Yoshida Recommends Beating Final Fantasy 14's Bahamut, Alexander, And Omega Raids Bef

That is not what I was referring to. I've seen more than a few people in game (sprouts/returners for that matter) complaining about having to do CT at all to get to Shadowbringers. I am not talking about veteran players.

Because they are intimidated by the words "24 Man Raid", not realizing just how easy and forgiving (for the most part) the 24 mans really are.

No. Because I just don't want to do raid content. I raided for years in WOW to the point I have an aversion.

And these are only raids in name only. They are basically just 24 man dungeons, especially in regards to difficulty.

They're raids. A zerg rolls through the instance and kills stuff.
When I did CT and Ivalice to unlock content, there was a small core team who carried the rest of the team, who was dead on the ground most of the time.

Call it dungeon, raid, whatever. That's not fun content to me.

Ivalice maybe, and specific fights/mechanics of CT, but something has gone wrong if most of the party is dead most of the time.

These CT elitist raiders are ruining our game!! /s

Though, seriously, I am glad they are making raids more core to the story and not just encapsulated arcs. They're great for tying up loose ends, expanding on subplots, and filling in character development (thinking very much of Eden with this. 10/10 wish I could wipe my brain and do it all again). I still firmly believe that if you are paying to play an MMO then you shouldn't shake your fist at the suggestion of multiplayer content.

Agreed; it was a small point, but the final boss inside the Crystal tower 4 man dungeon was a great way to see both the Alexander and Omega raids actually have meaningful story elements.

@shironeko,
I can sympathize with not wanting to do multiplayer content- my wife does each raid or dungeon exactly one time if she can help it. She will do them again with our group of friends in roulette if it pops, but basically she only plays the game for social elements and the MSQ.

..but that said, she does do the content…kicking and screaming and mostly floor tanking.

We even 5 man’d (4 man counting my wife) Binding Coil to get everyone to see the story at 80.
