Chaotic Alliance Raid is the best content this game has ever had

[Havenchild]

I just want to go out of my way and say that I really enjoyed Cloud of Darkness Chaotic Alliance Raid, its cool having farmable content without lockouts that give real gear and really good cosmetics as well, its cool getting to play with so many people and enjoying in the chaos of it all, the clear felt very rewarding and I cant wait to run this content more.

Please make more Chaotic Alliance Raids, one based on Ivalice would be my pick. Thanks!

I would concur that it is some of the best farmable content in the game so far. It's challenging and yet still overall fun. The farm / clear parties also seem to be more consistent than I expected from my experience and it actually rewards helping others get their clears too by rewarding more tokens. It feels like it will have a decent amount of shelf life especially if you are aiming for the cloud mount.

Most of the critics are either about :
- how it's not what was sold in the first place,
- how the reward design make it looks like something to get the casual to try harder content, but throwing casuals in Savage is plain stupid, raiders are not happy to have to deal with casual that don't have the lvl (and I don't mean that as a critic to the raiders), and casuals are not happy they're not
- how the first time bonus is badly designed (From what I understood, you get a bonus only if everyone in the raid is a first timer. Anyone that already got downed the raid remove the reward for everyone, which is the opposite of a bonus).
- the calendar : we've been in a drought of content for years now, and it's the 3rd content in a row aimed at the same demographic, in an ideal world, we should have content for everyone at each patch, but that's not the case, so people get very frustrated with that.

In the end, I agree with you, Chaotic should continue. Just release other content alongside that.

It was sold exactly as what it is. A 24man boss raid, with extreme level difficulty. The overall mechanics are easy to the fight and things we have all been introduced to in even normal raids. The layer of having to pvp 24 people ups the anti but the reclears are alot more consistent and clean.

You also still get drops, 2 Clouddark Demimateria I, and 10-15 Clouddark Demimateria II for every clear but you get a +1 to Demimateria II for every bonus in party and a random reward of +1 to Demimateria I to people at a chance. Basically it rewards people for helping people clear.
