Yay mount themes are here!

And eh, I said just last page I don't mind too much if they nerf it a bit, probably will still need follow the mechanics anyways to actually kill Vishap before he reaches final barrier.

Full patchnote:

The strength of the Echo granted in the Final Coil of Bahamut has been increased.
The echo will take effect upon entering the Final Coil of Bahamut, increasing players' maximum HP, damage dealt, and healing magic potency by 15%.
* Unlike other instances, the strength of the Echo will not increase upon total party incapacitation.

The Steps of Faith has been adjusted as follows:
Vishap's maximum HP has been reduced.
The maximum HP of all enemies that spawn has been reduced.
Damage dealt by certain enemies has been reduced.
Damage dealt by Vishap's underfoot attack has been reduced.
Damage dealt by Bertha cannons upon exploding has been reduced.

System
The music played when riding the following mounts has been changed:
Sleipnir / Aithon / Xanthos / Gullfaxi / Enbarr / Markab / Boreas

Man, I wanted to spend my monday night off playing with my wood. I mean, wooden arrows. You know. And wooden bow.

...

I finally became a Black Mage, woo-hoo, and now I want to be a Bard.

...

I just wanted to make a light-hearted post in the wake of all the madness.

Steps of Faith will probably become a face on keyboard steamroll now lmao.

The mount themes actually make me want to get all of the mounts–that and learning that they would fly in 3.X

I would have been a smart alleck and reduced the HP of Vishap by 1hp along with the HP of his minions. I think that would be funny

Babysteps Of Faith

I hear in 2.58, they'll send a Japanese kid to your house to play the game for you. Please look forward to it.

So SoF is now a little easier, more people will clear and be able to enter Ishgard making for better grouping up for activites and events. How is this a bad thing? As someone has said you will no doubt still have to follow the mechanics of the fight, IMO I'd say the only change is there will be less deaths and faster kills (Vishap included).

Funny thing is, I doubt this will solve people abandoning the duty instantly.

People leave Steps because it is a fairly long trial with very little reward. Unless they've knocked 50% of his HP off I can't see anything changing... People who fail Dragon Killers/etc. are still going to fail, the only difference I can see this making is that they'll get him to 20% rather than failing with him at 60%...

To be honest, I don't particularly mind the nerf, though that depends on how much HP Vishap has now. Lower HP on adds and lower damage? Meh, that just makes things a tad more forgiving.

If the mechanics are still in place, then I'm fine with this. If you still have to get on the cannons and fire the Dragon Killer to win, I have no problem with this. If it is instead what Garuda (Hard) effectively is now days, then I have an issue with it.

Like I said earlier though, the issue is the rewards. People who are leaving are leaving because it is a long trial with minimal rewards and success is dependent on mechanics. Unless this nerf has crippled Vishap so much that the mechanics can be ignored, I don't see anything changing. The rewards should be comparable to Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium in my opinion, with that I'd be happy to help random players out with a trial that I actually enjoy doing (when it's done right). I helped a friend with this yesterday, think I got 15 Sol? Utterly pathetic.

This one right?

I'm bit sad actually... Since last week I've been trying to met the requirement to enter the FCoB turn 4, but I'm too busy with my work and RL issue. Hoping that I can beat it before Echo, such unfortunate being a newbies I think, left behind in everything.
