FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER

Oh yeah, selling growth eggs is not a good call. After one orbfest you'll never hurt for gold ever again, while growth eggs are something you'll be hurting for all the time with the huge amount of characters in the game.

Interesting how much getting a good relic can change up your whole party's dynamic. And how much not getting one has had me hoard all of my Orbs, 2-Star and 3-Star relics so I can just upgrade them. Of course you rekt Seymour cause your party is full of beefcakes!

If you're having problems with money Leapfrog, then keep running the final level of the weekend cactuar orbfests (the orb level not the upgrade materials one.) I would usually never get higher than 400,000 Gil and would always be hurting. Last weekend I got up to 2 million and I've never had less than 1,800,000 even after upgrading, honing, and egging almost everything in my inventory. I would say selling almost anything is detrimental in this game.

I know but it's gonna pay off shortly! Starting like, tomorrow almost!

Yeah, I haven't felt the need to actually use growth eggs yet, but selling them seems to be not very worthwhile now that I'm dealing with much higher amounts of gil. I guess I'll start holding onto them.

Uh... Not much to this anniversary event, eh? Maybe the second part is better. Cloud's stupid costume comes out tomorrow evening as well. I don't really want anything on that banner except for the sword, so I plan on skipping it, but it might be hard to resist pulling on that sword since I've got a decent mythril stash accumulating.

You can resist!

I've struggling to recover from overspending on FF6 and then succumbing to a bunch of smaller pulls on FF5 and FFX, so I'm also skipping this FF7 one. And reluctantly giving up on X despite no blitzball.

I'd like Cloud's new sword or something decent for Nanaki, but it seems much better to wait.

I'm also hurting for a good fist weapon, but I did get the Electrostatic Rod (Reno) and Yoshiyuki (Sephiroth) last FF7 event, so I feel like I should be spreading my synergies out and holding out for other banners.

Speaking of which, I haven't been paying too much attention to soul breaks before now, but now that the difficulty is increasing I'm starting to need to use characters I have relics for. Beatrix, Golbez and Sephiroth, with their multi-hit SBs, are really helping out.

Once I get him to level 50 (he's at 45) Dark Cecil is going to be my first character with a unique soul break (Darkness) AND a broken cap, so he'll probably be my MVP for a while.

As much as I dislike the RNG stopping me from getting relics for characters I like (PCecil, Nanaki), I do really enjoy how it pushes my play style in directions it might not taken otherwise.

This isn't the anniversary event. That will be in march. This Goldor thing is part of the 10 million downloads event, and it's going on right now for both versions of the gae.

Still dumb.

Unlocked Red XIII's and Cid's record materia during the new event. All that remain are Gladiator and Yuna.

Annoyingly, my last Hand of the Emperor RW just got replaced by a Fenrir Overdrive. My second-to-last was replaced during the last FF7 event by Landscaper (which I unfollowed during the FF10 event, hoping that the user would change back after Yuffie was over, but nope). I'll probably never be able find a new HotE, which is why I need my own at some point.

Using Sunday to level up some FF8 characters for next week, since my FF7 dudes are already really strong. While I was at it, I checked my synergy and I won't be pulling on FF8, though the banners are quite good I need to save mythril. My synergy is excellent, though, but I forget about it because they're almost all generic items. I've got two 5-star swords, a 5-star dagger, two 5-star guns (one of which is for Irvine), a 5-star light armor, and a 5-star bracers with group-Cura on them. So I'll be just fine. I don't think I've even used the Betrayal Sword yet... Is this the first FF8 event we've had since the beginner's choice banner was released? That's where I got this sword.

I just pulled a 5* again. Finally. That's one 5* in 33 relics, blegh. At least that poleaxe is pretty good. I didn't have any 5* spears yet, and confu chance is always nice. Also Faris can use it. Unfortunately, I pulled my fourth FFVI Crystal Helmet, meaning I pulled my first useless 4*.

This event definitely has the most interesting set of dungeons of any event in an extremely long time. I rewatched Advent Children a few months ago. It's really nice that they created new boss fights based on the movie instead of just reusing FF7 bosses.

Just sort of disappointed I can't actually experience any of them, because even on elite mode they all die before they get two turns.

With the way Yuna is setup, there's no reason she can't be swapped for Tyro, but I think she's setup really weird in general and I dislike it. However potent you think Healer and that Salvation are, it'd be way better to have Sentinel's Guard and then a healing RW with an extra effect, like +Attack or Haste or whatever.

I'm approaching 100 mythril soon. Apparently when Japan got the lucky draws, they were also gifted enough mythril to cover all three of them, so I'm just going to assume it'll be the same for us, meaning I don't need to include it in my projections. FFT is the fifth event from now, meaning there will be at least 50 mythril available for that. Then 20 more event mythril up until the Relm event, plus at least 30 mythril from log in bonuses. So I should have no issues doing an 11-pull on FF2, FFT, FF6 (going for Celes's new Runic or any mage gear), and one SSB banner whenever that happens.

I might try doing Ultimate Bahamut Sin without Stoneskin, and maybe bring Tifa back out of retirement since I haven't used her in awhile. We'll see.

I did the elites yesterday. Hopefully there's something interesting this week, because if you paid attention to the announcement then you'll see that the bonus battles are still several days away.

I've fallen way behind on Ice and especially Non-Elemental orbs because I honed Valefor and Maduin to R4, and also honed Flare up to R3. Additionally, I haven't been hitting my daily much for those because of event and orbfest timing. Unless some new 5-star summon is released at some point, I'll probably end up crafting Odin because I have excess Dark Orbs and not enough Non-Elemental for Bahamut, but I think both are a ways off for me. Obviously I'm always behind on Black Power--especially Power--but so is everybody else, so that's normal.

If Sentinel's Guard appears on one of the SSB banners, then there's a good chance that'll be the one I pull on so long as the other items on it are also useful for me. You have no idea how much I envy your SG. Charging up a Stoneskin can be pretty dangerous when Y'shtola is also my primary healer, since there have been so many events where a boss drops a fat nuke immediately after Ultimate Dispel. As long as I have a synergized mage weapon, I'm able to bring Yuna as a nuker and still have a fat group heal to cover that problem, but it's not worth bringing her if her summons are only going to do 5k or less damage. Plus, Tyro is such a great gap filler that I use him pretty often even without a great limit break, having SG would make it even easier to bring him along.

As bad as Tyro's stats are, when he's under the effects of Drunk Cecil's Boostga he's over the Attack soft cap anyway, and if he's healing with Curaja he doesn't need vast amounts of Mind. Tyro has the stat that matters most, though, and that's HP. Once you've got your mitigation up, HP scales way better than Defense/Resist, not that his defensive stats are much worse than your usual support or mage anyway.

Actually, I just read on reddit that the Abyss dungeons all have a 25-mythril banner that has relics for every synergized character, which always includes Tyro. This means that every Abyss banner, so far, has included Sentinel Grimoire, so I'll probably skip that SSB banner unless it has doper items on it than the others.
