Square Enix is running out of ideas for raids

[Skiros]

It still cheapens the own experience. Watching other streamers clear the content seeing the machanics beforehand is just not everyones thing. I do not judge as plenty people watch other raiding streams and/or guides once they are out.
I'm not saying this is the best tier ever, far from it it does have it's issues but I find those fights fun nonetheless at least from what I've seen in the 2 hours I've been in yet. I migh change my opinion, I'm not saying the tier is good, I just withold my judgement until I've done and seen everything myself.

In the end the most fun raids are ultimates anyway. Then again I really liked E8S too.

OK, but that is a moot point because Titan and Halicarnassus were just in every way more creative and interesting than P3S/P4S, blind prog or not. The fact that these two fights are capable of still capturing your interest despite you knowing the mechanics is indicative of SE's success in designing these two fights. They poured in creativity for these fights.

I just simply don't see that in the latest tier. This doesn't change whether it's blind or not. Most of the mechanics in P1S-P3S are pretty much trivial and repetitions of past tiers. Like quickmarch, O6S redux, limit cut dashes in P3S. We pretty much are able to describe every single new mechanic as a past mechanic these days.

Oh right Halicarnassus I completely agree with. I loved this fight, I'm still sad that they haven't added a harder version of the sandslide gimmick into the Savage version.
Titan was okay in my book.

My only gripe with the current tier so far is the music, I don't like the music in the first two fights at all...

While I do think the music in 1 - 3 isn't bad (it reminds me of SMT: Strange Journey a lot, which is a plus), it's just not really what I look for in a raid. I want blood pumping music, some heavy ass drums, not a slow choir. It's a good song, it's just not a good raid song in my book. P4 is much better in that regard
