If someone makes a deadly boss mods type addon for ARR would you use it?

[b]wasn't FFXI full of fights that were actually impossible?

I'd like to hear about said impossible fights. Odin in the wild aside.

So let me get a this straight... basically an addon that plays the game for you? Not really interested in that kind of thing >_>

Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden, while not impossible, were ridiculous fights that defied all common combat logic in FFXI. People for months tried to think of ways to kill AV without cheesing him (Ebon Panels.... wait, can we throw the ebon panels at it?!?!?!). SE later released a cryptic video that really didn't explain that a Player using a 2hr would lock the mobs 2hr (a behavior that occurs NOWHERE ELSE in combat, go Tanaka!). Sadly I left before Pandemonium Warden came out, but yeah, he was silly too. There's a difference between an impossible fight though (Cthun pre "nerf" patch) and one that requires you to do some mental calculus to figure out (AV... maybe if we started singing kumbaya, he'll shower us with loot!).

Also <3 the photo.

And no. An addon like DBM will tell you when you're standing in fire (huge audio and visual clues, helpful for lower end comps that can't run full effects), when you're standing too close to another player (eyeballing 15 yard distances from other players when there's a boss move that will chain damage from players that are too close), or when a certain high priority add pops (that must be killed asap. Think the guard for princess in CC) that needs to be burned down.

The addon won't automate your gameplay, you'll still have to manually do all the stuff. However, it'll make certain things in combat, such as warnings/spawns/abilities, much more apparent and help you stay focused.

People who will use everything they can to prevent failures will use it.

Thats... actually a lot of people.

Quote for truth.

WE...NEED... MORE... AVs... IN... FINAL FANTASY!

Absolutely not Virtually impossible to beat, AV wasn't intended to be a beatable monster. How do you destroy a "Destroyer" of the world?

Anti-3rd party tool NMs... Go Tanaka!!

its an addon that helps people do a boss because I know you nay sayers are the ones who probably suck up raids and dungeons which make them last more then 40 minutes... I'm for it because you could set it up pretty well so even older gamers and people who find it hard to do content don't have to remember every little detail about every little fight... the thing about people who only play FFXI and FFXIV is that they are mostly closed minded to anything "WoW" or any other concept in an MMO so when you try to commit to a change they start crying because they are afraid of it o_o

seriously stop QQing if it makes MY LIFE easier for not having to put up with fail groups then its a god damned good thing...

[Aion]

Ill take anything better than chat/battle log....

I hope the add on is aesthetically good

We need more adult videos in Final Fantasy? What Final Fantasy are you playing? 0.o;

The more information I have, the better. I recall switching walls off back in FFXI. Made Nyzul Isle much more enjoyable. Some may call this cheating, but if it makes me a better player, so be it.
