How I wish Eureka was

[Sigma-Astra]

I don't believe this. I've seen way too much complaining about PUGs, especially 07 and up, to believe even easier savage is accessible for all. I notice a lot that people who do savage seem to really underrate their skill and overrate the easiness of content in this game, which makes it hard for them to accurately comment on how hard something is for people not in their cohort.

If were talking about Guardian and God Kefka here, well, that's the point. They're mimicking what happened with the last Savage Tier. You have the first two fights somewhat challenging to get your feet wet, they're not super easy, but they're not insanely difficult either. And then, you have the last two fights that spike up the difficulty for the ones who really want that harder challenge, especially for the weapon. Most of the Savage fights just rehash what the game already has taught you in terms of mechanics. The thing that has most people that are stuck on Guardian is Virus...because only a few people remember Allagan Rot from Coil. It also uses the "finger cursor" mechanic from Argath coupled with another mechanic that doesn't want you to move. It's all just another song & dance pattern that you need to memorize.

God Kefka's difficulty is mimicking Neo Ex-Death which is fair, you get a weapon out of the fight. It's fair to expect a stronger difficulty and a lot of effort for the best ilvl weapon so far at endgame. I don't think my static will get to God Kefka which is fine, getting through Guardian would be a surprise and achievement enough because that's more than I thought we'd get through.

But, again, the game isn't preventing you from trying Savage, only yourself by saying that you can't do it.
