This week in Final Fantasy XIV we pick up where we left off last week with more Aloalo Island. We’re on a mission to map the entire place and find every route in this latest Variant Dungeon.

In Aloalo, it's not just being the master of the bait, but the dangle of your angle(r).
I like Variant dungeons with friends, but … yeah, soloing them is sssssuper boring.
Patiently waiting for Blue Mage content.
You did this to you by bit going with party – could have been a quick thing
Why don't you bring some muscle into these things?
I do quite like the Statice mount. I wish she could be a Scholar fairy glamour, though. She could use her gun like a magic wand.
"Stand around with his rod in his hand." In public?!
You know what would make these not boring? Playing with other people.
These are designed to allow 4 players.
On dodos: You're horribly mistaken about them. Long story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXVLPqY1FrY
Short story: Dodos were the Apex Predator on their island and nothing could kill them, so they grew so large they couldn't fly because they didn't have to. When humans arrived, they had no instincts to fear humans, because for millions of years nothing could kill them, which is why people could just pick them up. And then they went extinct because Monkeys and Dogs were introduced to the island, and because evolution taught them they were safe, they weren't able to fend them off. This is how most species go extinct, something not from their area is brought in and kills everything because they aren't evolved against it, so it isn't even special to Dodos.
I feel that when soloing variant dungeons, they only really shine when you're actually solving them at the same time. If you're just following a guide then yeah that definitely breaks any of the mental engagement of looking for paths and puzzling things out.
One day, Cider will go too far, and then he will TREMBLE before Pasasun
The most fun I had in the variant dungeons was reading the journal entries and solving the puzzles to get all the routes. The criterion dungeons though, that's a different story
Sure hope you got all the tripple triad cards, for those achievements too lol =)
Resurrecting animals from the dawn of the Ice Age seems like a terrible idea as we begin leaving the Ice Age. Once the planet is fully Tropical again bring back dinosaurs!
Funny enough I been doing same thing yesterday with Aloalo and got the Fairy, works amazing with Lala, gotta use it as my main mount now.
Oh sweet it’s Friday
Varient dungeons should give xp for level 80+. Such a waste that it doesn't, makes no one queue for it do you have to run it solo
Soundwave superior, subsonics inferior. 😁
as someone from new zealand, i take offense to the insults towards flightless birds.
…Okay, for that mount I will actually do the dungeon 12+ times.
I believe that Statice is a recolor of Feo Ul and now that I've mentioned you'd might never be able to unsee it.
But Statice is the good kind of recolor
A couple of notes. I swear in a past video, you sported that hairstyle. Yet I noticed it didn't have a checkmark on it saying you owned it already.
As for the lizard. Keep it out for a bit and you'll see why it has the bow. It is of course a chameleon so it'll just go invisible except the bow for a few seconds at random.
I don't think I'd survive doing these solo.. let alone as a healer lol. I did a few solo during the first Sil'dah ones, but that was torture lol.
The Aloalo chests actually have six furnishing items, a parasol, and two minions, but the drop rate for any non-prism item is so comically insanely low. The minions aren't even good but they go for a few hundred thousand gil on the markets just for being rare. I know it's the Criterion dungeons that get all the rewards discourse, but the base variants are pretty awful, it's the only content in the game where the rewards would unironically be better if chests dropped materia sometimes, just for the variety.
AAAAGGH
Suffering XD I would advice to do this on a dps job: mobs die waaaaay faster. I've been doing all of them solo on SMN and its… not a breeze, but they dye fast enough 😀
+1 for Batsquatch
You know, it would go faster if you took a DPS inside instead of a tank. When I was doing this shit for the fairy mount it took less than 15 minutes per run on rpr.
If there's one thing that sucks about a lot of the bosses in the game it's that they're damage sponges to the extreme.
Hello, local morbol obsessed person here: If you count all the standard morbols and the variant models, it's basically four. You got standard, one with the bulbs, the little floating ones and the big morbol towers. I would love a couple more variants but that is just me and my crazy morbol love~
Fun fact: dodos are technically pigeons so if you have ever had pigeon it probably tastes like that
I saw what you did there 21:27
