1/11 Yuna unique. It wasn't a dupe though, so I guess it could have been worse... theoretically.

2/11 and 2/11 with a 100 gems 5 star
Tidus bsb
Rikku ssb
Red xiii ssb and unique
Sephy ssb (dupe)
So 4 new relics including a bsb for tidus so overall worthwhile pulls for me. I have rikku's bsb and never had relics for red 13.

Pulled on FFX since my synergy there is still fairly weak.
100 gems: Rikku ssb that gives party +ATK/MAG. Completely obsoleted by her usb, but since i don't have her usb this could come in handy for cm's.
1/11: Auron bsb. Getting tired of 1/11, but i remember the 0/11 days and am thankful for G11. This is a new bsb for me, it's my 2nd physical enFire, and it's aoe unlike Refia's so it could have some uses.

Lots of tempting relics on the FF15 banner this week, but I think I'm going to skip pulling on this one and go hard on the Prompto/Aranea banner because all the best stuff recurs.
Iris's LMR doesn't but that's about it.
I'm planning on doing one pull and seeing what I get. Might do a second.
Give me Noctis' LMR and SSB and I would instant legend dive him. He would be such a monster for speed clearing stuff.
I'm gonna keep waiting for FFV. One of my weakest realms and a great banner, just makes sense. I'm actually glad FFIV is being delayed because that banner looks appealing as well.
You guys pulling on these trap banners are crazy, man.
Edit: So after calling people crazy, I pulled anyway because I lack any self control. I got my mythril worth by pulling Tidus' BSB and Rikku's BSB, along with a unique SB for her that's trash, but that's OK. My water team just got beefier, since my Tidus already has his chain.

XII Torment up next. Bring out the AoE vs Mateus and Azers.
Think I'll run
Vaan
Ashe
Relm
OK
Kain
Pretty much the same team I had for Warmech XIII but with Vaan instead of Lightning.

Yeah I'm 1 mote short of completing Y'shtola.
Meanwhile I've completed two Vit/Dex characters, and nearly done with a third.
It's stupid
ETA: FF12 Torment tonight is going to be awesome. My XII squad is ridiculously stacked with great relics. I can't even narrow it down to which 5 characters I want to bring for the CM.
Is there a ranking of characters in regards to rarity? I've got two souls of the hero and would prefer jot wasting them on characters who will be obtainable in future events.
I should be using them to acquire heroes whose relics I have (Bartz and Edgar), but I'd rather use them on characters who won't be available anytime soon.
Also how do you unlock wardrobe records?

Warddrobe records are unlocked the same as the heroes themselves. They just come around once ina while in events.
You can also google a bit and find several different websites showing which events are coming up. Just from only reading this thread, my understanding is that we have FF15 and FF4 events coming up.
There's a list of future events and which characters will be available here:

Dullahan was the easiest yet. These Rebirth bosses should have CMs or something to make them more interesting.

D200 Torment CM. Now I'll all outta stamina. 
The fight took kind of a long time because I took down the Azers one at a time before focusing on Mateus. I don't know how feasible it would be to just ignore adds and go straight for Mateus instead.

I can beat the Jump Start. Just gotta recreate Kirin for Ashe. Sap, next to petrify, is just a bullshit move.

Right on. Focusing on Mateus and ignoring adds made the D250 quick and easy. Runic nullifies A LOT of the incoming damage in this fight. My party was never in any danger.

JS is such bullshit. Better time everything right or you'll lose.

D300 full CM defeated. Another easy one-- my party barely took any damage and I still had a couple of OSBs in my pocket. It's crazy how much tougher the FF3 Jump Start was than some of these others. Luneth is now fully dived.
Quick question for everyone. I have finally gotten in and cleared almost all of the nightmare dungeons, only two of them to go. What I wanted to ask is which of these abilities are high priority to craft. Meltdown seems like a no brainer, Affliction Break seems good, as does Curada and Drevish, but I'd like to collect some feedback before I actually spend crystals on anything. I'm not planning on crafting any abilities until I clear the last two.

You basically hit the worthwhile ones. The only nightmare abilities I've personally crafted are Meltdown, Affliction Break, Omega Drive, and Valigarmanda. I think most players would tell you that Meltdown and Affliction Break are the only true must-haves.
What MCA said.
You nailed the main ones. I made them as I went, and went back and shattered some that are useless or probably will never be used.
Curada not a big deal, but I like it.
Dervish I haven't used yet, but since it got a good size buff recently, I'm looking for an opportunity to try it and make a final decision.
Aflliction Break is a good one, you'll see it used on Raids often.
Meltdown and Valigarmanda are both good since they are Tri-Element. A separate poster recently pointed out to me that Valigarmanda hits the elements that Summoners are somewhat weak on.
I didn't like Northern Cross, Quadrupple Foul, or Crushdown.
I think Overdrive is so-so.
Mastered the d200 ff12 Torment on second try.
I forgot to bring dispel and shellga (oops) but it was ok, I'm pretty stacked here.
Reks - BSB so buffs and CMD 1 Lightning
Penelo - USB and BSB
Vaan - Powerhouse.
Ashe - Lightning BSB
Fran - Lightning Imperil SSB.
RW: Wall, only used it one time.
Focused on only Mateus since forgot dispell/shellga and felt like I needed to burn him down.
Will have to setup better for next one.
Edit:
Got the d250 on second try, also mastered.
This one was nerve-wracking because I decided to go DPS vs. Wall. In fact, 3 people died in the last 2 rounds.
Vaan - Powerhouse
Relm - Last Stand BSB
Fran - Lightning Imperil
Ashe - BSB = all 9999's on entry and cmd with infused, 610 buff, Rapha buff, and breaks.
Rapha - Lightning BSB w/Cure
RW: Alphinaud - He died so fast. Before Deployment Tactics even wore off the first time.
I think Jumpstart going to be pretty easy since I'm loaded on dps. We'll see.
Edit2:
Got JS w/Mastery, with 3 ff12 chars.
Took me about 6 or 7 tries. First 4 or 5 times I was trying to take the Azer's out using Lightning AE.
That almost got it, but on my best run, Mateus was at 20% and I was like, well shit, let's just focus on him again.
Changed team around:
Vaan - Powerhouse. He just used his BSB and Power/Mental Breakdown in a rotation of 4 breaks.
Penelo - Used her only for the medals. Missed not having Last Stand. MultiBreak and BSB.
Tyro - Wall, Backup Heals.
Ashe - Killer. Again with her BSB she was doing insane damage.
Garnet - Lightning BSB1 and BSB2.
RW: Tifa's Radiant Shield (since already had 610 buff from Garnet BSB2)
Also Tyro had Arise, Garnet Shellga, Ashe had dispel.
Was a little harder than expected but since stacked on ff12 gear and lightning, it was nothing like my nightmares with d300 Bahamut.

Beat JS. No mastery...3 and 2 deaths on winning runs. Think they'd not take away medal for actions cuz it goes as quick as possible, no.

Brought Vaan back and took Mog out. Mastery. Everyone standing. 10 more Dex motes! Sitting on a pile of Bravery and Vitality 5 star.

Will be easier when I get 1 more Summon Crystal.
Kain uses his BSB as a SSB for the intense damage(Have him cast wall and then 3 consecutive BSB). Goes into Burst Commands on last cast. Ashe casts BSB and enters AOE Lightning mode which does more damage than her command AoE. Relm single cures until dude casts reflect then she starts casting BSB with CMD2 sprinkled in. Vaan targets Mateus. OK there for the shell, FB and BSB entry.
Lost 2 medals on my mastery run. Lose the Mog AoE but Vaan puts the lost damage from adds into the main dude which is quite useful. Vaan is almost fully dove. Missing 400 HP and slot 2. Was missing 20 ATK as well before but his presence boosted himself getting the extra 10 Dex motes.
Have 4 ice resists and they were all equipped. Don't hit the adds. You need ice resist not sleep resist equipped.
It is. It seemed like it was all at the same time that I could finish d180 events, nightmare, Mote dungeons, and the d200 torments.

Nemesis Apex Mastered.
Thank goodness I found a team that understood the new mechanics of the fight. The first few tries were a struggle.

First try, so close... Infinity difficulty:
With a Alphinaud SSB he would be dead.... Sometimes it felt like we had too many healers. My Rosa did nothing for 2/3 of the battle because medica cmds were enough to heal us back.
Unfortunately the Cloud was soo bad. Only had his BSB2 and that barely did 9k damage with his 4-hit command. Meanwhile my Vaan did 9999 damage with everything. Oh, and we didn't have a constant hastega source. At least the top player was smart enough not to use Shout but most of the time his Ramza was slowed. How about some Slow accessory? You don't need the extra 45Atk for this ...
