Goodness... I cannot master FFXIII - The Vile Peaks I. Couldn't get Dark Attack to stick, got tired of retrying. I wish there was a pure Blind spell.

Got the Warrior of Light! He and Snow are gonna be party fixtures for a while. 
It's definitely higher chance of blind than DA.
I'm not sure if I want to farm more for DB while I can make DA right now. I'll try T-Rex with my status affect/ice setup and hope it lands.

Yeah, I didn't have enough orbs for Dark Buster. What's irritating is that the mastery reward for that stage includes 3 non-elemental orbs which I need for the damn ability. Lol

Ah, the FFVIII sprites look so good. Whoever is doing the sprite work for this game is killing it.

Listening to the FFXIII music out of the context of that toilsome game makes me realise what a great soundtrack it is.
Speaking of FFVIII's sprites, they left Gerogero uncensored this time.
His guts are red. They were red in the Japanese version of VIII, too, but they were censored in North America and turned blue. So if you're wondering why he looks more disgusting than you remember, now you know.

Cruisin through these with the last member of my A-Team(Celes who is around level 41 I believe) and 4 from my B-Team(White Mage, Tyro, Rydia, Kain), all 30-40 in level. My lovely girlfriend asks how the game is going from time to time and I've explained stamina and mythril to her. She wants me to go for an 11 draw(it'd be my first)...so this event is making that quite easy with all the easy mythril to be had. I did roll a 5 mythril pull tonight and got a Silver Bracer(3*)....so now it's collection time for the 11 pull where hopefully I get at least two 5 stars. 20 more minutes until FFVIII train level which will reset my stamina in which I can tackle a couple more dungeons.
Thanks to the Gaffer who linked to the one page reddit list of the new dungeons and their objectives. It's come in quite handy being on one page and all.

So much attention to detail, love it!
Neither of them.
As long as you get all of the other medals.
Okay, I'll go back in with full dps team and ignore the Blind medals.

No reason. Just dinosaurs.
It's not, actually. The dinosaur does show up early in the game, but not as much as it does in Record Keeper, they are adding it in as an enemy in places where it doesn't actually show up (such as the fire cavern, or the Rinoa event)

Here's data for 55 runs of yesterday's heroic orb daily, in case anyone is curious.
Still too early to start making conclusions, but it does look like it's gravitating towards a ~5% chance on average? (counting the three entries that didn't drop i.e. 0%)
Looking at the per-stamina costs though, farming Elite bosses still looks way faster, especially with savescumming drops.

Yea, although you need to factor in the side benefit of doing elite bosses, namely that you won't be getting as many other orbs. Hopefully after a few weeks of this, if people keep it up, we'll have lots of data
Yeah, I mean, most people would be using the Heroics for mass-3* farming anyway, not firing and hoping for 4*s, which are still mainly a bonus more than anything.
It's definitely good data, especially when you are in the "need 3*s, and in the meantime 4*s of that type would also help me get closer to X so I don't have to do as many Elite boss runs" stage.
edit: Speaking of which, what -does- the 3* data look like?

Wait, what? The Heal Grimoire's SB heals and reduces damage considerably?
Tyro's usefulness skyrockets with this.
On a side note: Biggs and Wedge are tough (in the sense that Biggs nearly always counterattack, can heal himself, and just has a ton of HP). The boss right after them is easy in comparison.
Oh well. Anyhow, what should I do with my Mythril? I'm not really a fan of Tyro/Cyan/Joseph. I kinda prefer to wait for a more interesting banner to pop.

Gordon get. The next FFII character should be Ricard, though not for a bit yet. I need him.
Sigh, the boss of Vile Peaks is even worse than the previous two. Having to beat it twice, having to inflict blind, the fact that my attacks do next to no damage to it, and it has so much health that I've ran out of abilities LONG before I can beat it, just absolutely ridiculous.
It doesn't help that the fucker doesn't have any elemental weaknesses either, making it an even longer battle.

Maybe I was insanely lucky, but Dark Attack landed blind on the Dreadnought first time in both fights.
The next boss was tough for me... the timer was down to 01 before he finally died. Elite for this will be a nightmare!
the most recent one I mastered was Fabul Castle (IV), difficulty level 34. But that is with synergy.
I've still got quite a few more elites to do (including a bunch level 23+ I missed in VI and X) so I suppose I should just work on those and go back to the new dungeons when I'm a higher level. They aren't going anywhere.
He has two grimoires, one heals, one puts up a shield
... He has two relics?! Oh my.
Anyhow, thank you for clarifying that for me.

LOL! At least you didn't have to worry about MP/Magic stocks in FFXIII, but yeah those fights became insane. Especially farming for the last few trophies (dat turtle... *shivers*). I eventually gave up.

Half the game was farming turtles. The crafting system really sucked.
Is there going to be a XIII where we farm turtles? Made worse by having to trade with Dr. Mog?
Yeah it's both levels and a healthy dose of orbs that you get from Elites both from drops and first/mastery rewards, not to mention a few really good pieces of 4* gear (that's actually soul break gear for the Core classes but that's besides the point)
lmao now I want this in the most masochist way possible. Event will have a single Pulse stage with only the Adamantoise legs visible on the screen, and you'll need to farm trapezohedrons for Dr. Mog.there going to be a XIII where we farm turtles? Made worse by having to trade with Dr. Mog?
I'm really curious as to how they are going to do the adamantoise fight in RK.
Is it just going to be 2 pixel art legs, and when you kill them both, the head drops into the screen?
Either way it's gonna be a pretty awesome fight.
...I hope we don't have to fight that Ochu with all it's little babies, I only managed to beat that by spamming Death.

Cruising along in this. Unlocked FFIII. Have all the new basic dungeons done so far from I(3 new ones), 2(1 new one), all of VIII and XIII...also completed one elite dungeon from FFI and one from XIII and one regular from FFIII. Once you get through III it looks like that opens up more of X and once you get through X that unlocks more of V.
