    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.

    At the 2014 FF Fanfest, my group spun the Roulette O' Extreme Fights and we landed on Titan EX..... level synced. We had five minutes to learn how to play a borrowed character, and 20 minutes to attempt to clear it. Our strategy also turned into "build up echo stacks ASAP" for that fight. We didn't clear it, but we did clear Odin later on, and I still have my old "I Beat Odin" shirt from that fight. Congrats on making it through the ARR gauntlet!

    I miss the old yeti fight where you had to first create giant snowballs by directing the boss's cone AoEs towards random spriggans, protect them and then knock them into him to properly damage him (and interrupt an enragecast). Took ages if you did it wrong, but so nice to just take off 10% of his hp with one big one. Alas, duty support, you have taken a fun fight from us.
    Aside from nostalgia, you are a madman, but I sure will be rooting for you.
    Good luck with Garuda and her entourage.

      ​@@nilzero5686Yeah, the whole spriggan snowball gimmick was very difficult to get right. Even as tank, I'd try to snowball the sprigs and then some DPS kills the spriggans and hits the snowballs into the wall. You try to tell them to stop, and it's like chat is invisible to them.

And speaking of journey, golly gee wilikers I'm beside myself with how much your video production has evolved! Your script writing is incredible! The way you're able to smoothly thread the in game narrative, fight mechanics, strategy development, chat shenanigans, crafting/gathering/leveling, rules refreshers into a cohesive, fun, and engaging plot needs to be celebrated more. How you're able to sift through your footage and find those perfectly moments is beyond me. And the editing! Gah your pacing, comedic timing, and b-roll shots come together beautifully.

    the ramuh thing is a bit saddening for sure. idk if it would have worked with the few pieces of shire gear on silenced echo either, seemed way too close on a freaking 90% echo buff so yeah. but maybe worth a shot just to see (and if it does work get that feeling of accomplishment after all)?

    The fun thing I see people are never aware of is that you can go the entire fight on the first snowcloak boss without ANY frozen stacks. You just have to be moving when the freeze effect happens for snow drift exactly how it would be in other "YOU MUST MOVE OR YOU WILL GET FROZEN" fights. Isn't really relevant because you never got frozen, but fun fact.

    Looking up WTF the lightning orbs do in Hard... The wiki claims Ramuh does more damage the more of them are on the floor, and that Surge Protection prevents Rolling Thunder, a mechanic that doesn't exist solo because it tethers 2 people together. *EDIT:* I was wrong seconds later into the video. Causality is the tether mechanic, but I guess it's just funky solo.
    It does claim that Surge Protection lowers the damage you take from Ramuh, but I guess it's miniscule. I'm now wondering though how much the orbs increase his damage; you can only pick up so many in a given space of time because three at once gives Surge Protection for 60s, whereupon picking any more up gives a stacking debuff that reduces your incoming healing (not desirable).

      It's for the second phase (with a party). Two people get tethered and one of them needs 3 orbs to cleanse the tether or else every action makes both of them take damage (like Pyretic, but you can move).

    Have you tried healer in Ramuh? I got him to 70% on level sync with SGE, which is ofc hard for you to get but I think it should be possible with SCH too. The only thing about SCH is the MP management is worse so it could be more challenging. The other thing is that it can be a challenge to kill the boss in 1 lockout using healers. I was able to get him to ~70% on my best run and that took 10-15 minutes meaning itd be quite tight esp with the ads. Mostly the slow speed of runs would mean that the grind to get this clear would be absolutely awful. I do think Ramuh solo with level sync is possible though as every time I died it was a skill issue and not the fight being impossible. One tiny mistake of missing a GCD shield or getting unlucky auto attack patterns can kill you real fast. Just something to maybe try out in later encounters since you seem to have locked in on GNB this time. Sorry for the mega paragraph, just thought Id share some of my thoughts.

    Tried doing this with Monk but I only got as far as level 60 bosses. I had issue with levi and angry grandpa as well when I started soloing extremes at fresh 60-70. I only dared to attempt to solo 60 extremes at 90 because of thordan mostly. As Monk it is possible to survive that shot at 90, though it meant nothing to those in call with me, it was pretty cool to me and I beat him twice in total, solo.
    The other cool fight on 60 extremes is the containments, but the one that one shots you with a laser. It's RNG to survive as monk, but it was still a close shave of a fight nontheless since it required perfect inputs to beat. Every other 60 extreme was pretty easy to solo. I tried to do 70 extremes but they're just a tad to strong for my monk, if I play tank I can solo them, but I am adamant on sticking with the dps class. I could solo rath extreme tho, barely.
