Honestly thats more on zodiark being underwhelming than anything. I know he is weakened and presumably resisting fandaniel’s control to some degree, but would it have killed them to make it a bit more flashy? I do agree this fight is phenomenal though
@@shawnscouten5184 i think the big part of this fight makes it more epic is the animation. Zodiac and this bird are very big but the way Zodiac move when he attacks us is very....meh
For me it was Fandaniel's voice and tone for Zodiark that made me feel it was less epic. I think it would have felt different if it was actually Elidibus!Zodiark.
@@shawnscouten5184 I was kinda bummed because it was just fandanial piloting his body lol I was hoping we'd finally get to meet the man after all these years. Not to mention we have to fight fandanial 2 more times after that like bro f*ck off😂
seems easy enough, the hard part is me beating the anxiety of commiting to harder content in the game. Been wanting to try since shadowbringers but can't pull myself to commit.
The best part is, nobody knows what they're doing until they learn the fight. Everyone is gonna screw up and die. So yeah, just go for it. Extremes and above are very satisfying to learn and overcome
I have the same issue, and it sucks cuz the few extremes I have done were very fun and I actually did well. But social anxiety is tough... I know it sounds stupid to have social anxiety through a computer screen but I can't help it.
Make your own PF groups, then you can set the expectations. One or two toxic people will leave early, but you won't be the one disbanding after one mistake or being negative.
This fight looks incredible, wow. They weren’t kidding about improving encounter design. Also, I think that’s the first instance of having an attackable add while the boss is targetable since E4s, amazingly enough.
Kinda disappointed you didn't explain how to read the ice line aoe things but at least I think I saw what the tell for what side is safe is. Otherwise, no complaints on the guide :)
after how good barbie was in EW, I was looking forward to a more reactive fight like this one and they delivered! it seems just right for difficulty too, nothing too crazy. Can't wait to try it!
making a point to not watch PLL bc of spoilers and expecting people to conceal weeks old information from it is stupid as shit. The world doesn't revolve around you closing your eyes
1. Not all people like to watch fan fest or any social media because they want to live the full experience. I know many who do that. 2. Taking point one, this is still considered a spoiler. It is up for the viewer wheter they click on the video or no. 3. Fk off and be quiet. Don't @ me waste of oxygen
@Yokai_Yuri not only are you a clown for wanting people to revolve around you, but this boss is literally pulled out of nowhere in the story leading up to it. It isn't like Zodiark or whoever that has actual story implications.
Do all of those markers during Ruin Foretold including just random ones in dungeon follow that "wild charge" rule where the front person takes more damage? I never knew that.
Lost a lot of confidence after having covid so I never finished the last 3 extreme trials of Endwalker sadly, but seeing the mount and viper weapon from this trial make me want to try extremes again! Hopefully I’ll get a good party to help me find my confidence again. Thanks a lot for this vid, will greatly help
@@lotharschramm5000personally I disagree. You have a lot more opportunity to move and adjust on rdm. Yes you get a lot on blm however your reliant on your teammates positioning correctly and server ping inorder for AM to be reliable, which in ex and savage I sure as hell hope so but things happen. Ntm BLM is the only class where casts overlap each other, it takes longer to cast to cast your main rotation than it does to cool down, which your going to be dealing with a lot. Triple cast only gets you through so much. You are required to stand still for long periods of time in order to get your damage off. It has been and always will be the hardest class to play because your reliant on so many outside sources. You move once your down a F4 or two and that's a lot of damage your giving up. That's why picto is so popular right now, massive damage you can get off without having to do much of anything. It's ok to move around, you can do whatever you want on picto. Rdm 70+% of your casts are instant, ntm you can instantly rez whenever you want which healers can't do.
If the main quality of this mmo iis shouted out to be The Story, then the playerbase is right about spoilers. I am from a competitive mmo, and we all try to get the first clear. This trial guide was fun to watch even for an outsider.
Anyone whining about spoilers needs to get over themselves. The world doesn't revolve around you not paying attention to publicly available knowledge from Live Letters and Patch Notes. Furthermore, this boss literally comes out of nowhere in the lead up to the fight and thus has zero actual relevant story implications anyway. There is a reason this one is named and his EX2 isn't.
Do these people not sleep or do they skip every cutscene during msq? Im lvl 94 only 3 zones of 6 discovered. How are people already at “end game” before the actual release?!?
Yes. A lot of hardcore raiders will basically speedrun the MSQ content to be early to endgame. Considering this expac was basically a filler arc I don't blame em.
I wouldn't call them "hardcore" for skipping cutscenes, but yes , many if not all people who do world's first clear fights, play for over 16 hours and they don't give a shit about the story or anything. They just play the game to gear themselves and wait for the savage raid
@@ValkeersYT thx I've asked this under multiple videos for awhile and this is the first reply I've gotten. It's been annoying not being able to see how full the bar was because it was behind my job gauge and when I did Valigarmanda normal I didn't even know it had a gauge until I saw a video of it
Get gud. Lol Real tips: Learn stress management. Have your rotation by heart. So much by heart that you dont need to think. You need to do dps as you move. You dont need positional in this fight. So just Allways Be Casting. Then its about learning to move with your group. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. No mental gymnastic or trick can replace that. Good luck padawan!

@@Arabassassin13 technically you shouldnt be on youtube or social media if you dont want to get spoiled. you see it goes both ways. its like shooting yourself in the freaking foot and blaming the people who made the gun.
It’s a lot better once you start doing the fight yourself. A lot of time you’re just reacting to what’s about to come. Repetition is always the key to these fights.
this fight is pretty easy tbh it just seems like a lot until you actually play it out. it's also the literal only endgame content we have for now so why would it be trivial?
Lol imagine being so clueless ...when u finally decide to watch a happy video its the one he told everyone is the one thumbnail exception cuz we knew about it for weeks. He respectfully explained exactly what his content plans were and i understand now its cuz hes been dealin with babies for years . God this community is filled with pussies (see what i did there). You clicked AND commented ...youll be mad at youtube next when your algorithim feeds you more 😂
hey man, i appreciate you making a guide, but did you really have to spoil the name and visuals in your thumbnail and title? you posted this before the non-preorder players even had access, and im sure you're aware just how many players follow you/get recommended your content on youtube. :(
Early access is in fact launch in an MMO. If you waited to play the game until launch that's on you. If you're worried about spoilers why are you on social media. It is in fact your responsibility to avoid spoilers not the whole world to tip toe around you. Stay entitled though.

DT is the new adventure, new story arc so it wont be as insane as SH or EW, you should treat it as ARR but the fight design like trial extreme and dungeon are the best so far. I hope the raid will be good too
I enjoyed it overall, but the beginning was rough... lots of pacing issues and filler arcs. I skipped most of the tea making and far west arcs I'll be honest... but the later parts were great imo.
