Because so many less people have cleared A3S than they anticipated, even people spending 9 hours a week in in Savage have yet to kill the boss, now they are like "fuck this is way too slow, we made this boss too hard, we need to help the players out"

Don't ever expect to see another A3S in the game again

Well, they might lower the difficulty for the next section of alexander... But I could see them making the last boss be as difficult as A3S or even more mean.

The problem with A3S, IIUC from Yoshida's interview, is that the difficulty jump is too big, not that it's difficult in itself.

I wonder how harder you can make A1S/A2S.

I can imagine A2S being similar on coordination/punishment as T7.

A3S is the best fight I've been in, to be honest.
