New Unreal is a an all around miserable experience.

I'm not even sure what exactly people are struggling with in Sephirot, he's not all that mechanically difficult and the bulk of his mechanics have appeared in other fights since Heavensward. People not knowing how to do the bait before the knockbacks is the only thing I can think of that'd really trip people up, as people might initially be afraid of standing in a big blue instakill marker to bait the AOEs.

Yes. It's not all that difficult mechanically. From my experience in (failed) A2C groups, people start messing up during:
(1) wind adds: Lots of visual effects happening. Caster LB3, Sephirot's AOE, Yesod, and some people forget to move out from it.
(2) when it loops back to the first mechanic: At least 1 person always forget to move out after baiting Yesod. And thus, can lead to 1 less person for green tethers.

Some people tend to start lose focus at the loop especially after several pulls in. Gotta keep those feet moving.

What is easy about this fight, is how easy it is to screw up, and how quickly that screw up can turn the tide of the fight into an unsalvageable one.

True. Mechs in the second half of the fight happens quickly in succession. I've attempted a few healer LB3 to try and save it but it was never successful.


And in one of my pulls, everything went pretty clean and we were confident getting the clear.
Until a summoner forget to stack at the wind and get knocked off the platform right before enrage.
