[Spoiler] Omega 1-4 + Story feedback

[Ranhansha]

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....

Right, it was a surprise and I can't say it was a pleasant one.
Exdeath deserved a lot more. I mean, CoD was the last boss in her raid and Exdeath could have been a lot more epic than what it turned out taking into account all the void stuff. Maybe, he'll come back later.

Except the first boss that I found boring I really liked the others. Specially 3rd boss that was really fun.

Omega's story is totally fine as long as you see it for what it is: a paper-thin excuse to recycle old Final Fantasy bosses (under the pretense of "homage" or "callback", natch). In which case, the weird arrangements of letters in dialogue boxes that pass for "story" really don't matter.

Actually, I hope Square Enix goes all the way with it. You might as well throw in Sephiroth or Jecht while you're at it. Heck, why not have the entire cast of Dissidia show up? That's like, at least 20 bosses there man! You don't even need a reason, just say "Omega made them, fight plz"! You don't even need to do any visual design work!

As for the fights themselves, I never expect the Normal Mode 8-man or the 24-man to ever be significant challenges. Extreme Primals fill the gap of Midcore challenge between casual content and "hardcore" savage. I don't think anyone should expect Omega to be at all difficult in normal mode; it's only there to farm i320 gear.

I think the fact that it drops tokens for level 320 gear tells you everything you need to know about the intended difficulty. Savage is in 2 weeks.

the best 8 raid by far, the bosses have interesting mechanics and while tons are "lol dps and heal" , i cant see the extreme modes being tons of fun

the most interesting is 3rd boss , tons of things going on and the tableboard thing is cool , the phase out , yes! thats cool! more of those please!

the final boss :3

oh and alpha rocks ! , i want a minion or a rideable alpha NOW ! <3

more than you think Alpha is the heroes of the chocobo dungeon series ^^, he is a badass chocobo! he can have jobs too that explain why we are placed at the same level than him haha.

anyway, story wise, it's cool i like where it go, i'm curious to see who will be the next inspiration for the boss. (since it can be anything and everything) plus this 89 number make me think they are the 89 big boss of the ff series :x then scary thought no?

about the difficulty, it's perfect, it's the first part of the raid 8 in NORMAL, if you want hard, wait 2 week and try the savage. a lot of people will get better at fight boss this interesting, more appealed to try end game content. than being crushed by normal content too hard for what it is. a story mode dungeon....

my only grips in this raid, is the look of the gear that make everyone in robe... even ninja and monk.... seriously? i did notice that often the armor are overthetop, like they try always to add something special for make it woa... and i feel it's not needed, most of them armor are insanely beautifull... don't need to add this small detail that will make everything over the top. people like normal gear, flashy gear are not always what people wear. if you look the glamour most people prefer have a cool nice look. and that why some armor are not liked.

outside this on 10 i will give it a 8/10 (i don't count the gear apperance or the note will have go down to 6/10) i can't wait to see what come next.

Omega said that the combatants were grouped according to dimension, which makes me think they'll do bosses from other games(6/7?) rather than sticking purely with 5.

that what i think too, i'm sad to think that we will only 3 dimension, it have the potential for have more dimension then more series.

ps: a wild thought, what if...we don't fight omega at the end of the raid, but instead into a trial? i means the goal of this raid is test our fighting capacity... plus we are into his dimension. then technically we can't kill him there.

Nothing has matched Coil in terms of lore/story coolness, and gear design IMHO.

They began building up to Coil in 1.18 when Dalamud started falling, no shit its story carried more weight. We also don't know where Omega's story will go; it reminds me of when people were comparing Gordias to FCoB.

I actually thought the third boss was most interesting. The game board and sliding puzzle were unlike anything we have gotten before and I actually enjoyed the forced movement combined with the stack circle.

I'm actually most excited about that fight on savage mode than any other.
