Final fight too hard?

[Vydos]

Really now? They're complaining about a final battle being hard?
It's a final battle for some reason. What fun is there to simply waltz through it. FF online has always been about battles increasing in difficulty as you progress through the storyline. (Exception off CoP, that one kicked people's asses from the get-go lol).

Something else that is a bit random. Games as of late have really dissapointing end battles or simply none (looking at you ME3!). I for one am glad that S-E is keeping up the tradition that a final battle, should actually feel like one.

the fight is easy. much easier than even most of the level capped fights in CoP. this can absolutely be completed by people who aren't hardcore players. just wait for the finalized strats to surface, study it, then go in ready to execute.

people just need to stop expecting everything to be handed to them.

Blaming the existence of these forums. Hope they're shut down shortly after 2.0 release.

If forums like this existed for XI during the CoP release (and the years that followed) every thread would have been a trail of tears and a list of demands.
Would have been a total bitch fest filled with people claiming to be entitled to Al'Taieu.

But because forums like this didn't exist it was the greatest MMO expansion of all time.
Funny how transforming the FF community into an entitlement society also completely transforms all how content is perceived.

This fight is not overly tough, we barely got 4 fights in and almost have it down.
I applaud the difficulty of this fight. It is right where it should be. It is a mechanics fight, like in other FF games. You need to learn what makes the boss tick, and them compensate.

Tip 1: Stay off the stairs as a dodge mechanism. It equals death.

why? this games dead, if it doesn't attract people 2.0 will fail at launch. The goal of this game at the moment is not to appease a small percentage of hardcore players but to attract old players who quit and new players. Todays gamers are casual, with 100s of LONG games to choose from, they don't want to devote their life to a game.

An easy solution is to have an easy mode fight for the story and then have another hard fight for an item -after- you complete the story (AA in ffxi for example).

If you want the game to be all hardcore or patient players then prepare to watch ffxiv sink and fail. Because if that style a game would have been successful, servers would not have merged.

this stuff isnt going to exist in 2.0, this is pre 2.0 content, thus it is designed with those who are crazy enough to do pre 2.0 stuff in mind
for all you know 2.0 is going to be much easier, if you dont like this then play in 2.0

While we're at it let's just add a content skip feature because we can't accept a challenge.

This is one of the many reasons the video game industry is in such a downward spiral. Devs need to stop holding players hands and for once let us EARN a victory. Not sleep through it because we can't spend a few hours to learn.

I just don't understand why people are getting upset over an encounter that is requiring you to do more than just mindless spam TP combos/spells.

Hard fights are what make games enjoyable, if you want content to gloss over and solo, perhaps you should be playing Tanaka's vision of FFXIV, and tell us how well that's going.

Yes, because if people log on and beat the one thing they returned for in two seconds their first try while on the phone and blogging in another window, they'll be so impressed that they'll continue to play the game forever.

Didn't even do the fight yet... was too congested so moved on to skirmish. It's fun
