LIVE NOW: www.twitch.tv/captaingrim_ Hi guys, sorry for the radio silence here on UA-cam. Hopefully, I'll post another video soon addressing the situation (which I have been scrapping over and over for the past months), but in a nutshell after the whole WoW bs building up for a while and me losing faith in the game, I in turn also kinda lost motivation to produce videos. Of course I still want to make content here, so for now I made this quick and simple vid to get myself back into the mix a bit! In the meantime I've been having a blast streaming FF over on twitch so if you want to keep track be sure to stop by.
No worries man, take all the time you need. As a fellow WoW refugee who has immigrated to FF14, I can empathize with you. But your work is still outstanding! Hope whatever you work on next is something that fills you with passion and satisfaction!

There are two things a Healer can't heal in this game. The NPC's we care about and the Emotional scars their absence leaves behind. To endure nonetheless - For those we have lost and those we can yet save.
@@BlackBlur888 Once scene that comes to mind is in Rhalgar's Reach when Zenos attacks. If your a healer you get told by Krile to get to work healing one of the Scions who got injured.

to be fair revive spells aren't actual ressurect spells. ded player gameplay wise counts as going down/loosing conciousness due to pain, stress and all that kind of shit
@@zenixvampirchik652 Phoenix. Down. PHOENIX. Down. Phoenix itself is even sometimes a summon since FFV. Doesn't matter what the description says, it's a f*cking phoenix. It has power over life. FFXIV's version was even described as "The Primal of Rebirth" *_and resurrected Bahamut_*
Fun fact about the spell that kills a certain happy elezen boi. When that is cast on you in the extreme version of the raid you will get a debuff from it that nullifies healing with the flavour text "There was nothing you could have done..." if you hover over it.
That one made total sense because we all seen Gunge Lance being wound up but nobody knew about the debuff state it delivered. Would have been better to see a heal attempted and it not work.
@@BWA85 Not really. Every Extreme/Savage is a hypothetical what if and the game tells you as such it is mere fancy. They only put that in as a bit of an easter egg as a nod to players who kept complaining about that cutscene. Edit: Ya'll are missing my point by entire continents. My comment referred to the debuff in the trial and debuff only. The person I was responding to made it like you couldn't heal Haurchefaunt because of some special anti-healing effect it delivered. Obviously you can't heal a mortal wound they'd die from in seconds... Every response to my comment are going off on stuff I never prompted.
@@AdventurerOfOblivion I suppose most people who complain about the "healing issue" didn't properly read the healer job quests because those do go into a bit of detail how healing works and how some things just aren't feasibly mendable. Being "dead" as a player also isn't death and "resurrection" spells aren't actually resurrection but more like "more powerful heals" because reviving the dead is impossible, see Edda's tragedy.
@@AdventurerOfOblivion Nah, Dude gets his chest destroyed, no one can heal this, healing in FFXIV is making the body natural regeneration go faster, you can't heal fatal wounds like those
As A Healer Main, look I *get* that they have a lore reason for it and I *get* that it's some aether thing and okay fine sure but also it doesn't make it any easier why do I torture myself this way
@@AlfonsReed actually i cant be certain but i read somewhere that the spear thrown by zephyrous will always kill the main tank if a tank swap was not made in the ex trial.
@@AlfonsReed healers cant actually heal mortal wounds or bring people back from the dead. Lorewise all a healer is capable of doing in FF is heal booboos and wake up fainted people So as the WoL, we just kind of bulldoze through shit, getting scraps and bruises on the way there and occasionally getting knocked out but never dying
@@FabbrizioPlays To be fair, that's kind of a bad example, as in most games, they make it very clear going down in a fight isn't dying, it is getting KO'd, and Pheonix Downs are essentially smelling salts. Now, why we bothered buying Soft, on the other hand...
When you're a ranged class and WoL tries to save a life running towards to the target instead of like grabing the weapon from your back and uh shooting to save a life.
This is explained in the Savage Mode of the boss later on from that scene. He was actually under a debuff that drastically reduces healing taken! They thought of it!
same, but healer questlines make it pretty clear that medicine and surgeons are important. were essentially field medics with magic bandages and defibrillators. healing spells only causes a body's natural healing to go a lot faster, and raise only works on KO so were essentially going "CLEAR! *zap*" anything serious even the healers in the questlines go "this woman needs heart medication" or "this guy's organs are ruptured get a surgeon!" not in those words but pretty much.
What sometimes drives me nuts is that I’m a Whm, Sch and Smn at lvl 67. Even Smn has a weak heal spell and raise… But I’m also a lvl 50 Alchemist and I routinely carry a few of the best potions, ethers and sometimes antidotes that I myself brewed. Lol yeah I’ve fully embraced the power of being a healer.
@@mikoto7693 yep. its frustrating but raise never brought back the dead (in any Final fantasy game)just raised from near death unconsciousness and they go out of their way story wise to go "we used healing magic but he/she still needs a proper surgeon or medicine" heck even the white mage story line we needed to bring the mother medicine for her (heart?) condition healing magic is powerful but isnt the big all end all
XD For those who curious The whm job quest explain that healing only fasten the recovery rate of the body, so if people have fatal wound, it be almost impossible to heal, reason why there also doctors/surgeon/etc in game.
@@SeraphimStardustArtist haha raise and other spell are only waking them up from unconscious not exactly reviving the dead. When HP hit 0, is not dead.
And IIRC it's mentioned in Encyclopedia Eorzea that healing spells basically Super-Charges the targets natural healing abilities. It's when stuff that the body have major problems healing on its own that doctors and surgeons jump in. And with that wound, I dunno if there was anything anyone could have done
"I'm sorry my friend, it seems my journey with you ends here..." Nah, it's okay, I have Benediction. "To think that *cough* I would die before I would see my own child's face..." No seriously, I am currently healing you more than your actual HP bar allows for. "The stars tonight are fading... Will the next world have stars as well?" Dude, quit it with the anime death flag shit, you're fine.
Just in general, the amount of times i though, if only my character did something now instead of just watching things happen. Though, things improved after HW.
That has annoyed me a lot throughout ARR and HW. I mean, how about the fight with Griffin atop Baelsar’s Wall for example. How much of a problem would either Shinryu or Onega been if the WoL had jammed a knife into a certain someone’s heart while he was kneeling helplessly on the ground because of the savage beating he’d just received? Or if the WoL had punted him off the top of the wall before he could use… those items… to enact his plan? But no, all the WoL does is stand there gormlessly while Griffin recovers his strength, gets back to his feet, then continues to stand there just watching while Griffin carries out his dastardly plan. The WoL doesn’t even try to stop him.
On the other side of the pendulum there's "the healer struggle during instanced fights/forced losses" where NPCs are worried about you losing but you're still at 100% HP
"Haha! You did well to get to this moment, Warrior of Light. Now face my ultimate technique, that I didn't lead with, that does just enough damage for you to not die and lose in this cutscene."
Sage, self-Kardia, pew pew Dosis. White Mage, Regen, Glare³ Scholar, fairy, pump the DoTs. That's why you don't make solo duty NPC with 205798834057027504978 HP but tickling damage.
That one moment we're all thinking of actually has an in-game explanation as to why you can't heal that particular person in that situation. The guy who did it can put a debuff on players that makes healing ineffective.
Also it's a white hot lance of pure energy. I am pretty sure it already cauterized the wound as it went through which would make healing it impossible. It's already "healed" in a sense.
The number of times I've yelled at my screen, "I'M A HEALER, I CAN HELP!!" during cutscenes is staggering, and you've captured that mood beautifully! XD Totally understand the loss of motivation, but it's always a treat to see your work again! Glad to know you're having fun in Eorzea too! (Signed, a fellow refugee
I feel this in my bones. My very bones. Every time, literally every time. Makes me go crazy when there is not a valid explanation of why I can't save someone when I'm a healer. And then three cutscenes later they acknowledge you as the strongest healer in the group.
"Every time, literally every time. Makes me go crazy when there is not a valid explanation of why I can't save someone when I'm a healer." I mean there is. Healing in XIV canonically is more like first aid then anything else. It can just help patch people up, it can't for example save someone who got impaled through the chest. Healing magic is just speeding up your bodies natural healing process with aether. Also of note is that the most notorious bit for this in game involved an attack that in the trial actually applies an debuff that prevents healing. But ya there is lore reasons, which are basically that healing is actually rather limited.
yea after heavensward they try to make it more obvious that you are a healer... but really it does suck when that guy we all know gets barbequed and we don't even attempt to save them. Though the truth is that they could have show that the barbeque pike was coated in anti heal seasoning. It is actually hinted at in the boss fight but you really don't get it shown in the cutscene.
IIRC it's mentioned in Encyclopedia Eorzea that healing spells basically Super-Charges the targets natural healing abilities. It's when stuff that the body have major problems healing on its own that doctors and surgeons jump in
I think the only scene since then that has bugged me a bit since HW is in Endwalker when a bunch of Blasphemies are attacking people, and instead of using a ranged attack or a spell to knock a specific character out of an enemy's hand, we just kind of 'run' with our hand out at the monster and the guy in his grasp gets eaten (being vague in case someone who hasn't played hasn't seen gotten there). Just made me go "I bet I could have saved him or at least tried had I just fired off a spell and tried knocking the guy out the monster's hand or something... or at least throw more monsters at me to prevent me personally from doing something about it besides just jogging at them with mild concern". I could be misremembering it, but just a little nitpick I had lol. I'll probably have more concrete feelings on that little thing when I replay it on an alt. But back on topic, I do appreciate them taking you being a healer into account after HW. It's nice when we can do some healing ourselves in a cutscene if we are able.
@@LemonCreature I know which one you're talking about. The one at Radz Ad Han. I am a bard and my char decided to run towards the monster instead of just shooting it down -_-
Yeah there was definitely a scene where I thought "I have antidote potions, esuna, raise, a phoenix down, and various healing spells... why aren't I using them to save her?"
Yup, I was thinking that at the end of ARR before you end up in Ishgard. “I have Esuna. I literally stopped the green death disease with it. I’m also an alchemist so I have antidotes on me. Why can’t I Esuna her and then GTFO of there with Return. I can be in Limsa Lominsa in two seconds flat.”
The cutscenes are the WoL's only true insurmountable enemy. Don't forget the pain of being a ranged DPS that just can't seem to throw a thing in time to stop something bad from happening.
I remember back when Black Mage was able to heal with infinite mana. Then they took that one healing spell away from us so we cannot just carry the entire dungeon run anymore after the healer dies to standing in AoEs.
I remember when healers still had more then 2 buttons to deal dps , and doing DPS as a healer was more engaging ... Square has been dumping down options for everyone but Tanks down over the years .... and i hate it ...
Someone actually brought this up at a Fan Fest Q&A session, and they did include it for healers. They did, however, preface that if a character needed to die in the story, then they were well beyond saving.
There's a very cool comment a found awhile ago on why you couldn't heal in cutscenes "The glowing spear attack used in the cutscene taking place after The Vault is also part of the mechanics of the following Primal fight. It's called "Spear of Fury" and players hit by it are given a debuff called Infirmity, which nerfs the potency of healing magic. We can assume it also has this effect during the cutscene." credit to Rupo for typing it
Wish I’d have known that at the time. When I first saw the cutscene after the Vault I was a Scholar and I was thinking. “Come on Sophie you’re a Scholar! Don’t just stand there! At least try to heal him! You have plenty of mana left!”
I feel that so much! I mostly play DDs and Tanks, but heard from many healers in such dramatic Cutscenes almost yelling: I AM A HEALER, I CAN DO STUFF TO HELP YOU!?!
Omg this is amazing!! My wife and I play together and she mains WHM. She has said this every time someone is hurt in the story. "Hello.... I'M a healer... right HERE!! Oh no.... you're just going to die then... oh. 😡" 🤣🤣🤣
LOL loved the video. Interesting fact, at the begining of stormblood you have a situation like this. However depending on what class you play changes the cutscene. If you play a healer the NPC will ask you to assist them with healing and you will help them heal.
The beginning song from ff11...made tears come to my eyes. Love your vids and your edits. Brings feels, laughs, and so much enjoyment. Hope you regain your motivation but understandable if not. Maybe a balance between breaks and videos. But glad to see you back nonetheless.
That's the life of healer in an MMO. You either die inside as you watch your favorite characters sacrifice themselves or live long enough to see everyone be rezzed
I don't think I would have discovered this channel if Asmongold didn't react to so many of your awesome videos. I can happily say I really sync with your sense of humor and this is now one of my favorite WoW/FF14 channels to watch.
That one moment and feeling with Mikoto being held at gun point, by a puny gun, and you can't do shit even if you have lots of OP-PLZ-NERF powers under your belt.
No amount of white mage benediction will heal a gunshot to the head lmao. White mages and healers only boost your natural healing state. That's why doctors/chirugeons still exist for amputations and other maladies. No amount of healing will resuscitate someone who had their brains blown off with a headshot.
@@untrustingstatue No lmao, but using stuff like TBN or putting your big ass dragonslayer to block the shot would have been efficient, lmao, if not borderline overkill. Plus, echo, lmao. From a power scaling standpoint, a generic bullet on either someone like WoL or Mikoto would be like throwing a tiny little rock to a augmented super soldier. But you know, japanese writing like being inconsistant. Blame Toriyama. Lmao.
wonder if captaingrim is ever going to make any other ff14 video, i love the wow ones but it would be fun to see a one of these every once in a while xD
yeah I played scholar through Heavensward... and holy molly my character is a psychopath, was holding that guy in my arms as life was slipping from his grasps yet I just held his hand while staring at him, not a single thought of using a healing spell. after his death, not even a though of rezing, then giving my condolences to his family while telling them that I couldn't save him.... that said family then gave me free stuff for "trying"
Final Fantasy 7 taught us that gameplay mechanics are powerless to stop story deaths. Seriously I had 27 Phoenix Downs in my bag Aerith, why couldn’t I use those!
Tank role quest in EW: Acknowledge I am a healer Acknowledge I am also a white mage and A-Towa's successor *NPC is dying in front of me due to poison* "Uh...you...sure you don't need me to just heal this guy? Yeah I know that lore-wise white magic won't cure him, but I could maybe stabilize him as another healer, I mean Sage's knowledge of medicine and advanced medical technology could-" *"We need the services of a tank"*
This has been a thing in Final Fantasy since forever! I remember asking myself why they were not even attempting to use a phoenix down on Aerith when she got penetrated by Sephiroth's 7'2 long insecurity compensator
This also reminds me of how games have a horrible tendency to cutscene before a big boss battle for his monologue before having the big fight. It ends up positioning your character right in front of the boss (who of course hits like a truck in melee). If you're playing the stealthy or ranged character of course now you're also in combat and can't stealth and disengage. You also couldn't prepare or buff for that boss fight during his 10 minute monologue either!
But that attack was designed to kill the warrior of light. In Thordan Savage that same attack targets the parties healer and it out right stops you from healing the damage. The fact a normal person without the echo or hydelyns blessing took it too the chest and still had time to tell us a smile better suits a hero is impressive.
@@thetakenhollow7711 I know about that mechanic, yeah - but in that situation (and most people dont run ThordanEx these days anyway), this is just frustrating ^^° Though I think I heard that SCH and WHM get other dialog options that say that... Not that I know, I was a RDM :D
@@jamesstewart7784 Thats what you know when you dig deeper and actually do ThordanEx - but most people dont nowadays. I mean, I myself had to look it up until it made sense - but that moment, in that cutscene... it was just frustrating :D
*Gostesu:* I can't hold this much longer...quickly! *Healer:* [tries to heal Gosetsu] *Gosetsu:* [shakes head] No. *Healer:* Am I a joke to you all? Q.Q
For a second, I thought this was about when the tank decides to pull and our healer is mid CS and we tell them they are mid CS and I, a dancer, have to try to keep us up and all you get from the tank was "Oh, mb, didn't see." AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I sometimes have a similar feeling as an MCH main… when Gaius jumps onto the elevator I wish there was an option to re-enact the swordsman scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark…
were pretty much magical field medics. essentially using magic bandages and defibrillators. anything super serious even during healer questlines we go get medicine or surgeons. Still frustrating though!

yee? :) then we go the fight the very people that did the "special" un eelable damage and eelers eel and rez the party like it's nothing
@@AlfonsReed actually i cant be certain but i read somewhere that the spear thrown by zephyrous will always kill the main tank if a tank swap was not made in the ex trial.
FF fans have been dealing with this shit for a quarter century. End of disk 1 anyone? Why even buy Phoenix Downs?
@@AlfonsReed healers cant actually heal mortal wounds or bring people back from the dead. Lorewise all a healer is capable of doing in FF is heal booboos and wake up fainted people
So as the WoL, we just kind of bulldoze through shit, getting scraps and bruises on the way there and occasionally getting knocked out but never dying
@@FabbrizioPlays To be fair, that's kind of a bad example, as in most games, they make it very clear going down in a fight isn't dying, it is getting KO'd, and Pheonix Downs are essentially smelling salts.
Now, why we bothered buying Soft, on the other hand...
As a healer I 100% approved cause my friend acted like this when he had so low health xD
When you're a ranged class and WoL tries to save a life running towards to the target instead of like grabing the weapon from your back and uh shooting to save a life.
This! How often have i wished a range could just shoot zenos while he stand on ultima going on and on
When you're a caster/healer and dash toward Lyse in that one cutscene...what am I gonna do? slap her with my book?!
@@kou7191 Well come Endwalker and it turns out we can slap pretty hard no matter the class.
@@TheTriforceDragon Seriously, guys got like an extra half a foot of reach at least over me. No way my fist landed first.
@@kou7191 I'll just pull out my WHM staff and smack her with it. 🤣
true "A smile better suits a hero." moment lmfao, your vids are the best Grim, loving the new FFXIV ones keep them up
This is explained in the Savage Mode of the boss later on from that scene. He was actually under a debuff that drastically reduces healing taken! They thought of it!
@@barty1995 wait, are you for real?
@@MrTalithan Yep. It has to be tanked by 7 people AND it puts incurable on all of them.
As a healer I can confirm this frustration
same, but healer questlines make it pretty clear that medicine and surgeons are important.
were essentially field medics with magic bandages and defibrillators. healing spells only causes a body's natural healing to go a lot faster, and raise only works on KO so were essentially going "CLEAR! *zap*" anything serious even the healers in the questlines go "this woman needs heart medication" or "this guy's organs are ruptured get a surgeon!" not in those words but pretty much.
@@CloudHiro hehe
What sometimes drives me nuts is that I’m a Whm, Sch and Smn at lvl 67. Even Smn has a weak heal spell and raise…
But I’m also a lvl 50 Alchemist and I routinely carry a few of the best potions, ethers and sometimes antidotes that I myself brewed. Lol yeah I’ve fully embraced the power of being a healer.
@@mikoto7693 yep. its frustrating but raise never brought back the dead (in any Final fantasy game)just raised from near death unconsciousness and they go out of their way story wise to go "we used healing magic but he/she still needs a proper surgeon or medicine" heck even the white mage story line we needed to bring the mother medicine for her (heart?) condition
healing magic is powerful but isnt the big all end all
XD
For those who curious
The whm job quest explain that healing only fasten the recovery rate of the body, so if people have fatal wound, it be almost impossible to heal, reason why there also doctors/surgeon/etc in game.
but we have revive DX
@@SeraphimStardustArtist haha raise and other spell are only waking them up from unconscious not exactly reviving the dead. When HP hit 0, is not dead.
Amazing video...keep those coming and enjoy your Journey in Eorzea !
Always amazed by your skills with animation. Top notch! ❤
Every healer in the Haurchefant cutscene.
Fun fact, in the Thordan EX fight the same move is used against a player. It gives a debuff that prevents healing, *they knew*
And IIRC it's mentioned in Encyclopedia Eorzea that healing spells basically Super-Charges the targets natural healing abilities. It's when stuff that the body have major problems healing on its own that doctors and surgeons jump in. And with that wound, I dunno if there was anything anyone could have done
@@dragon12234 fair
"I'm sorry my friend, it seems my journey with you ends here..."
Nah, it's okay, I have Benediction.
"To think that *cough* I would die before I would see my own child's face..."
No seriously, I am currently healing you more than your actual HP bar allows for.
"The stars tonight are fading... Will the next world have stars as well?"
Dude, quit it with the anime death flag shit, you're fine.
*dies anyway*
"...dude? GOD DAMMIT NOT AGAIN"
ngl I read this in Kyle and Cartmen's voice.
Playing as a paladin its painful how many times my character could have pulled out his shield to protect someone but he just didn't.
And then other people steal the *jumping in fromt with a shield* glory moments from us :(
Your character doesn't care about anyone else except himself :(
Just in general, the amount of times i though, if only my character did something now instead of just watching things happen. Though, things improved after HW.
That has annoyed me a lot throughout ARR and HW. I mean, how about the fight with Griffin atop Baelsar’s Wall for example. How much of a problem would either Shinryu or Onega been if the WoL had jammed a knife into a certain someone’s heart while he was kneeling helplessly on the ground because of the savage beating he’d just received? Or if the WoL had punted him off the top of the wall before he could use… those items… to enact his plan?
But no, all the WoL does is stand there gormlessly while Griffin recovers his strength, gets back to his feet, then continues to stand there just watching while Griffin carries out his dastardly plan. The WoL doesn’t even try to stop him.
The captain never disappoints.
I think the devs saw this because they literally changed the cutscene this patch for this exact moment.
On the other side of the pendulum there's "the healer struggle during instanced fights/forced losses" where NPCs are worried about you losing but you're still at 100% HP
"Haha! You did well to get to this moment, Warrior of Light. Now face my ultimate technique, that I didn't lead with, that does just enough damage for you to not die and lose in this cutscene."
If RDM counts as a healer. "I could do this all day," is not an empty promise.
Sage, self-Kardia, pew pew Dosis.
White Mage, Regen, Glare³
Scholar, fairy, pump the DoTs.
That's why you don't make solo duty NPC with 205798834057027504978 HP but tickling damage.
HOLD UP, this man started the video with a FFXI theme??
Like this video. LIKE THIS VIDEO RIGHT NOW.
Bruh i was unprepared for the feels that XI music triggered
Likewise.
I felt this in my soul 😂
Keep up the amazing (and hilarious) work!
That one moment we're all thinking of actually has an in-game explanation as to why you can't heal that particular person in that situation.
The guy who did it can put a debuff on players that makes healing ineffective.
Also it's a white hot lance of pure energy. I am pretty sure it already cauterized the wound as it went through which would make healing it impossible. It's already "healed" in a sense.
@@fuzesidaniel1701 If this shitty speculation was true we wouldn't be able to heal most fire damage.
@@Throrface Huh, and here I was thinking the community had manners. Shame, I am always proven wrong.
Actually it’s Noraxia’s death that annoyed me. She was still alive when we got to her. A healing spell would have likely saved her.
@@fuzesidaniel1701 cry about it lmao
The number of times I've yelled at my screen, "I'M A HEALER, I CAN HELP!!" during cutscenes is staggering, and you've captured that mood beautifully! XD
Totally understand the loss of motivation, but it's always a treat to see your work again! Glad to know you're having fun in Eorzea too! (Signed, a fellow refugee
I wish I knew what outfit she’s wearing in the video.
@@mikoto7693 I think it's the healer gear that you get from the Vault dungeon at level 57.
I feel this in my bones. My very bones.
Every time, literally every time. Makes me go crazy when there is not a valid explanation of why I can't save someone when I'm a healer.
And then three cutscenes later they acknowledge you as the strongest healer in the group.
"Every time, literally every time. Makes me go crazy when there is not a valid explanation of why I can't save someone when I'm a healer."
I mean there is. Healing in XIV canonically is more like first aid then anything else. It can just help patch people up, it can't for example save someone who got impaled through the chest. Healing magic is just speeding up your bodies natural healing process with aether. Also of note is that the most notorious bit for this in game involved an attack that in the trial actually applies an debuff that prevents healing.
But ya there is lore reasons, which are basically that healing is actually rather limited.
yea after heavensward they try to make it more obvious that you are a healer... but really it does suck when that guy we all know gets barbequed and we don't even attempt to save them. Though the truth is that they could have show that the barbeque pike was coated in anti heal seasoning. It is actually hinted at in the boss fight but you really don't get it shown in the cutscene.
IIRC it's mentioned in Encyclopedia Eorzea that healing spells basically Super-Charges the targets natural healing abilities. It's when stuff that the body have major problems healing on its own that doctors and surgeons jump in
I think the only scene since then that has bugged me a bit since HW is in Endwalker when a bunch of Blasphemies are attacking people, and instead of using a ranged attack or a spell to knock a specific character out of an enemy's hand, we just kind of 'run' with our hand out at the monster and the guy in his grasp gets eaten (being vague in case someone who hasn't played hasn't seen gotten there).
Just made me go "I bet I could have saved him or at least tried had I just fired off a spell and tried knocking the guy out the monster's hand or something... or at least throw more monsters at me to prevent me personally from doing something about it besides just jogging at them with mild concern".
I could be misremembering it, but just a little nitpick I had lol. I'll probably have more concrete feelings on that little thing when I replay it on an alt.
But back on topic, I do appreciate them taking you being a healer into account after HW. It's nice when we can do some healing ourselves in a cutscene if we are able.
@@LemonCreature As a RDM corps-a-corps would have been quite useful then.
@@LemonCreature I know which one you're talking about. The one at Radz Ad Han. I am a bard and my char decided to run towards the monster instead of just shooting it down -_-
@@LemonCreature rescue.... or being a tank or having a stun
I keep watching this and grinning the whole time through.
Yeah there was definitely a scene where I thought "I have antidote potions, esuna, raise, a phoenix down, and various healing spells... why aren't I using them to save her?"
"I can LITERALLY summon Phoenix, I can summon a god that has canonically brought back other gods, LET ME HEAL YOU PLEASE."
This has been a thing in Final Fantasys since forever!
Yup, I was thinking that at the end of ARR before you end up in Ishgard. “I have Esuna. I literally stopped the green death disease with it. I’m also an alchemist so I have antidotes on me. Why can’t I Esuna her and then GTFO of there with Return. I can be in Limsa Lominsa in two seconds flat.”
If you’d done that, bad guy might have just stabbed her and blamed u while you were gone, but I get your point.
CaptainGrim chat be like: DESPAIR
have been following stream since shb and having a blast
Phoenix Downs canonically exist in some FF games.
And yet death always lasts forever in the stories. _Especially_ Aerith's death.
never really gave a thought on this very issue. thanks bro. and i appreciate your efforts making these videos. which are pretty focking great.
As a white mage main this speaks to me on a spiritual level.
ur editing skills are insane man i love it
The cutscenes are the WoL's only true insurmountable enemy. Don't forget the pain of being a ranged DPS that just can't seem to throw a thing in time to stop something bad from happening.
Or if you’re a mage too. Heck as a Smn I should be able to sic Carbuncle on them.
Love your stuff Grim, thank you.
I'm happy to provide :)
I remember back when Black Mage was able to heal with infinite mana. Then they took that one healing spell away from us so we cannot just carry the entire dungeon run anymore after the healer dies to standing in AoEs.
I remember when healers still had more then 2 buttons to deal dps , and doing DPS as a healer was more engaging ...
Square has been dumping down options for everyone but Tanks down over the years .... and i hate it ...
Someone actually brought this up at a Fan Fest Q&A session, and they did include it for healers. They did, however, preface that if a character needed to die in the story, then they were well beyond saving.
Unless you get the Azem macguffin.
@@ProsecutorValentine At least there's a lore reason for why it exists. Unlike WoW's.
There's a very cool comment a found awhile ago on why you couldn't heal in cutscenes "The glowing spear attack used in the cutscene taking place after The Vault is also part of the mechanics of the following Primal fight. It's called "Spear of Fury" and players hit by it are given a debuff called Infirmity, which nerfs the potency of healing magic. We can assume it also has this effect during the cutscene." credit to Rupo for typing it
To add, said debuff has the flavour text: there was nothing you could've done
Wish I’d have known that at the time. When I first saw the cutscene after the Vault I was a Scholar and I was thinking. “Come on Sophie you’re a Scholar! Don’t just stand there! At least try to heal him! You have plenty of mana left!”
I feel that so much! I mostly play DDs and Tanks, but heard from many healers in such dramatic Cutscenes almost yelling: I AM A HEALER, I CAN DO STUFF TO HELP YOU!?!
Wow, even a shoutout to FFXI with some Distant Worlds. Very impressive.
XI really is an underrated game
Congrats on 200k ❤️
Thanks!
Playing WHM during the Nanamo scene... I can esuna that you know. Lol
We can also just Return spell our way out too. No need for long chases and crazy Flow magic.
I wish this were longer. Its SO good
Omg this is amazing!! My wife and I play together and she mains WHM. She has said this every time someone is hurt in the story. "Hello.... I'M a healer... right HERE!! Oh no.... you're just going to die then... oh. 😡" 🤣🤣🤣
LOL loved the video. Interesting fact, at the begining of stormblood you have a situation like this. However depending on what class you play changes the cutscene. If you play a healer the NPC will ask you to assist them with healing and you will help them heal.
yoooo That FFXI music in the first part, grim is a man of culture confirmed.
your animations have gotten so good
The beginning song from ff11...made tears come to my eyes. Love your vids and your edits. Brings feels, laughs, and so much enjoyment. Hope you regain your motivation but understandable if not. Maybe a balance between breaks and videos. But glad to see you back nonetheless.
Oh I caught that FF11 Memoria de la stona ;D wonderful use of it
Lol, the music does wonders. I almost cried... Animations are top notch as always 😊.
Me when Zack Fair died: @WHY CAN’T I USE A PHOENIX DOWN, CURAGA, CURA...please.” 😢
F****k im STILL not over that T.T
I have missed you Captain Grim ☹I have been waiting for your video a long time. Can't wait to see more videos of you 😍❤
I missed you guys too
I love this channel man your videos are gold
Literally me when going through HW.
That's the life of healer in an MMO. You either die inside as you watch your favorite characters sacrifice themselves or live long enough to see everyone be rezzed
Healer main feeling this video.
"Just give me the dialogue option I can heal you!"
I don't think I would have discovered this channel if Asmongold didn't react to so many of your awesome videos. I can happily say I really sync with your sense of humor and this is now one of my favorite WoW/FF14 channels to watch.
Literally me through the whole MSQ... "just let me heal!!!"
With a thumbnail like that, you just know it's gonna be a good video.
I'm glad to see your talents translate to ffxiv animations man! Quality stuff as always
Masterfully captured sentiment as always Grim
That one moment and feeling with Mikoto being held at gun point, by a puny gun, and you can't do shit even if you have lots of OP-PLZ-NERF powers under your belt.
No amount of white mage benediction will heal a gunshot to the head lmao.
White mages and healers only boost your natural healing state. That's why doctors/chirugeons still exist for amputations and other maladies. No amount of healing will resuscitate someone who had their brains blown off with a headshot.
@@untrustingstatue Except, you know, Mikoto was kicked out of the way and nothing happened...
@@untrustingstatue Then Why can I Heal Gunbreaker who use superbolide
@@untrustingstatue No lmao, but using stuff like TBN or putting your big ass dragonslayer to block the shot would have been efficient, lmao, if not borderline overkill. Plus, echo, lmao.
From a power scaling standpoint, a generic bullet on either someone like WoL or Mikoto would be like throwing a tiny little rock to a augmented super soldier. But you know, japanese writing like being inconsistant. Blame Toriyama. Lmao.
wonder if captaingrim is ever going to make any other ff14 video, i love the wow ones but it would be fun to see a one of these every once in a while xD
The Jailer placed that rock.
It’s been there for 20 years. Waiting…
yeah I played scholar through Heavensward... and holy molly my character is a psychopath, was holding that guy in my arms as life was slipping from his grasps yet I just held his hand while staring at him, not a single thought of using a healing spell. after his death, not even a though of rezing, then giving my condolences to his family while telling them that I couldn't save him.... that said family then gave me free stuff for "trying"
Honestly, that face at 0:47 made me feel memories. Well done.
Er... Captain Grim, that music at the start, that's Recollection from FFXI then it shifts to Fragments of Forever
Awesome Vid by the way.
Final Fantasy 7 taught us that gameplay mechanics are powerless to stop story deaths. Seriously I had 27 Phoenix Downs in my bag Aerith, why couldn’t I use those!
For real though, those 5 secs of distant worlds in the start.... onions
Amazing work as always. So happy you're sticking with FFXIV.
Tank role quest in EW:
Acknowledge I am a healer
Acknowledge I am also a white mage and A-Towa's successor
*NPC is dying in front of me due to poison*
"Uh...you...sure you don't need me to just heal this guy? Yeah I know that lore-wise white magic won't cure him, but I could maybe stabilize him as another healer, I mean Sage's knowledge of medicine and advanced medical technology could-"
*"We need the services of a tank"*
If healers were allowed to do their job there won't be any tragic deaths in any game.
There's a scene in Final Fantasy IV I appreciate because the party healer actually does try to use their skills, even though it doesn't work.
This has been a thing in Final Fantasy since forever! I remember asking myself why they were not even attempting to use a phoenix down on Aerith when she got penetrated by Sephiroth's 7'2 long insecurity compensator
Plunging attack go brrrrr
Plunging attack go brrrrr
Gameplay: Filled with enough lead to become a human maraka
Cutscene: OH!!!! NOW those things are lethal...
As a Scholar in The Vault I know this pain.
Fucking I N C R E D I B L E
I have never related to a video so much. Heals raid - cut scene - "go get a healer " - WTF AM I? haha love it
This also reminds me of how games have a horrible tendency to cutscene before a big boss battle for his monologue before having the big fight. It ends up positioning your character right in front of the boss (who of course hits like a truck in melee). If you're playing the stealthy or ranged character of course now you're also in combat and can't stealth and disengage. You also couldn't prepare or buff for that boss fight during his 10 minute monologue either!
Every healer in the history of FF14 knows how this one feels... in that one specific cutscene *coughafterTheVaultcoughcough* XD
But that attack was designed to kill the warrior of light. In Thordan Savage that same attack targets the parties healer and it out right stops you from healing the damage. The fact a normal person without the echo or hydelyns blessing took it too the chest and still had time to tell us a smile better suits a hero is impressive.
@@jamesstewart7784 Also if you hover over the debuff you get while targeted in the extreme it states "there is nothing you couldve done"
This has been a thing in every Final Fantasy since forever!
@@thetakenhollow7711 I know about that mechanic, yeah - but in that situation (and most people dont run ThordanEx these days anyway), this is just frustrating ^^° Though I think I heard that SCH and WHM get other dialog options that say that... Not that I know, I was a RDM :D
@@jamesstewart7784 Thats what you know when you dig deeper and actually do ThordanEx - but most people dont nowadays. I mean, I myself had to look it up until it made sense - but that moment, in that cutscene... it was just frustrating :D
Haurchefant: A smile better suits a hero
Scholars/Astros/White Mages/Sages: Bro
Dude I was a fan of your wow vídeos and I never thought I'd Live to see the day I'd watch a FF video of yours. 10/10 already watched again!
The weather change 😂
But foreal though. Gets poisoned “i have ESUNA!”
*Gostesu:* I can't hold this much longer...quickly!
*Healer:* [tries to heal Gosetsu]
*Gosetsu:* [shakes head] No.
*Healer:* Am I a joke to you all? Q.Q
Maybe the healer could have just... maybe, casted Rescue on him... come to think of it, that sounds hilarious
For a second, I thought this was about when the tank decides to pull and our healer is mid CS and we tell them they are mid CS and I, a dancer, have to try to keep us up and all you get from the tank was "Oh, mb, didn't see." AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I sometimes have a similar feeling as an MCH main… when Gaius jumps onto the elevator I wish there was an option to re-enact the swordsman scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark…
Your video is top tier and amazing
In the Thordan trial when the knight that killed Horchefaunt uses the same skill if it hits you it leaves an antihealing debuff actually.
This is probably too much of a spoiler for folks that haven't finished Heavensward yet...
theres a reason everyone else mentioning that in this video and every reaction video to it make sure to do so vaguely without spoiling it...
"Just give me the option damnit!"
I laughed harder than I should at that
So this is it, FFXIV has finally taken everything from WoW.
So be it
were pretty much magical field medics. essentially using magic bandages and defibrillators. anything super serious even during healer questlines we go get medicine or surgeons. Still frustrating though!
Your appeal and style has really been translated well into these FFXIV machinimas. This feels like a Captain Grim video just as much as your wow vids.
(Walking over rocks: SAVAGE) - FAILED
i can't wait to see you do more Final fantasy 14 videos. I love this game and I love your videos, so I am looking forward to your future content.
