Please add the Savage exclusive phase of O4S to O4N

How about if you want to see the extra phase of the fight, you get your rear in gear and work for it? It's not like reaching it is something so far out of your reach forever. If you can't commit to it, that's just something called life. Gearing up is still extremely easy and O1S and O2S being this accessible means anyone that dealt with Susano EX and Lakshmi EX have a pretty fair chance of making a dent in the content. I didn't see any fuss over Flying Justice in A8S. I didn't even know it existed before I went back to it with my static unsync while waiting for Stormblood. Why should Neo Ex-Death be any different?

It would take away the point of having it to begin with. This was talked about back at fanfest. YoshiP wants savage to have some story differences that normal doesn't to entice more people to play it.

Because it's fanservice.



Previously, fanservice was in stuff like Hildibrand quests that are pretty accessible to anyone capable of logging in. Now they are putting fanservice into raids that ~10% of the players do.

Why should fanservice not be allowed in savage content? Savage Raiders should get something special for the effort they put into those fights.

Also Fanservice can still be added in casual content while staying in savage content, there's nothing that says SE can't have fanservice for both at the same time.

Exdeath is still in O4N. This form isn't and is reserved for Savage. For some reason, despite the entirety of Omega 1-4's storyline being complete in normal mode, people want this non-canon bit that would be completely watered down. Do you want to see it? Go look it up on Youtube, open up notepad, and then just press random buttons. There ya go, full experience and you even get to see the cool mechanics you wouldn't get in normal mode. I personally have always been okay with there being a normal/LFR mode for everyone to experience the story, that was the argument back in Coil and I empathized with those that didn't get to see all the cool cutscenes and the initial fleshing out of Alisaie and Alphinaud's character. This made total sense to me, but not being able to fight a special non-canon phase of a fight... it's like... come on...

You mean a part of the fight that's exclusive for savage isn't in normal? Huh, this sounds just like heroic raids in WoW, or..any mmo ever that has difficulty settings in raids. What a surprise!
