A few days ago i am finally done with this raid, I have farmed 124 demi materia to buy the mount and hairstyle, i must say the drop rate for these things is way too low. i think i have seen the Pet only drop ONCE and you can not buy it for materia.
Overall the Fight is not that difficult, but it has a few mechanics that are just absurd or feel unfair for a 24 man.
#1 Towers
You need exactly 3 people for each tower on the sides, but you only got 6 players, there is very little to no time to adjust, combined with looming chaos mechanic that swaps all players positions.
If you have dead players, looming chaos will screw you over and then the assigned towers will most likely not resolve.
If you fail the towers, they explode and hit everyone of the entire alliance raid, which means multiple tower fails stack and wipe you instantly,
It has become a common strategy to use the Tank LB on the second set of towers, even when no one is dead, just in case.
Maybe the towers should only explode in a local area instead of hitting the entire raid.
2# The Tiles, The tiles breaking and instantly killing you because someone does a wrong step at the wrong moment leads to huge frustration, especially when you learn the boss, you can never know when someone will move to refresh his tile
I would suggest a more lenient time before the tiles break if two players step on the same one, maybe 3 seconds to adjust instead of <1 second.
3# Resurrections in general:
If someone falls down , his body almost always spawns at the wrong location, i think in general all players spawn at the east side, but their bodies should spawn at their assigned party positions
Party A = West, Party C East, Party B is a bit weird because they are in the middle, so either side is okay.
The Atomos Teleport should always face forward from your character, instead of a random direction, it is really difficult to aim properly otherwise, i have seen many people teleport into the abyss and die again.
