Great content. Would love more like this. I'm not even a FF11 player; I just respect that you have found something good and special and are sharing it so it isn't lost to obscurity.
Hey! I really appreciate it, and I hope your name was pronounced correctly haha. Man, you're a legend, absolutely awesome that you guys cleared as early as you did!
Fighting these dudes separately HTNM VD can be annoying enough.. being ML23 and a solid amount of gear on MNK I can handle it but Good Lord these fights lol FFXI always had a knack for the insane.
You aren't kidding. I personally struggle with the battlefield version of those fights too. If anything, I was surprised by how quickly the Master Trial was cleared.
I might be remembering wrong, but iirc there was something about these fights when applicable where you buff your actual party with other people's BRDs and such before entry, since buffs carry in. FFXI's always had wild fights. Congrats to the team! Interesting that Master Levels seem to be less pivotal than strategy as well.
I think it's standard practice for a pull attempt to bring a 7th person specifically for this. As someone new to this game, I've found the early clears on all the Master Trials to be absolutely fascinating. I completely on the mlvl point you bring up. Though, it's looking like this new Master Trial might push a lot of groups to hit max level unless it's hit with a serious nerf.
@@vicenarian340 It's just interesting to see a sub MLvl 40 Rune Fencer is the tank. I mean, the way you hear people talk these days, it's like Run/blu prior to Mlvl 40 is a grave sin of some sort, but then there's one just beating one of the harder fights heh. Though I also seem to remember multiple groups talking about it and beating it on FFXIAH last year. Just always gotta remember that a bunch of the old salts who theorycraft don't actually get out and do half the stuff they talk about.

Didn't realise a video was being made, that's awesome! I loved the edits, was really well made.

Just saw this video posted in the FFXI subreddit, awesome video covering this! I had no idea about the history of this before now :)
I'm glad you enjoyed, and thanks for reaching out!

I wasn't expecting the name 'snookums' in the legendary lineup
And why not??
Great Video!
Thank you, I appreciate it! I hope to make another video for Oathsworn Blade, but that Master Trial is shaping up to be quite the encounter.
Sadly "modern" FFXI endgame is 90% addons and lua scripts.
Why's that "sad"? The add-ons players have created have improved the game greatly.
