Final fight too hard?

[Ruisu]

You mean like... Yu Yevon?

Safer Sephiroth, Neo Ex-death, Necron, Braska's Final Aeon, The Undying, Cloud of Darkness, Chaos, etc.

The bosses in the series aren't really difficult.

Also, after spending seventeen fucking hours of my life just zombie-running that fight. From 6pm, to 11am. I spent just doing this stupid fight. And it felt good. I hated every second of the fight, yet it was a glorious fight. I want more fights like this.

If you having Nael problems I feel bad for you son

server lag doesn't effect this fight... everything's easily predictable after you've seen it happen and understand what's going on, you're even given enough time to react to it all despite any server lag...

Your friends don't deserve 2.0. Peace.

Talking badly of CoP is blasphemy!
Epic monumental fail of which no words can describe.

This is why I put my faith in Japanese game developers and Square Enix.
Not interested in companies that cater to and promote an idiocracy of gamers.

Huh. Somebody's in for a rude awakening.

A lot of friends who are casuals came back to complete the storyline. After dealing with spending 10-30min just trying to enter a fight and wiping 10+ times to AOEs most have just left again. A couple have basically said they don't even want to try 2.0 because it will just be the same problems with a new world.

While I do think that this is an awesome fight, for the population FFXIV has (60% only return at patches for a week, 20% full time casual 10% semi-hardcore and 10% hardcore, this fight seems pretty imbalanced.

In 2.0 I would understand fights being designed for hardcores or semi-hardcores. But for the ending of FFXIV which is supposed to let people finish up a story so they can transition to 2.0, this fight seems like its too much of a hassle.

That combined with "unable to proceed due to server congestion" is probably driving a lot of people away.

It also doesn't help that you get the same server lag as with ifrit, which is different for every individual. For example, the first few times i did the fight i got slammed with the beam attack even though i was behind the guy on my screen. I had to watch the minimap and move before he even appeared to avoid it.

Honestly I think that SE should just easy-mode the fight (cut difficulty by 50%?) so that people returning for a few days can finish up the storyline (even if they suck or only have af). If not, it will just make people more weary about 2.0.

so people that have been gone for a while (rusty) come back wipe 10 times and say to hard?

Haven't you heard? The victory should have been handed to them on a silver platter so it makes them want to play more. It's all about subscriptions yo! Screw the fun!

oh man could you imagine the bitching if they added the original diffuclty of CoP to this game if people asking to make fighting
Legatus of the VIIth Legion, The White Raven Nael van Darnus easier. IMO he should be so much harder than he is for a guy who during the fight proves he can rape you if he really wanted for 9999. But also applauds you when you beat a primal hes is a villain that should live through the times of XIV.

lol easy boss fights. isnt that what WoW is for?

god i cant stand reading the hot topics anymore.. theres nothing productive, its not constructive criticism,

its a bunch of players who always say "gimme gimme gimme"
sorry


wait i have an idea! i did this in XI too when i wanted to COMPLETE the story but couldnt. i let the hardcore players do the battles, and i watched the videos on youtube! if they dont like that, well, then maybe they should play the game to do it themselves. if they dont like it. well then maybe they should find a different story to read
