will have to agree with the OP. While not difficult. it reminded me of emptying the ocean with a teaspoon. Far too drawn out for the simplicity of it.

While I can agree with the amount of time it took to complete the duty being a tad lengthy, these complaints about having to "play a class I don't enjoy" are rather silly. Would it have made much of a difference if Thancred was your class of choice but still only had a handful of actions available?

I enjoy these roleplay quests for the story elements they provide, especially this one in particular because of the characters it involved. While the toolkit complexity could use a bit of tweaking, I hope they (and I'm pretty confident they will) stay.

i love playing as the scions! , but this battle was TOO LONG outside that enjoyed it

and yeah its fun to play as other job for a while Class quest let u play as Bard (physical ) or BLM (mage ) on 1 combat :D

I thought it was fun.

The worst one we ever did was honestly Hien's in 4.5. Because some madman thought a great idea of engaging gameplay would be the 1 out of a 1-2-3 combo and a dot, let alone have that go on for almost 8 minutes.

The great part of Hien's was that the second part was directly linked to it so after doing Hien's once, I didn't have enough DPS as AST to complete the second part and had to do it all over again. I like the concept of these but there's no reason for them to be so long, I felt like Y'shtola's was a good length of time but that was also a while back.

I thoroughly enjoyed this; it was intense and really amped up the story and the emotions I was feeling. Best fight of its kind in the game. I had to go take a breather afterwards because I was so wrung out. Beat it first time too which is probably a first for me! It totally worked with everything else ShB has given, being an absolute rollercoaster of a fight

Well, I really hope SE doesn't listen to you because this is by far one of the best parts in the expansion.

I liked it for what it was supposed to be. I do think they should've given Ran'jit less health though. It felt like it dragged on a little too long.

If SE is going to continue this practice of forcing me to play some class I don't want to play, with a crippled set of capabilities at that, and do so for 20 minutes just to satisfy some sadistic streak that the game designers have... well, they can go foist that crap on someone else, because I'll no longer stand for it. I've done it too many times already, but this is the straw that breaks the camel's back.
I'm sure there are folks that love it, but I HATE it with a passion. Do it again, SE, and I'm gone.

Wish you were a casual during ARR and had to level another class to unlock your job. Wish the CC system was still a thing, too.
