    The JP community is well aware that you don't dare use DF for EX or harder until you know the content cold. I'd be curious to know how they've managed to socialize that to all their new folks.

    I can watch videos until I'm blue in the face and it'll be a complete waste of time. I have to at least get through the first few mechanics before I have enough context to make sense of what's going on. Same applies for every arena swap. Even with context I much prefer a written guide since videos are very rigid in how you consume them and reserve videos only when positioning or timing is unclear.

    OTOH I'd never queue for synced EX or harder unless I was with people I know and know my abilities/limitations.
