The Other Side of The (Raid) Force

Sad things

If there was an option to go to a raid in which objetive was solely presenting the cutscenes and the story behind the battle, then there would be no reason at all for SE to ease a battle that was meant as a challenge, you know? No echo, no killing mechaics, no nerfs.

Thats precisely the approach of Alexander's normal and hard modes SE is going to adopt.
This is the selfsame difference between ifrit nm and ifrit extreme, or even shiva hm and shiva ex. Those solely interested in the story never really need to touch the extreme mode of either, while those who care for the gain would go for the later.

Whats wrong for them to have a real viable option?

Incorrect things

If you are under the impression that Alex NM is an obscenely simpme thing, only in place so you can get cutscenes, you are sorely mistaken. It has already stated that it is of compairable difficulty to an echoed coil...

You really think they should dedicate that many resources to nerfing the challanging content. When what you want is to essentially watch a youtube clip in game. I mean from what you described, that is pretty much what you want. You could be saving the money spent on the game and sub and just watching youtube or streams for that.

You're an idiot who can't read. He actually specifically stated he DOESN'T want nerfs. gg. He's SAYING that having multiple options for different playstyles need to exist so both hardcore players and casuals can be happy and that more hard content should have that option.

Yes and it has been stated that Alex normal will be between WoD difficulty and final coil. It is filling aniche for mid tier difficulty that Yoshi recognized as not being in game due to the forum posts asking for mid tier content. Alex normal isnt aimed at the herpderp face roller crowd, those un able to graps the basics of challenge will not be passing Alex normal. eg those who couldnt even manage the basic mechanics of steps of faith and cried for nerfs.

In reply, in that case easy content, of which there is much, much more of should be given a hard content with higher rewards also.

Taking past content patches over a 6 month period (2 patches) 6 dungeons, 2 HM primals, 2 lots of Hildibrand content, MSQ, 2 lots of moogle quests, whereas for mid tier, 2 extremes of the 2 HM primals and for Hard 1 raid.

Those who are only able to manage easy content get much, much more than the single hard raid. Yet that single piece of content that EVERYONE has access to you want to change.

Selfish much?
