Seat of Sacrifice

I and many others thought seat of sacrifice was stupid hard and we wiped 4 times before finishing with few survivors, I managed to survive the last one but I hope I never get stuck healing in that roulette instance ever again lol

Best Trial ever.

IMO

Seat of Sacrifice's main issue was the quicktime event halfway through that requires everyone in the party to pass - one person fails it, and it's a total wipe (unlike most trial battle QTEs where if one person fails the battle continues on, unless everyone fails). And even then, once you pass it, one of the tanks has to use the LB3 Limit Break in order to survive the attack that follows it, so unless you know what to expect it really is brutal (it was the only story trial I'd actually watched a mechanic/strategy video for as I'd heard the horror stories about it and didn't want to fail). Considering I passed that on my first try shows that preperation paid off.

Either way, I agree it was a ridiculously difficult trial, but it was fitting I guess, given the story situation for it.

try the Extreme ;)

I like it. It requires actually being conscious. Too many old trials have become trivial from gear bloat and power creep, but SoS still has some bite to it.

They need to ditch that QTE honestly. That or allow us to see who fails it. I don't mind the tanks missing the LB because a lot of people do when they're new, but almost immediately after that happens every QTE is failed as if to punish said new tank for their lack of knowledge. That and some people just do it anyways.

Happened to me plus about 3 or 4 times to others now that I've seen. And you know it's done out of resentment when both of the original tanks have finally left and been replaced and suddenly no one fails the QTE.

Sucks to suck.

Talk to me when you start timing out the trial.

It was definitely not fun to heal when it first came out. It has the usual spicy mechanics but then there's the QTE that causes a party wipe if anyone misses and the really tight timing on the tank LB3. So those causing wipes over and over when you're already dealing with spicy mechanics just kind of exhausts you as a healer.

It does get better. I don't really sweat it at all when I get it these days.

How could you dislike the only trial where we see an ascian, especially Elidibus, roleplaying as FF1 WoL?

To say nothing of

'Mr Grumpy' aka Emet appearing from the Lifestream and saving your butt

at the last moment (assuming you pass the QTE). ;)
