Idea: Make boss fights that utilizes Limit Break more!

[Starlord]

"All" Boss fights have a "basically" 1 LB per Final Boss ( or even other bosses within a run.) Like some fights Take longer to kill so we could execute LBs 2-3 times per boss. I know LB's are meant to be like a "Finisher" but I feel like LB isn't used as often as it should be.

Just an idea. :P

Maybe you should try A3S.

Even in dungeons there are plenty of times LB can be helpful. People just don't use it.

Hell, sometimes people even get defensive about it. I pointed out in a DV that caster lb is pretty good on the last phase of the 2nd boss and caught all sorts of hell for it. You'd have thought I suggested the guy should kill his parents or something.

Using as a finisher is what it's turned into, but that's usually pretty wasteful, actually.

Well I meant in a "single boss" not used multiple times in a run. I mean you can only LB3 on a final boss to it's not like you get to see your special LB often at all. Sadly, it has turned into a finisher move if anything, sometimes it's not used at all because people feel like it makes the fight easier. Make fights feel like LBing is worthwhile, meaning the LB is the deciding factor between a wipe and victory.

It's just a little nitpicky thing.

I don't really like fights that require you to LB at specific points, especially tank Lb. The LB generation is just too unreliable and even worse if you have 2 of the same class.

[Ultimatecalibur]

Tank lbs are only useful when facing attacks that hit most or all of the party for enough damage that it would kill party members from full/near full unless they get the -10%/20%/-50%.

The Healer lb3 is only useful when an attack has just killed multiple party members. Healer lb1 and lb2 do little that can not be covered by their normal AoE healing abilities and MP recovery is pretty much a waste of a limit break.

It is best to use the melee DpS lb when it is full unless the boss has a mechanic that can be skipped with proper use of the lb (such as the last boss of Brayflox HM).

The caster and ranged lbs are most useful when you have at least 2 targets that need to be damaged.

I think this is a negative of the system, not a positive. Maybe change LB system so we can chose to use 1, 2, or 3 bar instead of the all or none approach?

Then won't people use a LV1 LB at the last boss and then build up to LV3 and use that too? Why would you want to use a weaker LB when you got a stronger one ready?

I would like if the required you to LB more often at specific points.
All they need to do is utilize LB generating mechanics like Ifrit's nails or Cloud of Darkness's Dark Clouds.

With those mechanics, you can have zero LB and build to level 3 just by killing the adds.
Stuff like that can incorporate the LB usage into the fight which I think would make it more of an interesting fight mechanic.
It would also allow the tank LB to be used more, since you can guarantee it right before the big hit.

As it stands, the tank LB just never gets used.
I think all the LBs should get used more. The fights just need to auto-fill them so that fights are designed around it.

LB aren't a finisher, they are an uh oh button for the most part but in dungeons yea they are a finisher.

Mages/Range help to clear adds
Melee single target heavy damage(Pretty much used exclusively when in a smooth party)
Healer lv 3(Last chance button if people have fallen but there is still hope to win)
Tank lv 3(If everyone is still up allows for all to take reduced damage and offer a slight pause for healers to catch their breath/recover MP)

Overall that's what LB are designed for, to make them a part of the battle design would only hurt the game because you are forcing people to have to build it up just to survive, if it gets wasted then you're boned, that's not very fun.
