New Unreal is a an all around miserable experience.

lol welcome to how extremes were back in 3.1 and 3.2. The devs actually expected the playerbase to be able to do mechanics back then. After midas they learned that the playerbase is actually terrible at this game and can't handle doing mechanics.

I can't wait until thordan extreme get's the unreal treatment.

The final part of that fight where 2-3 mechanics are going off at the same time will be glorious. I'm not a great player by any means but even I thought the Unreal Weapon fight wasn't too difficult, especially with the tank lb3 cheese during the final part, lol. I remember clearing SephiEX back during HW back when everyone went to the mid left or right during the tether/AoE phase during 2nd phase. Blew my mind when I saw people running to the front and sharing the small safe spot during that phase, lol.

Yeah I also remember going for that super small safe space, gotta keep that uptime lol.

Imagine the current playerbase playing the harder extremes and savages with how much more complex the jobs were back then

Ain’t no way you were mindlessly spamming broil and summoning seraph for every second raidwide back then

Right? I was surprised they chose to bring back seph for unreal because its the second hardest EX fight behind thordan imo. I probably cleared the fight around 100 times back in 3.2, it was an absolute blast back then with HW jobs. Some of the most fun I ever had playing FFXIV.

Jobs were only complex in heavensward, when they overtuned everything. Like, literally everything.

2.0 things were a lot less complex.

The 2.0 jobs were still far more complex than they are now as were the 4.0 jobs

Sure Midas Gordias and thordran EX were overturned tiers but the jobs still required far more to get the most out of them back then, and the mechanics were also harder

No, no they were not. 2.0 jobs were incredibly basic. Especially tanks and melee dps.

Only healers had some nuance, because of cleric stance, which everyone I knew at the time hated the delay of.

I liked 2.0 jobs because they were simpler. I could tank a fight and call out mechanics without worrying about messing up my rotation. I miss those days

To be fair I didn’t play tanks back then so you are probably right, my experience is mostly in healing and healers were definitely at their most complex in 2.0 and 3.0, though I at least remember the casters were quite complex back then, maybe not like 6.0 BLM but better than SMN and more than RDM
