Cool!
Keep the double thundara for the ranged bosses but for the final boss consider equipping Rydia with a cure so she can backup heal once her Thundara is out.
Then again you might be strong enough to beat it without too much healing.

Yeah, there's some other discrepancies between the Japanese strategy site and the FF wikia too. If anyone can clarify, that would be awesome.
At least we know that they have his sprite ready to go, so if he's not available now, he should be soon.

Why does the game randomly take you back to the start screen when you're in and out of apps but other times it can go for hours and hours and let you resume where you last left it :/
I think that has more to do with the phone closing stuff as the ram is needed.

Ugh woke up with 41 stamina. Did one 12 stam floor that got me my 5th stam star and restored my stamina =(
This seems backwards, to be honest. The game launched later and is actually slightly harder to progress in (sans whaling) than the domestic version.
We'll see, I guess.

In comparison, what were the Shinra bosses at?
I think you are better off than when I attempted it. Only difference is I had a lvl2 thundara and a regular thunder but really they fell pretty quick.
I also had wakka leveled rocking a nice 4* bow for the ranged battles too. Don't know how much of a difference that would make.

Drops are determined at the start of a match. If you disconnect, you'll get the same drop no matter how many times you try it.
The flee trick/airplane mode trick works because you can disconnect from the internet, see what the boss will drop, and then you can decide to either flee, repay the stamina cost and try again, or simply reconnect and collect your prize.
(edit) Got excited thinking that the new event started this morning, nope it's this evening. Time to grind some more dailies!

Are there any plans to put FF11 and FF14 in this game? Have they mentioned them?

The equipment screen is so cumbersome. I have no idea what I'm doing half the time.

I have some item drop location questions.
Which floors of Shinra should I farm for Gloves? I had a pair but I must have fed them to a different piece of equipment.
FFV - Ship Graveyard is for Black cowl
FFIV - ??? for Whips?
FFVI - Figaro Castle for Lesser Lightning orbs
Any other Great locations for drops?

They're just used for upgrades. They're better at upgrading weapons/armors than the actual equips

If they ever optimize this game, it will be SO much nicer. As it stands, it's a bastard to navigate any menu.

Are all these drops just the last floor boss, or is it a specific level in these floors?
Last floor boss.

this is handy
The Lesser orbs you can get from normal mobs though
I keep seeing references to the Silver Harp but haven't seen it anywhere. Is it a random pull with mythril?
Don't think I'll end up getting Sephiroth. That 100 Gunner is just too much for me for some reason. His mega wave beam or whatever absolutely wrecked me yesterday. Might have been able to beat him if I used a mythril but didn't think it was worth it. Everyone I've leveled up to fight him ranged is just paper thin. :|

Ff6 master reward, last stage.
If it only takes you 1mythril I think it would be worth it. You cannot even do a relic draw with a single mythril.
I wish the equipment screen had what realm the item was from on it rather than having to go into the item.
Lol, been trying to get another whip.. tried like 20 times so far (meh) but not using the airplane mode since that's a bit time consuming. Don't have sound on since I'm at work (well, I never have sound on my phone regardless).. damn thing had no drop for the first time I've seen so I couldn't pause and flee in time! Doh.
Ahh thanks.. I apparently didn't beat the FF6 area (guess I got sidetracked!) so I'll go ahead and do that now.

Seconded. That kind of information in a filter would arguably be more useful than knowing it's rarity considering how big of a bonus using a weapon with the same realm is.

Going for lesser fire to work on the event later today. Better to go classic or elite for the drops? I'm getting minors pretty much only in a few different levels.
If you're in iOS, it takes no time at all to switch it over and kill the process. I think I spent more time just doing the first two rounds of Fabul Castle than it takes to do the airplane method lol

Right,it is very fast to do. The killer is waiting for stamina to refill.
Thundara L2 + jump L2 on kain worked for me

Good lord, Tyro vs Rydia Thundara damage is insane...Rydia = beast mode. Tyro's heals are also p bad. I'm starting to question bringing him to the final two dungeons in Shinra.
Tyro can do and equip everything but has middling stats as the trade off. I've basically dropped him at this point.

I'm thinking of doing the same. I might just really beef up WHM so I can keep her alive. Even without magic boosting armor, she'll heal better than Tyro, haha.
Seriously. Tyro can do everything, but he's just terrible at all things equally. :/ The only real benefit he has over my White Mage is HP, but even then it's almost laughable having him cast Thundara when I could have Rydia do it instead. And his heals are equally terrible. If characters could bring more than 2 abilities into battle I think he'd be much more useful, but as it stands I want to bench him permanently.
Not sure if I can beef myself up to take down the last 15 floors of the Shinra event (I'm also stalled at Hundred Gunner). Might try to get Kain a Jump ability and grind up a bit, but I'm not going to go bonkers over it.
I'm pretty sure I saw someone else mention this earlier, but this won't be our only chance to clear out this event and pick up Sephiroth, will it?
As I understand it,
1) Flick on Airplane mode at any round with the boss fight
2) Fight as usual, when you win and the loot does/doesn't drop, the game will try to reconnect and pop up a "can't connect, try again?" error message
3) If you don't like the drop, switch out of app and kill the app process.
4) Once the app is closed, turn Airplane mode off.
5) Reopen the app - you will get a message saying you can resume boss fight at beginning of round. Go back into the fight, then Flee (this has to be done to reset the loot drop apparently).
6) Restart the boss fight level from beginning, then turn Airplane Mode back on. This will have a chance at dropping different loot.
7) Rinse and repeat. Once you find a loot drop you like, keep the app live and turn Airplane Mode off, then finish the round as usual.
I've only done this a few times, but it did net me one Black Cowl. I'm trying not to excessively grind, but we'll see.
If you're fast enough, actually, you should be able to bypass the whole airplane mode nonsense -- once you see an orb drop instead of the loot from the boss, you have a very slim window of time to hit pause, then flee manually. This is immensely hard to do if there is no orb drop, though, so the Airplane Mode method just gives you a failproof window of reset opportunity since it pauses before finishing the fight.
