Some contents in 1.23 are better than ARR

What final boss?
Aurun Vale - the chests were in the first fruit room, still near the dungeon entrace
Cutters Cry - shortly before the Mistress (first midboss)
Dzemael - Behind the ogre (midboss)

There was no final boss in dungeons you needed to kill for AF gear.

It's the AF final bosses, duh...

BLM - That boss has groups of lanterns that frequently pops after 1 minute being killed. Need bunch of BLM blizzard 2 AOE the second they pop, because if they didn't killed same time, they will immediatedly repop, which led to wipe.
PLD - Ogre & Ahriman. Need to kite one of em around.
WAR - kill birds while kiting Gorge away since he has very devastating aoe hit, 1-hit kill most of time too.
BRD - killing Ixals in certain order before hitting the main guy.
DRG - kill drake while other tank kite drg away.
MNK - killing soldier in order before getting to final guy.
WHM - the weakest fight. Only need to kill elementals in order. Can even be done with 2-3 ppl.

While majority of fights follow similar pattern, it was quite challenging for some of 1st timers.

Nice sum up.
When I finished my AF quest in 1.0,I felt I had accomplished something.
and had a good time with my LS mates.

I still remember who helped me.and we still play together in 2.0!
(sadly in 2.0 the only content that you will need a group is raiding ,but I don't like do it everyday)

In 2.0, all AF quests are soloable. all I got are some worthless virtual gears.
& the gears become obsolete very fast!


Where is the fun?where are the memorable memories?

AF final bosses are still ingame. Only that they are now soloable or you have some NPCs helping you (but still need some strategy).
I think you don't mean the final bosses, but the lack of party quests.

duh... think i don't know that? Those are basic contents players need to finish before you can even starts relic quests. And unlock hard primals, then coils, then extreme primals, and the rest of end-game stuff. lol

And yes, I consider those as final bosses of AF chain quests, difference is that each version treats it differently.
