not to suprising shiva is mostly just the tank doing most of the stuff while dps just dps. Love that u liked old man ramuh i agree he is one of the more fun ex primals.
🙂
I love the smile that preach has just talking about his journey so far in the vanilla of this game compared to wow, I can't wait for you to get even further in this game. As a wow convert myself im so happy i made the switch
further clarification on "min ilvl": normally when you sync down in level, you are put at the BEST possible stats for that lvl. so for example, at lvl50(end off arr) the max ilvl was 130. so any fight you do that syncs you to 50 will put you at 130ilvl. but not all fights are designed to be fought at 130. base lv50 gear was around ilvl50, so there's 80 points of ilvl in-between a fresh patch 2.0 lv50 and patch 2.5 maxed lv50. so a min ilvl sync will FURTHER reduce your ilvl to the minium ilvl require at the time of release. so if leviathan ex originally required ilvl 100, selecting min ilvl would set you to ilvl100, instead of 130.
basically, it counters the over gearing that happens over time within an expac
To be fair, Ramuh Extreme is more of a "coming of age" for tanks because this is where the tank swapping is really emphasized, hence why most of the community see this as a difficult encounter due to the limited number of "decent" tanks, to the point that if a mentor who queues up in the Mentor Roulette as another class except tank, they immediately leave the trial kekw.
Completely agree about the post ARR stuff, I really feel like as long as you like reading it’s perfectly fine or even good and easily enjoyable. Some people talk about it like it’s actively bad or painful but I have imagine those are the people that view say 3 hours of reading dialogue as 3 hours of wasted time
Hildibrand Stan here. He’s great
I don’t believe ff14 try to copy WoW
I do would like to see what about was copy ???
Lol the tanks got the hardest fight working off the debuff timers with the 3 orbs
Does me good to see you so happy playing FF14.
Godbert is a goldsmith. . . . and a legend.
You are in for a treat. You are getting very, very close. If you enjoy the filler stuff, God you're going to love how this ends.
Also, grab the popcorn when you decide you want to do those last 2 quests. Massive cutscenes and huge plot twists.
Briardien has a little stand-alone sidequest thing in Ishgard as well of his own. It's a bit more serious and it deals somewhat with a people having to deal with a new schism in religion and the truth behind it and how to go on now…
Ramuh is my favorite to. That fight is so much fun to do.
The PERFECT voice for Godbert is Alex Louis Armstrong's English VA from Fullmetal Alchemist. You can't change my mind.
Preach is hooked 🙂
I don't get the ui issue. How is it antiquated? I get if you just don't like how it looks, so be it. Blaming consoles for it is really weird too.
Weird thing to get hung up on, i know.
Man I'm way too excited to see preach taking on savage in the future, if he's having this good of a time with ARR content he's gonna be blown by the later content.
One thing that's quite amusing is that a number of the harder versions of fights are framed as just being a Bard's 'slightly' embellished retelling of your fight.
Hildebrand is required for a couple of good fights in later expanisions. The content isn't for me, but you can skip the cutscenes and get through it pretty quickly.
What is crazy is that I have skipped a lot of side quests and I am level 54 and I haven't even gotten to Heavensward lol
does this mean you did Thornmarch extreme also?
If he loves endurance and spectacle… Jesus he is going die of enjoyment in pretty much every fight going forward.
ramuh is my fav EX fight of ARR too, i love everything about it. the scenery, music (omg the OST so good), mechanics and mount just everything
Its cool how the different bosses appeal to different people depending on what they like and their class
Absolutely agree with preach's first Ramuh experience. I was having outter body experiences 8n that trial. It was super fun.
All in the free trial still too. 🙂
I really enjoy these videos as someone who followed you from World of Warcraft. Thanks for posting these! I don't get time to catch your stream, and usually catch some videos between work, and such things–while I eat! Can't wait to see more!! <3
Is it just me or Preach is looking younger? 🤔
Does he know you can fully customize your UI to weakaura levels?
Oh boy, wait until you reach the real gaming in later expansions. It's literally mindlowing, and the music gets even better. There's some crazy mechanics. What you have now is the tip of the cake.
The extreme primal encounters are canonically just a bard exaggerating the stories of the encounters lol.
calling the ff14 UI antiquated is kinda a moot point considering most of the wow playerbase use UI mods 🙂
Shiva was more of a 'Last Hurrah' boss done at the highest item level. She wasn't wholly designed to be super difficult. She was only difficult because back then you were dealing with 500 ping.
Your voice acting is unironically top tier among the FFXIV streamers I'm not even kidding
So Preach, you still haven't answered the most important question.
After all this….Do you believe in Eorzea?
I agree on the UI. even the old game Risen 1 has a better UI design. you clearly need some help or someone to setup your UI, there are many things which are not essential in certain situations and you can hide up to 70% of it conditionally. when I'm in combat I only see 3 hotbars and 2-3 enemy stats + my buffs debuffs for example
P.S you will automatically become a way better player once you set it up right
Ifrit is a super hard fight for the healers. I've also had different groups take from 2 to 6 hours in there.
