Difficulty of normal content.

[Wice]

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.
