She finally dropped mine.

good luck to anyone else. Really hope the next NPC isn't Random.

Random rule has been part of FF since they introduced the game I think back in FF8. I don't have a problem with it being present in this version too and I would like them to keep the rule present to keep the games similar to the FF8 version. As I said I win quite few times, enough to have accumulated over 330 wins against her now (still no lightning card drop) though I probably lost like between 150-180 times, drawn maybe around 300ish too. Some matches I can't win because it does not give me a 4 or 5 star card in the random deck but I prefer the rule remains part of triple triad like it was in FF8.

the rule would only be ok if npc decks would be affected by it. againist other players its ok. but againist npcs that have powerful decks its not. its just adding endless frustration levels for no reason.

Exactly this. They took it off of Swift, but added it onto this NPC and for what reason? It was a very hypocritical move and they should either 1) force NPC's to use the Random rule just like us or 2) not put it on any NPC. period.

236k used on packs and no gold rares stil. fml

0/195 now. Either RNG hates me (most likely the case) or a ton of people are lying (not likely at all).

Looks like I'll prolly get Vaan and maybe even the title at this rate. I haven't done anything except her and my daily scratch ticket since tuesday

[Reyll]

I'm 319 wins with god knows how many losses and draws. Got the Vaan card out of it, so at least some good came out of this terrible NPC.

this npc clearly shows off why RNG is plain wrong and a bad game mechanic in generel. especially if its rng LAYERS on top of each other. thats just overkill deluxe. since tt is supposed to be FUN. how anyone can say having to win 500 matche and lose and draw about the same amount to get A SINGLE DROP out of it is OK is beyond me. the devs really need to get this finally.

if this rng crap continues on 3.0 i am done with this game i think. since over the top rng is not my taste of FUN. (does not soley apply to tt )

It has few benefits due to RNG, firstly it benefits SE because takes players often longer to get what they want which might overlap into another months subscription fee, secondly being also a roulette NPC means grinding gets you the Vaan card and thirdly you gain a lot of MGP the longer you grind it because have not yet had the card drop.

Don't get me wrong, I hate that I have so far won over 400 matches against her with no Lightning card but it did contribute to me getting Vaan and also Zidane using MGP gained from the grind. Now I just need WoL from the card packs and will no longer have to piss away all my MGP on the packs of which has so far cost me over 300k MGP plus stopped me from saving up to buy the turtle mount.

But even the RNG in card packs has benefits to SE plus forces people to take part in events, TT, lotto's or chocobo racing to gain more MGP for them. RNG in the long run isn't going to vanish from this game, sometimes they will increase the percent chance or lower the amount of RNG needed but it RNG will remain in the game.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but [SPOILERS] there will be more rng crap in 3.0 and for a long time after.
