Ibram Gaunt posted:Yeah. There's really no point in making ADR content hard because the kind of person the content is designed for will never be able to do the mechanics and it punishes everyone else with a much worse time. How many people do you still see die in Aglaia to Rhalgr's attack Broken World falling off the edge of the world. Alliance Roulettes need to be pretty easy and flashy.

I kind of like where their alliance raid difficulty is, ie "able to be completed with half the party dead" because then they can throw all the insta-kill mechanics they want in there and add a fun amount of chaos. they can throw in mechanics that can get other people killed if you do them wrong because it literally doesn't matter, you'll all get rezed eventually and there's no enrage timer. So it punishes you for failing mechanics by killing you, but doesn't punish the whole raid by causing a wipe, its kind of a cool intro to raiding

While the average alliance raid goes very smoothly, the Ivalice and Nier raids can still regularly turn into mass casualty events and frankly seeing that happen and players deal with it is half the fun of doing them

I'm convinced they wrote something into the code for the launcher that pretends the player puts their password in wrong the first time

Cleared 4.2 and The Burn, stream of thoughts: Four Lords ruled, they played me like a drat fiddle, I shouted NOOOOO when Broroban sacrificed himself. Real good build up and pay off for Asahi calling you savior of the savages and my character looking at him like he just slapped me with his glove. I'm a tiny au ra gal and we see eye to eye, I wonder how this plays out with lalafell or roe with this little fucker going full aggro. Me, an idiot: A played straight amnesia plot? Come on now. I am far too sophisticated for this old trope. Me, an idiot, eyes wet much later: As the thread said this game really makes you feel bad for homicidal psychopaths. When the crystal coffins opened I said OH gently caress out loud, story good at pulling you in, the ride is wonderful. You know a story has you when you get shocked or plead with your monitor due to the events happening on-screen. Fighting Tsukiyomi hype levels: 150% Suffering Phase Begins: 200% Post-Suffering Meaner/Faster Mechanics: 250% SPIRIT OF GOSETSU RUSHES SPIRIT OF ZENOS: 1000% HYPE He's the best character and I can't wait to bump into him later in some 5.0 or 6.0 post patch aaaaaaaaa loving Hien showing up with his atomic dead pan jokes that make me laugh every time. "All of them?" "It would seem you have prevailed." BRO IM TRYING NOT TO WEEP AND YOU WALK UP AND HIT ME WITH THAT OVER TWO PLOT CRITICAL CORPSES LMAO, I love this brash young lord. I loved my character looking at Asahi like Hank Hill about to kick Dale's rear end. I really loved him getting his, too! And heeeeey super hype at the twists for Zenos' body and Ascians doing anything interesting! Speaking of shouted "Blue Alisaie what the gently caress" when dude volunteered to go to Garlemald. Story is real good at shaking things up since the days of ARR! Video game good. Just a few more post patch storylines to go and apparently they get better and never stop getting better? Licking my lips and wiggling my fingers at the succulent feast before me.

Hydaelyn's Tits I'm in hysterics!  They think of everything, I love it. I always wonder how the camera moves for others when it pans to the side and down slightly for my 4'9" rear end. With the roe it looks like he's trying to tell his mom he will be staying up until 11 tonight.

She was literally becoming The Witch Of Doma, that was the point, she's supposed to sound weird and batshit because she was everything her people feared about her.

Just fully leans into Maleficent meets Rita Repulsa and it works because Yotsuyu / Tsukuyomi has decided to embrace being bad.

So many of the best boss fights in this game are enhanced by the actors going full ham, and Yotsuyu is no exception.

Tsukuyomi is probably one of the coolest fights for the plot's integration into the battle itself. Personally, I like how if you're looking close, the Specter of Asahi is saying "it should have been me!" while fighting, which you wouldn't understand until the cutscene after the fight.

Good voice work lifts up otherwise bland fights too. Zurvan would be one of the most forgettable trials in the game without the magnificent scenery chewing.

The way Tsukuyomi opens her last phase rasping "in darkness blooms the spider lily" sticks with me to this day.

I know they can pump these things out in their current layout, but it would be nice to have some variety or additional challenge. The point of the hallways isn't making it easier on the devs, it's that nobody will ever go into an optimal room so it's just pointless
