Hmm, Jenova, checks out.

Memes aside, I hate to tell you but expansion after expansion this game has been getting easier and easier. I'm saying this as I have played since basically the beginning of the game. We used to have enrages in normal raids and trials. If you think this is difficult, I do not know what to say to you, and this is coming from someone who learns very slowly.

In all honesty by your 9th death and I'm assuming you would've seen all the mechanics (because they loop endlessly in normal raids since there is no enrage in them), you.. should've noticed how to avoid mechanics by looking at everyone or looking at the boss/ arena during mechanics being cast as to where to go.

Do you do EX trials or do you avoid those? For I do not understand why you find these difficult, considering it's just mechanics from ARR to current.

Sadly, my rear is the kind that wants the enrage back in normal raids and trials, so that people actively engage in the fights and learn mechanics, regardless of wiping. Eventually, you'll get through them or maybe just play with friends if you do not play with them yet, or make some.
