    This is what bothers me with the direction XIV has taken. The dev team seems determined to make casual content one giant participation ribbon. It's okay if we don't immediately succeed just by existing. In fact, that's what makes even easy content fun. Having the game all but hand you a win just robs any sense of engagement. At least for me.

    I have to agree here. A lot of the time I could barely see the boss so watching the boss for potential hints for mechanics wasn't possible. Sometimes even AOE couldn't be clearly seen. And I think one shouldn't have to turn off effects just in order to be able to play properly.

    We'll see if the graphics update will fix the visual problems or not (my guess is not).

    As a general rule, I always have spell effects turned off. But I've also been pretty involved in hunts where there's far too many people to have all effects on.

    It lacks some interesting mechanics, the final boss is disappointing, and particular bosses (like Oschon) are really weak. It is mixed bag.

    There really ought to be a setting to tone down the visual effects of other player's attacks without turning them completely off (and while preserving the visuals of all beneficial skills). Even if the boss's model itself had zero tells, it'd still be nice to be able to see the boss and players doing something other than flailing sticks around for no apparent reason.
