[Relic discussion] A Meeting Beyond Time: bringing a real gun to a gunfight! FF8
So we're going back to the world of FF8, and delving into its past in this new event, which will add Laguna to the roster. Now it's a party!
And what's a party without relics?

The common items are Esthar Bracer (bangle with shared medica) and Galbadian Elite Armour (non-SB heavy armour with slow resist.)
The main draw of this event's pull-set is in its SSBs, which have some potent effects.
Should I pull: If you need trinity, either of these banners has something for you in SSB form. Otherwise, be aware that the items aren't general purpose for the most part; guns, fists, mage-throwers, Zell items, Seifer items. So use your discretion.
