What even is the purpose of all those non melee/blm jobs?

What is 30% of 50% of 100?

50% attempt, of those who attempt 30% complete is what the Japanese appears to say. So those are your basic numbers.

Unless its saying that about 70% of people who even load up a savage clear the entire thing, in brand new content no less. Google translate kinda implies that it *might* be saying that, I'll give you that. But Japanese has this pesky subject issue.

Anyhow, that would just be silly, so its clearly saying 30% of 50% of the total player base.

No, it's saying 30% of total, not 30% of half

全体の5割ぐらいの人は、プレイしてくださっていますね。
Around 50% of total people are playing.


4層までクリアしている方はもう少し少ないものの
Although, few people have completed the 4th floor.

で最新のレイドが終わっている人は、おおよそ全体の3割ぐらいです
The people who have completed the latest expansion raid is around 30% of total.


The Japanese is unclear, as Japanese often is. However, this would likely be total participants rather than playerbase, because the subject of the sentence its a part of is talking about participants. This is also the most likely reading of the text, because yours is not realistic.


We have two possibilities:

1. 50% of FFXIV's playerbase are attempting the latest savage raid, and 30% of those payers complete it. 30% of 50% of the playerbase (or 15% of the playerbase).

or

2. 50% of FFXIV's playerbase are attempting the latest savage raid, and 30% of the entire playerbase are completing it. Thats a 70%+ clear rate for the hardest content in the game right after its launched. If thats the case then ya'll need to get a grip, the content is easy as pie.

Of course, its not saying that, its way too high and would also contradict the fragment before it where it says that few people have cleared up to the 4th floor.

It's worth noting that Lalachievements, which is an aggregate collection tracker, that utilizes publicly available data via the lodestone, you can get an idea of current completion rates via savage mount ownership.

This is not a complete data set, as some lodestones are private, but better than arguing a number Yoshi P provided offhand in easily digestible chunks.

Yes, thats one of the places I got my original clearing estimates from.
