[dev1103] The problem with Voidwatch Final Chapter

[Karbuncle]

I happen to tend to agree with the OP, For different reason.

Comparing it to sky access is really rather silly/stupid, or any mission/Storyline for that matter. Because for Sky/Mission Access you knew from the beginning that it would require you to get to Sky through Zilart, Or clear CoP for Sea, or what have you.

But Voidwatch is different. since its been released, Voidwatch has been about free access to Voidwatch Battles regardless of what Battle you yourself were on. Since its introduction, Only 1 person needed to have the clears for the battle to be had. The entire premise was being able to fight regardless of your abyssite level, so long as you had your abyssites at T1.

Now they suddenly throw a curve-ball and have a Voidwatch Battlefield that requires every single "Storyline" Clear (Cities + Jeuno - Botulus/ig). I mean, a Lot of people got the clears, But I personally only cleared up to Jeuno. I can go back and do them no problem, I just have a problem with the idea that voidwatch has always been about freely experiencing the content so long as someone could pop, and now suddenly the exclusive battlefield is shoved in our face.

If from the beginning I had to do all the wins to participate, It wouldn't be a problem. Because I, and the playerbase, would be prepared and expecting the final battlefield to be exclusive and need clears. Half the posts on BG after it was released were people asking about how to enter, and, "If everyone needed the KI or just one person".

People were expecting it to be like every other Voidwatch battle. 1 Person needs the KI, other can participate, but not progress story-line wise.

Long story short, I see where the OP Is coming from, and while getting the clears isn't a difficult task, Its still a little BS that this content was designed to be able to participate whenever, and needing clear was never necessary, then needing clears suddenly becomes entirely necessary.

I get the strange feeling a lot of you may be the people who have all the clears going "That'll teach them!". If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But this is not like much we've experienced to date. The only similarity i can draw is Shinryu.
