I can't help but feel like "Who Hunts The Whale" is a genius title for the subject of that book.
I have to say, while the editing in these is always good, I like the way it was done in this episode more than in some others. I prefer the 'let's fast forward through combat/dungeons' approach more than the cut to black and skip ahead style. I feel like it gives a better sense of flow and connective tissue between events. That plus watching people experience boss fights that they've never seen before and have to figure out the mechanics on the fly tends to be the only time that the actual gameplay part of FF14 is actually interesting to watch. XD So I appreciated that we got to actually watch it unfold in this episode.
Oh, i never knew they redid Midgarsormr fight. Originally, you had those Phantom Kin spawned like adds, and you had to kill them, but with a twist – they tethered to boss, and depending on the tether, you should keep one near boss, and another away from boss, or you won't be able to deal dmg to them. When you kill an add, Middy will start his room wide one-shot AoE, but the scavenger bird (first boss) will arrive with shield generator. So you get the bird, use the generator to block, and repeat the process for 2nd Phantom Kin. Killing a ghost dragon dealt like 40% HP dmg to Middy, so basically you defeat him by killing his dragons.
Yes yes YES! I have been waiting for this one and wanted to see Skyen’s thoughts on the Midgardsormr cutscene SO BAD! Can’t wait to see it.
