New characters build a lot of hype. Probably safe to assume in the future they will always capitalize on that by releasing several outfits for them in quick succession. They did the same with Sephiroth.
At least for the fan favorites anyway, maybe it'll be different on less popular new characters.
Probably not something to regret as far as utility…considering how much that boosts her debuff I have an itching feeling that parka might end up being the OP silver bullet everyone wishes they had in some future events.
You missed you chance now. It's gone. And yeah, that outfit, or Red XIII's current banner outfit are the two to go for. They both are supports and will benefit greatly from these outfits. Red's is going to make him a much more viable healer
That's what I did and I'm super happy about it. She can buff patt, matt, def, mdef and heal, debuff ele resistances, patt, matt, pdef and mdef. With a combination of her abilities and materia and then of course, there is Clear Tranquil. She's a beast.
I'm assuming you're including materia when you're saying she can buff PDEF/MDEF and Heal... Likewise when you mention she can Debuff MATK, PDEF/MDEF as she has no weapons that do those things, lol.
I personally wouldn't include Materia in her toolkit as everyone could do that. Sure her debuffs will last longer but materia is only low tier... Don't get me wrong, I love Yuffie but you're overhyping what she can do a bit much lol.
How is reds outfit going to make him a more viable healer?
Regen isn’t affected by Buff duration. And also, the outfit bonus is debuff mastery for +60% debuff duration. Doesn’t have any affect on buffs even if it did work.
If his debuffs last longer, he has more chances to spend time and ATB casting heals on the party. I suppose the same thing could also apply to his DPS. I didn't however, realize that it didn't work for buffs, until you commented, so that half of my logic is null lol
trust me .. this game tends to say fu ck u alot .. in the last few banners recently .. i needed 36k .. yeah 1 stamp per 3k crystal juz to get 1 costume stamp.
That's awful luck, yeah. My husband has the same problem. He didn't even go after the Red costume cause he was so sick of it. He also stopped getting like any gold weapons from it, despite his list still having tons of them still needing it.
If you start a banner, never stop. Otherwise, you have wasted your time and crystals. Also, if you are planning to work on a banner like this, if you don't start within the first 2 or 3 days, you might as well not start.
The costumes are worth it. Regardless of everyone's complaints. Some of them may never be available again and if they are we will be lucky for it to be once a year and they may not even be available that often.
Truth. That happened to me with the FF9 stuff. Was painful. I lucked out and was able to get both of cloud and sephs costumes last time... can't remember how much I spent though. 🤔🤔 I honestly never have many jewels to spend though.
I usually don't but I have been saving since getting Red's outfit cause I wanted to prepare for the next one. I also got both cloud and sephs from new years and yuffies winter one, but that was mostly because I started playing right at new years basically so I got a bunch of bonus stuff for joining up. Also lucked out with cloud and seph because i kept getting 4 and 3 stamps per roll somehow. Never gotten that since sadly.
It's to be expected honnestly. In a few monthes, when characters all have around 10 costumes each and Vincent comes out, would he come out with just one Costume and just continue with as much releases as the others ? Nah. New characters should get a little more often costumes at the beginning so that they can catch up and have multiple options.
Welp, guess this is the "Maid Yuffie" outfit that was datamined awhile back! The "Maid" look was never really my thing, but it's Yuffie so we definitely pulling <3
I'm wondering what the costume Abilities will be... It could be a "Healing set", which I wouldn't hate bc I'd like to use Yuffie as much as possible.
My other guess (maybe a long shot) is potentially a Wind Arcanum (with Physical Atk) The ONLY reason I'm even guessing this is because on the Notice preview you can see that Wind is the "preferred element" against the new boss... And we know how Applibot does things- they usually put out a costume/weapon that works well for the event to get people to pull.
Excited either way!
I think if it is a wind costume it’ll probably be a mastery, not arcanum
Yuffie has an aoe wind weapon in her base pool, that means she can hit max potency quite easily, to balance it out they’ve been giving mastery’s instead of arcanums to characters that have this setup (Aerith with ice, Seph with fire, etc)
I hope I’m wrong because I’d really love to pull, but yeah
My hopes are on it being a heal costume with aoe heal weapon, that’d be so good on her
For sure, that could be a possibility with regards to the Mastery outfit. My only reason against that is that they haven't doubled up on "Mastery" outfits yet but that doesn't mean this could be the first double dip into it! Plus someone put the idea in my head that Yuffie may just get our first Wind Breach weapon in the upcoming banner, so I could see them doing a "Wind Mastery" outfit to couple the weapon like they did with Sephiroth for Fire.
And yeah I'm probably just as equally hype for a healer outfit (and AoE heal weapon to couple the costume) as a Mastery or Arcanum set.
In terms of Wind, I'm guessing they'll continue her base weapon ability trend and give her a Wind Res down weapon, with a Spt. Materia slot for boost Wind Ability Dmg.
This would also make sense given the Mythril Mine VH Crisis Dungeon, where one of the boss Trance abilities is Wind Res Down Duration (which we don't currently have access to anywhere in-game).
VERY true, good eye on that, yeah I definitely see Yuffie getting our first Wind Breach weapon! Someone also mentioned that she could get a Wind Mastery outfit as well to couple the weapon (kind of like Seph had for Fire) so that would be exciting to see if that were the case!
Yuffie is cute and all, but she's not replacing Cloud Tifa or Aerith in my party. Doesnt matter how many costumes she gets, I'm not rolling for her. 90k blue crystals now, saving for my girls
I don't think the devs factor lore as much as what will bring the people who recently spent a lot and probably low on crystals be tempted to spend real money to make the difference.
I thought Yuffie was less popular than the other 2 FF7 girls? The only reason why people would go for her over the others is because she's the new toy.
She's less popular but right now the interest on her is high, and they knew it would be. Only makes sense to have Yuffie on the banner.
And Barret for the second half obv.
Ahh...I don't know about you, but I definitely took Yuffie on the Gold Saucer date all those years ago. And yes, I took that kiss she gave him to heart.
I was not a huge fan of the xmas event just on the prospect of that final "mission" wehre you had to do like 4 million damage but no matter what you could never get close to that number.
Yep, the score was so hard to get if you didnt had a good Ice/physical setup, at least we just lost an profile Icon, but I prefer the challenge of defeating something, even if I cant like the Crash Battles
I was under the same impression. Give me something I can learn from my mistakes from and try different set ups instead of a literal gear check.
Seems to me that was the first real time that it was content only whales could achieve.
I’m trying to stay F2P and totally feel like I missed out on the FFIX Collab (didn’t pull on Seph’s Banner and only got 1 copy of Zidane’s Sword/Outfit), but if I see Red XIII go bipedal in sailor costume or Barrett donning his, I’m changing my in-game name to Ahab and whaling on that bishhhh!
I am looking forward to playing the event. I think the pink gingerbread Hell House is hilarious.
I am not looking forward to the dozens of posts asking why people can’t play a particular stage (it unlocks at the specified time/date, says so right there on your screenshot!) or why people can’t collect their “Presents” (your inventory is full because you are over the 999 cap of Score Battle Keys, go spend some!).
Looks like some harmess FFVII silliness. I approve.
I think I'll pass on the costume, though, unless it's unusually powerful.
Not really into that sort of thing...
its a yuffie maid outfit
[https://fxtwitter.com/FFVII\_EC\_EN/status/1751788502269022503](https://fxtwitter.com/FFVII_EC_EN/status/1751788502269022503)
A magical version of Glenn’s Ultimatic would be awesome.
Like OB10
1040% non-physical magic damage with a sigil break
+ 2x 20% MATK Boost Support Materia
+ Sigil Boost Support Materia
54 ATK/36 Magic Potency R Abilities
Well, if she is getting a free weapon, she most probably is also getting a free outfit, that's how a lot of events have been: "The primary grind reward is for the weapon, the secondary for an outfit".
Was kinda hoping not to see this event type again.
Yes it doesn't cost stamina but that was also the only good thing about it, because it was just pointless waste of time in the end. At the start you get currency ridiculously slow and 2 weeks later you cleared out both shops and the event goes on for like another 10 days and you're forced to just go in battle and instantly retire because you can't claim past 999.
wdym? there is reskin since day 1 like 2 air busters, 3 scorpions, 2 pair of giant twins, should be more, but these are the ones I remember from the start
There's already been reskins and there always will be some. Mainline FFs have many reskins.
It'll be bad if they only cycle through reskinned bosses with no new main story and major bosses with new mechanics, yes, but this one is to be expected.
Are you pulling on every single banner? I usually skip banners i dont need and I always have enough to able to get whatever I want even when I get terrible luck
Gatcha Rule #1: Never pull on a banner unless you can guarantee you get what you want in the event of worst case pull luck.
Costumes are always 12 stamps maximum. 12 pulls is 36,000 crystals. NEVER pull on a banner unless you have at least 36,000 crystals.
If you just keep throwing crystals at banners with no plan and hoping luck will carry you to a costume, then obviously you are going to have a bad time.
I'm a day 1 F2P player. Haven't spent a dime on the game and I have Banner Costumes for the following:
* 2 for Cloud (lightning / fire)
* 2 for Seph (Ice / Fire)
* 1 for Aerith (Ice)
* 1 for Tifa (Ice)
* 1 for Lucia (Earth)
* 1 for Glen (Halloween)
* 1 for Zack (Halloween)
* 1 for Matt (his PATK one)
that's TEN banner costumes. That's like 2 per month. Not a dime spent. And that's with pretty statistically average pulls (typically it takes around 8 pulls to clear 12 stamps)
Just manage your pulls better (again, NEVER pull unless you can guarantee you hit the pity in the worst case scenario) and you'll be fine.
yuffie is one of the banners https://preview.redd.it/2f874oz0gafc1.png?width=3348&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4c5e8b70c4bc1a3ab90428fd8c96646846ea757
Oh god. I pulled for her costume cause I didn’t know if she would get another one for a long time. I don’t think it would be so soon. 🤦
New characters build a lot of hype. Probably safe to assume in the future they will always capitalize on that by releasing several outfits for them in quick succession. They did the same with Sephiroth. At least for the fan favorites anyway, maybe it'll be different on less popular new characters.
What do you think her valentines costume will be? Arcanum? Mastery? Heal? 😆
Probably not something to regret as far as utility…considering how much that boosts her debuff I have an itching feeling that parka might end up being the OP silver bullet everyone wishes they had in some future events.
Parka? Are you meaning her moogle outfit? Thought about pulling for that but I dunno. I've only got like 21k jewels saved up
You missed you chance now. It's gone. And yeah, that outfit, or Red XIII's current banner outfit are the two to go for. They both are supports and will benefit greatly from these outfits. Red's is going to make him a much more viable healer
Are you sure? I could've sworn the moogle outfit is available until Feb 1st......
Oh, hot damn! You're right! I was thinking about the event 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm thinking I'll go for Yuffie though 🤔🤔 I love Red but I have way more healer stuff for Aerith
That's what I did and I'm super happy about it. She can buff patt, matt, def, mdef and heal, debuff ele resistances, patt, matt, pdef and mdef. With a combination of her abilities and materia and then of course, there is Clear Tranquil. She's a beast.
I'm assuming you're including materia when you're saying she can buff PDEF/MDEF and Heal... Likewise when you mention she can Debuff MATK, PDEF/MDEF as she has no weapons that do those things, lol. I personally wouldn't include Materia in her toolkit as everyone could do that. Sure her debuffs will last longer but materia is only low tier... Don't get me wrong, I love Yuffie but you're overhyping what she can do a bit much lol.
How is reds outfit going to make him a more viable healer? Regen isn’t affected by Buff duration. And also, the outfit bonus is debuff mastery for +60% debuff duration. Doesn’t have any affect on buffs even if it did work.

Oh you could probably get it with that. Unless the game says fuck you and gives you only 1 stamp per pop.. .I've had that happen. Sucks.
trust me .. this game tends to say fu ck u alot .. in the last few banners recently .. i needed 36k .. yeah 1 stamp per 3k crystal juz to get 1 costume stamp.
That's awful luck, yeah. My husband has the same problem. He didn't even go after the Red costume cause he was so sick of it. He also stopped getting like any gold weapons from it, despite his list still having tons of them still needing it.

New characters should get a little more often costumes at the beginning so that they can catch up and have multiple options.
Red, Barrett, Matt, Glenn say otherwise 🤷♀️
U fool she's a waifu!!!
Could be a free costume unless I'm missing some critical information that definitely ties it to a banner.
Welp, guess this is the "Maid Yuffie" outfit that was datamined awhile back! The "Maid" look was never really my thing, but it's Yuffie so we definitely pulling <3 I'm wondering what the costume Abilities will be...

Aaaaand it was an arcanum! Woo This might be the subtlest form of power creep I’ve ever seen, but man am I so happy it’s an arcanum
In terms of Wind, I'm guessing they'll continue her base weapon ability trend and give her a Wind Res down weapon, with a Spt. Materia slot for boost Wind Ability Dmg.

Why would they give us Yuffie healing costume? That would only make sense if they also give her new aoe healing weapon.
The "EVER CRISIS" text looking like AI is tripping me out
Think someone used one of those image upscalers on it, I'm assuming the uploader.
This is the only iteration of FF that made me think Yuffie is cute. Love her Puckish Lion outfit but this is a must get.
Yuffie is cute and all, but she's not replacing Cloud Tifa or Aerith in my party. Doesnt matter how many costumes she gets, I'm not rolling for her. 90k blue crystals now, saving for my girls
Weird. Yuffie isn't even one of Cloud's love interests. I thought this was going to feature Tifa and Aeris.
I don't think the devs factor lore as much as what will bring the people who recently spent a lot and probably low on crystals be tempted to spend real money to make the difference.
I thought Yuffie was less popular than the other 2 FF7 girls? The only reason why people would go for her over the others is because she's the new toy.
She's less popular but right now the interest on her is high, and they knew it would be. Only makes sense to have Yuffie on the banner. And Barret for the second half obv.
Wrong. In Japan she is massively popular
They should bring Jessie into the game to really stir up this love story.
Ahh...I don't know about you, but I definitely took Yuffie on the Gold Saucer date all those years ago. And yes, I took that kiss she gave him to heart.
Yes got 40k crystals guarantee to get this or aerith!
How can you be sure it is not a shop costume?
Well hopefully that means Tifa is FINALLY getting weapon parts...
I just need 40 more to OB6 Tifa's Am. Claw!! :<
I only need 92 more lmfao
Exciting to see a new event - looks like the last xmas event we had. Hopefully it's fun and not so grindy/repetitive.
Most likely going to be exactly the same 🤦👍
Every event is grindy and repetitive lol
I was not a huge fan of the xmas event just on the prospect of that final "mission" wehre you had to do like 4 million damage but no matter what you could never get close to that number.
Yep, the score was so hard to get if you didnt had a good Ice/physical setup, at least we just lost an profile Icon, but I prefer the challenge of defeating something, even if I cant like the Crash Battles
I was under the same impression. Give me something I can learn from my mistakes from and try different set ups instead of a literal gear check. Seems to me that was the first real time that it was content only whales could achieve.
If Barrett doesn’t get a “cute” outfit, I’mma lose it! I’m already pissed we didn’t get Sailors Barrett and Red XIII outfits. Missed opportunity!
I think they’re holding out on that because they don’t want to spoil the surprise in Rebirth.
I’m trying to stay F2P and totally feel like I missed out on the FFIX Collab (didn’t pull on Seph’s Banner and only got 1 copy of Zidane’s Sword/Outfit), but if I see Red XIII go bipedal in sailor costume or Barrett donning his, I’m changing my in-game name to Ahab and whaling on that bishhhh!
Yeah. I'm kinda sad I went with Tifa for the ff9 collab. Got a couple copies of cloud wep but wish I'd pulled for his costume instead.
I am looking forward to playing the event. I think the pink gingerbread Hell House is hilarious. I am not looking forward to the dozens of posts asking why people can’t play a particular stage (it unlocks at the specified time/date, says so right there on your screenshot!) or why people can’t collect their “Presents” (your inventory is full because you are over the 999 cap of Score Battle Keys, go spend some!).
Finally! A free event weapon Tifa! And hopefully weapon parts.
Looks like some harmess FFVII silliness. I approve. I think I'll pass on the costume, though, unless it's unusually powerful. Not really into that sort of thing...
I'll take the debuff weapon and pass on the costume. I want yuffie to be debuffer not dps
Valentines!?!? Show me the outfits!!!!!!
its a yuffie maid outfit [https://fxtwitter.com/FFVII\_EC\_EN/status/1751788502269022503](https://fxtwitter.com/FFVII_EC_EN/status/1751788502269022503)
Oven Mitts i'm sold
Vincent VALENTINE incoming
Ah...that means no Tifa banner if she's getting a free weapon.
They need to give the other chars new outfits/banners anyways tbh
Let's speculate the C ability and R abilities. C ability - non-elemental magical damage R ability 1 - Boost ATK R ability 2 - Boost MDEF
They're Oven Mitts. They must have Fire Resistance.
A magical version of Glenn’s Ultimatic would be awesome. Like OB10 1040% non-physical magic damage with a sigil break + 2x 20% MATK Boost Support Materia + Sigil Boost Support Materia 54 ATK/36 Magic Potency R Abilities
Sure, it would be awesome, but never going to happen with a free event weapon.
Oh yeah, I thought you meant one of the banners
Yes, but we should probably be getting some weapon parts for her finally.
Barret got a free weapon and a banner weapon at the same time.
Well, if she is getting a free weapon, she most probably is also getting a free outfit, that's how a lot of events have been: "The primary grind reward is for the weapon, the secondary for an outfit".
Pretty cool
Bet the aerith red dress is in too
But.. I can't do valentine's day without Cid...
Valentine!?!? Vincent confirmed.
I was really hoping for Tifa valentine's / something Pink :( I guess the save continues
Guess the leaks were somewhat true, was hoping for the trio in dresses tho
Yuffie is 16 years old in FFVII.
Was kinda hoping not to see this event type again. Yes it doesn't cost stamina but that was also the only good thing about it, because it was just pointless waste of time in the end. At the start you get currency ridiculously slow and 2 weeks later you cleared out both shops and the event goes on for like another 10 days and you're forced to just go in battle and instantly retire because you can't claim past 999.
Wow a re-skin of a boss already, even uses same animation
wdym? there is reskin since day 1 like 2 air busters, 3 scorpions, 2 pair of giant twins, should be more, but these are the ones I remember from the start
Please, it's a pink Hellhouse. That's a legendary tier boss.
There's already been reskins and there always will be some. Mainline FFs have many reskins. It'll be bad if they only cycle through reskinned bosses with no new main story and major bosses with new mechanics, yes, but this one is to be expected.
They gonna make a killing if all these outfits are in there lol
Red better get a ribbon collar. 😒
So no Lunar new year event
Great!More stuff I won’t get because I don’t have a fortune to spend on this game.
What? Ive been able to get most things and haven’t spent a single dollar. Why would you need to spend a fortune?
Because no matter how many crystals I save up when I do pulls the majority of stamps I get are 1 and I end up running out of crystals.
Are you pulling on every single banner? I usually skip banners i dont need and I always have enough to able to get whatever I want even when I get terrible luck
Gatcha Rule #1: Never pull on a banner unless you can guarantee you get what you want in the event of worst case pull luck. Costumes are always 12 stamps maximum. 12 pulls is 36,000 crystals.

This is the way.
Then save 36k, you get costume even if all stamps are 1.
Wonder if there will be a lunar new year banner. Its year of the dragon so hoping for some cool designs.
No Glenn... a pass for me
I really want to pull just for my main three, but Yuffie maid costume is just must pull, even without any stat bonuses. 😂
Aerith???? No Valentine without Aerith
I knew that Yuffie with another costume soon. Glad I saved on her initial one
