Normal (newbie) version of the new Ultima fight for casuals? xD

Oh definitely understand where you are coming from, but I just can't see it staying as synced content forever. I mean eventually players will be able to unsync the Omega Savage raids to unlock these Ultimate duties anyway so the requirement for actually unlocking them means already there isn't much sense of accomplishment don't you think?

Considering how well the ultimate duties are being received I could only guess we'll regularly get more in the future to satisfy hardcore raiders. And besides, the new expacs may bring further combat changes which could make previous raids somewhat easier in some degree so who knows.

I think the real issues are twofold:

1: Look at Lv60 Machinist. If Lv80 breaks some jobs like for 70 like 70 did to 60, then synched down the fights just won't even be possible in a lot of comps.

2: Because of the way synch works, which I wish it didn't, when you synch from any iLv to any iLv all of your materia gets nulled. This used to not be a big issue because even g5 materia only gave minimal substat increases; now we're looking at people losing almost literally thousands of substat unless they make ultima specific gearsets out of sometimes obscure and stupid to get gear.

I hope they rework synch rules so that materia doesn't get nulled out, and I hope that the challenge remains intact whatever they do in the future.
