I like them trying different things but I'd love to know why they went with extreme difficulty for this trial. Was kinda hoping that it would be something I could just DF with any friends of any skill level. It's also only the 2nd time ever that a TT card has been locked behind an Ex fight. The other was Thordan for some reason, didn't drop on normal mode like other cards.

Extreme and savage is for raiders generally speaking. So why block our dyeable AF gear that is for EVERYONE behind a trial like this? It is so upsetting to me. Extreme and savage versions are special content for a certain type of player and a lot of the player base is like me...we play to relax and have fun and have no desire for the stress and anxiety that come with Extreme content. SE, this is VERY UNFAIR!!! I truly hope you make a change to this and fix it soon.

Honestly as much as I want my AF gear dyable, I think I'll wait until we out gear the fight a bit more.

The EX trail is just for an early access dyeable version of the armor with 5 materia slots. Dyeable versions of the i430 weapons do not exist yet.Quote:

This fight is a lot more lenient then a typical EX trial in terms of the DPS check, so it's really mostly about the execution (Which is also very lenient as you have forever to find the safe zones compared to some other EXs or savage). -

It may be not the best idea, but it's not the worse either (not worse than locking it behind Savage at least *looks at a3s*).
If we are going to be back to traditional ARR/HW grind, then I would say that there are steps like "clear 500 dungeons" and "do 150 fates in every area to get an item" awaiting for us further ahead. 10 runs of a semi-midcore content for a set of armor isn't that bad in comparison to routine grind. I'm stucked on a phase 3 now, and tbh, the trial isn't that hard, we had harder EX encounters for sure.
Also, just as with a3s HW AF armor, maybe they will eventually add alliance coins for this set as well. -
