SS drops from final bosses of Normal-Mode Big-6 dungeons - Why removed?

[Kozuki]

This makes it harder for new players who need specific SS for their build before they can have better one.

You sure you ran normal mode and not hard mode? SS only drops in normal mode dungeon.

Only in big six dungeons (everything starting Desolate Tomb and above) have their SS removed from the direct loot of final bosses. Mid-bosses drop them normally.

 

Of course, the normal mode - loot box and the 10-run bonus box still drop SS when you open it,

Nope, I'm pretty sure I run normal modes often enough to see this, or else I would not care about SS in the first place. I only run IF/EL in normal mode, btw.

 

Final bosses no longer directly drops a SS in Normal Mode, so you miss a RNG chance to get piece 5-6-7-8 from final bosses to upgrade soul shields or to complete achievement (IF/EL). 

 

Off-topic, but hard mode can drop SS too, if you have 10-run virgin in your party to get the bonus loot.
