Why I have no interest in Coils more specifically, T9.

[OMEGA_HACK]

So the point was missed entirely, and was instead filled with "Do you even game bro?" type comments. Yes I've been playing MMOs since EVERQUEST VANILLA, and you want to talk about challenges? The older MMOs had challenges however everyone could clear it and it was fun. FFXIV has challenges Coil is a challenge (if you say its not then you are lying to yourself or just trying to make your epeen bigger) From a purely DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARD Coils are poorly designed. They tried to make content that was very similar to FFXI mechanics, the only problem is that FFXI the combat was much slower as you had many things to do (spells and the like) it was more tactical and made you think. FFXIV tries to do this however the combat is much faster paced and typing to other players to get information to one another (so you can play as a TEAM, in an ONLINE GAME, with OTHER PEOPLE you MAY NOT KNOW) is not reliably possible, which in turn just about requires you to the VC option. Why do you think 90% of all statics require: TeamSpeak, Ventrillo, Mumble, PS4 Chat...Its because its become essential to clearing the harder content. When you can have someone calling moves it makes it to where everything can perform better and faster as you don't have to pay as much attention to said moves (in terms of looking out for it).

Do I want Endgame content to be easier? No! No, I do not. Do I want it to be developed better? YES! One of two things should happen in this game to excuse itself from its poor Endgame development: 1) Add native VC features that work cross platform to merge both PC and console players better in Endgame or 2) Content needs to be developed with CHAT BASED COMMUNICATION IN MIND. (What I mean by this is Move B no longer begins as move A is at 85%) They need to program fights with a chat-based delay between things so people can communicate, as it stands now in the newer coils there is no time in which to communicate effectively through text based chat.

Final note before, I challenge anyone who says content doesn't need to be VC'd to clear easily: When Alexander comes out I CHALLENGE you to not use your Voice Chat option, instead rely only on a text based chat. If you can clear that content without any frustration that I will redact all my comments about VC, but I doubt you will be able to do it easily, its why you use VC to begin with.

Edit: FFXIV Coils are as to Party Play Expert mode on Rock Band. There is no difference between the two, both require you to memorize and hit the notes so to speak, again poor development.
