How difficult is Ultimate?

[Shougun]

It's not that hard you just have to put in a lot of effort frequently to memorize 20 minutes of fight, as a group, meanwhile making very few mistakes while playing your class above average. . . lol. (Speaking ultimate, savage is a lot less to memorize- honestly just get a PF and you're well on your way for that content, good luck in DF until huge echo buffs though and then good luck again once enough people who learned it stop queuing for it xD).

It's true if you did those steps it isn't but for many people that is just a big no thanks, even if you make them realize 'they could'. It's like saying Dark Souls or Sekiro (Sekiro specifically) isn't that hard, sure if you learn to parry it's actually easy to look like a god. Now get the average person to become a master at parry.

It's not going to happen no matter how kind of a teacher you are. There will be some who learn because you were welcoming but no matter the instance of quality teacher it'll never become a majority content unless you've already made your audience focus that niche in the first place.

What makes Ultimate hard is it requires you put in above average effort. If you're a person willing to do that, then it certainly is achievable. I would strongly wager, no matter if Yoshida literally held everyone's hand individually to help them do the fight, the majority is not going to want to put in that effort. Naturally this is why mods like DBM (WoW) and the thing that must not be named in FFXIV are fairly popular as it quite literally makes it take less effort to win (basically cut your memorization down either entirely or almost entirely, then you just have to actually play your job right and get others to do the same- which still takes enough effort that the minority does this content lol).
