The omega normal raids themselves only have 1 (one) mount, that that comes from O4. If I recall correctly, it's the same with O4S. And you are not guaranteed those mounts, you usually have to run those fights multiple times just to finally outroll other players. So that assessment that 10% of the player base have cleared it is completely wrong. I myself have not cleared O4S...doesn't mean I don't raid in Savage, I just haven't cleared that one fight which is O4S.

As for optional...I guess asking players in dungeons with the title 'Hard Mode' is asking too much, eh? Why challenge something even remotely difficult, like just a step-up from faceroll content, when players should be able to get by through hard mode dungeons as they do story mode dungeons, amirite?

Sorry...a little passive aggressive this morning. But hey, question for you. Were you amongst the crowd that thought Shinryu on Normal was too much for a story boss? I really should've just asked that question a couple posts ago.
