Garuda= Toughest Fight yet?

[Griss]

WAR/MRD has a skill that prevents them from being knocked back or at least it used too, Enduring March i think its called.

pld/gld has a similar ability, Tempered will.


I know it's probably not happening but I hope that the battle crash test dummys (there Qa testers) are testing with class stacking in mind.


I know i will not be any where close to one of the first groups to best the curvacious windbag, and the weapon distrobutions system for the primals is garbage. but i cant wait to get in there and get a win on hard mode.

Garuda will be beaten in a time that has some people complaining about "easy mode". Many of us invest a lot of time into the game, have been playing for a long time and some of us are pretty damned good at it. If the content is scaled towards being extremely challenging for the very best players then those of us who are merely average won't be able to complete it at all. I'm not against this kind of extremely challenging content and do think there is a place for it in the game, but not yet. Later when there is more content for all will be the time to introduce a little really hard stuff but at the moment I think the devs are rightly concentrating on content we can all enjoy.
So if we're all to be able to enjoy it then it cannot be that difficult. It'll be beaten fairly quickly, but don't blame the devs for that any more than the players. It's just the stage the game is in.

I'm hoping it takes at least more then a day! And no class stacking Another thing to keep in mind is a lot more people play (I think?) since AF came out and on patch day...so there will be more people trying etc.

So far Garuda looks really cool...I wonder what kind of stats the weapons will have? Wind based stuff is AGI no? Hmm...

Garuda is also the last "known Planned" Primal fight for this Version, I think they are going to go out with a bang.

i thought they had Titan done but they withheld it because of natural disasters in Japan?

i'd say just throw ARC/BRDS at it

I think people are over estimating Garuda.. and I will laugh if it take a long time to first beat it, because of X move is a pain in the royal foot LOL.

PS: Don't piss off Garuda.. She Screams really Loud and Cause a Tornado! LOL!

They could make this battle require a variety of jobs/classes and people will still class stack and everyone will follow suit instead of trying to actually do the fight a different way.

That's just how it's going to be sadly =\

Moogle was supposed to be harder than Ifrit. Moogle was defeated in 8% of the time it took to defeat Ifrit.

Garuda is supposed to be harder than Moogle. Thus it will take 48 minutes to defeat Garuda.

I don't Consider Moogle a Primal... It was just something "Playful" SE came up with.. I mean come on.. you hear that Nightmare before Christmas theme? haha Garuda is a Straight up Primal so Really they mean Harder than Ifirt.. not Moogle :P
