Not_an_Owl 06/28/21 2:15:36 PM #285:	"Hard" in a dungeon name is a bit of a misnomer - they aren't actually difficult, more of a narrative excuse to revisit an old location for a different story reason. Some of them are quite interesting - the Tam-Tara Hard storyline in particular is a treat. Similarly, "hard" trials aren't actually hard. During ARR it was developer shorthand for "this trial is at level 50". By the time you get to post-Heavensward content the conventions have changed to "instance name", which is the story mode, and "instance name (Extreme)", which is the challenge mode. Some trials are named "The Minstrel's Ballad: ____", which is the equivalent of Extreme. Speaking of! 8 man raids past ARR have two versions, normal and Savage. Normal is story mode; Savage is the challenge mode. ARR only had one difficulty for the Coils of Bahamut, which was equivalent to today's Savage. (Second Coil Savage is something else altogether - if you're doing it synced at the level it was intended it's considerably more difficult than anything else labelled Savage.) --- Besides, marijuana is far more harmful than steroids. - BlitzBomb I headbang to Bruckner. <cite>Not_an_Owl posted [p:955525832] in FFXIV Topi...
