I know I'm over 70 Fates by now, and I've gotten ONE Demi Atma. No idea how many hours spent.

The drop rate from FATEs is about 5%. In my experience, it's normal to take 60 FATEs to get 1. After a while, you get 3 within several FATEs. Then it goes back to taking around 60 FATEs to get 1. But if you do the division, it ends up as a 5% rate overall.
70 FATEs is really nothing because they die so quick. I got my 500 FATE achievement so quick in OC and I was doing it insanely casually like 1-3 hours a day, missing a lot of days and often just being 1-2 hours. If you don't want to put in the effort to fight a tiny amount of CEs (let's say up to 12 per demiatma type), then the alternative is enduring the bore of hundreds of FATEs for 3 of a given demiatma.
It also doesn't help that the FATEs are so incompetently made that they die in seconds as they spawn. I had to go to Materia and play with the delay to even remotely enjoy my time. Someone should force the developers to play their ill-designed games. They'd fix it right away. God damn that zone is shit.
I also only have 3 demiatmas. It's not even remotely fun. Honestly, now that I have the riding map I'm kinda done with it. It's so poorly designed and terrible that none of it is fun. It's just dull tedium.

I have four alts and have completed the grind on two and the third is almost done.
Am I crazy ?
At this point if you truly had been going into OC somewhat regularly and still only have 6 you are so statistically unlucky as to be functionally irrelevant to the balancing conversation. The rate is 20%/5%. The amount of people doing thousands of fates and grinding endlessly and getting nothing is so small that o don’t know we it keeps getting fixated on
As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
I guess if you want, you can wait long enough, they'll boost step 1 demiatma in a few months.
Most ppl will finish up in 2 weeks, so it's extremely rare to have to farm much longer than that, beyond just terrible luck overall.
I've only been doing it off and on for a few weeks. I'm only rank 13 because I honestly find FATE grinding to be insufferable so I do maybe an hour at a time before I want to die and repeat.
