FFXIV Arcadion raid farms me for 20 mins straight

[@walkseva]

This raid embodies wrastlin' in its truest form: - Over-the-top faces and heels - Flashy moves - Scantily clad bodies - Crazy story lines - Doping scandals - An underlying negligence of the wrestlers as workers by the owners It's got it all!

[@user-jm1rt5yc5w]

This is one of the most creative raid tiers I’ve seen in XIV. I’m loving it.

[@ugxsan]

I hope the Savage delivers on all of what the Normal raids promise cause I’m so fuckin hype for this tier.

[@Tsuna_SoulSilver]

I should have known they would do a WWE/Wreslting theme because Japan LOVES this theme.

[@asciiavatar]

One of the parts I love is that there is actual dynamic color commentary from the announcer that changes based on what happens in the fight.

[@ngwoo]

I hope we get an Arcadion crystalline conflict arena with the same idea

[@laxxboy20]

Ok so that was a healer LB3 comment he made.. awesome

[@darkmindaustin]

@@laxxboy20 So whenever someone uses an LB, he makes a comment like "They are unleashing their true power! But will it help them?" or "They are pulling out all the stops! Will it help though!" things like that. I have even seen him say the LB line when it was canceled.

[@Osteichthyes]

What an incredible raid tier, the music alone is just straight 10s. Can't wait for the savage!

[@LordoftheDice]

I think it's pretty remarkable that every boss had a unique theme, whereas in Pandaemonium we'd get maybe 2 per tier. I'm going to have to give the nod to the 4th boss music, though. The lyrics really elevate it for me.

[@michaelbart7014]

Im thinking that the first or 3rd boss themes will be the phase 2 music of the 4th fight, but with actual vocals. I just hope we dont have a doorboss and a true phase 2 of the boss fight.

[@deldalus]

someone really had their fun with those bosses design xD

[@auroninja]

"Give it Your All" is the name of Wicked Thunder theme. The orchestrion roll is going for 10mil on Excalibur right now lol. I want it so bad, but I'm not spending 10mil.

[@kikukat8780]

I love the raids! They're so much fun! Also really like that the commentator also comments in real time on stuff happening the fight with people. At one point i died and he made a comment about it. Thanks for calling me out. lol

[@Oppurtunafish]

HATSUNE BEEKU... oh my lord Quazii xD

[@mkgenov3691]

This Raid tier is a banger! Savage is going to be fun fiesta.

[@inkmage4084]

This whole raid reminded me of Street Fighter 6, it was awesome and fun I liked the music too. The last boss however was a bit crazy! 😂😂

[@mismismism]

The way this raid tier just added to the joke of Dawn Trail being Pokemon Scarlet and Violet lol. I liked these raids a lot, the 3rd one was the only kind of meh one for me, the other 3 I really enjoyed.

[@Hawkenwhacker]

The first two battles were chaotic so I very much welcomed how straight forward the 3rd battle was. This only served to enhance (ah hah) my enjoyment for the final battle.

[@darkmindaustin]

So it seems you like the new Solution 9 Bee Tuber. Are you ready for Heart Rampant? It will be what tides us all over until Eden Ultimate and the terror of an Ultimate version of Light Rampant.

[@aWhysGuy]

Friendship ended with Wuk Lamat's Clenched Fist, Eutrope's Clenched Fist is our new best friend.

Which in turn followed Alisaie's clenched fist in Endwalker

[@Dark-uj2jq]

Each tier is actually so good in their own right. Love these so far.

[@denith969]

this tier makes me want to raid, and I never raid cause of schedule. was curious why you changed from paladin to summoner

[@zoomie5948]

Honey B handed it to me!! Loved it though!! :)

[@jaybainbridge6613]

This tier is easily my favorite so far. Probably gonna be a few more runs of each before I have all the mechanics comfortably.

[@SMNtheNight]

Top tier raid design in all aspects!

[@ryokophreak]

Loving this raid tier!!

[@laxxboy20]

Just came out of a M2 where we wiped for 40 mins. They are not funkin' around this tier o.o

[@jerromelovelock4085]

Overall I think these bosses are definitely unique, can’t wait to see how they upgrade them in savage

[@klee7024]

It has awesome raid fights for all 4

[@deanospimoniful]

I enjoy the Pro-Wrestling angle to the story on this one.

[@vincentbeton]

What if 'The President' turns out to be none other than....S. Jastice?!

[@k.vn.k]

Wow which server did he play on?

[@MoogleMog]

People wanted harder content, they got what they wished for, i for one am actually having fun!

why does black cat look like a better female hrothgar ?

[@crashzone6600]

It was kinda easier than i thought they would be. I got 3 accessories out of it. Savage for them is gonna be insane.

whats with all these games having squid games

[@TenzaBurabura]

... I shouldn't have watched this video, goddammit. It's HW all over again.

[@kiiturii]

what

[@boredbales12345]

The raid tier is definitely a step up from the trials. The dungeons have been so bland and boring, it's good to see they aren't holding back on the raids.

[@Xbob42]

Bland and boring? I've had a ton of fun with the dungeons, they're much more energetic than previous expansions' dungeons. Strayborough might just be my straight up favorite dungeon ever.

[@boredbales12345]

@@Xbob42 Strayborough is the worst one, imo. The first boss is a bullet hell, and the last two are snooze fests. Those two are so boring I couldnt even tell you what they are, I can only remember the first one because its the ONLY thing in that dungeon that I actually had to pay a tiny bit of attention. Compare that to Dead Ends... Idk. Dead ends was interesting all the way through the first week, because it would wipe your party if you weren't paying attention. One of the stand outs in shadowbringers was Anamnesis Anyder. All three bosses were interesting, and it has one of the biggest mob pulls in the game, aside from Mt Gulg. I could probably list off almost every dungeon except the last couple endwalker ones, Smileton, and Amaurot given enough time.

[@Xbob42]

@@boredbales12345 How you described Strayborough is how I would describe the dungeons you listed, minus the bullet hell part, lol. I think we might value different things in these dungeons.

[@boredbales12345]

@@Xbob42 It seems so. I want mechanics that straight kill my dark knight, not mechanics that I can get 8 stacks and still solo the boss. My gripes might also be because tank mits/heals and Healer heals are way too powerful in the game, but dungeon design is also a factor. It stems from trying to cater a little too much to casuals. So the classes are made too easy to play, and the dungeons are made boring and easy. This also goes hand in hand with the homogenization of classes too. They either need to nerf tanks and healers, or make mechanics more punishing.

[@moira4707]

​​@@boredbales12345The tanks and healer mitigation and heals potency are tuned to survive Savage level fights - of course dungeons won't clap your cheeks for a single mistake. Eliminator will still murder any non-tank from like 70%, and the dodges are *tight* for a normal. In the end, non-raiders are meant to clear the dungeons with maybe a wipe or two - there's a separate category of sweaty content for a reason.
