Tomorrow is another day. Stop for now.
Sage Sakura was the only banner with a single 5* after the 3% rates change in Japan, so 1% chances to get her.

Gumi will absolutely fuck it up. Single 5* banners are a dying breed.

That's pretty hilarious. Do you think they did it on purpose? Lol
Gumi: Be a shame if someone decided to turn it into a double rainbow...
Dont do it......
I used about 60 tickets and 3 10+1 pulls. Finally got a rainbow from a ticket and it was off banner -_-

Off banner is how it works. It's nice seeing Merc Ramza now on list for bonus units. XD

Opened up 3 new slots for Gaffers. 716.468.148 Currently sharing a 1052 V. of the Dark, but I share whatever is useful to current events typically.
Been out of the loop for awhile attending some personal matters. What's going on here? A really good banner? Sweet. Let's try a daily.
Sice
Well screw you too Gumi.
I'll wait to dedicate more resources when I know what banner is next week. After all, I only have 55,000 lapis, 3 4* tickets, and 213 tickets.
I think I have a hoarding problem.

I am at once mad that everyone is getting effed with low rates on this banner but also relieved I don't have the worst actual luck?
Also what's this 3 free tickets thing? Link if ya got one.

Depression has set in. No DV, FV, and uncertainty about how I will get my resources back for Nier.
Congrats again to all you lucky folk today...!

There was a question on Discord about if Nox for Mac works for the Korean rewards. It does. It takes about 10 minutes. Actually, less, because you don't need to install any in-game updates or actually launch the Korean version of the game (thanks, Hippo). Just link it to FB and fire up the GL version and you'll get the rewards.

My only pull on this banner and i got her too. No more pulling for me until Nier now lol
Indeed. Best pull in my gacha history amon all games. My most desired unit + his dark buddy, can't get better than this.
Thanks! Yep, first 5k pull. First i was like, well ok orleandeau instead of dv, still awesome, then i noticed the second rainbow...that feeling
This. I'm super excited for 10 man trials. I can use the landus for landu chaining, tidus and camille for chaining, and aileen has a easy to get partner too right? now only fryevia needs a good and easy to obtain partner.
The only thing is...there is a ton of tm farming waiting for me ;__;

Aileen's chaining partner is also Camille lol. She has 2 skills, an earth debuff one and a water debuff which chains with their respective element users.

So just how are the 10 man challenges in terms of difficulty?
Are they the toughest content? Or are some people with fully TM'd decked out units capable of completing them without ever subbing out a 5 man team?
Get cracking! I'm letting mine run most of the weekend. I have 1 Rasler TM, and working on 2 more. Along with Dark Knight Cecil juuuuuust in case I ever pull a DV lol

You already finished the story event? damn that's fast :O

That was my world today :/
Just started the story event. Did the rewards per stage increase? I **really** don't remember Stage 1 dropping T3s, let alone getting basic drops from one of the mobs on the last floor of every substage.
Mine was 22 tickets + daily for a single gold - King.
Ended up doing more during work. Took 39 tickets to finally get EV, but at least I have a good tank finally!

I did. Thankfully there wasn't a single Kill with Esper mission lol.
I refreshed three times today and got it all done and now I'm TM farmin. I figured since I'm not really spending anything on this banner I may as well put my lapis to good use and catch up on TMs I still need to get.
I'm pretty sure I got more purecrysts than any other story event. At least it felt like the good ones were being handed out a lot more and earlier in the event line.
I only just got to the first stage that starts dropping giancrysts but yeah this event seems much more generous. No freaking esper challenges and earlier cryst drops. I doubt the later stages drop two T4's but maybe one is at least guaranteed this time?

I actually really like the story events. Like I think it might be my favorite part of the game.
Got a lot of of Tims! gonna LB farm his little ass.
The equipment are really good and the cryst are always nice. I look forward to it too.
Honestly with the mog kings selling T4 giancrysts, I've amass alot of T4s. I know Japan didn't have this option to buy T4... I think.

10 more tickets...
Fire Veritas and Vicky this time, on my 40th pull and final pull before giving up for just dailies for the rest of the event (who was the one I was trying for).
I'm out. Blew half of my stash, but at least I got a new rainbow out of it. Shame it's not DV, as I really don't need yet another finisher. But at least, I got enough Tim's for at two easy 5-combine TM hats, so that's a plus I suppose.

These dual banners are the fucking worst man. It's bullshit and really needs to stop. Split the fucking banners gumi, stop being a piece of shit. Glad I dropped out after my 20 pulls. Feel sorry for you guys who went deep and came out with nothing.
At very least I got my third Lightning, can't be mad about that!

real talk: i just wanted one of orlandeau, aileen, or fryevia. so dropping 40 pulls was going to happen, on this banner or on the next or the next after that. not going to stop until i get them.

To be honest, I think the dual rainbow/gold (or more!) banners are a result of Gumi realizing that players were (within reason) able to collect all of the units on a banner relatively (subject to RNG mood swings) painlessly. Also, this behavior falls into the trend of balancing increased freebie pulls (3* tickets everywhere, plus multiple 10+1s lately) with actually not guaranteeing players every non-rainbow unit with every banner.
Double the freebies at half the drop rate, gets the player right back to where they were all of this started, only with the problem that RNG swings are far, FAR more fickle and noticeable when the drop rate of the units that you want are at 2% or less.
All I wanted from this banner was a Vicky. But at 4.75 / 2 = 2.375% odds, thats a 1 in 42 chance. So, blowing 40 tickets to get her was a perfectly average result.
But, the average player is not going to be able to collect 40 tickets for an average shot at each gold unit on a banner, let alone 80 for both golds on a banner.
So, in short, players are receiving more tickets, but ultimately are receiving less for those tickets. Funny how math works like that at times. All in all, with the devaluing of normal tickets, Gumi's likely intentions are to emphasize and bolster the value of those 4* tickets, bonus crystals, and 5* tickets.
Your goddamn right... Can't win if you don't play.
The moment you pull 5 Fire Veritas before pulling Dark Veritas on an off banner EX ticket.

Random but how many unit slots are people up to atm? I'm on 250/250, but over 20 slots are being taken up by moogles (with more to collect in my inbox).
Hmm interesting, and I think you're right. I don't consider myself a hoarder but I have 90 tickets atm because the game has just been throwing them at us. Last week we were getting 3 tickets a day from daily bundles which is absolutely insane to me. Then you've got expeditions, daily logins, events etc. But it really is more difficult to pull banner units these days.
