No more QTE please.

[Fynlar]

I'd prefer they stay, because they are obviously dedicated to having mid fight cutscenes, and having a QTE is vastly preferable to sitting there bored like in The Puppet's Bunker or Seiryu.

If you're overdoing mid-fight cutscenes to the point you feel like you need to do something just to keep the player's attention, I'm afraid sticking QTEs in there isn't the right answer.

I noticed some keyboard players said that mashing buttons on the keyboard does nothing for the mechanic.
My friend showed me, and he was right, only a single button on the keyboard worked, and no other.

I couldnt figure out why his was so different from mine in that regard.

Has anyone figured out why this is so different yet?

Not sure about the cause, but noticed that too. I press both my keyboard and mouse buttons to pass latest QTEs now, cuz that somehow works, but not 2 keyboard buttons.

I mean just get killed by bahamat and let the healer know not to raise you until after the QTE event. seriously if you are dead before it happens it recognizes that and it relies on everyone else. You avoid the QTE and you move on in the story. Just pray the tanks if they are new have their LB set to their hot bars because the checkpoint is set after the group survives the LB.

Its not ideal but its a work around at least.

Dead people need to do SoS QTE as well.

It's already been proven it's not as hard as people perceive it to be, SE were just clever and made it 'feel hard' by making it difficult to max out the bar is all.

Truth of the matter is, if you managed to get it this far in the game without having to press 3 keys per second, this trial is a good time to learn how to use more than 1 finger to play.

You realise there was no fights which requared us to do that in normal content so far?
I mean... I genuinely don't remember about anything in normal content that pushes you to spam 1-2 buttons the same way SoS QTE "pretends" to. Maybe that's my lags fault, but even on NIN or SMN pre 5.1 there was no real need to press 3 buttons at the same time, cuz it worked out fine and maaaaybe saved quicker partys some few seconds. Which isn't that much even for Ex nowadays, let's be real.

Also, there were people who told us that it doesn't work for them the same way as some videos show it. I'm gonna jump to assumption here, but keep in mind most of those videos were probably recorded by abled people.

This is about the 5.3 story QTE, where it's considered a party wipe if any one person fails the QTE, and it resurrects everyone before the QTE so you can't just remain dead beforehand so you don't have to do it. It's also not even against Bahamut, nor can I think of any particular fight against Bahamut where a QTE is involved, but maybe there is one somewhere that I just don't remember.

Phase 1 ends with Bahamut getting summoned and dive bombing the arena, right before the QTE.

Phase 1 mostly ends when boss hp is less than 50%

If a player dies on purpose to avoid doing a QTE, isn't that considered an exploit or cheat? Who will perform the transition to the next phase then if everyone decides to die?

You can't avoid the QTE by dying. It resurrects you and makes you do the QTE anyways.

I know, but some people say this.

So I'm wondering if this is some new way or if we are not playing the same game.

[Nezerius]

No clue what fight you're talking about, but I sure as hell haven't seen that in the 5.3 story fight.

Even then, like I said, the game resurrects dead people for this QTE to force everyone to participate, so I'm failing to see what point there would be in letting this kill you.

I'm talking about the fight that you were partly wrong about, while you were meme'ing on someone for saying something entirely wrong :^)

I do agree that dying to Bahamut is silly though, since the QTE isn't all that difficult anyway.

Phase 1 mostly ends when boss hp is less than 50%

The day 1 groups that I healed through never pushed it below 50% before Bahamut got summoned.

Mostly because the sword mechanic was already playing at the time. You won't be able to skip that for awhile.

Yep it happens after he does Sword of Light before the QTE event. A triangle pattern forms and bahamut dives bomb and if anyone is caught on the wrong side dies. Have you not seen this? I mean here it is. https://youtu.be/MLCopmT_6fk?t=120

Try again dude with your petty ass meme.
