New Raid is a blast!

Have to say, I never had so much fun with the raids in this game before. Easy to dodge once you know what you are looking for. Not a snooze fest. You actually are doing something vs previous raids. I dont get the fuss. These aren't that hard at all and actually make you do something vs standing idle and smashing buttons. I never enjoyed spamming dungeons so much either. I hope they keep it this way. If its too much for some casuals, who don't like mechanics, then a suggestion, make a casual mode for them. Don't take the fun mechanics away from the none casual players please. We need something.

I agree, fun new mechanics with some old ones with a bit of a twist. I hope that they ramp up the difficulty a bit aswell as the tiers go on. And hopefully we see some harder ally raid mechs to. I'd love to see what DRS does in an ally raid. Twice and thrice come ruin my beloved.

There are NO NEW mechanics, remixed or a twist yes but none that are NEW to the game or encounters. Stop praising something you don't understand just bc its flashy or currently dropped. Misinformation like this is why the game doesn't eveolve

I'm hoping the difficulty for the Alliance Raid is similar, or harder than Ivalice when they dropped. The rage and seething when they'd pop up in roulette and cause people to quit before the first fight was delicious.

doesnt help to malign the 'casuals' as well so they score brownie points with their raider buddies.

I rather enjoyed it, and as casual as they come

You like what you like I just dislike misinformation being spread. That's all I'm saying

100% agree

I don't get how it's misinformation? Lots of things are reused and has a new skin. Some things are definitely new. Black cat has elevate and eviscerat, honey B has the hearts where if you get to many your seduced and then killed.

I guess you could argue it's just a rehash of something else and I'm forgetting things from other fights but damn. Don't have to claim I'm intentionally spreading bad info >.> mechs are still fun to do.

I like the raids, hope it ramps up and the ally raid is good this time. EOD

I thought they were pretty great as well and I'm looking forward to Savage. This is a stark contrast to Endwalker where I did not care for the raids at all.

It is misinformation because the mechs you are doing in these raids are not boss specific. Everything mech wise is the same in past fights sure some may have a twist or a delayed effect but Mechanically they are the exact same period.

Just because you don't remember some fights mechanically whether they be from unsyncing it now a days or due to higher ilvl to never see them anymore doesn't mean they don't exist elsewhere in older content. It's not a brand new mechanic like ballistic missile or brain jack, or allagan rot or allagan field which hasn't been seen or used or rehased or reworked, repurposed.

Elevate was used in HW raids specifically A4 with launching a set of players to a platform and A8 with floor plates. If your talking about the floor crumbling that was used through pando raids, if your talking about her moving with a giant purple marker that was done in pando raids and has the line AoE which was Storms crown line Aoe targeting players. Again nothing new

Honey B hearts don't kill you that's the AoE on the floor that damages you and gives invul stacks to you that's what kills you. You know the dancing you do? That's From SB Emenation trial again it doesn't kill you. It's the same mechanics fundamentally just with a twist or rework however you want to look at it.

It is by default not a NEW mechanic

Edit: I'm not saying you intentionally spread misinformation but what I am saying is this what causes misinformation whether intentional or not. Everyone's memory is different but it needs to be known that these mechs have existed and still do in older content.

Enjoy the game how you want and when you want.

Possibly the only new mech is M1, where you get your butt uppercut into a title, I can't remember another mech like that before, but I guess one mus exist somewhere?

Damn, who soiled themselves on your breakfast this morning. Sheesh just chill out.

They aren't new mechanics as such, but the pacing of the encounters are refreshing compared to 'recent' history for normal mode content.

It's called people who are praising mechs we've seen thousands of time and just cuz it's pretty they think omg it's new when it is in fact not new. It's called misinformation how many more days and years are we just going to accept half baked reworked ideas for mechs an be like yea give me more before we say this is enough I'm tired of seeing and doing the same thing that I've been doing since 2013.

But yes me correcting someone and sharing knowledge is apparently shitting on them absolutely. And yall wonder why the playerbase has nothing but casuals these days and stand in Aoes like it's a pool party and get KB like it's a ride at a theme park for bungee jumping.

It's essentially a vertical knock back, it was done in HW dungeons and the raid in A8 for steam vents, several times in ShB and so on and so forth. All they did was take Pando Tiles from P12 and melded them together to rework and repurpose the mech. If you want to be super critical of it essentially it's Titan in the same way If you look at how his arena gets smaller in a circular fashion as the fight progresses. It's been there since 2013 same mech but just tiles instead of the arena whiting away as the fight progresses permanently as they do get repaired again same as P12 EW raid.

Again not new, repurposed/reworked/melded together to create this "new mech" everyone thinks it is but it's not

The new raid is indeed really nice, the difficulty is decent without being too much, music are nice, story got me interested, only issue for me is how the gear look but then again since i have no more room in that cursed dresser I don't really care !

I'm really enjoying them. Some mechanics we've seen before but either presented in a different way or with a different tell to keep things interesting. Though some that were exact were fun. I laughed a bit in M3 to think "Ohai Emerald Weapon, good to see you again". They are spicy enough to keep things exciting mixing familiar mechanics with a more fast-paced style without being overly punishing so that a struggling party can still make it through.
