FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER
I used almost the same party as Geryon to take on Rubicante because it seemed strong enough and I wasn't in the mood to go through all the menus. The only differences were that Bartz replaced Edge, bringing with him Blizzara Strike and Steal Defense (Steal Power and Shadowblade limit break don't play well together). Cecil replaced Esuna with Curaja, and replaced Barrage RM with Hand of the Victor (which hits for 9999--triggered twice). Tellah used a +Healing RM and gave his Dragon Gloves to Drunk Cecil (who had 508 Attack), and then equipped a Black Robe so I could spread the Resist stat around which Genji Shield has very little of. And Drunk Cecil replaced Armor Break with... I don't even remember. I used Lunatic High as my RW.
This really wasn't an optimal group. It would probably be better with Cecil sporting Lure Magic to deal with Firaga counters, but the real missing ingredient is Stoneskin or Sentinel's Guard, because there's just a lot of damage in general. I still mastered it but Cecil and Tellah were healing way more than attacking and Rosa had to use her group heal twice. I really thought I wasn't going to master it because I wasted so many turns healing. I think a magic party would be the easier route overall, since you avoid the counters. I still think Celes is a good idea to consider, and she's still available even if you go with a mage party since she can equip rods. I think I may try some different party variations to see what is the smoothest, including my original spellblade-heavy idea.
Craze, since you have Tyro's SG he would make a good steal guy for you instead of Edge. You can set him up basically the same way except give him a +magic weapon instead so that Water Veil hits harder. I don't think you need Paladin Cecil either, unless you're unable to field Shellga any other way.

FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER
Well, I decided to use my 50 mythril anyway. And it worked out pretty splendidly. Got two Shadowblades, a Healing Staff, and some red dagger I've already forgotten the name of. Never gotten four 5-star items in a single pull so that's just spectacular, even if I was hoping most for Golbez's armor, Tellah's staff, and Edward's harp... Can never be upset about getting more swords, since Final Fantasy is always about sword users.
I decided to combine my Shadowblades and feed them my Rosetta Stones, since it's my first 5+ item. I have two Kung Fu Gi and two Boon Guns but I kept them separate since I lack armor and weapons in those realms.
I also got a couple important 4-star items: two FF6 Crystal Helms. I always use the one that I have in FF6 content, so being able to fully upgrade it is awesome.
I was kind of wanting to save up and pull twice on FF9 instead, but I guess that's no longer going to happen.
Oh, neat. The limit break on Shadowblade is quite good and is my only +Attack buff. This will probably modify my Rubicante strategy into a physical spellblade one. Maybe Drunk Cecil with Shadowblade and Barrage, Bartz with Dark Sword and Watera Strike/Steal Power, Cecil with Elven Crossbow and Shellga/Curaja plus Hand of the Victor RM, Celes with Blizzara Strike (and her default Magic Shield limit break, +50% Resist for 25 seconds that stacks with everything but Bracing Bash), and Rosa with Healing Staff and Diaga/Magic Breakdown. I don't know yet, but that is sounding pretty decent. Are there any Dragoons or Spellblades that can use Armor Breakdown that I'm not thinking of? I can also swap Rosa for Y'shtola and have Stoneskin instead of a big heal, but I am assuming I will lose damage medals no matter what and would rather have the extra damage from a synergized Diaga. Not sure what I'll do for an RW yet. Maybe Runic to deal with Firaga counters or something.
Holy moley, Drunk Cecil has 471 Attack and that's with a shield equipped--not a helm or bracer. Egged him quite a bit because he only does one thing, and I want him to do that thing really well. Blasted through the boss rush and killed Odin before he could raise his sword, such that I missed the Lightning medals but mastered it anyway. Will have to do the next boss--who I've never even heard of--when I wake up.
Healing Staff actually has pretty respectable Magic on it, and is my highest Magic weapon when accounting for synergy, so I've been using it on Tellah who's filling a true sage role. It's not as Mind/Magic balanced as Thyrus and Lullaby Rod, though. Thyrus's Magic is actually surprising since Y'shtola isn't much of a black mage.
This is my setup for the weird boss I've never heard of. How sick is this synergy? Almost full natural 5-star weapons and armor. Complete overkill and I should've saved mythril for Beatrix.


Full medals on Geryon with the above party. Drunk Cecil was hitting for 4.7k per Barrage hit. Even Rosa was hitting for 5.9k with Magic Breakdown. Hand of the Emperor and the Shadowblade limit break proved an excellent combo. I think FF4 just one-upped FF6 as my strongest record synergy.

Nope, it's "NAT" and thus cannot be avoided by anything.

That's pretty lame. Good thing the final boss of this event isn't an Ultimate Golbez with KO medals then.
I saw on reddit they're releasing some kind of job-like system, so that's neat.
FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER
I think that Black Fang might be physical and can be avoided altogether with Gilgamesh or Tyro via Draw Fire/Retaliate. I haven't tried, though. I just accepted that there were 3 medals I couldn't get because somebody will get KO'd. Unfortunately Rosa's crossbow might bring them back to life, but it still counts as a KO for that medal objective.
Anyway, I am caught up on dungeons again. I have over fifty mythril--barely--that I am going to foolishly blow on Cecil and Golbez. I guess that means I have to do daily dungeons. Last time I cleared all of the elite dungeons we got showered with orb dungeons and Omega so I had things to do.
Eh... Maybe not. FF9 event is sooner than I thought and I really need those items.

How sad is it that I know what FF1 sword you got? I get that damn Defender all of the time. Well, I guess I'm no longer a free player. At least I got good items. Instead of feeling like an asshole I'd probably feel outright ill if I got a bunch of 3-stars again, for wasting money on such a silly thing.
Got Rosa. How obvious is it that she is just Celes with different hair?
Edge seems pretty cool, but I don't have an FF4 weapon for him at all, so I'll try him out later in FF5, FF8, or FF12 where I have daggers he can use.
I think my plan for Rubicante is to run a bunch of mages and Bartz. I sort of want to give Kain my Dark Sword to try out Ice Jump, but then I have to figure out another way to steal Rubi out of his cape stance. I am thinking I'll keep my second Ice Rod, even though I'll only be able to combine it to 3+ that puts it on parity with my Lilith Rod anyway. That way Golbez can drop some Blizzaja and Lure Magic. My Shiva is R5 so that's what Rydia or Yuna will do, with either Blizzaga or a cure spell or something depending on how much damage Rubi can deal. I'll bring Rosa just to use the limit break I've got for her along with Magic Breakdown, and then probably Tellah with Waterja and Shellga or something. That sounds like my plan so far. I've got some decent Fire-resist gear, actually, including Ice Armor for Golbez, Dragon Gloves, and also some fire resist accessory I always forget I've got. I have some other armor but the resist is so low I doubt it's worth the trade.

Bah. 4-star Mesmerize Blade (FF8) and ten 3-star items. I need 14 mythril to pull again, and since this event should provide 10 by itself then it's going to happen. Or do I save for FF9, which is still ugly bad?
Fuck it. I bought a 3000 gem pack because I'm an annoyed sucker. Got two Black Gelt Gi and the Elven Bow. I feel like an asshole.

i missed ultimate exdeath today because of work, whoops. cursed ring was nice but i'll live.
Dude, you have like a week to do these events.
FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER
Hilariously, I accidentally equipped Yuna with Mana Spring 2 and ran out of Quetzalcoatl charges really quickly during the boss rush.
Rotating Sleeping Gas RW in again. Magus Sisters are easy enough but are s complete pushover if asleep. Friend ID is still GDeN.
Sort of dreading Yunalesca.
And you should do Ultimate Exdeath. He's easier than some of the 135+ elites we've been getting lately. He also awards a sick mage relic, that's especially cute on a taunting Golbez.
Nevermind. Yunalesca was a weenie. Used standard Draw Fire/Retaliate/Advance setup to avoid Osmose problems altogether.
I haven't made time to catch up on the last batch of elite dungeons--though I did clear out the FF9 ones. Hopefully between those and the most recent batch I'll be able to get my mythril high enough to pull twice on FF4. Right now I have 71 mythril. I haven't gone through and checked how much mythril the dungeons get me.
If I don't make time to do them or if I can't conjure up enough, I'll only be pulling on the first banner since it hits my weak areas best. I'm already a proud owner of Dark Sword, a product of my very first 5-mythril pull ever, when I had no idea how anything in the game worked, which kept Cecil in my front lines for a very long time. Also got a Genji Shield which is another item for a front-liner. I need mage weapons specifically. Less so in general since Lullaby Rod and Thyrus are tremendously good sage weapons, but specifically I need FF4 mage weapons since that game is loaded with wizards. And getting something like Rosa's bow would be dope, since I could use it on Hair Metal Cecil or Edward or an assortment of other bow users.
God damn do I want to pull on that second banner, though. Cecil, Kane, and Golbez are like the three dopest dudes in the entire Final Fantasy franchise. But last time I went berserk on FF4 I only came out with an FF6 Golden Shield and a dozen FF1 Defender swords for my 150 mythril.
