Normal (newbie) version of the new Ultima fight for casuals? xD

I was watching the Mr Happy videos and the fights looks amazing, any chance we can have a normal mode for that? For the casuals? Please xD.

It is called ultima's bane and is accessible at lv50. /sarcasm

The whole point of all those fun mechanics is to make the fight hard and yet epic.

I mean the only thing keeping casuals from doing savage and ultimate is excuses of claiming to be casuals and not being good enough when getting "good enough" is a matter of practicing your rotation on a dummy evrry now and zhen and after that just practicing a fight. But getting good is a term that got villianized to prevent "elitism", because god forbid the average player learns to optimize at least half their ki.

We do. Ultima Normal (MSQ Story) and Ultima Extreme (Minstrel's Ballad - Ultima's Bane) already exist. If you want them to be a challenge, do them sync'd.

Here, you can have this...

Lol, sorry. Poor taste in humor aside, that's the whole point of the Ultimate raid. Hardcore challenge for Hardcore players. If you want to try it, wait till 6.0 then you can solo the fight.

There are two casual versions:
1. "Praetorium" for super casuals
2. "The Minstrel's Ballad: Ultima's Bane" for not so casuals

Also casual only means less time invested, not low skill level.
Even casuals can clear and have cleared O8S to unlock the UwU.

I don't think I'll clear UwU. But I like the game better when I have something to work on anyways.

It definitely looks like a fun fight but it has that much going on because it's meant to be hard. I don't think they could make all those mechanics work together for an easy version of the fight.

At some point in the future, no doubt when the next expansion comes, both Ultimate Bahamut and Refrain will probably have an option to unsync and considering some lvl 70 players still have issues with Sephirot and Nidhogg mechs, the ultimates shouldn't lose too much difficulty at all.

Will we be able to unsync? I'd heard that they'd said that they wouldn't be allowing this, in order to keep the difficulty high. I don't have a source, though, so I'm just curious if anyone else heard that.

I really hope not. It would completely destroy the point of those fights. Its not like these fights have any story, or even new assets that can't be accessed in any other part of the game.
