it's funny how people come with VPNs all the way. What if I do not want to pay an extra fee for the game ? I should not have too. And even if I do, nothing guarantees that the other 7 won't die and that I won't fail again and again.

Leviathan looks soooooooooo badass, just as he should as the King of the Sea!

My only hope is that his music is as awesome as Titan's and Garuda's.

W-what's wrong with Ifrit's theme?

[Mambo]

No, Look up what Zenith means. Relics are not getting upgraded anymore, they are just a stepping stone to the next weapon like all other weapons and gear in this game.

You doubt the size of SE's thesaurus. Maybe you should also look up the definition of "Final" :3

Means nothing in the face of the dev statement that there will be future relic upgrades.

Post the dev statement saying relics will get more upgrades. Until then I'm going with relics aren't getting upgrades.

W-what's wrong with Ifrit's theme?

Not a clue; I find Ifrit's theme to beat the two others and it's not even close.

To each their own in music tastes, I suppose.

You're correct, you shouldn't have too. However, currently it is one of the few viable options to circumvent the issue. Rather than complain about the lag, I gladly paid the $4 for a month and I haven't lagged since.

I agree with you, but since Titan EX is the only fight you're having issues with... Pingzapper has a free version that is exactly the same as the paid version, but you can only stay connected to it for one hour at a time. So it's absolutely perfect for primal battles. Join a group, and when the group is ready, "Hey guys, let me relog really fast." Exit game, load up pingzapper, load game, and bam. The timer on primals is 1 hour anyway, so it's absolutely perfect for that.

Edit:

As for not being able to control how well the other seven players perform, welcome to MMORPGs. This game punishes you pretty badly for not having all 8 people performing flawlessly, but that's just the direction this game has taken.

Thanksfully this is only true for the top-of-the-elite content available. As new things come out, maybe some welcome nerfs will happen (I'd be happy with only a 0.5 longer cast on plumes tbh. Actual timer is just a joke as you can't react to it like the lanslides, the only option is to know what is coming at the exact second it's coming). I'd hate to be locked forever out of the content just because of such a bad designed fight.
