Capstone trial ilvl sync

[Saraide]

Preliminary patchnotes dropped and include an ilvl sync for the endsinger trial of 570 which is great. But I feel like they are forgetting something here. Unless I have legit gone blind, there is no mention of the older capstone trials. Thordan and Hades get eviscerated by the lack of ilvl sync just as much. Did they forgor?

I think they simply chose not to bother.

i agree to an extreme, the level sync needs to be fixed for all of the game, make it hard and rewarding again...
but at the same time i remember no one being able to beat bismark normal, the steps of faith failed duty, the gear checks, the dps checks, all these min max mechanic in my family friendly no dps chart game...

at this point fans need to learn to make a better game instead of waiting around thinking square will.

I agree that the previous fights should have this change as well, but I'm not surprised they don't considering they don't have dialogue that can be skipped like Final Day does.

[Kaurhz]

This should be applied to all of them.

Whilst you could say none other has cutscene transition like Endsinger -- They're all still a vehicle for telling the story, and having them fall over just ruins the climax of it all.

[Jeeqbit]

I agree but they also did not mention they would be doing the others. They only mentioned this one.

This could be a case of a developer fixing the literal thing players (users) complained about without taking a moment to consider what the actual, underlying issue is. :shrug:

You might be right but the threads about this issue have always included the older capstone trial aswell in my experience. Sure, endsinger was definitely the focus of the discussions but the other ones werent ignored either.

I think it was only applied to Endsinger because Endsinger was the loudest one whenever the suggestions were presented to the devs. We need to be louder for the other fights and not just the current most recent fight.

Hard agree on this. I'm still going through MSQ, joined three months ago, and I'm taking my sweet, slow time, since Shinryu destroyed my expectations on how the rest of the capstone trials will be. There are very fun Normal battles that feel absolutely fair and they don't take forever to beat, in and out of MSQ. Susano, most of Omega Raids, Alexander Prime... heck some dungeon bosses feel more epic/fun than the capstones at this point. I'm more excited about fighting Alliance Raid bosses than getting to the next Trial most of times.

I mean, this game pretty much holds you at gunpoint to go through the whole story, Yoshida himself has said he wants new players to experience older content they worked so hard to make, but besides Ultima and this yet unknown solution for Endsinger, they have made 0 efforts to make it more enjoyable or approachable for new players. Next year we will have Dawntrail that will surely attract new people and at the rate patches get released I doubt they'll do much.
