Thread: Patch 3.4 - Soul Surrender

Hmm... I was thinking more along the lines of Derplander being involved... Doesn't seem too unlikely that he could temporarily weaken us, the Echo pretty much took us out of the fight with him when we first met and that didn't take long to recover from...

Now that I think about it... Are the Scions joining us for these? Alphinaud appeared to be around where I assume Derplander just took on Ifrit... Then again, plenty of people joined us to see Leviathan being summoned and the fact that tempering is a thing didn't really matter...

I see it more as a diversion... Obviously we can defeat Titan, given we have... Three times now? So rather than having us fight Titan in a regular battle, he has us fight him in a different manner... That way Derplander can leave us to that fight while he moves onto his next Primal...

IDK, there are probably other ways to make the fight "artistic" that I'm just not thinking of... Turn 9 is the best I can think of this late... Not sure how something like that would translate against a Primal without something similar to what we saw with Bahamut Prime...

It presumably has to be a solo fight though, right? They can have NPCs kicking around during cutscenes, but this whole notion of tempering being a problem is going to go right out the window if Y'shtola and Thancred are helping us take down Titan... Perhaps it'll just be "artistic" in that we'll have Kobold allies, if Titan truly is rampaging against them now... Although if he is rampaging... Tempering has gone anyway... He'd be killing Kobold that are presumably tempered already...
