"Taking a stand" quest

[-Mew-]

Reading this thread make me doubt my sanity, like it's 4 buttons, the entire game is based on a 60/90/120/240 rotation system where you're encouraged to always use your skills and almost never save them except in high end content that has you moving or the fight being interrupted. You can go on twitch and see people literally beating this game with DDR pads, people that can only use their tongues with no limbs.

And somehow people in this thread are so incredibly bad that people with only their tongues can beat this but they can't.

If they actually Nerf this on very easy then I'm absolutely stumped. There is a minimum amount of effort required to play games, if they're not willing to read the tool tips and fail a few times, games are simply not for you.

I printed this comment and pinned it to my wall. Nearly spit my drink out. I completed it on Normal first try. EZ fight. Folks here just need to get better at the game and stop standing in bad.

And you wonder why the healers are going on strike....

Implying the "healer temper tantrum" I mean strike.. is even having an impact...


Having no issues finding healers for content, nor is anyone else.

The average skill level of the healers available has dropped, so it is doing something.

As somebody that was born a quadraplegic with cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair can I just say that I think the most egregious part of this whole quest is actually the name of the quest itself??

Jokes aside - My heart does go out to people suffering from a genuine health issue that are struggling with this such as the stroke survivor from the start of the thread, but it really does grind my gears to see people with no disabilities or physical impairments use us disabled people as scapegoats because they're incapable of beating an instanced quest on very easy.

I did it on my first try and I have maybe a whole three fingers that I can actually move to a limited degree, so please don't invoke people like me just because you're incapable of clearing it, it's extremely patronizing. I for one am BEGGING them to make more duties like 'In from the cold' and I don't want Square thinking that they need to dumb down the game even more because of people like me ty.

How are you guys serious, I literally just read what each of my skills did, and used them appropriately as well as stayed out of the orange floor stuff. You've presumably been playing this game for years, it really is not hard - get better.

Now if you're literally semi disabled I can see where you're coming from, completely valid to have difficulty with it, but if you're an able bodied person, come on now. Practice!!!!!!!

The hardest part of the duty for me was organizing the hotbar so that the buttons were in a more sensible place for me - the pet hotbar system is very confusing on 4x3 grids!

That being said, this game could do with an option that makes your hp unable to go below 1 in these kinds of things, it'd solve the issue while still giving the narrative effect of it being a "tough fight"

I'm legitimately surprised by this sentiment. Like, I fully understand that disabilities might make it very hard to do this since there's nobody that can pick up the slack that's natural for someone dealing with something like that, but for an average player it should be pretty easy. Personally I basically had like, a 90% reduced health challenge mode by getting hit by the first 3 mechs back-to-back and still pretty easily one-shot it by using my healing on CD and learning the mechs to hit the LB as often as I could.

I feel like you're just sparing yourself the effort because the quests are a pain in the ass.
It's a game, and it puts obstacles in your way.
Don't you understand that?

It's easy for you to argue that it should be easy.
But this story is also a phase that gives you difficulties.
The quest is for you to relive the difficulties she had to go through.
After you have had an easy time of it, the story will be a little less interesting than it was intended to be.

If you are paralysed by a stroke or some other disability that prevents you from playing the game, the requirements should be different.
"I'm having a hard time playing it properly, so just give me a mode where I can just enjoy the story."
That should be fine.

I understand that each player's situation is different, but why not put some thought and effort into making the journey better for each of you?

Stop making threads like this and just watch a let's play on youtube, you definitely don't have the required (very low) skill to play this game apparently

I don't want this game to turn into a visual novel and I was sick of falling asleep in dungeons or trials, Dawntrail is a bless, deal with it and git gud
