    The average game journalist probably attends the press event, plays the press build for an hour by running around the starting city, hits some dummies, then checks the forums and reddit to see what anyone thinks of anything. So what that chart basically tells you is that Tuliyollal is Yoship's worst city design yet, even worse than Gridania.

    Please for the love of GOD stop complaining about the content being too hard. This is MAX LEVEL CONTENT where you are expected to AT LEAST know how to play your character. For the LOVE OF GOD how inept can people really be?!?!?

    It's so sickening and tiring to hear grown adults (and possibly children) who do nothing but cry over a game that IS NOT EVEN DIFFICULT. I'm going to have to go out on a limb here and say that the people here probably complain about everything in real life being too hard too and never want to have to work for anything. Even if it's normal and is designed to be easier than the savage content, it should NOT be made so easy that you can legitimately go afk to clear it.

    The normals are DESIGNED to introduce you to the overall mechanics of a fight. Those same core mechanics also give you some insight into the higher difficulties and are what ACTUALLY make them unique instead of just rolling your face on your keyboard every damn time. If you're someone really that bad at the game then I'm sorry, please go play minecraft/stardew valley/animal crossing.

    Imagine having to use your brain.. VERY MINIMALLY to complete something and then crying when the one braincell you have can't comprehend "The boss seems to be charging a laser, guess I'll just stand here and do nothing". Video games as a whole are now suffering in quality these days because of over homogenization and dumbing down so the average low IQ mcdonalds worker can get their free glamour to then go to some weirdo nightclub full of furries to ERP all night while getting drunk.

    Has it never occurred to anyone that maybe even the people who like to raid but don't want to do hardcore content, like the lessened difficulty of normal raids? I still think that fights like Midgardsormr in SB was one of the best tuned normal raids we've ever had as it had mechanics that you needed to pay attention to (minimally) to complete.

    Anyway... grow up and stop crying like a child about everything in your life that offers up the smallest bit of resistance. So damn entitled.

    I swear it feels like a lot of the complaints about telegraphs feel like this. I'd be lying if I said this stupid drama wasnt' living somewhat rent free in my head - enough that when I saw this image I couldn't help but think to make this stupid edit.



    I wish I could comprehend the mindset that considers this content to be unfairly difficult, at least that way I could offer something more constructive than "I really don't know, have you tried asking people for help and letting them see your play up front?". Oh well.

    You should probably go to play another game if you think that NORMAL content is hard... "-Mechs resolving too quickly for the mental capacity they demand to process."... Maybe it's just for you. I'm 31 and find those mechs really slow

What you are seeing are two popular streamers mobilizing their followers (accidentally or otherwise) to dogpile me and anyone siding with me (plus 4chan trolls for good measure).
    While I understand that some of my opinions in this and my other posts in this thread can be interpreted as hyperbole I stand by them. My position is unchanged.
    No one "mobilized" anyone, dude had a bad take, streamers covered it, people agreed that it's a bad take.

    Dude pretends to speak for us, we say no, you don't speak for us.
    Dude then proceeds to exclude us from "casual" and assign bad intentions to us instead of just understanding that maybe people don't see this the same way he does.
    Let's not forget that this dude thinks his only alternative to not doing it is to die and leech from you all for the whole fights. I think it's pretty representative of his attitude in general.
    Despite so many people telling him that they disagree, he persists and strawmans us instead of accepting that maybe he posted an opinion that the majority disagrees with.
    Maybe streamers covered the take precisely because a majority would disagree and it's an abysmal take.
    No one is here to pass Arthras' judgement, we are here to say our opinion. I'm sorry that understanding that others might have a differing opinion is beyond you OP, but this is getting delusional.
    I'm sorry that you can't understand that even if we watch a streamer (most of us don't even rofl), we can think for ourselves. You and the people that agree with you aren't the only ones that have takes and opinions.
    Man, this is getting ridiculous, the denial is strong with this one, he will distort ANYTHING to avoid saying he made a mistake and maybe he has it wrong.
    Everyone loves a good redemption arc, just saying "I didn't know people actually liked this so much", because we do, and apologizing seems like the right thing to do.
    Everyone would applaud that.
    This is like saying that people who watch the news are diligent soldiers of news broadcasters and they are all a hive mind mobilized by news anchors.
    Most of us who listen to the news do so for information precisely to make our own opinions about events.

    And then people in the thread accusing us of not wanting a discussion. Does that edit look like OP wants one ? Why does op get preferential treatment ? Because "bad feels because op is getting a lot of backlash" ?
    I don't know man, I thought freedom of expression was about opining things like this and letting the best opinions rise to the top and the bad ones sink.
    The funny thing is that if this dude was the one to clear normal raids effortlessly, he'd be one of the most vitriolic people to dunk on a person that would post this. Clearly he does not care about anyone else, and only his experience matters to him.

    I don't play extremes or savage when they come out. I go back and do them later one when item level or the ability to unsync them makes them a bit easier because I'm very casual when it comes to battle content. Brutally hardcare about gposing (in a former FC other members had an argument about whether I spend 90% of my game time gposing, or whether it was nearer 95%. I only saw this afterwards- I was too busy gposing) So, that's my perspective.

    I think these raids are fine. These expert dungeons are fine. Difficulty wise- I've had a lot of fun playing them and I'm looking forward to playing them again. The tricks have been harder to learn than what we saw in Endwalker, but they are still just tricks. Once you know the trick, it becomes easier.

    Deslyxic, I'm not going to tell you "git gud", nor am I going to say your opinion is invalid. You feel the way you feel and people telling you that you're wrong isn't going to help. I think you can learn these fights and maybe even learn to love them if you keep trying, after all if "spends 95% of their game time in gpose" can figure it out, anyone can. You just need to keep trying and not give up. If you're worried about going back into these fights next week, then find a guide on Youtube and watch that first. If you have difficulty during the fights, it's ok to ask people for any tips or hints they might have to do mechanics better. You posted this thread when this content was new and people don't have great gear for it. It will all get easier in time, all you have to do is not give up. As long as you keep trying the many good people out there you're being matched with in duty finder will be there to help you. It's what we're here for.

    It's ok to not have it all figured out on week 1. Keep trying and you'll get there.

    We tried that, he does not want to hear that.
    Afaik, he actively put down speech like that in one of his earlier replies.
    He wants his way or it's the highway.
    Comments on videos that were posted on the topic recount experiences in game with him that align with this perspective.
    Everything that is not square enix saying "okay, we'll make the raids easier" is not satisfactory for him. He thinks he holds the supreme opinion, and he thinks you are wrong too.
    Most of us agree profoundly with that statement tho. I know I do.
    Like, I want him to succeed, that'd prove him wrong, and that would make him more confident in his capabilities, and maybe he wouldn't feel this post is necessary anymore.

    WARNING!!! Possible Spoilers!



    There is one dungeon that I believe the final boss could use an adjustment. Not because the mechanics are too hard, they're really pretty standard imho. But the camera angle on the final boss of the third dungeon (I don't want to say the name because of spoilers) makes it nearly impossible to see the indicators. Usually by the time I get my camera adjusted enough to see it it's too late to know what's coming first. Maybe make the indicators light up all the way down it's body or something.

    If you spent the same time studying and practicing the basic mechanics and gameplay as you did whining on the forums about the “difficulty”of the purely optional normal raids, I guarantee you you wouldn’t be complaining anymore
