All four of those banner 1 swaps from the JP lineup are terrible for me, either dupes or bad relics. That being said, BSB's are the duds on fest banners anyway, so not like it really matters, and all the grand prizes are still intact. The swaps on banner 2 though are awesome, especially removing all the Bartz dupes. Originally I was planning to full skip B2, but now I think it deserves at least one pull.

My plans are:

Go hard on B1 until Elarra USB. If I get Elerra USB in 1-2 pulls and still need both chains, maybe go deeper.
Banner 2 gets one pull, but my fire lineup is decent and I have Locke's CSB already, so that's it here
Banner 3 the goal is Aeris USB and Zack chain. Cloud stuff would be nice, but all of the Noctis crap really shits up this banner unfortunately.
Banner 4 is full skip. My water team is $$$ and there's not really any good ice tech on this banner except Squall, which I have already.
Banner 5 gets 1-2 pulls if I have a good stash leftover. My thunder options are $$$ but I have almost no dupes, so it's worth.

I want to try to keep a nice stash in reserve for FFV in about 3 weeks which has a lot of great items that I want, including some good earth stuff and the new earth chain.

Well I was posting my pull plans but they're not really different from Sinzar so I deleted them. 2, 4, and 5 are all dupe city for me so I'll be pulling hard on 1 and 3, then saving the rest for FFV. I will point out that I'm the one who reminded him about how good the FFV banner is though! My Butts is already decently set up just from having his usb1 and LD but glint + lmr would both be solid pulls and I'm guessing his usb2 outperforms usb1 unless you have a chain going. Also 2nd gen earth chain as Sinzar mentioned.

Butz LMR isn't that great unless you Restart a lot to maximize RNG. It's got a really low proc% chance.

I'm not pulling for it, just wouldn't object to getting it. I'd probably run it over tempered spellblade just for the lulzfactor of getting a quintuple engulfing + 8x usb chase with an active water chain. Or wind/earth if i get lucky on fest3/ffv.

Ugh, had a feeling I should skip the lucky draw...

2/11

Firion USB
Fang BSB dupe

Firion USB is one of the most useless infuse USBs, it infuses holy but he has access to literally zero holy damage abilities.

I suppose I already have his OSB at least, but ugh. Should have saved it for the festival.

My lucky draw was 1/11 with only a single 5*. I was really salty when I did the draw and saw that. Then I saw that the single relic was Ramza's BSB2. I don't especially need it since I have a loaded Onion Knight, but even so, I was happy overall because it brings my Ramza back to fully relic complete, which is nifty.

Still a little disappointing. My parade draw was Onion ssb dupe too...

I may skip the OSB lucky draw. I can't think of any OSB other than maybe Orlandeau (which I have) that's still relevant today.

Yeah, I'm definitely skipping the OSB lucky draw. The odds of getting one of the few OSBs that are still useful in today's meta is really, really low.

Crystal Tower seemed much harder this time. Vaan BSB finally found use against Bahamut, you can only beat it with breaks or 3+ healers.

I did Bahamut with Tidus, Ramza, Paine, Vaan, Yuna. Missed mastery first time because I had 3 dead at the end and thought that was alright for mastery (would have reset otherwise, you actually need 3 alive) but mastered it the second round.

Here's video of my crystal tower full CM clear with no retreats if it's helpful to anyone: Video

Full CM run was:
  • Bahamut: Tidus, Paine, Ramza, Vaan, Yuna
  • Dainsef: Lightning, Kain, Reks, Cinque, Yshtola
  • Guardian: Onion, Ingus, Luneth, Refia, Arc
  • Tiamat: Sazh, Papalymo, Raines, Nabaat, Vanille

Still, a lot of good stat sticks in the lucky osb draw right? I got Vayne's osb sword, has atk and magic and boost to dark, also got 4 other relics none of which were dupes, so I made out well for a lucky draw!

I didn't make out especially well in tonights USB draw. Went 1/11 with Rydia's USB1. I was excited for a moment because I thought it was her USB2, but nope :(

Now that the lucky draws and parade draws are over, I went ahead and did all my library selections and my wonder select. Here's the big list of all my selects and parade/lucky draws for anyone curious:

Code:
FFT -- Orlandeau OSB (dupe)
FF14 -- Alphinaud BSB (dupe)
FF13 -- Sazh LMR (dupe)
FF12 -- Reks LMR
FF11 -- Lion USB
FF10 -- Tidus SSB (dupe)
FF9 -- Steiner BSB
FF8 -- Squall LMR
FF7 -- Aeris LMR
FF6 -- Mog SSB
FF5 -- Krile SSB
FF4 -- Palom BSB
FF3 -- Onion SSB (dupe)
FF2 -- Leon LMR
FF1 -- Wol USB

Wonder: Vincent BSB (dupe), Minwu LMR, Galuf LMR
Wonder Select: Ayame BSB

Lucky1: Ramza BSB2
Lucky2: --skipped--
Lucky3: Rydia USB1

Library1: Bartz Unique
Library2: Exdeath Unique
Library3: Selphie SSB
Library4: Rinoa SSB
Library5: Quina SSB
Library6: Deuce BSB
Library7: Bartz BSB (fire)
Library8: Papalymo BSB
Library9: Rydia BSB (earth)

From that whole list my biggest prize was probably Squall's LMR, which is kind of a shame. Hoping for better luck with the fest banners starting tomorrow !

I lack any and all deets about this batch of pulls, but compared to 3rd anni, it was awful; that's why I don't remember the various shit I received. That's okay though - just means all the luck is in the 5 banners, rite?

Good luck friends!

Cecil USB from USB Lucky. Not great for helping clear content, but I am at least a bit of a Cecil fanboy.

I initially skipped it because it was just gil, but I went back for the D260 CM vs Dark Cecil and managed to beat it today after a bunch of attempts and team reworks. Was one of the harder fight's I've in done in quite a while, so felt good to find a team that worked. I used:

Kain -- BSB + CSB
Edward -- wrath/entrust battery for Kain
Porom -- SSB medica
Ceodore -- BSB
Dark Cecil -- old +30% atk unique

I don't have anyone legend dived from FF4. Problem I kept having with various teams was always running out of time before dealing enough damage because of the doom timer. Then I remembered that video of the guy doing Famfrit with Kain just spamming his CSB over and over, so I figured I'd try that here.... and it worked way better than I expected. I really wish I had his USB even more now :(

I see your 2/1 and raise you the 2/2 that I didn't bother SSing, which was Orlandu USB, Elarra USB, Elarra LMR, Seifer LMR, after pulling Seifer CSB and Vanille BSB on my previous two pulls. Only 3 non-dupes left on the banner for me, which is a shame because Sinzar also struck out on super wall, which means if Angel doesn't get it the discord MP team is still gonna be stuck relying on pugs for it

*edit*

p.s. ask Sinzar how much mithril he has spent on banners with Orlandu USB featured, if you open a window first you'll probably be able to hear the 'FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU' echoing across the land
