New Unreal is a an all around miserable experience.

I think seph unreal came at a bad timing imo. Nobody wants to do it atm since Savage is fresh atm. And at the same time, the punishing mechanics come very late into the fight (Da'at spreads and the untelegraphed spread AOEs, knockback spam, and the last adds phase). Still a fun fight but feels more exhausting to run than say Barb EX

All of the aoe's are heavily telegraphed. There is no untelegtaphed spread mechanic in sephirot.

For earth spike spread there is a distinct sound telegraph and visual light pulse. For da'at he visually pulls energy into his chest with a charging sound.

Then, of course, you have the “I’m always W, I need to be W or I’ll forget what to do!” type scuffles over clock spots…

that's why a macro is useful. It shows you positions

I guess this is the result when you tie synced extreme trial to casual rewards (mounts and minions)

You can get the Unreal mounts in a casual manner. Open up the Gil purse and buy it from the MB.

Pretty sure by "no telegraph' players are referring to there not being ground indicators of where the damage will be. This is pretty general, and common knowledge with players.

Useful for what? So the person complains that they can't be M1 because they only know how to do M2 when the only difference between those two is if you go to the southeast or southwest.

I liked the new Unreal. Made a new friend in the practice. It took a while, but just like everything else, it is doable.

People commonly dont understand one thing in this fight:
When there is no green/orange buff on you, it means that you DONT need to stand on orange or green sides, just stand together and get mit/shields, cause its a raid wide.

This fight in general has a lot of raid wides and its difficult content for healers especially. Tanks also have some harsh moments, but honestly nothing really special for dps here.

Not all. We refer to some like Barb's cleaves as telegraphing with their animations. Not all refer to the aoe indicators on the ground.

if you don't like it don't play it.

There are cases where people aren't familiar enough with fights to be switching spots much which happens, in which case people can adapt around it where possible which is kinda the point of being able to designate these positions before fighting. Having stuff like 4 people deliberately running into "M1"'s position is impossible when you have a macro because everyone else will have a designated spot too, and if they wanna all just ignore eachother and say "Nah I'm going west idc" It's just creating pointless conflict and the boss doesn't even have to lift a finger to make your party disband.

The fights should be against the boss, not amongst yourselves in party chat.

because a macro shows position and they can use it to check.
then again, NA don't use macros do they.
so how would you know how useful they are.

well, Her P1 are mostly telegraphs xD
if you act to the marker, you're probably dead
