"You Will Die" Difficulty... Can I Have It?

[MizoreShirayuki]

Greetings!

How is everyone!? I can't wait for the beta, can you?! I want to put a race car bed in my house ASAP! As well as try the new end-game content at launch!

That being said, I know there's going to be something akin to a "difficulty slider" on content, allowing you to either increase or decrease the difficulty of the content.

Now here is where my question comes into play:

Let's say my LS/Free Company/Race Car Bed Alliance has been doing end-game content for some time. We have become so seasoned at doing the current raids that even with the difficulty set to the highest level, I still feel the urge to watch Netflix while running said raid. Heck, not even the song "Danger Zone" can get me or my LS pumped up to do raids.

If people are still torching through content on the current highest difficulty setting, is there a possibility of the dev. team implementing something like a "You Will Die" difficulty setting between major patches to quench the thirst for a challenge from some groups of players?

Thanks!

If you want a difficult game, I think you'll have to look elsewhere. Not dissing it at all, but I think they're going in a different direction. Don't really see how a slider would work here either besides the options we get with leves and the like....but they don't really make it more difficult, just increase the level.

On topic, before requesting slider for content. Why not try the content first? They are supposed to be quite different from 1.0 in the dynamic and we are supposed to have a constant flow of things to do.

I will personally wait for beta, try it out, then give suggestions long before the end of it. I suggest hardcore power players do the same, your opinion on that matter might be more pertinent than mine, haha.

They already said they'll have player-adjustable difficulty.

Hard Mode would be awesome. Do want.

I would like certain areas full of ??? level aggressive monsters, each one like an HNM in strength. It could be a place filled with aether that have allowed animals to grow to amazing strength and take on a twisted appearance. They could drop mats for cursed gear or special materia

So basically an Area where you aren't meant to be that has monsters that you aren't likely to kill?
I'm sure there will be areas like that, like in 1.0, that are meant to be used later.
As to if they would drop anything worthwhile, *shrugs*

You figure though, while that sounds cool and all, you would need a whole lot of people to deal with possible linking and so on, which would lead to massive headaches if the range you can pull a monster isn't far enough, and regarding loot. Plus, if its too strong HP wise, as you move in, they will start to pop around you, meaning you can only really farm at the edge of the zone, making it just one big closed off area until they raise level cap high enough that you can steam roll everything

I don't know.
