The disapointment that is Alexander

^ VitalSuit: But it gave you a good indication of how big bahamut is. I remember being awed by the size of his hand and being excited as hell for the next installment in the raid. Can you honestly say that the arena of A4 is in anyway comparable?

What does this mean? Can you expand on "artificial difficulty?"

For A1S at least that the majority of the difficulty is the dps requirement - and while it is a legitimately difficult, the reason I call it artificial is because it doesn't have to do with the number of mechanics or their execution but just the raw numbers. You could nerf the mechanics to hell and back but most would struggle still to beat the fight because it's all about the dps. Meanwhile, for lack of a better word, more organic difficulty would be more akin to previous raids which had a nice mix of mechanics and dps checks to make them difficult.
