Extreme primals.. who else does NOT like this?

Repetition and recycling is what FF is about. How many games have had Ifrit, Bahamut, etc? Were you tired of them before this game?

Repeting content from one game to another is fine, as that is what makes a Final Fantasy game what it is.

But repeating content in the same game is not a good idea. I had to farm Ifrit HM for his weapon a few dozen times too many with my main class and now i'm sick of him. Even when I get to 50 with other classes, I have very little desire to farm him for the weapons. I hope they don't give us extreme versions, and that if they do, they make the fights totally new and interesting for those of us who can do the HM version with our eyes closed. Too much repetition is a bad thing!

I can agree with this, although they don't look like something that would drop off a primal :O. I suspect it will drop primal armor ( iirc I saw that in a letter before launch!)

If I had to guess I'd say maybe iLVL 75 weapons for ifrit extreme and 80 or 85 for Titan/Garuda. I highly doubt they're gonna add other unique item drops for them, but that would be a pleasant surprise. I also wouldn't expect the items to be better than relic +1's yet, even though the fights themselves are going to be a lot harder than any individual relic fight.

They're guaranteed to drop a fair amount of tomes though, so maybe for the extremely geared/talented this would become the fastest way to farm philo/myth.

How many people do you think was even actively playing XIV 1.23..?

Getting primal armor would be tits. I wonder if they actually pooled their resources into that, though.

Looking forward to Extreme Ifrit, since the Hard one is easy even on AF. Give me those un-stunnable Eruptions.

The rest... couldn't care less. Considering they'll be heavily scripted like every other boss, it'll just be more moves to remember with higher damage. The current hard modes of them are enough for me.

I would have preferred new primals than powering up the old ones currently. I'm from 1.0 also and I'm bored of seeing Ifrit and Garuda xD. I know Moogle King will be re-added but that's not new content, its just re-adding what was there before but we will see. Just the weapons you gain from it would be obsolete and would only be for vanity with relics so easily attained.

Quite frankly an idea I would love to be put in would be a survival mode gauntlet type thing, liek where your team of 4-8 is put up against boss after boss to know end.

If the suggestion there were 20,000 active players of 1.23, and only 400 people finished Ifrit Extreme, that would put a 2% finished rate on it.
