How's Ultimate?

[KageTokage]

I can't help but wonder just how long the fight is meant to be with how much time Bahamut spends being untargetable on top having only a few million less HP then Neo Exdeath.

Some people are saying it'll be 20 minutes long.

Considering that 'Flames of Rebirth' is an attack listed in the 4.11 skill list on xivdb,
it could be possible

Ultimate probably isn’t for me - sounds like you would need to remember lots of mechanics and have perfect timing :P therefore I respect people who can do it and enjoy the experience

[LunarEmerald]

Ultimate is LOL.



The newest part shown has you needing to use heavensfall to knock yourself into a tower. A tower where half of it is past the instant death wall.

I love it and I am barely raiding it, just watching the streams when I can and seeing how excited is everyone is when they progress just a little on it is really cool. Also, it is already, more excitement than we saw at any point during o1s-o4s. I would say from that standpoint, just getting raiders excited about the game in general, it has been a success so far

I haven't beaten O4S and I'm participating in ultimate by watching streamers (like a tonne of other people). It is fun as hell watching the fight unfold and kinda reminds me of watching esports.

Why are you so hung up on people only having fun if they clear it? I might never clear it but still have a blast in the content, I might never enter and still have gotten a lot of fulfillment from the content. Who are you to say the content is wasted when so many are enjoying it in one form or another?

Otherwise wats the point if it's not being cleared , and so many is subjective we are talking a small percentage in the big scheme of things.

Otherwise wats the point if it's not being cleared

Because it is fun regardless? Content is about having fun. Clearing is a goal, one that may never be reached while it is still relevant, but it is a goal regardless. Challenging myself to the goal, or watching someone else try for that goal and rooting for them is the largest aspect of that fun, clearing is just the victory of that goal, and is only a tiny part of the experience.

Think of it like PVP (in an ideal world with no botters and a perfect ranking system). I suck at PVP and will never get the top ranking prizes or even place in the top 100, but that doesn't mean the content is wasted and I still get fulfillment from it by challenging myself to the content, win or lose.

Also, remember that we live in an age where you can fill a huge stadium with people, getting them to watch 10 players play league of legends. Is this such a different concept?

Still working on clearing O4S myself. We are definitely getting it and afterwards we will be trying ultimate. Don’t know if that will be before the next raid tier though, guess we shall see if we make it!

One thing I’ve been wondering is if they’ll actually make another ultimate style raid or if this will just be a one time thing.

Pretty sure they have said they will be, with the only reason they wouldn't being if this one flopped. Which so far it doesn't seem to be doing.

One thing to note for the possible next one: They were debating between Bahamut and Titan for this round. So the next one will most likely be Ultimate Titan. Pray for good latency.

If people quit after not even a week of fighting it, they shouldn't even be on a hardcore team.

This is what it really comes down to, this is the sort of content for the absolute top tier teams. Even most folks that manage to down O4S won’t be able to clear this content and that’s perfectly acceptable! The weapon is purely for bragging rights and anyone that obtains it should be proud of themselves.
