Final fight too hard?

SE should make it win @ first attempt for a noob like me

So many things upset me with this thread.

I'm not even going to argue that "It's not hard" or whatever; I think A LOT of the bosses and fights in this game are hard. I have a lot of trouble with them, especially as a tank and not having much experience with this role from other games.

What I AM going to argue is that you're expecting to win simply because you sunk a lot of time into playing it. That type of mentality is for an 'interactive experience', not a 'game'.

You say you kept getting wiped by AOE's... so, what did you do differently each time you went in? Every time I fail a boss fight, I discuss with the team what went wrong. On this one, it kept coming down to my tanking skills, so people gave me advice on better tanking methods. Sure enough, we got better each time.

If you still fail, then ask other people! I know people seem HORRIFIED in this game to communicate and be social, but you'll learn quite a bit if you do a few shouts to ask about strategies on the part that's beating you. Combine what everyone has learned and see if that solves the issue; that's half the point of an MMO.

Heck, even I still haven't beat the fight! Something you need to accept with a FF MMO is that they are HARD games. They are not push overs and require a lot of failures. It sounds like you have people that don't like to fail and... well, they simply need to go play other games. The dev team has done quite a bit to make this game more accessible. At this point, they can't go much further, less they're going to make it a cakewalk.

No, a story mission shouldn't be easy simply because it's a story mission. Was the final fight of any other FF game easy, simply because it was a story mission? No, they weren't. They were all challenging in their own regards. We have awhile before the 2.0 beta starts; unless you're going on vacation or something, you have plenty of time to beat this fight. If you don't have the time, then I'm not sure why you're paying a monthly subscription for something you don't have time for.

TLDR; toughen up :P

I like how you say ifrit is hard

I believe he's one of those people who thinks some people can't possibly win because the "server lag" will always make them get hit by eruptions.

Little does he know that server lag only counts for a very small portion of the people who actually get hit.

Lag varies by server, you can't possibly speak for every server in every situation and neither can anyone else

Beat him just now with some randoms.
A few knew the fight so it helped and we wiped the first time but after that we beat him.
Actually i was really surprised by how fast this fight was over, but it was really fun.
I love to play drg and i was able to play it at this fight too.
I died 2 times, one cause of normal legsweep. (yeah i played the risk card even though it was totally unnessecary)
2nd was that double legsweep at the end, the 2nd hit me even though i was at the edge.(that was a surprise)

About Ifrit...im in European region which was said to have the worst Server Lag?
After i got used to Ifrit i never got hit by Eruption, except when i was somewhere else with my head and got caught in animation lock. (or i simply screw up)
Sometimes if i play with other people i see how much longer they need to get away, even though i was already miles away, at least it looks like it from my perspective lol.
And im not a Hardcore, hell im not even really playing often atm. (but i think im at least ok as drg lol)

But this fight gave me a FF feeling.

playing better must vary by region too

Beat this in a few tries in a pug. It really wasn't that hard. It was harder getting full group together then the actual fight. The leader sitting there shouting took awhile. That says something when finding people is the hardest part of doing content is sitting there shouting for people.
