Are they releasing an MC2 with this event? I'd really like to Lv.80 my Zack. He's got both his glove and Buster Sword. ;;
Also, my Cid is doing work with the new Polearm. Its 50% ATK boost stacks with Aerith's Planet Protector. Then he gets a 25% DEF boost AND Haste?! I'll take it! 6 charges of Lifesiphon and Ace Striker or Knight's Charge fill him up 3 gauges, not counting damage taken. Now to wait an eternity for HIS MC2!
Cloud's Fusion Sword still eludes me. Back to grinding elite story dungeons for mythril!
None know what MC2 will come this time. It seems japanese had the empty MC to exchange for any MC2 like the event we had in december but we still dont have Hall of Rituals.
But none said we wont get it. Maybe we will get it soon considering Cloud bonus battle will take longer than usual to come. Great. ;; If they release Tifa's or Barret's first I'm gonna toss my phone away! But judging by the storyline, I'd wager it is Zack's.
Isnt Advent Child the movie from FF7? Iirc, Zack barely appeared in the movie.

Do notice that event dungeons now gives more exp than before so currently FF7 best leveling place is the last dungeon from event, giving around 2300 exp/stamina.

If you want to call up my Aerith's Planet Protector as RW, my friend code is QoUG.

Talking about Zack, this Fusion Sword costed more dozen of fists. Currently I have a 7* Zacks glove, 7* Tiger Fang, 6* Platinum Fist aside the one Tiger Fang I used as augment for the sword.
I think I could give 2 gloves for every FF7 hand if I wanted...

i just picked the game back up like a month ago after a 6month hiatus, seriously regret stopping -.-;
my party was super underwhelming before this banner, decided to drop over 100myth on it. landed every relic except fusion sword :/
on the bright side, i have one kick *** team now! Zack,tifa,cid,red and tyro as whm. all have relic SB's that are multihit outside of tyro lol. (he's using lulbration grimoire)
Tifa's sb gives +35% atk, combined with Cid's and he just hits like a truck even on ++/+++ fights. pretty happy :0 saving rest of my myth for lucky banner and tactics :3

Over 200 mythril later and no Fusion sword :'(
I did manage a magic comb though...

I was so excited to have pulled fusion sword but after trying it out, I must say I am a bit disappointed. The free abilities are pretty lackluster. Once the after-effects are on, Lifesiphon + Blade Beam (yeah, I have been very lucky with Cloud pulls) appears to a lot more stronger. It is just that I can't make up my mind on what else to set alongside Lifesiphon for this setup.

Honestly I just wanted it for the atk+

Nothing seems to last long when i combine it with PP and full break. Currently finishing off my elite dungeons for stamina.

I usually just set either a spellblade or Tempo Flurry as the 2nd slot for Cloud depending on boss requirements.

Full Break plus Breakdowns with advance RW really make it shine...

It is just that I can't make up my mind on what else to set alongside Lifesiphon for this setup. I'm the opposite, I didn't really care about it but now that I have it I'm excited. Quad Cut hits really hard with 80% crit, not uncommon to get at least 20k+ per AA which is just insane. My Lifesiphons have serious issue getting even close to the damage cap so it's a big difference using Quad Cut vs Life Siphon. The actual SB isn't the most OP thing in the world but Fenrir should still do more damage, especially if you are super buffed.
Blade Beam 3 hit 2.1x = 6.3
Fenrir 8 hit 1x = 8
Quad Cut is 4 hit .5x with 80% crit and the burst bonuses to Attack/Speed. It's not unlikely to hit for 5k a hit or more with it, which makes it hard for Lifesiphon + Blade Beam to even come close.

I believe the problem with Cloud BSB will be fixed once Scream arrives.
I do admit its a bother having to bring PP or Advance to see Cloud at his best, considering at some point i will need to hastega. It was easier with thieves as they could buff themselves while debuffing, but Cloud really depend on other to hit the big numbers.

I am glad BSB stacks with buffs at least. Would have been a huge pain to time using BSB then use my Hastega/Attack buffs.
Also I've got to the point where I don't even log in and use my stam :|. Full cleared the story, full cleared the events going on, have all the hones I need. Need moar stuff to do.

Can confirm, Scream + Fenrir Drive is a killer combo to have on a team

Eh, got Organics in my 100-pull.
So much dispair i suffered to get any damn sword for Cloud. A bit late, but my Cloud will really enjoy extra 10 attacks.

Bahamutt seemed a messy fight trying to wait damn adds to respawn. I left them for last, and the constant flare spam plus mega flares destroyed my chance for mastery.

Hmm, I'm wondering if I should save some mythril for Ramza's SSB if I already have Planet Protector and Boon.

I'd pull during the SSB fest for SG/SS2 if you already have Hastega, Attack-ga, and medica. At least that's my plan since I have Flames of War which is basically scream-1.
I'm not sure which of the two I want to go for though, I'm not a fan of Tyro but having my wall attached to a healer would be problematic.

I definitely need some more variety in good soul breaks, because I'm almost permanently locked into a party with Cloud (SSB and BSSB), Aeris (Planet Protector and Healing Wind), Tyro (Sentinel's Grimoire), and Sazh (Boon). I'm thinking of pulling for Aeris's SSB when it shows up because apparently Thyrus is in the same pool and having a second wall would be nice for those boss fights with Ultimate Dispel, but I have absolutely no SB mage weapons and I might be shooting myself in the foot by not having a good nuke squad.

The SSB fest pools will likely be very different than they were for JP. They got murdered last time, I think there was a banner with both Boon and SS2 and they straight up removed Boon from the SSB fest possibilities and put in like khims lance or some ***.
I'm pretty limited right now too. I have to use Lenna because Hastega, which means if I got SS2 I'd have to bring two "healers". Since I'm using SB gauge on that I need some kind of Medica on not my Whm, so Yuffie for me. I would love to have Hymn and use Yuna as a Smn. Plus Cloud BSSB.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Ramza is just that good
I would seriously consider at least saving -something- for the Tactics event, because getting one of his SSBs is enough to change your entire party formation for the better

He seems like a solid character with great stats, I just don't see why I'd need his SSB when I already have a hastega and party attack +50%.

it depends on composition, but having one character perform two other characters' SSB roles opens up options for replacing those other characters with other options
it's not vital if you already have hastega and attack+, but it's really nice to give Ramza the Mog materia and have him start off every boss with instant hastega+attack bonus, and have healers with stronger buff and healing potential
tl;dr it gives you flexibility with your setup
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
