If there was some sort of lore-related rhyme or reason to how they drop, there would be some kind of identifiable pattern, and there just isn't one. It's totally random.
    Wasn't referring to FATE types or different FATES of the same type. Was referring to SE past practice in the series and even Zodiac Lore.

    Folks comparing same Atma type drops - Time of Drop, weather, etc. I've seen little to none of that in this thread. Maybe I'm asking for too much.

    You're asking for something as pointless as people comparing HQ results when facing west on Firesday during a full moon in FFXI.

    Human brains are not well-equipped to handle extremely low chances of success at a repeated action; as habitual foragers we are encoded with a drive to look for markers of success and follow them. However, you do not have to fall into this trap; The most likely and best explanation is that it's nothing but random number generation.

    So out of an entire series you bring up one of the worst examples in the series?

    Atma droprate % involving puzzles of the Zodiacs is far better than a straight grind low % RNG.

    Oh look progression, 12 puzzles, 12 steps. Sad thing is, if there is no random generator in the puzzle ppl would just look at a guide and get it done in 20mins.
