I guess technically we didn't survive it, huh.
New season means a new description for this Final Fantasy XIV gameplay series wow haha. FFXIV gameplay or FF14 gameplay even. A FFXIV challenge run if you will. Solo FF14, even.
It's great that I can just phone these in since no one will ever read this far down.

I have thousands of hours in FFXIV and thought I at least knew of pretty much every obscure interaction and strat in the game. But using FATE level sync to avoid the experience penalty for leveling Blue Mage via overworld mob kills is a 300 IQ move I had never seen or thought of. I love that a restricted playthrough can bring out these types of ideas.

@Tingle457 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, you see people do the same thing to boost friends in Eureka. Find a fate no one's doing and sync down so you don't ruin the exp gain of your buddy.

That blue mage trick with the FATE scaling down your level was genius. I would have never ever thought about anything like that. The ending was super hype as well could not believe how close that was!

Me and some coworkers at the Stockholm Royal Palace Museum once talked about how you can trace everything back to the Roman Empire, and developed more and more contrived reasons for it to count for the meme. Byzantine Empire? Napoleonic France? Germany? Ottoman Empire? All inheritors of Rome. Did a ruler at one point see themselves as the Caesar of their day? Inheritors of Rome.

Yeah, I found out about the The Sable Price myself recently when I did my paladin anima relic. Was able to simply blitz through every other dungeon unsynced *except* for The Aery thanks to that move. Saw people recommend either DPS so hard it skips that mechanic entirely (which I couldn't do due to free trial lv 70 cap) or use dark knight or ninja for their ground placed DOT (which I couldn't do since the relic requires being paladin). Had to just suck it up and queue up for a normal run. But hey, got the relic now!

And now, we're finally up to the first thing I thought of the moment I saw the first video in this series. Bismarck. The boss with an hp limit to the arena itself. The boss with invulnerability tethering adds that hard wipe you solo if you can't kill them before the tether activates. I'm genuinely going to be shocked if you can pull this one off without bending the rules further, unless you do something as insane as grinding to level 90 off challenge logs.

I had the same problem with the Sable Price while working on my DRK HW relic, so after a bit of testing i found out that Salted Earth could destroy Sable Price just before the timer ends if i got all High Rolls. DRK would have been an amazing option if your gear options were much better.

Damn, I didn't realise epic echo was that big! It's still amazing just how much damage Reaper can do too. I love learning about all the mechanics that get ignored due to full parties with max synced stats. Like, what's up with the Chime of the Mountain? It's so pitiful. Big gz on Kujo too. Despite the tiny windows and strict requirements, I really enjoyed Feast of Famine, there's something relaxing-but-also-not about it (though I was at 60 with maxed gear, probably helped.)

the blu magic experience is a little funky.. You gain bonus experience on mobs above your level, up to 9 levels higher. 10 or more give you barely any exp at all. this aims to prevent carrying you by going straight to end game areas. After that, experience is reduced for each level the enemy is below you
