Merry Xmas folks! (Soon^TM )

Today's post took a little while because a) work, and b) all these new items in the bundles.

Edit: It's just boring old fountain, I can't read apparently. Thanks /u/Oharrell! Also, Winter Ticket is a random pull from the CG Squad banner. Goooo Jake!

Holiday Fountain of Lapis is essentially what everyone's been asking for. 9,175 Lapis (175 300*30) for a whopping 1.3k Lapis/$! I hate to be that guy, but if you do spend money on this game, you might want to consider buying it.

Now for the nitty gritty. First things first: Nowadays with the step-up paradigm - keep in mind that all of these bundles (except Fountain) have pretty bad Lapis rates. So that's that.

10 1 tickets are essentially EX 3* x 10 4*. Ditto for the Guaranteed 5* ticket. Now for the (soooo aptly named) Winter Ticket you can think of it as a UoC CG Banner pull if you really want one of the S2 CG squad, otherwise I think it's just another 5 star EX ticket - CG Jake's in the mix after all, there's a bottom value there.

So the either both bundles have the same value of 168%, or you can bump it up a little to 217% if you want. See reviews for what's good and what's not. It would've made so much more sense if the ticket was another Fan Festa x Xmas UoC Banner pull... but it's not. YMMV.

The Materia "Unforgiving Blade" in the Merry Holiday Bundle is essentially the same as Greatsword Mastery. The Winter Scarf accessory in the Gleeful Holiday Bundle adds 15% for sword and 15% for GS (get 30% if you DW I guess). I believe bundle values increase by about ~20% if you count them as 100% TMR.

Comments on these choices in regards to the item/materia valuation choices? Let me know, I forget if I decided to just exclude all of them or not last time, it's been a while.

Edit: Can't read, Fountain boring. Also the Winter ticket is a random pull.
