Final Fantasy 16 DEV destroys the Boss fight 15 levels higher 🔥

[@yourvenparianen5390]

Dude did a perfect cinematic finish as well. Japanese devs are on a whole other level

[@novum2915]

I mean he openly admitted that he lost in an ign video prior to this, I'm sure he's still skilled regardless but it would make sense to assume he also practiced lol, so if practicing before a presentation puts you on a whole other level then sure. I think it would be more impressive if they gave a dev some sort of secret boss challenge he's never fought before, then to me if he did so well against it the dev would be on a whole other level

[@yortskie9863]

​@@novum2915I think what he meant of Japanese devs being on "a whole 'nother level" is that they actually "play" the game. They play the game and are actually trying to get good at it rather than playing it just to playtest and check for bugs. Other devs are usually just playtesters and are not that interested in the game itself. I guess that's what makes Japanese devs on "a whole 'nother level."

[@novum2915]

Both of you are saying this as if every dev on the FF16 team would have been able to play the game this skillfully, yes obviously there are playtesters and people who just search for bugs and every other role as well, but what I am saying is that I'm sure they didn't just pull a random guy who programs the wall collisions for example lol, the original comment is too broad and general was the main point of my first comment So what both of you are saying makes perfect sense, I can agree that Japanese devs are dedicated and it's super cool to see them play their games so well, I think of Sakurai with Smash Bros and how good he actually is at Smash, but a dev or a certain group of devs playing their game to make sure it's actually playable and fun is also not the most surprising thing I've ever heard of

Coming back to this after having done this fight solo but at 35, this fight really does haunt you cause there's a high potential to beat this guy but maintaining his patterns is so tough. Dude even planned out proper counters and loadout positions for a perfect strat and of course he's very solid at the counters. Even upgraded specific skills to compensate the damage needed. I can't wait for people to hit NG+ and have very interesting tests on this boss.

[@thegamewin100]

What I love about this game is the number of different builds you can have with 8 eikons. And the planning it takes. You have some very interesting styles out there. Like counter style, or will damage style, or physical damages, or focusing on aerial combos. It rly depends what you prefer.

[@zevofeir]

Yeah I am almost at the end of normal game, and I have a pretty good damage build, where diamond dust does super good stagger, then a bit more fumbling around with normal attacks and a few abilities and then when the boss gets staggered I rain all my abilities on him and get like 100k damage.

It totally depends on your game style. These abilities are counter abilities so not good for everyone. I’ve seen some wild builds out there, like ones where eikon abilities enhance each other for insane damage. Like will of the wisp from ifrit and the lightning bolt from ramuh, ifrit ability actually hits the bolt and increases dmg even further to insanity. Every ability in this game is good depending on build.

Those are specific bosses you get from a bounty list later in the game. They're rank "S" in terms of difficulty but they're not so hard once you learn some of the patterns. The level gap doesn't matter. I had more or less the same gap when I killed Atlas. Next rank "S" boss after this one is lvl 50 and you can defeat it with a 10-15 level gap all the same. It's one of the easiest Final Fantasy I've ever played and even those bounty elite bosses (that are optional) don't even come close to the difficulty of some story bosses during the PS2-PS3 era of the franchise.
