Welcome back to Tiny Blue Games! My name is Csaw or Chris, and today we are talking about Final Fantasy 14 in 2021. Today we are continuing our journey through the post-Heavensward main scenario quests as we start the 3.4 story. Things start off with a nice dinner and end off with us climbing a huge cliff in a new dungeon… so a pretty normal day for the world of FFXIV!

As a relatively new ffxiv player, I have enjoyed giving my first impressions of the many different pieces of content this game has to offer. If you are interested in exploring the game yourself I suggest you check out the Final Fantasy 14 free trial. This trial lets play all the way to level 60 (including both the base ARR and Heavensward expansion), with no time restrictions. It was ultimately the free trial that convinced me to dive into the full game and the new Shadowbringers expansion!

👀 Was he going to poison the drink???

  1. Xelphatol is kinda a speed run dungeon buy with. Its own mechanics that kinda feels like if you don't work together to take out mobs between the bosses you may end up either being delayed or overrun but thankfully you had a dancer and White mage with you on your run so that's lucky at least!

  2. This brings back a lot of memories. I really didn't like the heroes of darkness at first since they felt like such a random tangent, but their story gets good

  3. as of right now your char knows at best 20 percent of what going on. source(they world we are on) was broke in 13 shards the 13th was killed by darkness making the void. you find out more later

  4. Just a couple of extra things to note about what happened in that last cut scene. As the Word of the Mother explained in a previous cutscene, and was briefly mentioned here, the calamities are caused by the rejoining of a shard with the Source. In total there have been seven calamities so far, meaning seven of the thirteen shards have been rejoined. In addition to these seven, The Warrior of Darkness just explained here that the Thirteenth was consumed by darkness and became the Void. Now, remember you have been to the Void, so you know what that result looks like. The World of Darkness alliance raid takes place in the Void, and it's also where Voidsent such as Imps, Bombs, Demons, Vodoriga and Succubi, just to name a few, come from.

    So, at this point you know the fates of eight of the thirteen shards. Seven were rejoined, one became the Void. In addition you now know that the First has listed dangerously toward light, and is at risk of succumbing to a similar fate as that of the Thirteenth.

    There is actually quite a lot more information to unpack in this cutscene, but explaining it now would necessitate delving into spoiler territory so I'll leave it here.

    Dungeon Notes!

    Boss 1: Nuzal Hueloc
    Once the turret is destroyed it will cast Hot Air, an unavoidable room-wide AoE that launches everyone into the air. The idea here is you want to stand under the boss (marked with a swirling wind pattern on the ground) so that you get launched up and hit him to bring him back down to the ground so that he's targetable again. You didn't get far enough into the fight to see this, but Airstone will tether to the turret or the boss, and shield them, and need to be destroyed before you can deal with any other mechanics.

    Boss 2: Dotoli Ciloc
    As you found out, once the fight starts, the outer ring is filled with spikes that deal heavy damage over time as long as you're standing on them. On Low is a conal tank buster, so probably quite obvious at this point, but don't stand in front of the boss (unless you're tanking). On High is a room-wide knockback; you want to try and get knocked into one of the four barricades and not into the spikes. Swiftfeather makes the boss's next attack an instant cast, this will always be followed up with On Low. Dark Wings will mark a random player and hit them with a light AoE that leaves a tornado behind, standing in the tornado will deal damage over time.

    Boss 3: Tozol Huatotl
    You honestly figured out pretty much all of the mechanics for this fight. Just mentioning that this is the second time you have seen that stack marker, the first time being during the Final Steps of Faith for Akh Morn. Just note that for all content past this point that they have standardized on that marker to be the "stack here" indicator.

  5. Watching this is difficult because I have so much to say but I can’t. I’m excited for you to experience how all the puzzle pieces come together later in the story. Until then I’ll just keep my mouth shut.

  6. So I think you got a little confused about the warriors of darkness. Essentially they are Hydeln's champions of their world like you are for the source and they succeeded in defeating the Acians. But, like you surmised it threw their world out of balance and now light is destroying the world and reducing it to nothing.

    P.S you have actually been to part of the thirteenth shard it is the raid World of Darkness from the crystal tower alliance raids

  7. Everyone's got their own opinions and favorite points in the game. For me, I've always considered 3.4 as one of, if not the best patch (story-wise) in the game. That may even still be the case to this day but I'd really have to think about it as Shadowbringers seriously brought it's A-game. I'm curious to see how you will feel about it overall though because, like I said, we all have our own takes on things. I'm just happy to watch you go through the game.

  8. I can't take you seriously as a chicken. A potato chicken. I bawk at this.
    And yes, I too was leery of being wined and dined by Aymeric. There's already been an attempt on his life, and we've gotten knocked out more than once.
