  1. Sorry for the long gap between videos! I'm hoping to get back on schedule, but I spent way too long practicing my edits and trying out new things on this one… Absolutely let me know if it was over-edited or distracting—always happy to learn, and as always, thank you so much for watching! 😀

  2. New to high end; tried timidly starting PF groups for O12S a couple times but ultimately chickened out before people joined xD. After watching this, I'll probably try out some extreme stuff first. Great vid as usual!

  3. I’ve been recruiting for a static for months. It’s just as much a mixed bag as PF is. My server is extremely casual, (Faerie) so I very rarely get takers. Those I get I’ve only been able to keep 5. Still short a ranged and a melee dps 😞 it’s taken so long, we’re only at p6s. But the people I did find? I’ll never play without them again. They’ve become my best friends. I’d recommend making a static or finding one to anyone. The lifelong friends you can make are invaluable.

  4. Glad to see you back! Another highly entertaining and well edited video. I think the editing works really well with your humor.

    I'm only a sprout 🌱 somewhere in base Stormblood, so it will take me a while to get even close to raiding, but it's something that always kinda sits in the back of my mind. It's a bit of a relief to see that the start isn't as steep as I thought.

    (Also does this mean the bunboi is gone for good? ; _ ; )

  5. awesome video, liked for the lala alone. lalafells are the best part of ffxiv. every time i log in, i'm greeted with the joy of realizing that i play the best race in the game hands down. i'm so cute it's not fair to other people, but really it is, because they could've been lalafells too but chose not to, so if anything they deserve what they get.

    oh also the video is cool too. i've been thinking about getting back into raiding again so maybe this is a sign to take the plunge

  6. Hey there. I was formally the rank 7 paladin in the world back in eden's gate for a few months and would like to add that if people want to do high-end raiding that they should be ready for elitism and other things that don't really exist in the general raid community. I know there are ambitious players out there and the fact of the matter is that the experience is fun but you can very easily get your experience sullied in FFXIV if you don't keep good company. I was rank 7, 20 and 50 respectively for three separate tiers (Also cleared e8s week 1) and I know, like many other high-end raiders, that there is a lot of things that go on behind the scenes where people are ostracized even when they are simply trying their best. This is just a cautionary reminder to all of those players who want to raid and have their eyes set on content like ultimates and the like.

  7. Hello, I'm doing an academic research about FFXIV and I would like to get how the content creators feels about some aspects of the game. Would you like to participate by answering some questions about the game?
