I realize now that you say this, but ifrit HM and Titan HM (as well as Garuda hm) are optional and were tuned higher than the other hard mode fights of the era, they were strictly required for relic at their onset and the other trials like thornmarch, leviathan, etc are much more in line with difficulty of future hard modes. MSQ trials and dungeons tend to be easier to access for the majority while optional content like coil and EX are for the people pushing themselves and are not a viable gear path while leveling. I wish you luck in your endeavor to find people willing to do any of this content sync’d as the majority prefer to run this at max level to steamroll it quickly.
