Yeah, I'm at 325 inventory.
Actually, I think I'll clean up well just by selling all the XII junk.

Well I beat Dreadnought and got my MC2, going to probably go for Red since he's part of my main party. I was a few stars short of mastery though, which I kinda expected. I ended up going for too much mitigation and not enough damage, and was auto-attacking about the last 1/3 of the fight. Lost medals on HP lost and actions taken.
Still, I did what I set out to do, with an entire melee party. Feels good.
Staying strong on these banners. I want to wait until banner 4 and then go a bit nuts. Really want that Valiant Knife and hopefully a Pecil SB weapon finally.
As a sidenote, does anyone know when Balthier gets cap break to 80? Has it happened yet in JP?

The characters who will get MC2s available in the next 4 events are:
FFT - Ramza, Agrias
FF6 - Celes, Shadow, Relm
FF7 - Zack, Reno, Vincent
FF12 - Balthier, Vaan, Penelo
Ok, finally Full Break R2, took me 6 refreshes with no gigantuars but I did it finally. So now just farm without refreshes since I dont give a damn about summons and my only need of ice now is just to hone my lifesiphons to R4, and thats not a must. So now chilling.
Now the game will become boring for some days. Can bonus battles tactics and banner 5 come already???.

Decided to do a 3 pull. Got Organics, Gladius 4* FF9 and some 3* armor I sold.
I'm now 8/36 in SSB Fest. This is sadly the only positive in my life lately.
And since lucky fest I've added 11 new soul breaks from pulls and 1 duplicate item. So that would put me at 12/69.
Hmm. 17.4% soul breaks.

Krile's getting her Beastmaster Wardrobe Record that was found a long time ago, during the Gil BSSB event. I imagine Bartz & Faris will get their Knight and Summoner alts too eventually.

These amazing pulls! Congrats!
They know we use him for Tauntaliate, they know. Put a reflect on him, Retaliate and Saint's cross and gg Ultimates.
Daaaamn yo
Maybe I'll join the club of mythril hoarders after all.
Anyway, I need advice.
I'll have enough mythril for two 11 pulls once banner 5 hits. I have hastega (Mighty Guard) and 30% boostga + Medica (War Dance).
Originally I thought about doing an 11 pull on Tactics and banner 5, but I kind of want to pull on banner 4 now.
I know Scream is amazing, but since I kind of have a similar effect already I'm torn. Especially since there's less chance of getting stuff from the Tactics banner, and I could use a few more damaging SSBs.
What would you guys do? Tactics + Banner 5 or banner 4+5 with a few single or triple pulls on Tactics afterwards?
Scream is just an upgrade of what you already have so I would pass on tactics and try to get Platinum Sword later (it comes back a lot). 4+5 will give you a better spread for synergy but I would focus on 5 if you dont have wall, the next chance is at Yda event but I think Thyrus is worse than SG.

Yeah go for #5 if nothing else - having a native wall just gives you a lot of breathing space. Even if you don't pull it, there are some other great Relics on that banner. I'm pulling on #5 for those rather than SG as I've already got Thyrus.
#4 is a pretty awesome banner too.
Long term I'm trying to cover as many synergies for the Cid Missions as I can and the Celebration Banners are one of the best places to get a good spread of coverage. Tactics looks like its got some super powerful characters and relics for them, but personally i'll skip it and choose Scream as a RW where applicable.

No Welcome Pack for me, s'all good tho. I think.
Finally did the first nightmare ultimate, I have to thanks FFRK JP so we can prepare ourselves way before it hits while knowing the right strategy.
I was kinda dumb though, I was I waiting for meteor/the orb to appear at first instead of attacking and it always reached 120% charge with like 25% HP left, got confused watching the all ninja strategy >.<

Considering the puzzle nature of the Ultima Buster fight I kind of regretted doing the same level of 'research' that I normally do for Ultimates - with the puzzle solved the fight ended up being pretty anticlimactic for me. I may try to avoid any reddit clues for the next one - 1 stam fights are meant to encourage experimentation after all.
I'm super worried I won't be able to beat any of the battles to unlock the MC2s. I've never been able to do it in the past. I just used an MC2 lode for Tyro, and I'm considering using another one for Cloud so I can have two characters to maybe help push me over the edge into being able to win those fights.

I'm basically the same as you. Never even attempted most of the high level battles because it stressed me out. From all the advice I've read/collected, Cloud, Tyro, and Gilgamesh are probably the first three you should get, to help with progress. The first two for the RM's they unlock, and Gilgamesh to get him to level 80 for wiggle room/additional stats on the retaliate strategy.
I unlocked Cloud, Tyro, and Locke, and am sitting on one final MC2 from the Dreadnought nightmare battle, and I'm super torn on burning it on Red XIII - One of my fav characters, Dark Knight Cecil - For the 20% sword damage RM, or Gilgamesh for the level 80 Gilgamesh.
The Spherimorph from the Nightmare Battle wiped the floor with me, so I can't imagine how bad the Dreadnought would be. I guess I just won't get that MC2 lode. I guess I might as well use the 2 I have left on Cloud and Gilgamesh since they're sitting at 65 now because I'm not going to be making any progress otherwise.

Do you know if Tidus' RM stacks without diminishing returns on Lifesyphon? I have been curious about that for a while.
I beat Dreadnought with an all melee party, but I had native Lunatic High, Sentinel Grimoire, Boostga, and Mirage Drive. I would have certainly failed without those. I really dislike bosses that resist/are immune to break/breakdown. Those abilities are basically built for bosses because you never need them on trash, then they make bosses immune to the effects and you're sitting there with tons of orbs tied up for nothing.
My first one was Selphie's. I had to cheat and use a few Mythril. The added 10% Offence worked though.

If bosses didn't resist breakdowns, they'd have to be able to one-shot you without mitigation if they wanted to not be a complete pushover after being hit by a single Breakdown. That, of course, would make getting set up at the start of battles a complete nightmare. Breaks & Breakdowns were absurdly overpowered at the start of the game, and I feel like they've reached a pretty solid point with the current status quo. They make a big enough difference to be worth it (especially stacking Full Break + Breakdown), but not so much that they're strictly mandatory.
Dumb question, but how does augmenting work exactly? From what I understand, if I combine two 5* items it adds an augment level right? So a 1/20 Machine Gun would become a 2/20 yeah? And then let's say I Rosetta Stone it to max, so now it's 20/20, 6*+. Now I pull another Machine Gun and want to 7*++ it. Because I have the augment level maxed, would it still work?
In that case adding a third Machine gun will only affect its max level, you wont gain additional augments.
Anytime you use a 5* native item to upgrade a weapon or a rosetta stone you gain an augment level (with a small chance of additional levels).
Thanks. And what does augmenting do anyway? Just give it a +1 to attack or whatever the main stat is?
Yes.

Don't forget that you get an extra half point for each augment with rs, so a level 20 augment actually gets you +30 stat

Alright question time.
I've allotted myself 150 myths max for the rest of SSB Fest.
I already have the trinity (SG, Quistis SSB, Vanille protectaga medica)
I manage to score Cecil's SSB and Seph's SSB from Lucky Draws and Banner 1(Also where I got Quistis SSB). So my path to Lifesiphon/Shout Meta is almost complete. I need one more SSB.
How should I allocate my myths among banner 3,4,5?
I was thinking 50 on 4 and 100 on 5 but since I already have SG do I really need to spend 100 on 5? Should I just got 50,50,50.
Or skip SSB Fest completely and spend the myths on Relm/Shadow (Already have a ton reserved for FFT). Get a Godly Medica and a Godly SSB.

I would go for shadow SSB and Relm Medica, nice upgrades.
After looking at it more, I think I may use my 3rd MC2 on Tidus just for that RM. Was going to use it on Gilgamesh since he's considered one of the best characters, but Tidus's RM is amazing. I guess I could use my 2nd and 3rd on Tidus and Gilgamesh instead of Cloud and Tidus, but everywhere I've read, people are saying Tyro and Cloud should be your first 2.
Thancred will be quite a bit better once he gets his buff if it helps.

So they had FFRK style sprites for the FFXV characters during that Uncovered event...
