    You differentiate between the types as platform and non-platform, but really they both come down the same thing: pay attention and do the mechanics correctly, or fail.

    The difference really only comes into play much later, when everyone way out gears the fight, and may be able to just cheese through "non-platform primals" without bothering to do, or even know, the mechanics.

    imo if someone is unable to do the mechanics properly, they do not serve to clear the primal when it is current. Maybe unpopular, but that is my personal opinion.

    Having said that, by your definition, Ramuh Ex is not a platform primal, and in my experience of roulette, this is by far the hardest primal to pug. It requires a degree of co-ordination, people paying attention, and managing mechanics accordingly, and a large portion of the playerbase just seem incapabale of doing that. I reached a thousand mentor roulettes yesterday, and have only ever cleared Ramuh Ex once whenever it's put me in there.

    I guess for some people, but for me like titan I never die to mechanics in that fight, nor do many people I've ran it with death only comes from falling off the platform. Levitation you would think you are still in normal mood until the gates come off that actually makes it even an extreme, not that Ive done this fight much the ques for these arr primals are extremely long.

    With shiva she just has a ton of mechanics and I have seen quite a few parties abandon on her, are die to her mechanics, Thormarch is just a bunch of craziness but I find that more fun than say a titan because its not a you get knocked off and your done. And as I mention savage alexander doesn't have this feature and its suppose to be the hardest content in the game. I just don't see that they are the same thing, Id rather have a bunch of one hit kill mechanics than just every last new primal with some sort of falling off and your done mechanic, I dont mind a mix but all of them is just a bit overkill.

    (And I dont count any unsync primals I did as a clear, I want even take the horses from the old ones if its unsync so I agree with you on this, I only count the ones I did sync as actually clearing or deserving of the reward of that primal.)

    If you're falling off of Titan's platform, then your either failing a mechanic (landslide) or derping (walking off).

    A mentor stole my house, slapped me across the face, and raised my ping from 15 to 30. Literally unplayable.
