Final Fantasy 14’s latest raid, the Arcadion, is already a massive hit, so much so that many MMORPG enjoyers are even placing it as one of the game’s best raids.
“Having slept on it, I feel confident in saying Arcadion wing one as a whole is the best normal difficulty eight-man content [Creative Business Unit 3] has put out,” one Reddit userwrites, noting that although there are “individual fights in other raids that peak higher,” as it stands, “every single fight in Arcadion so far has been delightful.”
They explain: “Neat twists on mechanics, more playing around with long-time FF14 cliches like vuln stacks being replaced with other failure punishments or more messing with arena layouts/terrain, solid difficulty that makes you pay attention without being overwhelming or impossible for eight randoms to clear it,every boss is hot, good music on every fight, great visuals, the works.”
They’re far from the only one who feels this way, with one Twitter usersaying: “The fourth fight in Arcadion has probably been the BEST raid I have ever been in. This is the highest praise that I will ever give to a single individual fight in this game.” Anothersaysthat it has “easily the best first tier from any normal raid and frankly some of the best fights in all of 14,” with “amazing fucking music,” while anotherconcludesthat it’s “the best eight-man normal experience I ever had in FF14.”
Final Fantasy 14 director Yoshi-P cannot understand why people are hot for the MMO’s new two-headed lizard: “The entire dev team was like, ‘Huh?!'”
