Titan ex might be the only arr trial that aged well
Shiva was my lease favorite Ex trial, couldn't even finished it because of diamond dust freezing my ps3.. Good times
what the hell i had no idea about the non-tanked garuda clone.
For me personally my two favourites are Moggle Mog EX and Shiva EX (MEX and SEX as people called them). Moggle Mog purely because of how chaotic it was; it was such a glorious clusterfuck of everything everywhere.
Shiva was mainly sentimental as my friends and I sat down and farmed her out for an entire afternoon for about six hours straight, just chilling and talking about inane crap. The fight itself was also complex enough to keep you engaged…although one gripe I had with it was Lily dying over and over due to the Staff Form's constant AOE's so I had to resummon her time and time again, which was murder on the mana.
People still rock shiva weapons for glam unlike levi
I still think Titan Unreal is the hardest thing I've ever cleared. Titan in UWU is easier. Titan in Eden Savage is easier. I miss Titan Unreal, I hope they rotate Unreals back around again. It's my benchmark for a difficult fight.
I fucking KNEW Thornmarch would be lowest. FUCK that trial
I know its a ranking list and fun facts are required for every fight but I really wished you would have mentioned the quirk with using Titan-egi as a tank for Ramuh, especially since you show it off in the video! Love the video and Titan is also definitely my favorite. So many memories. So many landslides…
Titan was so extreme he was tanking Ramuh
Lol i did Odin mine like twice in the last month with random pf groups, went in n healed it n im a tank main. Got a legacy static recently cleared everything mine up to alexander n now we in A7S ….so 8-10 year old content still goin strong.
happened in my last DR with shiva hard. She swapped mid phase and the tank tankbusted me.
As much as I love Leviathan as a summon his fight was awful. I'd easily rank it at the bottom. Nothing happens in it. Moogle I would rate a lot higher as any fight with a Tank swap and having to manage hp levels actually require some brain power. I was a solo WHM player back in ARR and done all these fights in DF and I loved most of them. Even today I wish we had an EX trial roulette as some of them are so much fun synced. Easily the best Mentor roulette you can get when you spawn in with fresh players who have never done it.
Titan, Ramuh and Shiva as top 3 is no brainer. Shiva was much easier than the rest but I felt mechanically the fight was pretty well done.
I would have started a riot if Titan wasn't 1st. this was (latency aside) a crazy fun fight. recently did it MINE ad it was a blast. and now that I almost an ultimate legend, the Titan phase in UwU is a really fun part
Haha, I was gonna say, Titan EX better top. Great list. Great vid.
Titan Extreme was total HELL for use Europeans cos the latency was INSANE, LAGslide was SOOOOO ANNOYING, even if you were moving ahead of time, you could still get nailed by it. "ALL ABOARD TITAN AIRWAYS!!"
thank god they moved the servers, dont have latency issues anymore lol
You didn’t mentioned the titan egi strat in ramuh ex XD
Ultima unreal was fun, especially when we tried to tank invuln the orbs and the game went "no" lmfao, i ended up accidently popping the Tank LB3 just as the last set of orbs came up, we used that as our way of damn near ignoring the last set of orbs.
The remake of thornmarch hard, no, just toss thornmarch EX into a fire… but remake of ulima's fight… maybe redo balad of ultima?
Tells me that thornmarch might be beyond redemption.
I'm glad you had Titan at the top. All the fights with Titan are amoung my favourites.
Fun story time: I managed to get pulled into a Ramuh Ex the the other day. I did it unsynced for the wonderous tales and forgot to remove it when I queued for Agalia. To my surprise the Ex popped first and I clicked on it before i noticed the wrong number of players. So I spent an hour trying to kill him (we actually got to about 2% on one pull 😁). We even kicked an AFK player and got a replacement in quick time.
I haven't done Ramuh since he came out, let's just say I was a bit rusty. But I'm on Chaos and I was really surprised that I even got the extreme in the first place.
Maybe mention the Relic Trials in a vid as well. As someone who only just started XIV last July (6 months in now, 1351 hours played lmao), fights like Hydra are such a push over. Curious as to what it was like at launch.
the drop that let you make the shinny weapons was the best thing from moggle mog since you could sell it for 16 mil in the early days got one and it funded my raid gear 🙂 I think my fav was Shiva was the 1st fight i tried to solo heal and tank was so fun
I remember jumping into Odin when I was brand new thinking it'd be easy cuz it didn't have the Ex tag. And I was playing SCH. I've never felt so unprepared.
Don't knock the single piece glams. Aside from just being more available than the F.A.T.E., single pieces are always better than full suits. Full suits suck.
Honestly, I've always thought MogEx was fun. And it might not be so frustrating now that most DoTs and pet autos have been removed.
Oh bro, I remember off-tanking RamuhEx with an MT that really wanted to solo tank, to the point that they wouldn't let me get 3 orbs. Me and the healers spent entirely too long begging them to let us do the fight right instead of just leaving. Horrible at the time, but kinda funny to think about now.
Anyone remember normal mode garuda being a wall for many people in the story
it would be super interesting to see a ranking of every ex trial in the game. I've only started playing around 5.4 and the first ex trial I did was Memoria Misera. I'd love to hear how the current ex trials hold up compared to earlier ones.
leviathan ex is my favourite
I remember back in 2.0 when death HP penalty was still a thing, even Titan (Hard) was a nightmare for pugs.
Do you know when the next free login campaign would be?
The Chryalis is literally still an issue. When I get that thing in Roulettes I know I am in for a bad time.
I started in 2018, I wiped 4x on ifrit normal (4 man) …………when que DF also wiped, cannot imagine how it was on release
Also I did not know this "odin extreme was an extreme at all…..??? I queued it as a Red Mage back then and when it popped we had 2x wipes but I understood the gimmicks so well I guided a clear and I was so proud of it and thought later how silly it was of me…….. now I think I should be proud!
Garuda gets special recognition from me because I don't think any fight has ever changed so significantly in its mechanics from version to version. I don't think that's as good as consistency, but it was definitely neat that the fight experience was so altered.
I love Ifrit Ex as a healer.
Such a shame they removed TItans permadeath if you fall off… now you can get ressed.

I think they removed perma death on titan ex
