You know, I once trained someone in here that would freeze at the prospect of fighting an opponent in melee range. Spent a good couple of hours with them. I'd throw common jobs at them in the duelling ring, and get them to look at the skills. I'd ask them questions each time I engaged and got their answer back. It was like a therapy session more than anything heh, as I was trying to fine-tune their response to me each time to something more realistic. I have no idea how or why they were so perturbed by melee players getting in their face, considering other games they'd played, but that was the case.

Eventually, they were doing the Feast and not just Frontlines. At least 8v8. As a MCH. They didn't complain about melee players since after that. In many respects that player reminds me of you, since they were wrangling with feelings of persistent uselessness and shame. I hope you find someone that you can actually trust to be able to spend the time with you and help you believe you can actually turn those kinds of situations around, if that's not readily coming from yourself. The PvP minigame gets more entertaining once you have some confidence, trust me. Even if circumstances can get... a little strange, sometimes.

(This all said without having yet tried the new system though. /disclaimer)

I'd like to skip the current savage and step into the coming ultimate because I cba with the tedium of the current PvE for long and don't care for the Arcadion one bit, yet I just really want to face off with a harder Kefka and co. Alas, we don't always get what we want. Especially a want that is pretty niche and unlikely to be obliged when there's the majority who will be willing to do the busywork and enjoy it (maybe/hopefully), and why should it be? Some content is not for everyone. Why should the rewards associated with that mode be available any other way in those cases?
