I like how theyve pretty much confirmed difficult battles. What i DONT like however is difficult battles being the same thing we fought before just on "hard mode" (yes i know about crystal tower and bahamut but still) come on SE show a little creativity, this IS coming from a company whos made 15 sequels to a franchise (more if you count spin offs and direct sequels) with completely new stories and worlds in each with none being connected to the other, so theyve proven theyre VERY familiar with being creative. (or is diverse teh right word to use?)
Lastly he mentioned "(The quest name in parenthesis came from a debug command, so no need to decipher it.)" Did anyone catch what it was? because I didnt.

I think you're taking that a bit too far... They mentioned examples and you're already upset...
how does "I dunno about you but Im literally gonan **** my pants in excitement when and if i EVER see "FFXIV" and "too hard" in the same sentence," translate to "upset"?

Ha, sorry Duo, should have been more specific. I meant about recycled content. There will only be what.. 5 primals that are part of the main story? This pattern was already established in 1.0, so they were kinda limited in options. Like, what do they do with existing primal weapons? They want them to be part of the story, but you would have to nerf our current weapons into obvlivion (level 20 weapons) or make the same hard modes available.
It's just more content, not "the only content." We still have Behemoth, King Moogle, Odin, Siren, Whatever that 3 -headed dragon thing is, Ultima, Omega (presumed), and whatever else they decide to throw at us.

correct me if im wrong but I do believe that the primals arent the only fights in FFXIV that had difficulty settings and i think that "three headed dragon things" is Hydra? :p
I've no doubt some other things will have difficulty settings, as 1.0 had them. But, as in 1.0.. the difficulty you had to choose from was:
>Hard
>OMFGWHYITBURNS
>Hard
>OMFGWHYITBURNS

and if Hard was what was needed for relic weapons then what did "OMFGWHYITBURNS" get you? lol

Even if they launch hard, they wont stay hard. Eventually they will get nerfed in difficulty, it happens in every game.
If it does indeed happen "in every game", I think it's because that's the right approach to take. It's highly unlikely that things will be released in a perfect state. You would probably get more upset customers if you increase the difficulty of content after launch than you would if you decreased difficulty. So if you're going to err in one direction or the other, it's probably better to make things a bit harder than you might think it should be.

OMFGWHYITBURNS was for relics actually..
Ifrit Extreme, Garuda Extreme, and all three dungeons had to be completed in 17 minutes or less just for one item to drop.... which was completely unthinkable prior to the relic release (a VERY good run would take about 30?)
Yeahhhh... Don't mistake the speed in which some dedicated individuals obtained a relic for "easy". Those dudes are hardcore.

still "easy" considering FFXI hardcore players could gain relics a the same speed as FFXIV relic. heck I would say hardcore FFXI players would take 5 times the amount of time to get relic than hardcore FFXIV players.
FFXIV relic seemed to require more skill than grinding while FFXI relic seemed more grinding oriented, and tell Ill take a test of skill over a test of patience anyday (even though i have 2 relic weapons on FFXI and even unlocked a Mythic.. back when the cap was still 75)
When he says, "in hard mode you'll need eight players to take him down. Just wait until you see the extreme mode battle we're working on." does he mean there is going to be a 3rd difficulty mode for the primals or is he just referring to hard mode as extreme mode?

The way I see it is Reg > Hard > Extream all different things.

If you haven't noticed Duo thinks he is one of those "very good player"

Posted: Jul 25 2013 at 1:05 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) well lets see played FFXI 5+ years.... beat CoP pre nerf as a thief despite it being "impossible" and thief being "useless" for CoP, had two relic weapons, and Ive never been kicked out of a party/event for being crappy nor has anyone in my 5+ years of playing ever called me crappy in fact Id get tells for party invites when I wasnt seeking and theyd say "Yeah theres a million other people you job seeking right now but I decided to ask someone that i KNOW is good before taking a chance with randoms i know nothing about who probably couldnt even get us at LEAST 10k exp an hour" (and these werent LS mates either as I refused to join one.. I just did freelance work with/for other LSes (without officially joining) when they needed spots filled and in turn it would get me what I wanted/needed). Oh and literally everyday for that 5+ years i played 12 hours a day that would mean in a 5 year time span 912 1/2 days was spent logged in which means 2 1/2 of those 5 years was spend online. point being with that amount of dedication if i WASNT very good then i probably shoulda spent that time getting much more productive things accomplished wouldnt you agree? If i WASNT that good well everyone on my server seemed to do a wonderful enough acting job to at least make me THINK I was.
Knock off the e-peen ******** both of you or I'll start muting people.
Yeah, I mean XIV relics, mythic, empy are all about steady progress. They are gated, essentially. Keep in mind, these relics should be thought of as Stage 1 or 2 relics. They will be upgraded (confirmed) so...

I hope so considering the stats i see on teh current complete weapons dont look all that spectacular or worth the effort they take to gain, especially when compared to what the FFXI relics give you

I think that if you compare 14 to 11, you will be perpetually disappointed.

I understand why they test the gamepad more just thought they would wanna balance the two together so like you said people would just play what they like.
Many posts on the beta forums from people who switch to gamepad cuz the game feels more alive and fast paced than KB+m. Its a hard thing to balance . If you make it faster for kbm than its to fast for gamepad if its good for gamepad than its to slow for kbm.
Some people want ffxi style slow combat zone want wow/ year speed .

I'm confused how 1 feels so much more alive and faster paced than the other.

Ive known that since 1.0 first launched lol. But still something that take months to procure (as opposed to ffxi's years) should still offer significant traits and benefits over something you can get in a few days aside from maybe a higher damage output... sooo hopefully when teh relic upgrades hit we'll start seeing those kinda things

No doubt. I read that the weapon progression will be Primal > Relic > Crystal Tower > Bahamut > ??? > Relic Upgrade > Mythic
All speculation but there was many mentions of Mythic weapons for which the servers are named after (Excalibur, Masamune, Raganark) and I would assume THESE would be much harder to obtain, while the current relics are glorified AF weapons.
