What a positive attitude this raid group has! No one gets pissed that a mechanic gets messed up, they laugh it off and move on. This is the ideal raid experience!

Hi, I was the idiot catboy Samurai that had a staring contest in P10S. Just wanted to say this was one of the most chill prog parties I've seen in PF in a long time and I'm glad I was part of it. Congrats on the clear, Shen! -Also I'm sorry I forgot I was a DPS and not a tank for bonds, I need a vacation from tank brain-

Voxer is just a punching bag and I'm here for it.

HOLY SHIT that healer LB3 at 46:09 was clutch af! Congrats on the clears

37:00 the transition from “oh I love Little Big Planet!” into screams of pure terror and confusion was priceless XD

The 10S "guidance" you got was so beautiful. I feel like letting you die at least once to each mechanic - especially the really interesting ones like Tank Golf - was important to preserve The Savage Experience(tm)

27:51 THERE I AM WIPING THE PARTY GARY (helping with this turbo prog was really fun and I'm glad I'm able to give back a little to the person who got me into the game, grats on the fast clears!)

"The overthinking helps" When you got anxiety but still get the job done

25:16 "In phase 2 the tank gets tentacled by Athena 4 times... Tentacles??? I drew this..." MA'AM YOU'VE WHAT

"Hey baby, what's that parse look like." "It's gray, fuck off."

just wanted to pop in and say you're one of the main reasons why i gave ffxiv another chance. before i came back to the game in march of this year, i had a super sour experience with someone i used to be friends with yapping in my ear to play a class i had no interest in playing whatsoever (black mage), but now im doing what i wanted to from the get go (dragoon) and im actually enjoying the game. so thank you for that.

also for those who didnt catch the streams she did most of this in one day and then P12S on a 2nd day. Shen is a GOD GAMER

As someone who knows nothing about FF14 I still know nothing about FF14 but it looks like a blast!

I love 38:23 because it's such a good representation of the experience of hearing stupid complex FFXIV raid mechs for the first time lol

You’re ff14 videos despite possibly being spoilers for me are what got me into ff14 even before I was even able to play it. Now I have reached the end of heavensward 2 months in and am loving it. Thank you Shen!

Your previous XIV vids helped convinced me to start the game, and now this vid is making me want to get into savage raiding.

"Raiding is standing in certain spots, at the right time, and clicking buttons trying not to die." 100% accurate.

"time for my 3 seconds of ley line uptime" "if i don't consent the boss can't hurt me" "i need assistance" LMAO

I have no idea what I’m looking at and I think I’m borderline blind from all the flashing lights… Great video Shen!

i will never forget that one random time i found you and your friend in bozja during like 5.5 for CLL and DR. when you guys invited me to the discord and i joined vc, and the first thing i said was "are you guys like fans of shenpai or something?" bc i had no idea you played ffxiv. now im a savage raider and have come a long way. nice to see you still playing this game!!

“Because we are mentally ill”. As a savage raider currently progging p12s, this statement is true

Thank you Shen for inspiring me to pick up this game which made me complete 3 characters on the free trial and making me addicted to the point of completing the ARR relic multiple times.

For those confused: Shen did an alliance raid first (multiple encounters with 24 players), then an extreme (hard version of a “trial”, which is 1 fight against 1 boss with 8 players), and then savages (harder than an extreme, bread and butter of FFXIV raiding)

I’ve gone from being a sprout 14 player loving to watch Shen meme and be hilarious to being a mentor 14 player to still loving watching Shen meme and hilarious. Some things never change. Thank you Shen for always making my favourite XIV content through all these years!❤️

I've never seen anything from this game, and this is like sensory overload on levels I've never experienced before. I'm impressed, honestly.

Thanks to Joecat’s guides I now sort of understand what is happening and can appreciate the activity and skill better.

Wow the timing of me wondering if shenpai posted anything recently lmao

25:46 “They have seen a ⚪️ woman, and they think they can solve her. They can fix her.” “I think what's wrong with her is way funnier!”

18:40 Ty: “I wont him.”

I don't play 14 and I have zero clue about what's happening at any given moments, but I love hearing Shen's noises of sheer panic

Your streams are one of the things that got me interested in playing FF14. I'm still a newbie tank, but I'll do my best to get better and make you proud!

Ah yes, the game that makes voxer suffer the most. Back once more.

Holy shit that prog speed was insane. And WTF is that caloric 1 strat

Your speed prog was so fun to watch! Especially on 10s! "first time, mb mb"

you make me want a pc that can handle this game, just from the intro alone

Ty seems so chill and funny, need me a raiding friend like that! Their callouts were also great

I cant stress enough, your voice is perfect lmao definitely needed this today to get me thru it.

SHEEEENNNN I've been randomly matched with you TWICE and I fangirl over Voxer EVERY TIME 💛

I started playing because I saw a video of yours around 2 years ago, I think it was the Titan UwU video. I'd been a fan of your content for a good 5 or 6 years now and occasionally lurked during a stream if I have time. I just decided to try the game out after seeing that Titan video, it just looked like a fun game to me. I don't think I even realized it was Final Fantasy. The game hooked me from the start. Over the last 2 years I've put around 1200 hours in and cried for at least a third of that. I'm just now getting into doing the harder content and doing crafters. Thank you for ruining my life with this game, it's been wonderful.

Shen, you're not mentally ill. Masochism is perfectly natural,

Well this brightened my day!

I did Asphodelos and Abyssos, and honestly, Savage raiding CAN be fun, as long as everyone in a group is roughly on an equal footing competence-wise, and you don't involve IRL relationships, because that shit gets messy.

Oh my GOD, savage raiding in FFXIV looks really hard I'll have to give a try when I do my FFF marathon next year! (Also, Voxer is my cute twink son and I love him so much!)

Your XIV videos are like shiny pokemon, rare af but you love to see it! I can also relate to collecting all those weapons, I do it for the relic lines regardless of whether I'd use them as glamours or not. Grats on the clears!

Voxer heard the distress call from a faraway realm and went to save Baldurs Gate with the full blunt force of his severe autism, but after that didnt proove enough of a challange for him he returned home to show everyone once again how to best block damage with your face.

Ive never played this game but I'm finding i do enjoy the bright pretty lights :)

Oh man I sound SO sick LMFAO. And yeah she got her bribe of Timtams that weekend.

"WHY ARE WE PLAYING GOLF WITH THE TANKBUSTERS?!?!?" IDK why but that has the same energy as "WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT THE SOUP STORE?!?!?" and Iove it I doubt I'll be able to resist laughing whenever I hear either line

To answer a question asked in this video: TP Link spends a massive chunk of the game getting ridden by a woman who considers him her pet, he's absolutely a bottom.

Damn...I thought I had gotten "I suppose" out of my head. I remember mentioning it during that particular stream and you replayed it then and now it's back in VOD form...

Your. Ff14 vids are always goated! Keep up the quality content shen

Super proud of you for Fan Fest, Shen fren. ♥

Hey Shenpai, Yellow Skies says hi. He and I ran P12S ... That shit was hard! You're correct about that assessment. It's a beast of a fight. What kept getting me was the last part with the towers.. getting inside and outside on the cleave.. uhhh

When this video was first uploaded I had to stop watching around the part where they were progging SC2A because that was the mechanic I was on and now I'm back to watch the rest after my own clear. \o/

This was such a joy to see, truly one of the tiers of all time. *insert Shen noise*

wow how perfect, I was just wanting to get into raiding

i understand the pained laughter upon being asked about limit cut i understand it far too well

As someone that has never touched savage or above, this video scares me but also makes me want to try it

Perfect video for me to watch after 100%ing omori I really needed this

14:44 these weird noises are the fuel to carry me on between uploads its so good

Man I loved this video hope I can have friends like this when doing savage

6 mins in, and as someone who plays only Guild Wars 2 and its raid content etc, I am sorry I can just see mechanic vomit on my screen HOW do you make sense of all that? :O Incredible

i remember watching your HoH solo clear video when i didnt play ffxiv and it all looked really intimidating. since then i've started and ended my sprout era and now the only intimidating part is finding a static so i dont have to get into savage raiding through PF. and also social interactions in general

i love your ffxiv vids because i can TASTE the bitrate and it tastes like candy 😍😋

31:40 ah yes, Simon says/yu-gi-oh/chess/dancedancerevolution

Yay shenpai FFXIV! I started watching your older videos and it inspired me to get back into the game to finally finish MSQ after a year break. I'm currently working on post-Shadowbringer patches, which I'm halfway through according to the wiki. Thank you for your energy getting me back into a fun game ❤️

Oh savage looks fun maybe I should look into how to start with them! (famous last words)

There is something so attractive about a raid daddy that can talk you straaaaight through the damn thing.

Welcome back! Hope your stage time was...chill? 😂❤

Accurate response to any mechanic with numbers. My poor smooth brain cannot handle that bullshit

Not sure what entity blessed me with your content videos on my feed, but I am very much grateful. You’re a lot of fun to watch. Absolutely hysterical. ♥️ If you would ever like to help me see a tea clear, think of meeeh. 😁

More Shen in Final Fantasy XIV?!?!?!? I love you, Shen!

"the mechanics that we're about to see are extraordinarily fucked up"

My favorite twink is back

YESSS SHENPAI FFXIV CONTENT!!!! i threw myself into the game recently (played 7 hours straight yesterday lol) and its so cool to see you make a video on it!!!

I genuinely cannot tell if you enjoy or hate 10. So basically its about standard for the 10 experience. OH MY GOD SHE WAS TAUGHT TO STAND INSIDE THE BOSS FOR P12S LINE CHEESE! You have no idea how many wipes I've seen because the tanks insist on standing on the edge...

Please don't feel bad for getting me into this game. The deciding factor was your E4S video btw.

I never played this game, so it felt like I just watched a really drugged up fever dream lol

I fear no man, but those MMO raids... they terrify me!

This tier is my first time doing Savage so I am with you. Lots of screaming and apologizing. 😅

“Why didn’t my TBN pop are you kidding” is the eternal dark knight mood Also “WHY ARE WE PLAYING GOLF WITH THE TANKBUSTER” made me laugh so hard

As a zero brain cell tank main tomboy who plays a male OC whom I love very much, and who can't wait to get into endgame raiding once I can finish MSQ, this video has rapidly become a comfort video for me this past week.

35:29 man i have no idea how i did that 💀

Wish ppl thirsted over my wol like bro's thirst for Voxer.

So my friend does savage but I don't, so thanks for giving me a glimpse as to what they deal with I would do savage myself but I'm not committed enough to get a static and I don't have enough friends at my beck and call to do it at random as fuck times so it's either PF or nothing, and I don't wanna deal with that, so I choose nothing.

I had friends speed learn me through this tier. I hadn't yet set foot in 12s when I got an SoS dm to sub in 12s p1 prog. This is the fastest I've ever learnt a tier. I just got to 12s P2 last night. Nice work, Shen!

First of all, congrats on the clears! Second, as a fellow they/them, hearing Ty's voice makes me feel better about my own. Third this vid was awesome and hilarious. Also blessed just due to Ty's chill attitude as you were learning. Finally, is it weird that it makes me smile to see Lalas in vids like this? They seem so rare.

So I recently got back into ff14, and have gotten waaay more into it than last time. (First time armound I barely made it through arr, now Im a level 70 summoner, working on learning rotations n stuff :D ) I feel like Id love it even more than I already do with a group like this, everyone always seems way too serious but you guys are so chill 🤣

just letting the bgm rock for the clear run edit of 12s phase 1 was an ascended brain editing choice i must say

3:06 ah yes, the limsa experience

Just discovered you from bg3, and then you post this. My heart game. Good taste

Holy hell that shit looks complicated, props to those that choose to not only attempt that stuff but also those that choose to TEACH that

Great and funny video as always!!

I enjoyed the style of this video alot. It was quite hilarious and impressive

FINALLY MY FF14 SHENPAI CONTENT HERE, TIME TO CONSUME *BIG MOUTH NOM* I LOVE FF14, I can’t wait to get a better pc to get started/get flash bang with glitter and sparkles

As someone who’s been raiding in SWTOR and WOW for ages it always interests me to see the community for FF which seems so much more chill. There are some things about FF that make me feel like it’s not a great fit for me personally but man I wish the general attitude of the FF raiding community applied to other MMOs. lmao

I almost thought this was 7 years ago, holy shit I was about to have an existential crisis because it genuinely feels like you lose track of time as you get older. Also, I wish I could be in a chill group like this. All my past experiences have been rough so I decided to somewhat step away from the endgame scene (but I still play obviously). Its a dream of mine to have my Destiny raid team hop to FFXIV but they're not interested sadly

i love she makes the same noises i do when i raid

Hello shen! i finally made an account to comment. i just wanted to say thank you for intruducing this game to me. ive been only playing the free trial and im having fun going through the story and dungeons. i hope i can also try this type of battle when i get better at the game.

YEEEEE MORE FFXIV CONTENT its great to see shen play it she always seems to have so much fun with it
