    Really, I'm not sure how I can easily prove to you that I played Final Fantasy 14 solo without using the marketboard or roulettes or parties or retainers outside of uploading the 100 hours of ff14 footage I have, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one insane enough to care anyway. I mean I showed almost every ff14 craft and gather I did.
    Can you play FFXIV solo? Singleplayer FFXIV even? I don't even know what to call this. I mean it's definitely not ff14 money making. I might be an Ultimate Legend UWU rdm pov, but I'm not sure how that's relevant. Maybe this is a FFXIV solo guide? Final Fantasy 14 Warrior solo? Maybe one day I'll do a Eureka Orthos solo run like a normal person.

    Even if he gets past Casturm, the real test has always been about the end of Prae, on if he can handle the end of Ultima Weapon and damage the boss fast enough before the enrage spell finishes going off and nuking them. That's going to be the real fun part to see if they can DPS hard enough for the finale.

    This has been a very interesting series to see. I only started playing XIV the better part of a year ago, and so much of this is content the average new player simply has no reason to meaningfully engage with anymore, myself included as ARR time has largely turned into "just get to HW and the game gets way better so move, move, move."
    Definitely looking forward to seeing how you handle the next steps of this challenge.

    By the way, when you're fishing for legendary/big fish, you can tell if the fish is going to get away or not right when you hook it. Since you're sitting down, if you hook a !!! bite, if your character remains sitting the fish got away. Successful legendary tugs will make your character stand up.

    If you took the engine Yoshida and his team are working on for FF16, and take all the concepts and ideas from FF14, you can technically remake FF14 as a action rpg stage based 'fighting game' reusing character animations, monsters, moves, and such...
    It doesn't need to be a linear and interconnected story, it could be like a arcade game telling one chapter or episode.
    It's short of Dissidia though, but more like a spinoff Final Fantasy game that retells story events and major events in each game.

    Haven't gotten to the end of this, but there was an old method to get Field Demimateria III. If you go to Rianne in Ul'dah, she sells Novelty Gear, which includes Best Man's Gaiters and Bridesmaid's Sandals, both for 6,000 gil. It's a bit of like buying a scratch-off, but for 6k gil (and I see over 1,000,000 gil in your reserves), each desynth has a chance to drop those.

      His call. It is an NPC vendor and it is not free. Those 6k shoes only offers a chance of getting the demimateria through desynthing them, and the gil used is one less resource down the line.
      I would argue that using the NPC turn-ins is the same end result with extra steps. In the end, it is an old method to be aware of and it is his choice if he wants to use it or not. o7

      Oh it's super good. It's a much better experience when you go through all the steps rather than just rushing to the end game asap.

    I love the pacing of the days, but oof, it feels like a bit of a let down to go through so much and still be just shy of clearing battle you started on

    I just did this GC section on my alt for it's playthrough, just to get BiS crafter/gatherer gear in ARR and it was awful. but at least i wasn't restricted to solo only @_@

    So what are you gonna do for Susanoo? That seems guaranteed to end the run in SB with his double sword smashes
