"Steps of Faith" Extreme please

[Spiritreaver1217]

It was hard enough to get a party to do the normal one. They were forced to nerf the fight into obscurity because people would land Steps in their roulette and ditch it immediately.

What makes you think an Extreme mode would draw a crowd?

Oh i'm sure there are ppl that would do it. BUT for all the calls for a challenge, after a small initial surge, SoF EX would quickly become a ghost town unless SE gave it an actual reward that was comparable to the upped difficulty-beyond bragging rights on an internet gaming forum.

And seriously, does anyone REALLY think SE would even bother at this point investing more time into a piece of filler/bridging content that initially flopped? And it did flop, whatever reason you want to give for that failure.

I'm sure you were just being facetious, but all the Ex battles do have tangible rewards of some kind so I don't know what you think would be different this time around.

Perhaps dungeon like Step of Faith or any dungeon which didn't give item reward never get the extreme version

There are a couple hard mode fights that don't give rewards that have Ex versions that do.

No i was being dead serious. It is blatant assumption that SE would treat an EX version of SoF like an ex-primal fight. Or that a harder difficulty version of SoF would even be called SoF EX for that matter-i just tacked the EX on to distinguish it from the actual and presently only version of that fight available-which you just didn't seems to get.

My assertion stands though, without a reward equal to the amount of effort the 'Un-named Hypothetical Steps of Faith Fight-Harder Difficulty Version' will turn into a ghost town after the initial surge.

When there is already a precedent for it with Ultima, I don't think it is TBH. There's very little reason why they couldn't sit the Wandering Minstrel down in a bar in Ishgard and have him dramatically recount the tale of how we took on Vishap, and throw in some rewards relevant to 3.0s iLv. Not really sure what they could even do with Steps of Faith though.

I'd rather them just put resources towards new fights. SoF was really kind of boring to be honest.

Yep. The fight was not mechanically hard or even that interesting. It was a nice change of pace, but I don't really see what direction they could take it in for an EX rematch.

Then put simply. Considering EVERY ex fight so far has tangible rewards why do you even think this is an assertion worth making? It's unsupported by every precedent made concerning Ex fights so far. Obviously it would have tangible rewards.

You carry on without me since you are so hung up on wording. I felt like posting it and for someone not looking to pick a fight, it is probably fairly easy to get my meaning. For some reason you took umbrage or w/e over, well meh.
