A couple of tickets got me another 35CP for Lili. I'll take it. *shrugs*

Free pulls got me more powerstone's.

Looks like it's early Cosmos since the score missions are tied to the expert stage and not EX, it's better this way anyway.
Reddit with the obvious "If you got both synergy characters EXs weapon, EX stage is a cakewalk" lol

It's also faster and thus more rewarding in regard to time invested to grind the 50 coop and not the 100 one.

Got 3 powerstones from the free pulls.

Kinda want both EX weapons but the rest of the banners are pretty mediocre. I might use a few tickets (all of them)

This time with 10 tickets. But with 40 tix and 10k gems on Agrias banner the 35CP for Faris still eludes me :/

2 Free Draws = 1 Lightning 15cp I needed, and 4 Power Stones. Had 9940 gems.

Did 1 pull on Lightning and went 1/11 with Lightning EX. Hadn't been lucky in a while so, good to see. I don't have Lightning broke or built up, and no 35 CP though. I guess later I'll have to put some research into her, and decide whether or not she is worth MLB'ing everything.

I will do a 5000 pull Bartz once I get a few more gems. Then of course that's it for a little while.

The EX stage isn't that hard, first try I got everything but the required turns (99 instead of 90)
Team was Sazh / Lilisette / Bartz (no EX) and Brother / Layle

This global timeline forecast was shared in a discord I'm in, and it is super, super helpful so figured I'd share it here too. It's a text based timeline rather than that graphic that would go around and has things like links to different resources for recommended artifacts, boss statistics etc. Props to the player who put it together.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet..._CwJflSITyJuWYJ6RI4Wvrx5ZM/edit#gid=172340494

Of course it's always subject to change but it's helpful to get an idea for what's to come.

Lightning EX after 3 tickets! I dunno how but I'm happy! I have enough power stones to get her 35 maxed as well. I think it's worth it especially since she's in the eidoja pool. My artifacts for her are terrible so time to change that

Edit: seems I'm not the only one who got lucky! Grats guys!

Grats on the Lightning EXs guys!! Her EX animation is awesome.

I was going to try a few pulls at it but I had what I needed from the rest of the banner so I switched over to Agrias for one last shot and miraculously finally got her EX. Did one more pull hoping for her 35cp and got that too, along with two copies of Ashe's 35 which was enough to max her. Crazy good luck on those two pulls, makes up for the four I did earlier with no returns.

Got all coop reward, it was nice but there was a bit too much stuff and we got 5 free books anyway (only used on though)
Looks like there is no more event planned after Eidoja part 2 so a new livestream should be coming soon.

Nice, I'm still chasing her EX with tickets but really no luck. I dunno if I should use gems. With the schedule you posted... it seems like characters I want are very soon. I gotta make a decision sooner or later haha.

Btw, if anyone needs a Lightning. I set Lightning as my support! She's full MLB with EX and I also got some neat artifacts for 2 hours of eidoja farming. I could get better but double oranges are nice.

Finally completed Agrias' EX. Honestly was drained from these last few EX fights so I was going to skip it but since I ended up with a maxed Agrias I gave it a shot.

Yeah, May and June are jam packed. I'm trying my best to hoard my gems; it's going so-so lol. Hopefully I'll get lucky with tickets somewhere.

Agrias' EX is a weird one. It's recast is slow and there's no brave overflow so it already feels somewhat outdated, but that silence debuff can be super clutch on magic users. I'm personally glad I went for it, but I think she can still be effective without it. Good luck if you decide to spend some gems on the chase!

Rinoa, Lenna, and Sephiroth are the next big EX's for me. I might not worry about Seph's and maybe go for Vayne's instead. I'll keep thinking about it.

Definitely Rinoa and Lenna, here's hoping I can get one of them through tickets so I don't have to go through all of my gems.

I remember when Noctis got his rework on JP, it was about the same time they got the free EX they want from the main FF characters, everyone hyped this and he was really strong indeed, but it feels like his time in the spotlight was short-lived just like with his initial release.
Anyway, June will be expensive for me as well, finally all that hoarding will pay off.

I finished both the expert and EX fight. Comp was Lightning MLB EX, Lilisette 60/60 1 LB 35 CP, Beatrix MLB ex and Bartz friend. I killed Caius on exactly turn 90. What a clutch and he has SOOOO MUCH HEALTH. Thank god for Lightning stealing turns or I wouldnt complete this.

And yep, livestream tomorrow! Let's hope they won't have the same issue as last one.

Most likely as dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway - why is it that some of my assist characters only get 3 turns and then others get 5? Is it dependent on the other players rank?

Well I finally have everyone at level 60. I want to try and get as many characters as I can to 60 crystal awakening but need to be careful so that I have enough for Rinoa and Quistis. Selphie isn't for a long time so I shouldn't need to worry.

I don't remember when they started releasing the second 5* armour but I'm assuming that will be soon so I need to make sure I have enough tokens to easily grab all the VIII ones.

My 98% of the time rule which is keeping all VIII items I pull is going to cause me inventory issues but I guess I can just expand with some gems lol Anyway here is my current VIII hoarding.

It was around Golbez event (end of it), so June it is.

We might get it earlier but without summon boards, it's useless to have this much CP.

My pulls for Agrias EX didn't go too well. I ended up dropping 30k or so on it and came out with an mlb 15 and 35 at least. I guess she will be useful though so not all is lost. I went a bit overboard though.

The ex stage I managed to clear but not get a full complete. Oh well, it really wasnt worth the soft resetting time to do it.

Some catching up today.
Palom LC Cleared-247K
Destinies at Odds lvl 100 - 233k

Free draws-
5 Powerstones
Ace 35cp

The one item on both banners I didn't' have. So, that went way better then expected. More powerstones is a plus too. Looking forward to the stream!

6 powerstones with the new free draws, neat.
I'm reaching 375k gems hoarded pretty soon so it looks like my must get EX will be Quistis -> Golbez -> Rinoa -> Lenna -> Serah (depending on how they handle her new artifact passives)
Will probably need another one near the end of the 60 era but I should be set with this, and I already got Cloud/WoL EX for the start of the 70 era.

Only 2 powerstones from the free draws :(

Having issues getting under 90 turns for the EX. Thankful that it isn't tied to score at least.

My pulls weren't great. Just 15cp for Tidus and Vaan.
It was around Golbez event (end of it), so June it is.

Ah I thought so since I know Rinoa released with her second armor but just curious if it was supposed to have started before that release frame of Golbez and then Rinoa.

I do wonder if we will see anymore events get moved up again but I have a feeling we are going to get another Global new character surprise which will push everything back.

More power stones from the free draws. They really didn't go well for me, the 4 in total that is.

Wazzy - Are Zell's Trousers (I think that's what I recognized) really good stats for other characters? I didn't look too hard, or think about it hard, but it seemed like you had those equipped on everybody. One of my personal quirks is I won't equip a gear that isn't that person's. So for example Lenna goes to battle with her default gear since I have nothing for her.

Just more powerstones from my free draws. I did pass 100k gems though, and I'm proud of myself with how well I've been saving.

Also, it looks like Ignis is the next story character in the JP version.

Here is the update for Ignis and some other mysterious character. Most guesses on Reddit seem to be Gau and Eight.

It also looks like Rinoa and Golbez Lost Chapters are happening. Rinoa and Irvine are getting their Ex+

Not really. I just have so many and want to VIII-ify everyone. lol

I bet this stream will make me regret spending on Agrias. Oh well, there's still plenty of catchup to do. Gotta do the last few LC on hard still except Maria's and chapter 1 of act 2 on hard.

Making uploading picture and sh*t internet don't mesh well together, haha.
It takes like 2 mins to upload.
