So I like to play final fantasy 14 and I’m a level 90 dragoon but I mainly play through the story plus raids / trials / etc… at normal difficulty. As I’m walking through town I see someone with an amazing shiny weapon. Intrigued, I walk up and asked about it. The weapon I want is the Ultimate Halbard of the Heavens and the only way to get it is by doing the Dragonsong Reprise Ultimate, a really really hard group fight involving multiple back to back bosses within a time limit. And before you can even attempt it (besides needing strong gear) you have to clear the 4 current Savage trials (boss fights). As I start researching this more, I find out about groups who even race to be the world’s first to clear this Ultimate raid, and how they have to do it without the help of a guide through trial and error. The person I talked to said it took their group 35 days of practicing this fight to clear it.
I want that weapon but I usually don’t like difficult content. I usually like to just play for fun, enjoy the story, and collect a few things along the way. After learning what it takes to get that weapon I doubt I’ll ever get one and I have a lot of respect for the people who do.
What about you guys… do you just mainly like to play games casually and enjoy the story? Do you like a real challenge in difficulty? Or do you enjoy going after the most difficult content in a game and possibly even competing with others?
