Ascian Prime EX

[MihaelB]

Thought the fights were rather interesting and they feel very minor at the moment, could agree with EX

[xXRaineXx]

Is it just me (maybe it's me being asian) that everytime I hear Ascian, I hear Asian. It's like western people talking about how Asians are so smart lelz

Maybe it's just me, I just always found this amusing ;P

Yes Please! The game could use some more 3.0 Primal Ex fights.

[Toguro]

People.. are actually starting to say yes.....

Depends, do we have to give up a new primal like we did with ThordanEX? If the answer is yes, then no, I'd rather have a new primal. If it's alongside a new primal, then more content is always great.

Did they say they had to give up a new Primal fight for ThordanEX? This is the first time I'm hearing that (and its not like they had to do that for Ultima's Bane)

Throw in Nabrialas to surprise us that its a bit more then just a straight up harder version of the fight and I'm in for Ascian EX.

I like Ascians.

More Ascians are always good. No exceptions.

Therefore I support the OP.

We've had a new primal every patch since 2.0, and with 3.1 we didn't get one. I think it's safe to assume that this mechanically complex fight took the development time out of those, but regardless Yoshida did mention that this was replacement for the EX fight, or rather is the EX fight of this patch, and future EX fights won't be like this.

Yoshida: We've said this before, but the battle was intended to sit between the normal and savage versions of Alexander Gordias. This one in particular was designed as a challenge for players who are working on the third area of savage to give them another near-term goal and prevent them from getting bored by giving them a new Knight weapon which they can use to keep pushing in the third part of savage. So, based on that, this is kind of a unique difficulty. For the next extreme primal we'll probably scale back the level of difficult

[ruskie]

Yes please. But make the dungeon itself be a small light or maybe even a full party raid as well.

[Dualblade]

snip.

Alright, makes sense. Though now I'm wondering what the next primal will be. We've covered quite a few of the major ones already, and Ravana has also show they have a willingness to make ones that would specifially be for FFXIV. Outside of the Warring Triad there doesn't seem to be many Primals to go with right now (unless they do start going with the Ivalice line.)
