@@TheGameKat i think i did google something in this one xD

or maybe it was the previous one where i needed to know the rotation of the sun and moon for color purposes. it's truly all a blur. 😅

@@ghostguideffxiv :) It's honestly very affirming to watch a content creator who completely understands the "need to know. NOW!" phenomenon.

👻

there's been conversation in the ffxiv community about the increase in difficulty in Dawntrail fights so this video was made with those people in mind. there may be many reasons why people need help with solo instances: - someone might have a hard time with reading comprehension (dyslexia, comprehension deficit, language disorder, etc) so having someone explain out loud what the tooltips say can be helpful. - some people might get overstimulated with all the visual effects in the fight and need someone to point out what specific tells to look out for in certain mechs. - some people might have a hard time seeing different colors and so having someone point out out the different shapes in conjunction to the colors can be helpful so they know what to expect. - some people might just want to get through MSQ so they're happy being carried through dungeons/trials while accepting they don't know how to fight, but then can't manage the solo instances by themselves so they need a bit of help knowing what buttons to hit so yeah, it might not be hard for you to read the 4 tooltips, but for some people, for their own reasons, those 4 tooltips might be what's hard for them. everyone is different and there's no way to really know what's up until you ask them, so thank you for asking. fun fact: did you know that the earliest typewriters were created for people with visual impairments? and then of course eventually those typewriters inspired the creation of electronic keyboards. sometimes people make things to help specific people and eventually other people can find use for the thing too.

I needed this tutorial, desperately. I wish this had been around when I was going through the MSQ. I read the tooltips but I guess I just missed that one of the moves was AOE. I didn't understand that the tell about resolve was telling you that the Limit Break gauge was filling. I thought it was telling you to use the combo that ends with healing. I don't have any diagnosed learning disabilities but I just think differently about things than your average person. It hasn't really effected me in my day to day life but I STRUGGLE with trying to understand how games try to communicate mechanics. I frequently look at guides and think "I would never think of that the way they wanted me to." I had to put this fight on easy because I was just not understanding what they wanted me to do. This is not a complaint about the difficulty spike in Dawntrail. I, personally, am happy about the change. I find that I'm doing more daily roulettes because the dungeons and trials are so fun. I've even done the raids more than once a week because I wanted to go through again after looking at some guides and work on them. Especially the Honey B. Lovely boss. I know she's the one that gets the most complaints but I think she's the most fun.

i agree its literally 1 melee combo 1 AOE combo 1 ranged attack 1 heal/mit its really sad people cant figure that out first time around especially being this far into the game lol

@@ProfessorBuckz objectively, i'm kinda curious what people gain by making comments pointing out how sad it is that people can't accomplish things at the same pace as others. what value do you get? is it just to make conversation? to me, it is sad knowing people are struggling, but that's why i choose to do something about it to help others get the support they need to catch up with others. is it an ego thing? people say things to make themselves feel better than others? or is it just a social connection thing where you wanna find people who agree with your opinions cuz it feels good to connect with others regardless of the content?

thinking about it more, i wonder if this is a situation where people look at guides for higher end content, like Savage or Ultimates, and they see comments from other players who tell them if they need a guide then they must be horrible at the game. and then those players end up going to "easier" content and that behavior trickles down because that's the way they were treated from players who were better than them. kinda reminds me of how kids who had bad parents end up turning into bad parents because that's all they knew and then their kids end up turning into bad parents too. it's very difficult to break generational trauma, yeah.

yeah i was wondering why they keep it in too. in previous expansions, i figured it was to showcase the new jobs and such (RDM, GNB, SGE, VPR, etc). but warrior has been around since ARR so it was odd to me.

The point is to A) Break up the gameplay with a unique piece of gameplay B) Give the devs a chance to create content based on the tools you have (i.e. can’t put a heal check in a solo duty if there is a chance you’re running BLM) C) Giving you as the player a chance to play as one of the other characters in a unique scenario D) Giving the writers tools to express the story in different ways - In the Cold (Level 83 unknown garlean solo instance) made for a stellar use of this, fully selling the plight, fear, and stress of the weak garlean soldiers against the strong, and illustrating more than cutscenes ever could just how feeble they feel - and thus, why they feel the need to conquer before they’re wiped from existence. Why they go to such lengths to gain power. E) It allows for a unique gameplay experience - any time you’re brought into a duty where you pilot another character, you get to enjoy a brand-new kit that is just for that duty F) It allows them to wildly change the tone of the game. I already mentioned In The Cold, but the G-Warrior duty also wildly changes the game. Suddenly you’re basically an Evangelion, you gotta agree -that’s kinda cool! And as for why the kits are stripped down, that obviously is so as to not overwhelm people with 20 buttons all of a sudden. But what is also true, is that every tool they give you, they will give you a moment in the duty where you will need it, so it encourages yoh to try everything out.

@@vbarreiro I see. I absolutely hated In From The Cold. It nearly made me quit the game.

@@TheGameKat And now you know how the Garleans feel, all the time. Little wonder they’re unhappy with their status quo and feel the overwhelming need to change it, eh? I’d say the point of the duty came across brilliantly for you if it was that hard for you.

@@vbarreiro I would loved a solo duty in the Zoraal Ja vs Gulool Ja Ja fight. Zoraal Ja always regenerating to full and Gulool Jaja 3shotting Zoraal or so. Playing either side would be so much fun and a moral dilemma. Trying to kill the own son/father? The whole scene would be so much more intense and memorial. Sadly because of the loud minority the duties are kinda dull now.

hey man, this type of comment is exactly why people don't feel supported. everyone starts from somewhere and if you want someone to "gitgud" then understand that everyone takes their own time to learn something in order to get better. i'm sure there was a point in time when you struggled to learn something and had to focus up. also i'd like to point out that you posted a comment on a guide video where people who are watching are literally trying to get good by studying the video.

i likely won't be posting the other solo instances anytime soon since i didn't get recordings of them. i thought i'd be able to replay them through New Game+, but it looks like Dawntrail is not available to replay yet. if i manage to get the footage somehow then i'll make a guide for them.

yep. my higher end content is posted here: www.youtube.com/@ghostguideraidstories

@@ghostguideffxiv Oh, I see. Thank you! I hope you post more, but if you don't that's alright too 😹

welp i just did a whole research session on wrestling now. and yeah, you're right, "lariat" is a wrestling move that involves charging with an arm held straight out (which is what we see in the fight animation). interestingly, the name "lariat" comes from the spanish word for rope "la reata." often, people on the ranch would call for a "lariat" to wrangle their herd and so the word has a ranch/farm/cowboy history attached. there was some wrestling dude who had a cowboy theme and he was known to do a bunch of these lariat wrestling moves. it's all making sense now.

your money is on the bee girl as in you think that's my favorite boss?

@@ghostguideffxiv yes.

@@SuperBobthebuilderz no, try again

@@ghostguideffxiv so cruel for not telling me the answer 😭 but… final boss maybe?

@@SuperBobthebuilderz no, try again
