I hope not.

What else could it be?

I was surprised with patch news. I'm curious what will be added/changed by this patch.

T9 nerfs :D

Minor bug fixes, more Quality of life additions and whatnot. I'm sure that's what they said the next few patches will be before expansion would be.

I see you all the time wishing and begging about coil nerfs in this forum. With all that time spent you could have just formed a network of capable players and cleared the already-20%-easier fight already.

You're in for a huge disappointment. :(

How about another upgrade to zodiac weapon? Item level 145, yes please!!

Apocolypse Tera and Nirvana Tera here I come!!!!

If Second and Final Coil are really 20% easier then why are people STILL having problems with them? A company mate of mine runs a static and has made many runs on Turn 9 and still has yet to get a win. He's not some noobie, either, he's a Legacy just like me and has been on the forefront of all the content this game has to offer. I don't get this resentment over the easing of difficulty on Coil, those who care about it have all done it already. Let those who can't get a static group enjoy it for a change.

T9 didn't get nerfs, only the Echo added to it, which is why it retains its difficulty.

You don't need a static group to clear T9. I've helped multiple people get clears via PF and I know plenty of people who have gotten their clears the very same way. Heck, my own first clear was with three friends and four PUGs.

EDIT: I should also add, I've been DFing Turns 6 and 7 to farm for the rest of the HA DRG set. I've been averaging about a 90% clear rate there even with two or more new people every time.

Well if they nerf fcob this patch what changes?
Ppl gonna clear normally as they were farming all week everyday.
Besides it's pretty close to expac so idk y u'd wanna cling onto something tht will be like lol wut its not even worth the hassle when u can do the new alexander raid etc.
soon ppl won't do fcob similar to how ppl don't do t3 because its pointless and will only be for clears and maybe crafting materials.
Hopefully they fix/ add a few more QoL things and tie up some loose ends before 3.0.

Maybe this patch's just about letting moogle cap dyeable ...

I don't really care if they add echo to Final Coil since a lot of us are just fishing for gear on for alt jobs. The thing is mechanical nerfs aren't really needed at this point. Not until they add it to pure cross-server DF. Even still, Final Coil is considerably more forgiving than Second Coil was. Oh well, I don't really care either way they'll do whatever they want. My input on this matter doesn't really mean a hill of beans in the grand scheme of things.

While it is of course clearable (since the DPS check is pretty much non existant now) it doesn't change the Fact that it is still pretty hard content, especially since messing up the Mechanics still murders you.
I did finish it over PF, though I also failed MANY Times since one ... challenged ... Person can still easily produce a wipe -.- (What do you mean don't cluster the Golems? That way we can AOE them down lol! Oh and Sorry I murdered the Healer by dropping a Meteor on them)
Then again what would they change? also it's the Gate to FCoB so I always considered it a Skill Check of Sorts.

after a 6 hour patch to just make the v-day outfit dyeble this wouldn't surprise me

I bet my 40k gil is the first echo at 10% for FCOB (15% would be nice)

Very likely to be T10-T12 nerfs. I don't understand the people who get so mad about easing old content. Why do you even play video games? You just seem miserable about them.

I hope they will remove the cap for poetic. They removed the weekly cap on many dungeons like WoD, so it'd be nice if they were to do the same for the weekly poetic cap.

I'm not sure how being a Legacy player is a measurement of skill.
1.0 was vastly different, being good at that does not equal being good at this.

If your company mate STILL has not cleared T9 after all this time.... then yeah, he kinda IS a noobie.

So are most of the players then, considering coil is a reserved game for the 'elites' in FFXIV. But hey, wouldn't want content that can be cleared by just anyone, right? I mean those 10% hardcore players would get bored if they didn't have anyone to pick on for being 'noobie'.

If I recall correctly Yoshi-P did say that Echo is coming to FCoB, so this is probably what it is. I wouldn't be that surprised after all the complaints in various places that basically said "f**k you" to Steps of Faith that they also put in some nerfs to the trial. After all, everything in this game gets nerfed. Everything.

10 Gils on Echo for FCoB. 10 more Gils on no mechanic nerfs to FCoB.

Please add desynth for all i95-110.

Please.

Probably T10-T12 echo, possibly nerfs... Though I don't see how 10 and 11 could be nerfed without making them absolute cakewalks. It'd be so fun if they removed tether + charge on 10 and thus made it the new T6.

Or maybe it's not FCoB that's getting nerfs, maybe it's T5 and T9? I heard a lot of people are still stuck there...

i will say the same thing i keep saying for my friends in FC (and iw as saying this for 2.55) do not get your hopes up for poetic cap unlock, just treat it as if it isn't going to be un capped if it is Brilliant if not oh well you weren't worried :3

I suppose it's about time for that. I have a fair few friends who haven't cleared 9 yet, mostly because they've been told it's hell and also because very few players want to go back to it once they're in FCoB. We do FC events where we get people clears like that, but I guess not everyone's so lucky and has to find capable players themselves.

No mentions on Zodiac loot drop rates? I hope they increase Zodiac Loot drop rate for this patch as well since I still have a few friends struggling with their loots until now.

Hope they allow us to turn in soldiery gear for gc seals.

I'm still on my Novus. But I know it's wishful thinking to have Light values doubled yet again...

Most of the actual strong players I know enjoy the fight. On our server there's a lot of people helping others clear that T9 just for the fun of it. On my experience it's usually the people who barely clear it that never want to go back.

Tbh I don't know what to think about FCoB nerfs. Easier to farm T13, yay, I guess? There will probably be a ton of Final Witnesses hanging around tomorrow lol.

Perhapes poetics cap is being abolished? Coil nerfs sound likely as well.

This, I would very much like to be able to do this. Stupid things have been cluttering up my inventory for ages.

I don't want echo :( but it probably is that...

To the people that say, "why do you care about them easing on old content"... well, not everyone have been in a static for a longer time and progressed through it all... That doesn't mean you're not good enough, or that you want it to get easier.

I took a break some time back, and still had to beat T9 before getting into FCoB, but I couldn't find a static I like, until a pretty long time, when I found some very nice people... but nice and understanding people doesn't mean the group had what it takes to progress far. I'm currently in a static with people I know, and we are trying to beat T12 and go into T13. We don't want it to get easier. They should at least not nerf anything, and there shouldn't be echo on T12 and T13 IMO...

I know you can turn of the echo buff, but really? who does that? The casuals are just gonna go past you with their echo anyways. Echo doesn't always make it much easier, but for example T12, is all about DPS... So it would be much easier.

If everything was easily cleared even the 90% "noobies" would have nothing to shoot for.

Maybe it's an uncap to poetics? >w>

Considering 2.4 issued in FCOB and 2.41 soon after nerfed SCOB, it's safe to assume 2.56 will be nerfs and 10% echo to FCOB as well as the ability to solo queue, alongside some QoL stuff.
