Well if you're going in blind, you're in for some really fun surprises as you get a little further in.I started playing this recently, not deep in but it's good so far.
As far as the event, I got pretty lucky and got all three characters without paid pulls (one given free two with lucky draws from the scrolls given in the event). I should emphasize though, you're more or less free to form parties with the characters you like
Well I'm not even close really to completing any relics so that would certainly be nice.They have supposedly changed this, from a month long event to a permanent game addition.
Square Enix posted the event details like two weeks late, so if this is the case, it's probably so that everyone has a fair chance to do all of it. Anyone who is just starting now will be hard pressed to complete everything before the end date.
See the thing is the history of Final Fantasy and Wizardry is very closely intertwined, and with FFXI in particular, the game applies a lot of the same tropes that FF does. After getting into it more and more, this collab honestly makes total sense.
One thing for everyone to be aware of: Characters have a chance to turn to ash if you attempt to resurrect them while their Fortitude is 50 or lower. Attempting to resurrect them under the same conditions again after they have turned to ash can result in them dying permanently (which is a thing in the series, not just this game). Using free gems will prevent this and guarantee resurrection, but it's something to be aware of.
I'll try to answer quesitons if anyone has any. Today they added a nice supply of relic weapon currency/materials to the gil exchange shop, probably in an effort to help players who started following SE's announcement.
