Moogle Treasure Trove returns

[Mawlzy]

Dying a lot (and I mean a LOT) is absolutely normal.
This game teaches mechanics by killing you. When you die, you see you've done something wrong. It's not holding people back. It's part of the process everyone goes though.
Not even the top players are going to not die to new stuff. You can infer some things but the game has plenty of newer mechanics ready to kill us all.
We all die, over and over again, until we don't.

I hope this helps you feel better, and may give you the courage to try again. Just remember, dying and wiping the group isn't a bad thing, it's just... a thing. It's the way the game works.
Best of luck fellow warrior of light!

All fair points, but...

Something that people with a natural affinity for high-APM combat will never emotionally appreciate is that not everyone is like them. This covers everything from reaction times, to hand-eye coordination, to short-term memory, to spatial awareness to stress management.

And thus we get comments on YouTube guides that amount to: "Why are you making a guide for this? I beat it blind with one eye closed while watching Netflix using my left foot on the mouse."

Not everyone has an aptitude for combat, and combat is not all of FF14.

Looking forward to this one! The flying garter snake dragon is awesome, I probably haven't even unlocked the place it drops from yet. Guess I'm part of that targeted audience.

I will happily be a conduit of rage for any disappointed veterans, 'cause at least I'll have a cool mount!
