ffxiv royal menagerie trial Normal

[Nalfein]

Please keep the fight as it is. It's actually a very fun fight and you can do it too if you try more, as people suggested you could make friends or ask ppl advises some even offered to help you. Don't give up so easily, the final boss of an expansion has to be this way. As people's ilvl increase the fight will be easier naturally maybe you just need more time and practice.

If you can just punch the final boss's face in, it would not feel very rewarding, now would it?

I see your point and agree with it.
However... Now that I think about it, it would have felt very satisfying if the Zenos fight would have been a solo duty where we pretty much beat him to pulp. I mean, warrior of light, slayer of primals and dragons, gets beaten multiple times by a pompous long-haired dude. That final payback @lvl 70 would have been epic if we could have just given him the Hulk meets Loki -treatment.

Please lower the difficulty of the ffxiv royal menagerie trial. I spent over 12 hours non stop with several parties of all kinda trying to clear this content however its simply Impossible to beat unless I spent Millions in Gil to buy a clear from people who managed to beat it. This game has been a great thing to bring people together and have fun but this latest trial fight has made the game impossible to play I even tried beating it with the 140+ member FC I am part of and simply It just cannot be beaten even with understanding of all the mechanics of the fight he deals far too much damage repeatedly. Please Lower this difficulty or make trials like this completely optional and no longer part of the story line as its ruining a game I have played since 1.0

It doesn't need to be nerfed. Once you know what's going on the fight's not hard. Like most fights, it's a dance. "He deals far too much damage". Sounds like you need better healers to be honest. I'd honestly say it was stressful my first and second time as a healer, but now that I know what's going on it's not hard. It just requires you to actually pay attention.

Please please I know there is an answer to this. Have a take my money sub option where they pay money dont play the game.

Something I noticed is people go into this trial without having done their level 70 job quests. Not only are these people missing parts of their kit that could really help in that fight (PLD's wings which negate damage, BLM's Foul which works like a charm during the adds phase, to name two examples), but are very likely effectively under-geared as chances are they didn't get a full set of 300 pieces out of Ala Mhigo after that one MSQ run, and on top of that are missing the 290 gear from the job quests.

Here's what I suggest - raise the ilvl requirement. Not a lot, just enough so that people won't be able to access this trial without getting those 290 pieces from the job quest, which also guarantees they'll have those extra skills. Or outright lock that fight behind a requirement that you did the level 70 job quest for the job you're queueing as. Because I think, it might be just me, but I think this fight may have been balanced with those skills in mind.

The max you can be is like 285 with the 290 pieces with the lv68 pieces as well.

Which is why I ninja-edited my post to lock the trial behind the level 70 job quests, which in hindsight is a better idea.

[Revanslave]

I'll be honest, I only tried 5 times with a random group and we wiped every time but we got closer each time until we got locked out. Like people said above, it's just paying attention and learning the fight. It is hard, but it is very doable. I know it's hard to do it with random groups because a lot of them don't know the fight or simply can't react fast enough but a pf group may be more willing to stick it out until you get it.

Guy posts this 4 days ago with a complaint about a fight.

Doesn't come back for four days whatsoever to reply.

Methinks I smell trollbait and people are biting hard.

Just don't bother replying beyond my reply and let this bad attempt at baiting people to argue about nerf/non nerf die.

Fight is fine. It's a test to make you pay attention. Get to it.
