Revenge of the Round Arena!

[Moomba33]

The problem with Steps was that it took longer than everything else in trial roulette. Coupled with the high chance of failing with new people in the party it meant that veterans would abandon it instantly when they got it in roulette so new players wouldn't even get a chance to try.
I wonder if it would have done better in MS roulette since it'd be more comparable time wise...though then we'd run into a problem where it's likely that not a lot of people geared enough to get into Steps ran MS roulette at the time.

I liked the fight myself. Even post nerf it's at least something really different compared to most trials in the game.

I doubt we'll ever see a truly difficult main story boss in XIV. With the single players games you are free to try things as many times as you like without worrying about others getting frustrated and leaving. And as turned based games they're more about setup and strategy with less skill needed on execution.
