  1. I remember when this came out because I was deployed in Afghanistan so i wasn't able to play it lol. By the time I got back no one was really running Shiva 🙁 my favorite summon.

  2. I remember the ARR Hard version dungeons……never remembered a run that did not wipe….w
    Even though I was stormblood (4.6) joined, it was still a rough series of hard, really hard dungeons
    These days it is a breeze! kind of glad too…especially when doing roulette, you kind of want to go in and out
    But it definitely had its charms

  3. I returned to FF14 on this patch because of Ninja , ater playing through 2.0 as BLM. Game started to feel alot more fleshed out in endgame at this stage.

  4. Can I just point out something?
    The size of the arena for final coil.
    One of my biggest gripes in savage and even TOP and DSR to an extent, is how the boss is just in the middle and the arena is super small. I feel having a bigger arena would allow for more creative usage of said arena, like with P7S. P7S had a ton of arena style mechanics, but the problem with the fight is that it was slow and went on for freaking ever.

  5. Still a little bit disappointed, that the current patch hildibrand Duty was not a trial. Such a cool fight and it's a shame that it's a one and done thing.

  6. First boss of satasha hm could be rough too with the debuff. Hell healers to this day forget to remove that debuff causing alot of random deaths.

    Just a little correction haps. You where not banned from the df til the next day. The number of que abandons reset every day. What would happen is you would get a 30 min ban after 3 drops, and every subsequent drop after the first ban would be another 30 minutes.

  7. been a while since i've done it, but i seem to recall the MSQ in this patch is where it really picked up from previous patches. Felt more focused and enjoyable to me.

    Also, that penalty for withdrawals, i remember before that people fishing for last boss progress in the CT raids for quick runs, ugh.

  8. It's funny what you said about Shiva hard vs EX. When I was working on mentor roulette I would get Shiva EX very frequently. I played tank and got used to the party soak. So the one time I got a hard mode I forgot it wasnt the same, and ended up wiping the group. so it definitely still happens that way to this day. 😂

  9. Best Girl Shiva was added and was the 1st Extreme that I solo Tanked and as someone that HATED Tanking and was a Healer main, was a fun experience.
    Also, PS4 inclusion was back in April of 2013. Patch 2.05 didn't release until October of 2013 so PS4 players could have been playing almost as long as ARR was available.
