Ozma Mount

So it seems like a reward for clearing the Baldesion Arsenal is an Ozma mount.

I think it would be fitting if it played A Thousand Faces like when you get sucked up by Black Hole.

Seems fair, it's a cool mount.

If you can only raise via Limit Break and logos, pretty sure brds and mch taking resurrection logos will be a thing.

I snickered for a moment when I read raise via limit break I automatically thought oh bards will be great and then was like wait...Brds can't raise any more.
Shows how much I use LB on BRD to think brds have raise lb again. rip.

I can’t wait to-











not get this mount because I didn’t play through Eureka!



seems like a good reward, though.

Glad to see they put it in Diadem 4.55

Still not worth doing for a big silver disco ball nty

If I was a betting man I would say only the
Sacrifice L action works, because why else would they mention that one.

Well, that one as a last resort HOPEFULLY.
Your probably right But I'm just thinking since Absolute Virtue in FFXI was THEEEE longest battle - https://www.destructoid.com/final-fa...at-99391.phtml

You'll be able to use the rez one too - since the logo resurrection can be cast only a handful of times. And with that many people, there's going to be a lot of deaths so I doubt sacrificing one's self would come into play unless it was a must to avoid certain mechanic.

When you sit on it, does it make you day 1 Wiping City buttclench?

But will it randomly change into a pyramid and cube shapes as well??

Can't wait to catch up to this content next year and have no chance in an empty zone.

Yeah I saw that too. I am willing to suffer through another Eureka map to get this mount.

Hopefully that'll be its mount action.

The things they'll do to make us go to Eureka....

I mean, it looks nice. But I'm not gonna go through Eureka to get it... Good luck to anyone trying for it.

Very nice mount but > Eureka, so no ty

Looks pretty, shame I'd rather eat mud than go into Pagos to even attempt to catch up.

Ozma was a favorite boss, I was such a proud little kiddo when I beated it in FF9 so seeing the mount got me all :D ...and then I saw it's in Eureka so :(
Good luck to those attempting! I never made it pass Pagos and probably won't attempt to despite the nerfs.

I hope it does ozma things.

Eating mud can be fun when you are drunk...but Eureka is one of those things even alcohol can't turn into something fun

And here, ladys and gentlemen, we see how Square Enix gets people into Eureka.

"Lets add something unique into content almost nobody likes so it looks like almost everybody likes it!"

this is a nice reward (and a lot of bragging rights!) for the people who stuck through Eureka from start to finish, so yes, it is not for everybody. If you (general you) manage to beat the ultimate challenge Eureka throws at you, the Baldesion Arsenal, thus saying "I did it all, now I am really done" then you deserve this reward

Pagos is SO easy now, I don't understand why so many people are still so butthurt about it. Astrologian sucked ass in 3.0 at first but they fixed it and people loved it... so why does Pagos have such Stigma attached to it. You can literally Solo Pagos now. That said, I'm super excited for Hydatos and Ozma and can't wait to jump when I get off work.

A person can choose to not do side content.
A job is not side content. (BLU is the exception.)

I'm okay with this. At least it's directly related to Eureka and makes thematic sense being a reward for doing Eureka content.

Unlike a number of rewards from previous Eurekas (*cough* form and function hairstyle *cough cough* /shiver and /scheme emotes) that didn't belong in there and were only included as an incredibly dirty way to lure in players who otherwise would have no interest in that type of content.

I just want to express how happy I am that for once there is nothing that I desperately want out of Hydatos. That means I'm finally free to treat Eureka as a form of entertainment available at my discretion and at my own pace, as opposed to a chore whose availability and quality is dictated by a variable number of inconsistent, unreliable strangers.

I just hope that if they attempt to do another iteration of Diadem, they will let it stand on its own merits and cater exclusively to the people who enjoy Diadem-type content. If Eureka was really supposed to be a love-letter to FF11, they should have filled it chock-full of iconic FF11 stuff, nothing but unashamed pandering and nostalgia. That would have probably been received much better by a much smaller but more passionate audience. Random Gold Saucer rewards and relics did not need to be held hostage by Eureka. Designing niche content and then incentivising an unnecessarily wide array of players to play it for hundreds of hours has hopefully been proven to have been a terrible decision.

It's not only beating the Arsenal. Like the Arsernal looks manageable, it's dragging myself through the unpleasant grind that's the killer.

Easy = entertaining or fun.

They can keep it. After seeing the Hydatos weapons I have no desire to finish my Pyros weapon... still need like 6 unique logoactions for that anyway and I'm not farming any more bunnies.

We have to admit, it's a pretty smart move.

Because spending 2 hours bashing mobs IS NOT content, at best it's a way to make you think you have something to do in ordre to keep your sub up

I could argue dungeons aren't content then, all you do is spend 20-30 minutes running down a corridor bashing mobs until you hit a boss which is less mechanically intense than most Eureka NMs, rinse and repeat for every roulette.

What I want to know is if we'll see the Prophet of the Sky Butthole

With the sheer number of people in Eureka at all times, I'd say even your logic of doing so is wrong because it is popular and consistently active.

---

The right question to ask is, is it active because people want the relic achievement/glamour, because people want to see Absolute Virtue or because Eureka itself is enjoyable? We'll never know as these 3 pieces of content have been smushed together when there was no need for them to be.

Who knows? The devs seem to think it is popular based on what they have said. But here are some facts that I can say for certain based on dev information and community observation:
- Eureka is not meant for everyone, and it was designed that way. Eureka is for the type of player that likes passive grinds and FFXIesque gameplay, and the mechanics and openness of gameplay reflect that. Not all of it is perfect, and it did get off to a rough start, but some of the complaints about Eureka could be compared to complaining about Ultimate because it is too hard. Which leads me onto:
- Many of the complaints and negative comments are from players who do not actively play Eureka. How many comments do you see that say "I'm glad I didn't get passed anemos, Eureka is trash". Thats not feedback, thats a stigma as Haxxan said.

When we combine these two facts, its clear that the most vocal criticisms are from those that the content wasn't designed for.

So is it good content? It is to some people and not to others, it's as simple as that. I know is that I enjoy it, I know others who enjoy it, it presents some good systems I would love to see elsewhere and it is always active. Ultimately it doesn't matter what anyone's individual opinion is, because the metrics will tell the devs everything they need to know.

Of course I am not knocking on people that enjoy Eureka themselves. I personally enjoyed Anemos before being broken by Pagos and giving up. My issues with those metrics is that Eureka has too many things involved in it to say if the concept is enjoyable. If I want a relic skin for glamour, I'm stuck grinding and I'll be seen in those metrics without being consulted on if I enjoy what I'm doing or not. If I'm grinding for Absolute Virtue, nobody will make the difference if I enjoy the grind or if my grind is a means to an end. Also people that aren't actively playing Eureka also have valid feedback. Why aren't they playing it? What would they like to see changed to make it more appealing to them as well? These are questions SE should ask instead of relying on how many players zone into the damnable thing.

That was my own opinion if some of you read that i posted as universal fact you need to learn how to read?
Perhaps i should not have used the example i did i could admit that now but still.
Myself i would rather do EX Primals or Savage content, but carry on if you like Eureka not all of us do so...

Pretty sure it was good In the Rabanastre alliance raid. I mean if you didn't have a caster in your group and the stone-adds were growing due to lack of dmg/gear. I remember LBing those and the whole trying to line them up bit.

Other than that I really don't...Oh yeah, wait there was that time when it first came out - the lb3 that is - after they did remove raise - that I would try to use it on Ifrit Hard Roulette before Melee did theirs because of the fact that I always did like the shower of arrows and the whole bowing after it.

Hmm..

Back On topic here: I watched JP get squished by AV in mere minutes and I flinched because of the PTSD from 11. Masaka was the perfect word.

Edit2:
I just went to youtube after this post and saw Mr.Happy clear AV awesome job! ;D And Proto Ozma is a troll.

well. One group of NA raiders just cleared the Arsenal. Yup, the mount does do Ozma things, here's a clip https://clips.twitch.tv/TiredDependablePenguinKappaRoss

Meanwhile i cant even level... how nice.

Relics were supposed to be the way for casuals to sloooooowly get the same ilvl as the hardcore raiders...then they added a hardcore raiding step. I guess it will get easier as people grind the 1st boss enough for max elemental gears?

The Arsenal is related to neither Eureka's story nor the relic. Plenty of folks in my linkshell getting their 405s without setting foot in there.
