Take it easy on the Nerfing :/

Unfortunately, not all people want to work at and achieve things in a video game. I myself is a casual gamer, only play about 6 hours a week, but I also want to progress the story, because I love Final Fantasy.

I am a casual, hardcore gamer. I play this game casually, as in at my own pace. That does not mean I enjoy easy content. This is an mmo , not a single-player game. Single player games have the options for easy - normal -hard because they are designed for everyone's play style. An mmo, isusually built to have content for various types of players, but not all content is usually done by all those players. Some will ignore Triad in this game, some ignore coils, some ignore ex primals, some will ignore chocobo raising/racing, etc etc. SE has attempted to step up the "normal mode" difficulty and force people to actually work together with Chrysalis and SoF, unfortunately, keeper being 4-man does not prepare people for this, and chrysalis you are able to carry someone. That doesn't help players gain the skill they need to work together for success. Thus, steps becomes a roadblock for those playing as though they are playing a single player game.

I thoroughly enjoyed SoF, but I understand why it needed to be made easier. This game has never had a storyline quest that was difficult since beta (they nerfed solo quests in beta and made me cry). Every story quest should have been challenging in some way. Otherwise all these players that do not do coils or ex-primals simply cannot work well enough with others for a battle that relies on everyone. The new "HM" primals in the story are not able to prepare people for this as they are all designed to be easier then Titan HM and you can be carried through all of them.
