Got another mace of zeus, now I have a 6star. Which is good since Lenna's one of my best characters. Also got two other supers. The ancient lute for sarah, a big heal and haste. And the chocobo brush for Relm, a big heal and major regen. Healing's a little boring, so I'm looking forward to the next draw.
Edit: got the ff2 mc3. The emperor was pretty tough. Hope destroyed him with his bsb though. I've done a few of the special missions. 4, 6, and 9. You just kinda blow through them.

Lucky Relic Draw Round Two!!!
Meh. Got two relics: Reno's Shinra Bombshell (Burst) and Seymour's Robes (Super). At least they aren't dupes...
Good luck on your draw!
Also I swept through all the special missions myself, but at the cost of 95% of my growth eggs, I don't even have enough to get poor Eiko to lvl 99 T_T. Did all the missions in the FF6 event too since I'm not fond of the orbs given in this round of the festival.

My pull was ok. I got four five stars, but two of them were dupes. Got another bsb for both tifa and leon. I did get Ingus' bsb which is great since I desperately needed something for ff3. And I got a super for terra. Cant complain, really. Wouldn't mind a bsb for ff6. I have the osb and a ton of supers/uniques. I don't know if it'd be worth it to level up a bunch of core classes and characters I never use to get a handful of mythril.

'Lucky' Relic Draw Round Three!
AND STOP GETTING MORE RELICS THAN ME! >=[
Sigh, my luck isn't really hot in these lucky draws this week. Only drew 1 relic and got Gabranth's Nightbringer, which is almost the same as Jecht's burst from my last draw from another BSB draw. Not a dupe but still sad, it's the last banner you want to go 1/11 too T_T. Siiiiiiiiigh
Anyways, if you lvl'd Tyro to 99, he can easily solo his own mission with ease. Just give him OP weapons and armour and he's good to go. As for the other characters, maybe or maybe not, some of them has some good Record Materia's like the Black mage. plus they could be a worthwhile investment someday if they ever do another set of missions similar to this.
Anyways, I won't tell you 'good luck', I already know you'll strike gold. Or rainbow in this case =P

I got 1/11 too. Gordon from ff2, a spear that seems like a crappier version of zidane's bsb, a big attack, and the two special moves are attack and defense debuffs. but it also gives the team last stand mode. Which is pretty cool. These three pulls were kinda underwhelming, but I finally got a decent ff3 soul break, and another good ff2 soul break. Looking at the rest of the draws, I'll probably do the first one. It looks the most appealing. Beyond that, I might hold off and do some pulls for ff1, 3, 5, and 11.

Got a hell of a pull from the free anniversary draw. Cloud's osb, squall's osb, a super for celes, and the onion gauntlets.
Forgot about OK's weird mote thing and took him to a 90 stamina fest dungeon, only for him to get killed by a mini cactaur.
Don't know if I'll do this first draw again. Might be worth it for shout and osb dupes.

Agree'd. I'm just hoping that we're only using little of our luck so we can use the rest for the Anniversary Banners.
Speaking of which, in comes the Ultros Banner!
I pulled on it 3 times and got 5 total relics: Onion Sword FF3, Excalibur FF6, Platinum Sword FFT, Wizer Rod FF7, and Healer's Circlet FF14. For me, the biggest prizes was the Platinum Sword and the Healer's Circlet, both very high end items to be had in the game. Tho I don't know how I feel about not getting a single OSB...
Good luck on your free draw!

Well. Like I said, I got Cloud and Sqaull's osbs, a celes ssb, and the onion gauntlets. And that was all from the free draw. I forgot about onion knight's weird properties. So I had to use all my growth eggs, and even my souls-of-heroes and my mc2's to get him to level 99. I'm also short literally one mote for getting 5star support for him. Still have a bunch of missions to do, and I'll probably pull the other draws. I should have about 200 mythril to do the other four. Your luck was kinda weak, but Maybe one of these other pulls will turn it around. I remember all the old ff9 freya draws that my luck was abysmal in. Edit: Oh. We got a ton of stuff today. Including a bunch of 4star motes. So I finished the viking record for ok, now he can do support. And I put a bit more into Freya, her record is almost complete. I also didn't need to cash in that hall of rites stuff, but I never use those. It's more of a pain to turn souls and crystals into eggs one by one. Onion Knight should be a beast now. Edit 2!: I was lurking the ff general on /vg/ and I found a list detailing the special dialogue groups for the beyond fight. Freya only has one, but it's better than nothing. I was sadly expecting her to be forgotten again, and was happy to see at least the one. Take her with Ricard, Kain, and Fang. The rest of the list can be found here. The thread shoud exist archived for a while. boards.4chan.org/vg/thread/172016009i.4cdn.org/vg/1490431404597.pngEdit 3: The first of the five anniversary draws started. I decided to pull on this one twice and the earlier one once more. I got two more celes excaliburs, and made an eight star. Got three maria bsb's and made an eight star of that. That really bosters my ff2 synergy. got two arc white mage robes, giving me an ff3 super heal. And I got Sephiroth's osb. Pretty good. Was hoping for something good for ff4, or any osb dupe. I have a ton of osb's now, but I wanted to see one as a 7 or 8 star. 6 star osb weapons are already stronger than 8 star burst and super weapons already. Now I only have 25 mythril left. I should focus on the rest of these special missions.

I guess you're right. I had great luck when it comes to Freya stuffs, now it's coming abck to haunt me. Guess the devil is making me pay his dues =P
...Also I notice that every time I wish you good luck, you gain a good amount of relics...STOP SUCKING OFF MY LUCK YOU INCUBUS!
Seriously tho, nice haul. Mine is surprisingly similar: I also pulled two times on the first banner and got Arc's Robe, Braska's Summoner Robe, Maria's Bow, and Sephiroth's Katana. Truthfully I was really hoping for Tyro's or even Onion's Armour since I'm not a real fan of ole Sephy and I don't use alot of characters that use katanas.
Also thanks for the update for the special dialogue, I'll have to screen cap it when I get a team ready. Does it matter that the team be placed in any stage of the event? Can I bring a 5th?
I still have mythril left over so I'm gonna wait for the 4th and 5th banner before I spend anymore, they each last for two days. If you spend any on the 2nd or 3rd when i'm not looking, good luck!
And holy CRAP the 160 Difficulty X Record missions are kicking my ass! I can hardly make it past the middle event. I'll have to set my RW to a healer next time I try it again. So many medal requirements too.
Gasp! You haven't fully record dived her? And you call yourself a fan!? HERETIC!!! But yea, I already RD'd her but man I had such a problem with 4* Dexterity motes, I still do too. Is that why you haven't successfully completed her?
EDIT: Got the conversation between our Dragoon friends:
Ricard: A dragoon stands before you! Kain: Someday I hope to be an even finer dragoon than my father. Freya: Then you know we must fight this battle ourselves. Fang: Well, when you put it that way! Ricard: Together, no one will stand in our path!
Fang: Good thing Lady Luck's on our side. Freya: I just want to cherish our time right now. Ricard: I won't rest until you're the finest dragoon. Kain: My father's blood is in me. I know that day will come.

Huh. So they're implying that ff4 kain is actually Ricard's son. I guess the lunarians aren't the only aliens of ff4. You'd figure Freya would have gotten something with the other furries or the other genocide victims. Also, i thought the dialogue was only for the last battle. I wonder if anyone will put them all on youtube. Sephiroth's alright. I gotta admit being a huge fan of the character when I was a kid. He was more "cool" than the other villains, who looked and acted more flamboyant. Sephiroth was more like an evil auron. Had an early day of work so I haven't really played. Yesterday, I just put my new relic characters through the or best to master them. Clearly I'll totally beat the 160 thing my first try. then I'll do all those mote dungeons to strengthen freya even more. Speaking of which, any idea when she gets her 99? Edit: Did both of the trials missions. 90 difficulty is nothing. 160 took me a few restarts. But I managed to champion it, despite missing 9 medals. did a few more of the cid missions.

Indeed, it's quite the revelation. I'm surprised not alot of other people is acting on this. Then again, it would be a tall order to get everyone to hear this.
All in all tho, despite how much they could have added for her, I think they did a very fine job in capturing Freya in the conversation; making her give off the air of eloquence and refinement. It could've been worse, like what they did with Fang. Feels like she got the dog doo end of the stick there. It's a start! But yea, I'm surprised Kimahri wasn't invited to this little shindig. He's the most obscure furry in the FF realms, so sad.
Speaking of which. If I remember correctly, Freya's MC3 was introduced in the Japanese FF10 Event: A Dream Must end, which will arrive in Global around May. Hopefully they stick with that here as well. I can't wait to power her up even more and see her thrash her enemies!
The 160's are definitely a challenge to be sure. Managed to beat it too with the help of a Healer Roaming Warrior (Thank you based cat girl!) and Cloud with his elemental spell blades. So many retries...Oh look! The new X Records missions has opened up....I can't wait....
Also new Banner is open! I'm only gonna do a 100 Gem pull. How about you?
Oh yea, just so you know, if you really like the Onion Knight so far, the FF3 event will feature a banner with ALL OF HIS RELICS! So if you want them, you'll have to grit your teeth and force yourself to save up mythril. The event will start around 2 weeks.

Did the dragon fights. I inadvertently made an all girl team. Lenna and Garnet for healing, Freya and Fran for Range and debuffs, and Lightning for slow. Everything was going fine until Bahamut. Had to restart several times because he spamms megaflare before I could heal. I did end up championing it though. I have almost 50 mythril and was thinking I'd do the one with a bunch of fft relics, or the one with bartz and gilg's osbs. I already have OK's vessel of fate ability, so I'm happy with that.

Decided to pull tonight. Got ten three stars and Bartz' osb. Bit of a let down. Really wanted gilg's or several of the other items. Oh well. Win some, lose some.
Knocked out all the cid missions except tactics. I havent leveled any of those three characters. Hopefully I can scrounge another 50 mythril from the beatrix event and other sources to do the fourth pool.

Tactics Missions is the most easiest of them all, you won't have any trouble! And congrats on getting them. Sadly I don't know of any thing that will give us extra mythril, although the next FF9 event is gonna start tomorrow for 10+ Mythril missions. Hope that gets you enough.
Sorry to hear the crappy result. At least it was an osb instead of a regular, but geez that's rough. I wish you luck on banner 4, I command it!
Pulled twice on the banner myself and had been more luckier than my previous pulls: 2/11 with Noel's Sword (FF13, Bleh, dupe) and Golbez's Rod (FF4, I don't know what to think of this one..) and 3/11 for Laguna's Gun (ff8, hurray another +10 attack for my gunman), Krile's Whip (FF5, woo! Mage boost!), and favorite of all: Gilg's OSB Spear! Finally a weapon for rat waifu...at least until I get FF13's Fang's Banescissor OSB, which has Wind Boost in her realm. I notice that Freya has a En-Wind but no Wind Imperil like Zidane's BSB or a weapon/armour that gives her wind-boost. Usually each character has at least one of each. This gives me hope that her next OSB or BSB2 will feature that at long last. Sorry if it sounded like I'm rubbing it in, I'm not. That's the luck of the draw. Remember, I had craptacular draws earlier ><
What do you do with your 3 and 4 star relics? I just sell all 3 stars and save all 4 stars and forge them until they are 7 star items for synergy.

Pulled once on today's new anniversary banner. 1/11 and only one 4 star. Bleh, this is all YOUR doing isn't it!? YOU HEARTLESS MONSTER! BUT at least I got a Genji Gauntlets, which is what I wanted. With this and Eiko's BSB, your characters will deal much more deadly critical attacks. Unless I need shout more..

After completing every beatrix mission, the orbfest missions, and a bunch of realm missions, I managed to get forty mythril before the fourth phase ended. I did eight pulls. Two three-pulls gave me nothing. then I did a 1-pull and got nothing. Losing hope, I used my last five mythril and got Agrias' bsb! Now I finally have a good soul break for tactics, and that caps off a series of pretty good pulls.
Genji gauntlets is pretty good too. That's a good pull.
I did the betrayal missions. Easy enough. Used Fran, Lightning, Garnet, OK, and Rosa. Don't really have that many good 4, 12, and t characters, and I didn't get the Agrias sword yet. I could probably tackle the main boss at this point. But I might as well do the last one. Then I can use ix characters and fight something sort of related to Burmecia.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, well at least you got something good for your pulls.
I went broke on the last banner myself and pulled 5 times: 1 Garnet's Dagger (Dupe), 1 Mistelteinn, 3 Gigantaxe, 1 Wizard Gloves, 1 Javelin (dupe), and here's the kicker: 4 Blitz Balls (You guessed it! Dupe)! Alas, no OSB in the bunch. Thankfully I'm pretty numb, otherwise I'd really be kicking it. I guess Eiko will have to go without her best moogle friend for a little while longer.
Hope you don't mind if I blame you >=3
Yea I plan to finish the last Record Mission myself before fighting Nemesis himself. Be warned, i heard he has a 99999-damage dealing attack and should bring a 'Last Stand' ability like Minfillia or Relm as a roaming warrior. I don't know which difficulty he uses it on, but better to be safe than sorry!
Also bad news for you: you can't use all FF9 character. Well more importantly: YOU DON'T WANT TO! With every character in your party that shares a realm with one another, Nemesis's stats increases exponentially. So sadly, it'd be wise to use one character from a different realm in your team. I know who I'm keeping tho...
Anyways good luck in your fight against Nemesis! And there's no way in hell I'm touching the last Nemesis battle! The reward isn't worth the stress!

The blitzballs are for Jecht right? He's a cool character. I don't know how much you spent, but getting dupes isn't all bad. You can make some pretty powerful relics. Some of my eight-star weapons are invaluable. Freya's still rocking that bistro fork. Sorry you didn't get what you were looking for. What was Eiko's thing? I didn't really look at it.
I'll keep all that info in mind. Thanks for the heads up. I did the last of the five missions just now with Freya, Zidane, Garnet, Eiko, and OK. Zipped through that. Out of stamina so I'll start with nemesis tomorrow. I have a few reraise/last stand relics so I'll see what I can do. I'll try to use Freya for the easiest one and then I'll probably stick to my level 99 characters for the harder ones.

I spent all I had; 250 Mythrils. And yea, I agree that dupes aren't bad. Just wish the items were more commonly used. Don't see many characters using axes and balls =P
I'm not crying over it mind you, I had some good pulls and bad pulls, this will definitely rank as the worst. I'm sure the pendulum will swing my way soon once the next 'Extreme Fest' comes up in 3 months. Also to note that the next Japan FF9 event will start around late May/early June, don't know what characters will be highlighted in it but keep your fingers crossed!
Also Eiko's thing was Lamia's Flute; A USB that instantly heals alot, casts hastaga and last stand. Doesn't sound great on paper, I just wanted to complete her. Or at least get Zidane's OSB for easy green farming. Cest la' vie!

Ok. Yesterday I had work and then was out with a friend.
Today I did the first two purple missions for the beatrix thing. My ix synergy is so stacked that they were both a breeze. Would have done the third one, but tiamat absorbs wind so that would neuter Freya and Zidane.
Then I did the beyond omega bosses. The first one was easy enough. I used Freya, OK, Lenna, Lighting, and Leon. Then I tried the second one. First I tried Garnet, Lightning, Leon, Lenna, and OK. Tried that a few times. But the damage would always outpace my healers by halfway or so. So I went back and tried Rosa, Lenna, Zidane, Lightning, and OK. Had to give Rosa all my eggs to get her to 95, and filled all of her 3star motes. Rosa was good because she had a big heal bsb that let her heal more, similar to eiko, but a bit less squishy. And I needed zidane, so the ff9 girls were out. I did end up using eiko with her reraise heal as my rw. With all the buffs and debuffs I had, I really only had to worry about the armageddon move. The reraise ended up helping in the end and I lost Lenna, but Lightning's osb actually really came in handy.
How have you fared? Arent you enticed by that shiny 500000 gil to do the hardest one? :D
Edit: Oh. One extra little thing is that haste is a good spell to bring. The boss will slow you a lot with a multihit attack, and it will probably be more than just using bsb's or hastega soul breaks can mitigate. Having even one of you healers slowed is a death sentence. I gave it to onion knight so Rosa and Lenna could focus on healing and defense.
Update: After the event boss, I finally did a couple mote bosses. The xiii one and the iii one. And I got enough 4star motes to finish Freya's record. So now I'm just waiting on her level 99.
All these new relics and crystals really did a lot to bolster my teams.
The world of Final Fantasy event started. Have you ever played that game? I have it, and it was cute, but I dropped it for other games after not too long. Not enough cute rat girls.
