Simulator, copy paste from a Reddit post:

Hi everyone

Just sharing https://www.xivsim.com - An FFXIV simulator that allows you to connect with your static/friends and practice specific phases of difficult fights in real time.

The tool runs directly in your browser and doesnt require any installations. You can request a server, and share the url for your friends to join.

Once inside you can choose specific phases or mechanics to play/strategize around.

The tool will be openly accessible this weekend (more info on the discord server https://discord.gg/3A7fGmemPc), for initial feedback with an official release a couple of weeks later.

Sims don't really work for me as a learning tool, and I think they're kinda lame. I don't like how normalized they are.

They're normalized? I guess I live under a rock, then.

I havent the foggiest either, but assuming its a 3rd party tool. Then no! Thats exactly whats wrong with the game and has been since launch. Sadly its likely impossible to get rid of them at least like this, but that doesnt mean they shouldnt try.

I dont raid, but 3rd party tools are EXACTLY why I dont. Back in heavensward it was ACT this and ACT that and I hate comparing numbers. Im here to have fun and learn the dance, not compare epeens and debate whats meta...
To hells with 3rd party tools.

Sims are not a "third party tool" in the ToS-breaking sense, they are simulators designed to replicate the game's general functions, simulate fight mechanics, and allow someone to practice them repeatedly without the need to form a party, without the need to do the fight up to that point, or even launch the game, this makes them a tool, that isn't made by Square Enix, so third party, but because they never interact with the game, they don't break ToS in any capacity, in the legal sense they are no different than a wiki.

"I'm here to have fun", aka ruin and waste everyone else's time basically, that's exactly what happens if you underperform and cause back to back wipes, if you and only you are underperforming out of the entire party because you want to "have fun", the problem is you.
