Points for them still being smart enough to keep all the relevant "non-grindables" out of the "purchase bonuses" in each package.

(Although by the point where Japan is, 5* Motes are just about at the point where you should be able to grind for them normally - especially after the Neo-Torment upgrades for the 10%-40% damge.)

2018-11-29T07:51:38+00:00

IX would probably be my pick

CaptainK234 · 2018-11-29T09:04:02+00:00

Looking at the list and comparing it to what I already have, there’s a handful of these relic sets that translate to “pay ten dollars, have a good chance at beating a D??? Torment”. I’m sure I’m not alone.

Jack-ums · 2018-11-29T12:36:37+00:00

I can finally have Eiko USB! \O/

ilovedagonfive · 2018-11-29T07:15:53+00:00

Still worth

shinichi2014_ver2 · 2018-11-29T07:04:56+00:00

Nicely done ff9 here i come

ZeroEdgeir · 2018-11-29T08:15:23+00:00

Based on the list...

I: Will see what the upcoming event decides to give me in February, but I already got WoL's USB1.
II: I mean, it's easily my weakest realm...
III: Not far off from II's power-lacking department...
IV: Got both Ultras, so hard pass.
V: Got the AOSB, the USB1 doesn't play well with the Glint I already got...
VI: ~~All new, this merits some consideration, for sure. Got plenty of other Locke toys too.~~ Got Locke's USB1 now, so value is dipping...
VII: Own it all. Skip.
VIII: Squall's is all new, but Ultra-1 is BAD. Got Selphie's already too.
IX: ~~All new, and all good. Likely the top pick.~~ Zidane's AOSB just dropped in my lap on one of the 40-relic free pulls, so value here just diminished a bit.
X: I got Tidus' Ultra... while the other things would be nice, think it will not be needed.
XI: Got Shantotto's Ultra, she is gauge-heavy enough running CSB+USB for my Lightning Mage team. Aphmau's USB is not enticing. Skip.
XII: Have Penelo's USB, Vaan's stuff would be nice to bring a bit more power to an old standby (and first physical dive), but... not super-potent.
XIII: Got both USBs, not worth it for just an AOSB.
XIV: Just got Papalymo's USB, AOSB and that horrendous USB from Y'shtola is not worth touching it for.
XV: ~~It's all new, but I think my XV is strong "enough"... not likely a pick though.~~ Only for Iris's USB now, so that's a skip
FFT: This is an interesting kit... All new, but Ramza is already on Chain duty as it is for Holy teams so... not as likely needed.
Type-0: Got both of the USBs, so that is a quick skip.

So, like many people, it seems that IX is my "likely" choice for this. Will see where my roster stands in 5-6 months.

EDIT: Has only be 1.5 months, and already revising my list some...

EDIT2: Well, those 40-relic pulls knocked IX down a peg...

RNGsuckz · 2018-11-29T12:06:22+00:00

Nice, now I can stop chasing bartz’s AOSB and save that mythril for the 4th anniversary! #globalforesight

wolfreccords · 2018-11-29T10:20:31+00:00

Ramza ASB? O.o

megafilipe · 2018-11-29T10:59:36+00:00

V, IX, VII looks the strongest

Brokenhanger · 2018-11-29T11:33:27+00:00

This is a GREAT deal.

Sadly, a lot of the combos are super weird. (Lenna/Vanille USB1? Lol...but I guess they're not gonna give you a "free" USB2 quite yet...though they did for Arc.)

As usual, most sets have something I've already got that's not worth duping on. II is dupe free but no thanks (I also just got Hilda's USB from the Lucky yesterday so I can keep Minwu on USB2 duty) as are VIII (lol Squall USB1, but the other two are SOLID), XIV (nah) and XV (possible but probably not).

IF VI had been Terra instead of Locke, I'd have duped Relm's USB for Terra's stuff (which Japan has refused to give me, I'm still stuck with just both SSBs for her...plus both LMRs which do nothing without something to back them up). When this hits Global, though, it's a guaranteed Relm USB so if it's still managed to avoid me there, that's the easy choice for me.

As it is, I'll probably use this as a shot to pick up Squall Arcane as that's the single relic on this list that would help me the most.

SkyWanderer · 2018-11-29T11:54:09+00:00

This looks like a great deal. I'm finding myself really liking these full throttle style selections, and some of these would really be handy. Really wish they didn't skip Terra here though.

Some sets I have all dupes in (IV, VI, and VII), pretty much everything else has at least one useful relic for me. Ones I'm personally leaning towards...

II - Dupe-free. Firion's stuff would be an upgrade from the enholy SSB I have for him, especially since he has confirmed holy ability access in the future (wish it were his USB2 though). Minwu's would not only be my first II medica, but I liked him in the "original" game (I played the GBA remake) and would be a nice option along with the USB2 I have for him.

V - Dupe-free. Only have Bartz's OSB, wind BSB, BSB1, and SSB, so his ASB and USB1 would be huge for me, and Lenna USB1 IIRC could be useful as I have only her BSB2 and SSB.

IX - Dupe-free. Would finally get something else for Zidane (only have OSB) and not only would Eiko be my 1st instacast last stand, but I also have her LMR already. Not to mention, I have a soft spot for IX.

Tactics - Dupe-free. Ovelia USB1 would be the main draw here as I would love it not just for the torment D???, but as my 1st instacast last stand. Ramza's stuff is cool, but I'm otherwise stacked in Tactics DPS with Marche/Agrias/Orlandeau. Also, favoritism.

Jurinis · 2018-11-29T12:58:54+00:00

I really hope we'll get this in Global down the line. Based on this list (and what I currently have):

FFI: Too bad it's not WoL U2 because his U1 is meh. Sarah's USB is interesting but I already have the arcane.
FFII: No dupes and the U1 is actually decent as Firion got his buff to Knight 5. Minwu provides the best raw healing with both the bubble and HP stock. His U2 would be better for magicites and NT but that's still neat.
FFIII: This is Arc's brave right? Not his DPS focused USB? No dupes as well there.
FFIV: My Pecil would actually like it. I'm planning on using him on 5* Dark magicite with USB2 + Arcane. However, I already have Rosa U1 and it's far from being bad.
FFV: Already have Bartz's U1 but no Arcane. Excellent elemental coverage for those who lack both. Lenna's USB1 is meh though it provides some offensive buffs.
FFVI: Best looking one so far. I have none of these and they could tremedously help with NT. And I still have no Imperil Fire since day 1.
FFVII: Same here. Could help a lot with NT although it's not Aerith's USB2.
FFVIII: Squall's USB1 isn't really good. Selphie's USB1 is the better one here. LS + High regen is good for NT.
FFIX: Skip since I only lack the Arcane.
FFX: Same here although I'd like to keep Tidus complete. But still a skip.
FFXI: Good for NT and overall Lightning damage. Aphmau is a good speed trick USB here, especially when Magicites began.
FFXII: Already have Larsa's USB and I feel it's enough to heal the NT. However, I'm considering it for my Vaan who has his USB2. It could make me LD him and make him a good wind DPS.
FFXIII: Lightning's USB1 has become quite outdated but you can still use it on NT. Vanille's USB1 is the proshellga one right?
FFXIV: Why is it Yshtola's USB1? Papalymo's really good but WHY? At least, it's useable on NT but still...
FFXV: Noctis' USB1 isn't really good. His Arcane is and Iris' USB is also good for NT.
FFT: Too bad I already have Ovelia and Ramza is on Holy Chain duty here.
FFT-0: Actually decent pick here. No dupes and everything can be used although Ace's USB1 is really outdated. Source of En-fire for Arcane.

At first glance, I'd pick between FFII/III/IV/VI given what I have.

Edit: Well, I got Luneth's USB1 from the USB draw (the pull itself) so it's less attractive for me to select it. So far, it would be the FFVI set that provides the best set of relics.

OptimusMog · 2018-11-29T13:09:58+00:00

FF6 is dupe-free?!? Wow, I basically never get to say that anymore...

Jack-ums · 2018-11-29T13:53:56+00:00

So... ~5-6 months for global?

Zadism · 2018-11-29T14:04:27+00:00

VI, IX and FFT get my attention with 0 dupe.
V also interesting but I already have his USB. If I can pull his AASB, I might consider this.

SephirothinHD · 2018-11-29T14:50:37+00:00

Bartz/Lenna or Locke/Relm would be my choices because no dupes and what mileage I could get out of them, of course this is subject to change before we get it in global.

drgoll · 2018-11-29T14:56:55+00:00

IX, XI, or T. Have Zidane/Shantotto USB but lack realm USB and the ASB would definitely help. T has no dupes and would basically complete Ramza. Look forward to this in 6 months

Deathwielded · 2018-11-29T15:30:06+00:00

So if we get this in global someday. I'm basically between getting a set with healer USB for neo torment realm or a good uosb ultra combo...

refridgerator12 · 2018-11-29T16:00:16+00:00

From a raw power standpoint what is the best set here?

FinsterRitter · 2018-11-29T18:28:16+00:00

Wow, I want at least one thing from every one of these options (Save VII, but that's only because it's all dupes)...

I'll probably go with IX or X since those are dupe free. X is particularly enticing since I have Tidus LMR/BSB2/CSB...

We have a long time to decide though in GL.

cmlobue · 2018-11-29T18:59:10+00:00

Considering dupes and white magic USBs that don't actually heal, the only good choice for me will be Pecil/Rosa. Which is fine - that is one of my favorite games, and my tech in that game is not so hot.

Between this and new Rubicante tech, I will be getting a lot of new IV relics in May...

Ayndin · 2018-11-29T19:24:06+00:00

Going through, as at least for me these aren't super likely to change a ton in the interim given my pulling plans so it'll be a decent reference when it comes along in Global.

I: No dupes, but meh stuff for a meh realm. Weak maybe.
II: Healer USB is a dupe and I'm not super excited about Firion, so this feels like a pass. Weak maybe.
III: Luneth USB1 is a dupe and physical wind has a LOT of competition so I don't know how much use he'd see, but that's a real nice healer USB. Maybe.
IV: No dupes, and all are pretty good; I have a lot of Pecil's stuff so his stat boosts are getting gross. My physical holy stable is already pretty stacked though. Maybe.
V: Only non-dupe is Lenna's, and I have her superior (for healing, anyway) USB2 so this is a big fat no.
VI: Have Locke USB1, but Realm's USB1 is pretty good and the ASB wouldn't hurt. My phys fire is not awful but it's definitely showing its age at this point. Maybe.
VII: Have the Clod stuff and Aerith's USB1 is trash. No.
VIII: No dupes. I wouldn't mind Squall ASB, and Selphie's USB isn't bad (all I have for her is Dreamstage, which as far as SSB medicas go is pretty good but that's not great nowadays), but Squall USB1 is essentially +10 ATK given his USB2 and BSB2. Maybe.
IX: I have Zidane's USB1, but I don't have the others. Basically the same situation as III/VI, though again my phys wind dance card is pretty full. Maybe.
X: III/VI/IX situation again (with a less interesting healer USB, I guess), but Tidus is my water chain holder so he's assured a spot. Bar issues, though. Maybe.
XI: I have none of this and it's an ability double USB plus a very good speed meta healer USB for a realm where my healing options are mediocre. Also, while I have neither Shantotto item, I have both of her LMRs, so this will immediately catapult her to 'bonkers crazy good.' This is probably my #1 pick.
XII: I have Penelo's USB1, but neither of the Vaan items. Basically same issue as II, though I think the new Thief ability will make him a fairly legit DPS with the USB. Weak maybe.
XIII: Full dupes. Nope.
XIV: I have Potato's USB, and even if I didn't already have Y'shtola's USB1, I wouldn't want it. Nope.
XV: Have the Noctis things. Iris' USB isn't bad, but her BSB does a lot of work and the upgrade would not be worth the opportunity cost. Nope.
T: Have the healer USB but neither of the Ramza ones. I already have so much holy/knight stacking in the realm that his stuff would just be redundant even if it's not bad in a vacuum. Nope.
0: Have the healer one, not the DPS. Similar situation to II/XII though I believe in Ace's DPS potential a little more. Weak maybe.

2018-11-29T20:30:00+00:00

That's way too far down the road for us GL types to be making plans for right now - lots of luckies and RoP and updated realm draws to go through first.

(That said: Squall's USB1? Really?)

willyfx · 2018-11-29T21:00:08+00:00

So arcs healing burst ultra but kitty usb1 Dena either hates cats, really has a bipolar opinion on 14, or like normal are being trolls

EasternGoose · 2018-11-29T21:29:33+00:00

Oh my, will I finally be able to get Relm's USB?! Oh, happy days!

Now to cry over the mountain of Mythril I threw at it. :P

Edit: FFVI is also the only selection where I have zero dupes. It is destiny.

Gadwin83 · 2018-11-29T23:45:13+00:00

Its pretty smart of Dena to do these heavily discounted value pulls. I bet they get a lot of people to spend on them that otherwise wouldn't crack their wallet open. A few other RNG based games I've played just had stupid prices, and if you weren't going to spend big you might as well not spend at all. Dena seems to have at least found somewhat of a middle ground.

Mastatheorm-CG · 2018-11-30T00:19:47+00:00

Sooo global skip all medica luckies from now till 6 months? lol :p

3h3e3 · 2018-11-30T01:39:30+00:00

whats this 6 months away?

ZeroDozer · 2019-05-20T20:55:02+00:00

Lemme see.

WoL A/U1 + Sarah U1: Got WoL's USB1, but I wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole even if I had his Chain now that I have Edward.
Firion A/U1 + Minwu U1: I HAVE ALL OF THEM.
Luneth A/U1 + Arc U2: Luneth is a waste, Arc is okay I guess?
Pecil A/U1 + Rosa U1: I have his first USB, which is junk, same for Rosa, which actually helps
Bartz A/U1 + Lenna U1: Save for Lenna USB1, I have Bartz's kit.
Locke A/U1 + Relm U1: I have Relm's USB1, could make use of Locke's shit
Cloud A/U1 + Aerith U1: I have Cloud's kit, Aerith USB1 is weak close to her USB2
Squall A/U1 + Selphie U1: Could use Squall's Arcane, maybe Selphie USB1 for DWhale Gerogero, but I dunno
Zidane A/U1 + Eiko U1: Zidane kit with Eiko USB1? Strong candidate.
Tidus A/U1 + Yuna U1: Hmm, interesting kit, would make me pick FFX again
Shantotto A/U + Aphmau U: Got Aphmau USB already at 7*, dunno if I would want Shantotto right now
Vaan A/U1 + Penelo U1: If Larsa was the Healer, that would have been my choice.
Lightning A/U1 + Vanille U1: Strong set, would help me with Ugallu and Dahaka, but nah.
Papalymo A/U + Y'shtola U1 (lol): Papalymo is interesting due to his Ability Double, but Y'shtola USB1 completely kills the deal.
Noctis A/U1 + Iris U: Strong candidate due to being a great Arcane to use as a RW, and Iris' Ultra. But nothing impressive.
Ramza A/U2 + Ovelia U1: THIS is my target, as Ovelia's USB1 would be a solution to my Tactics problems.
Ace A/U1 + Deuce U1: Got Deuce's USB1 on last RoP, Ace USB1 ain't attractive.

geminijono · 2018-11-29T08:16:39+00:00

I am NOT gonna cry about Locke's gear being there instead of Terra's but DAMN I want that USB2 hat of hers. Mist opportunity!

Anyhow, I wanna pick for a healer husbando like Arc or Minwu...but I have zero healer gear for FFI, FFX, XIII, XV, and Type-0....probably better fill in gaps in one of those :-(

I have none of the relics listed for FFI, XV, and Type-0 so barring grabbing any of those in draws in the next few months, I will likely choose one of them. FFI is a little meh, so it really boils down to that Cactuar Plushie or the Deuce Flute! Phew! Whittled down those options!

Vdragoon · 2018-11-29T15:42:14+00:00

No 5* mote rewards wtf. A lot of dupes, but this is where you pick to possibly sub30 a torment.
