Hm, the foreteller medals are pretty nice, but i guess I still prefer Ava with her PSM def + 2

Re: 9/7: Union ? JP Update: Aced & Gula HD EX, Valor Genie

Pulled Gula in Aced's draw on my first pull! I've probably used up all my luck for a while, but at least my Speed and Magic decks are looking better. Power, on the other hand...
edit: Name of Gula's special ability appears to be "Panther Crawl" (パンサークロウ).

Invi will probably be a M buff/debuffer to go along with Gula and Aced, and maybe Ira will be a gen atk buff/debuffer, in any case hopefully I'll be able to pull either of those two in the future because a) Invi favoritism and b) my account is still stuck with +3 gen atk buff medals.

Managed to get 0.2 Sora, Xion HD and Ventus-Vanitas, which I was missing.

No Gula or Aced, though... Even though they're EX medals, I wish they were still 5-draw guarantees, being the anniversary and all.

I guess Invi will be Magic, I'm really curious about Ira at this point.

Snagged Gula in the 7th draw, unfortunately didn't get Aced in the process. I might try for him next week but Ira and Invi will take priority.

In retrospect I should have pulled for Aced since Riku EX is like the only thing carrying my outdated Power deck at this point.

30000 jewels left, hopefully I can make it last lol

Am I the only one who get shivers when thinking about how these over-the-top-medals are going to be transported to global? I imagine drop rates like Seph Ex for each one, so I'll probably start to cry beforehand.

I'm already saving for that very reason. I mainly want Sora&Riku EX, Ava, and Invi

Not spending a single Jewel until they get released.

Re: 9/7: Union ? JP Update: Aced & Gula HD EX, Valor Genie

So Global should get these in April, right? I'm assuming they'll be for our 2nd Anniversary too.

Ira is definitely going to be Power. If Luxu is an available medal then he'll be the remaining Speed character.

Wow, that's impressive. I don't have that much mental fortitude - I mean I don't pull on EXes and such flimsy deals, only for mercy or avatar boards, but not buying anything till ... next year? is something I probably can't. In my opinion, one of the most fun aspects of the game is the pulling, the gamble, the thinking "Will I get the medals I want?" and be surprised, for the good or the worse. Plus, if the deals will be having pull rates near Seph EX, all that saving might be for nothing. Might. I'm really curious how Sena will handle this because they can't throw that many nice medals at us without any guarantees or at least fair chances and Sena is slooowly moving in a better direction, so I'll just hope and ... try to save up what I can.

Anyway, am I the only one who thinks those medals are ridiculously overpowered? I know they can't release the foretellers as lackluster medals, but man, the powercreep is strong in this one.

By the way: I am really looking forward to Ira, he is my favorite foreteller. :3

Remaining? Gula is Speed.
And Aced is Power. It stands to reason and I at least hope that each Foreteller has a different "role" in the gameplay. Aced is the power-driven guy, Ira can be much more than just a copy of him.

Ira can be power, but like Ava instead of thesw guys.
Or maybe he's a general medal. Raises PSM att. by 3 and lowers enemies' PSM def. by 3. Who knows.

That's what I thought too, a medal that boosted all attacks instead of just a specific attribute.
And at that point the game will end as soon as we'll get a Foretellers-only Keyblade deck.

Re: 9/7: Union ? JP Update: Aced & Gula HD EX, Valor Genie

these are nice medals for proud mode keyblades but i would go for ava still

Re: 9/7: Union ? JP Update: Aced & Gula HD EX, Valor Genie

Damn, Gula there sounds right up my alley given that my Speed Deck is my main. Aced deals one huge hit though, which would be amazing for HSCs and whatnot. Invi will be the magic version for sure, makes me wonder what they'll do for Ira.

Speaking of HSCs, is it just me or are these medals getting more and more ridiculous in terms of stat boosting? Sure Valor Genie is single target and costs a whopping 7SP...but that can be reduced to 1 with a good AB&SP1 skill, he also recovers 4SP meaning a +3 net gain with said skill, and maxes out your MStr in just one action. Don't even need to guilt him to make Valor Genie useful. Wishing it was a Damage Contest though, HSCs over here are always "If you don't have the 21% medal somehow no cool medal for you!"
