Since no one seems to have posted yet: Final LB fight

Personally, I wish the limit break 99 quest would have involved a battle with an NPC who has more of an established reputation in FFXI. Instead, they have you fight Atori-Tutori, Black Belt Quest NPC & Lv90 to 95 quest. To be honest, would have been neat to beat the living hearts and stars out of a Magian Moogle.

Absolutely stupid idea and proof SE knows nothing about their game.

I can see it now, people will find a easy way to do with with certain jobs, and if you don't have that job and a good LS good luck.

Why do they keep doing stupid things.

That's why there's a test server. If people weren't so quick to skip right to new max level and such and just overall treat everything more like a preview than testing then we might not get so called stupid things more often.

Also, I don't even know why that person(or I guess that person hangs around these parks so I'll just call them Crawler) in the video said "PLD is a must" because it looks like that PLD got bleeping dropped faster than Paper Mike Tyson. So I'm going to presume that NIN(or I guess PLD so long as it doesn't tank HF) + THF is going to be the way to go for PD tanking HF unless that encounter becomes vastly easier in the live version. Or any number of set ups really, like SMN PTs. I can't imagine they would restrict so many jobs on this LB quest though so I expect it to adjust itself somehow. For all we know HF isn't a sure thing and can be avoided entirely.

All I know is if nothing else, congrats RDMs and THFs, your spells and PD is now extremely useful.

I went into this fight solo. Didn't raise my level cap since the test came out, actually because I wanted to test the limit cap fight.

He hits very hard and very fast. Unless you have Ochain you will most likely die from his normal hits, unless you take 3 whms or something. His Asuran Fists do a ton of damage as well. Even if you do have ochain you probably want whm rdm brd, or whm whm brd, and 3 melee.

He does have an enfire effect during hundred fists so barspells and carols probably would be needed.

I don't think you could use something a thf they would die even before you got that far he gets in a few hits on you pretty much dead, not to mention you wouldn't keep hate vs other people in your party and they would die.

I can just imagine all the people spamming the BC on patch day when this comes out. Its going to suck horribly. People will be complaining about how the JPs keep getting the claim on the BC.

I just saw a JP BST soloed it on Youtube, it's soloable, go to youtube and search for BST solo lv 99 limit break quest. And PLD is not a must.

Yeah, Ninja is not tanking it, well mine isn't anyways.
Maybe with physical damage reduction gear? And tons of crippling the accuracy and movements of it, though, as I mentioned, slow, paralyze, blind from my Ninja didn't hep much, if at all, lol, and then, if there was more than one bouncing hate.

Either way, I also am quite disappointed if this is all there is to it.
It should be like Maat in disguise or something (note the ??? in the name). There is all in all something iffy about this, in my opinion... I sort of little get it, if it's meant to prove you can play with others, and maybe use some tactics? But really, I don't know...

But what I came here to mention now, was not that. I think I did not see anyone mention it yet, but it's 10 Merit Points to get to try the fight again. ^^;
Or the moogle says: "Atori-Tutori made me promise to exact a payment of 10 merit points or 5 ." what ever that means. I didn't look if it did take 10 of them or what, also a typo there with the blank space.

Then the ones who can't beat it will never get help, and unable to get help even if they're willing to pay for it.

Nothing wrong with selling spots and offers options for those with no helpful LS/friends, or do you enjoy CoP pre lv cap increase and takes 100 years to get help to clear certain mission?

Out leveling it with level 99s would make the fight trivial. If you can get level 99s to come.

so yay. they took away video posting ...

They know the gimiks people will use so hopefully they throught ahead and made it so you can't do those things. Perfect defense, CS stun etc (block all 2 hours would be a good start). I really do hope they find a way to stop people mercing the fight too.

I don't see a problem with people being stuck on this fight for a while, thats the whole idea of a limit break. Test of skill at playing your job in a party.
