Roleplay Solo Dungeons - Can we just stop Square?

[Thi]

Really tired of these gimmick solo dungeons playing as another character every patch. The newest one isn't as bad as previous ones in terms of design, but it still was boring and unfulfilling. Everything done in it could have just been shown as a cutscene, or not really at all because it honestly had very little story value.

I don't want to play as story character #238. I want to play as my character.

I think it would be nice if they were optional and could be replaced by cutscenes. Alternatively, having more skills available could make them more fun. All I did in the last one was run in a circle pressing 2 buttons.

I like them, they're few and far between and make whatever is going on stand out more than if you just watched it in a cutscene. You play as your character 95% of the time. You can handle being someone else for a little while.

I mean, that's the point of the echo...

I like it opens up the story bit and doesnt make it just about you and only you
I really enjoyed the past few only one that was boring was Hien

I usually hate them, but I actually really enjoyed the one for this series of quest. The music was great and the abilites were flashy so it wasn't as painful as using Y'shtola's gimped white mage or Hien's gimped samurai.

It depends on the character I am playing and how long the sequence is. The one in patch 5.1 was perfect, but Thancred vs. Ranjit was seriously the worst part of Shadowbringers.

I'm currently stuck on the final boss in the 5.1 scenario in very easy mode. I even mapped keys to the pet bar, avoided all the visible AOE's, used the 3K attack most of the time (#1), and the AOE attacks when the adds appear. I get him down to about 20%, and then the damage to him stops, but it increases on my character, and I die every time. Can't complete it, can't skip it. so I'm pretty much done with the MSQ.

I'm missing some kind of trick, so if anyone know it, please fill me in.

You need to use the limit break once it gets the damage invun.

Hmm, I didn't see a limit break. The scale bar is present, but no button for it. I'll make my 15th run and check again.

Edit: Several more attempts, Keep dying before I get to the phase where LB (button 5?) is usable. I think I'll wait until someone does an instruction video, or they nerf it. Totally impossible for me right now.

This is something we do not share my dear. I fricking enjoyed the hell out of it. Regarding Duns/instances, it beats the Mass Pull 1/2/3 AoE that we've been doing for god knows how long ? and adds a more interactive aspect to the enjoyable story which is always a plus. Feels good to deviate from my character a bit...my same...sexy...character...

You outta your GD mind lol.
