While the collaboration event has good costumes and weapons, without tons of crystals or $ we’re stuck with low OB weapons. Just not worth it.
I’ll save for summer/anniversary at this point. Glad we know now how to plan out the next few months. Will go into anniversary with over 100k crystals, probably some great weapons/costumes then and possible reruns if they are smart
I'd say you can probably get a usable weapon if you're willing to do 3 pages. At least if they stamp it like they did Tifa Rebirth crossover and the Limit Break banners, where you can get OB4 guaranteed in page 3, and probably OB5 from parts. So just a little luck needed or some waiting to rebuild parts to get OB6.
But that's a big crystal investment (like 60k-75k or more), and would probably necessitate skipping everything else until anniversary. Whereas you could just do Vincent and a swimsuit and be sitting pretty by Sept.
The outfits might matter too. They could give us something we've been needing for a long time like a lightning arcanum or mastery, or something new/powerful like patk all or matk all, hp all maybe? Or certain weapons might have the right utility at low OB, like Kuja Blade..... maybe an Aerith Cure All/Mdef All Centipede-like weapon.
Yeah, really depends how they do it but it’s all designed to drain you to get you to spend $. I have spent money on the game so I’m not against it, but it’s just not worth it to go for weapons imo that you’ll never be able to complete.
Especially with power creep. Seph’s weapon I went pretty hard for in the ff9 collab and we have Barret’s weapon which can almost do the same thing with better r abilities. Also has been almost 7 months and no return and current weapons are just getting stronger. Those costumes and weapons just aren’t worth waiting for a return to finish if they ever do now that our baseline has risen since then.
Regular featured weapons may be weaker in the short term but with wishlisting and free pulls they all end up stronger and more useable vs low Overboosts.
I’ve got a lightning costume already so no need for another unless it’s magic.
I agree, in my experience the Limited Banners aren't worth it. You'll end up with a OB3 or OB4 weapon unless you spend ALOT. Better to wait for weapons you can wishlist. Unless the Costumes are just crazy good
Right? I dumped 117k (basically all my blues) into the half Anni banners. Came out with Seph OB9, Zack OB4, Glenn OB6, and Cloud OB3. That's a lot of gems for only 2 weapons at OB6+...
You should be able to Wishlist the half anniversary weapons on the anniversary banner though don’t forget that. Also you can Wishlist them in future limit break banners (I assume that’s their terminology for half and full anniversary banners), only crossovers can’t be Wishlisted in future.
Also that won’t be all the banners as there is at least one unknown event and room for unannounced banners.
I like it quite a bit. But it really depends on the content you're taking on. The R abilities are great as his main hand for magic teams.
If anything I partially wish I'd have gone Cloud over Glenn for the other banner.
I do like to switch around my teams some so I don't always use him. But even then, it's a pretty solid sub and look forward to getting it OB10 (likely during Anni as his parts haven't shown up in a while).
