Do we need more "Demon Walls" in the dungeons?

[Shurrikhan]

That sucks, that sounds like a fun mechanic to overcome with a few simple steps to do.
Demon walls in FF games were always nasty but this one now just feels like you're hitting a literal wall cause of how boring it is.

When did they get taken out? 2.1?

2.1 or maybe a bit after, I think?

It wasn't until the dungeon was irrelevant for most players (no longer the weekly currency farm, and not the spammable-of-choice for uncapped currency either), but I remember feeling like I was missing something important, especially as a WHM or MNK/DRG when I finally got rouletted back in to a bee-less AK.

Personally, pre-nerf Pharos had my favorite boss fights. Being in a group that allowed me to hold Greased Lightning III throughout an entire Brayflox HM run was probably the closest in intensity (albeit a totally different style thereof) since then.

EDIT: God I'd love to see an Amdapor Keep (and Lost City) Savage that requires some cross-role intelligence/awareness for a change >.>

I'm guessing the meaning was "food of least desirable secondary stats, but current-tier vitality bonuses, which can thereby be purchased very cheaply to inflate one's health".

Or that's just what I mean when I tell people I need to buy vit food because we don't have a SCH/Noct and raid damage would otherwise kill me.

Exactly this ^
Like i said stomps would always kill me back then in titan as i did not have full i90 gear because.... it took ages to get
Sure the food did not help by a huge amount, but it was something, lol

AK was actually a pretty huge challenge to consistently farm when the game first came out. Was lots of fun.
