I'm only about 10k away from thundaga. So about 112 stamina on hard with a small amount of luck in the order.
But on the other hand, locke's even literally just opened up.

I've gotten three 3* from the daily pull, but that's about it. I'd love a free 5*... O_O

Anyone can use it if they equip the item.

Did 3 pulls with mythril I saved up the past few days clearing elites, and I some X synergy item I've never heard of before as well as the Hawkeye. Looks like an awesome weapon for Locke, so I'm sure he'll be using that once I get him.
Nice. Didn't know that was a thing.

7/15 of my gear is FF6 synergy (only 2 of the synergy pieces are not 5*), 3/5 characters... gonna be a breeze.

I have a ton of FFVI stuff and all FFVI characters at level 50, so I think I should have a much easier time with these elites.

BTW, there's currently a 4% chance of getting a soul break weapon, so if anyone wants to maximize the chances of getting some SB weapon, this is as good a time as any.
I have to say, the amount of repeat bosses from the normal VI dungeons is a serious snooze. Does this kind of thing become a common occurrence in the events?
Oh god... I know I'll regret it...

Except if you're me because RNG hates me.

Cloud doing 9999 with every hit, trash and bosses. Oops.
I'm just using whatever characters I want to level up. They happen to all be in the high 40's right now....

Thanks to the Flan genocide and heroic XP sundays, I don't have anything but A players. 
These days I'll bring two or three B-tiers to the easier stuff. I'd use a whole B-team but the interface to switch things around is so awful I usually give up midway, unless I really need to do it.
The UI is one thing I never really got used to with this game and it's always a hassle, it's a shame it didn't launch with all the Japanese updates like being able to remove all equipment at once, saving a separate team setup (I think they have this? not sure), etc.

Power rod 3 star XII
Sage staff 4 star IV
Eh. That is like 7 draws now without a 5.

I've done four 11 pulls, and only have gotten three 5* items total, all on the first pull.
The game is trying to beat me down, but I won't let it. I'll make my own 5* dammit.

When It's time for me to level up the lower level people I will. Until then I'm trashing everything with my A-Team. Fuck that noise

These equip awards are hot garbage, do not want ninja gear or greatswords. Am very glad I didn't go for the fire ring with lenna. And I can get my diamond vest to 3++ and main gauche to 3+, so that's something I guess. Started seeing lesser orbs dropping at zozo. I am rolling a team of avg 30 with red Mage ohking the bosses. Through magical factory. Btw the bosses drop their two star equips here as well, just got a flame helm from ifrit.

Not sold on barrier ring. Resistance isnt something i usually prioritize.
^^^ But you can combine all the Ninja Gears and Swords into a 3*++, handy for those with rotten luck in the draws.

Yeah I got the 3* accessory from the Vanille event so I'll probably cut it off there since I can't consistently beat hard mode there

True, for noobs they're fine, but the sword we maxed from the earlier event and ninja gear is easily farmed. Just underwhelming, sorry.

Vale can mean valley. (I'll still take the Mythril.)

Maria is Firion's sister apparently, and Ward got a name change.
Just give us Mythril every day. Some of those daily bonuses are useless. (200 gil? Really??)
fixed, it's 2*++ lol
The 2*++ sword in particular (we got one from Celes event) is on par with a non-RS 5* in VI worlds.
edit: Let's see!
Sephiroth/Tifa: Too hard, and ranged bosses are bullshit
Aerith: Too grindy, rewards suck (how wrong we were!)
Lethe: Too boring
Celes: Too grindy
Rinoa: Too hard
Lenna: Too grindy
Locke: Too much content
(Vanille and Cecil get a pass I guess)
In short:
To put it in perspective though, no one's forcing you to do ALL of the Locke event. Just 15 Normal, which awards a shit ton of mythril you otherwise wouldn't get, and then you can cherry pick which Elites you want to do to get the rewards you want (You DON'T have to do the Elites in order)
Obviously they're all still worth doing in my opinion (omg summon orbs) but yeah. Get locke, powerlevel him, go for Phoenix is totally a valid outline.
Also get used to having too much to do - it gets 'worse' from here on out, even if the events lighten up somewhat.
edit: A nice change, though, would be giving you Normal 1 and Elite 1 to start with. Normals unlock the corresponding Elite and next Normal (as it is now), and Elite unlocks the corresponding Normal and next Elite. That way if people want they can just go through the Elite path and not bother with Normals/rewards that don't interest them.

It should be every day. Just Mythril. All Mythril.They already do give us Mythril every day.
Sometimes I don't even wanna click the item box to collect those other lame rewards.
While waiting for stamina to refill to continue with the Locke event, I did an impulse 11-pull...
Ooh! Two 5* relics! Please RNG, make them Soul Break gear...
RNGenie: Your wish is granted...
Me: But, but, I meant Soul Break relics for Locke, Vanille, Cloud, Sephiroth, Rinoa, Wakka...
*RNGenie vanishes with a hearty laugh
I think this game has become sentient, and is actively trolling me and everyone else playing it.

Don't you dare complain. (Those two in particular have great SB. Group healing and AoE lighting attack.)
That Mystery Veil turns Terra's normally garbage soul break into a decent group heal. C'mon son!
To be fair, I liked all the events we got. My favorites so far were Rinoa (trying to and finally beating the T-Rex was a lot of fun) and Lenna (good orb drops, good XP, good rewards). Seth/Tifa was fun, Celes was fine (didn't mind rerolling for 24), and I concede that I barely remember Lethe lol, but I don't think I had a problem with it.fixed, it's 2*++ lol

My only issues with the events we had so far are:
-Vanille right after Lenna due to rescheduling. Two grindy events at the same time isn't fun. In the end it wasn't a problem for me because I still got Thundaja, but still.
-Locke event is humongous and not exaclty engaging because it's mostly repeated content.
And in the end whenever I post a gif or complain about RNG or w/e it's just for the sake of ribbing, really. The moment I really feel like the game became an actual chore I'll just drop it.
