Illustrated Kairi
(Alternative Title: The Worst Luck in the World)

Great question.
I really wish I could say the Upright deal was better. Honestly, the best medals in the game right now are Ill. Terra, Sora, and Riku. All three of them are available in the Upright deal, and they took out six of your Premium options too, which makes them even easier to get! But… alas…
The Reversed deal is infinitely better. It has six damage-dealing Premiums. But the real strength is in the guaranteed epics. Wherein 17 epic Upright medals are buffs/debuffs, absolutely none of the Reversed ones are. That means, where you’d get a 39.2% chance of getting a damage dealing medal in Upright, you get 100% chance in Reversed.
Then there’s the fact that you’ll get at least three. Which can be great for working up to Tier 3 Guilt. Especially because there are only 19 epics for Reversed.
But wait. That’s not even the best part!
There are only THREE Tier 2 Reversed medals. Yep. Three. That’s it. So your seven other medals will be those three, or epics, or Premiums. You will guilt Hag, Timeless River Pete, and The Queen so damn fast.
Honestly, I feel like they maybe didn’t think this whole Reversed deal through very well. Next to the Upright one, it’s an absolute godsend.
THAT BEING SAID! Should you pull? Yeah, probably. Ill. Kairi won’t come out for at least two weeks for this EMC, plus a week off, plus another. That’s four weeks. At 3k each week for $15 pack + 700 a week for login bonus + 3 more days of daily jewels, you’ll get 12k+2.8k+600=15,400 jewels between now and Ill. Kairi. (Speculated, anyway.) So if you’ve got 14,600 jewels or more and can spare 15 bucks a week, maybe save up. If you’re below that, or significantly above that, then you might as well do this deal. Even two or three pulls in the Reversed deal will give you two T2 guilted medals.
Lastly: this EMC is lasting two weeks. So take your time. You won’t be pulling any of the 14% medals because they are Upright only, so don’t worry about the HSC. Wait until the last day to make your decision if you want to. A Halloween event should come up next week and maybe you’ll have a change of heart. Don’t bother rushing it, this deal is going to be around. ^_^
I hope that helped!

EDIT: Farmable medals don’t have a lot of practical purpose anymore. Even beginning the game now, one or two pulls during an Epic Medal Carnival will easily outrank even guilted farmables. HOWEVER. Farmables can be used for NOVA leveling, which is still very important. There are 90 levels total - 6 levels per farmable.
~~~
There are 15 medals in the game that are farmable: that is, medals that can be obtained from story quests. All of them are Tier 1 guilt (10-25%) but they can be a very helpful boost early in the game or if you’re not getting the draws you want! Here’s a list of what they are, where to get them!
Power:
Wakka - Mission 47 - Target
Goofy Ver. A - Mission 38 - Target
Paine - Mission 81 - Target
Pence - Mission 160 - Target
Young Hercules - Mission 12 - Target
Speed:
Tidus - Mission 47 - Target
KH Sora Ver. A - Mission 85 - Target
Rikku - Mission 24 - Target
Hayner - Mission 47 - Blue Chest
Stitch - Mission 12 - Target
Magic:
Selphie - Mission 38 - Target
Donald Ver. A - Mission 85 - Target
Yuna - Mission 14 - Target
Olette - Mission 14 - Target
Jiminy Cricket - Mission 51 - Target
(All of them can be found in other places! I tried to pick missions with a decent drop rate that drop 2* instead of 1*, since they’ll be easier to level and guilt.)
(Specifically Mission 81 drops four or five different farmables, so it’s a great place to start!)
So what’s worth it?
For Power, Goofy and Young Herc. Goofy costs less than Paine and has higher strength.
For Speed, Stitch’s single target is awesome, and Rikku has best AOE.
For Magic, Yuna is the way to go.
Jiminy is nice, but don’t guilt him.
The Twilight Trio is easily replaced by Diz, Aerith, or Vivi.
You can also farm up the evolve medals in the following missions, though the drop rates can be pretty low sometimes. All of them drop from Pretender chests:
Cheshire Cat: Mission 63
Merlin: Mission 57
Fairy Godmother: Mission 64
Yen Sid: Mission 164
Fantasia Mickey: Mission 270
Happy hunting!
