Alexander Normal difficulty...

If they are really going to push the "casual core" and "midcore", you know, the people who raid only 1-2 times a week and don\\\\'t live their entire lives in the database, into the bucket that holds the non-raiders with Alexander HM difficulty they are not going to like what happens to sub numbers after the first month of Heavensward after everyone has facerolled their way through Alexander NM and 99.995% of players have nothing to do because Alex HM is now only for the people who do Mythic raiding in WoW. Blizzard hasn\\\\'t added multiple difficulty levels between faceroll and impossible in WoW raids just for the hell of it.

So..you think 99% ffxiv players care about end game raids? Really?

Well Yoshi said in that nico nico thing they are calling Alex Hard, heroic internally. I've never played WoW, but i'm guessing heroic isn't as hard as mythic.

Until this current expansion, Heroic was Mythic. They added a new, easier difficulty and just redid the naming structure. Essentially, what happened was:

Previous:
LFR: Baby-mode
Normal: Basic
Heroic: Hardcore

Current:
LFR: Baby-mode
Normal: Below basic
Heroic: Basic
Mythic: Hardcore
