As it stands, pretty much all of stormblood's trials are soloable!...
....Except for Susanoo. Can there be a rule introduced that you don't have to do these trials (since there is literally no way to do his trials alone) to be able to run the category? As his fight stands, without substantial job changes it will be literally impossible to solo him until around 8.0 (if we even get it), in which case the category would be a meme category anyway at level 100.
I'd quite like something to happen too.
Perhaps a long term solution that could be extended to apply anywhere (to keep rules consistent across multiple categories) is to treat them a bit like low%, but in reverse (high%?). ie: If someone beats more of the fights then they get ranked higher, even if their time is slower.
This'd mean that rules don't have to change based on what has been proved possible, and would ensure that runners are always incentivised to have the most complete runs they can.
Is this still a problem do we know?
Edit: Just checked yes this is still a problem, now i am back from my hiatus i will talk to Deln and see what we can do
At least the normal should be possible. This video proves it: (not my video)
I think you have to manipulate the timing of the QTE such that you have time to deal more damage. The EX however might still be a problem for a lv 80 blue mage.
Using that kind of trick is likely possible at level 100 for Extreme. I'll likely be testing the moment I have gear
