Yeah I think most of these costumes are mainly for people who want the cosmetic because they're obviously a bit dated now in terms of what they do. In my opinion, if someone is considering Cloud's Costume they should just get the current Sephiroth weapon / costume instead (unless they have it already). I almost feel Sephi's weapon at OB1 is just as good (if not better) than an OB6 Maritime, sure the damage is weaker but you get water res down up to high right off the bat and his costume is an Arcanum instead of a Mastery. I think they should have just sent these old costumes to gear exchange and made gear vouchers / season pass more valuable.
Sadly I didn't understand how important costumes were when these first came out. I got all of them but Aerith's, but at the sacrifice of Barret and Cloud's first costumes. So while most people got by with OP physical Lightning Cloud, I was crippled. And because I got so lucky with the Maritime Sword draws, whereas most people struggled with physical water, I overpowered those situations easily. Still, I'm excited about the prospect of returning costumes! I want Cloud's lightning costume!
Maritime pairs perfect with the Mh costume so I feel like there’s no need to pull it if you have that. At ob10 120 Maritime (and his fire, lightning, and Zidane sword too) gets 46 Patk. Add 10 from the MH outfit and his Patk is now maxed and you can devote all sub weapons to other r abilities. The extra 15% physical damage is also so close to the 20% for his water mastery that it really doesn’t feel worth potentially spending 36k crystals. If this banner dropped before the MH one I wouldn’t seriously considered it, but not it feels like a complete skip.
Hey Nite, Happy 4th Brother and to all ‘muricans who see this!! Haha but yeah, I wanted to address something real quick you mentioned in the video. While yes 1% is greater than 0.8% (I appreciate the comment here, I wasn’t quite sure myself 😉) I just wanted to clarify that .8% is the *normal* draw rate for wishlist items. The 1% you’re referring to is only for the “featured” item like Yuffie’s Moogle Floatie on her Banner or Lucia’s Fire Breach weapon but your actual wishlist is 0.8%. The only exception to this is during Single Costume + Weapon banners (we’ve had 3 so far total) I know you mentioned you’re unsure if we’ll get Tifa’s new Summer outfit now with the Rerun happening, but unless we get an *actual* part 2 to this event, then we are absolutely getting Tifa’s outfit next week… Supposedly the Rerun banner is dropping July 7th (Sunday, here in the states) which is not the “normal” time event banners update, as that is typically Wednesday or Thursday. I’m expecting this Rerun banner and then Tifa’s Banner to drop later in the week (my guess is the 10th) also we’re supposedly getting Vincent the 17th of July and that kind of lines up as it’s unrelated to the Summer Banner. Wanted to address a couple comments I saw about the banner, as well. I think if Cloud is your favorite (husbando) *AND* you don’t have his MH Collab outfit, this is a VERY good pickup… Bump what people say about Glenn or Sephiroth… I don’t include Tifa in this because she is *Magical* Water DPS not *Physical* there is a difference! You ultimately want to have a Physical DPS and Magical DPS for each Element (or at least a “generalist” non-elemental build to cover elements you don’t have built) so I wish people would stop saying “I have Tifa, I’m good” okay but she wasn’t particularly useful in the last CRASH event, unless you were a whale, was she? She’s not designed for this ranking event as it’s geared toward Physical and of course, when we get Ramuh EX she won’t be useful there either (Ramuh has like 200+ natural Mag Resist) But on top of all that, despite Maritime Cloud being the “weakest” Water DPS he’s *still* able to hold his own… I have an OB10 Maritime Sword and Clouds Maritime outfit and I was able to be MAIN DPS in the recent Crash event. Arcanum’s *aren’t* required… So yeah, it’s fine if you want to skip this (I totally get it) but I’d skip if you already have a Physical Water DPS already or Cloud’s MH outfit. Last thing I want to address. Voucher Costumes… Yes, Applibot does need to do something about these Voucher Costumes as we are quickly coming upon the last month these are relevant anymore (this month Vincent drops, so we will get one more new costume in the shop) I know people are wanting these Summer Outfits and older outfits to be inserted into the Exchange Shop but that’s COPIUM, I’m sorry… As someone who used to say this and ultimately wishes they would, I’m off the cope drug guys. First of all, there is a notice that mentions Banner costumes won’t enter the exchange shop, I missed this myself but it’s there… Go to “Notices” and click the “>>” and you’ll see a notice about Gear Vouchers. It’s been there since day 1. Secondly, if you really think about it, adding old costumes to the Exchange shop doesn’t exactly solve the issue having more Voucher tickets than Costumes for whales- as they are expected to have 90%-100% of the costumes. While F2P and the average players make up the majority of our community the whales keep the game going financially so they have to be catered to as well, if not more so.
Whew!! Great post! I'll try to hit each topic. I love that you guys love my bold, confident stating of facts here lolol, but what I was thinking of is when they give us banners that have no featured weapons, only wishlist weapons. I think there have been 2 or 3 of these so far and I believe the wishlist rates on those banners are 1%. Correct me if I am wrong. But that was what I was comparing it too because it's similar in my mind. Thanks for clearing that up. I thought it would work the way you said, but sometimes I feel like there isn't enough clarity in the "notices" so I always hedge my bets in vids like this. Totally agree with the next two paragraphs. I think Cloud's original water kit is still relevant and viable. As for the last thing you mentioned about the game notice info saying they will never put these into gear exchange, this was a great catch and super appreciate you sharing this info with me and everyone else. Although I have to say that I hope they change this because I think whales keep the game afloat but f2p is the heart and soul!
@@Nitelight9 Quick thing... So I think the banner you're referencing is the "end of year" or "end of month" banners. We've had 2 or 3 as you mentioned. Those banners it's impossible to get any weapon that isn't on your wishlist whenever it's a 5-star. To be clear, the drop rate of obtaining a 5-star is still the same (7.5% iirc) but if you get get a 5-star it's *guaranteed* to be one of your 5 wishlisted items which means the the rate of obtaining your desired wishlisted item is more like 20% per item (since you can wishlist 5 items) So it's different there as opposed to the 0.8% or 1% when competing against the whole weapon pool (it's a 0.053% chance for non wishlist items ordinarily, but this is non existent in the banners I think you're referring too) hope that helps!
goes to show, that some of these older costumes should just be put into the gear voucher shop. Like cloud's lightning got power creeped by Zacks new MH costume, but it'd be nice to just have it with OB10 murasame for those who started after the fact.
really happy they are doing reruns of those costumes... gives me hope we will get reruns of past things. On the other side... a banner with no new weapon and pretty much outdated costumes (aerith costume and cloud costume are good imo) is not really tempting with vincent and anniversary around the corner. so this is basically just cosmetics for hard gems.... Its also kinda confusing they show off a new summer costume for tifa in the cutscene and then rerun her healing costume. Maybe you have played Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia. In case you didnt: In that game weapons/character kits were updated from time to time, to keep up with the powercreep of the new releases. IF we would get something like this i can totally understand why you would want a outdated costume/weapon. Well if they dont update old costumes i believe it would be much better to let us get those costumes in another way wich wont hurt our gems. As a F2P you obviously would never get a maritime cloud when there is water Glenn and water Tifa out there, both of them overpowering cloud in this perticular gear.
I totally see what you mean with all of this. Feels kind of odd to see these reappear when they are not very strong and right before Vincent etc. Like... why? Someone else commented that it would be perfect to let us spend gear vouchers on these types of costumes and I think that would be much better than having to pull for them, esp seeing as they haven't added like any new gears to get except for the new characters that have been released.
@@Nitelight9 yea gear voucher is a option for everyone who spends in the game... would need to make gear vouchers available maybe 1 per month (or every other month) if you can beat some decently hard event boss maybe (not crash level difficult)
yea i think as per gacha tradition, all the holiday stuff (summer, holloween, christmas, valentine etc) should always rerun during each subsequent year, so im not surprised. also really happy cuz if people missed out last time and wanna pull for cosmetics, they can go ahead. and those who wanna save for vincent and anni can happily save, win win. i know i went straight for summer aerith last time cuz reasons 😏
I just didn't realize last time that we'd have to wait 10 months to see them again lol... but yeah, I look at it as a total win IF these types of banners aren't meant to be in place of anything new :)
I really thought they were gonna bring them back in the gear exchange... I just don't think these are worth the blue crystals right now. I really want the cloud outfit but we have waaay too many things on the horizon.
i dont like re releasing costumes in banner draws, i don't have any but they are powercrept. I want them in Exchange shop, we getting Gear tickets in season Pass monthly but no new costumes added there yet. Hopefully we get some at Anniversary
Happy 4th! I actually think this is a bad direction - most of the older Gears aren't up to the same level as the newer ones, and what's more we have the whole Gear Voucher issue where there are only 12 Gears to get via that shop. next month'll be the 11th Season Pass, and including the first free one we got, that'll make exactly 12 vouchers. I really think that all gear(except limited ones, like cross over) should go into the voucher shop after a cooldown period (half a year to a year). having this new 4 page banner feels like a cheap cash grab.
@@DocZiggy yeah, someone else said this too and I have to agree 100% ! With the low power, it makes perfect sense to add them to vouchers. Wish I woulda thought about this before I made the vid lol, but great point!!
1% is indeed more than 0.8%. Bro dropping truth bombs 😁 Jokes aside, I mostly agree with you here. The only spot where I disagree is regarding which outfit is the most worth it. As someone who has Cloud’s Monster Hunter outfit, I personally wouldn’t be able to justify going for a Mastery outfit for him anymore, unless it gets paired with a magic weapon. Again, that’s just based on what I already have for him though. Red’s outfit definitely isn’t worth at the moment (they’ve yet to really make him a better physical damage dealer). I feel about the same as you regarding Tifa’s. The part where I slightly disagree (though am still torn tbh) is with Aerith’s costume. This costume plus a maxed out Sun Unbrella completes her MATK stat, allowing her to go all in on elemental potency with her sub weapons. Her second weapon could be either her Prism Rod or Egg Staff, allowing her to do quite well with those elements if a player doesn’t have those respective arcanums. However, other than those three outfits, most of what she has gotten has put her more in a support role. So, hard to say. I think this is still a good general costume for her if she’s hopping in as a damage dealer, but I say that as somebody who loves having generic costumes that allow me to make my characters flexible, even if they aren’t optimal.
@@jace743 good point on aerith, although I still say it's shit 😂 there's another truth bomb for you ;) Jokes aside, I see what you're saying. I just can't get behind building her as a DPS. Not that it isn't feasible though. And for Cloud, I didn't go for his MH gear and maybe should have :/
@@Nitelight9 “there’s another truth bomb for you” 😂😂😂😂😂 That’s fair. It definitely isn’t optimal at this point. I’m sure someone else will get a better generic magic costume soon anyway. Or, maybe they’ll do what they did with Sephiroth and give her a second, better generic magic costume even though she already has this one lol I’m kinda hoping they give Tifa a strong generic magic costume though. If they do, I will pull it and wishlist all of her magic weapons until they’re OB6+ and just be covered for a long, long time
@@Nitelight9 lmaoooo yeah that’s fair. Maybe they will do what they did with Sephiroth and give her a better generic magic outfit even though she already has one lol That being said, I think people really underestimate what she can do as a DPS because her support is so good. But, a lot of people probably don’t have what they need to build her as a DPS anyway, so… *shrug*
@@C_Doc80 I believe it’s 30%. All damage buffs applied to our characters are 10% per tier. Debuffs, however, are stronger. There’s a damage calculator spreadsheet floating around in one of the EC Discords, which is my source for this information. So, it could be wrong, but that’s what I’m operating under.
If on the one hand it is obviously a good thing to see old costumes becoming available again, on the other I feel that the factor that they will in most cases be outdated compared to current gear is always going to be an issue. Unless they don’t take this long to show up again. For example: if they make Murasame garb available again, I don’t think it would be that useful for most players now that those who missed that banner had the chance to go for Zack’s MH costume. When it comes to summer costumes, I’m in the same boat as Nitelight9. My account seriously lacks ANY water costume (you at least got the Bunny costume). But still, I think I’ll skip this and wait for newer Arcanum ones. I’m sure there will be something water related in the Anniversary banners and who knows, maybe Vincent gets a water arcanum.
If they would have put the costumes on slots 6 and 12 for every page and the 5 stars on page 1, I might have gone for it, since I have none of the costumes. But as it is, its kinda pricey, specially since people like me, who missed on this but have playing since month two or three have better alternatives. For Cloud, any one of the crossover costumes+ maritime will do similar or better damage for water, if built right. Tifa with her buff / debuff costume and a couple of subs with +heal and +buff/debuff will do better than the lifeguard too. Red's and Aerith's are like nothing so I just don't see the point
Even if they bumped it down to 8 or something id consider, these costumes are very power-crept. LIke I Even have REd 13's melee collar to OB 6, Id rather just use the frost fangs for the HP, and ignore the tiny 10 points in attack, no way would I spend even free gems for that tiny a boost. (Doubly so since that weapon is now power crept by Tifa's guide gloves, or Even wishilstable ceremonial sword and it was ALWAYS powercrept in terms of R abilities)
Don't see the point of this banner as anything other that bait unless somebody is a Steam/SEA whale that missed it. It'd be nice to pick up the costumes for Red and Aertih, but at 3k/draw it's just not work it. I'd consider it at 300/draw, but not like this.
This is BS. The old costumes shouldn't be on the 12th spot it should be on spot 6 at best OR release them in the gear voucher section because i have 11 vouchers but only 9 available costumes to purchase. The costumes are really not that good and i dont think anyone should pull for them. If nobody pulls form them they'll have to change tactics and make them cheaper or just make them available with gear vouchers especially since they were never advertised as limited. Everyone lets unite and make them change because this is unacceptable on the 12th spot.
IT says on the Gear vouchers more information "No gacha costumes will ever be added" Now I think it would be cool to release old costumes for 2 gear vouchers since the 1 voucher costumes are outdated, but they straight up wont and they'd probably have to refund every gear voucher spent if they changed that. (I would like that too TBH they just wont.
As a light spender, I think a few of the costumes available for trade do come in handy in specific situations. Recently I’ve got the Matt one, which made the difference for me to beat the Chapter 7 boss (before they made it easier in the recent update). I’ve found them useful in situations where higher PDEF and MDEF are key to clearing a specific battle. Also, when new characters become available, the vouchers are useful so you get an extra costume right out of the gate, so I know I will be able to get one for Vincent the day he drops.
HOOLLLDD!!!
Until their added to gear shop.
Yeah I think most of these costumes are mainly for people who want the cosmetic because they're obviously a bit dated now in terms of what they do. In my opinion, if someone is considering Cloud's Costume they should just get the current Sephiroth weapon / costume instead (unless they have it already). I almost feel Sephi's weapon at OB1 is just as good (if not better) than an OB6 Maritime, sure the damage is weaker but you get water res down up to high right off the bat and his costume is an Arcanum instead of a Mastery. I think they should have just sent these old costumes to gear exchange and made gear vouchers / season pass more valuable.
@@CaponeToneTony great point! And I guess there's people who will spend for these cosmetics. Idk. It feels a bit awkwardly situated to me.

But still, I think I’ll skip this and wait for newer Arcanum ones. I’m sure there will be something water related in the Anniversary banners and who knows, maybe Vincent gets a water arcanum.
Solid plan to wait. I think you are absolutely correct in believing there will be another water right around the corner.
If they would have put the costumes on slots 6 and 12 for every page and the 5 stars on page 1, I might have gone for it, since I have none of the costumes. But as it is, its kinda pricey, specially since people like me, who missed on this but have playing since month two or three have better alternatives. For Cloud, any one of the crossover costumes+ maritime will do similar or better damage for water, if built right. Tifa with her buff / debuff costume and a couple of subs with +heal and +buff/debuff will do better than the lifeguard too. Red's and Aerith's are like nothing so I just don't see the point
Yeah, they could have made this more enticing, I completely agree.
Appilbot should had made the outfits on the 6 slot instead of the 12 since these outfits are dated
Even if they bumped it down to 8 or something id consider, these costumes are very power-crept. LIke I Even have REd 13's melee collar to OB 6, Id rather just use the frost fangs for the HP, and ignore the tiny 10 points in attack, no way would I spend even free gems for that tiny a boost.
(Doubly so since that weapon is now power crept by Tifa's guide gloves, or Even wishilstable ceremonial sword and it was ALWAYS powercrept in terms of R abilities)
Don't see the point of this banner as anything other that bait unless somebody is a Steam/SEA whale that missed it. It'd be nice to pick up the costumes for Red and Aertih, but at 3k/draw it's just not work it. I'd consider it at 300/draw, but not like this.
Should have gone to the gear voucher spot. Cmon square.
Happy freedom day to you from the UK
❤ Thanks, man!
yeah i’m not pulling for these even though I want them. because of the way the stamp card is put together. it’s a complete waste of crystals
This is BS. The old costumes shouldn't be on the 12th spot it should be on spot 6 at best OR release them in the gear voucher section because i have 11 vouchers but only 9 available costumes to purchase. The costumes are really not that good and i dont think anyone should pull for them. If nobody pulls form them they'll have to change tactics and make them cheaper or just make them available with gear vouchers especially since they were never advertised as limited. Everyone lets unite and make them change because this is unacceptable on the 12th spot.
IT says on the Gear vouchers more information "No gacha costumes will ever be added" Now I think it would be cool to release old costumes for 2 gear vouchers since the 1 voucher costumes are outdated, but they straight up wont and they'd probably have to refund every gear voucher spent if they changed that. (I would like that too TBH they just wont.
As a light spender, I think a few of the costumes available for trade do come in handy in specific situations. Recently I’ve got the Matt one, which made the difference for me to beat the Chapter 7 boss (before they made it easier in the recent update). I’ve found them useful in situations where higher PDEF and MDEF are key to clearing a specific battle.
Also, when new characters become available, the vouchers are useful so you get an extra costume right out of the gate, so I know I will be able to get one for Vincent the day he drops.
@@BaneDane_JBOh I actually didn't know about this, thanks for the info!
We got a video! Was starting to think you are losing interest in the game lol. Happy 4th 🎆
Happy 4th!! Not losing interest, just started a new job and it's pretty demanding, so like 1/10th the free time I had for the past year.
Wow old useless costumes at the price of new ones what a wonderful idea applybot 👏
😅
Won't matter to me at all. Just like last time, I went broke right before the event lol
