i hope they do more 1v1 fights in the future

[lxChrisxl]

i think i said in some post before that i'm the immersion type but i'm sure a lot of people that play this game are and the fights have to break that immersion quite a bit. we're supposed to be the warrior of light but even gladiators in halatali hm have more hp than our tanks do still. hit harder as well, actually why not just send a few of them to go fight the primals? lol

needs to be more 1v1 fights that actually make you feel like a warrior of light instead of some dude that screams "i can beat you up! ......as long as i get to bring like seven of my friends"

i'm not talking about pvp though....

i'm talking story quest and stuff like that. every story mission is always "oh you are the great warrior of light? well fight me but not without your mighty friends". it's a bit lame after a while.

Sorry, misread. But at either rate, it really wouldn't make that much of a difference; the player is always going to overpower their foes in the story because that's how the script rolls. Human enemies will never use anything advanced like the player can. Yes, you're the "hero" of the story, but for the sake of challenging players, you're always going to encounter enemies who match your power. Every RPG does that.

i want to over power the enemy but i don't want to over power every single enemy i ever meet with 3-23 other people backing me up. one or two 1v1 fights would be good enough. even the final fight in the ninja story line messed it up. built up this show down between the new pupil and the old master (or the old friend, can't remember but the same happens in both fight wise)but nope, adds for the boss and two npc's to help. i just find it a bit lame that even the dialogue from people like ramuh say bring your friends to face him lol.

it's the main reason i don't bother with immersion in these types of games. what's the point of trying to feel like the warrior of light when i see and need loads of other warriors of light for every little thing?

Because it's an MMO? There's really only so much you can have the story do; ham up the player as the chosen one while ignoring the help he got from other players, or just ignore the multiplayer entirely and have everything be done by the lone player. Even RPGs that have the main lead as a chosen one will always have his rag tag bunch of misfits helping out because while he is chosen to get shit done, he won't always do it alone. In FF14's case, the story is all about you because the script can't take every possible player into account that joins your party, especially when people suddenly disconnect or leave early. This holds doubly true when you rewatch cut scenes at the inn because you're not in a party when you do so and it would make the scenes awkward to watch when characters talk about your party and yet your party is not showing up in the replayed scenes.

TL;DR, it's a game. Roll with it.

lol doesn't matter if it's an mmo or not. even just making use of the coliseum that's already in the game would be SOMETHING. you promote lazyness and i wish they would stop being lazy and get creative. same with all the fetch quest. they can't seem to do anything that's not a fetch quest. even after "you've saved the realm" you're still nothing but an errand boy. at least it made sense at first, during hildebrand and some what for the mog mail quest but not for every quest. but it's the mmo(actually rpg) standard so it's fine for people that have a very low bar. SE could be creative, they could make lots of money instead of being lazy and getting themselves into financial trouble for a few years.

That's it, Doom has been called upon SE because they're lazy

Seriously, it's a MMO game. And even at that, thanks to the new generation of players, it fails in the Massive category in many ways (can't blame them for that, it's generational, but still meh). You do not want it to be even worse. Not if you care about what it means to play a MMO game.


Also, yeah. Good idea, solo a primal. Get real man. It would just rip you off and laugh for the day. You may be a warrior of light, but in the end you're just a mere human resisting the tempering. You're not magically better than any other people around you. sorry to burst your bubble.

omg .. right "company leves"...

i think he means more something like Maat fights in FFXI..... a boss solo fight.

Food and items have been very important there.. but in FF11 food could have much stronger effects than in FF14
