Really, I’m not sure how I can easily prove to you that I played Final Fantasy 14 solo without using the marketboard or roulettes or parties or retainers outside of uploading the 100 hours of ff14 footage I have, but I’m pretty sure I’m the only one insane enough to care anyway. I mean I showed almost every ff14 craft and gather I did.
Can you play FFXIV solo? Singleplayer FFXIV even? I don’t even know what to call this. I mean it’s definitely not ff14 money making. I might be an Ultimate Legend UWU rdm pov, but I’m not sure how that’s relevant. Maybe this is a FFXIV solo guide? Final Fantasy 14 Warrior solo?

From February 23rd 2023 to November 12th, There's so much more to do even now. I hope you'll look forward to it.
The madman did the WHOLE season 1 in one vid. LES GO
It was a hell of a journey. Ngl I thought this was a ridiculous series at first, but I've loved following you. I've loved finding about about all these hidden relics of the past that I had no reason to know they were in there.
Glad to have been here from the beginning. The skies the limit Rath, onward to the heavens next!
Perfect an almost 5 hour background noise supercut??? Hell yeah! Amazing that it's so long. Can't wait to listen to it as I play.
oh boy supercut, i'm not doing anything else today
holy piss has it been that long already?????? GUH
perfect something to listen to and watch as I grind palace on my solo thanks for the vid and the inspiration to give the challenge a go myself Rath
I've seen it all when it was Sundered, but now that the Rejoining is complete, I can watch it again in its truest splendor!
You inspired me to start my own solo character too. I adopted a different ruleset, as I don't have a ton of time myself, but I still think it'll come with some challenges at certain points. My ruleset is:
1. I may only use quest rewards and buy from NPCs. No crafting or marketboard is allowed. This means an easy start, but will it remain so easy as I hit the higher level plateaus? (Dungeon gear is fine too)
2. I have to do as many sidequests as I can before progressing the MSQ. Due to the wonky nature of quest reveal requirements being based on level, this is something of a soft rule. Otherwise I would have to grind to level 70 before I could start the MSQ due to the Reaper Unlock quests. (Though I kind of intend to do this in a manner of speaking, because I believe doing Praetorium unsync'd as a 70 reaper or 60 Gunbreaker for a first time completion will be hilarious)
3. For fun I have to try and sequence break as many dungeons as possible. Because of the unstable nature of ARR dungeon unlocks, this means I can unlock high level dungeons before progressing the MSQ. I unlocked my first dungeon yesterday. The first dungeon I have gained access to is Cutter's Cry.
4. Knowing that a 24 man is required to progress, I have exempted it from breaking the run. Since I don't have a squad of ironmen like you do, I will sleep soundly even though it will break my DFless streak.
5. I will also exempt dungeon runs with Grand Company NPCs, as this is required for achieving max GC rank, and the NPCs treat you as a nucleus so if you die they reset to the entrance with you. Also these won't be used for initial progression.
6. Echo/Epic Echo will be allowed, if necessary. Sometimes though, I am going to just unsync and pimp smack anything that I think it would be funny to break by being overpowered. (mainly because I've already pushed myself a lot in BLU solos and other similar solos in the past).
Thanks for all the fun watching and inspiration! I'll never be a Rath Gamer, but I am a Rath Enjoyer!
I think the best part about this, is how much I feel it captured the old A Realm Reborn feel. Felt like I was rewinded back to when I started playing during 2.0 launch. How crafting was satisfying and useful throughout all the levels and exploring the world. Even if you lvl past them, you must still go back to either gather materials or kill mobs. It filled me with Nostalgia the first time I watched your first post, and it does again when I watched this Omnibus of a video with all of it together. Thank you Rath.
I had forgotten how much work you had to do to get where you are in solo only great work and keep on going.
LORE ACCURATE WOL!!!!
its been a joy following these videos and occasionally popping into frighteningly confusing streams
watched the full series all at once only a small bit ago, but yeah i'll rewatch it ur vids are great
ive used the solo videos as a way to fall asleep quite a few times (their soothing vibes are perfect for nights when my mind wont stop racing lol) so this is perfect <3
BLU can't do MSQ, but you could use it the first time to get Solo progress then do a more traditional playthrough for the MSQ, getting around the limited job restriction.
It wouldn't technically be cheating, since you'd already have gone through legitimately solo.
I thought this would be borderline impossible even before all your extra caveats like not being able to use NPC resources or quest gear.
ahhh yess, directors cut
Thank you for this, after you started streaming I lost track of the episodes. I'm glad I can watch this amazing series in one place!
This hurts my brain to think of even attempting…you are genuinely incredible to me. I admire your tenacity and love for this game to do something like this. Good luck on your journey going forward and thank you for sharing it with us!
Now i can enjoy company of someone losing their mind in just one video while losing my own mind farming ARR relic, thank you so much!
Thanks for this. it's perfect to put on the second monitor while I grind every ARR relic book set.
4/10 sets complete!
Oh also, I know the Batraal struggle in a manner of speaking. When I leveled Blue Mage in this game for the first time, I made it my mission to level it solo and get every spell I could as soon as I could, also solo.
This lead me to doing dungeons solo starting at level 16, and I continued to do them solo as I leveled as soon as I could.
Even with White Wind, Mighty Guard, and Basic Instinct, Batraal was still able to kill BLU quite easily as I could not get the higher end spells, and so I could not use the full might of Blue Mage against him sync'd, as is a perk of a max level BLU.
At level 45 I reached him with about 65 minutes left in the dungeon, and my first run of the dungeon, Batraal ran me out of time completely across 5 or 6 attempts. In my second run of the dungeon I was able to beat him. BARELY. By the end of the fight he was at 6% and I was attempting to kite him some. I ran out of MP for White Wind and my potion was on cooldown, and I needed 2 casts of Blood Drain to get enough to White Wind, so it came down to a make or break moment where Eruption came off cooldown just as he was reaching me, and I Swiftcasted 1000 Needles for the kill. Just as a Grim Fate was starting to go off when I only had 800 HP.
Congratulations! <3
is this a new voiceover too? LOVE IT
