Thread: 4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

Then look at the neo exdeath numbers, meaning the it's plenty of people having issues with 3 and 4 already. Which the devs already stated. So what's the justification behind something ten times harder? There is none especially to bring this out when the new stuff that's coming out was already expected anyway. Has nothing to do with me being upset. To the average player nothing was given, but the best raiders not raiders alone get the most original new content of this patch.

I am by no means a world first raider. My first Neo clear came six weeks following its release. So let's not presume Ultimate only appeals to the very best. Furthermore, Ultimate isn't going anywhere. If you haven't beaten Neo yet, you'll have something to look forward to when you do. People constantly talk about how there isn't much of an endgame. Now they're attempting to expand on that. As for the difficulty, you are once again presuming. The devs claimed Zurvan would be closer to Thordan and warned tanks to "be careful" with large pulls in Xelphatol. They're notorious for vastly overhyping content. Regardless, even if it does prove to be exceptionally hard, they are reusing assets. I don't how much more this needs to be drilled into people's head. Ultimate isn't being made from wholecloth but will primarily use existing textures, arenas, mechanics and themes with some adjustments. Stop acting like if Ultimate didn't exist, you might have Eureka. At best, you'd have another faceroll dungeon nearly everyone has grown sick of-- perhaps not even that considering they've claimed those resources didn't go into Ultimate.

Ivalice is original. Ultimate is a rehash. So let's knock off the hyperbole. As I have said in this thread already, be my guest if you want to complain about the sparse content releasing in 4.1. I would even agree. But stop trying to blame Ultimate for it.
