So how come The Great Hunt can't be unsynced?

I mean to be fair it is Monster Hunter. I can't imagine the team at Capcom would have been happy with the idea that you could eventually cheese their contribution to FF14, particularly given the brutally hard nature of the game it was based on. I can pretty well imagine Capcom citing brand integrity or some other excuse when the idea for the cross over was pitched, because there's no other logical reason why this extreme in particular can't be cheesed.

I don't know, I mean difficulty in those games scale. Like with Rathalos for example, when you first encounter it in MHW, even in low rank you're like "oh damn it's Rathalos" but then later when you're kitted out in fully upgraded rarity 8 armour with an augmented rarity 8 weapon, you can stomp that same low rank Rathalos in like a minute. It's not completely out there to be able to be able to do something similar with the crossover.

I'm split. One half of me would like to actually be able to play it without failing every time because I can't into his telegraphing, and the other smiles knowing those female panties will forever be out the reach of attention seekers who want to afk in the skimpiest thing available.

My guess is that, given how long it took to have it realized, they want to retain the challenge. And the spaghetti code wouldn't allow unsync.

In a few months when Iceborn comes out you'll see MHW players 'unsync' their older challenging content, too.
For example Behemoth extreme in rarity 9 and 10 gear. So I don't see the point.

And *I* feel like you should be able to do *all* content unsynced, Alliance raids included. Give more options, not less.

If you want to do content & be rewarded for said content, learn the content.
I don't see how it's fun going into content where the hardest thing that needs to be done is get the group together in the partyfinder.

I play MHW so I'm aware. (Very excited for the Hunting Horn changes.) That doesn't change the fact that companies often set out odd demands for their brands when featured alongside other products that they'd never adhere to on their own.
And just for clarification I'm 100% down for the ability to unsync this. It's just I can also 100% see Capcom being the reason behind this because, again, companies are weird when other companies handle their products.

People can always get the normal version.

As a Monster Hunter fan I've wanted the Rathalos mount since I saw it was in the game, but only recently felt confident enough to actually attempt the EX fight. The only problem is I have pretty bad anxiety, and doing PF groups stresses me out a lot because I don't know the people. I did it about a month ago with a few friends on the same data center and we managed to complete it twice in like 20 attempts, but that's obviously not very fun. I used PF the other day to get a group together and got 3 clears in 3 attempts, but I was so stressed the entire time because at least one person said they'd just leave if we wiped even once. And duty finder isn't an option, I tried that, and people went in without even knowing what to do.

I figured when ShB came it could be done unsynced and my (less skilled) friends would have an easier time doing it with me, but it's pretty disheartening to see it's still the same as it was. The idea of doing it 50 times just to get enough scales to buy it outright exhausts me just to think about it.

I like how the fight is because it's very much like MH compared to the rest of the content in this game, so it makes it a really neat crossover. But even in MH you can do things with 4 people or you can do them solo. The multiplayer experience in MH is also very much like in this fight, where everyone else dies and I fail the fight despite never dying at all.

Are they really never going to let those ones be done unsynced?

To Preserve the Challenge as it was intended to be played.
And if you really are a Monster Hunter fan, you should want that Challenge to stay, regardless of Anxiety and how many times you'd have to attempt it.

Grinding is exhausting...but eventually beating that grind is why it feels so Rewarding.

I feel like if that were the case, most content would never be doable unsynced. Also: it's really not even that challenging. I'm not trying to sound like some elitist idiot or anything, it's just that it feels way less complex than some other 'challenging fights'. Maybe it's just because I'm familiar with it from MHW.

I think it's a special case when its the MHW collab content, but that's only because it's to emulate the MHW feeling.

But this isn't low rank, this is high/G rank.
