FATEs desperately need a fix

[Chocolys]

I do a lot of fates solo (currently all the Stormblood ones). I have no issue about it. The only fates I skip when soloing are the 30 minutes ones with big boss, else everything is good to solo, at least with my faithful chocobo

However one thing annoying is the upscaled fates. There is no indicator on the map that a fate is upscaled, and the only way to know is to go check.
If it's a simple monsters fate, it's easy to guess by looking at the number of fate monsters presents.
If it's a boss fate, the only way to know is to start damaging it to see how fast you can lower its HP.
And in both cases you still need to move near the fate to check.

So I wish that fates would have an upscale indicator, something like a number (x) at the end of the fate name. So as to not waste my time to go for a Fate that will be too difficult to complete because of the upscale (and that still reward the same amount of Exp regardless of the upscale).

Same. I ignore Boss FATES with adds or local mobs that share the fate as draggro gets to be too much. Trash FATE's can be done solo with position right either way. Single Boss too though if it looks like they are going to take too long I just leave.

Something else I have noticed is if I start a FATE any passer by will usually stop and join in. At 60 5 regions, 10 FATE's is a million experience from achievements. After that it's more about opportunity. If I am there, fine. If not I don't seek them out.

FATE scaling idea

Now this is a good suggestion. A blue arrow up for scaled up FATE, a red arrow down for scaled down FATE. Next to their icons. No icon at all when it's just normal.
