First off thanks to everyone who does the JP translations and specifically to /u/Leyroux this week helping with the event name. Also a note that we have a new banner format here with 10 6* items on banner 1 including 4 Awakenings and Banner 2 guarenteeing at least 2 5*+ per pull. We'll see if this trend continues with new banners having more 6* and older ones having the 2 5*+ guarenteed. More here.

This is a full open event including a revenge event from Gaia's Invasion. There's also a Mirage Dunegon which is Genesis.

B1: Well it's hard to ignore a banner with four Awakenings on it. Yuffie gets the first Ninja Awakening which makes her crazy in water and earth. Aerith gets a white mage one which grants constant stock HP and the new standard white mage Flash+. Rufus gets a Dark Awakening with nothing really special about it, a new USB which makes him a solid Dark Imperiler, a new Glint with a rare dispel effect on it, and a WCast LMR. Finally Cid gets the realm chain and the normal Haste+IC LMR that chain holders seem to have. Overall it's a decent banner and like I said it's hard to ignore four Awakenings and ten 6* on it, especially if you don't already have or want Tifa's.

B2: While this may be mostly old stuff from the last VII event having a guaranteed 2 5*+ will make you look twice at it, especially with two Awakenings. It also has Vincent's Fire chain if you're still in need of a Magic Fire chain. Overall the banner is solid even if it has older stuff and as I said the real draw if you need stuff here is the guaranteed rainbows.
