"Pandaemonium was my first tier" You can tell the baby raider is real because he accidentally calls it Pandaemonium instead of Asphodelos.

Savage has three phases: 1. WTF!!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO THIS MECHANIC!!! 2. oh wait that's all you do? that's actually pretty easy 3. WTF!!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A PARTY THAT CAN DO THIS MECHANIC!!!

2:11 can we take a minute to appreciate that the only quest in the Duty List is "Child Labor"? I refuse to believe that wasn't on purpose

I didn't expect to learn anything watching the angry child but I did.

"Wait, it's all snakes?" PF: "Always has been."

"none of them can count, none of them can read, and none of them know left from right" that just sounds like me and my static. Just missing the "colourblind" bit. Mega props for PFing it, it was hard enough clearing the tier with a static and quality callouts.

"Need 7 for first time clear, blind run, must know fight perfectly" It's so funny that in a list of jokes, Cider clearly lifted this one straight from the in game party finder.

"Surely P8S will only take one or two more weeks, right?" -- big mood. My first static cleared 5 and 6 week 1, then 7 week 2. The static fell apart after like 5 weeks of P8S prog, and I regret to inform you, I'm still stuck in P8S hell all this time later. Edit: I am happy to inform you all I have cleared, and have thusly been freed from the hell of prog and may begin to enjoy the game again

Finally a meme yet not meme that will allow me to express how and why I'm always angry when I raid to my friends As angry as a lalafell

HAHAHAHA this described my experience so well it hurt. That happens even in a static, only benefit is you all eventually learn together and don't need to deal with PF insanity XD

This was great! I got to say, as you were catching up to the story, I was wondering "What next will he do until we get, well, more story released for him to do his small series on?" And raid guides like this? Oh man, this is a gem and I think is perfect for ya. Would love to see more!

"Limit Cut is nothing like Pathogenic Cells" DIES ON THIS HILL WITH YOU TBH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING WHAT I'VE BEEN SCREAMING THIS WHOLE TIME!! >:|

I dig your amalgamation of comedy and actual helpful advice and insight. Good stuff

After all the guides I’ve watched..youve taught me way more and then some in this short video , you sir deserves my sub

The fact Cider cleared the first three on week 1 amazes me. Been doing prog this tier via Late Night PF and um.. yeah. I am still on Harvest Prog on P7S. Have now been on the Yokai Tree longer than on the Cursed Carbuncle. If I actually clear this tier before the next tier drops I will be amazed. Hope springs eternal, eh?

This and the P8S video are pure works of art. You, my friend, just earned a sub.

Just wanted to say, this is still one of my comfort videos that I rewatch every couple of weeks. Also fuels my desire to raid

Clearing raid tier in FFXIV in party finder was a magical experience for me, to be honest. Really showed how different the community is, but that was also like, day 1 raiding, when no one knew the mechanics anyway. Finding that group of random strangers that are all dedicated enough to stick to the end and learn together was really something.

This is the only video about raiding I've ever watched that I actually understood and enjoyed. 10/10

This my dude... Is the MOST accurate description of the Abyssos Tier i have EVER seen. Thank you for that. You made my day with this one :D

Was shared this, LOVED it! Subbed. As a leader of two statics, one cleaning up Harvest and the other ... on Snake 1 Prog, I had to laugh at this a lot ;). Sums up the experience pretty well for sure. Great video.

ok but id unironically watch a full set of guides like this, the funny helps me remember the mechanics

Imagine this group trying to clear Savage Criterion Dungeons: - Cider Spider, the Angry - Pint, the Ascian Black Mage - Denmomchugestrong, the moustache - Zepla, the raid mom getting Mcdonalds

Huh.... This is... more informative than I thought it would be. Think I'll hit up this raid tier now. Thanks, man! Oh, and I have raided using the Party Finder for years; it is a dark, cease pool of a place. But, it used to be worse believe it or not :D

this is hilarious and pretty informational too! VERY well done and fun to watch~

There’s an absolutely delicious irony that you got your P8S P1 clear the same day this released.

The snakes part resonated with my very soul.

You went from Nancy Sinatra to Brookes and Dunn with P6S, holy fucking shit that was a whiplash. Good to see you back with a wonderfully hilarious video as always.

I love you so much small one! 🥰 I was sooo expecting the Endwalker follow up and I'm still looking forward to it pleaseee! 🙇‍♀ Also looking forward to your P8S clear! 😅😆❤

Another video of insanity from everyone's favorite Mad Baby. Great job once again Cider. I'm sad I didn't get to contribute to the video like some of the others.

I apparently got grouped with you during P5S at one point when you were doing this and my static friend freaked out and messaged me about it. Glad I didn't make the cut despite my mouse not working on the first pull. Gratz on the clears, love the content.

I PFd every fight this tier and boy did it take a long time. P5 I was able to do the first week, 6 the second week, and 7 the 4th week. I only managed to clear 8 last week. I waited until November to start attempting to learn 8. Learning and clearing 8 in PF was tough but I got it done.

earned a sub, that was hilarious! Hope you get the tier finished!!!!!

Only now rewatching this video I noticed you creating the PF as a Lancer, every second of this video is pure gold.

this video format is amazing and i hope we get to see mad baby clear more stuff this way! i was there for some of the live prep for the video, glorious stuff.

The last thing I expected was Wesker reference 😂 you got my sub man

Very good summary haha. I'm also PFing this tier but I got started very late and uh... It's been better than I expected I'll say that

That Money Tree reference was a *deep cut*, and I'm HERE for it! ... also, thanks for the primer on the fights!

I need more Wesker lines from you, that was good.

Nothing could make me want to learn Savage fights like this video. 😂

This video is AMAZING. Glad I ran into it, 2 Thumbs WAY up, definitely subbing/liking

My sides hurt from laughing so much XD this was great! Also learned a few things as well!

Hey Cider! Been a while but I recall when we did P8S prog together. It was a while back. Near the start of the patch. It was with two male Roegadyns. A Dark Knight and a Dancer with TEA weapons. They helped me find your channel! Good funny stuff.

I came here expecting humor but found an actual guide that PF needs to watch

This is by far the best P5, 6 & 7S guide in KZfaq ever 😂😂 it’s fucking fantastic!!

i learned p8s from this video and the the other one. So great. Best ff14 content I found so far. Please keep going its all great

Poly-oly-ominoid... that's when I knew I'd watch this channel forever lmao

I was expecting a metal gear snake yell at the end lol great video

I am really happy that you didnt showed the phase 2 boss of p8s

I can't believe the clip you used of p2s is when Akia killed me. Amazing 10/10 I love it.

You really did make a perfect video to use to explain why I hate doing stuff on party finder, even if I get the mechanics it don't mean squat cause the other 7 people returned to monkey for the 30th time...also being on the oce server is rough at the best of times cause very few people moved over here, I don't blame them for it they probably already had FC's and friends and raid groups over on the other servers but please god of gods yoshi-p please let us work with other data centres for party finder

Yeah, this convinced me im never doing any Savages ever. Even with the explanations, the video and not having the stress of actually doing the stuff, i still have no idea wtf is going on.

Legitimately understood some mechanics better after looking at this. Please do another for Barb EX.

Having completed this tier, this brings so many "good" memories

Ayyy I was in your 1st blind P5S after the maintenance before I had to go to work. glad you did well in PF after that cause lord knows I did not 💀

This made me scream So Many Times The accuracy, oh man. Oooh maaan. Finally, I have a video to explain my pain to my non-raiding friends. Thank you. ... We should totally do P8S on PF and suffer together >:3 (I'm at PH2 HC2)

We did P5S - and ohh boy i loved the healer-job so much. We got almost to the end - Sadly half of the fc didnt like the pressure in Savage and we quit. If it doesnt make fun for all, it leads to bad vibes. After long thinking - i will probably seek in january for a static that needs a Healer XD

May you hit 1m subs well done on this vid going to check out the other content

honestly i enjoy the chaos of PF. as long as you clear within the first few weeks, you can typically have a pretty good experience. clearing late into the tier can be quite challenging since most of the people who haven't cleared by that point are there cos they suck i just have too random of a schedule to commit to playing in a static

Lmfao. With your week 1 PF clears I felt a little sad that my static spent till 3rd week on Tree ( and I had to switch to SMN to paint by colors cause RDM doesn't do enough damage Q_Q). Now we're on High Concept in the fabled part 2. However, my raid static has mostly all lost motivation. It's holiday season. That means reps! That means reps from other statics. Reps from PF occasionally. Reps Reps Reps! And sadly, sometimes, the Reps already cleared or are farther than we've been! So we get to look like extra special dunderheads in front of strangers! It's amazing!

this was unironically a good guide btw

loved it. great video!

Every time I see someone on the FFXIV forums complaining that they feel unfulfilled and unchallenged because Savage raiding is too easy, I can't help but think that they need to try out the PF experience. Kudos to you for demonstrating it!

What's up with all the snakes in this darn game. So entertaining your videos are. Can't wait for your next angry cause small.

I love watching stuff about the FF raids. No interest at all in them, but they're fun to watch. Thanks much for the video!

So sorry for your loss!

This was amazing!

"Wait, this is not a guide" ** proceeds to explain the fight in a way that makes it way more easy for me to understand **

i love that runescape reference

Hysterical, and yes I can't count and I don't know left from right, so see you in savage (NOT). Thanks Ciders Spider, too funny.

"are you an anti social dweeb with no friends" ihave never felt so personally attacked

Holy shit you should make full raid guides, it'd be funny and exciting to watch

Wonderful content!

"skip soar or disband" lol Well, I read the PF description (ha) and I was not disappointed.

This was actually quite entertaining

haha, yes, this definetly only happens on Party Finder, who could fail this with call outs right

The Runescape memes were so unexpected and yet so perfect xD

I hope one I can do savage, thanks for vid. Merry late Starlight y'all.

Clicked thinking it was a new Pint video, stayed because it was good content.

My PF experience was: Week 1: 3 days to get P5S down, Saturday for P6S, and Sunday for P7S. Each one got progressively easier, I think as the heard thinned out. Week 2: Rest. Week 3: P8S P1 prog. Week 4: P8S P1 clear and should have got P2 but couldn’t find an A2C group that could clear, or even get to P2. 200+ pulls total. Week 5: P8S P2 clear on reset with a reclear group that couldn’t find a tank that already had the clear. I was lucky enough to get smooth clears for both P8S P2 and P4S P2 by asking to joining a reclear group after so many failing A2C groups the week before. At that stage I knew them backwards, just needed a consistent group. Of course, I am on Materia, where we use macros like civilized people. 😛

Very accurate lol. I've been enjoying progging on pf though it does have its difficulties. Was pretty relaxed, cleared p5 week one and p6 week 2. I was planning ahead like, hmm at this rate I can clear p7 in a week and p8 in about two weeks! Then p7 took me two weeks and I got kind of burnt out lol. I just started p8 a few weeks ago and it's all been... snakes.

You're quite funny. Hope to see more content.

I really enjoyed this! I will not be going through the stress though 🤣🤣

PF experience on point 😙👌 Let me add something you don't know yet: p8s reclear pts are also snake progs most of the time 😂

pf works fine if you know how to find the right party . most just yolo it and expect good results. must set clear expectations and hold people accountable when needed, more importantly be ready to perform. ive cleared several tiers of savage in pf ahead of static groups of friends.

Feeling very called out as I was chopping willow trees outside draynor while watching this video

Very informative, yes yes.

Eagerly awaiting the p8s video.

i understood better when you explained it the funny way than the real way LOL

Why did it have to be snakes...

You randomly appeared in one of my FC members party finder groups for p4 and we all collectively lost our minds

P3S was like that in Aspho for me. Party be like "FoA prog to clear" and we'd wipe to that one mechanic like two minutes in where you gotta drop ads and then stack up in pairs based on numbers. I've barely touched this tier but I'm glad to see the old tradition that PF cant fucking count is still holding strong.

"PLEASE! JUST STOP GETTING STEPPED ON!" "But Mommy Spider, step on me 😢)

I did this tier on release in party finder. It wasn't that bad until p8s. I was ready to clear p8s second phase by week 2 or 3, but finding a group in party finder even capable of getting to phase 2 was nearly impossible... and when we did actually clear phase one, we would immediately disband over natural alignment. It was so rare to even get practice past the first mechanic. I didn't clear until week 4. It got to the point I had to check people's logs when joined. People would join phase 2 clear parties and not even have a phase one clear.

I loved this.

As someone that has cleared the entirety of Savage Asphodelos and Savage Abyssos on PF... THE SNAKES, OH GOD THE SNAKES... *curls into fetal position from PF-induced PTSD

P8S is hell in PF, Can't wait for you to see NA and HC memes when you hit p2. Gorgan 2 memes are also fun as well as tetra/octa.

I can feel my brain melt already, this will be fun when I get there

AN ENTIRE MOOD

"None of them know left from right." I feel called out....
