New Unreal is a an all around miserable experience.

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.

Whoever complains about not getting their favorite position can leave. They either reserve the M2 role first or they suck it up and do the other role. The party strat doesn't revolve around these princesses.

[Lustre]

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

Truly prophetic

Never seen anybody do that. People use take whatever role. If they have super strong preferences, they nicely ask the favour to be a certain one, which is no problem to fix, but in general everybody just takes whatever and adjusts without further comments. People are way more flexible than you make them out to be,

In fairness to the OP, this iteration of Sephirot actually does seem to be worse than the original EX was back when it was current. The issue seems to be one of math. The ratio of damage dealt to maximum possible HP is less favorable than in the old EX. It's by no means insurmountable, but hoboy can you tell the difference.

Unreal Trials are EX level difficulty. They were always supposed to be. The design concept behind them is supposed to upgraded versions of the original Ex fights tuned to max level. It's supposed to be difficult, and it is no surprise that Sephirot is harder that Ultimate Weapon. At release Sephirot really did a number on groups in the Ex mode.

Unreal is supposed to be a little bit difficult?

It's literally the first week of the patch. Keep progging and keep up the practice, in no time you will get it. Some savage/extreme fights are not even that hard too bro.

It's like people have forgotten why we have Unreal to begin with!

Why didn't we have Garuda Unreal or Ifrit Unreal?

It's because they're specifically bringing back the "old hits". As in, the fights notorious for being hard even though they were EX trials. Padudu and Vrankyl are right, they're the same as before, just upscaled. They're just not the easy peasy crap that the devs sometimes add, they're the real EX trials that forced people to watch a guide and understand mechanics.

It's the quintessential way the devs have of telling anyone getting into EX difficulty content to Get Good.



BOY I can't wait for Zurvan Unreal. Skip Soar or Disband parties, here we go again

Unfortunately you won’t be able to skip soar, soar skip could only be done with a good party and with gear since EX trials never launch with the player at min ilvl, but unreal is specifically scaled to min ilvl, so I don’t think even with 8 gold parses you will be able to skip soar on zurvan unreal

But that only guarantees we'll see those parties...with 999 ilvl requirement.

Despite the ilv sync being set to i565 for Seph Unreal, some players are setting the ilv requirement in PF to i600-i610. Apparently, ilv determines how good players are at mechanics.

It determines whether the person is playing their main job and has been max level for more than two weeks. Both of which are good things when trying to clear or farm an extreme fight. I'm sure there are good reasons to be at item level 565-590, but I struggle to think of ones that make the person the best pick for a team.

Eh, Titan Unreal was harder. You can still clown the fuck out of Sephirot and beat it
