[Relic discussion] A Summoner Reborn: seems a rat has entered the fray! FF9
So I'm excited for our latest trip to Terra and Gaia, as we're going to introduce the super-cool Burmecian Dragoon Freya to the game. Other stuff happens, but Freya is awesome, so yeah. Also, yes, three days before event; credit to u/OriginalMerit for the earlier peek...
...at the shiny new toys.

Banner 2: "Summon City"

Common items are Power Sash (nifty light armour with a Protega shared SB) and Black Hood (a non-SB hat with fire resist.)
So Quina gets left out of this mix, as it was too busy catching frogs. But a quartet of shiny new SSBs.
Should I pull: With Triple Super and Tactics imminent, it's actually hard to recommend heavy pulling here outside of needing RS or really wanting to go for something.
Requested quick guide to non-numbered subjective ratings:
GOD MODE ACTIVATE: Game-breakingly good.
Rather good!: Strong items for strong characters. Puns ending in ! are of this sort.
Pretty nice: Good, but not quite line-one items for the banner. Puns ending in :) are of this sort.
Anything else: Not so hot. Pay attention to the tone.
