Gaining Access to Flight

Thanks for your reply, Vidu. You don't understand my situation exactly, but close enough. And your advice is kind and sound. And will, I believe, be helpful to me.

So, yeah, thanks.

RokkuEkkusu, I'm not sure where that 'you have difficulty working with other players' idea came from. Higher up in the post somewhere someone confused my having a problem with most of the dungeons with having a problem with other players. In reality, I have no problem with other players at all. It's just the dungeon mechanics that are a problem for me. And not always, just most of the time.

Thanks for your reply, though.

Just as a head's up- there aren't just dungeons involved with the MSQ. You will have three 8-man trials to do as well (with a 4th being added as part of the patch 5.3 MSQ).

Trials cannot be completed with the Trust system. You will need to join a party of players to complete them.

You could consider watching some guides on YouTube, OP, if mechanics are particularly frustrating. There's usually a good few guides which are easy to follow and understand, and of course, you can watch it many times over to try and get it to stick in your head. It's not the same as actually doing the dungeon, of course, but I've found visual guides to be quite valuable, in addition to checking up rotations for whatever job I'm doing. I'm by no means perfect, but by and large I pootle through. You can too! Just find what works for you and aim to stick with it and improve. Good luck!

Excellent advice, Ceridwenae. I have found one or two Youtube content makers focusing on FFXIV dungeons. One in particular that I think is great. I'll use her guide for the fights as they come up and eventually get through it.

I know how these things work. It's just that, now that I'm older, my hand/eye coordination isn't the same as when I was younger. And my fingers don't always do what I tell them to immediately.

Thank you.

Same for me but the overall community is great. Most are helpful and patient, especially if you tell them it's your first time in an instance.

Not certain what system you're using to play, but something that can help with avoiding mechanics is to turn off other player battle effects. It improves your FPS and allows you to see things more clearly.
