How does FFXIV differ from other Japanese MMOs?

[Codek]

This game tends to be a more fast paced and reactionary based game play. They tend to be more used to the style of complex algorithms of mechanics. Something that usually required long hours of experimentation and theory crafting among a community to crack (kind of like a big puzzle to them).

In general, the complex approach can be more fun, but when more people get involved then it takes less time for everything to just wind down to a guide on what to do.

Seeing as how Titan was the first bit of reactionary difficulty for many players...

What would a more JP Titan look like? Would it rely more on gaols and defenses the players need to get around?

It would require more mechanics with resource management and maintaining the resources to survive the fight. Maybe using ice to slow attack speed so tanks can survive. Gaols would just be a mechanic that could diminish the raids ability to keep ice up. Also potentially a wall to stop players from getting punted off. Players will decide during the fight who they should break out of gaol and whose should stay to act as a barrier.
