Delubrum Reginae is the best raid you've designed... BUT...

[Vahlnir]

Wait, the OP was full of praise (thus the title 'Delebrum Reginae is the best raid you've designed'). I like the content. What I'm saying about said content is that it is not intuitive, and doesn't do a particularly good job teaching. Once-learned, I honestly think it's a far more enjoyable clear than any of the Nier raids by a long shot.

As a mostly-casual player, I am accustomed to spoon-feeding. DR isn't handled that way. It's very enjoyable once learned, but the slope is very steep.

Also, to the people who said 'I ran down the channels the first time on the maze attack' - I've seen like 5 other people do that now, so it's not uncommon. The setup for that attack may take a long time to develop, but it's definitely not clear that what you're looking for is "arrow/mouse in maze that you need to get hit by to save your life." Nothing about that sequence is logical - not the visual; not the getting hit by it. It's fun - it's a lot of fun. It's not obvious in the slightest.

Oh, I never said you didn't enjoy it. I know you said that you did. But again, you are just selling it a bit short in this regard and I don't think that it is a fair and objective opinion. I was talking about the mechanics of the place, much like you were. Objectively, the mechanics aren't hard to learn. If you were able to learn these mechanics (and now enjoy them) then everything is fine as is. If you and many others weren't then I'd see the issue. I haven't seen this at all and I've been running it pretty regularly since day one. Apparently things were obvious enough! On average it probably takes most people a few tries to learn things in every piece of content in the game. Seems like a pointless complaint to make in the end.
