Ifrit Fight

[viion]

How can you tell something is non-responsive from a video? Was there a video within the video of a person hammering away at a keyboard and their abilities not going off?

The archer (the only PoV we got) was leaving most of his abilities left untouched for some unknown reason. Probably because he was more focused with getting a video of the fight. Also people having so much HP might be from the attribute reallocation, or it might just be for the purpose of taking the video.

Wouldnt be a good video if they amped the HP just to shoot the Video, because if so, why have them get killed at all? or 1shotted? Or show damage if its pointlessly out of context, would show false balancing, could mean fight is stupidly easy.

Doubtful, its probably all correct but yes they most likely was not spamming because theres no point.

The archer was waiting for his skill cooldown to finish. Then due to Ifrit jumping around after the archer boosts up he losts target several times and runs like a headless chicken. Another reason is we watch a thm do Raise. Most slowlest and boring skill (as no animation) there is. Then the archer is just standing around haha and then the thm targets and gets 1shotted XD

Not the best way to show it but you are all focusing on ifrit anyway.

Impressive. I can't wait to fight him.

Can someone who can translate Japanese have a look at the text from the Garleans at 1:37 and 2:00 (right before he first he beam)?

It is a preview of Ifrit not the group that is fighting them. They didn't say:

"Here is a video of Ifrit and be sure to pay attention this great new slowed down/unresponsive battle system we decided to surprise you all with! This is how you should all play after 1.19, we put together this crack team of players to demonstrate how everyone will be playing FFXIV from now on!!

Oh and this is also our secret way of announcing that everyone will have at least 2,000 HP from here on out."

So until we get the patch notes or the patch I don't think this is confirmation of anything. They could have upped HP because they wanted to control when people died (and maybe the people were dieing to early), they had the group die in the video (like in the Darkhold preview) because they generally save the ending for the players.

1:37
when the 6th sun / fades / and the seventh moon / glows
out of the clouds / red fire falls / out of the underworld / a black chasm opens
(isn't that part of Thancret's poem?)

2:00
Unimportant Boss-babbling. Translated: I wonder how miserable you all will look in the face of the light of judgement. I hope you will at least prove a worthy diversion for me.

Hmm... so that has me wondering if the Ifrit fight is a 2 phase fight.... where you go in to attack Ifrit and then the Empire comes in and trys to take over and doesn't matter who is in the way and Ifrit get's away and in anger Darnus turns his attention onto us the players.... would be interesting...

Edit: Or we go to Ifrit to talk to him, Darnus shows up attacks Ifrit in the middle of our conversation, and ifrit takes us into his realm and thinking we betrayed him to the Empire attacks us.

Possible reasons for the extra HP

Materia + Removal of physical levels + new gear with HP bonuses + (gamemaster power?)

I didn't know Ifrit could look so damn badass.

Also, nice to finally see some completely legit spell effects. (´～` )b

They dont need to say it, that is just what happens, its happened in them all, they didnt amp the HP/MP in all their previous videos, why would this be any different. People do take notice of this, it would be a stupid move of SE to fool us especially when that exact feature (Stats) is the biggest update to the game thats been required in a long time. It would be one big troll.

Stop being in denial.
