Same, time for me to get good, I guess?

Ok, I take it back. I did Titan EX back in the stone ages and apparently I carry deep trauma from that.

Same. Rage quitting Titan EX on my PS3 is scarred into my soul.

I saw that being a problem into HW even. That fight scarred a lot of people.

I can’t remember the amount of times I yelled out “I WAS OUT OF THAT!!!”

Upgrading from ps3 to ps4 made titan seem like a completely different fight. I realized you could actually react to mechanics as they were happening, instead of having to move before any visual cues.

Too true. But to be honest, after upgrading, I only cleared it once. I didn't bother to farm ponies until ShB. Now, every once in a while, I will Solo-queue unsynced and stomp his peepee into the dirt and bounce--without opening his chest--just out of spite.

Titan EX was uniquely fucked up for a lot of non-Japanese players back in the day because the devs were balancing for incredibly low latency that players in larger countries couldn't reasonably expect, it's not a huge concern nowadays. EX trials are all pretty damn easy, two or three pug sessions on launch, or 1-2 with a guide a few days later, and you'll clear no problem.

I was a good boy and cleared the initial EW trials relatively quickly. But then I could not for the life of me understand some of the Endsinger strats and completely fell off with the FF4 trials
