Curious as to where you got the numbers to back up "5% of the player base is hardcore."

because yoshi wants to convince us only 5% of the player base is on endgame stuff.

Titan may be hard for some but it's far from impossible. Also, with Party Finder, it makes it much easier to find groups to clear it with, or to fill a few spots for FC runs.

And to be honest, if all content was extremely easy that every one and their dog could beat it upside down and blind folded, I wouldn't be interested in this game.

Besides, with every update it's likely SE will make the older content easier. So all the people who have trouble with x content can clear it to see the story.

Objection: Being bad is not Square-Enix's fault. Dodge mechanics and both Titan Primals are simple.

Maybe not, but designing every encounter with cheap, over-powered "avoid this or die" attacks in lieu of forcing people to play their roles well like XI did is just as bad if not worse.

The lodestone hides peoples achievements by default and most people do not make their achievements viewable so its almost impossible to see how much of the playerbase has progressed on content.

Just because you have no problem dodging, doesn't mean other people don't. Go to youtube and look at any one of thousands of videos that CLEARLY show that there IS a huge problem with lag on that fight. You move out of the way, you're clear by a wide margin, and it still hits you. IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED if you care to even bother looking for it.

Bye.

OP said the game is to HARD.

lag =/= hard

it's pretty obvious SE is using some kind of weird system. in any other mmo I can macro instant abilities together. not this one.

I did Titan before getting a static. I'm not the best but after doing it repeatedly I wouldn't get hit by anything.
Titan is all about memorization and muscle memory. Not the best design, but I don't mind it once in a while.

My connection isn't very reliable either. When it's good, you can dance in the plumes for a while before running out.
When it's not, a millisecond more reaction time would mean getting hit. Still, you can compensate for that, it's just a pain.

I'm not going to applaud Titan's fight design. I think dodging the floor and linear one shot mechanics are cheap.
That's not to say I don't enjoy the fight. I do it for fun all the time. I join people in PF just to help them out.
If all the fights are like that, I wouldn't like it. Thankfully they're not. People just make a big deal of it cause they get stuck there.

However, there's a lot to be said for the sense of accomplishments walls like Titan bring to end-game.
It could be better done as a fight, but the function is the same.
Like I said, I did Titan before being in a static and it was tough. When I got it down, it felt great. I felt a sense of accomplishment.
When helping people do it, they're always so ecstatic if it's their first kill. It's even moreso if they use VOIP.
I think that's a great part of playing an MMO, and honestly not many fights give that sense.

So I think Titan is pretty has a pretty good place.

You don't really need to buy Titan runs to win anyway. First time doing Titan HM got me landslided on the first minutes, watch the base floor until the fight concludes. Manages to win and get the loot anyway. I did the run with DF. Yes, I'm a bad player and lucky one at that

Why do people like you even play video games?
