Final fight too hard?

[SniperRifle]

If you're the 1 BLM taking out all the Meteors alone up top, it's actually kind of boring and uneventful. However, staring at Dalamund in P2 never got old.

Oh. Didn't take very long for one of these threads to pop up. All I can say is... Lol.

which is true. The ifrit fight is flawed because some people can't dodge cracks regardless. Personally I'm on the threshold.

SE designs fights with the idea that there is no server lag. Implements them, and then finds out a large percentage of people can't do them because of -server- issues, not difficulty issues.

Even this new fight has some serious server issues with AOEs, the beam attack, etc.

Get one person in your party who gets that lag and it can cause you to lose easily. Get 2 or 3 and you stand no chance.

Except in this fight there's always a safe zone where your mages and ranged DD can stand where they are safe from every single one of this attacks. Just by standing in ONE location.

Out of range of this AoE knockback, but close enough to not get hit by his siphon HP/MP ability, but off to the side from his beam attack and forward enough where the pillars from the same attack don't hit you.

It's about knowing the fight. Server lag is a convenient excuse for people who need an excuse for failing.

It is not hard... got him to 50% in stage 2 on my groups very first try... we didn't look up anything about it because we wanted to be surprised. 2nd time we have learnt a few new little things about the combat and got him to 40%

It's so fun too!

The battle is extremely hard.

Spamming enter on the NPC for 30 mins straight and seeing that the server was congested really defeated my party today.

Maybe the fight won't be so hard tomorrow.

For one, the fights not THAT hard. And for two, why would anyone complain about this? Final Boss fights are supposed to be hard! Especially in Final Fantasy games. Compared to Barthandelus, this guys a chump.

Some people are used to using gamesharks or cheatcodes to get through bosses just to enjoy the story.

Well those are bad people and they deserve to get trounced then. That's why it's called cheating.
