Thanks for the info! Looks like my best option is to hop into the party finder for a while to get some practice. I'd joined a few Discord servers for recruiting, but obviously everyone was talking about the new raids.

I'm actually one of the lowest levels in my FC. Most have been around for years, but I don't think most of them do savage or extreme content. I asked about finding a static group, and most had no idea what I was talking about.

FF14 is more of a dance you practice with your group until you all get it right, WoW is less mechanics but is more reactive, not sure how ESO's would compare. So some of your raid experience will probably transfer, but just expect there will still be an adjustment period.
Based on what I've seen so far, ESO raiding is not too extremely different from FF14 combat. ESO combat is faster and dynamic, and there are fewer skills available to you, but there's still the dance of mechanics. Learning what the boss is throwing at you and finding patterns. There is some element of RNG in ESO raids, though, so you do need to be able to be flexible and react on the fly.

Fortunately I've always been heavily interested in learning the mechanics being thrown at me. I've even written some in depth guides on the past couple ESO raids. So trying to learn what's trying to kill me and how to avoid it has always been second nature.

I'm also used to raid sessions being 2 hours long, so that's not an issue.
