It was worked out that you had about 0.2 secs to react to lock out his 2hrs, if one person was off (paticularly a WHM or RDM) it would take forever or insta wipe, I have heard of ppl getting AV to 2% then Benediction, fun, and when he uses chainspell isnt it meteor spam? The devs said AV was the best mob they made, and if Tanaka was still incharge here, he would prolly make a grand return.

I really wouldn't mind 4hr raids they could have the best of the best gear that not even materia gear could beat for the hardcore crowd, it would be easily scalable with softcore and midcore raids and dungeons, which is the key, softcore content offers weaker gear, midcore is a little better and hardcore is the absolute best, take FFXI's relic gear, it cost over 200m or 2yrs never missing a Dynamis run to get, but it was worth it (thats before it was nerfed so anyone can get it) perhaps it was a little too much, but a similar system that takes atleast 6 months to get the best gear for the hardcores would be good.

No one would force you to do this, just if you felt more hardcore you can. Also on the crystal tower, I really hope its a Nyzul style raid, I loved Nyzul and if a similar raid was here I would live there
