Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Raikki]

Once you fight Titan so many times, you are playing off prediction, not reaction. Why? Cause it is a 100% scripted fight, and people will eventually start to memorize the moves in some form, even if they cannot call it out themselves perfectly.

Sure, after a while prediction kicks in, but early on when you don't have enough experience it's all reaction. Nobody's perfect but both in Hard and Extreme I've seen lots and lots of people able to jump right in and dodge on reaction well before they could have the experience or awareness to know when plumes were coming. It's mostly about being alert.

If the extreme mode content is made for the minority crowd, it should not be so easily accessible via Duty Finder for a casual to jump into. It should of been handled in the same manner as the Binding Coil, or like in FFXI; where it is either your in a HNM linkshell, or not. It was pretty much cut and dry on which content was made for which group.

Availability through the duty finder is a poor indicator of what is casual vs. what is hardcore content. Coil is missing from the duty finder likely due to difficulty in working out how to handle progress saves and syncing and entrance lockouts, features which no other content available via duty finder incorporates. Additionally, access to Titan Extreme is locked behind a Garuda Extreme clear, which itself is locked behind a Titan Hard clear.

...access to Titan Extreme is locked behind a Garuda Extreme clear, which itself is locked behind a Titan Hard clear.

A player can be carried through Garuda X to some extent. I had a discussion with a person in my Titan X party last night who used to sell Titan HM clears. He half-joked, something to the effect of, he's now paying the price for all those relic sales because people can access content they weren't skilled/geared/ISP'd for. Because Garuda X is not a particularly difficult fight, I think there will be many people that make it to the wall that is Titan X and progress no further (until selling Titan X runs is more of a thing).
