did they not change the EX when they changed the hard one?

They explicitly did not. When they announced the revamp, they specifically said that it was only going to be the Hard mode, since currently, Mog Hard is the first content that you're 100% required to do with other players (as every other MSQ duty before it can be done with NPC's now)

Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> Battle Effect Settings -> Party [X] Show Limited, Others [X] Show Limited

As somebody who started the game getting constant visual overload and spacing out for split seconds in dungeon combat this will remove most stuff except the most meaningful team work visuals such as healer bubbles to stand in and ninja ground aoes to drag mobs out of to hear them scream.

I also recommend Hud Layout -> Enemy List. Make sure it's somewhere easy to see and click. If you have the enemy pile on you but there's something loose it'll be a green dot instead of a red dot on the list, you can click the name directly and throw a +threat axe at them!

Oh this is all good, thanks.

Mog Ex is the best ARR Ex trial because I can go in as a level 90 and obliterate a whole bunch of moogles at once with one AoE. Then they stand up and I can do it again.

I literally refuse to watch or read a guide for any dungeon, normal trial or raid or alliance raid before I do them for my first time. I've never had any real trouble other than not getting a mechanic or dying a few times while I got the hang of it.

Anything in the MSQ, or just anything that isn't an Extreme/Savage, is meant to be done by randos with minimal to no communication. You'll be fine just jumping in.

Ignore that trials are marked as (Hard), that's just a tag they put on to say it's 8-man at the start. There's never another 'normal' trial again (other than maybe one or two weird outliers I might be forgetting). They eventually stop putting (Hard) in trial names, since they don't have a normal version.

Make two macros:

/bfx other off
and
code:
/bfx party simple
/bfx other simple
and click those when necessary. Replace simple with all for maximum :pcgaming:

pvp is just a shitshow (frontlines) or, potentially, a naked jello wrestling match (cc). regular tab targeting and closest target will serve you best there. understanding how targeting actually works (right-to-left vs left-to-right) in conjunction with controlling your camera helps, tho.

I've been running rival wings with the discord for a couple weeks now. The targeting system is a gigantic liability for me and i wish i had a mouse to target specific individuals with. The reason it's such a huge liability is that there are a ton of npcs running around that you can technically heal, so you can target them. No one ever heals them and the ability to target them lingers far too long after they're dead. Try to target that giant missile launching robot? gently caress you no, have this dead and cooling thing you can literally do nothing with

I'm gonna recommend never turning bfx for your party off. Simple/Limited at the minimum, otherwise you won't see ground targeted defensive/healing abilities that your party is using.

Turning them off for other is fine.

I generally agree, but there was one mechanic in E12S that was super hard to do even with party effects at simple.
Other than that, I only turn everything off for Hunts / special Fates.

On the subject of macros, is there a list of icons with the category attached somewhere? I found this, but it just has the icon names and no clues as to what category they belong to.

I cannot help you but I can say that list isn't complete because you can use BLU actions as macro icons too

You are not one of us.
A small heads up to using macro icons: They will place restrictions on a macro that wouldn't otherwise apply. Specifically, they'll be partially* treated as that action even if the macro has nothing to do with activating it. *Being on a different Class/Job won't be an issue, though.

For example, I used to use one of the BRD actions as an icon for toggling BGM on and off, and another for toggling the mounted BGM on and off. Due to that, I couldn't use the macro while I was mounted despite that not being a restriction, which kind of defeated the purpose of the latter one since I primarily use random mounts. Removing the icon lets it work whenever, as long as BGM toggling isn't disabled baseline.

ARR EX's are also easier by virtue of gradual potency buffs throughout the years and multiple class reworks so that the rotation at 50 for many classes is much easier than what it used to be.

They've added Trust/Duty support to all of ARR and most of HW, they're trying to have all MSQ dungeons playable with NPC allies by 7.0, a bunch of early dungeons got the jank ironed out, Praetorium is a shorter four player dungeon with the Ultima Weapon fight as its own separate trial, new Raid series and Alliance Raid are dope, doubled space in the glamour dresser, they revamped PVP and added a 5v5 mode, more Hildebrand. I think that about covers it?

Huh? I've done that for ages, and it works. The icon is greyed out if I'm not a bard and/or mounted, but that's purely visual and pressing the button or the hotkey works fine. I'm on KB+M, is it different on controller maybe?

Maybe it was temporarily broken when I tried it then, but it definitely didn't work when it was greyed out for me on KB+M. I remember quite a few instances of it not toggling the mounted BGM. I haven't tried again since then, though, so you're probably right.
