1. I love your guides, they’ve gotten me through msq up til Stormblood. Saw this released just as I got the quest for it. Keep it up!! Love your comedy and guide style.
2. Don’t you dare insult my beloved Tactics 😂

[@jayruka2508]

Nobody played Tactics...... I feel attacked

[@the_scrub]

I put the line in there for my friend who helps me out with dungeon runs from time to time and he loves Tactics. It's just a line to work up my friends and, to a lesser extent, myself, 'cause I really enjoyed Tactics too. Lol.

[@jayruka2508]

​@@the_scruball good 😂 Tactics is one of my favorites

[@ExtraPorkin]

Tactics is the best one :V

Why return to Ivalice? Because Fran

0:25 guilty as charged lol (in my defence, I was a kid & all I knew was I suck at tactical games lol)
1:45 … I laughed 😅
2:19 hahahahahaha my _greed uptime_
3:45 literally have been face rolling this fight for _years._ Now I get to be the cool kid in the know (I will 100% use this knowledge to greed my uptime)
3:56 _PTSD intensifies_ (iykyk)
4:02 oh look. MORE PTSD
4:14 Scrub, pls, I’m trying to have my lunch 😂
4:32 100% using this knowledge to scare my healers 😈
6:39 CT once again teaching bad habits
7:09 remember: dragIN; rammed (ie pushed) out
7:22 how the hell does the WoL still have functioning ankles??
8:28 it’s random? This whole time I thought it was always on a DPS
9:44 asshole needs to learn how to drive
10:00 love how we all just group in the centre because we’re used to doing that for easy shields/heals lol. Kinda wish they made the hit more punishing to force us out of mid xD
10:41 young sprouts, let me tell you a story: I DID NOT KNOW I NEEDED TO INTERACT WITH THOSE CIRCLES FOR THE FIRST FIVE (5) YEARS I PLAYED THIS GAME. Literally my ass in 5.3-ish and still thinking you just had to walk into them, until someone in a random run piped up in alliance chat with a “remember to interact!”
In my defence, I was _very much_ not the only one who went “wait. WHAT??” 😂
11:14 the absolute _delight_ I experienced becoming a chicken here. 10/10 perfect raid
11:55 a note for those who want to do the mechanic correctly, but missed the jump scare: the face you were given will fly around him before settling on his face, and you will have a debuff icon matching the command
13:19 zombie death wall is best death wall
Thanks for the video, Scrub! No more face rolling this raid for me. Now we greed 😁
