I have to tell you, just reading this thread, it did sound like people were just being dicks at first, but after having done the fight, I can honestly say that if you have a whm (maybe even a red mage) and a competent pal, this fight is cake.

Like I said before, I've beaten it multiple times for multiple friends on multiple jobs - including my PLD.
Instead of pissing and moaning like a 12 year old girl getting her first period about the fight being too hard, maybe take 5 minutes to sit down and wonder what you could be doing better and go beat the damn thing already.
Actually, it's more shocking that some of you are married, since you have no compassion for your fellow man and just accuse them all of sucking, because they haven't beaten this fight.
This BCNM is BS for a limit break quest, and it's a crap shoot, unless you have 1 of 4 jobs out of the 20 total. Period.
Oh...and I am saying this even after I have beaten it.
Zarchery, my best advice since you have a MNK, is actually to MNK burn it. I know you tried already, but basically we went in 4 x MNK (most of us wearing the pink gear that supposedly is a no-no) with a DNC and a SMN with Alexander. PD + all 4 MNKs 2 houred right at the beginning and spammed multi-hit weapon skills. It literally was dead in 40 seconds, no deaths. The longest part was buffing up with Ifrit, Garuda and Alexander.
That being said, I really hope they tone this BCNM down, it's just a limit break quest.
ithink this fight is alot harder then it needed to be, the problem is you need Certain set up to win.. and thats not fair.. then when everyone has it cleared in a week others left be hind will be screwed because people dont help.
