i really dont understand why would someone be upset a particular monster isn't hard. if the issue was the entire game being a giant cakewalk i might understand... but why does anyone care if they aren't affected by one specific mob's WS? that's like saying genbu's turtle song should affect all buffs instead of songs/rolls because you don't have to bring brd and/or cor to genbu, just like you don't have to bring people whose lvls are multiple of 5 to akvan.
Honestly this has been in many FF games, and I've always counted that as one of the perks of being 99. Even when we were 75 years ago I thought of 99 and how level 5 crap wouldn't work anymore.
If SE thinks Level 5 Petrify is not working as intended on NMs, they could simply make a high level/NM version (Level ? Petrify) that affects a random level ending with 0-9.
