Awesome, they made it impossible to over-gear fights before clearing it. Really good design this time SE.

You mean mmos weren't meant for solo playas?

Hi,

Naoki Yoshida here, I am sorry that your characters seem unable to join or form a static group in which to farm Turn 8 of Second Coil. We will be patching this in an emergency maintenance set to begin at Midnight PST 4/1/20XX. After the maintenance, you will be able to join a static group once again.

Please look forward to it.

Who is that boss of T8? I recognize the spear, but it doesn't look like _ _...

Going purely off of appearances, I am assuming this character:

Hello the REAL Naoki Yoshida here, we currently have no plans to fix Turn 8 of Second Coil. We hope you can understand that Turn 8 of Second Coil was meant to make you smack your face against the desk. I wish you all luck and please don't look forward to it.

I figured he'd return. I do think Bahamut (if he does get a fight), is going to be a trial.

Bahamut will most likely be a trial boss for a Future Main Scenario Quest once they finally finish Coil Storyline and move on to introduce a New Endgame Dungeon that will replace Coil.

As of now Coil is a side-story that covers events that will lead to Bahamut's return in the Main Scenario Quest.

Most likely certain dialogues for the Bahamut Arc in Main Scenario will be changed based on if you completed or did not complete Coil Storyline.

I don't get what is going on in this thread

Funny how OP complains about not having a static, yet has found enough time to already complete upgrading a Holy Shield Animus.

I mean, either he got real lucky, or he's making us believe that he couldn't have taken all the time he used for the animus upgrade to gather himself a static.


Either way, complaining about it when the patch hasn't been out for a week... is a bit early, at the very least.

I will at least end this on a positive note and congratulate you on getting the shield. Keep up the good work.

Turn 8 is this boss.

That screenshot on Blue Gartr is turn 9. It was a teaser screencap of Turn 9. Hence why the loot screenshot has a completely different background.

And in other news I am happy Sands of Time are turn 8 onry. (They may drop in turn 9 as well.)

I guessed that this would be the case, seeing the tomestone and it being a T7 drop. Really, really good design this time; SE are basically telling people to do T6 and T7 with i95 weapons (or i100 Animus/Levi EX weapons at best later on) for their first clears and that people can't get i110 weapons/gear (apart from high allagan) before they get to T9, which obviously requires the highest level of gear available. People who are not trying to do the hardest content shouldn't be rewarded the best rewards, either. i100 is still nice and keeps the casuals relevant for everything, but there is more incentive to shoot for that high-end gear now. Nice, nice.

so you can no life an animus weapon in a few days, but you can't join a static raid group? that's a bit of a stretch of the term "casual" :p

u dont need 110 if u dont raid

Thank SE. Now I gotta rely on skill and team co-ordination to win the fight since I can't be over geared. /sarcasm

Seriously though I think that getting bis 110 gear is going to be slower because not only will you have to need roll against your party but you will also have to but its on lock out so effectively only one person a week will get it. Poor design choice imo. I would rather that everyone get the drop and keep it in turns 7+.

The shield takes only two trials to Animus.
You hardly need to be a no life king to obtain that.

i wouldnt call that poor design really. just a way to control how many people can get the "best" gear. it makes the gearing up process longer than it was before.
