Phoenix Down

[Vactus]

I wish I had the source, but it was in a live letter. I wanna say the one or two just before launch. :/ But yes. In the future (lol) we're (FC's) are getting the ability to summon a full Primal. However, caveats they added:

1) Must be hunted in the wild
2) Only one primal of each type available to use at a time
3) If the FC doesn't use it within a certain time (a week I think they said) it'll despawn from the FC list and someone else can claim it.

That's all I can remember though.

Happened to me one-time at level ~48 I received a Phoenix Down from quest reward. Some guy died in front of me and I told him to wait for rez. I tried using the Phoenix Down on him and it never worked.

This right here is one of a few reasons it just sits on my man servant. He like feathers and so I gave it to him. Maybe there will be an actual use for them later down the line.

Limit Breaks are the most super-dee part of the battle system and it sucks in this game too.
No surprise.

At least the caster lbs are pretty kickass.

※Cannot be used during battle.

Didn't even know this exist. Is this a one-time use item? And how do you ACTUALLY use it? I'm guessing after battle

you target somebody and use it like you would use any item. You can only use it whenever you would be able to ride a mount- when you are not on any enemies' hate lists. It is a one time use item and it only comes from a quest.

FFXIV 1.0 had similar items that were purchasable from the grand companies (you could only carry two: One that had a 50/50 chance to work, and one that always worked- You could have one of each but not more than one of either.)

Kind of wish there was a penalty for dying so raise would actually be useful and maybe people would learn to dodge and not just take the damage lol

The penalty for dying in primal fights and bosses is probably having to start over because getting up during a boss fight is rarely easy. The penalty for dying anywhere else is gil and time wasted. That's penalty enough. I can 100% guarantee you that nobody is purposely not dodging to their full capability because dying doesn't punish them enough. Increasing the death penalty isn't going to make anyone try any harder than they already are.

what?
How?
Source?

some letter he say can call primal full form but call by FC not smn. btw.. outside raid i think no point to use something like that...

It's stupid to have zero penalty for returning but have a weakness penalty for raising. making Raise useless except in the boss rooms.

There isn't zero penalty. You take gear damage (monetary penalty) and unless your HP is really close to where you died, you waste just as much time walking back to where you were as you would have wasted time being weakened.

Hell, even outside of battle, i was unable to use my phoenix down. Useless items is completely useless.

[Ronove]

Whenever I've used a Phoenix Down on someone it's worked. I mean granted, not being able to use them in battle makes them useless but I have used a few on occasion.

Since there is no penalty for death and all dungeon are instanced yeah, it's kinda useless. This isn't FFXI.
