Raids in Final Fantasy 14 are an opportunity for players to test their skills against powerful bosses for a chance at some of the strongest equipment in the game. Split into multiple difficulty levels, Normal and Alliance Raids are aimed at players just getting started in the end game and are easily completed even for players entering for the first time, while Extreme Trials and Savage Raids are more difficult encounters requiring challengers to learn and practice the bosses' attack patterns and mechanics to triumph.
