As part of my journey of an Eorzean lifetime, I am playing through the lifecycle of Final Fantasy XIV. Join me as I take a retrospective look at the FF14 patch 2.2 Before the Fall trailer and website on my WoW to FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Journey, time to check out Patch 2.5 Before the Fall!
This is my journey from WoW to FFXIV: A Realm Reborn, leading on through Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker and finally into the brand new expansion, Dawntrail.

Anyone knows the name of the soundtrack right at the beginning? I remember searching for it couple weeks ago but couldnt find it
Love the commitment to doing things in patch order. I couldn't resist going to the Gold Saucer at level 15. There is going to be an update to it this expansion also Fall Guys collab periodically will come back so you might want to check that out (tons of goodies).
Honestly? I wanna say the Saucer looks so much better with the new graphics and lighting…
Also, I wish you a good time learning Triple Triad 🙂
Secret Ascian Man is dead rip bozo. Your mutton chops and nasaly voice won't be missed! I'll never forgive him for who he took from us…
I love you doing these patch trailer watching, i hadn't seen anyone do this before so it's a nice trip down memory lane. one thing i'd suggest as a tourist who's only caught your videos on youtube. If you made a video announcing the date you're going to do 2.55 it'll help let the community know and you'll probably see a large turnout. I know if i'm able to i'd be there for sure.
I will tell you right now: Ever since I discovered the Triple Triad card collection that they've added, I haven't stopped collecting this entire time. It's such a time sink to build decks, collect cards, and play in tournaments. Good luck!
For context regarding Odin: He was available right from the start of 2.0 as a random Super FATE boss in the entire Shroud. His respawn timer was long, appearing only once every few days, on average being twice a week.
His FATE was special because it forced a unique weather condition in the entirety of the Shroud except for Gridania, called "Tension", in which the whole forest would be enshrouded in a dark gloom mist. The FATE was also not visible on the Map, and people had to actively search for it through the minimap only and then relay the coords to everyone else who wished to participate. Odin FATE Linkshells were quite common back then.
His FATE remained one of the biggest and most difficult fights due to the sheer damage it deals. Even though now you are Sync'd at level 70 despite being a level 50 FATE, Odin is still a menace due to the miriad of fast and wide attacks he deals, on top of his regular Auto attacks being a frontal cleave that applies stacking Physical Vulnerability damage. The cleave is also a shared damage attack, which required back then a lot of tanks to take the damage at the same time.
The FATE also had a special feature, and that is for every successful kill of Odin, he would gain 1 level and become stronger for the next time, meaning you could be facing a level 60 Odin when back then the cap level was 50 for players. Lastly, whoever did the killing blow on Odin, the next time he would show up, he would take the form of said player character, with the player character name below the Odin name. It was quite funny to randomly encounter Odin, only to see he was the size of a Lalafell.
Just know they've changed the boss fights, especially the last one, since the patch was first released.
