Lower the Synch Level on Alliance Raids

Currently the game wastes A LOT of content by having it be completely trivial and mechanics being ignorable. Nier raids are on the other end of the spectrum where they just take forever and half the mechanics are still just face tankable anyway. There's gotta be a middle ground where the mechanics come out at decent pace and the bosses don't take forever to finish.

Even worse is the trash pulls for majority of the game, they are completely boring and do basically nothing while either dissappearing in few globals in low levels or taking a while at higher, basically never being a threat. They should commit to one way or another, either make them all pullable up to bosses and dissappear in no time like low levels or make them threatening enough to warrant their existence.

Ivalice is the middle ground. Everything is fast paced and quickly begins to stack on each other. In the first minute in the fight against Hashmal, he does: raid-wide AoE immediately followed by ground AoE's that follow multiple alliance members for three "explosions," then a single falling tower, immediately followed by his half-room charge which is then also immediately followed by him summoning an earth mist that creates a proximity AoE. All of that in just a minute. At a minute and thirty seconds, he brings the Command Tower DPS check into the field. He may also use his raid-wide one after the other, too.

I've seen multiple LotA groups wipe on the Atomos hallway because people are checked out and just running forward. They'll happen no matter where the raid is on the spectrum, so I'd rather have some engagement and tension.

yes pls let us wipe.
cidolfus is still the best 24man fight in this game!

I want nomal alliance raids having same level of challenge with high chance to wipe just like we used to have back in 2.0, 3.0 and even 4.0 times, then having normal alliance raids without any challenge with mechanics that can being either skipped or ignored entirely just like all alliance raids currently are.

I like the Nier raids.

Ivalice is my favorite, but Nier has aged the best.

Yes. That's what it was when it launched, that's what it should continue to be. Dying should be a normal part of the game instead of an event so rare people spend the entire rest of the run complaining about it.

People don't want to wipe in alliance raids.

They have an opportunity to do something really well with the new difficulty tier in-between normal and savage raids.

Also some people really need to do more than just roulettes and stop expecting some kind of fulfillment from the content beyond maybe the first couple times they do it

Having mechanics easily skippable or ignorable just wastes the content completely. It's not that hard to begin with and has no meaning if it's completely brainless run.
