calling Square-enix for a last challenge for each job @ lvl 99

[thania]

Here's a compilation of suggestion and discussions i made on different forums

Square-enix will make the last genkai easy to please all the mass of players
but as mentioned earlier we will loose the pleasure to get a real challenge and a special last instant like the maat fight was

there's something square could do !!!

after this last genkai ( for the mass of people) adding a last challenge @ 99 versus a master of our own job
for example for sam a fight versus noillurie
for drk a fight against zeid etc etc ...

the fight would be hardcore and will give you a special item 99 for your job or a new job ability

and for hardcorehardcore gamers finishing fights against the 20 heroes with the 20 jobs will allow you to gain a mega special item like : maat cap II

what do you think about it ?

some ideas for opponents
i picked up in missions heroes / relics wielders heroes / campaign battle heroes, generals or freelancers / notorious vanadiel npcs

sam : tenzen ? noillurie ? gilgamesh ?
drk : zeid ? Duskraven ? Fonove ?
whm : pieuje ? ferreous coffin ?
rdm : Rainemard
warrior : volker ? Xonia ?
corsair : Luzaf
puppet : asphmau
monk : maat ? degenhard ? prishe ?
black mage : shantoto ? ajido majurido ? Kayeel-Payeel ?
summoner : karuha baruha
ninja : Kupalu-Harupalu ? lion ? Kagetora ?
thief : Putori-Tutori ? Nanaa Mihgo ? aldo ?
paladin : trion ? Kilhwch ? Cerane I Virgaut ?
beastmaster : Choh Moui ? Lhu Mhakaracca ? Rongo-Nango ?
bard : Terounalivet ? Lewenhart ?
ranger : Elivira ? Ghebben ? Perih Vashai ? Semih Lafihna
dragoon : Dzhau Yaam ? our own wyvern ? Achtelle ?
dnc : lilisette ? mayakov (lol) ? portia ?
sch : maruna-kurina ? enhanced version of gunther shutz ?
blu : raubahn ( final soulflayer form ?) azima ?

Square-enix could even make it as a big event for the community and make us vote for our favorite opponent for each job. and after that prepare quests and last fights according to our votes

I like this idea.
A Final Showdown at lvl 99 for anyone up for the challenge, and a chance to win an exclusive job abiltiy for that job you fight for, for the successful completion of a very difficult challenge.

But I think getting access to this fight should be a challenge as well.
A Quest to prove that you are ready for the fight.

I think this would win the hearts of the ppl that want a greater challenge .

this time the fight would be another thing than sleep 300 tp full ws and skillchain

for example some directions it could take for sam versus tenzen or noillurie

- had to use the good ws and the proper additional effet of gekko / kasha / yuki or ageha at a proper timing
- had to switch beetween hasso and seigan and use third eye to anticipate a certain attack
- had to blade bash a certain attack
- had to do a specific skillchain on a certain condition
- counter a certain ws by another ws
- use of massive medecines and food stock to survive
etc etc
- maybe had to use a bow or polearm at a certain point in the fight
- need of well geared character and full skill ( g-katana / evasion / parryng etc ...) to survive the fight

in fact a scripted fight where u have to use your tp and ja wisely
and to prepare your job at his maximum potential : the true last and individual fight of your FFXI carrieer

we have the same opinion when you said the game need challenge. thats the reason why i suggest this final job fight versus a hero @ lvl 99. i agree this fight would need skill of your job ( thats the reason why i put a list and example with sam of what the fight could be)
my view on this kind of fight :

1) you'll need good gears, medecines and skill maxed out : so only hardcore gamers and guys who have "pushed to the edge job" ( as relic/mythic/empy and collector of good gears) will have an advantage : but it's ok they devoted their play time on this job

2) you'll need to perfectly play your job cause the fight would be scripted and forced you to do ja / spell / ws /skillchain with perfect timing and knowledge of your job ( so also good players will have a edge on this fight not only based on "gear" : i know a lot of relic/empi/mythic owners who doesnt know a shit of their job): only skilled people will manage this fight

so a mix of 1) and 2) would be a pure win and bring some challenge and true achievement for everyone on their favourite job

the greatest achievement would be to finish this task with the 20 jobs !

that's the reason why i think they should stay on a easy last genkai for the "mass" as they intend to do
but add this last battle i suggested for 99 and hardcores gamers who want to test their limit of their favorite job ( with great job reward at the end of course : new ja or job specific piece of gear)and a kind of mega achievement : maat cap II if you manage to do the 20 jobs fights
