Fucking bullshit rng
So in the end, after spending about 90k lapis, I got a 5* cecil, a 5* alma and noctis.
I will check how many chizurus I got and tell you guys. I think I got about 4 or 5, and 4 or 5 mercedes too. Aka these rates are fucking shit
I got enough charlottes to get two of her tm. Lol

Good luck. Fucking gamblor is a Bitch.

Hope you come back soon CCIE. sorry you were disappointed today as well 
Same with me .. 200 pulls earlier today, I gave in and bought 36k Lapis again .. 280 pulls total, zero rainbows.. I cannot imagine seeing a rainbow eventually for it to be a troll .. I have zero base 5* it's depressing me. Years of gaming and I suddenly remembered games are for fun
True enough.
I set myself up for disappointment every single time there's a 5* that I'd really like to have. Each new banner I think maybe I'll finally get my first rainbow crystal and base 5*. Nope.
Every single time just disappointment awaits.
Oh well, hopefully taking a break cheers you up.
And I feel like shit for living up to it too.
Oh well, you guys will never hear me complain about spending money on pulls ever again, because im not spending anymore money on this lol
Only gonna pull for tidus and thats it, if I dont get him h with my current lapis then too bad.
These rates would be fine if a rainbow was a guaranteed 5* or guaranteed banner unit. But it isnt

Haven't played my lot yet for this banner yet, waiting for the GF for a group activity perhaps late tonight. Surely not expecting Noctis on my acct, but hoping the rumored "new account bias" will help her out.
Praying for a Chiz finally on my main, and a Mercedes would be nice as well before the banner ends. Realistically, my expectations are set at only obtaining one of them at best. On the 2nd week of the FF13 banner, I missed everything outside of my GF pulling a Hope for me. Not even a single Fang.
Still, I'd like a Miyuki at some point as well. Pretty painful to have all of these potentially strong physical units, yet am missing all of the units that give them the TMs needed to shine.
It's only going to get worse, likely every week moving forward.
And yeah, my arena buffed Cecil has nearly 8k health now. That's got to suck to defeat. At least dual black magic is back in play.
EDIT:
Stay safe and take a needed breather.
You aren't going anywhere on my friends list. Chilly is still there at 29 days and counting.
Have a peaceful and less stressful Holiday, CCIE.
Hey man, miracles do happen. @cw_sasuke got 1st Cecil today and I got 1st Zidane.
As someone who has NEVER seen a rainbow crystal having played from soft launch, nope.
The rates are shit regardless. The fact you can get a non-base 5* is just extra shit on top of a shit mountain.
This is exactly why you never chase the rainbow especially when the gatcha mechanics are still stupid as shit. You're not going to win 95% of the time and in the end, it's only going to make you feel miserable about it whether you get what you want or not.
We have known for month the current rates are complete and utter garbage and yet people continue to relentlessly bank everything on a single unit despite plenty of evidence showing how there's an extremely high chance you're not getting what you want.
The complaining afterwards is just icing on the game especially when people are just regurgitating the obvious.

Like I said, I will be around. And I am coming to the conclusion the only way I am ever getting a base 5* is by rerolling. That is how I got Light, and I haven't seen a rainbow crystal since then.
I will still be playing to build up lapis and tickets again, as well as more damned TM farming. But I am going through the motions - can't find it in me to give a damn. Games should be fun, and this isn't. It's WoL all over again.

Real talk: TM farming is probably the best use of all of our non-whaling time anyway. Take care and take a deep breath. We got you fam!
Reddit has it right: Hope you have firaga ready! Think I just figured out the next unit to level -- my 3rd of 4 ExDeaths.
the wiki used to have a summon simulator for every event, which was a GREAT reality check before losing your mind on a banner. the entire site is sadly in disrepair over the past 3 weeks or so, starting back when guy was asking for help on rankings.
https://exviuswiki.com/Summon <-- if it comes back that would be where to look. so useful.
I mean you feel miserable regardless really. You see everyone with their shiny new units, and while you're happy for them you're also just super disappointed that you can't get some of the luck yourself.

Yeah, I used to use it all the time before they stopped updating it or it crashed or whatever happend to it. The rates aren't exact but it did the job. Currently on my 4th reroll and the best unit I have pulled is Garland....lol yikes. Only 5 tickets and 1 daily right of the gate is not a great start up though.

Im so sorry dude. Your luck was even crappier than mine
I know, but you really dont feel it until you try it yourself
I used to watch Ziss's videos and be like " man, this dude spends 100k+ lapis and he still doesnt get the unit. Hes really unlucky". I was always kinda lucky in this game, getting good pulls every once in a while and getting lightning pretty quickly when rerolling
But yeah, you realize he aint unlucky. You alsorealize that too late after spending your money :/
Exactly why I'm f2p. I expect nothing and usually get nothing, therefore can't be disappointed. But when I finally manage my first rainbow (playing since day 1) and it does have a Noctis... Feels good. I certainly wasn't expecting him though.
And yet, this is exactly what those company's want people to do. It'a shame so many solid mobile games are gacha games trying to play into peoples addictive tendencies.

Same principles as dealing with Lightnings
Status effects and Dual Cast spells
You guys will make due. Just have to shut down Noctis instead of auto piloting
It does suck just how massively good he is
In a few day I'll have 2 level 100 Chizuru, it'll be payback time!
To be fair, it was Lapis I've been sitting on for 2 months+ I got from amazon at a Discount and wanted to celebrate doing well my finals. It's also been my first purchase.
I would also feel bad for saying what the other 6 characters were.

Do it
Dont leave me hanging
Im personally bummed I didnt get Noctis and I was fortunate enough to have a rainbow crystal pop
Oh well. I have so many great units as it is.

oh shin, just yesterday i believe your exact words were STAHP.
HMMMMM
It's taking every ounce of restraint I have not to buy more lapis while I'm waiting for them to ever give me my LAST purchase. Once again maybe this is a blessing in disguise.
Aside: Anyone notice we came out of the gate hard early early on and then dried up? HMM.
Well think about the average 5 unit team with all 5*s. They're probably all sitting around 4k-5k health each, Cecils and ValentusRefias aside. Meaning you really only need a couple maxed ExDeaths hitting DualMeteor for that sweetass 4K damage in one move. It's so fun!

Depends on what your goals are
Maze is great for raising up Units. Lots of XP, mats, and other bonus goodies like Star Quartz and LB Bots (but those are the most rare)
So unless you need to stock up on XP, mats and Crystals you should probably be TM farming
Well my eye is clear so I'm back to wearing contacts. Time to do more pulls cause it's friday and I'm bored
Miyuki #2
Gilbert again
Fran...
Mustadio
Charlotte again......
30 tickets left. Still haven't touched my lapis again since this morning. This is terrible. Not even a Chizuru

They should do like Gran Blue imo. Once in a while you get an offer to buy on rare (SSR) character of your choice for like 30$. It kind of balances the addictive behavior. It's a gacha game you won't be able to get the unit you want all the time and of course the new character is obviously going to be good that's the way they attract people. What doesn't help is that you'll see people post that they got the character you wanted but it's kind of normal that with 10+ million people some will get the low odds characters.
oh shin, just yesterday i believe your exact words were STAHP.
No one has ever got laid playing it safe.
If it worked this way then I'd have spent money on the game by now for sure. I've somehow managed to stay f2p so far. It wouldn't surprise me if this actually made them less money overall because whales would probably spend less this way.

Good LORD I'm getting destroyed right now in Arena! So hard to get back into the 20k to 30k region again. So many Nocti and stacked teams plus the ai being an asshole is not letting me advance :/. And these are popping up on low to mid range teams.

Personally, I'm running the Maze and saving all of the gigantuars I pull and use all of the other cactuars to level up some of the units I've been ignoring for a while (Bartz, Firion, etc.). That way I have a great stock of gigantuars next time I get a good pull and won't have to worry about the leveling game.
I'm also still doing some TM farming. I kinda' just keep alternating between the two, to be honest. Refresh NRG, run the maze, refresh NRG, TM farm then take a break.

Im doing maze when I can plan and letting TMR run when I cant and overnight
Seems like a solid plan

For those of you that got unlucky today
Focus on Maze or TMR
Look forward to Xmas event
Noctis is permanently in the pool. Who knows. Any future rainbow you pull could have a Noctis inside
Just move on and plan for Xmas event. Should have some goodies
Noctis is so beyond what current content demands. We dont NEED him.
