yeeeey let'sa go i am first!
LETSGO
Cape Westwind was the 1st 8man instance a player would see in the game in the MSQ, and 2nd if they did all the guildhests while leveling. As expansions were released, low level rotations were replaced, and power creep set in it became a traditional prank to overhype the fight only for it to end in a ten second tank-n-spank. When Patch 6.1 came out, they replaced the ARR MSQ dungeons and this battle to be more consistent with modern FF14 design, and in the process embraced the meme to make this the hardest solo duty in ARR and agruably the entire game with mechanic patterns you would normally see in a level 81+ raid.
Loving the live production! Keep it up LOL
Let me know what you thought of this style of intro and if I should continue doing them like this!
Cape Westwind used to be a massive meme before its rework.
It was a super easy fight that groups would burn down in like 30 seconds but it was also the first 8 man content in the MSQ. When people saw there was a new sprout everyone would hype up the fight like "i spent 5 hours on this fight" and "its ok if we wipe, this is a really hard fight" and also put down a bunch of markers for made-up mechanics, making sprouts thinking it was super hard.
It was an unwritten rule in the community to never spoil this for new players and to also join in to convince them that it was super hard. Like a rite of passage for sprouts.
A bunch of people got trolled by this. I think the most memorable one is Savix who got baited by his twitch chat into looking at a fake guide which looked super confusing. He has a YouTube video of the whole experience if you need react content 🙂
I really love the new Cape Westwind. A solo 4-phase fight. I still remember the old one. Cape Westwind was literally the shortest Trial ever. The cutscene was 5 times longer than the fight itself. I think the record was (in the server I'm in) 17.5 sec. Now? Now this whole fight actually gives you a real challenge. One of the best improvements they did for ARR.
Yay! Some justruss to recover from my food coma to
I really miss the old memes on this fight, but I'm so happy they gave this character some long overdue respect for all he gave to the community!
I'd never actually watched the remade version of this fight; they really gave Rhitatyn the fight he deserved. The ARR finale in general was super improved and I'm super glad to see people enjoying it now.
