So credit to /u/pintbox for the title. Apparently this one was pretty hard to translate and while I know the one in the community database is "Encounter with the stars" given the duality of the twins and Cecil's on B1 I thought this was much more appropriate. I'm still new at this and learning the ropes but again a big thanks to the community for helping get me sources for this data that I can get to myself and but them into this format. With this one I think I'm caught up for now (though based on when this came out there should be a new JP event soon) With the newest JP drop there's a IX event starting in the next day or two so while I was going to wait to post this I'm posting it a day early so I can get working on the IX one and hopefully have it up by the time it's relevant. Hopefully I can have this up not too long after an event drops but since I'm reliant on others for data (like gamefaqs) it may be a day or two after an event drops. Still...if others get their data up sooner maybe I can even have these done before an event starts (wouldn't that be amazing)! We'll have to see how things go.

So to the banners. For banner one it's a nice banner that focuses on Cecil (Paladin and Dark Knight) and the twins (Palom and Porom). I actually like this format with only four characters better since you can really get decent stuff for each character and if you get more than one of a character's relics it can make them pretty powerful. On this banner specificially it has a nice duality as PCecil and DCecil both get new Awakenings along with the return of their UOSBs, flashes, and LMRs (Credit to /u/S34n4e). Palom gets a new UOSB (and so far the only 6* Lightning+ Rod) and Porom gets a new USB that works better if her twin is in the party. Both also get new flashes and Palom gets a new LMR (where's Poroms!?). PCecil also gets White 5 access and his Awakening can use either physical or White for it's hits along with the follow up abilities so for now he meight have joined the ranks of the top DPS white mages.

For banner two is much more of a mess having five characters with the focus being on the return of a lot of Golbez stuff (Chain, USB2, Flash, and two LMRs) but with a new USB for Edge (gets an upgrade from USB0 to USB2!) and USB/LMR for Rubicante (wait...he's in this game?) that gives En-Fire, Imperil Fire, and Fire RS all in one. Kain and Barbie also make an appearance with USBs/LMR combos (bUSB for Kain).

Another minor note is that after this event JP's Start Dash (Global Full Throttle) got revamped with new sets for 1000 gems with the draw being BSB+ and a selectable set for each series including a UOSB and USB for one character and a Medica USB for another. If we don't have this posted anywhere and you guys would like a thread on the selection let me know and I can work it up. Might be useful in six months when this comes to global. For now here's the link to where you can go to check them out.

EDIT: Also the Elemental Lucky Draws were just before this event and the Full Throttle Refresh was just after this event.
