eugenepark9665: dzamel's revamp unfortunately nerfed boss #1, but ill gladly take it in exchange for not having to stand in those blue magitek unlocking things anymore

HaitaniMasayuki: I noticed the change on the Dusk Vigil bosses a while ago, but haven't played Shi Sui recently. I had no idea about those changes.

Huh, true! That part in Shi Sui where you cannot swim anymore is a real bummer...

Stormblood has added swimming to the game, so it was really neat they put that part in there, just to have another little showcase of it. Now it's gone.

aeroflip97: Even developers forgot about squadrons

johnathanbutler8241: The pool was a good place to cool down after the suduction filled battle

ecchidragon8038: Having spent so much tine in Cosmic Exploration, so I had no idea that there had been any changes at all - Thanks for keeping us updated.

MikeLovesRabbit: I've been a regular player since 4.1 and genuinely never knew that Rout was a stack

scraplette9608: I had no idea that was the solution to the rout mechanic everytime I've run dusk vigil me and the other players have just eaten the damage alone. Shame to learn this after it's been removed from the game

Nihonguy: The bridge make more structural sense i guess

herebejamz: That was a line stack? That would've been cool to know! I'm kinda sad I'll never have the chance to actually do that mechanic now.

tsunderemerc1138: While Shisui looks great graphically now, it's still such a shame that more and more dungeons are being simplified and made easy. In a game where the first 70% of content is already easy. Especially unique dungeon mechanics being removed, since it could help set each expansion's content apart from one another. It's not as if there aren't newer dungeons where you still have to remember unique mechanics or interactions.

CorepunkTV: my god, what have they done to this game... jesus christ. literally braindead... and they STILL cry for more dumbing down. who are these people?? 3 year old kids? invalids? 97 year old grandmothers? who are these people who cant even manage to make their way through normal content??

warllockmasterasd9142: NOOOOOOO!

Not the Water in Shisui!

the dungeon will never be the same.

HyouVizer: LV63 dungeon: after 2nd boss, i miss the pool too. They removed it ages ago I recall

Mobs after 2nd boss too, no longer have roaming pufferfish aoes i think looking at your footage.

tehzerp: Violet tides threw me hard I was like where's the water after the 2nd boss has the wood always been there? The whole group stopped looking at it, going whoa yeah wtf then someone looked it up.

Don't think I've done dusk since 7.5 though.

zima1203: damn, they are lobotomizing dungeons even more, nobody asked for it but apparently someone is bored

shawnscouten5184: Hopefully this is the last of these reworks. I can count on one hand the number of times these things actually made the dungeon more fun. Usually it’s just needlessly simplified or stripped of creativity.

lemontonk: Why do you say “unfortunately” the bosses have been changed imo there all good changes? I don’t understand

hibiscvs: Oh man, I used to have so much fun standing in Rout :(

PancakePapi41: Having run these dungeons so many times in the past few days, im so excited to do them again and now i see this dungeon for the water is purely amazing

Edit: Wait these chages were already done a while ago now looking at this again. I was kinda confused but then realized that the update was a while ago

Jethro0815: "Making it much more obvious". Sprouts still stand in the line AoE of the elephant.

bethmullen599: I loved the swimming section! They really have taken away a lot of what made some of these dungeons even a little bit unique.

----Jay----: Shame about the swimming, I loved that little jump!

But some good changes elsewhere.

saraf3967: I thought I was crazy! I didn't know they'd made any changes and ran Shisui recently. I get to the part where the pool used to be and just felt this jarring disconnect. Like, it didn't feel right, something was wrong. In the back of my mind I could have sworn there was a pool here, but maybe I was thinking of something else? Turns out no I'm not crazy, it did use to be there and then the devs ninja nerf'd it!

Tyrannotaur: I think I've run Shisui more than any other dungeon because I wanted the complete armor set for every job. Really like that dungeon. I do agree losing the water section after the second boss does suck. Shame they have to dumb it down for the NPC to actually be able to help. I know it's probably less of a load on the system and also to keep everything "the same" but I do wish they had a duty support version and a full party version of these dungeons. Oh well.

Quilmeleon: I can not count how many times with randos we just chilled in that pool and vibed. I sometimes wonder whoever is making these changes actually plays the game.

SevenSinSymphony: I really hate that Opinicus now returns to the middle for whirling gaol, since previously as tank you could preemptively move to behind some rubble and thus keep full uptime for yourself and melees, but now you have to disengage. It’s minor but it was a nice little bit of skill expression/optimization, and now it just feels bad and makes the boss more unfun.

katerinaquinn5482: That's fucking bullshit the change they made to that last dungeon
