[Spoiler] Omega 1-4 + Story feedback

[Zhamkyong]

There is no way to please everyone, so... My gf and myself enjoyed the raid from start to end, from the first boss to the last one. Omega itself tells you how he is analyzing your combat data, so from that viewpoint it's perfectly normal to send something easy at first and then hit the difficulty up a bit each time. I played FFV (and sometimes i still do it a bit!) so this raid was a great surprise for me as i recognized the castle in the egg shell. The music is of the FFV, no wrong made there. The mechanics were awesome, and i enjoyed the phase out of the 3rd boss a lot!! We also have the records writen by the allagan to read, something i will enjoy as i suspect it will give us a chance to see into their culture and reasons of disappearance. Thought, after seeing how Omega behaves i am getting an idea of how it could have happened, honestly. And about the chocobo... Well, i will only say that i dont expect him to be "cute" forever.

The only thing i am not hyped about it's the armor appearance. I am sure more than one will find it perfect for a glamour, at least some of the pieces. Also it matches the Kugane setting. I am not mad about it, but it it's not my choice of glamour either.

They should lower the Boss HP and increase the damage from the boss so it's more mechanics focus. Right know these bosses are a total snooze fest and the lack of guaranteed reward makes it all the worse.

I enjoyed myself greatly. It probably helps that FFV is one of my favorites if not my absolute favorite, and I don't mind wiping once and then getting through things like this. It's a lot better than a bunch of people whining because people don't know mechanics despite everyone being new, and the challenge will be there for Savage for those who want it.

My current theory is that that Omega is a reference to Dissidia and we're going to deal with a bunch of enemies from the franchise. They picked well with FFV being the first choice (and the wind-up Bartz minion and syldra suddenly make a lot more sense) but they already hit the big time by using Ex-death. If we go by my current theory, next up is we're going to deal with some other final fantasies, here's hoping we deal with Kefka next!

I'm half expecting us to fight FFV's protagonists at some point, with Alpha siding with Bartz for obvious reasons.

so everyone having a problem with the chocobo but not with midgarsorm back yet again in a small dragonet form?

mini Midgar has had nearly three years to grow on us. Alpha on the other hand has one day of exposure and does not fit the games art-style in the slightest.

That's kind of the point. Biggs even comments that it looks more like a stuffed toy than a chocobo.

The second boss was really hard for me thanks to colorblindness but once I found the safe spots and saw that the one tentacle stops moving, I was able to manage. I was just discussing with my FC about how forgiving the majority of these mechanics are this time. Which is both good and bad, I guess.

I was just all fanboy over the FFV stuff, I admit it, but I really didn't think the end boss would be that, I was expecting Necrophobe, because I thought they'd save the tree for the next one like they did Xande. Incidentally I wonder if Greg will help with Necrophobe if he/it shows up....
