    You say let's be honest and you instantly start off by being blatantly dishonest. The only part of the entire Garuda fight that has the exact same strategy is the initial pull. The tank pulls it near the rock. The moment the cyclone comes out it is a 100% different fight. Just because a few mechanics are similar in no way shape or form means the fight is the same. The phases utilize the mechanics differently and add some new ones all while doing them in completely different orders. Due to this the strategy to kill Garuda HM is fundamentally different than the strategy to kill Garuda EX.

    If your problem is that you are simply bored of fighting the same mob then say so, but making baseless arguments for the similarities between the two fights isn't doing anything. Every player who jumps into Garuda EX learns very, very quickly that this is not the same battle despite being against a familiar foe.

    Same goes for Titan EX. Sure he shares more similarities to his HM cousin than Garuda's does, but the addition of the new fight mechanics fundamentally change how the fight is tackled. Without utilizing new strategies the fight would be impossible to beat.

    So as I said. Same bosses yes. Same strategies? Not even close.

Hell, it's still an odd choice that Ifrit in ARR can be stunned and silenced (HM) but in 1.x he only could due to a development oversight lol. What does Titan do completely differently that doesn't make EX a dodge fest like HM?

    Garuda's main difference is the sister's behave differently and she can instantly kill you if you don't have the Spiny shield, otherwise it's pretty much the same strategy with less "hey you can dodge my directional attacks!" at the start.
    It's not even close to the same. Anyone who goes into garuda exterme blind, not knowing that there's any difference (maybe she just does more damage or something) will die within the first minute as the place where everyone stood for garuda hard will kill you.

    I would rather have the extreme fights than no new fights or delayed 2.1 because they'd have to create new assets.

    basically this because its easier to rehash something than to create something totally new.

    I want them to fix their latency first.

    Bullet hell fights are fine but let's make sure the game can support them first.
