Really...? I was good with the whole fight after 14 practice tries. And it only took 14 cuz I had to find a group that could get to phase 4 consistently enough for me to practice that too lol. Oh well, everyone has different learning speeds and I'm sure these players have become much more skilled at this game as a result of this struggle and should be able to learn hard content a lot easier in the future.

Crazy.
In my FC, we provide free T9 carry if people are available (FC members only, of course).
Its not that hard, especially now with over-gear and echo.

8mil does sound expensive yes. I see shouts on our server offering the carry for 1mil-1.5mil (but cannot lot drops).
Basically groups carry you for your 100 sol and a shot at gearing THEIR alt classes. Earning gil and progressing THIER Zodiac grind, whilst also gearing is a damn sweet deal for the carriers, compared to a t9 clear.

BUT obviously beating t9 opens FCoB, which means access to more weekly content for the carried person, and lets face it t10 and t11 are very easy, so it also opens opportunity for dreadworm gear. This to me is worth 1mil (not that I bought my win), but not 8mil.

Don't understand either. So you buy the T9 clear, to unlock FCOB only to realize you have no group to do that with either and have even less chance of clearing it than you did T9

Nah not at all, t10 and 11 are very easy.

I beat t10 second time trying with a full pug training party on PF, and t11 took me about 3 pug training parties to beat. The early FCoB turns are a joke, compared to t9, and offer very good loot.
But beyond that yes, you will need a static.

Final coil would not be solo tanked, it's solo healed. A group on our server solo healed t13 (said it's NOT worth it at all though) and solo healed and solo tanked t12. I also know solo healing t10-12 is a thing.

OP, I know how you feel. Believe me I do. I have been in so many DF groups for T9 it's not even funny. I even got the crushing defeat of getting Nael to 2% HP and wiping.... TWICE. But just last weekend, I managed to get a truly uber party and I managed to beat it. Was I carried? Maybe I was, but I did live through the most of the fight and the scholar who was healing with me died twice and I died once because the MT led me to the wrong side of the arena when I got the Divebomb mark and I got a cauterize to the face as I was running to the other side >.>; But we won... and I have yet to go into final coil... I really do need to start that. Oddly enough it looks easier on the videos >.>;

Well your a kitty, I'm in a kitty only FC, And we got past Golems, on our 1st try as a FC last week. sadly your not on Balmung.

We do raids 3 times a week.
Really I recommend finding a progression FC, Not a FCoB FC.
Also mumble helps and if you are on PS3/4 there is a Free version for phones.

Been playing since 1.0 and still cant get further than T2. I would love to see the story that is in there since it pertains to the fall of Dalamud. I really want to know more about what happened to Louisioux since he did so much for us in 1.0... It's not that I cant do it, I just cant get people to let me run with them when I'm honest and say I've never beaten it. People just start leaving. And no, I'm the highest leveled chr in my FC and the rest have no desire to even try.
