@Singularity It is out and you should be able to access it in the Today's Event button. Although I would wait a bit longer to play it. The reward shop seems to be missing items.

First off, I loved the finale, the quest, and the everything about it. I love the armor, the design, just everything. I want to properly thank the team from both the artists and the story writers, and poor Kam that has been (presumably) ragged doing everything while Ianthe isn't available.

So what I say next, is being said out of a loving frustration than pure vitriol. Just this once, just this once could you not have put a preem set in a quest shop? This year has already seen so many sets behind premium purchases, either of ZT or ZT packs, that this one finale, out of everything else, DESERVED to not have anything to mar it, and I can't help feel how disappointing it is to see that the only free thing in the shop is the armor. Not even the face to the armor, just the armor by itself. There's another set that's a light-based clone and four faces that total up to 2K ZTs and one armor that's Gold.

I understand that the previous sword and shield were made available in different releases, but just this once, could you not have polluted a release with a preem purchase? It also feels more and more like we were fed a lie about why faces and armors had to be separate because why is the regular face that's meant for the Gold armor paid for in ZTs? Why are you making us purchases faces with ZTs even for supposedly free sets? This isn't even the first time, as it also happened to Reign as well. I just wanted to really love this release without needing to feel like I can't love it to its fullest because of the needless inclusion of the ZT set. Just make them Gold, the faces too. We already have enough sets to purchase with premium methods, let this finale, the culmination of 5+ years of writing, the finale that's been delayed DUE TO PREMIUM ISSUES, be free of the thing.

@Singularity I believe Song accessed the shop before the bug was fixed, so by the time you accessed it everything was there.

 +1 to Maxtrigon's statements.

On another note, there are some issues with the armor, both bugs and some personal issues I have with it.
  • The first skill's burn eater doesn't seem to be working properly (not eating enough burn and not really seeing a damage increase)
  • The second skill is apparently supposed to be weapon-based but it is currently spell-based
  • The first and third skill are intentionally (?) spell-based despite being on an armor that is supposed to be for FD Warriors, who would have preferred weapon-based skills. Notably, the third skill is a spell-based status bomb, thus, it can only be combined with spellboosters which FD Warriors do not use. With that said, I assume its elecomp is used to increase the status bomb's numbers. Making the skill weapon-based would remove that, so I'm not exactly sure what I would prefer here, especially since it already costs so little SP. I guess it could be an overcharged weapon-based skill?
  • It's another FD Fire armor that deals with burn and panic, just like Gatekeeper (not much can be done about this, but wanted to point it out anyway)
  • Another FD Light armor

    		I seriously have an issue with how many skills are being made to be spell based.

    The third skill on this armor has literally no applicable reason being efficient, spell based and no damage. That's honestly just worse than it just being a no damage weapon based skill. I'd honestly really like it if you could think of this suggestion, Kam, this armor could get a lot of upside from that.

    		I personally don't have an issue with the first and third skills being spell-based - it's less applicable to FD warrior specifically, but more palatable for FD builds across the board. The bugs need fixing, though.

    However, I must also support the wider sentiments of @Maxtrigon. I appreciate the difficulties associated with the current situation (everyone wishes @Ianthe a speedy recovery) but... really? After the past 6 months, it wasn't possible to support even a release this important without the majority of the rewards being premium? To put it mildly, that's deeply concerning.

    		 Alternatively, make the skills change resource cost and damage type based on equipped weapon. I just find it odd that an armor that was teased specifically to be an FD Warrior armor can't actually be used by a Warrior to its full potential.

    		That quest was badass! I like the look of the armor a lot more than the War we got before, though that one grew on me over the years too.

    		 if anyone buys the token equipment, please post a review. Id love to know if its competitive enough to justify. I wish token equipment had like a testing arena or something, try before you buy. If instant on release info-subs cant be done. But i guess it results in more money made since more people will have to take the risk and purchase it, so from a business standpoint thats prob better

    		@Singularity

    The token gear is just a Light clone of the Rider set (Final Judgement/War's Herald/The Last Rider) and as such, you can just get the Gold gear, see how you like it, and decide then if you want the Light clone of it.

    Personally speaking everything in that shop SHOULD be Gold considering the rampant barrage of premium sets we've seen and how this was meant to be the finale quest in an arc that's been *begging* to be finished for months now.

    		 Very beautiful release, but I want to again state, like last year's boss fight against War, it's quite frustrating and a major let down when we just auto win against the boss because we're in an NPC form. Without being given the choice to fight it as normal.

    As a player who loves bossing, it's just not very fun to play as an NPC and not even have an option to play as my character and try out different item combos to win or style on the boss. If there's literally text in game for the rewards that says non cannon, I don't see why there can't be a -fight as player- button that's also labelled non cannon. It feels like a major limitation to not let the player play the game as usual, and a major waste of time to design bosses that we can't interact with in any way because we're locked to a single armor and weapon.

    		 Another issue I have with the armor's third skill: It inflicts Panic on the first token hit and then Burn on the second token hit. This isn't the first time we have a skill/spell that does this (we recently got Stormwell Eruption), but this recent trend (ish) is a bit annoying especially when we already have status bomb spells that automatically attempt to inflict statuses without having to rely on the token hits actually landing.
