[Relic discussion] The Malice Within: embrace the stillness of a turtle! FF5

Guide/Analysis

Do not chase dreams, seek the Void!

So we're revisiting FF5 in a new event, and turtling up with the formidable sorcerer Exdeath. In addition, the man who most annoys him, Galuf, is our newest addition to the ranks of the double-broken.

But you're hoping to see what Dr. Mog pulled from the Rift for us...

New toys for powerful characters, and rocking a smooth blend of physical and magic - and notably, a White Mage stick on each. But I'm sure y'all have already noticed something... missing from the list.
Should I pull: If you want FF5 RS or want to bolster some of the game's strongest characters, yes. As we have no guarantee of another FF5 event in the next several months (just the Logres collab that we aren't getting,) this is your best definite chance to get stuff for 5. While is this is an expansion of "usual reasons," I think it's safe to put emphasis on it here.
