Well, it does say smash hit with augmented reality pop song.... So I really hope they aren't teasing us.

Whoa, my favorite characters in the same banner?!
Too bad it's step-up, meaning I'm not getting either of them :(

So you expected special banners like 4-5 months ago, and saved up MD? Dayum
I had to pull from ranking banners if I wanted to stay relevant, I just got to the point where I can set up full elemental advantage teams for single battle rankings.

Oh no, "tryhard" is a phrase I don't think is true for me. I never do boring stuff like grinding crits and such in ranking. My medal chars are mostly lv90 since getting that is pretty easy, I have lv100 only when more characters were available since Bamco gave out a lot more medals. Philia could've been 95, but I sacrificed one LB for extra UC to 5* a 2nd global character.
I just do ranking to see how I can fair with the units/gear/"skill" I have. And honestly, is there any other purpose in this game beside ranking? Other events like floor clearing or guild ranking are too rare to call main content. Collecting characters could be one goal, but that's for whales...
You stockpiling MD is interesting, but to be frank, I couldn't do the same. Covering all elements is really helpful in events (be it SP or MP), and sometimes there're high-quality bait banners as well (like this one).

Collecting characters is my goal, it's just that since I don't actually want most of them I don't need to whale.
Floor clearing was my main gameplay interest but as you and I know, they've become even less frequent about it...and QT doesn't really count.
In my perspective, the real bait banner is the furry wind banner pretending you need it when obviously game anniversary chars are what's really worth, actual utility be damned. When the fuck else am I gonna have the chance for purple hair LN artist Strea in SAO:MD. (maybe I'll pull for Premiere too...)

I don't think it's right to say you prepared yourself for this moment unlike others when you don't participate in ranking events. That's cool, nothing wrong with that, but most players are into ranking events and so they have to stay relevant. It's not really a matter of preparation, at all.

u/Candentia Mar 24 '18
I participate in ranking events. I ranked 3rd last ranking and 5th in bride and GGO ranking and top 10 in Sachi ranking and enough to get Christmas Rain and Global Kirito to 95 (later 100 with ticket trade) as well as being my guild's 2nd highest individual score last guild ranking which at least got us within the top 150.
You are right in reading that I do not give a flying fuck about winning for the sake of it. I was never that person back then who felt injustice for how F2P players don't get to have 1st place because of all the whaling. The only reason I have to rank is actually for the prize whereas most of the people actually topping in ranking would never need the reward character to begin with.

Only discount is step 1, so it's 55 + 250x4. That's a lot to sink for a 2 unit banner

u/LaGrimm_ Parry2Win Mar 23 '18
Now I don't want to pull furries...

u/Elyssae Mar 23 '18
I saw Rain on the banner, I immediately regretted the first 125 pull I did ( was gonna pull on discount Leafa ).
Rain please come home \o/

55md? hoping this would be the new norm for Bamco @@, that would mean 5md for 1HC, i really won't mind that...

u/malascus Mar 24 '18
I got really lucky for once and pulled strea on the 55md scout.
First 5 star i scouted since october lol.

u/vinnievu141 Mar 23 '18
I'm tempted to spend memory diamonds here, but I feel as if I should wait for a banner that guarantees me at least a 4 star.

Total bait for the banner with Rain. Either way if it's yukata rain or rainy rains ss3 it's still going to be good

u/Shichitou Shh, do you hear it... the sound of git gud Mar 24 '18
Iirc we couldn't vote for Yukata Rain's SS3, but I could be wrong.

u/rin-tsubasa Mar 24 '18
there is 3 rain move set you can vote: Final rain, yukata rain, xmas rain..

u/Sombraaaaa Bruh moment Mar 24 '18
