Yeah Dun Scaith is definitely on the harder side as far as alliance raids go (possibly the hardest one, actually? It might just be that I go months between runs and forget mechanics, though).

Then finally got far enough into the story to unlock paladin and read up about what I'll be doing with it in the future when I unlock those abilities. Almost like a fighting game where I just have to memorize one really long combo --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

It doesnt really matter (and you can switch later). The most important difference is how convenient the location is (the Flames are right next to the aetheryte which is nice); they also give you different cosmetic rewards.

Flames are right next to the Aetheryne, while with Limsa the Aetheryte is right next to the market board. Both have their advantages. Gridmia just loses lol. LordoftheMorons posted...

Weeping City I think is more annoying overall, but they're neck and neck if we're ignoring item level shenanigans. Pretty common to wipe at the very beginning of Dun Scaith in my experience, in fact that's the one time where I experienced a simultaneous boss defeat and raid wipe. Boss death prioritizes raid wipe so we got to continue after respawning lol. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

The first fight of Dun Scaith scared the shit out of me the first time I did it - I think I died more times in that fight than I had playing the game up until that point. Still terrified of going back and actually learning how the hell I'm supposed to read his shenanigans.

Man, is Dun Scaith hard, or is it just me? Definitely died to each boss at least once (though none to Scathach somehow, but made up for it with two deaths to Diablos). Not just you!

Dun Scaith is one of the harder 24 mans, because it relies on people doing mechanics rather than just brute forcing it through.

I think you could probably look at a quick text guide and get the gist of moogle ex, honestly. it does its job wonderfully of being incredibly distracting and confusing, but when you step back and look at it you realize theres not a whole lot you actually have to do. just don't kill the moogles early (for this reason I still think a lot of high sprout count parties can fail pretty easily)

Dun Scaith is not just difficult, it's also by far the nadir of 24-man raid design. The boss mechanics (particularly on Deathgaze) actively punish you for daring to treat them like literally every other mechanic that looks the same.
Only good fight among them is Ferdiad. Diabolos has cool moments (beam battles are always my jam) but it's a dogshit fight in most other respects. --- E come vivo? Vivo! ... Copied to Clipboard!

People here probably don't keep up with meta drama, but Blizzard is lashing out pretty badly against the big WoW streamers who started trying FF14 and criticizing WoW. It's not a good look. The exodus isn't going to stop anytime soon.

Yeah I've been keeping an eye on it. Even the people in the studio who were at the forefront of pushing against workplace harrasment are now...performing online harrasment.
It would be one thing if the streamers were actively attacking individuals on the team or the like on their own, but it seems their major beef is that these streamers are talking shit about the game and the devs...are basically implying that if you are saying anything about the game itself sucking right now youre somehow supporting the awful work environment?? Like, what the fuck do you expect when the game has a ton of issues, and you're team has flat out said there is no work being done on it? I feel like they were expecting the Wow fanbase to suddenly rally to their cry, completely ignoring the game and forgiving all problems. It's just a fucking nightmare on all sides over there. I'm just wondering if we're not to far off from Activision finally making the call and absorbing the Blizzard name. It only takes so much brand damage. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's the secret of FFXIV that a lot of Final Fantasy players who refuse to play it will never accept: its one of if not THE best story in the franchise.
Even just a few weeks ago there was a topic where FF stories came up, and when FFXIV was brought up multiple people who had not played it were like "lol whatever". The genre barrier is so strong for some people, and that used to be me honestly not that long ago. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

KamikazePotato 08/11/21 12:41:07 AM #429: |
FF14 kind of cheats because it's less of a single Final Fantasy game and more of its own sub-series. Gives you a lot of extra time to get attached to the world and characters. With that said, yes, best story in the series.

HW has been so amazing on a rewatch. So much foreshadowing. So much I missed. I guess my first time through HW I was so distracted by the padding with the Vanu, the Moogles, and stuff that I wasn't really that hyped until the Vault. But it's really an incredible story throughout.
