I’ve stopped doing roll videos for the most part, but the video was so short and easy to make I said, “why not?”

I haven’t rolled much of anything recently (by my standards, at least) so it didn’t take much convincing to roll this Director’s Carnival which featured more relevant cards for me than probably all the collab and special REMs for the rest of the year combined. What I really wanted was a Sheen for inheritance, but picking up all the missing Legendary Heroes (why is this series called this again?) along the way was a nice bonus. I won’t downplay my luck, especially since I didn’t get plagued by dupes, but it does seem like the gala exclusives are relatively easy to pick up here, especially when compared to the dismal rates they have in a normal gala.
I wouldn’t recommend rolling here, but for players like me where these are basically the only cards we don’t have, this is actually a surprisingly good opportunity. 13.51% is probably a misrepresentation of the actual chances to snag a 6-star, but from what I witnessed of other people rolling, the rates seem to be higher than one might usually expect, especially when compared to the usual rates for a 6-star GFE. I always wondered how JP players picked these cards up so easily, especially in dupes; now I have my answer.
So many Fruit Dragons.
June Bride Rolls 2016.06.27
I don’t think I’ve rolled this much — either in a single session or overall — since the Summer REM in my misbegotten journey to acquire Pandora. The circumstances are a lot different than back then, though. Since then, I’ve gotten every single roll I’ve wanted, most of the time within two or three packs. It’s the gambler’s fallacy to believe that my luck would run out since I was lucky in the past, but I had mentally prepared myself for not getting every roll I wanted months ago. I had come to terms with the fact that even though I spend exorbitant amounts of money on this game, that it’s still beyond my means to acquire every card, especially when you consider the horrible rates. While I’m jealous of those that rolled Eschamali, I’m content with trying my luck again next year. I’m more than happy with what I have so far; besides, now it’s time to start saving for that dreaded Summer REM.
I usually post a roll video, but I considered not doing it this time since it’s a pain in the ass to compress and upload it, especially since it’s a bit longer this time (which is never a good indicator for roll videos). At the same time I don’t want people to think that I only upload videos of my good results, so I’ll eventually get around to posting it on YouTube, hopefully within the next couple of days (although, to be honest, it’s not like I had bad luck this time, either).
PAD Academy Rolls 2016.06.13
Sweet Jesus, that silver rate. I guess that’s what happens when there are so few golds in the machine (compare this to FF which had a relatively generous gold rate because there were so many in the machine). If I didn’t roll GKali, I would’ve had 100% silvers over two packs (Theuriga counts as a silver imo).
I (of course) rolled another pack after this and got my Sasuke. I’m sad I only got one, but there’s no way I’m rolling more. Maybe next year…
Final Fantasy Collab Rolls 2016.05.16
52 rolls until my first Lightning. I rolled after recording and got my second on #60. As ridiculous as that may sound to some, I’ll take that every single time.
DC Collab Rolls 2016.04.18
I’m quite happy with my Bleach and DC rolls. Next up: FF, School and–ugh–Summer.
Godfest Rolls 2016.02.13 – Three Kingdoms & Egypt 2
It never ends.
Cao Cao never.
New Year’s Rolls 2016.02.08 – 1 Pack
If you’ve ever played LLSIF — or any IAP-cancer mobile game, really — you know those times where you see a post where someone rolls like three or four URs in a single 10+1 pull and goes on to say “I didn’t get my favorite girl”. Well, this is kinda like that. I’m sorry Leilan.
Godfest Rolls 2016.01.31 – Constellations & Norse – Rolling for Despair
Welp.
Christmas Rolls 2015.12.14 – 20 Rolls
Things went better than expected, but most people should avoid this REM.
Edit: At first I realized I had just sold all my Liu Bei skill up fodder and was sad. Then I realized Christmas Liu Bei has his own fodder and was relieved. Then I realized I have to farm the Christmas dungeon and got even sadder than the first time.
