Rathalos EX

It's a lot of fun but agree the hit boxes are terrible and the wonky netcode, plus just about every single person doing it at the same time resulting in weird lag for many of my group, results in a lot of unnecessary deaths.

This. It's pretty awesome getting to see good 'ol Rath again, but FFXIV isn't designed very... well for this sort of combat. There's random bits of lag in the instance and that'll definitely get you killed, hitboxes are also fairly unreliable.

In a game like MH where you can actually dodge/block, a fight like this is fine. You can't reliably dodge here. You can strategically run to a safe spot, but I've been clear of attacks and still gotten hit by them. So, I often find myself holding my breath or wincing whenever I have to dodge anything 'cause I just don't know if I'll make it out or not, despite knowing what to do.

Overall, the fight's fun - I've just never been a fan of XIV's server latency.
