Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Doge]

I hate the titan extreme fight, i always get hit by the first landslide and die. I don't understand this mechanic. First my fc leader says i am a scrub and now he says i should reconsider playing FFXIV. I am sad. Sorry i can't be as amazing as your healers or as good as you are at this game I'm going back to playing hello kitty island adventure.

All Titan Primal is actually the most fun and interesting fight in the game actually.

Difficult content is important for the health of the game, no matter why it's difficult, instant kill mechanics or not. Still, I do find myself wishing the fights were a bit easier. They are very stressful and I wonder where the game is heading. Next year: Leviathan super mega EXTREME! A ten hour fight and you can't screw up once or you DIE! I mean, some of us get a great sense of satisfaction when we beat these fights. Oh wait, did I say satisfaction? I mean relief. Relief that we won't have to do the fight again and can continue on with the story. Except... now someone in our FC needs it. Damn it. Here we go again. Better take my blood pressure meds

Guess you never played FFXI;

Yep I did play FFXI, hence my justified concern that we may see those kind of fights. I have mixed feelings about them. I like a challenge and it's exciting to win. On the other hand, after a while I'm just eager to get past them and move on. That's where I'm at with Garuda Extreme right now. It's no wonder so many people avoid the tank role. Fights like that are enormously stressful for a tank. Then every darn time I actually do everything perfect, someone else screws up. There are a lot of things that have to sync up just right to win these fights and one thing I totally call BS on is Yoshi saying that these fights would be hard but you'd be able to recover from mistakes. These fights are very unforgiving. You can't just be geared and play your role perfectly, 7 other people have to do so at the same time. Anyway we were very close. Maybe we'll try again tomorrow, although quite frankly I'm tired of seeing Garuda's face at this point

Edit: Oh and I know this thread is about Titan. I can only imagine how much fun that's going to be

The greatest moments of my video game career was the killing of these 2 NMs, back before the 2 hour time limit for AV, and not too long after the 2 hour limit was put in place for PW. If I could, I would go back and fight them all over again as they used to be.

But instant death mechanics with no window of opportunity to do anything about are lame. Titan knocking you off the side is the only part that grinds my gears, otherwise hes fine.
