Rage over Sophia

[Colt47]

The problem has nothing to do with the wiping or the primal. The problem is that SE gave two equally crappy ways to have to get your next weapon in the line up. You either hoof it through Soph or grind your life away in PoTD. The real lesson to be learned here is that end game gear grinds are abominations.

Sorry but atm 3 full runs of PoTD is normally what you need to get 235 weapon... I wouldnt consider that an "abomination".

Uhm...I'm pretty sure he's referring to the i255 step that's going to come out eventually - i235 isn't exactly "the next weapon in the line up", nor is it comparable to SophEx weapons. And I'm pretty sure they will be rather grindy, just as the i235 step was before the dozens of nerfs. I remember needing 9 full runs for the i235 weapon at the time and that's with disconnecting after the last boss several times in order to maximize chests in 41-50 >_>

I thought they had another level of weapon put in? I might be wrong, as the 235 isn't bad.

The new potd weapon isn't out yet and no one knows how long it will take to get it.

Um... What? PotD is an easy and quick way to get relevant weapons for subjobs and remains a great way to get good materia + money, effectively killing 3 birds with one stone.
