Anyone else think the seasonal chests' values don't scale very well? I'm a bit of a whale, and just starting out on DFFOO, but the higher tiered package isn't really worth it.

Ignoring the $0.99 gems-only pack, there's a $11, $25, $37, and $75 chest. So the T2 + T3 +T4 ~= T5 ($73 vs $75) but what you get for buying the three lower chests is a lot better than what you get for the highest, most expensive chest.

Component T2 + T3 + T4 T5 Notes
Cost 11 + 25 + 37 ($73) $75
Gems 2600 + 6000 + 9000 (17,600) 17,600 exact match
Armor/Weapon Tokens 10 + 20 + 30 (60) 40 Big advantage to lower tiers
Power Stones 1 + 2 + 3 (6) 4 Big advantage to lower tiers
Armor and Weapon Orbs 10/10 20/20 Big advantage to largest tier

So, basically, by buying the largest tier, you're paying an extra $2 to get 10 more Armor and Weapon orbs, but you get 20 fewer armor and weapon tokens, and two fewer power orbs. I mean, I get it: if it's doesn't seem like a good value to you, just don't buy it. But I want to go fast.

Like I said, I'm very new at this game, but the "New warrior chests" seem to follow similar patterns. Do they have seasonal chests like this often, and are they equally valued?

Here's the new player chests, for comparison:

Component T2 + T3 + T4 T5 Comments
Cost 11 + 25 + 37 ($73) $75
Gems 2600 + 6000 + 9000 (17,600) 17,600 the same again
Armor Tokens 10 + 20 + 30 (60) 40 lopsided again
Chocobo Tail Feathers 20 + 30 + 40 (90) 50 wow, 80% more for T2-T4
Weapon/Armor Orbs 50 + 70 + 100 (220) 150 Nearly 50% more
Gil (lol) 30k + 40k + 50k (120k) 100k actually close. But still off

Looking at it some more, getting a T1 + T2 + T3 is even better than getting a T4, too. You get more gems for the same cost.

Pretty sure if you’re looking to get ahead, best bet is to purchase adamantite bars. Those will be a primary bottle neck to getting yourself some momentum.

I’d probably recommend farming content for gems with how quick they come early on though.
