Trance Terra and a bunch of dupes from my guaranteed *5, I'll take it. Time for a 62-ticket odyssey chasing Rikku and Tidus!

Now that WoL can take Cecil and Rain's spot, what should my main party be? Olive and WoL are gimmes, and the other possibilities are:

* Trance Terra
* Rikku
* DC Refia
* Like every other white mage
* DW Cheezo
* 3 Setzers

62 tickets and 3 11-pulls later:

Huh, I got one ticket from doing five King Mog runs. Might as well throw it at the banner.



Holy poo poo, today I've gone from 2 rainbow pulls to 5 and one of them is Tidus. I'm never complaining about my pulls again.

Who else pulled Tidus? I need some Tidus buddies 535 139 589

Added you and changed my friend unit to Tidus. I'm at 716 534 730 for anyone else--still needs a lot of TMs to get really good, but I figure he's good for practicing chaining.

I've gotten like three Gaffgarions in the past week and a half. I'm up to seven. Which is a nice change from the Agriases I kept getting, because Tactics golds love me apparently.

10+1 and around 25 tickets got me 9S and Eve (who I wanted cause I like him). My wife, being a goddamn rainbow magnet, used a guaranteed 4* and got Ramza.

Extra 5k 11-pull got me first King, Kupipi, and Prishe. I'll take it!

Having just gotten my third good 5* DPS, is Tidus, Olive, Prishe, WoL, and Tillith a good main party? Should I stick Rikku, 9s, and Trance Terra in there or rotate them in as needed?

Goddamn I want the Four Fiends. I don't care if they're useless, I just want them to hang around my units list looking cool.

Me: has played and done dailies almost every day since well before 6* was a thing, has spent around $100 chasing Gilgamesh
My wife: very occasionally plays, has not spent a dime

Me: has pulled 7 base 5*s
My wife: has pulled 10 base 5*s, including Gilgamesh and 2B

RNG is agony

The biggest problem with the new 7* system, as well as any other gacha game that uses the dupe-eating bullshit, is that it removes the 'grand prize' feeling of getting that unit you wanted.

Before:
"A rainbow? HELL YES IT'S [on banner unit I wanted]! :woop:"

Now:
"A rainbow? Hell yeah I got [on banner unit I wanted] and now I just need to pull another one for them to be worthwhile... :sigh:"


Yeah, this. Right now, non-whales can luck out and draw super-powerful units. With 7*, especially at these 5* rates, it feels like there's not even a point pulling because the odds of pulling two of anything are vanishingly low without throwing all your saved-up tickets and lapis at a banner. Even if it's technically possible to beat most things without a 7*, removing the chance to pull a top-tier unit makes playing much less fun.

Used a daily, 10+1 EX ticket, and one regular ticket.

I have five Cagnazzos and no other banner unit???

Went big on this banner, 'cause FF4 is very special to me and all that.

15K Lapis and 15 tickets netted me:
3x Scarmiglione
3x Rubicante

Like I honestly was at least hoping to walk away with Cagnazzo.

I’ll trade you, Rubicante’s my favorite. :negative:

11-pull and some tickets got me 2 Cors, multiple Irises, and a bunch of trash (besides Orran, who I didn't have). Is Cor any good besides the event and being a cool character? Also finally used my guaranteed 5* ticket and got Ayaka, so I'm happy!

Spent my 10+1 anyways. No worry on missing out on a new rainbow, Shine + 10 crappy blues. Free daily was Guy.

That is exactly what I got! High five Shine and Guy buddy.
