Yes. Check rewards for the Elite version of Tidus' event. There are crystals for Wakka & Tidus, so you can break their caps. I imagine the others will be added when their event comes, or from new dungeons.

Memory Crystals come from specific events for specific characters. I THINK that both Tidus' and Wakka's crystals can be obtained by completing the higher level dungeons currently active.

Has anyone spent real money into this at all? I know a friend who spent over 200 and I'm so tempted to restore my stamina lol.

i've spent $10 so far. Only because I really wanted to get to 50 asap to do the events and actually get characters since i got in late. and because I was really enjoying the game so i figured I'd thank SE.
I think $10 is what ill spend for now. since now i have a bunch of mithril and no need to pay money to refil stamina if its ever needed again

spent around 35$ was when i was newer and needed more equips, so bought an 11 draw. the way i see it, a new ps4 game costs 60$ and I've played those less than i do with this one. This game is easily worth at least some money, though should still suffice for those who are willing to f2p onry it.

I won't spend more though, I figure this game is about the worth of a game boy game and 30 bucks is OK IMO.
By Draylo 2015-06-08 15:15:20
Damn, I put 6 dollars like a month ago and got two 3 stars and said never again to spending on pulls lol. I could justify stamina but not pulls.

I've been playing for a week now. I've spent $12, and don't plan on spending more any time soon. I think I've been lucky to get five 5-Star equips so far. I spend all of my Mythril on Relic draws, which may not be a great strategy; there is a lot of down time for me.
Qnh2 if interested :D

Just for the record, here is a table of realm synergy bonuses:
Level 1-4 +15
Level 5-9 +20
Level 10-14 +30
Level 15-19 +40
Level 20-24 +50
Level 25-29 +60
Level 30 +70
Has this been altered any? Or are there additional bonuses depending on if a weapon is + or ++? Found this a little awkward thanks to Optimize:
Compared to:
Is that just a weird occurrence with +40 levels benefiting the Greatsword more, or is it because it's ++ and it receives a larger bonus?

I wouldn't cave to the pressure of trying to finish all these ROEs yet. They don't look like they are going anywhere, and some of them are just a waste of stamina and materials right now. They can be done later. I'd more focus on these times events and farming those higher level orbs and such.
True, I guess checklists is just a thing that bugs me - it makes it more difficult for me to ignore (even if they are wastes of materials -_-) "Sure, lets make another Fire* that I will never actually use since I have Firega*** and Fireja****"

@Malothar - interesting. They must have changed the values ninja style. That's cool either way. My guess is they did it to further benefit the crowd of players who haven't been lucky at relic draw to get a 5*. It means 3* pulls basically got a buff if you;ve buffed it twice, putting unlucky players up higher (assuming they have combined several pieces of gear).
Another interesting tidbit about Optimize is that it will give the strongest item to the weakest player who can use it. I had Tidus and Locke in group doing Tidus event. 5*+ Warrior Sword went to Locke who is about 15 levels under Tidus.
And about that pay2play debate. Im just about over it, as it is 100% up to the person playing. You have to ask yourself how important the game is to you vs. how important the money is? Its relevant. I used to be strongly against buying anything in this game (even yelled at my wife for buying extra lives in candy crush)). But then I think about all the money i waste at my work cafeteria or vending machines on candy and other food that I later regret eating. How big of a deal is 3 bucks? I spend that on a pack of gum and tic tacs.
The way I see it, if you're getting value out of your purchase, its worth it. An item is only worth what you're willing to pay for it. I'm unwilling to buy lunches at my job, and i even scoff at eating out, because I'd rather prepare my own. But occasionally I do it when its convenient. Its not a waste of money or OMGURALOSER if it fulfills a need for a particular time.
People who own a house think renting a home is a waste of money, but it fulfills a need for that particular time. It's only a waste if the money you spent proved no value later on. And money is just paper. Easy come, easy go. If you're short on cash, though, its likely not a wise decision. But have at it.

Though the number wont match my math 100% accurate, but its reasonable:
Greatsword lv1: 14
Greatsword lv15: 40
-> att/lv ~ 1.73 att/lv
Falchion lv1: 22
Falchion lv15: 45
-> att/lv ~ 1.53 att/lv
Realm Synergy in an item lv15: +40lvs
Greatsword: 40 + 40*1.73 ~110
Falchion: 45 + 40*1.53 ~ 101
So, imo, greatsword benefits more from realm synergy because it has a higher growth rate than falchion.
Normally, though, the native higher rank item will be stronger than a same lv but lower rank item. So, i just attribute the diference just to weapon characteristic.

Loving the new daily layouts. *licks lips* Can't wait till Non-Elemental orb day. Mhm. Can't wait.
Re: Tidus
There's a jump in difficulty when you fight Sinspawn Ammes (Elite). Those adds will wreck if you don't have the DPS to take out the boss before you get worn down. Everything up to the Tidus record crystal (Mushroom Rock, Valley Floor) was pretty ezpz.

Any runs with a major orb reward is usually a good sign it's about to a difficulty spike.

Should I do 11 mythril pull from Locke or Tidus banners? I am not sure if they are possibly worth it or not.

I'm tempted to because FFX has crap synergy available but then you have FFVI which has *alot* of synergy and I'm pulled towards waiting for the next FFVII event where Cloud gets another OP weapon.

You guys think I should use all my growth eggs on tidus? it will take him right to 50. hes at 30 now *from eggs* but im about to get his lvl cap break. just not sure if i want to save eggs for a better character. and not sure which character event is next.
also idk best way to lvl. unless its just the exp daily event

Personally, i want all my chars at lv50 so i plan to use my eggs in my core chars, because they suck a lot to level (they are extremelly weak, fragile, low hp, defense, attack, etc, etc). Mainly black and red mage, with their paper defense and laughable hp.
About exping, using realm synergy you have extra +50% exp earned, so repeating stages in your realm will prove better than others place. But neglecting the synergy factor, the most stamina effocient dungeon to exp is vector classic stage 2 (7000 exp/7 staminas - 5 waves, 3-4 enemies per wave). You can try soloing (if your char allow) or 2/3 maning easy this dungeon. With retaliate, its easy to clear solo. Without retaliate, its faster/safer using AoE (blade blitz, quake, summons). You can keep doing stage 1 and retreating to restore abilities.

thanks for the tip. i really need bladeblitz. or i can just use dragon twice.. then always bring in a roaming warrior with aoe. should make it cake.

For those tempted to spend cash, started just now some banner festival (old relics coming back), and for each diferent banner (there will be 5 in total), your first relic pull just costs 0.99$ (100 gems).
Its said "huge drop bonus" but it seems (comparing some people saying in reddit) its your average 10% 5*. Pulled mine, got crap 5* lance. and i read someone did a 11 pull and got 11 3* (lol...)

lol got kicked out mid-Locke event during a fight. I thought the game would let you at least finish...
Did an 11 pull on this new banner event, got the Official Ball and mostly 4 star items. I is pleased. Except the part where I *just* missed weapon/armor item day.
By Pantafernando 2015-06-09 20:46:43
I have mixed feeling about this, i guess i will spend 4$ just to benefit the discount of 66% off and save my mythril for later.
Comparing with jp banner festival, the order seems diferent. Still, maybe there will be all big one relic plus some new ones like Warrior of Light, Luneth, Gordon and maybe the Clouds second relic.
Im interested in Vanilles relic though.

I was hoping for the dark sword but did a 100 gem pull and 50 mithril and got genji armor. I'm ok with that. i needed a good armor. Also on my 50 for ffx banner i got monk robe -.- wish i got the damn sword.
Started playing a few days ago under the suggestion from a linkshell mate. The game is definitely nostalgic, & I am having a blast. It's for iOS, and Android smartphones and tablets. Currently trying to complete these timed events.
Any one else loving the global release of this game? It's been out in Japan for some time. We finally get in on the goodies
