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

[Kalilla]

Agree~

And it looks like they caved to the teleport - BC suggestion.... disappointing morning (afternoon) for me.

I don't care all that much about the warp, after all it isn't really about the walk there anyways... so that's alright by me I guess.

People will eventually win the battle, it's not going to keep anyone from getting 99. The importance is not getting to 99 as fast as you can, this game use to be that when you hit that 75 mark a rush of joy comes over you and all the anticipation and stress just wash away.

Just getting the quest done, fighting some easy battle, and leveling for 30 minutes to get 99 just doesn't cut it for me. There needs to be something to get in our way and 99... really needs that, the previous ones since 80 have been nothing at all but grinding or silly pointless games :\.

I think its highly unlikely that they'll reverse the decision. Like they'll change it once~ thats it

Why not make it a solo fight? Make people earn 99 rather than just shout for a bunch of better skilled players to do it for them. Don't make it too easy either, if there is no challenge, then it is a pointless waste of time. Might as well do Rock Paper Scissors again if you make it too easy.

Not that i'm against that, but I see solo fights being like the maat fight... extremely easy for some jobs while difficult for others (looking at you Samurai).

There needs to be a solo solution for this.
Every other limit break has been able to be completed by a single player. Make it on par with the initial maat fight, but up the level. That would be fine. I don't want to have to sit around in Jeuno shouting for a group to do this. And a week after the update it's going to be neigh impossible to find anyone that wants to do it.

I felt really accomplished after beating SAM Maat on my third try several years ago. I was really hoping for a Maat Round 2 fight =(

Let's be honest anyways, they are stuck on doing a group battle.

With a group, that comes exploits. People are going to perfect defense it and rush it down just like any other battle they can do.

I hate to have to ask to push 99 further back, and I know it will never happen, but a solo fight would be the only way to do this properly. A fight more difficult than maat based on your job.

It will never happen though, they won't bother with the time. They already invested all their time and money into this project and to redo it completely is not an option this late in the process.

I wish they would have asked us for our opinions months ago instead of doing what we thought would be cool without standing back for a moment and ask what the players want. So lame yet so typical of them.

That brings up a good point, its far easier to make a 1 way group fight than it is to make a variable job based solo fight with suitable difficulty for everyone... this way is cheaper and easier ehe.

I don't think a group battle is a bad thing. But they should not make it easier. I think they should have put the tarutaru and maat in the fight together and then a pt of 6 can go in and fight both of them. Abyssea ruined enough of the game where people just solo everything. Lets get some parties back where people have to actually use their brain and come up with a strategy for something. Your playing an MMO people, if you want to solo buy a console and play a different game.

Ehh, thats not fair.. even in the days when FFXI was significantly tougher there were people soloing things (rdm Genbu?) but the 'let me solo/low man everything' mentality is no good either.
