I hope this doesn’t have any repercussions later down the line.
New season means a new description for this Final Fantasy XIV gameplay series wow haha. FFXIV gameplay or FF14 gameplay even. A FFXIV challenge run if you will. Solo FF14, even.
It’s great that I can just phone these in since no one will ever read this far down.

The next Solo video is going to be the biggest grind I've ever had to do. It's going to take a while, but I hope you look forward to Stormblood.
I just wanted to say that the thumbnail goes pretty hard. I love how dynamic it looks! Looking forward to the video!
"Never returning to palace"
HahAhaHA
One of us….
This was a triumph. I look forward to seeing you cut down Susan.
Roomie gave me a "lore reason" for why caster/healer gear is Like That. Which btw I somehow never noticed despite dancing between a Tank(whether I was gnb or drk varied), Dancer(lol), Red mage, and my actual main main Scholar last time I was playing. Mostly between Scholar and Dancer. But she says it's cause we blow ourselves up so much as newbies our resistance is skewed magical and the gear just reflects this lol
Skip sword or disband! XD
The update to Daddy Dragon at the end of Sor caught me off guard when my wife and i came back to play after the end of 6.2😅
Susano is probably at this point looking at Solo going "How many times do I have to teach you this lesson old man" before bonking them with their giant sword into a fine paste given past streams. So either they beat them soon, or….I guess see you when 8.0 hits to try again, Rath?
I like this series more than I like several of my favorite TV shows
But, can you defeat Rauban EX? The first TRUE challenge of Stormblood.
Oh, god, remember when thancred looked like That?
yeah I'm interested in the full level explanation.
I'm new to final fantasy, Only recently getting passed Susano myself. I want to watch more of of your "Solo" series, but it looks like I'm going to have to stop watching until I complete storm blood. my friend and I play msq together so this isn't likely to happen probably until you're well into shadow bringers. I look forward to watching you more soon 🙂
WELL FOUGHT MILORD
The entire Baelsar's Wall section was so enthralling that I forgot to eat the snack I made. Oh my god
When you alluded to Baelsar's wall being a wall I was like, entirely certain that it'd be restraint collar, honestly. I was like, direly certain – the fact that it wasn't is honestly kind of hilarious to me. That the dinky lil robot is what caused by far the most grief is surprising but checks out, that shit hurts.
Either way though, fantastic job as always!
Oh hey it's the SLOPPEH guy
On more serious note, Congratulations on clearing HW solo!
As someone who is masochistic enough to run the Ex version solo as a WAR back in shadowbringers… even to this day doing it with no echo is my personal best achievement. While not exactly what you're dealing with, but it took me weeks, and really taught me how to manage my cooldowns and even using them perfectly i only barely managed to do it by the skin of my teeth.
Whats the song playing with the nidhogg run? I know this tune but I cant place it at 17:00. Also the sage stuff on baelsars wall is how I feel doing necromancer runs -_-
SUSANOO SEASON THREE BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEE
Great series and im looking forward to what you come up with next.
Even long time veteran players can learn a thing or two from what you show.
Also, I have no idea how you could get past Susano. Not even a level 100 WAR can burst him fast enough or survive that sword hit.
Ninjas Doton should not do enough dmg to kill it on its own.
I adore this series and your approach and personality!
I love this series so much! Great work mate, keep up the fantastic work
I'm curious how it's going to go at the higher expansions 😏
I'm looking at you susano.
That was SOOO GOOD!
Lesgooo! Very looking forward to see how Stormblood goes!
Not gonna lie, these videos have same energy as that "Never Give Up" japanese guy that gathers clams at -10 temp 😀
18:57 And I always thought a single target tankbuster was a weird thing for an attack literally called "Extinction" (or All-Death, but in the Dragon language) to be.
Love this series so much
Really made me appreciate going through old content slowly and just taking in the stories told in raids, etc
So a cute little reference in the Calcabrina fight; the tankbuster Knockout is a reference to the Puppetmaster job in Final Fantasy XI. In that game you gain a mechanical puppet partner who you can customize to perform various roles in a party, one of the weaponskills the puppet can learn is Knockout!
By Alexander you did it, onto Stormblood, more palace and the Susano grind!
Been watching these videos since day one and holy shit never do these accomplishments fail to impress me. Love these videos and all the hard work that goes into them, they are so oddly inspirational. Just seeing that there was an upload makes my day. Keep up the good work Rath and never give up, you've done the impossible time and time again in this series
Nidhogg: get rekked thy noob
The absolute smirk on my face when I heard Song of the Ancients start up for the final attempt. Cultured.
You are in storm blood now though. Why are you going back to hward
Yes I knew brayflox was a girl.
Oh hey, they gave Hraesvelgr the wing move from E8S. I think this is the first time I've seen this fight since they changed it.
I hope you make another big video compilation containing all of your Heavensward solo content :3
Yoo I have the same house plot on Malboro, lmao! always good to see the progress!
I'm going to be frank, I think this series should've ended when you arrived at Labyrinth of the Ancients. I understand the desire to carry on a series, but I feel like the series has severely broken away from the original spirit of the challenge. Running numerous points of the challenge as unsynced overleveled jobs I feel isn't overly interesting, even if you did level them solo outside the content. I feel it would've been much more succinct to simply reach the final point you could solo and go, 'This is as far as you can make it' and then move on to other things.
That's just my personal take, though. Cheers and good luck with your channel.
Hey Rath, wanted to say thank you! I really have thoroughly enjoyed the Solo series, and I absolutely cannot wait for more but even more than that you really helped me fall back in love with XIV right before Dawntrail, especially with my crafters, i never particularly enjoyed crafting but the small sequences of gathering the stuff and making it yourself has actually made me level a lot more of my crafters this expac! and as a result DT has been some of the most fun I have had playing XIV in ages, thank you so much for all your hard work on this series and I cannot wait to see the rest of it and everything else!
Akh Morn SHOULD cause fear and dread! It's kino! Peak!
I didnt remember the last dungeon at all, then the "sloppey" voice line brought it all back
every video of yours always just hypes me up to want to play more xiv, although i'm waiting for friends to return from overseas to start dawntrail with them this series has been more than sufficient enough in sating my desire to dragoon my way through the new world. I hope you kick the shit out of stormblood and I can't wait to see you get through it >:D
Nier music goated
I'm so proud to say that I've been here since the beginning. You've come so far; it's been amazing to watch you grow. Very much looking forward to season 3 and I wish you all the best for the future ❤
