So unless you're comfortable doing voice, you're basically having to split focus between two separate devices in real time. If you're doing voice, using the phone app works ok but requiring Discord feels like a lock out to a bunch console people who have no idea what that even is--which incidently has nothing to do with their skill level. I never heard of it until I started playing this (FF14 is my first real MMO) and I have no question as to my own competency.

I remember doing the Emergency Fate in Diadem successfully at least twice (I didnt actually go that often so that number is actually fairly significant considering i probably went about 4-5 times while it was relevant) and all we did was do a run down in shout before we entered. I realize BA has more bells and whistles attached but I feel like calling out intent and getting a interested group started within a given instance would be just as easy as trying to coordinate everything outside of it and then attempt to do the content with no outside influence. I'm not to Hydatos yet but when I am and I feel like trying BA then I'll probably try BA. Sorry in advance?
You'll be horribly disappointed then. BA is nothing like the diadem emergency mission
The vast majority of people have absolutely no interest in it as well. Trying to organize inside the instance won't even get you a full party

For an unorganized group that doesn't come in pre-prepared with logos actions, structured parties, and strategy Even making it to the first boss is seemingly near impossible and your only reward is being de-leveled for trying
