This is exactly why i left years ago... still a problem

The confusion probably stems from the fact that Ravana EX and Bismarck EX's questlines are grouped into the Warring Triad questline, as they are received from Unukalhai after starting the series; however, they are not necessary to complete to begin "When the Bough Wakes," the quest that unlocks the Sephirot fight. This may have been different at launch (I didn't start playing until SB), but all the old sources I can find indicate that you never needed to complete Ravana EX and Bismarck EX to unlock the rest of the Warring Triad quests.

This is not the game for you bro. keep moving.

Gotta do extremes when they're relevant if you want an easy time finding parties. If you intend to do them synced with their original difficulty. You missed the boat on this one by several years. Roulette is not the answer. Extremes are very punishing for mistakes and *have to* know the fight to clear it. The chance of you successfully completing a several year old Extreme in Duty Finder synced is very low.

No one does the synced version of Thok ast Thok (Extreme) when you can do it unsynced and kill him in a matter of seconds. There is also no "Extreme Roulette", so unless people specifically queue for this fight (they won't, there's no reason to), you'll never get in.

You're much better off in Party Finder. This fight is routinely part of Woundrous Tails, I see it posted in PF all the time. No one cares if you're new, the fight is face roll easy.

This is a horrible example to use for complaining about queue times.

[Stepjam]

I feel it's safe to assume you've never actually done an extreme trial. If you had, you would realize pretty fast why they aren't in standard roulette rotation. They require pretty high levels of precision and cooperation compared to normal mode trials, and they aren't something you can just face roll when sync'd. And expecting players to remember how to clear every single EX trial off the top of their heads isn't going to end well.

Tried queing up for Binding Coil Turn one two days ago and sat in a 1 and a half que before giving up. Its old content, don't expect people to being doing it often or at all.

You're much better off making a Party Finder group and hoping people join you there.

[geekgirl101]

If you wanna queue for something like that maybe check party finder to see if people queue for it there, otherwise you're at the mercy of either friends helping you out or hoping to find a party during peek hours through duty finder.

I paid for the 3 expansions might as well at least the the MSQ done, although the one dimensional characters and bad story telling is giving me PTSD too.

...

I was hoping they had fixed these issues over the years and maybe you or others had any tips on getting older content done.

Maybe the newer expansions have better story but Ishgard was dreadful drivel. I am going to start Stormblood next week, we shall see.

Oh yes. Quite. One dimensional Characters? A pity. Bad story telling? That just won't do. Dreadful drivel you say? Oh my, what a shame. /posh accent

Lmao. Puts on a haughty persona and puts down HWs story. Honestly just makes you look more like a contrarian than anything else.

As others have said, EX Queues go through Party Finder Typically. Definitely not the Roulette.
Also, older content, especially EX, has less people running it, because it can be run with smaller, under leveled parties if someone is grinding certain content.

[JWag12787]

There is also no "Extreme Roulette", so unless people specifically queue for this fight (they won't, there's no reason to), you'll never get in.

Didn't they unlock this in Shadowbringers after you complete THE TWINNING?
I doubt very many people use it BECAUSE of that, and they like to be choosey with their party, but I'm pretty sure it at least exists.
