Quick view on creator savage clears.

Except for Tonberry, every japanese world is over 10%. Chocobo is close to 30%

Not a single EU/NA world reached the 10% mark.

1st is Gilgemesh (NA) with 7.79%

and then it drops alot.

2nd is Odin (EU) with 4,74%

I've counted 40733 A12S Mounts. 75% of them are on JP worlds.



I got big eyes seeing the number of active players on Balmung.

Not surprising. The raiding community has been dying off since 3.0.

Dying off...?

The creator numbers are the highest numbers for a "current" raid tier ever. Raiding has never been bigger.

I think the most obvious thing to note here is that raiding is a lot more popular on JP than on EU/NA worlds. Likely cultural reasons. Either that or raiders on JP worlds are simply more successful so EU/NA doesn't make it to the stats.

i concur this, I was on tonberry with my g/f for a while the raiding scene is much more different. The jp community is way more organized, and not filled with trolling comments.

When i did some raids, no one did the blame game, everyone took responsibility as it was a group problem. No one singles anyone out for being the cause. Jp are more group centric then NA which we do childish blame game bs. Look at the 2 healer dps threads... you see none of that on jp side. yes they have trolls... but even they not as bad as NA ones.

What? You may want to look again. These are the highest totals we've ever seen for raiding. In fact, reddit approximated a 49% increase in clears since the last census. That is a staggering improvement. Not to mention, active player totals actually went up nearly 100k. If anything, raiding is more popular now than it's ever been.

Plus a lot of player took a break from FF while waiting for the expansion

Feels like NA/EU dragging the game down.
That's why we can't have nice raids.

Lol, I got my clear on the 13th of March. Just in time.....

Edit: also got the mount first try rolled 98 :3

[Vanitas]

Balmung pls.

They could split Balmung in half and the halves would still be some of the most populated worlds.

The raid clear rate was something I expected tbh, based on the interest in it on my server and these forums. People say raiding is dying because story isn't an incentive anymore but these rates are higher than Coil had at this point in the patch cycle. Maybe story mode actually works as encouragement to try raiding and as a practice method for the main mechanics.
