FFXIV 6.1 Endwalker Alliance Raid – Aglaia Raid Reaction and first impressions.
This raid tier has really surprised me, the story seems to be really interesting. The bosses are so iconic and interesting and the fights are super fun. I definitely found the last fight the hardest work out, but it has been super fun running them.
This is my first time running an alliance raid in current content, and I’m so excited to be running the 6.1 Alliance Raid every week, it seems super fun and a great addition to Endwalker. But would love to know what you think of it in the comments.

this has become my new favourite alliance raid
Soo good
Regarding the dots:
1) always hit the refresh button (don't remember what it's called) after renewing the song since both have 45 sec so you want to be just under
2) you can make yourself a macro actually, something like
/ac [refreshskill-Iforgotwhatitiscalled] (14 lines) <wait.40>
/e Refresh dots <se.1>
If you absolutely need that audio cue… with this you only need to remember the first refresh and get a bing every after
the raids are definitely just getting more spectacular as we go along. im sure you're excited to see your patron deity
Not sure if you figured out the mechanics yet, but for Nald Thal's fight, you have to pay attention to the background, you're looking at the ground too much tha you couldn't tell what he is going to do. If the background is blue, the blue mechanics on the field will activate while the red won't, that is why people ran over to the red circled arrows on the ground, the back ground was blue so red is safe. And sometimes, he will bait you, like the back ground starts off blue, but a few seconds later it will turn red, so you have to look at the back ground before acting.
I love this raid.
It's easy to miss, especially with random ppl. But the adds you need to kill during the last boss's scale mechanic takes on the form of ppl in the alliance. So if you're (un)lucky you might end up needing to kill a giant version of yourself.
Many bosses in endgame have calls and telegraphs that rely on seeing the background or the boss themselves. In those fights, I advice that you move the camera up, so that you can actually see the boss on screen. You can do that holding ctrl and using the up and down arrows on the keyboard.
This is especially egregious with lala players, since the camera by default is so low that half your screen is below your feet.
As far as I can tell, the telegraph colors are linked depending on whether it's Nald or Thal casting it, but man do I have problems telling which is which. XD
