Used to be a jank trial fight, now it ‘s a pretty cool solo instance. Prepped a file on my cute alt, Josalyn. You might recognize her if you’re cultured. Took me a bit to remember how Summoner worked, so I apologize for messy play.
This solo instance uses mechanics made common in later expansions, notably some exaflares, and the pizza dodging AOE earthshakeer thing.

HD still processing as of 6AM EST. What good is fiber to upload fast if Youtube process slow. Madge.
EDIT: Okie, it's done.
Looks soooo coooooool, wish this was my first experience with the fight. They really improved it so much.
Okay, this is FAR better. Lucia and the Knights holding back Vishap's flames was by far the coolest change though.
This is so cool
new players getting love
definitely more interesting than what it eventually became; a plain dps grind.
But sad to see the other mechanics outright erased. (the tethers, the towers, the cannons)
While it is surely better gameplay wise, the Monster Hunter siege style quest where monster is advancing slowly while you shoot it with canons and binders was cool and will be missed for what it was
Its kinda hard to like any of this. its a good thing they changed older content so newer players could clear it. But it sucks when the changes depart from what the earlier players experienced. It makes new players and older ones seem like they played a different game with the same name.
All these new players will never know the privilege of looking up Vishap’s butthole for 10 minutes.
Wow o.o this right here is how you do a fight nicely. Did you see the adventures die, one by one? Seeing Ishgard’s Dragoons actually do something is nice too. I wish DRGs can actually dodge attacks while jumping too, but oh well.
I will miss my dragonator.
