FF14 Endgame?

[Sotaris]

I read about ultimate modes that are supposed to be hard, but from looking videos it’s just circle arenas where you dodge things for 15 minutes while doing your rotation?

I have not done the ultimate myself but I'm pretty sure they harder than what you're saying.

No that's pretty much it (though blind prog does make things more interesting)
It's an endurance test. And the hardest part is making sure you, and the rest of your team is consistent. The rest is just "keep your attention span clear while going to where you need to be"

Though there are a few novel interactions with mechanics that isn't just about dodging. (Awakening in UwU, Nisi movements etc)

But xiv has a problem with their raid fights being aalllll dances. (They do dance fights well, but it's just the same kind of fight every time. Probably an engine limitation.)

To answer OP, no. No, we do not have traditional raids. The dev team focus all their time on boss designs for endgame. Essential all of the battle endgame in this game are boss fights focused on 8-15 minute fights with varying intensity
