Critical Garuda Aerial Blast delay bug

When Garuda reaches the point in her battle script where she summons large numbers of razor plumes prior to Aerial Blast, she is unable to transition into Aerial Blast and subsequent phases for a large period of time. Unfortunately, this is more than enough time to defeat Garuda if a party stacks heavy burst DPS (BLMs). This has become the most prevalent strategy because it allows groups to ignore literally every single mechanic of the battle.

• Razor Plumes in the first phase do not need to be defeated because their damage to the rock pillars does not matter if Garuda does not Aerial Blast.
• The "west winds" and "south winds" battle phases are never faced.
• The Garuda clones "Suprana" and "Chirada" are never faced.
• Razor Plume/Satin Plume spawns after Aerial Blast are never faced.
• Positioning of Garuda and party members to avoid Slipstream hitting the rest of the party is never an issue.

Garuda's battle script must be fixed so that she will immediately perform Aerial Blast at a certain HP threshold even if she has begun spawning razor plumes. Ifrit does this so that Hellfire and the post-Hellfire phase cannot be skipped. The same solution is needed here.

If Garuda doesn't change phases at all due to this issue.

what would be the difference between doing the battle this way and brainless hitting a wall for winning.

the battle design got wasted completely.

not like this please http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tsmS...ature=youtu.be
garuda should do her aerial blast always at 50%

It appears Yoshi-P has posted about this a few hours ago.

ちょっとこのスレッドの主旨からは外れますが……。

上記についてですが、真ガルーダ討滅戦のガルーダAIのモード移行時に、
残HP割合チェックが外れていたために発生しています。
こちらについては、処理の修正を検討中です。

ご報告まで。

動画では簡単に見えても、単純なトレースでは、上手くいかないとは思います。

ですが、やはりエンドコンテンツとして、
今回の攻略方法が最速になるようには設計はしておらず、開発側の仕様漏れですので、
できるだけ「長く色々なクラス/ジョブ/DPS効率」をお試し頂けるように、調整を検討しています。

ご迷惑をおかけしますが、続報までお待ちください。
（吉田は明日から海外出張なので、Community Repから続報が上がると思います！）
