Ifrit Fight

[ydp002]

Its just to see how hard the fight will be...

Ifrit will be cleared a couple hours into patch day. Just like DH was. /thread

I've already seen the rank quest, and the only "battle" you do with Ifrit is one with words. The fact that you can fight Ifrit at rank 30 and 50 is in direct conflict with the main quest. Obviously there's information missing regarding this whole thing, but unless this is a sign of a story revamp(don't know how they'll pull it off if it is), the "main story", and thus the main conflict and one of the pillars of the game, is being turned into a disjointed placeholder.

Probably has to do with the poem Yoshi mentioned in a previous letter, as well as the Archanists in the game, notice the moon is eclipsed.

That's a pretty crappy way of indicating difficulty.

AMAZING !

If the rest of the update is as...awesome... as that video looks to be, then I think I just fell in love with SE again. =x

(Also, anyone else notice the 1 second cooldown for Light Shot on that Archer? *hope*)

I think that may have something to do with materia maybe. There may be some materia that radically decreases your 'basic attack' cooldown.

If so, Pugilist is gonna rawk, especially if I can add some +evasion materia too!

Looks great! Just watched it again.

I'm quite sure he's going to leave some parties laying on the dirt a few times before people figure him out. And maybe after - all that moving around can be really tough. Sometimes you just have to miss re-targeting the mob one time for the fight to get out of control...

[Kiroh]

AMAZING !

Damn it, now I don't wanna wait until next week...

Seriously though, the battle mechanics look so much improved in 1.19 that it's not even comparable. I'm pretty eager to see if this is the update that'll draw me back into Eorzea.

I really hope the cs's are something that can be done at the leisure of the player. would hate to have to rush through them and miss out on story elements.

Nope still two seconds and change.

On one hand, I hope so; on the other, you're talking about what would be the most powerful materia possible... would tremendously raise the DPS of certain classes. And Marauder would be crazy with this!!
