Apparently a bug deleted the description. UA-cam let me know about it, but I'm too lazy to redo the whole chapters thing. Sorry! #ff16 #ff16gameplay #ffxvi
Great work. It really is nice seeing someone Speedrun a stage without the use of giga flare and zantetsuken, also will you be uploading any tips on what you've learned from Arcade Mode, I recall you mentioning that you might. I and probably many of your other viewers would like to learn from the Ultimaniac Master himself.
I actually did a few attempts using the good ol' dancing steel/gigaflare spam, but with the Odin feat accessory. It was pretty good being able to cancel anything into Zantetsuken, but I was going about the same pace as with this loadout. The enemy layout and the fact that you need two out of your three accessory slots to make dancing steel work I guess makes it so zantetsuken isn't as powerful as in most other stages. And yeah, I did mention that, didn't I? I've been getting distracted with other stuff, but I guess I should get back to working on that. I'll see what I can do timewise, cuz it's a lot to cover and I kinda let it go to the back burner while I figured out how to approach it. Thanks for reminding me, though!
@@eyrestahl I'm a little disappointed on the new Odin accessory as that's the only thing they added, they could've made it so zan is a little easier to get when using the basic arm of darkness moves but oh well, and don't feel pressured to upload those Ultimaniac Tip videos, take your time. We'll be there whenever it uploads. (And you're welcome)
Yeah, I think the Odin and the Garuda accessories are on the bottom in terms of usefulness. You can do almost the same thing as the Odin accessory with Rift Slip, but it is kinda nice having both at the same time. It's probably the most useful for speedruns, being able to cancel dancing steel with Zantetsuken and then cancel Zant with rift slip, when you usually have to choose one or the other, but other than saving time I don't see it being a good use of an accessory slot for general play. The Garuda one is the most underwhelming, though. There are very few stages where the increased range would be useful, and the increased height on deadly leap is probably the most meh effect of the lot. Every other feat accessory is pretty good. The Titan one is probably the best one if you like to use that eikon. Being able to block things that aren't in front of you makes it a really good tool in any situation.
@@eyrestahl I remember seeing Garuda and was just wondering "Is that it?" Man, I really wish they did something that maybe allowed you to cancel a move or whatever animation you're in (kinda like zan accessory) to get the pull for the half stagger, as for Titan I'm happy with Titan's although I haven't used him since my first playthrough. I'll probably try it out again with the accessory and see if he'll replace one of my main Eikons.(Prob not)
Really fun watch! It was especially cool to see you keep Hreidmadr stunlocked for like 40 seconds without actual stagger. Question, why Satellite and Thunderstorm specifically? They're two abilities you don't see used that often. Is it cause Satellite synergizes well with a lot of magic bursts, or lets you attack during certain cast times? And Thunderstorm having a good CD-to-damage ratio?
It's because thunderstorm is a good point scoring ability no matter how you use it. Satellite is the same, racking up feats but also subsidises stagger damage loss of alot of builds.
I kinda wished I could've frozen Hreidmar at the start to get a stronger start, tho, but I messed it up a bit. So, as far as thunderstorm goes, and this is just based on my kinda limited testing, it's as you say and it's just the best (imo) cd-to-damage ratio. You get more damage out of thunderstorm than from, say, judgment bolt, just because of the cooldown. It's also ranged, so it allows you to get damage on enemies that like to move out of range like the Timekeeper with its oath attacks. Satellite is a mix of stagger and magic burst damage. No matter what skills you use, there will always be downtime where you have to wait for things to come off cd. The latest buff to satellite makes the charged shots and magic burst shots do a lot of damage, so it's a great filler during those times. It also helps get the multiplier to 1.5x pretty easily with magic bursts so I can get more damage out of windup and thunderstorm. It's also probably my favorite ability in the game, so that's just a preference bonus :B I'm sure it's not the fastest loadout, so there's a good chance someone else (or even me) can shave a couple minutes off the run, but I also did attempts using zantetsuken/gigaflare with the Odin feat accessory and my times were either similar or slower. Plus dancing steel was really hard to land on the timekeeper since he likes to freeze you out of your attacks, even with rift slip or frostbite. And also, yes, like blue said, in S rank runs thunderstorm is probably the best ability for score. Does a little less damage than windup for the same score, is easier to use especially if you pair it with rift slip, and it's ranged so as I mentioned before you can get score even when enemies and bosses move out of range.
Well Played. Looks like I was 12+ Hours to late. That being said: I wanted that my first Run was "Speedrunlike" anyway (Under an Hour and without Breaks). I did improve my Build (testing against Omega Weapon) so I could improvise and have the Stamina to deal with the Final Phase (Was my 3 Attempt). So in the Run I did use that (exact) Loadout the first Time. Overall the my Run has a Duration of 57:45 ua-cam.com/video/zN9KGPWz4B0/v-deo.html
I actually considered using the revivement bit after the 20th+ attempt because this stage can be pretty mean lol If you don't mind a bit of unsolicited advice, I'd recommend opening the first leg with dancing steel/Zantetsuken so you can have the gigaflare for the flans right after. Same on the leg after Hreidmar with the bombs, especially since they don't die in a single use. You can zantetsuken the raptors and then finish the bombs with a gigaflare. You'd still have to deal with the second set of bombs without them for a while, tho. Also, the timekeeper was the reason I decided to not use Odin, because of how he can just interrupt both dancing steel and zantetsuken with his oath and frozen arsenal attacks, like it happened to you. I'd also recommend to mind the HP thresholds. You got cheated out of some damage near the end because you pushed him into a threshold. You can notice it when you don't get any battle technique when you land attacks. But all in all, pretty good! Just finishing the stage is an achievement all on its own, and speedrunning it doesn't make it any easier imo. Edit: btw, I had never heard the german voice for Clive and the VA sounds really good!
@@eyrestahl Thank you for your comment, tips and kind words. This Run was more a Challengerun "Blindspeedrun(?)". I was stuck on Leviatahns Countdownphase, so I did Testingfights against Omega to tweak my Build. Normaly I play with Grace of Inferno+1(WotW) nad Revivement Bit (So I can ignore my HP). I did use the Build for this Run the first time, so I played more casualy until Leviathan. (So I am not exhusted). Thanks for the Tips and I complety agree that for Speedrun my Playstyle/Build is/was not optimal. This was my third Attempt against Leviathans final Phase...so yeah. I think you could swap one Accessory for Reviement Bit(Except Genji+1), one Eikon(except Shiva) for Ultima(or Leviathan) and one Ability(Satelit?) for WotW. With your Playstyle your could probably play more aggressive which could result in a faster Time. Fun Fact: Clives German Actor is active on Reddit/Discord. But yes, in most cases English Voiceacting is much better than Germans Voice Acting. But in this Case, personaly I prefer the German Voice Actor.
Okay, I improved my Time for Ultimaniac Aire of Hours at 53:20. Also made a Speedrun of Ultimaniac Sagespire 46:01 ua-cam.com/video/sok8_aoe2ok/v-deo.html

Something tells me, you were sweating bullets at Leviathan's Angry Seas xD
Bricks, more like. That last maelstrom caught me so off guard and I was super lucky that the one firelight I had left was enough to save the run.
@@eyrestahlfair dos. I can barely keep up my concentration with this fight.
