I know some people have had to use WTFast, but what I see is always what I get. Generally though I don't look at the actual mechanics, I just watch healthbars and enemy castbars. The exception are the mechancs (like the ones in Midas) that rely on visual cues rather than castbars.
Yeah, I know, because in FF it's pointless to look at actual mechanics due to your screen not matching what is actually happening in the game, but I've been healing for 8 years now in variety of platforms and this is the only one where watching the mechanics is pointless.
And I shouldn't have to use WTFast to properly play the game. Â I don't have to use it for any other game.
And, in case you're wondering, this is why I haven't bothered to try to work my schedule around a static. Â There is no point.
It is fun though! Though the fights sort of lose their magic once nerfs and gear come. I often see fights in other MMOs as sort of a mad scramble, everyone trying to be the best at their particular role while still doing mechanics.
Raids in FFXIV are almost like a dance, everyone usually has to be doing a certain something at a certain time. It's also what makes it frustrating. Square Enix doesn't help things by making quite a few bosses wipe the raid if a single person dies. When it goes well though It's really satisfying. Though not sure I really want to put forward the time commitment for much longer.
