CloseBecause there's no second FFT banner, I have no idea when the bonus battles are supposed to happen. Tomorrow, maybe?
Reddit's suggesting the 8th, Jude.
Cecil: I'd wait until bonus battles hit to see if DeNA descides to compensate us a bit. How much are you planning to drop on the banner? If it's 50 or fewer myth, just do it. If you're planning on spending money.... I... wouldn't. And any more myth than that, identify which relics you'd really like to have. Like all SSBs so far, Platinum Sword is 1% (it didn't get halved, only the normal SBs did). If you can handle having a good... 4-5% smaller chance at drawing an FFT item, then go for it. (I wouldn't.)
Note that the 5* rate did NOT change (otherwise I would be as livid as some of the people on reddit, to be sure). It's just the chance that you get a non-SSB FFT relic, compared to any off-banner 5*, that is lowered.

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

On the contrary, I'd suggest that this is an EXCELLENT time to buy stuff, specifically because DeNA might compensate us. If you buy anything right now, there's a chance they'll partially refund you but let you keep the items you get.
I mean, they almost certainly won't, in my opinion, since they've yet to compensate US players for any other errors, but a lot of people seem to think there's a chance.
Compensation or not, they're definitely not going to change this banner. But they might change all future banners back to having the normal drop rates, which would mean that FFT items will never be obtainable again. Hopefully this is a permanent change, so we can keep getting FFT items forever, but if enough fucking idiots complain they'll cave in.

i save up for specific banners because i want what's on them. that's the whole point of the banner system. if it was an added 2% chance (raising the total chance to draw a 5* from 12~ to 14~%) then I would love it, of course, but... I don't want the featured stuff to have a 1% drop rate. =|
if you want a mess of equipment, wait for the monthly lucky draws we'll be getting from the third nightmare record on.

My 11-pull netted me two 5* bracers and the 5* FFT chameleon robe. No FFT weapons and/or SB equipment, but seeing how much I've been lacking in 5* armor, I ain't even mad. This definitely will help my team stay alive better.
Edit: Nice, my daily draws have paid off.

Nice pull Jeroen =) May you heal strong through the upcoming Vincent event ~
We have some hopeful news on the DeNA front. Some of their customer support emails are saying that they're thinking about publishing item drop rates in the future.

Wowza. I've pulled the daily draw every day for a year+ and I think I got a three-star once or twice, and that's it.
Ugh, I keep scraping together 5 mythril in hopes of a Charlie Bucket style Hail Mary of a single pull from this banner. I swore I wouldn't buy gems just for this stupid sword, though.

Have to redo Belias. Beat him, but didn't get mastery because Yuna and Y'shtola died. I did it without Shellga/Protectga and Y'shtola got off her Stoneskin right before dying. So, yeah, don't follow my example and actually bring some mitigation. I think Protectga is optional if you can drop an early Blind on Belias, who can hit everybody quite hard with a group Attack, but Edgar was slow to the punch.
Mastery party:
Been using these guys a lot lately, since they're so good at doing group-wide damage while dropping important status ailments.
Made a few small tweaks, and one big one to my timing. The most important thing was not pushing Belias into his weak phase until I had enough meter for Stoneskin. Cyclops is a real mother and even with Shellga up it still hits for 3k, though you can probably weaken that with Magic Breakdown if you can slot it.
Belias didn't really use his status conditions the first time I fought him, except for a single confusion, so I replaced Y'shtola's Esuna with Shellga to help mitigate some of the damage from Titan and Archdemon's Unholy.
Archdemons don't use their worst spell at full HP, so I focused on getting Belias Blinded before I started doing the AoE. Edgar failed his Blind Shell again, but Locke got lucky and picked up the slack. Reminder: Machinist Shells can be used from the backrow, which might help avoid some of the Attack damage from the Archdemons early on.
Archdemons die with the following: Alexander x2, Flashing Blade, Bio Blaster, and Mirage Dive, so they aren't around for very long. If you've got a group-wide SSB, consider opening with that. Speaking of Bio Blaster... I discovered that it does not have a 100% Poison rate, contrary to my previous successes with it, so I gave Edgar Venom Shell instead of Banishing Strike. Archdemons die before he can use it anyway, and Machinist Shells do more damage than Banishing Strike (and Pound, for that matter) once the status is inflicted.
Shout was enough for Black Materia to do 9k per hit, due to Dragoon's Determination and Sephiroth's absurd innate Attack power.
There was enough damage that Yuna needed to cast Hymn of the Fayth, and fortunately the holy damage against the Archdemons helped generate some extra meter. Double White never activated and Holy was only hitting for 8.8k, so I should've used +Holy damage instead.
Anyway, I've got like 41 Mythril right now, so I'll have enough to pull on Relm 2, but I've decided to save it for Basch 1 afterall. Sorry, Celes.

deltree you already got a sick agrias relic, y u over it
and yeah, i plan on bringing edgar today. he gives me so damn much utility. i'm glad i got his relics AFTER machinist came out, though -- otherwise i probably would have forgotten about him.
good to know i can use him in the back row. i honed poison shell to R3 this morning for gafgarrion (blind shell was already R3) so... how convenient. i love the animations on the shell abilities too, they make even zidane look badass
interesting that belias only uses status effects pre-weak phase. i'll probably just shove my esuna robe on somebody in case of emergency.
alexander i haven't made yet because i was told we get free alex soonish. hopefully that's true, i'll start looking on the spreadsheets i guess.

Beat it after some s/l's where the Archaeodemons got feisty. Only Expert, though. I bet I could Master it with Mog instead of Yuna -- the medica was useless after the Archaedemons were killed, so I'd rather have the boostga. (I lost 1 actions medal and 2 damage medals, which I don't think I'd be able to NOT lose.) We'll see if I care enough.
Used Fran/Edgar/Pecil/Yuna/Tyro. Saint Cross/Saint's Fall did serious work early on, so good job Pecil. I actually had no AoE except Bioblaster, but it went okay anyway.

Damn, I can't even get Wiegraf halfway before he brutally murders me. Even with Power Breakdown and Protectga, his special attacks still deal almost 2000 damage.
Why do they have a MC2 on a 120 battle, anyway? They're always on the 110 battles.

Because they also had to hand out mythril. It's a very screwy event.
If you're having trouble with Wiegraf 120, make sure you bring Slow. Don't bother with Draw Fire since he has some NAT attacks. I highly recommend stacking DEF somehow, such as Protectga + <SG, SS2, HotE, Drill>. Magic isn't that useful here unless you don't have the hones for a proper physical party yet, and he'll jump back soon after withdrawing so ranged attacks really aren't necessary. Grab a White Mage that can use Boost or whatever the bard skill is, such as Yuna, Y'shtola, or Eiko.
Here's my setup for Belias. I used basically the same party for all the bonus battles (except Lightning over Tyro for Gaf/Wie). Still not sure if Mog would save my action count over Yuna (while letting me survive Archaeodemons).

Gafgarion keeps wiping my face off. I either can't survive, or can't do enough damage to kill him before all my shite runs out, even with SG or SS2 roamers.
Guess I wont be getting any RM2's this time.

Never bothered looking at this before...
Edit: not that it matters. I'm low level, and probably quitting when I finish the story.
