Lack of End Game Content

[HyoMinPark]

They added Ultimate bosses - and you're right, I didn't do them as I was unsubscribed (as per your suggestion). I've already stated that finding a group now to do Ultimate would be pointless if not almost impossible. It's dated synced content that nobody is interested in doing, without a full kit and with no reward that reflects the current challenge. To even attempt to suggest it as current end game is laughable.

Sorry, dude, but you are wrong. Ultimate is not outdated content. They are never outdated—they are always relevant because the developers specifically kept the syncs to preserve the challenge of the content. Yoshida literally said this in an interview not too long before Shadowbringers dropped when an interviewer asked him about unsyncing them. He wanted to preserve the challenge and the prestige that went along with clearing them.

No reward? Your reward is a weapon and a title for a piece of content that not even 1% of the playerbase has cleared. That is your reward. And it is an achievement that is never invalidated because people cannot faceroll the content with unsync like they can everything else. It is always challenging.

Jobs not having a full kit? This isn’t like it’s syncing you down to level 50 where you have a handful of skills. You have most of your kit. Shadowbringers did not add much that dramatically changes gameplay for most jobs from level 70 to level 80.

No one is interested in doing it? I’m in an Aether-based Discord for Ultimates and I still get pings for reclears and prog groups. With Savage releasing soon, sure—most raiders will be taking a break from Ultimate to focus on the tier. But what are they going to do after they get Savage out of the way? Probably go back into it for:

—Clears, with regards to those who did not get their clear before the expansion dropped (my static has already discussed going into UCoB to get clears for 3 of our members)
—Reclears, with regards to those who want more weapons or a parse or whatever (I plan on getting some more UwU reclears because I want more weapons and I want a clear on DNC)

This content isn’t dead content.


You’re claiming that this game lacks endgame content. Ultimate is endgame content. Your issue seems to be purely with “it’s not level 80, so that means it’s not endgame”. I can guarantee you that the Ultimate fights are more challenging than the tier that is about to release in two days. This isn’t meant to insult the new tier—but Savage is a step below Ultimate, and it always will be. Even “old, synced” Ultimates.


EDIT: I’m in agreement with ForteNightshade that these statements about Ultimate discredits your thread about this game lacking endgame content. Almost as much as your claim that you were BiS on jobs—

Hi Ibkee.

Good question - I have best in slot for Caster/Healer/Tank. (Tomes/Immiculate/King Gear)

I'm sitting on 50+ totems for both extremes.

—when your GNB still has the i430 weathered weapon equipped according to your Lodestone, and a couple accessories from the expert dungeons (Earrings and Bracelet). If you were BiS, you’d have a Titania weapon and Innocence accessories with one Goetia ring. So, hey, lookie there! You have more to do still, it seems!

Level 70 or no, Ultimate will be more difficult than any endgame content level 80 can offer until the level 80 Ultimates release.
