4.3 is amazing

Eh, i kind of don't like the raid though. I mean, it's way too movement heavy for what it is. I think I know why SE added more movement to blm, and more mobility to AST now, but my first experience wasn't really all that fun even with helpful people telling us everything about the raid. We ended up running out of time. I notice in general they seem to demand a lot more movement and placing in casual content this time, or at least it feels like it.

Yes, but the raid is NEW. And it's tuesday, the same day everyone runs their raid resets. So you will get a mix of people who know their job and just want to be carried. This is how the raid should always be like before the fun gets sucked out of it by guides and tools. So if movement is the solution to keeping it fun, more please.

However movement requirements will screw-ver players on high latency connections. The game may operate on 3 second ticks, but it sure doesn't for movement. Movement is more like half second ticks. So Japan can deal with half second ticks, but all of NA will never be able to as under perfect conditions, you will only hit 200ms from west-to-east coast.

This is why some players tend to get clipped by AOE's more than others. On their screen, they've avoided the AOE, but the server says they haven't. Point of interest. Play Titan Extreme solo, and just try to avoid the AOE's. You'll find that you may clear an AOE, but the game will still throw you off because you hesitated, or you started and canceled a cast while you moved.

Anyway, no nerfs. The only thing I want to see maybe adjusted is

That prime number list from the Crude Scrawling to stick to the screen during that fight if you read it.

Not that it was needed, but you don't have a lot of time to think about it.

Its not that it's new, it just feels weird. Like the mechanics are easier in someways, but the fight seems a lot more tedious since its hard to full wipe. In my run we actually had to tell people to wipe because they could survive the mechanics but couldn't budge the hp bar. so you just wasted time not dying and not recovering or denting the boss's HP. The end boss seemed to have absurd level of HP, and the raise sickness just cripples your damage and healing after a while, so resetting becomes an actual, valid strategy.

I don't think it needs to be nerfed, its actually useless. You can get 360 gear for alts much easier through 350 crafted trade ins with no weekly limit, and you can get tokens via hunts same. So it's not required at all.

Final boss has a mechanic that instantly gets rid of about 35-40% of his health.

Yeah, you have to get him to add phase and then pass it, but even then its still a very long fight.

To be fair,

it's a perfectly hilarious way of referencing the original Yiazmat.
