Ozma nuts.
Not wanting more Robots on Ice is a crime. NA should be ashamed.
I've made it thought HH a few times in PF without tank LB, but yea it's mega sketch
Man I wanna go back to Stormblood 4.4 Mnking. Give me that tk rotation again and keeping melee uptime. That shit was really fun. Not these giga sized hitboxes that are everywhere and a non punishing rotation.
lol what, P10 is not harder than P12
Savage Raids aren't that bad. The people who you do it with… holy moly…
i always felt like melee dps generally have higher dps is cause of possible uptime, so they should design bosses around that
Take a shot every time this dude says critically acclaimed in this article, holy shit let the meme die
I wish they did a special 10 year anniversary raid fight where all coil raids are remixed into one gauntlet raid. Imagine having to do a twister while kiting the cyclops lol
kinda of wish that phase 2 bosses weren't all wall bosses
18:30 it was me. I contacted Yoshi-P and Mr Oz and told them to implement the 2-minute meta ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Honestly, that makes me look forxard to see Xeno on a LL(or something similar? don't remember of it was that or something else) even more.
I mean, he's one of those players who can give fresh and good perspectives on the game they love because of them being more outspoken about it, meeting a team of designers equally amazing at their jobs(though with a few fuck ups they're trying to learn from, considering the grievances we have with the current state of the combat system and the encounter design…) for said game. It's definitely going to be an interesting debate(which will ultimately be good for the game no matter what happens after that btw).
I couldn't agree more with all the discussion around 8-11min. That's the part I try to explain to people, as a healer, I feel absolutely useless. I'm just mashing my DPS skill and calls it a day. Prog is interesting because that's where we're needed, but by the end of each tier et once the group is used to the mechanic, it's just bullshit. If it wasn't for the mechanics targeting specifically healers, forcing the group to have 2 of them, what's even the point of having 2?
Sure back then SCH could solo heal content, but it was overall harder in general to heal and you had less opportunities to DPS. I think about Twintania but even other fights where DPS had to do something and take some individual damage, instead of raid-wide damage, we needed to cast single target heals way more often.
I WANNA USE MY HEALS, NOT MY DPS T___T I'm a healer god dammit!
Honestly, ive felt the raids have gone downhill since Omega.
Eden was extremely mid with very few standout fights.
Panda is also extremely mid…with fewer standout fights.
I didnt enjoy eden story…thought it was kinda bleh. However panda story was actually good.
There was nothing hard about p10s other than fucking broken lasers deciding to change targets whenever they wanted
He is Dr Ozma? No wonder that boss was so hard in 9!!
Raid Mechanics are getting stagnant. I find the constant DPS race to be mundane and wish they would try some different avenues to beat the fight. I liked the gauntlet in Alexander or even the two bosses in Furor (Eden) raid bosses. Need some variety.
19:50 bald man could actually sing if he wanted to tbh
Need to work on the title of these videos. It should be , Bald man reminiscing about the "good old days" of ff14 while refusing to get with the times.๐
"You're a pussy! ๐คฃ๐" Sh-Shut up, Xeno! ๐ข๐
I would love to see how the devs intended to do the fights after a tier is done or when a new expansion launches. Also I've seen some strats from Twin back in the day where WHM used Stoneskin for death sentence, and DRGs had no magic mit. I didn't raid back then so idk how true that is.
I miss when the fights had tight dps checks. It just felt better than all these body check mechanics. You had to be good at your overall rotation to clear stuff
Mr. Ozma is fking goated
I know it's been forever since ARR, but nothing hits me the way OG Coils of Bahamut did
