I feel like raiding is pointless in this game

[MuseTraveller]

-Raid storylines sans Coil have been pretty mediocre. Why can't we have a raid with actual MSQ relevance? Normal Mode means everyone can see it, so where's the problem? This point admittedly has less to do with Savage and more to do with raids as a whole.

That's my personal issue. I like feeling immersed into the world. Alex felt like it's there and not part of the MSQ. It made no difference if I finished it or not. Coils felt like I'm solving unfinished things from 1.0 and saving Eorzea from another calamity. I felt genuinely eager to see what is next. Gear and music felt very spot on so that was another plus.

Omega gives me the Alex vibe so far. It just feels there and not really relative to Eorzea. Omaga wants to test us else it will destroy the world? Yeah cool story bro, maybe you can show us how and why or show us different MSQ outcomes since you manipulate time and all that jazz? >.>;
Maybe in the future but I'm not holding my breath.
I wish it was handled more like Chrono Trigger where we actually see Omega's future if we fail so we have a better motivation to succeed and gradually see the bad future change with each progression? I don't know.

Yes, challenge is a great thing but personally, I like feeling like my victory will matter for the world I play in.

What made you think Omega can manipulate time? The raid happens in a digital environment using information he's obtained by sitting on Hydaelyn for thousands of years and interacting with the Allagans. Omega at least has more ties to the MSQ than Alex did, just because it's expanding on Midgardsormr's backstory.

I think it was stated it manipulates time and space? I think space rather than time, my bad there. Still, so far feels like it will be more of a - fight various FF bosses than have direct connection to the MSQ. It's too early to say and I don't want to jump the gun. It's just the vibe I get from it so far.

Omega is capable of generating monsters at cost to itself, and it only does so in order to find ways to better itself hence why it uses a digital dimension for testing to determine what is best to create before committing. Due to its range of creation it could flood the world with monsters to kill off the people of the world, which is the threat it is using to spur the player to ramp it up in facing Omega.

Alexander was the one capable of manipulating time and space, in fact in A12 you went into the past to save the past version of yourself from being killed during the battle inside Alexander's pocket dimension. Alexander had less direct connection to the MSQ, likely done so intentionally by Alexander itself until the situation was ready for it to be sealed inside its moment of time to avoid being a threat to the world.
