the fight is fine in my opinion even thou i got killed by ifrit alot when we tried it.

it slices, it dices, it makes julienne kittens °-°

i like a good challenge and it is pretty exciteing to fight him ^~^
even if my tail is burned to a crisp by now im going back for more

great items should always require great effort in an MMO or else why even bother?
and the people who beat him have every right to be proud of their treasures and to display them if they wish to.
