I don't think I've ever seen two people play SoP the same way
in proper Souls games I feel like its much more common for people to look up builds online because they don't want a rough experience

The reception to FRU already had people kinda bored at how much of a standard ultimate it is
you have to innovate at some point. I'd rather have something divisive than "that was ok"
comment in response to

honestly I'd be down for a super divisive ultimate cuz that means they're willing to get really weird

the next ultimate is ShB MSQ and considering how beloved ShB is, the ultimate will either be the best one they've ever done or a massive disappointment and its hard to see a middleground

people do want a curveball but unlike savage where you can point to old Coils and Alex raids that have things that the game has lost, you can't do that with Ultimates
comment in response to
post
its hard to even think of what that would look like because Ultimates have had such a standardized design since their inception
basically everything follows UCoB with only UWU standing out as having a different structure but even then only kinda

This won't happen and I won't do that, but it would be really funny if it did and I did that
Finally ascending to my rightful place as the pariah of ffxiv

but I'm also pondering the possibility that they don't really do this because ultimates are these very particular things
and if that happens, I'm gonna start anti-ultimate posting
ultimates are a relic and should be abandoned. Holding the game back.

So I actually do want another Ultimate this expansion to them how they actually carry the new design philosophy into ultimate

Diamond Dust and Light Rampant being downtime mechanics and Light Rampant lacking the parts that actually make it so infamous feel much more in line with "we don't wanna risk people being mad at us" that was in Endwalker

Funny you say that, there are people that think we actually do need 3 ultimates in one expansion at least once because DSR got delayed to endwalker and so they think they "owe" us an extra ultimate
comment in response to
post
is there a reason to think it won't be next patch?
DSR being so delayed was essentially due to covid

are you forgetting about the ultimate

I mean yeah there's that but you still move like insanely slow and melee attacks have weird tracking that makes them feel kinda bad

its hard to get peopled hyped over a vita monster hunter ish game that has a less diverse enemy roster than gen 1 monster hunter
and the gimmick loses its appeal when you actually try to like, move around and attack

true, though I pretty much always do a lot more break damage than raw damage

This is something SoP does so much better. New attacks and abilities can like, entirely alter your gameplay
comment in response to

and then the upgrade I got after that was "+2 attack for switchglaive"
keep in mind my switchglaive has 800 attack points. I get two more. This is like an endgame unlock

I then got one ability that made it so that using those previously mentioned ones gave me a stacking buff and when I got 5 I could spend it on an even bigger attack and like why is that sort of thing not way more common, that's awesome
