The Ifrit Fight is Dangerous to the Community.

[DoctorMog]

You know, it's actually just a copy-paste, parameter-adjustment operation to actually readjust the Ifrit fight for at least one lower difficulty setting.

Here!

Ifrit Boss Battle - "Nerfed Hyper"
HP: Same as Original Hyper
Defense: Same as Original Hyper
Behaviors: Same as Original Hyper
Attack Power: -5%
Everything Else: Same as Original Hyper

So essentially all you would need to do is create the code to introduce the option for the lower level fight, which can be surprisingly simple if the game's codebase isn't too complex. All it would consist of is the following:

1) Dialog Box prior to entering Bowl of Embers for offering Difficulty Choice.
2) ONE STAT reduced on Ifrit, and assign it a unique NPC id.
3) When weaker option is chosen, spawns the "nerfed" Ifrit instead of normal Hyper Ifrit.

Apart from bugtesting, the changes are not that deep. It would take one day at the least of dedicated work by ONE programmer to implement such a change, and a week to a month of required function testing by ONE tester to ensure that it didn't f*ck up anything else in the codebase.



P.S. If a certain someone took the time to research my character data...

Why though?

Seriously.

Why?

Haven't you been listening? Because he doesn't want to work at it!

[DoctorMog]

Ive been listening, but he hasn't said it. He just keeps saying what he wants done, but not


WHY.

there's really no reason that there can't be a compromise between suggestions but SE shouldn't/wont have to compromise with a small % of people who think things are too hard. they are the ones who have to design the game and put work into it and ultimately they are the ones who will say yes or no. Yoshida stated that primals (right now) are the end all be all endgame content and are supposed to be difficult (lol) to the playerbase.

This thread has run it's course and we wont be seeing multiple variations of the fights, aside from R25/50. Just let it die please.

If the suggestion can't be applied to the R50 Primal fights, then at the very least, can we please apply it to the instanced content? Like Dzemael Darkhold?

I am seriously sick of the various elements of Dzemael's design pressuring me so much that it makes everybody in my party hate me. Yes, my antics get THAT bad when I'm stressed!

It doesn't help that everybody on Besaid loves to take everything I say the wrong way.

I'm not worried and sweat it because this changes ain't gonna happen, it's basically OP (and probably very small minority) vs everyone else.

This game was advertised to cater for casual players, not bad players.

I hate to say it, but the problem seems to be you, not the game.

DZM is already irrelevant unless you're new. Ifrit will be irrelevant in 1.20 unless you're new. Moogle will be irrelevant in 1.21 unless you're new. EVERY RAID will be irrelevant after 2.0.

SE doesn't need to put in extra time/cost/manpower to cater to the 1%

i'm sorry Ren, I REALLY am. it just isn't going to happen.

To me, Dzemael is still relevant.

Should it be discounted just because it's a minority opinion? Sensible people would say no.

Plus, there is an argument to be had about whether or not Yoshi-P should account for this sort of thing in the design and implementation of new content in 2.0.

Considered, but not acted on. Like 90% of what goes on in this forum.
