Limbus adjustments for the future?

[Quetzacoatl]

As far as endgame content has been touched, We really haven't seen much about revamping Limbus for the level 90-99 Era.

I believe it would be nice to see the 3-day entry limit removed and reset at every JP Midnight like Dynamis. Reasons being:

• Opens up more casual activity and small-group activity, especially for players who don't have Linkshells for the event.

• Allows unpenalizing solo play for players who want to run on their own time. Player Died? They can try again tomorrow instead of waiting for 3 painstaking days.

• Not many people touch Limbus anymore, merely because it's either already been done by higher-tier groups, further dividing the audience who want rewards from Limbus and people who already have them.

This event should be more available to those who want to participate, especially since I see a lot of friends of mine who can't find a group worth their life for Limbus. This was always a noticeable problem and it would help to enjoy the game a little more. The other part to this change would be to reduce the cost of the Cosmo-Cleanse from 15,000 gil to 5,000 gil. If Limbus is done actively, it would cost the same as if you were buying the Cosmo-Cleanse after you waited for the entry restriction to be lifted. However, If resetting the entry time to JP Midnight is not an option for balance purposes, I would like to suggest an alternative option.

• If Entry Reset at JP Midnight is deemed imbalancing, at least keep the Cosmo-Cleanse available for purchase after the time the player last entered a zone and reduce the cost of the Cosmo-Cleanse to 5,000 Gil, but lock out a specific area if they win or lose for 3 days. For example, if a player wins/loses SW Apollyon, you will not be able to enter again until the next 3 days.

I am only presenting a couple of ideas here, and I leave it to Square-Enix to consider this.

Everyone else: Thoughts, discussions?

Worth looking into - but they may want to make it instanced. Not being able to enter a Limbus zone because someone else is there kinda stinks. Made worse by the fact that most of Limbus can be soloed.

It's not an issue now, but if they made Limbus relevant to 90-99, it could become one.

Make new limbus zones!

The final floor is fighting Omega and Ultima at the same time.

Also, am I the only one thinking that Omega should be the lower body for Ultima? The two of them combined is how Omega looks in some FF games.

It'd mean I could get my hands on homam hands/feet sooner and stop having to gear like a scrub on BLU so sure.

That would be interesting, they could revamp CS Apollyon and Central Temenos Basement 1 for it.

Two versions of the same boss would drop new gear and the like.

Someone once photoshopped Ultima and Omega together into one enemy. It look pretty neat... I can't find the image though...

It was basically Ultima weapon mounted onto Omega weapon.

[Quetzacoatl]

Haha, nice. Post it when you find it!

Either way, it would be nice to see Limbus get some revamping after 6 years. Something to freshen it up.

People don't do Limbus because all of the gear is now completely obsolete for virtually every job that can equip it. There's so much gear that has the same or more haste and better stats than just a few ACC/MP/HP so nobody cares.

[Nidhogg]

Add Neo-Omega and Neo-Ultima, add Homam and Nashira to Trial of the Magians, make it so they drop materials needed to upgrade Homam and Nashira gear, as well as materials used for AF1+2 synergy if they are going to follow AF2+2s route and it'll be able to consider it an event again.

Please don't add staggers to Limbus, Salvage, Einherjar, ZNMs, that should have been something that was Abyssea specific I think it's silly that we can stagger stuff in Dynamis.
