I decided to just do my Tidus RM2 slowly on dailies and events, took like 2-3 months before I got it. RMs are horrible for drop rates.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone~! I guess I'm just lucky and unlucky in some respects since most of my RM unlocks have usually occurred within 20 battles when I started to unlock them and Tidus' RM2 is just going to be that one painful one to get.
Just clobbered the 99 difficulty tier on Eternal Calm and still no unlock so I guess back to Zanarkand / Besaid for me. Would like to have this RM before I try traversing the high-tier FFII realm though it seems like I might have to try to go without. I don't think my team is powerful enough to handle Ults yet but it would be nice to get down to Thief's Revenge since I hear good things about that (though I don't even have a good THF unlocked yet, I think).
[EDIT] Are there any particular known conditions that I need to do aside from just keep the party member in question in the party and fighting in the correct realm? Do they need to participate at all like attack? Or their presence alone is enough? Because if they need to "do something" to be considered I think I'll just stuff Tidus by his lonesome down there smacking stuff.
I know I'm just asking a bunch of stupid question at this point but would like to be absolutely sure I'm doing things "just right" to maximize my RNG-ness >>; Thanks for all the help~

You should have Rikku unlocked from this event. While generally she isn't that amazing, in this event she's going to be a beast.
65 + Realm Synergy puts her at enough speed to do max hit Thiefs Revenge. We just got a free FFX 5* dagger for her. Power Steal + Dagger will put her near the attack cap, meaning 5x attack capped Thief Raid is going to hit like a truck.
Obviously though this means having 65 Rikku (so lots of eggs if you're new), having Thiefs Revenge and it honed, and having Steal Power and it honed. Not that high of requirements for veterans but honing any 5* is hard, I can't even get R3 of it yet.

Why the heck does the X event just randomly give protectga as a reward.

the 120 Boss only uses Physical attacks and is immune to Power Break during his burst whatever... my only guess.

That's actually a really good thought. If I manage to get Thief's Revenge from FFII I'll probably end up egging Rikku to at least 50 (I have enough eggs to get around 4-5 50s) and maybe stuff in Orb Event for EXP to 60-65 range in prep for the high-tier Eternal Dawn dungeons.
Why the heck does the X event just randomly give protectga as a reward.
If I would take a random guess, because the 99 difficulty boss is mostly physical and can't be Power Break'd after oversoul, so it's there to help out new players who are just hitting this tier of content, perhaps? *Random thoughtful shrug?* I had a R2 Protectga already so I know it didn't do me any good, lol.

Literally do just that! It took about 200 stamina's worth of Zanarkand to get it, with RM3s just do Fabul castle- should be 1 stamina a go :)

Kind of wish we just got Water of strength instead of a repeat ability :<

I mean it makes sense that it applies to the event, I just don't think I've ever seen them hand out an ability that's existed for like a year now.
Speaking of random abilities. Who's breaking down the Dragoon and Monk 5*s? I just can't imagine ever using these and the Winds certainly could go towards that juicy Thiefs Raid.

100gem, one of the couple ones that I've gotten a 5* from. Not the best I could've gotten, in fact prolly the worst, but it's still a strong relic and good for Synergy I guess. Thanks Google Rewards for asking me if I forage for truffles.
Also, made my schedule for the next 2.5 weeks so I can have 4 11 pulls on FFT

I love google rewards, they did a thing where you got a 6$ credit for having a chromecast not that long ago too so I haven't had to spend money on 100 gem pulls in a while.

lol Tyro SSB. It's like the game knows I don't like Tyro.
Is this thing ever good outside a free 10 attack if I ever pull SG and have to use Tyro?
I couldn't have got a 5* I wanted less.

It doesn't even get Synergy anywhere does it(Aside from a few dailies)? So trash, sorry... "Core" Really should have gotten synergy in Event dungeons. Make tyro's book useful for something.

I can't find the multipliers anywhere, does it even out damage SLG?

nope, 6.0x and earth is a fairly common element to get resisted. Also 1 less hit than SLG so even if the multipliers were equal it has less damage potential

I did an 11-pull and got Last Judgement Grimoire, that was the one item i wanted the most in this banner.
Extra 10 attacks are invaluable for Tyro, rising him from 21 to 19 in the lv80 attack ranking (tied with Rinoa). And the SSB, while weaker than SLG, its good in 2 situations: 1. When mob absorb or nulifies lightning damage like Thunder Gigas and 2. When there are multiples enemies.
LJG can be very good against current ultimate.
Now, if i manage to get Valiant Knife in the 4th set of banners, im done in this SSSB celebration. Regardless, it has been very good for me so far.

I wouldn't really recommend AoE on the current ultimate anyways, better to single target down and only AoE if it's already a better single target spell to begin with.

JPN version has this interesting system. You get like, Gyshal Greens or something from doing daily dungeons that you can exchange for Mythril/Eggs/Materials/Record Dive Mats(I think)/3*-5* Orbs.

Just thinking a little bit beyond what's right in front of my face. 392 mythril suggests kept doing 11 draws until they got a nice juicy one and took a screen shot.

I don't for sure, but who sits on that many from farming them legit. Not like it really matters bought or not. Just gave my 2 cents

The gems didn't magically give them higher drops rates on the 5*s. And of course they probably haven't hoarded that much 'legititimately'. There's a nearly finite amount of Mythril available in the game.

Obviously lol, but more chances to get a great pull if you do it 20 times due to having 1000 mythril

Vivi's RM3 is the best thing ever
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
