I enjoyed Copied Factory quite a bit, but I won't deny it's an unforgiving raid to run blind and for what I feel is the wrong reasons. Primary reason being: Stormblood and Shadowbringers did a lot to standardize AoE indicators and this raid just seems to ignore all of them, with highly punishing consequences for not guessing the AoE that is coming immediately. A close second being that the boss fights are quite long.

For those who left it frustrated due to constant deaths: Give it time. As more players get geared up over the next couple weeks, the boss fights will become shorter and generally more forgiving.

I can see it. Am I the only one who found it really weird that nobody asked basic questions? Not even a "Who is this white-clad robot? Why are we following her into an unknown and hostile factory?" They talked about caution and hesitance to trust only after fighting a bunch of bosses together.
