Oh definitely understand where you are coming from, but I just can't see it staying as synced content forever. I mean eventually players will be able to unsync the Omega Savage raids to unlock these Ultimate duties anyway so the requirement for actually unlocking them means already there isn't much sense of accomplishment don't you think?Quote:

It's called Garuda Normal, Titan Normal, Ifrit Normal, and Praetorium. Have fun with those.

From my view, ultimate already is easy mode. If it's supposed to be hard:
No pre-made parties allowed
Mechanics are completely random.
Parsers and voice chat don't work. (impossible to happen obviously)
Let's see people finish that. -

This used to not be a big issue because even g5 materia only gave minimal substat increases; now we're looking at people losing almost literally thousands of substat unless they make ultima specific gearsets out of sometimes obscure and stupid to get gear.
I hope they rework synch rules so that materia doesn't get nulled out, and I hope that the challenge remains intact whatever they do in the future. -

Threads like this just makes me more and more glad that ultimate is locked behind their relevant savage tiers.

When the ultimate series was announced yoshi stated it would have an ilv sync to preserve the difficulty through the expansion. However I don't believe any mention of unsyncing it later was made; I doubt we'll get any info on that before 5.0.

This is besides the fact that all the Coil raids were nerfed to hell because VERY few people could prog them. Twintania caused more Raid teams to shatter than a bull in a china shop.
Ultimate fights will sync your Level AND your iLevel, basically ensuring you can NEVER out-gear the fight. -
