Didn't they just tune them back to normal though? From what people were saying it sounded like they had just doubled the HP of the Elite bosses from the Japanese version, which unbalanced things.
I... kinda feel cheated. Sorta like when Diablo 3 Inferno got nerfed maybe a few days before we could beat Diablo on Inferno legit.
SO CLOSE.
edit: @above, anecdotally they also seem to be hitting for less, etc. It might have just been improper level scaling, and the most obvious cue was the higher HP.

If this is the case, I imagine I'll probably breeze through the rest of the elites now... I did somehow manage to get a mastery on the ant lion even after all that initial struggle.

was hoping the update would fix my woes but nope.
has anyone got this to run on a jailbroken iphone device? it's the only thing i can think might be causing my problem.

Much easier now, managed to do up to second FFV Elite dungeon mastered.
Didn't master Baigan though, still tough. First level of FFV was beat but not mastered, will go back and master on next lot of stam.

Well, I just easy moded the hell out of the final FFX dungeon including getting mastery. Off to murder Bagain in FFIV now.
It took me over 10 save loads to beat antlion but luckily it was a mastry thanks to blind working before riydia gets one shot killed. New players will never feel the pain

Not completely sure about bosses... but it seems mobs were nerfed damage wise. Final picture of FF4 elite and the mobs who were hitting me for 300-500 easy are now doing sub 200 with the same FF4 synergized gear.

I'm glad I waited to tackle the Elites. Still probably gonna get to them a bit later.
Easy to beat, not so easy to master. Lots of HP (hard on your actions award) and the two optional objectives are to beat him before he closes his wings (basically impossible if you're not lucky with a paralyzing skill) and not trigger a counter attack (which means holding back after a couple of attacks while he beats on you and lowers your damage award).

I need 2 Non Elemental Orbs...you think one will drop today?
Not a chance in hell.
At least I got a bunch of Holy orbs to make some Curagas.

I've had a couple or so of those drop today. Keep at it.
Should have enough to hone 2 double cuts come Wednesday when I get a load of lesser power orbs.

Who are the characters released during that? Spoiler tag it incase people want to be surprised. I really want at least one FF6 person on my team since that is my game.

Murdered Baigan... like straight up super murdered him. Kind of sad how easy it was after so much death and loss...

I'm guessing they're going to follow this up with the next wave of content. If you look at this progression chart comparing FFRK JP and Global, there's a ridiculous amount of content we don't have yet, and even in JP the game has only been out what like 4 months? So I think (hope) we're going to get a flood of new and difficult events incoming.
That said, your point is probably true, I suspect we'll get some complaints. I didn't really see what the big deal was personally, the reward for clearing it is like 2 stamina shards and a mythril. Big whoop. Even at its pre-nerf difficulty it was doable with the proper setup, and would have been easier after Aerith and a few more events.

This is going to happen anyway
I can't remember. I'm basically recalling by checking the painting levels in the JP app, which I do recall were pretty much in ascending order for the History (Classic) versions.

holy shit lol

With Baigan easily downed... I was still kind of hoping that Cagnaizzo would put up some sort of fight. Nope, one and done. FF7, 10, and 4 elites are all completed. Now on to FFV I guess.

Holy shit that a lot of content.
Cloud is 1 level away from being maxxed out, so I'll swap him out of my A team and build another guy up in replace.
Need to try some more Elites now if they've made them a bit more bearable.

This is an understatement. They're outright nerfed. Don't get me wrong, some are probably still challenging but the suggested levels actually are suggestions now, not mean tricks.

Wow they really nerfed the shit out of elites. Not sure if I like or not.

Where'd we land on the "better to hone Double Cut or create another" discussion?

I wish the doors to the "worlds" were a bit more stylized to match each game's aesthetic.

Yea I think honing it will be better in the long run, albeit more expensive. Freeing up that extra slot for an extra ability (Drain/Fire/Blizzard/Thunder/Water/etc Strike) for example makes your character more versatile.
In the long long run, you may even want 2 fully honed, so that multiple people in your party can each have one.

Anyone did Magissa & Forza since the update? I see no difference at all but I did not restart the app after the announcement. However, I was not in the dungeon when the update came up, I entered right after I saw it.

A good way to verify the hearsay would be to spend thousands of dollars of your own money.

I'm not convinced it was actually an error to begin with. We're not on exactly the same schedule with regards to events, characters, and story content, and it's possible that for whatever reason they wanted to make sure that people didn't clear the content too quickly. Granted this is all speculation, so who knows.
Should I just keep hording though? I also feel like i never have enough gil to upgrade anything. Grinding for gil in the gil events seem so slow. Playing those dungeons on Normal with level 30 characters I still get destroyed.
You'll have no gil problems as long as you farm the gil event dungeon.
Yeah thats what i meant. They give you so little on easy and then when you play Normal I seem to get one shoted by a lot of the regular enemys at level 30.
Well, if you're not going to spend them on relic pulls, the only other options are inventory slots, stamina, and healing. Just keeping them in your inventory forever won't accomplish anything.
You've got to upgrade some of your equipment or use core characters (since they get power boosts in that event). I don't have a single character at level 30 yet and I can mow through that event on normal without hardly a scratch.

Maybe you should take a screenshot of your party? I can't imagine getting one shotted on Normal with a full group of level 30s. A full group of level 30s can take on Hard.
