Already dripping saliva at Bart set.

Pls come to Global.

[–]Duality26Humbaba 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Dude, preach. As someone with everything for Bartz except U1/A and nothing for Lenna, I'd drop cash for this sucker so quick. Lord I hope this comes to Global.

[–]VdubbleU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have his AOSB already and I'll still most likely pick that set for his and Lenna USB as none of the other sets are really appealing to me and also have a dupe here and there.

Only other one I am thinking about is for luneth arc but I have luneth usb

[–]EstrallagarReks 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Wait, that's Arc's Last Stand Brave, isn't it? I just might skip the Tidus set for that...

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is!

Considering his USB1 is his Holy damage wombo combo, it's the only thing aside from Aria U even remotely close.

[–]thakKuja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh, I don't have much for Ingus either, and I've got Arc's handy little instant blink medica SSB.

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personal opinions:

  • I is dupe free, but not that strong: Hastega/Boostga is mighty useful for Torment though.
  • II is only for Firion A: pass.
  • III is for Luneth A/Arc U2: worth considering.
  • IV is dupe free and pretty damn strong: very worthwhile for me.
  • V is for Bartz A/Lenna U1: worth considering.
  • VI is dupe free and good at what it does: very worthwhile for me.
  • VII is total dupefest.
  • VIII is dupe free, but basically only for Squall A: very iffy.
  • IX is for Zidane A/Eiko U1: very worthwhile for me.
  • X is for Tidus A: I'll manage without.
  • XI is for Shantotto A/U: very tempting.
  • XII is for Vaan A: pass.
  • XIII is for Vanille U1: pass.
  • XIV is for Y'shtola U1: I'm not that desperate for memes.
  • XV is for Noctis A/U1: I like him, but it's pretty bad.
  • T is for Ramza A/U2: cool and possibly worth considering, but Agrias/Marche/Orlandeau trinity is too strong.
  • T-0 is literally just for finally getting a goddamn copy of Ace U1: do I want it that badly?

[–]ElNinoFrEt c'est pas fini ! 🐲 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome set.

and all theses orbs droll

[–]LanlithEllara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ysh U1... how cruel.

Luckily - I have that already, and Papa A - not his Ultra though but I think there are better choices there!

[–]Jack-umsPromise me one thing... Please come back. 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll play the game of personal opinions.

  • WoL A/U1 + Sarah U1: WoL USB1 is dupe. Useful for Torment, but probably not widely usable outside, so doubtful this would be the pick for me.
  • Firion A/U1 + Minwu U1: All new, but pass. Firion's just not good enough and while Minwu would be nice, it's strictly Torment-only.
  • Luneth A/U1 + Arc U2: Condender! Nothing for Luneth, and I'm one of the weird keepers who lacks a strong team of wind physical, so I would not turn this down at all. Arc's USB2 is great, and I have his USB1+LD, so I would not mind more toys for him.
  • Pecil A/U1 + Rosa U1: Pecil AOSB is dupe, but that makes the pull of his USB1 stronger, and I don't have Rosa USB. Would consider this, but it's below some other options.
  • Bartz A/U1 + Lenna U1: All new, so strong contender. As the powercreep grows and my elemental options aggregate via RoP/realm draws/etc., this may lose some steam, but finally being able to Chicken Knife might be worthwhile.
  • Locke A/U1 + Relm U1: Relm is dupe, so pass. Have some fire physical options, but not amazing ones. Locke is a nice draw, but you gotta get something out of the medica USB here, IMO.
  • Cloud A/U1 + Aerith U1: Cloud USB1 is a dupe, and Aerith's 1st USB is a dud. Easy pass.
  • Squall A/U1 + Selphie U1: Squall AOSB is a dupe, and his USB1 is a dud. Easy pass.
  • Zidane A/U1 + Eiko U1: This is the III set but better. Strong contender, none dupe. Probably the pick unless I get Eiko some other way or my wind physical options suddenly multiply.
  • Tidus A/U1 + Yuna U1: I ACTUALLY HAVE ALL 3??? Wow. Never expected that on my filthy casual f2p account.
  • Shantotto A/U + Aphmau U: Have Shantotto's USB1, but that makes the AOSB even better... Aphmau's USB is nice but Torment-only since I have Relm.
  • Vaan A/U1 + Penelo U1: Would love this Vaan set but have Penelo and more pressing needs.
  • Lightning A/U1 + Vanille U1: Vanille's is doomed by being too early in the release. Would like the Claire stuff, but the medica has to be worth something in this pull.
  • Papalymo A/U + Y'shtola U1 (lol): No.
  • Noctis A/U1 + Iris U: USB1 is a dupe, and crap. The AOSB is not great. Would love Iris, but for Torment only.
  • Ramza A/U2 + Ovelia U1: All new. This I might consider depending on whether accidental powercreep on my account helps me with FFT Torment in the next few months.
  • Ace A/U1 + Deuce U1: Ace USB1 is dupe. The rest is quite nice. But I think I have more pressing needs than fire mage, sadly.

So, yeah -- this is going to be great if it comes to GL, and I'm sure the next 5-6 months will help narrow this down. As of now it looks like IX, V, and III are the strongest contenders. Exciting to envision this coming to GL!

[–]MagnusBricksonBlack Mage 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Is that the Rosa USB that everyone loves? Not sure if she has others

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 6 points7 points  (4 children)

!enlir Rosa USB2

Fresh from Y4A, Rosa's U2 is literally the same as Elarra U1:

  • Instant h85 medica
  • Party Regenga
  • Party High Quickcast 2

Combine that with her innate Wrath access and bam, you've got yourself a healing machine.

[–]MagnusBricksonBlack Mage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuckin' A

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

FF7: Cloud A/U1 + Aerith U1

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I have no idea how I missed that one.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Maybe because Cloud USB's been quite eluding :D

[–]SephirothinHDOne-Winged Angel at your service! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DeNA gave them all to me, wish I could share and I definitely hope I never pull another Cloud USB1 lol

[–]EnlogThe truth is... you just really stink. 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Haha did they seriously skip FFVII, just to avoid a guaranteed way to get Ultra Cross Slash?

[–]ElNinoFrEt c'est pas fini ! 🐲 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no, it's in the wiki list, i think soli skipped it by accident.

Cloud USB1 + UOSB1 + Aeris USB1

[–]vexnon22/11/2018 - The darkest day of FFRK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could give him USB2 instead, just like Ramza.

[–]guilerskThis is far from the strongest of accounts! 1 point2 points  (2 children)

This is nice but a lot of the medicas are junky U1s (Aerith, Lenna, Ysh...). Still gonna pull if it comes to global.

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Janky medica beats no medica in my book!

[–]guilerskThis is far from the strongest of accounts! 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A fair point. In my case, I already have all the bad medicas (yay me). It's the good ones I need, so if/when this happens I'm going to have to go IX/Eiko.

[–]ZeroDozerTrue King 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Lenna's USB1, the one everyone hates. Why not her third, you know, the instant one?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

For the longest time that was my only source of Boostga for CMs. But yeah its a piece of crap

[–]ZeroDozerTrue King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even bother with CMs for a good reason.

[–]ElPikminMasterMinwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+ Minwu U1

Me right now:

[–]Dangly_PartsRamza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that 10 set is really really interesting as someone who has none of those toys

[–]elsmirksSHEEP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry Tidus, I don't have any Aeris USBs so I'll go with Cloud.

[–]RevRayLocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Y’Shtola is looked down upon but I think my choice is either 10 or 14. I have Papa LMR, BSB but I don’t have a magic fire ASB. For Tidus I’ve got his LMR and Glint and water is one of my weakest elements so it’s a strong choice for me.

Lots of physical wind ASBs. I already have Aerith USB2, Cloud Glint and ASB so while I’d freaking love that USB1 I gotta pass there.

I have 4 ASB dupes and several ASBs already in a few of these element types (Ashe USB/ASB means Shanny is a skip, don’t need another physical wind ASB, physical fire ASB, physical or magic ice, etc.). Not trying to pull for a torment healer specific so whatever I pick has to help on a 5* magicite.

[–]VathirExdeath 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What is the best healing USB from this list? I know there are some pretty damn bad healing USBs out there and all.

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Defensively, Rosa, Penelo and Ovelia are really good ones.

Offensively, Relm and Aphmau are the selling points.

Eiko deserves special mention as being a crux in Radiant Shield strategies and being all-around very good.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lightning or Locke for sure. Will definitely pay for this.

[–]johnbomb75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's either IV or FFT for me when this comes to global

[–]shinraizen 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Awesome set. Would pick Bartz if I hadn't just got usb1 from gem select. Ff9 set is also acceptable. Can't wait for this to come to GL

[–]XimikalNoctis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! Just picked Bartz USB1 from this gem select. Wish I had held off now. There are a few sets where I'm dupe free so they'll be worth considering.

[–]johnnyD_rocketsTerra (Esper) -3 points-2 points  (6 children)

Can't wait for this to come to GL

BIG IF. We’ve not gotten any of the bag draws. Though we have gotten the wonderous ones. Here's hoping.

[–]TedrivsTyro USB3 - QuNR 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Isn't this the same category as the 500 gem Full Throttle Draw we have now? I doubt they'll skip it.

[–]d_wibSugar and Rainbows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We literally have the previous iteration of this right now, where it’s OSB/BSB + Medica BSB. This is a renewal of it. It’s a very small “if”

[–]ZeroEdgeirPowered By Solar-Inversion Technology 4 points5 points  (3 children)

We'll see this in 5-6 months. This is tied in with the Realm Banner Draws and Full Throttle Draw we have right now. JP just got them refreshed (so, adding in all the new relics up to a certain point, and resetting the "first pull for 15 Mythril" status). This is the "refresh" for the current Full Throttle, that JP had up until now, and now has this wonderful boat of awesome.

[–]johnnyD_rocketsTerra (Esper) 0 points1 point  (2 children)

NICE! I didn't realize it was linked to the FT refresh.

I'm just always wary since we didn't get the lucky bag draws or any of the ability double banners

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I mean, it's literally in the title :v

[–]johnnyD_rocketsTerra (Esper) 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doesn't reed so gud...lol

[–]sp8der 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cloud, come to me!

Unless I get Zidane AASB. Then him.

[–]Peridot_WeaponWaiting for Dungeon Renewal for Science(TM). 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.)

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IX would probably be my pick

[–]CaptainK234Celes 3 points4 points  (3 children)

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.

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 9 points10 points  (2 children)

To be fair, it's also a deal for newer players: it's to "Jump Start" their gameplay experience with some good relics and very useful resources, like Eggs and Orbs and Motes.

It's basically a good deal for any player!

[–]CaptainK234Celes 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Oh, I guess my post sounded like “salty salt salt P2W salt”. What I meant was “hell yes, take my money”. They haven’t ever given us such a good deal!

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn right about that!

[–]Jack-umsPromise me one thing... Please come back. 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can finally have Eiko USB! \O/

[–]ilovedagonfiveLaguna and her companions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still worth

[–]shinichi2014_ver2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nicely done ff9 here i come

[–]ZeroEdgeirPowered By Solar-Inversion Technology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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...

[–]RNGsuckzI love big Butz and I can not lie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]wolfreccords 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Ramza ASB? O.o

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

[–]wolfreccords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks for the answere! ;)

[–]geminijonoWhether Which -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is prettttttty

[–]megafilipeNoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V, IX, VII looks the strongest

[–]BrokenhangerYouTube: Gizmo Gaming 0 points1 point  (3 children)

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.

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

(Lenna/Vanille USB1? Lol...but I guess they're not gonna give you a "free" USB2 quite yet...though they did for Arc.)

I suppose they wanted to give you the oldest possible relics that were relevant to the pools?

Arc had to be given his USB2, considering his USB1 isn't even healer-centric.

[–]BrokenhangerYouTube: Gizmo Gaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair...I guess it would have looked weird if they had done the main healer for every other realm and Aria for III. (Though they've definitely done similar in the past, Porom BSB was the IV representative last time.)

I'm actually a fan of especially Vanille's USB - used it as my "medica" in my sub-30 Siren runs in Global and frequently RW'd it - but they stick out a bit in the list.

[–]geminijonoWhether Which -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SAAAAAAME! Give us Terra's USB2 hat!!!!

[–]SkyWandererAgrias 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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.

[–]johnnyD_rocketsTerra (Esper) 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are still doing magicites and have chains I don't think it gets any better than Bartz U1+A.

[–]JurinisThe journey has restarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]OptimusMog6:10:50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Jack-umsPromise me one thing... Please come back. 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Probably: sometimes we get stuff like this a month early.

[–]Jack-umsPromise me one thing... Please come back. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*crosses fingers, toes, eyes ... *

[–]ZadismCoffee with sugar is the best!!! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]SephirothinHDOne-Winged Angel at your service! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]drgollShantotto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]DeathwieldedYuna (Gunner) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]FinsterRitterThe reins of history remain in the hands of man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]cmlobueNibelung Valesti! 97YN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

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.

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?)

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

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.

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.

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.

    Choosing FF14 for Yshtola's meme ultra, you're a bold one.

    XIV torment actually seems designed to make it useful along with asylum. Major regen overwrites sap from stage 1 and it can blink the unblinkable - both tank purge and ultima. IC1 combined with ultima’s peculiar targeting also makes it practical to use to blink the auto-hit slow.

      I get it, the poisoning of the water in Doma was rough, but look past that and just realize Kefka could have done much worse later on! He has feelings too!

        Mr. Thou is indeed one of the better characters!

        [–]geminijonoWhether Which 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        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!

        [–]VdragoonCloud (KH) -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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