New 24 man raid

[ArkNova]

How well is the new raid? Does it have an interesting storyline? What does the gear look like? Are the new bosses fun? Is TGC in it!?!?

It doesn't mess around. Group I went with, took 5 tries to clear 1st boss (Mateaus) and had failed 6 times on 2nd boss when I had to leave due to gear.
What I can tell:

1st Boss:
Run to free corner when the floor fills with proximity markers
When ice spiral appears on the ground, pop all untargetable bubbles from the inside out, then kill targetable bubbles. Save for popping bubbles, DO NOT stand in the ice spiral.
When toads appear, kill fast. Run into bubbles to cleanse drowning stacks. If targeted by a line aoe that follows you, don't run it over the bubbles.
Ice sprite type adds spawn circle aoes around themselves when they die.

1st trash:
Three waves of Seeqs, Chocobos, and Mimics.
After Chocobo wave, RUN to avoid lethal Choco-Meteor proximity marker.

2nd Boss:
Narrow pillars fall. Insta-death. No ground marker, but you can tell how they're gonna fall by how he cuts them.
Central Pillar: DPS check add with lots of aoe
Sand orbs: Kill FAST to avoid aoe
When he jumps to the side of the arena, note which hand is glowing and go to the opposite side.
Hammerfall: Pull boss away. proximity damage.

(There's more, I'm sure, but we didn't get him under 25%)

Sounds exciting, have 6 more hours to go before I can get on

It has a weird part that splits the 3 parties up for literally no reason.

Not a fan.

(Edit: Literally no reason. There's no mobs to fight like in Crystal Tower...)

2nd boss is a real train wreck, really needs some tuning.

The first and third boss are easy, you'll need a wipe to figure out the mechanics. While two and the last boss are crazy. The second is all aoes while the last one is a messed up Simon says.

I actually found the last boss to be the easiest. No adds, just AOE ****storm, MOST of it easily avoided, though the one that's not does totally suck.

Boss 3: Most important things:
1: when he calls up the adds that are caged, one pty per add, try to stay to the inner edge of the cage, and use melee LB. You won't kill them fast enough if you don't.
2: Click on dark circles asap.

Boss 4: Most important thing:
When he says "I am Revelation." turn away if you get the eye with a no sign over it, get away from everyone else if you get the other.

Wiped the most on the second boss, 1 shot the final. The second boss is just is just crazy difficult with pugs at it's current state.

Just finished the raid for the first time. Died a lot but had fun, my only complaint is the audio dialog spam from the final boss during the fight.

FF12 is my favorite FF game. So the new raid makes me nerdgasm.
