I really wish Gung-Ho was less biased....just skipping green how does that even make sense ? The next green mp card better be some OP waifu and not some overpriced token utility sub.

To punish green for the attacker prong meta that helped push the game to power creep hell~
Maybe they'll come up with a non-4G flower for Green, but if I would skip one it would've been Dark (and with the card they gave us they might as well have skipped it).
Light XM looks neat, but no RCV multiplier means he'll likely sit in the same box as the Blue leader. An interesting lead that can't reach true greatness.

When the HELL is ADQXQ coming!. She will be hypermaxed instantly. Been working on getting her team ready.
I dont know if you are joking but honestly i feel its the case...they kinda messed up for a short time with all those green TPA units, GZL Boost and Bastet benefiting from them....feels like we have to suffer now because the Gung-Ho didnt have better solutions than just slapping TPA awakenings on every green card for a while.
Only been out for a month in Japan so probably still 2-3 weeks for us - probably getting the Desc Boos Uevos before that as well. Need that Aamir Uevo.

Off of that page, the "Notes" on the collab machine is worth a chuckle:
GungHo said:
That's... new, if not completely obvious for vets. Must be part of their "revamp" to be more casual friendly, per their last quarterly financial statements.
Also... no limit on the number of pulls on the machine? Yeah, right....
The last one must be in reference to the Japan gacha issues. As suspected on other boards, it appears that any clarifications to drop rates for gachas will remain Japan only.
Those notes have been on special REMs for a bit at least. I know the Bleach REM had it for instance.

According to PADX:
3x XP chance + 3x Skillup chance
10x Descends
10 days of gift dungeons -> tamadra + clear stone
Half price latents in MP shop
Fat Chocobo gift dungeon
What appears to be missing:
No daily mail gift (probably because of gift dungeons)
No drop bonus in coin dungeons (if so, RIP Tengu farming in coins)

Must of missed it then on that one. First time I had ever seen such language on an NA collab.
Looking at the machine... 14/19 gold eggs?
5 * 1% for 6 stars = 5%
9 * 5% for 5 stars = 45%
5 * 10% for 4 stars = 50%
That seems about right? What were the rates on JP?
Food for thought:
FF Collab 1 landed in NA on 11/2/15-11/15/15, immediately proceeding PCGF when the collab ended.
FF Collab 2 lands in NA on 5/16/16 -5/29/16. The first half of the year PCGF in NA last year was on 5/31/15.
History would seem to be repeating itself on the NA server....
But that creep passed wood by a long time ago, other than Astaroth and her very specific subs green has been screwed. I'm not mad as I have a great fire and dark box, with good light potential. But... I have a lot of nice green cards I would like a leader for them some day.
That feels like such a long time ago lol things change really quick with this game.
I'm getting really lucky with all these castor skill up drops. Hoping I have the same luck tomorrow with 3x.

It's funny because aside from that blip of 2 prong frenzy, green has been the worst color of the bunch.
Did we glean any new info from those gacha laws regarding rates?
I feel like Blue and Green have always traded that distinction back and forth. Blue has only stayed better in Japan because of the existence of Baggi Cat.
The funny thing is the more these colors get neglected by Gungho the more I'm willing to invest in them.
They won't get me. Units like GZL not getting a Uevo while they keep announcing shitty looking Gfe is quite the offense though lol.
The funny thing is, Green has always seemed like it had potential. It has a ton of cool individual pieces, but they never mesh into a whole squad. A. Astaroth has managed to do some work, but that feels more like a happy accident of subs rather than a well supported thing.
Maybe Awoken Perseus will do something. The problem is, you know that GH is going to make him enhance Balanced types and that's going to be a death knell unless they release a whole host of balanced row subs with him.
Looks like we are getting Challenge Desc. 11 tomorrow as well... looks nice as in 10 Pys to get.
Which makes it even worse... after all those nice green row subs we have been waiting for kickass leader but Asty while nice has a very limited subplot and Perseus just isn't food enough without hp and/or rcv multiplier.
As you said Astaroth looks more like a accident so we can be lucky to have some kind of a top tier leader right now. Otherwise it would be even worse for green leads.

So with all four gentlemen announced, I think I'll be saving for You Yu. No Uriel precludes Xiang Mei, the low rcv of a chrys team plus orb hunger puts me off there, lets not discuss Plum. I have subs that work with You Yu since all he really needs is orbs. Between rukia, scheat, nut, b valk, a. Karin, and sumire I'm sure I can cobble together a team that will still wreck face.
Yeah that's all he really needs, if you ever pull a Hermes, replace Karin with awoken Hermes. Full board changers can be risky due to sometimes there will end up no blue enhanced orbs.
EU version is getting a special bundle deal starting tomorrow for 10 million downloads. We should get the same deal for $5.

Yeah...we should get along nicely in the future :-D
I already was a big fan of Sara...You Yu is like here times 10 - wasnt able to get Rukia but playing with YY will be great. Would be nice if i could pull Skuld or Scheat though.
Welcome back.OK, starting to remember how to play.
My friends list was all people who haven't played in 600+ days, so I've purged that.
Now I need friends
If anyone has room, ID is 327,695,248.
Those penguin things still good for leveling monsters? And I should evolve them first?
We still have a Gaffer Google Doc table in the OP - so you its probably best if you just start filling your friendlist that way and look for compatible leaders.
Looking at my blue box for You Yu. I have a max skilled Valk and Nut which should be great at 5 and 4 CDs. I suppose I'll awaken my Orochi for situational and his HPs. Then the only other good cards I have for him are Karin, two Gabriels, and awoken I&I (he doesn't need any extra burst).
I'll probably run Valk, Nut, Gabriel, flex. 2 Gabriels might be nice with 4000 auto heal per turn. I'll run this jank team until I pull a Hermes or Scheat I suppose.
Oh and that deal posted above is great, that's the only time I spent money on my JP account when they had that deal. I will definitely but it again here.

It's only taken 11 tries and 1100 stam to get Lord Zaerog to spawn with light absorb shield, only team I have that could clear it was A.Pandora.
Never spent any money on this but will defo buy that deal if it comes to US,
Still not sure why PAD has never had an EU release on android

I don't believe so. The developing situation seems to be more along the lines of "full disclosure" without actually disclosing anything truly relevant that anyone who has played the game for awhile already knows. It is a common problem with self-regulated industries.
Last I had heard, there was some rumblings about being required to mark rare/ultra rare cards in gachas, but anyone who has more than a passing interest in PAD knows that cards with higher numbers of stars in their base form are going to be rare/ultra rare anyways. There is significant resistance to actually posting hard numbers, as that is seemingly being pushed as the equivalent of "trade secrets" and would ruin companies.
Hence the comments I made above about the FF Collab gacha page in NA. That is good example of a whole lot of words meaning almost nothing in reality to anyone with a passable knowledge of PAD.
Interesting bundle. Bargain REM seems kinda meh at best, but the 10,000 points and 10 Stones make that a good deal.
I like the bargain rem, it's a free roll without silvers or troll golds.

Looks like any pantheon god, except for Constellation 2 series.
Might have to see if I have scrounged up enough survey credits for this.
I'm kinda waffling on MP dragons, Do I have the subs to run shiva dragon, or should I wait to see what the PCGF brings before making a decision? A. Sakuya is getting a bit stale, so any other team suggestions would be good too. (Alternatively, how bad an idea is Ra dragon with only one D Kali, subbing like the fat chocobo for the 2nd one?)

If your goal is to replace your top descend team, I'd wait to grab one. ShivaDra is a great farm card, but he's a farm card. His top tier capability is limited.
I also wouldn't recommend a RaDrag team with 1x D. Kali. The awakenings and stats you'd lose going to Chocobo would really super hinder your top rank capability.
Looking at your box, you have the beginnings of a few great squads. If you pull another D. Kali (and ideally a long menace user like Exa-Hydra or Orochi to skill inherit), you'll have a killer RaDra team. RaDra/D.Kali/D.Kali/Isis/A.Ama/RaDra can tackle so much content. Especially when you've already got good shields like Indra to skill inherit.
You've got the core of a great A. Panda squad in Panda and Akechi. You're going to need a good chunk of cards to finish (Zuoh, another Panda and a short CD orb change. Ideally D. Valk, but Hanzo works too), but none of those are as rare as D. Kali and you might find that team up and running before you pull her.
A final option would be Xiang Mei. You only have one of her key subs in Uriel, but if you were to pull at least a Gadius, she might be worth your time. She's so damn strong. If you were willing to invest stones into farming MP and buying 2x of her instead of pulling once you got Gadius at least, she'll be a real monster. Ideally you'd want another Uriel as well, but you could make it work with the core 3.
I think what I'm trying to say is, wait and keep pulling. There are a lot better uses for your MP given you've already got some very workable farm squads.

Bargain pull was a dupe Ganesha... Guess I might be able to use it for skill inheritance.
This was me a couple months ago.
I am such an idiot. I just pulled the entire Xiang Mei team in 4 rolls and I wasn't impressed and sold Red Ridinghood.
I got a second Krishna. If I need unlimited red skyfall that's an option for now. Here's hoping he gets an ult soonish.
I burned about 350 stamina on challenge Z8. I keep choking on the 6 combo shield. I do fine up to that point, I don't know what it is about the pressure there but without fail I lock up when I get to that stage.
I'll get back to it later. I have no pressing need of shynpys but I do want that pal point mail in the event we ever get the +egg pal machine. I'm glad we're getting decent rewards for this. That said I think I'll skill Wadatsumi and Kaguya-hime no awoken skills messes with me too much and it's not as much fun since it invalidates a lot of leader skills (Row leads, TPA leads x+ enhanced leads) and stalling for actives at the beginning is a pain in the ass, especially if orb trolled.

I asked the same question. Uriel is a key sub because, he's on type, makes fire and hearts, is more controllable than Gadius (you know how many light/dark orbs are on the board) and probably most importantly, combos PERFECTLY with Gadius for a spike board for XM. That's why the suggested comp is 3 XM, 1 gad, 2 uriel, or sub a XM for Red Riding Hood if binding is a concern (plus hearts from orbs uriel doesn't touch). Believe me if I had a Uriel I'd buy her in a second but her utility drops (still amazing but not toppest of tiers) without him.
That's ok I went 0/15 on zuoh skill ups. Misery loves company.

I made out pretty well by comparison:
Urd 3/15
Verdandi 5/~10
Gadius 3/9
