Record Keeping Final Fantasy Record Keeper

[Magic Fanatic]

So, these three LDs...

Healer:
Minwu USB - This is new, and basically looks like it warrants a spot of consideration for harder content.
Relm SSB - Dupe.

BSB:
Deuce BSB - This is new.  Almost thinking that she's going to go on my Magicite teams now.
Braska BSB - Well...  New, but I have his USB, and I'm still wondering if I should LD Braska, and if this would have any use.

6*:
Pecil OSB - Dupe.
Quistis OSB - I actually wanted this for a really long time.  I also have her BSB, so Rage Mage En-Element -> OSB is a go?

[Shale]

Two pulls on the third festival banner got me a dupe Cloud BSB2, Zack BSB, and...... Cloud USB! Hell yeah!

[Meeplelard]

I kind of want to pull on Banner 3 but I have 4 dupes (Tidus Chain, Fujin/Alph/Edge BSBs), making me "errr..." on the idea. 

I did, on bright side, 100 Gem Basch's BSB.

[Shale]

Used my remaining 100 mythril on banner 4, got Snow's chain, two extra Axis Blades and Lightning and Lenna's BSB2s. Worst chain in the fest, but it's still a chain, and at least I've got Snow's burst so he can contribute some ice damage given enough support. Of the burst weapons, Lightning's is the clear prize - paired with her USB it's an easy choice to legend dive her.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I actually did a pull on banner 3 myself, got Tidus Chain, Cloud USB, Zack BSB and an Edge BSB dupe. Yeah, this is satisfying enough. Also did a pull on this event's banner for the Kefkas and got Edward+Desch USBs and Echo's Burst 2 instead. I finally have the MAG-based god faithga I've been wanting since like Minfilia USB was released, and this is even almost as good as OK's Faithga USB. Really weird to have Edward as one of my best buffers full stop (I have all his SBs since Song of Swiftness), but so it goes.

[Shale]

I finally cracked 30 seconds in a Magicite fight! Not using any of my new kit (although I surely could manhandle Fenrir if I needed any more wind magicites), just a good run against Shadow Dragon where Raines got a bunch of doublecasts. And I'm very close on Bismarck, got to 32s with Lightning and Kain providing my offense. Maybe if I gave Kain TGM....

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I think Kain isn't that great an option if you have nothing better than his BSB. TGM may help on him if you can cover the problem of his Jumps being slow, at least, but the DPS without a USB or a chain sorta underwhelms me.

[Shale]

Yeah, but I'm lacking other physical lightning options and would see a notable downturn in Lightning's damage if I switched away from Ramza and Eiko on buffs. A mixed party is my next strategy if I can't shave those few seconds, but my kneejerk is that using Ashe or Shantotto would hurt more than it helps.

Edit: Success! Gathering Storm cut five seconds from my time, down to 27 and change.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Awesome! I think I may start running Garnet instead of Rafa against Bismarck now that I have her and Desch's USB. The RES buff from Rafa's BSB also gets covered by Edward's USB, sooooooooo...

This said, finally got a good enough groove to very consistently sub-30 Fenrir with a mage party. Shelke => Edward USB => Yuna BSB2 => Rinoa Chain => Allegro con Motto => Mage's Hymn => Edea BSB => toodles. It works great even if Rinoa gets slowed.

Also, the 100-gem pull on B5 got me Garland's OSB. Okay, I guess.

[Meeplelard]

Did a pull on Banner 5.  Got WoL's CSB, 2 Marche USBs, and Golbez's BSB.  I am ok with this!

Also pulled for Terra's BSB2, got my 3rd Asura's Rod and a worthless chocobo Brush.  Well, I got a reforged Rod, I suppose, and another Rosetta Stone.  I'll hold off the mythril pulling until another banner for the waifu pulls; this banner is not worth throwing a crap ton of mythril just for +10 Magic.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

4* Mote farming changes dynamics a lot. I did some runs on Great Behemoth to reap enough VIT Motes to Record Dive WoL, since he could use better stats and some ability damage buffing to go with his Chain. Too bad his LD is -awful-, but so it goes. When the Wisdom dungeon shows up again, I'll probably farm those to 4* Dive Rydia. Still not sure if I'll LD her (my summon hones aren't that good), but having both her BSB1, OSB and LMR make for quite a compelling case, especially considering my odds of grabbing Alphinaud's USB don't look so good.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

So, about that OK banner: I had 100 Mythril and an 11-pull's worth of leftover gems and fuck, it's my birthday. Three pulls left me with OK's Sage USB, Refia USB, Ingus BSB 2, CoD BSB2 and LMR and Aria BSB. Arc and Refia BSB dupes also happened at some point, but overall great haul - and OK's USB even showed up on the first pull. Happy birthday indeed.

[Shale]

Well, that's awesome. I haven't pulled yet but almost certainly will -- I just want to be sure I'll have enough for the realm lucky, the water banner and OK. I've got so many party buffs already that this one is the lowest priority out of the three.

Magicite Sub-30s: wind, water, ice, dark. Still need drops from all but water and wind, so there's a good bit of grinding left to do.

Edit: 3/11 on the realm draw. Rikku SSB dupe, Curilla BSB, Lion USB. Shame the USB wasn't for one of the other two, but it's better than a poke in the eye.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Oh yeah. Realm LD got me Auron's first BSB and Jecht's Ultra. I'm really not sure how would I fit Jecht into my team comps, considering all of my honed Darkness abilities are magical, but I guess that's certainly -something-. 

[Meeplelard]

Realm Lucky got me Rafa's USB, and a dupe Shantotto SSB.  I am ok with this.

Did a birthday pull on the FF6 banner last minute for waifu BSB2, got ANOTHER Mog BSB, Locke's BSB2 and Celes' LMR.  Could be worse.

[Meeplelard]

Dissidia VIllain's Banner: 5/11. 

-Ex-death SSB2 (meh, +Dark staff I don't need at all and Soul Break is easily replace-able)
-Gabranth SSB (+Dark Helmet, that's actually kind of alright)
-CoD BSB2 (Ok, this is really cool)
-Garland CSB x2 (OH HELL YES!!)

Didn't get a Kefka relic like I wanted, but I really can't complain about the above.

Realm Lucky: 2/11.  Another Fusion Sword (...didn't even notice FF7 was on it -_-), and Locke's Ultra (Ok, THIS is pretty awesome.)

[Shale]

4/11: Setzer full breakdown SSB (reforge time!), Yuffie LMR, Cyan SSB, Setzer USB!

Final Trump is useless for Magicite meta but fuck it, I've coveted that thing since it dropped and now it's mine! And Yuffie's LMR means I now have both ninja LMRs that auto-blink, which is better than a hole in the head for ability spam once the blink-dependent abilities get their buff.

[Magic Fanatic]

100-Gem on CT Banner: Lightning LMR.  Functionally useless since my only other relic for her is her BSB1, and she pales in comparison to Marach's LMR (which is the only thing I have for him), say nothing of my other competent Lightning DPS.
Lucky Draw: 1/11 Locke BSB2.  Annoyed that it doesn't do anything for me, but eh.  Just means my game plans don't change.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

100-gem pull on the Crystal Tower FF6 banner: Locke's CSB. I'LL TAKE IT.

Realm LD: 2/11. Locke's SSB2 (the Enfire one, sorta useless to me because I have his LMR, but I seriously lacked Light Armors for FF6, so that's good), Relm USB. So uh yeah, 10/10 day for pulling, would gacha again.

EDIT: as for actual game content, I'm parsing orb farming, XP farming and 4* magicite slaving haphazardly. The good news: already cleared four Magicites (Kraken, Isgebind, Marilith and Ixion), scoring sub-30s on Marilith, Ixion and Isgebind. Isgy's sub-30 was a lucky fluke, sadly, but Maril and Ixion are perfectly consistent - Ixion in particular makes me happy because there's a lot of leeway, averaging 25s with a very RNG-proof, if quite execution-heavy, setup, and Earth is by far my worst element in terms of coverage. I haven't given much of a try on Midgarsormr yet - doesn't seem overwhelmingly damaging, but very much of a boring slog due to my Wind being slow on the draw and sorta haphazard. Tiamat... oh dear god the nightmares. Savage Jet Fire is some Barthandelus Ultimate Dispel-calibur bullshit.

GUYZE

KINGDOM HEARTS COLLAB WITH SORA, RIKU, LOSERFACE ORGY XIII, LOLIGOTH CLOUD AND LEON DRESS RECORDS

AND GLOBAL RK GETS IT SIMULTANEOUSLY

https://ffrk.jp/cpn/gummiship/en/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtUW1AzwBi0&feature=youtu.be

I'm in gay nerd heaven/hell right now

[Shale]

And it has relics! We get Cloud UOSB2 before they're supposed to debut in Global at all!

[DjinnAndTonic]

What the hell, Square? Why do you do this to me now? First a VP and a SO crossover in BE, now a proper KH crossover in RK?

Just make a goddamn Squeenix Smash Bros clone already and end my long wait....

[Meeplelard]

While Djinn continues to pine about Super Square-enix Bros Orgy XIII Versus Fabula Nova Eternum 314/2.3 Weeks Re:Nier'd Starring Tetsuya Nomura, I'll just mention my last few pulls of note!

Kingdom Hearts:  2/11 on Half Price.  Riku's Glint and his BSB.  I'll take it.

FF8 Banner 2: 1/11, Selphie's BSB2.  I wanted an FF8 Medica, and I finally got one, now I have a medica in every realm (...though I probably should consider upgrading my FF7 Medica from Aerith's SSB...though I do have Clear Tranquil at least...)

Dungeon Lucky: 1/11, Kimhari's BSB.  It's new but god damn do I feel like I've been cheated...

FF9-1: 100 Gem'd Beatrix's USB.  WHAT. THE. FUCK?

[Shale]

Three KH pulls netted me Riku's glint (boooooo) and Sora's AOSB, USB and lightning glint. Even if he's never getting realm synergy again I feel like that's mythril well spent. Tri-elemental Arcane Overstrike with all three en-elements via LM, and a good tri-elemental Ultra for when that's used up? Hell yeah.

Holding off on the realm lucky because I've only got ~70 mythril left and I wanna see the anniversary banners.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Oh yeah, pulls.

KH: five pulls. Got everything but the BSB for Sora, Cloud's BSB3 and Riku's Glint/LMR/BSB. That's good.

Dungeon Lucky: Auron LMR and Hope/Auron BSB dupes. That was a waste.

FF9-1: 100-gemmed Zidane USB. I may have to try him out on Midgarsormr.

Meanwhile, I'm 4/6 for sub-30'd Magicites, including Tiamat. Only Midgarsormr and Kraken left.
