The story was fine until Shiva where it took a nose dive into complete stupidity, had Ryne been forced into it by Eden because that is how we remembered Shiva being summoned, I would've like the story but what they did was pure contrivance and I hate it.

E5S - the only fight i've had seriver tick issues this tier, only on the knockback charge as sometimes the server will register me in the ponies charge despite me being furthest out in the group, rest of fight though it's alright, nothing too strenuous just got to sort out party strats.

E6S - the clashing colours of the arena and aoes really hurt some people’s eyes, i'm fortunate not to bothered but this fight definitely caused the most eye strain for people I came across. As a fight it felt fast paced and short, my issue now is it suffers from Zurvan syndrome "Skip Conflag or disband"

E7S - Easiest fight if doing braindead and well braindead is base strat so it's easiest, lots of cool visuals but slow in executing moves, just like E3S is the worse one to heal for sheer boredom (E3S took until Black smokers for me to care as a healer, here though least earlier in but there is still a 2 min pure gcd nuke spam at the start)

E8S - LR has 1 major flaw being that you cannot visually see what went wrong since everything goes off at once for a single mess up, i'm someone who is very aware of what me party is doing (years as a healer main) and it is so hard to tell where something went wrong, it would just be a hard mechanic if you could tell what happens but you can't without 3rd party tools so it goes from hard mechanic to outright frustrating one. The transition is too long, nice treat first ten times dull as sin the other hundred. Server do have trouble with dragon heads but players can adjust for it so not as bad as Ramuh. I find it great that this savage fight straight up says healers DPS hard no matter the gear or skill the party is using at this point in time. It defies Yoshi P's statement that they don't account for healer DPS and I love that the devs are going no you are doing Savage, high end content, you must dps healers. I also like this fight incorporates some CC, more please, standard comp has bind, sleep and heavy in it too, you can design around a group having these not just stun/silence.
