How is the dungeon going to push away non raiders ? Tell me what other final fantasy game has 0 challenges or obstacles to overcome ? Every final fantasy game 7,13,15 ect has a challenge at some point. You are not playing animal crossing.

But they didn't say "the game needs to be made easier to accommodate me".

They said "100% agree" in the topic with OP asking for an easy mode. Come one you are playing with words here.

I think the devs know this and are trying to make changes with the new deep dungeon to make it more accessible to all of there player base. I do think there should be more difficulty options in the game and would like to see that moving forward with all content minus Ultimate, however this dungeon is not going to drive non raiders away from this game and if a player is truly struggling to clear they can put a PF up and I am sure that people will come to help.

If you cant clear the content you even have the trust system to help you out. The devs cannot make these dungeons braindead for the 3 percent audience vs the 97 percent who enjoy a mentally engaging dungeon run

In another topic, she talks about how the second boss of the dungeon is what "marks her endpoint with FFXIV" (one more on the list) because the mechanics are too quick.

It's literally complaining about challenges and obstacles.

The second boss was definitely challenging, especially since each ROLE seems to have different mechanics, but it just meant that I had to retry it a few times because things weren't instantly readable. It's easier than the stupid 2nd boss of Yuyuwata, anyway.
