No Extreme mode trials are required for the main scenario.įinal Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers introduced Unreal trials, which are old Extreme trials rereleased at the then max level with tight item level syncs and no ability to run them unsynced in order to maximize their difficulty.
The most difficult trials are Extreme modes, which are among the most difficult encounters in the game at the time of their release, many of them being seen as superbosses. Once players arrive at the endgame, they will start encountering Hard mode trials, which require 8 players. Normal modes require only 4 players, and only three of them are encountered early in the game. There are generally three difficulty levels to trials. They differ from other duties in that they feature only a single boss encounter, where other duties typically have multiple boss encounters and regular enemies in between. Trials are a type of duty found in Final Fantasy XIV.
