Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Bankai305]

I was someone who made fun of people who thought Titan HM is hard, EM is not fun. the timing on Extreme Mode is so tight that on my (pretty decent, i thought) connection avoiding weight of the land is basically a dice role. It's not fun because there's not really any skill involved. It's not like HM where you just have to memorize stuff. While some of the additions (like the double gaol) are clever, the instant death dodge mechanic is basically luck unless you live next to the server thanks to the nature of network latency and the FFXIV staff's refusal or inability to make stuff like this operate client side.

EM is EXACTLY like HM. All his moves are scripted. He'll never do anything unexpectedly. Memorize his pattern, and you can anticipate plumes if that's what's killing you. If you know when he's going to use plumes, there is no excuse for getting hit. All other moves/phases/egis everything is scripted, there is no element of surprise.
