Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[gadenp]

It is now time for Archambaud Longbriant's Great Wall Of Text. ... Stuff....

While I disagree with Archambaud that this is valid game play. Note I am a hardcore RPG (not actionRPG) player, which dislike Fighting or DDR revolution games. I agree with most of what he says. Except that unlike him, I am affected by 3 things:
1. FC is not doing Titan X runs.
2. BcoB group has little time to do and are affected by lag.
3. Unable to find 7 pro players, at one time, to help.

Both the above make it hard for me to even consider that the Titan designer has a clue about the real world outside his LAN connection to the game server. Also I do not find it fun that DDR has come to Final Fantasy. The supposed leader in old fashion RPGs.

Also as Archambaud said, groups make a big difference. And definitely the groups I join make the experience less the stellar. Great for you all that have great group. But that is the minority, not the majority.

Concerning the static aspect of gameplay. When the location I keep on wiping is the final phrase, and every time all need to do sames phrases before group can practice on the phrase party wiped, yea it gets static or lets say extremely boring fast. Especially when it is not a given that you would even get to final phrase as in my experience people make a lot of mistakes and there is alot of network connection issues, thus something would screw you over.

Thus coming back to my point of bad design (for me):
1. This is an RPG, is the designer even a RPG guy? Why is action, DDR, etc, becoming a bigger aspect in RPGs then RPGs gameplay?
2. It is divisive and exclusive instead of being social and inclusive. Why at the same time being the only method to get some BiS ilvl 90 gear. If it was only vanity, I would care less.
3. It is designed too narrowly with only a select group of people in mind. Excluding everyone else. Which is especially bad when the whole extreme content which this stalls you is 37.5% of the whole 2.1 patch. Made even worst when the other main content, LotA/CT locks you out of loot after a few plays. So for people that points out that Titan Ex is not for everyone. I would like to point out that it is 37.5% of the new patch and thus at the minimum should be for 37.5% of all players.
