Numerous tough Elezen and Hyur enemies spawn.
NPC: Don't worry I'll handle them!
Proceeds to kill them easily while I barely do any damage to them
Then, 2 Lalafells spawn.
NPC: Take care of those weaklings yourself!
And I proceed to kill them easily.
Is this some kind of hidden message?!
I love the lvl 15 Gladiator quest.

My favorite is the NPCs that go "Don't worry I'll heal you!"
And then don't.

He was intimidated by their strength. He only said "Take care of those weaklings yourself!" to sound tough.

Weren't the lalas Thamaturges? Mages are squishy. If you want a serious answer, the game's training you to grab and manage aggro as a tank. Sadly, we see lots of tanks who can't grasp this concept.

05-31-2015, 05:03 AMGysonYou're referring to the fight in the bar, I believe. Many of the NPC opponents in that fight have an abnormal amount of health and/or defense for your level and are meant for your NPC ally. If you go randomly picking targets you're not going to be of much help. However, many of the NPCs that appear in each round of the battle are quite normal (and meant for you), and your ally and/or the quest text on the side of your screen directs you to go after them specifically.Quote:

Near end of beta too many people complained they were too tough, so every job and main scenario npc heals you now.

Usually the cutscene will "mark" your intended targets by making them red/aggro on you, so you know which ones to fight and which ones to let the NPCs handle. The GLD 15 fight doesn't do that until those two Lala THMs appear, so yeah, so are the only two you're really supposed to tackle on your own.
The only fights I've had trouble with so far have been the later arcanist ones and the rogue/ninja ones, because the fights are fairly chaotic and a lot of things are happening all at once. The ROG 30 one took me 3-4 tries, mostly because I didn't know where the bombs were the first time, and I didn't deal with the NPCs effectively for the next few attempts. That was really irritating, but since I just respawned and tried again immediately afterward, it was also classic video game-esque. -

05-31-2015, 11:19 AMFynlarGiven there's like a dozen FATE descriptions that allude to Lalafells as being snacks for various nasty monsters, that was pretty obvious already to even the non-GLA players.Quote:

I guess we can assume that's supposed to be saying something? :p -

Gyson... Lala's are Potatoes.
Evil Potatoes.
That's why we must KILL. THEM. ALL!
That's the message. A hidden message that the Potatoes are trying to rise up!
But we must MASH their desires and show them their place! -

I really hate that I stumbled upon this while I was at work cause it's kind of difficult to explain to everyone why I started laughing out loud.
