So I got to this quest Will of the Moon

Basically we want to bring the Azim Steppe guys into our Doman alliance, but Sadu wants to 1v1 the WoL before she agrees

So aight, I start the fight. I love Sadu, but in my mind I'm like, it's an easy MSQ fight, let's just beat her up real quick and get it over with. So I beat her, and then she has a second phase. I'm like oh shit this might be interesting. Turns out she's actually got FIVE phases, and her mechanics and adds are super crazy, and for the final phase she casts meteor, and I have 60 seconds to beat her, or I'm dead.

And dude, I got fucking destroyed. Then the game offers to let me do it on easy... but, nah. I respect Sadu too much. I ain't gonna do her dirty like that. And besides, Big Chalupa ain't bitch-made.

So I start thinking like damn... I need to git gud. I've been playing this game super casual up till now. Like I know my basic rotation and my AoE rotation, but I havent given THAT much thought to much else.

So aight. I go out and start getting all my tome gear. I go back and get all my Samurai quests caught up, and unlock a new move. But it still ain't enough.

So Saturday night my boy comes over, and he's like "watch me do a savage fight." And this dude has TWO hotbars stacked on each other, and he's pushing like 9000 buttons a second and moving all around with all these other dudes doing insane mechanics my brain can't even comprehend. It was like watching a pro Smash player wavedash all around and mashing buttons. And here I was pushing like one button at a time and waiting for cooldowns like some chode. Pushing R1 to cycle through hotbar tabs and shit.

So today I set up the extra hotbar, and I just start mashing the fuck out of every button, and doing every move ASAP in-between my rotations, and I'm moving into different positions around the enemy to do flank/rear damage, and I'm eating food to give me buffs, and I'm just going crazy. And I BARELY beat her with like 5 seconds to go, and I only had like 100 hp left. It was honestly incredible, and probably one of my favorite fights so far. And I got a glimpse of the true potential of FF14's combat, and I'm fucking here for it.

And man I just love Sadu. She's becoming one of my favorite characters in the entire game.
