Good ol "Find a Hole Fill a Need' Rhaya. well done

4:43 Marc sounding like a tie fighter god damn

Someone should've said "Water is not a substitute for when taking it behind." at 8:00

Keaton is my favorite member this tier. No contest. Sorry Hans

I know this is late by a few months, but I am a returning player for dawntrail and figured I'd throw my two cents in since I'm getting back into your content. I'm also writing this all down before watching your video, it really is just my two cents. I what made me not play any endwalker after the initial patch was there were just many minor annoyances that really started to pile up. I wasn't a fan of many of the class changes starting in shadowbringers but it felt like classes were becoming even less distinct in endwalker (actually the nail in the coffin might have been the removal of Kaiten from samurai, but that's not exactly a homogeneous thing just a change I didn't really like). I think the pacing of endwalker was HORRIBLE, which was actually something I praised a lot in the rest of the game. I have a memory of WoL in their chase of zenos discovering the teleporter to the moon to finding zodiark, to killing zodiark happening in a flash, while we spent more time with the loporits than that whole chain combined. The expansion killed every big threat that was looming over the story for awhile with zodiark, zenos, the cataclysm, hydaelyn (because of the intrigue of "do we trust her"), and the last ascian, but didn't give a new threat. it REALLY felt like a dead end in the story because going to the edge of the universe to kill the BBEG who even the asicans had no chance against feels like (at the time if writing I haven't touched dawntrail yet) the story is written itself into a corner. I am hopeful that with the new Hrothgar lady who can give us a new story arch from a new character.

How do i find a static let alone a static as unproblematic as nest

The background Corey laugh in the intro was spot on

12:17 PSA: If you have a grounded cast like Sacred Soil, if you push the cast button again instead of clicking, it will ignore all other targets under your mouse except for the ground its above Youre welcome. Lol

1:17 - I got kicked out of Syrcus Tower because...I put Kardia on the tank. "The tank isn't taking aggro you should put it on yourself"....So...that was a new one

I need this redone with Viper included. Yes.

Coming back to this, while doing Dawntrail, is nostalgic but also anxiety inducing, in case it happens again.

10,000% worth it. I needed this today thank you

Balance is for the purpose of increasing fun. So if your balancing is not fun, then you have failed. I really dislike that people separate the two subjects. Just had to get that pet peeve out of the way :)

After watching this for a third time I have come to the conclusion that---Scribble and I have very similar senses of humor

First, I want leveling design, and by extension, Level Sync design to NOT suck, because not having over half of your buttons before level 50 SUCKS!!! I want to move away from ARR Paladin design where you have the most boring GCD rotation until you reach a certain level and that's IF the job is even ALLOWED to have fun in the first place. Second, I'm crazy enough to want 15-30 second meta for ALL cooldowns, because the frequent your cooldowns are, the more likely you are to be engaged with the game. Third, more GCDs for my GCD rotation WOULD be nice too have and I want to bring back old Enmity combos because we generate SO much enmity WITH Tank stance that I feel like enmity generation on tanks NEEDS to be nerfed. Fourth, I would LOVE to see the devs bring back breakable parts for not just higher end content, but for casual content as well. Fifth, It takes WAY TOO LONG to get to the VERY FIRST DUNGEON of ANY expansion, and I need an appetizer dungeon to satiate that hunger.

Agree on alot. I would add this: more spatial mechanics where you have to *dynamically* interact with your teammates Lightning chains of ramuh savage or Nisi from TEA.

Yeah more off tank shit! Please I beg of you (cbu3)! I like the healer clash idea. Doesn't have to be a shield healer thing, could just be a role action. I think the real takeaway is that they could be more experimental. Everything said here could get stale if overused.

Who does the art of the gang? I would kill to have my WoL drawn by the artist

"i always knew after all these years of fighting gods, we'd end up fighting Birds." *Laughs in Endwalker*

39:46 emotional damage.

You truly have a gift with editing.

“Shoulder. Deep. Cloud!”

I think part breaking/ topple is a good idea. I would have is that the party get 3-5 break/topple in a fight. each time you do break/topple it cancel the boss mechanic it doing altogether but each mechanic is much harder to deal with. This will I feel like would add choices to fights while keeping the structure design.

Seeya in Dawntrail everybody! :D

Man i should form a static

Jesus Drak lol

**entire speech on black mage being a selfish bastard** … “s tier.” as a black mage player, Yeah….

Breaking stuff sounds like just phasing without the phasing. Like WoW's targeting arms so you can then target the head, and that the arms are tied to other attacks, and the body has separate attacks. Or the first boss in Antorus, where you had to kill the guns one at a time, during phase transition, or you just get blasted into oblivion. I could see THAT working as a game mechanic in 14, but MonHun stuff wouldn't work well, without it being VERY encounter heavy, and honestly, I wouldn't find it very fun at all, look at how maligned Rathalos is, and was moreso when released. And I think you have a bit of a point with the heal check, but make it a whole encounter. Like dragon chick in ICC, or better yet, since 14 loves DPS checks, make it Tsulong from Terrace of Endless Spring, where you can either "kill" him when he is in angry dragon phase, or heal him when he is in "I am sorry, plz help me daddy," phase. The DPS phase has obvious mechanics, but the primary focus is getting his health low, or "killing him," but he can transition when his health is low, and he gets attacked. If he "dies" in friendly phase, the fight is a loss. You also CAN technically win if you heal him to full, from near death, but that is a rarity, as the main point of the heal check is making sure he doesn't die, but balancing the fact you have to keep him low enough to kill him next phase shift. I think as experimental, the one in ICC, where you goal is to keep dragon alive, while killing the big bad guys who are keeping her imprisoned, would work better as a first time. It has obvious goal (save the target,) while giving the other roles their own jobs in it that isn't just dodge mechanic or let mechanic resolve.

I think the wrong placement should just be named "resc-rude" with how often it was involved 😅

This was absolutely excellent -- hope our joy was worth your pain, Scribble :D

It took me several hours to watch this because I kept rewinding to watch parts over and over so I could laugh and laugh :D The amount of patience you have to watch all of this footage, sift through it for the good stuff, and transcribe all of the shenanigans is legendary :)

A lot of what you suggested is in the game already like the Rathalos fight, and healers having to focus on a non party target in Hall of the Novice and Thordan Ultimate. It's really just a matter of application of the ideas. So we'll see what they do. My biggest criticism of the fights in XIV is the lack of Z Axis usage (about 3 uses: Spider boss in Void Ark, Turn 1 in Coil, & the Field Operation Raids) (+1 if you count 1.0 Nael). There's a whole dimension they could be using. Seperating the group into various Light Parties (& not necessarily T/H/D/D) would help bring huge variety. Like, why wasn't there someone in the G Warrior bot against Diamond Weapon aside from contrivance?

Bless You. You do Hydaelyn's work

Oh gawd I did it again

Granblue mention!

This is the style of content I miss most from WoTT, I'm so happy to see it again even with a different cast!

@7:30 one of the things i really wish FFXIV would embrace more in fight design is "soft enrages". you see this a lot of WoW (which say what you will, WoW has some of the best examples of non-scripted raid design in any MMO). a soft enrage differes from a hard in that it is typically a cumulative and persistent effect that simply becomes impossible to handle after a time. the final boss in brayflox longstop before the rework was a really good example of this. as the fight progressed he would drop puddles of bad on the ground that didn'g go away, eventually there wouldn't be anywhere to stand and you would wipe. Vulnerability debuff stacks are actually a common example of something that is close to a soft enrage. as you fail a lot of higher end mechanics you get a vulnerability debuff that makes subsequent failures do more damage, eventually any mechanic will simply 1 shot you, but that is on a personal raider level and not a raid wide level (unless it's a raid wide mechanic that places a vulnerability debuff on everyone). we could extrapolate this out and use it to different effects such as a stacking "healing down" debuff or a stacking "mana cost up" debuff on healers, etc. I would also love to see more interaction design that comes from the boss arena. this is another thing i recall us seeing a lot mroe of in ARR. a big square and or circle gets really boring after enough of them, while things like fighting rhalgar on a stone effigy of his hand add visual flair and we should want more of that. give us platforms and strange beams we need to cycle through and puddles of bad stuff we need to bring adds to and kill in and stuff like that. i know a lot of examples of it exist, but the mainline content pipeline has very few examples of it. most times it's jsut a big ass square or circle arena and a god off to one side you punch while avoiding the bad stuff on the floor.

A-F tier lists are so boring. Make them fun!

I can already see how pissy the vocal part of the community would be if things were more “RNG” and not a pattern of sorts. This is honestly a case of “You want your cake and to eat it too.” As a tank the only thing I honestly want is that puckering moment of barely surviving a buster even with high mit. Or give me a shock factor in a boss saying “Fuck your invuln” and dealing a good amount of damage instead, but nulling the invuln. And the “Fuck your invuln” can happen on any buster or whatever. Yeah this makes all but PLD basically feel in danger, but this also gives healers something to look out for so the tank doesn’t die to an auto.

Nice timing haha

GW2 has occasonal break bar mechanics that require CC abilities to prevent an effect from going off. Similar to an interrupt but requires more than just one person hitting interrupt. WHile it is a different beast since GW2 has a lot of CC tools are built into weapons / abilities, I do think more fights could make more use of all the tools available to the player.

Doesnt uwu have a lot if what you ask

As much as I despise wow, I would love to see some raid mechanics from wow make their way into ffxiv. Particularly, I want to see a heal the "boss" kind of encounter. Where the "boss" is a friendly npc who is mortally wounded, and it's up to the party to fully heal them, while also dealing with enemies who are coming to try and kill them. This would make healing actually fun and challenging for once.

Yes.

Great ideas, a controversial suggestion Shift: changes a mechanic or influences the field, a basic one would be a single tankbuster could become a multi hit or hit multiple targets. Field wise something a long the lines of a healer shield and heal buff or maybe tanks get better mit or even dps gain a short boost. The most important part however is that it isn't choreographed but happens freely. however to prevent problems when an encounter starts a certain number of "cards" are shown indicating the number of times it will occur. It should also though to a lesser degree appear in all current max lvl content to help ease players into the mechanic.

Also I sincerely hope further development of jobs goes away from the rigid 2-minute routine and offers us more variety in how we play. From what I’ve heard of Viper and Pictomancer it seems like maybe they are going that way? Like for Viper you can choose left sword or right sword. Summoner kiiiiind of has some variety in which order they do ITG I guess. But yeah, less rigid structure and more room for experimentation and individuality would be fun I think.

These are great ideas, and I do think more responsibilities for specific roles would be fun, things besides “tank take damage, healer heal damage, DPS just kill boss faster.” Like, even with DPS, give more reason for them to be playing as a melee, phys ranged, or caster. Maybe make the boss have phases where it’s weak to a certain type of damage, and for ranged maybe make raised platforms they can stand on and perform mechanics from. Kind of like the turrets from the old Steps of Faith trial, except they just use their own weapons.

As a Tank player who mostly sticks to MSQ n EXs, I really miss the power fantasy of clashing with the boss like in the susanoo fight, we could have had more of that
