1 ultimate instead of 2 ?

[Istaru]

I say go for it, but on one condition...

It rewards nothing. No gear, no mounts, no titles, no achievements, nothing at all.

i'd rather have 0 ultimates

it's just a waste of resources just to please 1% of the playerbase

You couldn't be more further incorrect, it's JP that loves ultimate more than NA/EU.

I don't do Ultimate but I would have liked it more if it was one unique boss instead of just three bosses that you kill one after another.

Dragonsong War was supposed to be 5.5. I hope they do 3 this expansion to "catch up", but somehow I doubt it.

UCoB-> Ultima - 8 months between releases
Ultima -> Tea - 17 months
Tea -> Dragonsong War - 27 months atm, still 2-3 months, if it is really 6.1

I guess you can be happy if you get 1 ultimate per addon at this rate. I doubt they work already on omega ultimate before they havent finished this next one, so you can add minimum another year, which brings you into the last patchcycle before new addon, when they are trying to finish the addon.

Better to have 2 unique fights than 1 you have to spend 15+ minutes reprogging in to get to where you wiped at
long ass fights are just annoying, the current ultimate times are fine

Thats the point

Its supposed to get harder, become more prestigious

Exhaustion is not difficulty.

[Nestama]

It will be way harder, and less clears, so it will be more prestigious to have achieve a 24mn-27mn lenght ultimate fight

Time doesn't make the fight hard, though. That's what the mechanics are made for.
Making the fight last 30 minutes forces everyone to make sure they will not be interrupted by IRL stuff (such as suddenly needing to go to the bathroom, or your child needs you for something while you're 24 minutes into the fight, etc). All Ultimate needs is difficult/tricky mechanics.

Reduce crafting to a 1 button click then.

Oh wait... Macros lmao

nice try getting likes on front page.

Its going to be real interesting to watch where Materia slots into this next time the graph is worked out

a 30 minute fight sounds miserable on so many levels. making the fight significantly longer would make it more difficult to clear but it'd be a pretty artificial difficult imo. frustrating more than anything else.

i feel like it'd be harder to design a 30 minute fight that is both exciting and engaging for its entire duration, both to prog and just to reclear. the length of the current ultimate fights is a good balance imo. a 15-17 minute ultimate fight is already an endurance test. 30 minutes sounds absolutely miserable.
