This. I beat T6 far faster then I did T5. So why do I see people still struggling with the early parts of T6? If there is actual "skill" in T5 and earlier content, why doesn't it just carry over for everyone?

Oh so your anecdotal evidence doesn't carry over to everyone? Brilliant you should publish a paper on that.
Also T6 is the introductory turn in Second coil while t5 is the final turn of the first one.

Yup thanks for agreeing with me. T6 is the *introductory* turn in SCoB , so it's funny to me how people with the "skills" to beat T5 can struggle so much in T6, and *introductory* turn.

Let me state that I'm not hardcore and do not have a static party - I've cleared all primal-ex and T6 so far so I'm very far from being "top-level / elite" or anything. There are people in my FC that have not cleared Garuda-EX yet. Do I think I'm more "skilled" than those players? - No, not at all. I just feel like I've spent more time in the game than they have. This is my point - whenever I've cleared content like titan-ex or t5 for example, it never feels like I gained "skill" - it simply feels like I just learned "the script" lol. I have absolutely no idea how long it will take me to beat Ramuh-EX, because I know it'll probably come down to having to learn another "script". I don't see how any "skill" I currently have will carry over into a new battle.

I will concede however that if you consider memorization a "skill" - then OK, that "skill" helps in FFXIV lol.
