i created an account just to point out how HORRIBLE this quest is

Well, since you went through the trouble of making an account, you might as well go through the trouble of being a bit more constructive about it?

If you tell the devs what you didn't like about it, and what you liked in other quests, they may be better able to design appealing quests in the future.

You Are Right. I suggest they remove it altogether. I cant believe it made it this far, this quest is how old? 6 Years? A simple google search will show how much disdain there is for this quest.
The Win Condition is extremely vague ( and you have to redo the first "battle" everytime you fail) Lets not even start on how absolutely stupid it is that you have to just run around like an idiot killing things that get rezzed for a few minutes.
The "clickable icon" which supposedly exists, is invisible. If there are settings you have to change to make it visible, thats even worse. If its invisible because your settings are too high(maybe?) also, still horrible.
Upon searching and seeing everyone elses horrible experiences with this event many people suggest this link https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/w..._for_One_World
The Tactic of "Do not recklessly attack anyone during this phase, as it draws unneeded enmity. Defeat the Warriors only when they are specifically focused on you or Alisaie; your allies will eventually defeat the others." Is by all means not fun, i thought this game was all about ABC? hardly fits into that.
So now, you manage to not get any aggro by praying that the horrific AI handles that, and then you pray no one aggros on you when its your turn to start spam clicking the invisible object, if they do, you kill them, then start spamming the invisible object while praying they dont get rezzed and then aggro on you interrupting you, while you have hopefully started to interact with the invisible object. Then on the third and final click, they start somehow burning alisae to the ground while you continue to go back to praying, but this time with a time limit on how long you have to click the invisible object.

From that link you posted:

Once Urianger joins the fray, you must place all your focus on giving Aether to Alisaie. To do this, interact with and charge the Blade of Light whenever it appears in front of her. Note that this is an interactable object immediately in front of Allisaie that you must click on, not on Alisaie directly. Once interacted with, it will disappear for a time as the other Scions contribute their Aether in turn, then reappear for you to click on once more.

Are you doing this when it appears? Are you expecting it to be there at all times? It only appears at certain points during the fight.

And "always be casting" applies when you are trying to fight things but not necessarily these scripted battles. They are potentially more tactical. In any case, from memory, the Warrior tends to be on you quite aggressively so you usually have to defeat him before you can interact with the blade to charge it.

yes i waited for myself to be called on for it to be my turn to see if it was ever there. never saw it, just knew it was my time to start spam clicking.

At any rate, its done now, just not sure if ill be finishing the game. See how i feel in a couple days. Im catching myself typing here and just clicking through things in the game on the other monitor, lol. Not a good sign for me.
