You get an extra item, since it's 50 mythril for 11 items instead of 5 mythril for 1. Unless you're just starting out, or you're impatient, its probably better to do 11 pulls.

I'm perhaps biased because I have gotten every 5* piece of gear outside of the 11 pulls and 0 inside them. But really there seems to be no reason to not do an 11 pull if you're going to do 10 pulls anyway.

More mythril.
Wait where's his level break crystal? I'm behind on the reg dungeons, is it somewhere in there?
It's the reward for Gapra Whitewood (Elite), FFXIII. the first dungeon from the update.
Will do that. Thanks!

Man... I didn't even do the 3rd FF8 Classic dungeon... I have so much to do in this game yet outside Events & Dailies.

I've been hoping IX gets a port to steam for a while now.

Wow, IX would be great on steam. It is still a very pretty game imo. Really nice art style that ages well.

less HP too, i believe.

Are emulators able to fix IX's load times? If so, I'll set one up and rip my copy asap.
How are people deciding which gear to trash? I am at the point were I have deleted all 1 and 2* items but I am still having inventory issues. I know some of these items probably suck even with realm synergy but it seems like a pain to go into a realm specific dungeon and manually compare all of these 3* (and ++ versions). I wish the UI would just tell you the stats with synergy and without in the inventory by default.
Wind Slash (the celerity skill, not the spellblade skill) is ranged isn't it?

The VIII thrown 5* has a wind aoe attack that hits ranged...
Also, if you use an ability with a ranged attack weapon = ranged ability. So use a ranged weapon with wind slash or whatever it is called.

I wish you could trade items to in game friends, like a gift system. I'd give Wazzy one of my 3 Revolvers.
That Irvine gun was a bitch to pull though.
Is there any other VIII armor? I just for a Balamb Garden Uniform, equipped on Squall, Irvine's for his hat, and I dunno what to put on Rinks for full synergy. If I could get the Minotaur Plate maybe I could equip Squall with that and give Rinoa the uniform but in gotta get that item first.

Yep. Wind Slash on Wakka or Fran does the job.

this is gonna' be one big thread.Oh man the Final Fantasy XIV event coming to japan makes me happy and sad at the same time, because it'll be MONTHS before we get it
We'll probably be on another OT by then.

everytime i see one of these, the temptation to do a paid pull rises. sometimes I'm strong enough, sometimes not. I've pulled 11, 1, 3 on this banner and got a whopping 2 ten gallon hats and 13 3 stars. Considering the content is not difficult for me, the rational move would be to hold off further...

Finally got Squall. Leveling him up as I go for the crystals now.
I wish they'd telegraph difficulty spikes at all. The T-Rex boss probably isn't actually that hard, but when you've been autobattling through everything with your underleveled FFVIII characters and then suddenly they're both getting one-shotted with the same attack, it's annoying.
Haha I had that same experience this morning! Looked back at my phone to see Squall and Irvine eating dirt. Sorry guys--that's on me.
It's vulnerable to almost every status ailment. I'm gonna Blind it. And Paralyze it. Also vulnerable to Ice.
Didn't know about the I've vulnerability. Nice. What's the best way to paralyze it? I have Silencega packed
Like Roto said, you can Blind and/or Paralyze it. You can also Poison it, which lasts until it dies. If you don't have Intimidate yet you can also Sleep it. Sleep + Poison + Ice Spells.
Edit: Intimidate is the best paralyze ability. You can also try Blade Bash but it only has 10% chance to paralyze. Silencega doesn't paralyze, only silences.

Is there gonna be a Squall Boss Rush? I don't remember any mention of it in the announcement.
I actually had no idea Intimidate paralyzed a target :lol Never used it, just crafted it for the quest. Got Intimidate, Poison and a whole plethora of Ice elemental abilities ready to go

Yes! I'm hoping it gets announced in 3 hrs for a start time in a day.
Apparently the first boss in the rush, Granaldo, dropped multiples of greater orbs in Japan, wind I believe. I will be blowing days of stam on that guy if that is the case.

That's what happened to me too. Getting one-shotted from practically every attack. Fortunately I had Intimidate with me, so it was s/l until I successfully paralyzed him before he could attack. From there it was easy.
This difficulty spike here was just crazy.

Wrong thread.
Love that T-rex is so easy this time!
Lol I have so many duplicates that trading would be awesome to get Revolver. xD

App put me in the mood to play Final Fantasy V, but I'm holding out for a Game Boy Player.
So then I decided, why not IX?
Started that and forgot how GLACIAL the pacing is, a staple for PS1 RPGs. I dunno if I have the stomach for it, as much as I loved the game.

Wazzy is the outlier, the luck to get so many 5 star FF8 gears both offensive and defensive is something nobody but Wazzy can obtain.

I hate to say it but the grind and pacing of the ps1 rpgs is such a turn off for me these days, even moreso than the aged graphics. a combination of not having time (career/kids) and the speed up ability of the gba/snes/nes emulators. Granted, I haven't looked into psx emulation in years and years, so have no idea if that can work there, if so I may need to dust off the old FFIX discs and give it a whirl.
No seriously, it's actually quite easy compared to the T-rex from Rinoa event. All you have to do is blind and poison it and then blast it with ice attacks.
Don_Tombery
Member
It's easy as long as you are prepared. Keep him blind/paralyzed/sleeping and use ice-magic and he most likely won't even attack once.
(I don't have VIII 5* gear and entered the battle with a low to mid 40s team that get's one-shot by his tail wipe, but in the end I had no unsolvable problems as long as I could keep him paralyzed)
