Recently Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida has been speaking on making the game less stress-free starting with Dawntrail. We dive into what he said in Famitsu and at PAX East to try to understand better what that means!

i felt like it was more about the game overall, not endgame/raids/ultimates/etc.
more like making it fun while u kill an S rank, or normal trial, or fates. just some type of overhaul to some of the mobs attacks, stuff like that. cause when he mentions he falls sleep while playing, i dont think of that as hes sleeping while doing an ultimate, more likely hes almost sleeping while doing a fate. so i think he should expect more changes towards that in the game, not that overworld mobs will kill u, but that u will need to do some fun dodges or stuff like that. just to overall make it fun, not harder.
Is he only focusing on raids tho? The game itself is pretty "easy": building is simple, dungeons are so boring that u have to put something on a second monitor to watch while u complete ur rouletes, last xpac even relics were kinda lame.
He could be talking about everything, but everyone seem to be focusing on the raiding itself.
*If he was specific bout raids, im sorry. I didnt see it.*
Lmao "Mogtalk Not-So Daily" Great video Frosty! Glad you're still doing these, I was worried you'd given up on them already!!
I hope so. We are lvl 90 we have played through 5 “expansions” (counting arr) Time to put on some big girl pants and tune the core content difficulty.
I swear to god, I pause videos in the most weird spots 0:05 Comment for the algorithm, good job, keep at it
I'd like to see more micro stress's added to/back into raiding. Tanks having to move the boss to correct spots, having to actually manage tank threat, timed burst windows beyond just the 2 minute meta, DPS stop/slow moments to control phase changes, more controlled baits on mechanics, tanks and healers swapping between defense/healing and DPS stances. Things like that. Those things aren't hard on their own but just having 1 or 2 more things to track do make a difference.
