How was the ToAU 35 BC? Initial responses seem to range from "OMGhard!" to "Challenging, but if you're well-organized, you'll do fine."

We won on the first try, with only one death (and that a dual-boxed taru BLM); I'd put it in the latter category. We had a PLD tank / kiter, and most of our damage was ranged (2x BLM + RNG); ran the main target in laps around the outside of the area with the DDs in the center plugging away. One thing that may have helped is holding back on damage while the clones are out; they seem to act in sync with the main, and so you don't want them *all* doing TP moves.

Other parties seemed to be having problems; I did the CSs before most of the rest of the group since I already had a replacement coin, and standing around waiting outside the BC the raise sound effects were practically continuous :)

Many of the cutscenes in the newly added parts are long, but quite cool; I'd recommend not doing this in a hurry if possible so you have a chance to actually enjoy them.
