Questions about Alex

Ah, I haven't gotten a crafter past 50.

As a result, Alexander has both a normal (story) mode and a savage mode. The normal mode will be higher difficulty than that of the Extreme Primals, but easier than Second Coil of Bahamut's Savage Mode. This, of course, allows more players to enjoy the story. Like the turns of Coil, Alexander will broken up into sections, each with unique battle mechanics. Yoshida and his staff well recognize that Final Fantasy XIV has two types of players (the ones who want hardcore raiding, and everyone else), and they wanted to address the wants of both.

Reference

Unless it's a mistranslation, Normal Alexander sounds like the original Coil's difficulty as I do perceive it as "harder than extremes, easier than Savage". This puzzles me.

I remember hearing normal Alex is the equilivent of Coil plus echo while Hard is like Coil Savage.

There is some mistranslation going on somewhere, prior to this it was stated that Alexander Story was:Between CT and Normal Coil w/ Echo.

Did they specify which extremes it was being compared to?

no. but if it's a general comment like that, one can assume that it is more difficult than the hardest EX primal.

it would be more that they compared it with the average difficulty of ex primals

that's the thing. none of the EX primals are that difficult. garuda and ifrit wasn't that difficult (just dps checks), titan's main difficulty was the edge and a bit of coordination. levi's was similar. ramoo was not, and i haven't done shiva but that looks pretty trivial too.

bismark is a massive dps check.

ravana is procedural like titan.

Well it's up now. It's all pretty easy. Took about 2 hours to clear the entirety of it.

As about primal extreme level difficulty, more or less. Mileage varies. Really not that bad.
