Biggest problem with the current Alliance Raid

[FuturePastNow]

It's a video game. And I mean that in the meta sense, I'm pretty sure what's happening in the raids is an electrope video game that Sareel Ja either found or created (most likely found) and then turned the safeties off to make it a SAO you-die-in-real-life thing. The physics aren't gonna make sense

I'm all for dynamic transitions, and I get that it's a fantasy game, but let's not stretch our suspension of disbelief for no reason.

My friend on Etheirys, have you stopped to contemplate why boss arenas are perfect squares and circles, surrounded by death walls?

[Ishe-P]

Very true. It's criminal they include such spectacle.

[JadeCurtiss]

Really, I think the biggest problem is the sleeves on Prishe's armor are the wrong shade of purple.

Not really a problem, since this has been in many duties before - giant leaps, teleport, realms shift etc.

My huge problem with Alliance Raids for some time now (EW) included, is complete lack of alliance mechanics. Out of 12 (?) boss encounters in both DT alliance raids, I can only remember one alliance mechanic when each alliance had to target different boss in the first walk.

Where did alliance mechanics go and why?!

I did mention that it's been a trend. So many duties we fall from unimaginable heights and just land without getting hurt at all. It's bizarre, when they could at least invent a reason why we don't die.

And that's a good point about alliance mechanics. I like when the different parties get split up for a little bit. It reminds me of FFVI.

It's a Final Fantasy trope. There's a lot of incredibly long falls that were survived. They always survive the fall, even that one into the planet's core.

I think it's because Hironobu Sakaguchi has a fear of heights, at least I recall reading somewhere that this was the case.

This is a game not reality. Logic does not need apply if ever. And this is not and alliance problem, it's a problem you have with the raid.

Right. They can invent anything. So why not give us a glider to go from airship to airship or a small trampoline to land on when we fall from a big height. They could even give us a quest where we learn some kind of magic to survive long falls, just like we learned to breathe underwater in stormblood.

It wouldn't take much to make it more believable within the world of the game.

My biggest and only problem with the new Raid is the sheer amount of effect nonsense that's goin on. Half of which isn't needed. My poor GPU keeps screaming at Faithbound Kirin.
