How difficult is Ultimate?

[Recon1o6]

they are marathon fights that are simultaniously harder and less stressful than savage. A lot of the challenge comes from recognising and executing perfectly the loooooonnnggg list of complex mechanics while being able to put out sufficient dps since there's lots of checks

its easier as in there's less stress as you don't have weekly lockouts, but harder because you need ot be skilled and execute perfect coordination

they are also a visual and audio spectacle.

The hardest part of ultimate though is, like savage, finding a competent group

Thanks for the information! Only just completed the game and it seems like there's a lot of challenging post game content which sounds awesome.

You really need to train in savage content first before considering tacking on ultimates fights. Once you ve completed like 1 or 2 savage tiers you can start considering progging ultimate fights. The required skill to learn is how to memorize the encounters of FFXIV. As ultimates fights are marathon fights the amount of memorization for each fight is higher than in savage content.
