If the leak is true, this is beautifully devious.
Instead of past precedent, where everyone is expecting the "bait" banner before the JP chase unit, Gumi would be using reverse psychology here.
In this case, two bad banners back to back are present to get everyone hungry for a "real" banner. So, here comes the JP chase unit. Everyone goes "all in", as expected.
Then, SURPRISE! Everyone finds out that the Ayaka banner WAS the "bait" banner, with a whole set of Global Exclusives directly behind it when everyone is completely broke from chasing Ayaka.
Oh, I can absolutely see this happening. If true, well damn played, Gumi. And yeah, 6* Golbez would be a given, easily.
Though.... which of the 4 fiends would be the rainbow?
EDIT: Scratch that, from the leak thread:
Reddit said:
Rubicante not more powerful than Barbara is not OK with me.

I know. Rubicant is the best. Not Valvalis.
I'm quasi-kinda excited for Golbez 6*... and, to be honest, some kind of event (Tower of Zot!?) with that music.
I hope he gets a 6* (and that he's usable) it's a shame because his sprite is so amazing.

JP is going to have a livestream at TGS in like 30 minutes here

It's a Jouhou no Ma so it'll probably be new events coming for next month, the 2nd anniversary in JP.

I have no idea to be honest. I'm assuming it's a 10+1? I could be wrong, going on memory right now. But I've had it a while from what I recall. :x
With my 4* tickets I've gotten a bunch of the Gold dude. Only ones missing from SO even now though are the 5*s. I only want Fayt. I only need Fayt. I'm doing this wrong, aren't I?
Oh wow. You did way more pulls that me, but I did spend about 3 4 star tickets and got no banner unit! FU RNGSUS!

JP Info:
New Story
3-star Lakshmi and Titan
Updated version of Parade of the Possessed, I think?
2nd anniversary Thank You campaign starts on 10/1
Adding short stories for all the main characters in S2 that takes place between S1 and S2 - Completing these short stories will unlock abilities for the S2/CG versions of the characters. Even if you don't own them now, if you complete and get them later, they'll have those abilities will be unlocked right away.
Special campaigns are all of the usual stuff including another month of summons.
Story event will be happening for FFBE since it's the anniversary of the game.
Hirono said to wait a little longer on Squall.
That's it for now. They're talking about the fan festival in JP right now.
Folks that visit the JP fan festival will get a special Rain unit as a present. Everyone will get him at some point and he won't be in the gatcha. His LB is summoning all his friends to attack via Rainbow crystals. It's SUPER sick looking.

Okay, so I guess I misinterpreted the ticket. I used it and got bikini Lid. WTF. But then I realized, is that the ticket from the Step system to get Sephiroth? I guess there was a 10% to get a 5* with it? Either way a blue with it was disappointing.
I used my last 4* ticket and got the on banner Gold guy. Again.
Down to 6k Lapis. Did a hail mary pull.
1. Gold on banner guy again
2. Blue on banner guy
3. Rainbow -> Shera ... is this CG Shera or something?
4. Rainbow -> Fayt!!! OMG YES!
5. Cecil
6. Orran
7. Veritas of the Heavens
8. Anzelm
9. Shantotto
10. Blue on banner guy again
11. Cyan
About died when I saw two Rainbows, back-to-back. First was disappointing but gave me hope in next one which was not a disappointment. Time to save again.

FF Fans are so laughable man.
It was literally doomsday in here for days on end and then bam it's almost been reversed. Just took a good hacking

Summonable Lorraine is HUGE
Confirm the Four Fiends and Noctis buff on second FF XV banner.
Look at comments below for more stuff like Halloween awakenings and stronger Emperor enhancements (still no Ramza)

Did you guys ask for more Arianna? No?
Too bad!
If you want to see more, join Reddit's discord channel, there is TONS of stuff they won't share on the board, like Cloud end of November.
Ok I'll stop now about the whole leak thing, last post about it but I'll share a last one, upcoming GL collab :
Feel like I'm over excited about it, sorry :x

Valkyrie Profile in 2018!
I can't help but feel these leaks were intentional. Generally very positive info.
Four Fiends is huge for me. Definitely something I would pull for if units are good. The fact they are putting in more bad guys makes me happy, especially more minor and non-human ones. Personally I would prefer Rubicante to be 5* over Barbariccia. Given there is also loli Rydia and helmetless Kain, someone in Gumi really must love FF4.
Also, Cloud seems to have been pushed all the way back to the end of Season 1, with Duke/Mistair * Gladiolus, who were S2, being pushed up to S1. Gumi may be planning of making Cloud banner much like Niers.
But Nyx banner seems to be ahead of Veritas of Light banner, so there seems to already be a change in scheduling from what they have in the power point.

Eve moving from a raid summon to the banner to dilute 9S pulls is some fucking bullshit

Oh man I'm a bit stoked for the JP anniversary. If it's anything like golden week, a bounty is in store. New Rain unit sounds great!

Pulled a Desche today. Olive is going to love his TM.
About those leaks. Im guessing no Ramza Enhancements this year? Total bullshit if true, this guy is from October 2016. On top of that Eve was supposed to be in the Raid Gacha and they DID put him in summon pool just to fuck their player base
Way to ruin my last 24-hours Gumi.
Edit - Those leaks dont mention any enhancements, do they?

Ugh, so its definitely no earlier than November for Ramza...
This is getting out of hand now. Hes going to be outdated when they release his enhancement or very shortly after.
Ive been thinking of how much he would help my team ever since I got him. I hate seeing him riding the bench. He was my first base 5*.

Those Halloween unit enhancements though.... complete unit rehauls. I'm not going to embarrassed to own a VLC Fina anymore, especially after:
Witchhood +2:
Oh, and for those with Demon Rain, RIP Wilheim.

+50% SPR + 30% MP + 50% Camo + ADDITIONAL 100% SPR when single wielding.
Oh, and for those with Demon Rain, RIP Wilheim.
Enhanced WoL's 3 turn guaranteed taunt PLUS 50% all damage mitigation.[/U][/B]
It's her final movie too. Using SPR and MAG, alongside the 250% Undead Damage. It maybe the strongest finisher in the game when it's all said and done.
I'm looking forward to the Halloween event. Some themed-variant of Jake, Nichol, and Sakura. So I'm guessing the previous year's banner won't return?
Also, Demon Rain post enhancment just became an absolute beast. 100% provoke now actual damage output on counter. Now I actually have huge regrets not hard pulling for him, and settling for a single Dracu Lasswell.
But Dracu Lasswell enhancements are also solid. -75% Ice Imperil would go great with Fry but I wish he also breaked DEF/SPR instead of ATK/MAG in the same attack, he would have been the perfect companion for Fry. Also, 100% chance to inflict disease is also welcome.
There's two weeks of Halloween banners. Looks like last years units are coming back on the second week.
First week is only Sakura, Nichol, and Jake.

So much info to dig into, I can dive into this stuff for days.
The leaked event schedule states that is going to be 2 Halloween banners. New units on Week 1, last year units in Week 2.
Hrmm... at that Bahamut Killer banner (featuring enhanced Reberta + Zyrus) + Bahamut + Blood Moon, all on Halloween week.
So.... big question in the very short-term (not relevant to the vets here), how many people are going to chase Ling's "surprise" return on this coming week's banner?
By surprise, do you also means Ling's enhancement or just returning in banner?

Guess who's one of the few people with Demon Rain? This guy!
Regarding my Malboro attempts. Its 5 am, i get big mal to 3%, rest are at 11 and 13%. Instead of using rikku's LB i attacked with her. Immediately reset the fight but it didnt take. Came back up with rikku attacking. Fucking rip. Over this. First time in a long time this game has pissed me off and has turned me away from the game. This trial is bullshit. Hope who ever designed this gets some bad fucking karma. I will wait for the magic resist tanks and come back to this.

Banner for now, although surely enhancements are coming soon (enhancement patch dates are given, but not who is being enhanced on those dates.
Banner for this coming week is : Orlandu, Ling, Mercedes, Luka, Exdeath. Ling is back, but it's going be like pulling for Tilith, because it's a TRIPLE gold unit banner, which makes all but rainbow-tier rare to pull.
I'm in the "plausible" category on this. There is far, far too much information present that all agree with each other. Plus, internal corporate reports tend to look like this. Could be fake, but I haven't seen any true red flags that make me doubt the integrity of the data... yet.

Interesting that there will be no intermission between Seasons 1 and 2 for Global.
That Black Friday weekend though... Good god.
If I'm reading/compiling this right between all the documents, then that weekend contains:
Good to see the guaranteed 5* pull is back for Christmas/New Years Day.

And of course.... bundles.
With "Upgraded" Noctis being the leading to all of this, through Thanksgiving Day in the US.

I'm still not grasping the language of the game, so what these leaks mean is beyond me, but I guess it's good news? And that I should definitely save my lapis until... uh... some point in time?
Also I love how my free pull almost always gets me a (n albeit pretty useless) 4* and my 250 lapis pull gets me some 3* trash. Today I got a free 4* Veritas of the Heavens, so I have the two most useless Veritas now: Heavens and Water.

And this was supposed to be week that put a nail in the coffin of the game for good
LMAO
October is really tempting. Ayaka is a must (though we know that if you can wait 4 months you could wait for S2 Sakura), and those FF4 four fiends sounds really amazing. Then two Halloween banners, with a hugely enhanced Demon Rain; though I'm scared to hard pull and get another Dracu Lasswell. Grim Lord Sakura sounds really nice though (glad its not a double rainbow banner).
That's a lot of temptation.
Hopefully they upgrade the sprites, Halloween was GL's first exclusive, and that first banner was much lower quality then future GL exclusives. Hopefully they upgrade base stats and skills for Dracu Lasswell and Demon Rain, they are currently so behind the curve its not even funny.

QFT.
Found the financials, but not to bore everyone here..
Let's put it this way.
Gumi had set very lofty expectations for the Dark Veritas banner, as that was a known chase unit. On Day 1, alone, the target was nearly $1 million USD. That target was beaten by ~85%. The one week alone pulled in well over $3 million USD.
And then the next day, the Nier banner hit.

Dark Veritas banner? That was the change that fell into the cracks of my sofa, in comparison.
This game isn't going anywhere in the medium term. It's blowing every metric set for it out of the water by wide margins.

So what's the excuse now?
I'm constantly told that JPN gets so much freebies because people spend a lot of money. It looks like Global players do as well if they are surpassing expectations by more than 80%.
