Please scale the difficulty of Royal Menagerie

[Lambdafish]

It's not harder then previous story elements. really.

In slight defence of the OP, while its not any harder than previous story elements, it is more unforgiving. It assumes that people paid attention in XIV class and know how to follow basic mechanics that were on the story mode syllabus. There is nothing wrong with the royal menagerie, the fault lies with the lack of punishment earlier in the semester for not engaging with learning said mechanics.

I'm sorry, but unforgiving would be being unable to rez people after them falling off, like in Leviathan.
(This is the one thing that made Sophex really easy, tbh. Derp and fall off? No problem!)
This fight is actually pretty forgiving of screw ups, and has few dps checks (protostar is very easy if you have semi awake dps , and falling platforms CAN kill you... if you're really, REALLY slow).

It really boils down to people being used to not following mechanics, mindlessly hitting the boss and STILL coming out victorious - which is not something you can do with this fight.
