I remember during ShB my FC friend on a whim queued us with no warning for Ifrit EX
I was healer, he was a tank
and we got filled with the usual sprouts who don't know people don't like DFing EXs
We had a sprout NIN catboy that ate everything
We spent so long but everyone stayed in and we cleared it. It was...FUN
Seems like less people actually enjoy the struggle. Idk
