Final Fantasy 14's gonna be shaking up how it handles difficulty come patch 7.35, after a mini-disaster with patch 7.25's Occult Crescent back in May. To put a long story short, Creative Studio 3's somewhat fumbled approach to content difficulty came to a head; the Forked Tower somehow managed to thread the needle, becoming a raid made for no-one.
Hardcore players weren't keen because it was almost impossible to get an organised group of players into; meanwhile, the casual, midcore, and solo crowd were turned off thanks to stringent preparation requirements and "body-checks", where one misplaced step could wipe the raid.
