[Relic discussion] Tempered Resolve: the dancer has no bunny ears. FF12

Guide/Analysis

Completely random

So clearly I'm out of my league when it comes to talking about FF12. But no matter. What you need to know is that Penelo becomes playable and Fran joins the ranks of the double-broken. Also something about a guy named Vossler. But mainly about relics.

Banner 1: "FF12 has a katana!"

A mixed bag for FF12 characters, who actually tend to be pretty good.
Should I pull: FF12 is notorious for its variety of subrelic gear, particularly with regard to weapons; so unless you're always selling your subrelics, you shouldn't need to RS-pull whether you prefer physical or magic. So... usual reasons.

Judge Ghis's verdict is that you should read:
