I agree. I think, going forward, we should mentally translate "10+1 pull" as "probably a $50 investment."
I'm absolutely guilty of this. I don't even mind spending -- will I drop $10 on 1500 Lapis for Maze refreshes? Probably. And I'm not going to tell anyone not to gamble: it's your money (but remember, it's money).
I'm going to make one suggestion. If you're going to pull, set up an Amazon version and use coins. They're cheaper, at least (provided they've fixed it).
I don't know. I was joking when I said buying a PS4 for Noctis would be cheaper, but it seems like a true statement since some folks are doing 100 pulls.
I dumped every lapis and ticket on the original Lightning banner and combined with this bullshit I have 1 H shield plus a new charlotte at 5% without ever using her
Hey , positivity. I did 10 pull n 18 ticket. No noctis no Mercedes he'll only 3 Charlotte.
Ludmille dual cast and black cowl for you.
I pulled some TM potentials and trying to be happy with it. Ludmille , chizuru #2 , miyuki #2 , Locke , 3 gaffgarion!! , another WoL and Cod and rest is trash lol

I am all for people paying money in the game as it obviously helps maintain it and I will drop cash as well if it seems worth it...but when people are dropping $500+ for a single unit.....yikes.
Dude, seriously, please stop.
Sleep, go out, or do whatever you can do but stop pulling for now.
Try again tomorrow if you still feel the need to pull.
A few have already been broken by Noctis, too many casualties today....I'm sad

I only got 5 tickets left but I still have all my 12000 lapis, unless new years is insane I'll keep my lapis until the Rikku/Tidus banner.(unless I pull her with a ticket)

I learned my lesson the hard way not to spend money on mobile games micro transactions. I spent roughly $800 on Record Keeper and regret it so very badly. I still keep up with the game only because I'm so invested in it , but I want to quit it everyday. Maybe I'll suck it up and drop it soon. Exvius is a much better game overall, but I won't spend a dime because I know the pain of pulling for random shit and not getting what you want. At the very least o don't feel completely gimped in Exvius. I know I got lucky pulling units like Cecil, Refia, and lighting. We'll see if I feel utterly out classed in the future by not spending money to get ahead, but right now I'm perfectly content with my team and don't feel the need to drop money on chasing Noctis. Unlike record keeper, this game seems lenient on power creep. Record keeper you could save mythril for months, not get shit on your pulls and then be grossly under powered unless you pull more and drop money. I don't feel that way with Exvius . unless something really changes later I don't feel like the characters I have now are gonna suck in the future.

Yeah thats the thing
Its not like any of us cant clear the content. We just want Noctis cuz hes fucking broken and basically would be like turning on easy mode
And we have enough luvky bastards here to loan usa Noctis summon so honestly i would just pull what you are comfortable doing like always and start looking forward to xmas event
Just keep working on the teams you were already building

Agreed completely. I felt bad after spending like $30ish on loot boxes in Overwatch, spending $50 on a single 10+1 and getting nothing would be awful.
Added!
700? Look at Blazed's Noctis, already 800+ lol.
Thanks guys, I'm full and can continue TM farming soon. I want to level up my chorizo to 100 before continuing.
I'm headed to the gym in a few but ran a quick tally of my 50 or 60 pulls although I can't tell because I didn't record them all on gaf, but from what I can tell
Charlotte - 16 (finished tm)
Bartz - 3
(2) - Mercedes Benz, Kefka, Rydia, Leo, Locke, Gilbert, Vaan, Medius, Rakashasa
(1) - Artemios, Duane, Vanille, CoD, Freya, Ingus, Fririon, Zidane, Tellah, Fang, Xiao, Edge, Alma, Cecil, Arc, Miyuki, Fran, Mustadio, Hayate, Bedile, Lenna, Ludmille
If I can ever get TM farming up and running I might be able to make some half decent units. I'm just trying to get Chizuru and Exdeath to lvl 100 right now. I haven't even spent any money on this game and it's still depressing. I'll have to figure out what to do next and how to make my arena team competitive enough to not die in 1 turn so I can grab the 2 trust moogles for this month and then stop caring about top 3k after that

See, I have just the opposite opinion! I think the Record Keeper pull rates are much fairer, and the game isn't binary: you don't usually NEED one character or relic, and if you do for a particular strategy, it's a friend unit away. Sure, you can't clear Cid Mission Mote Ifrit, but you also don't need those rewards.
Basically, while I think Exvius is a better, deeper game, it's incontrovertible that: the freebies are worse, the developer has less technical proficiency, the rates are abysmal, and the game is less binary. In RK, if you pull a great relic, now you've got a usable character. Here, if you don't pull Noctis, you've got 8 Charlottes, 2 Russells, and a hefty credit card bill.
This is also anecdotal, but it seems like Gumi alters drop rates on a per-banner basis, which is all kinds of shady. Could be 100% wrong on that, of course; it could also be yet another example of technical incompetence.

Seal of Destruction and Power of creation approaching 90%, they aren't moving quick enough lol.

Spent another 10 tickets this morning for a grand total of 15 tickets on my main account spent. This mornings 10 yielded pretty crappy results.
- Golbez (New)
- Artemios (New)
- Celes (New)
- Roselina (New)
- Bedile
- x3 Charlotte (should be called the Charlotte banner)
- Penelo
- Miyuki - best pull out of this for a second Sakurafubuki
Done using tickets. I have a lot more, but it's just not worth it on the Charlotte banner. (Because let's not kid ourselves, that is what this is.) Will be doing only daily pulls now.

This is where I'm at. I'm working on TMs to get my current team up to snuff because if I can get them there, it's actually quite a badass squad. Would I like Noctis? Sure... but I don't need him to stay relevant, especially since we are such a sharing family here on GAF.
So I'm psyched to build up a healthy collection of gigantuars with the maze this week in the offchance I get something good in a daily and otherwise getting psyched for the Christmas event.

So close the the 70k moogle now and I'll be done with this event. Guess I moght start running the maze and then try and TM farm on the off time if Memu doesn't crash often.
I mean it isn't just that. I want him because I like the character and sprite. I went for lightning because I like the character and sprite . I want tidus because I like the sprite and love ffx.
It's just unfortunate for me they're all base 5s.

Good post, exactly agreed. Just as an aside some of us want him more than others because 1) no DPS and 2) never pulled a rainbow.
Seeing that rainbow fang on this page again is giving me nightmares though.
That said, the moment i get my lapis I'm doing an 11 pull and a daily. I don't think I can be stopped.
Ur full , add me 871151852
Lightning at but have good TMS cooking to make her much stronger
Congratulations to all who have pulled Noctis so far!
Sorry to the ones who've dumped a lot and not had any luck at all I'm sure it'll be worth doing daily pulls at least... Unless mine is anything to go by;
Sabin number 8... (Is Counter worth anything to anyone...?)
I'm waiting until near end of banner to do pulls, and sticking with Daily until then, hoping I have a lucky Christmas pull >_>

That's really interesting to me how you feel the opposite way about record keepers gatcha. I totally see your view point how in Exvius it's all or nothing while ffrk you can make a lot of viable teams work depending on the equipment you pull. I'm looking at it like how I spent a couple hundred in the first six months of record keeper and all my shit is severely outclassed and effectively worthless. I dropped more money to stay relevant later on and I can already see the cycle repeating. In Exvius even our original day one units are still viable and usable. That's the big difference to me.
yeah but FUCK YEAH LUCKY 777

Sweet! I refused to do the past couple events with their bullshit systems and requiring units only provided in the latest banner for remotely decent yields. The Halloween event however enabled me to get everything I wanted without driving me bonkers. Bring it on!
Sorry darling but you will soon have the soothing balm that's kept me busy, FFXV! Then you will have all the Noctis you want
Actually what you said you're going to do is what I've been doing, just TM farming, friend gifting, and collecting the daily log-in reward because FFXV has been taking up my time. I just last night finally put more time into FFBE to grab some extra lapis from missions. I finally knocked out the rest of the latest story content and the Attack 10% recipe and unlocked the Carbuncle stage.Anyway, just do the standard maintenance for your account, maybe do the story missions to collect the lapis back up for future great units and have fun with FFXV which should be a great distraction for you.
In fact, I'm going to go ahead and go aggressive for Noctis after work. If I blow it all and end up pissed, I can just take my own advice. FFXV will keep me happy and I'll gradually build the lapis back up in time for the next players choice banner. Although I'm going to use all my tickets first and pray I get Noctis from that or better yet, the half off daily (one can dream). Chin up! At least you have a 5* base
Request sent!

I did 11 pulls until I got a rainbow. Ended up with Gilgamesh #3. Guess I'll have dual wield for all of my party soon. Will wait to see what bundles Christmas/New Years bring.

I'm actually really curious what everyone's rainbow crystal pull rate has been. I've only pulled two rainbows the entire course of the game. It's a stupid low chance. I'd be so upset if I rainbow pulled and it wasn't actually a 5 star base unit.
My rainbow drops,
1 - Lightning
1 - Luneth
My rainbow drops,
1 - Lightning
1 - Luneth
Let me look at my stats...
Days played - 201
Units summoned - 4998
Rainbow - 6 (Firion in June / WoL&Chizuru in August / Lightning in September / Dark Knigt Cecil in October / Ramza today)
Problem is that is also count FP units, so it's impossible to know our own rates.
Hearty congratulations to those who got the pulls they wanted. To those who didn't, I'm sorry.
I can confirm that the dragon is back to being beatable. Cecil has a whopping 506 def now.
I added some friend slots if anyone wants to hop on. 911,468,888. Noctis is going to be in the incubator for a few days but he'll be ready soon. 677 atk Lightning in the mean time.
1 Chizuru
1 Lightning
1 DKC
1 Ramza
1 Noctis (the last two happened this morning lol)
That's out of 153 days played and 3479 units summoned. My fp earned accounts for 1928 pulls but that would mean I've done 1551 premium pulls, aka 10 a day and that definitely isn't correct so I don't know how to count actual pulls.
Fully FTP here with 13k lapis in the bank. I've been so lucky it's stupid, and I'm terrified for when my luck stops.

I bought $3.99 bag to see if it's working, it is, pulled a daily, grabbed my first Golbez. That's cool, but now I have the scent and I can't shake it.
I have lost the count about how many pulls I have made, it is over 500 during 7 months of playing BE.
1. Golbez daily pull during first Lightning banner
2. Gilgamesh made total of 5x 10+1 to it (4th 10+1 was Gilgy)
3. Snow daily during second FFXIII banner first week
4. Lightning made 2x 10+1 during second FFXIII banner 2nd week
So 2 Base 5* 2 non base.

I haven't even been able to get troll rainbows ;p What does a rainbow look like again? I'll see when I draw Noctis tonight!
Is it better to have troll rainbow-ed to have never rainbow-ed at all? *ponder emote*

Congrats on the Noctis! Thanks for your friend unit btw, have used it a lot for awhile.
Yea I am in the same club... I feel like it would be best to not get a troll rainbow at all, I think that would be even more disappointing than not having even seen a rainbow yet?
50 (2 11 pulls with the black friday deal) and got 0 rainbow with it.
