FFXIV Patch Retrospective: Patch 3.5 - The Far Edge of Fate

[@GameGod77]

Credit where it's due, your accent on the "SLOPPHEE" is bang on accurate.

[@Eldritch_Panda31]

I will fondly remember this patch, Zurvan in particular. I met my wife in a Zurvan EX PF.

[@SkiaSymphonia]

Sohm Al hard remains one of my favourite dungeons to this day. Great music. I love that you start at the end of Sohm Al reg and go backwards. The bosses were fun, even the trash had some good stuff to it as well. Perhaps nostalgia since this was the time my FC was the most active, so we ran this a bunch together.

As someone that has played the game off and on since 2.0, it's been great getting these retrospects on things I never got to experience at thier exact times. Thank you, as always, Mr. Happy, for doing these videos.

[@arzedeu]

Thank you for making this series. Knowing the history of this game that you play every single day is a good thing. No matter what others say, you are doing a good job with this. Keep it up

[@TheIvoryDingo]

The second to last step of the Anima weapon has you first do three Hard Mode dungeons followed by Light Farm (and gathering Pneumite). The last step is fighting all the Primal trials followed by getting one item.

3.5 seemed like an excellent patch in terms of what it contributed to the game. While I don't think that the transition from HW to StB for MSQ was all that smooth, I do recognize that Baelsar's Wall is an iconic and great dungeon. Very cool to learn in detail all the things that were introduced in this patch. Also grateful to you MrHappy for doing this series, it's helpful even for someone who joined in 4.5 of Stormblood. =)

[@MrBaritone]

Just want to say I'm really glad you decided to do this series.

[@Pharon02]

The Omega vs Shinryu cinematic, as a long time Final Fantasy V fan, was one of the first things I saw of FFXIV and was one of the biggest things I was looking forward to when I eventually got into the game, along with the Deltascape tier in Stormblood.

[@sergel02]

lol I still remember the Skip Soar memes. Dun Scaith remains one of my favorite Alliances. Fun lore, great visuals, and fun bosses all around. Still feels great today.

[@xierotron]

@12:20 totally true i was hoping criterion would do this at the very least i mean tank 2.5 gcd bis this tier is aug tome and tome ring so we do need a 3rd 660 ring with different substats

[@dragonsword10482]

Boomer too I guess. Been watching all your videos since you did the ARR 101 series explaining basic things. Played since 2.0 early access. I know it's not as long as you, but I feel it's been an incredible journey.

[@varmintx0]

I remember when that chocobo summoning change happened. I was so happy. Seems like such a small thing now, but holy shit, did I love it back then.

[@eorzeantours1565]

What he's typed will be a window into his madness: "Skip soar or disband"

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Thank you for this retrospective video!

[@Firetrigger2110]

SLOPPEH Never change, Ilberd.

[@soldierorsomething]

As a sprout i remember getting angry when he said that, since he had blinded me with his flash ability and i thought that he would only say it if you failed a mechanic :D

[@kurousagi1239]

Ah yes, the legendary S L O P P E H

[@VentusxBBSxSpero]

Omega vs. Shinryu is still the coolest cutscene they've ever done, and that's saying a lot

[@YUXKE]

Been a full 10 years for me, since beta! Cheers to another (hopefully) 10 years

[@DacianGradaMusic]

seeing the attempts to a big area with lots of people with Diadem and its failures, then only going upwards with Eureka (and the fixes/nerfs, at least) and Bozja (still not for everyone but definitely the best "iteration" of the content), it makes me hopeful that Variant/Criterion was so good from the start and just lacking rewards, so whatever they have planned in Dawntrail is gonna be awesome!

[@Cendar]

Is there a Playlist for these retrospectives?

[@dangerousshoes]

It's funny, I know people have their qualms about Lyse, but I feel like when Papalymo died, Yda/Lyse kinda died along with him. It would've been nice to see how they bounced off of one another throughout Stormblood, and I would have liked to see what Shadowbringers did with Papalymo's character.

[@ArcadeTheatre]

I have Sloppeh set as my notification sound on Faloop.

[@TheFrantic5]

I just want a Cait Sith minion, I like his twiggy design.

[@thed4rknss673]

I wish they did more Garo armors, we have at leasts 3 new series(including) since the collab in 3.5, so many cool armors, Keita Amemiya actually designed bosses for Ivallice raid series, so maybe we could get a event with a actual boss fight

[@paulthedragon1]

I till this day I still tell people about the time I encountered someone moaning in Shout chat that people didn't know how to do that Dam Emergency mission fight 15 MINTUES after the Patch going Live.

[@GarnetDust24]

Looking good happy 👀

[@CadeMan101]

Wasn't the [Spoiler removed] from FF[Spoiler removed] one of the bosses in Baelsar's Wall?

[@cyanmage1]

first boss in the final stormblood dungeon

[@CadeMan101]

@@cyanmage1 Right, my bad. Oll edit it to avoid spoilers

[@Xorua]

Poor Ilberd getting clowned on for having the audacity to be from Yorkshire

This is the patch where I caught up to current content, back in the day.

[@blackh9604]

….Ring blades dark and light

[@twotoned_echos]

I only have one thing to say... (*Revenge Twofold Plays*)

[@courtgame]

I wish they didn't kill of palypolima

[@NoreoNC]

4:25 sloppy

[@SunnyDove]

First

[@Taikomo]

Nope, still don't like how you're insterting a purely subjective narrative into this retrospective series. This series would be a lot better if you didn't try to approximate the entire playerbase's feelings based on your own feelings and memories and instead treated it like an actual retrospective, with the subjective parts left out. That's why subjective matters are usually left out from retrospectives in the first place.

[@essayenjoyer]

Don't watch it then, I guess. Bye

[@ChipoltleXD]

Go watch someone else or make your own then.

[@ArchieBlacke]

The patch notes are all still online, sounds like you just want those read out verbatim.

[@allGon2003]

I got what you meant. It looked like Heavensward was worst than ARR by this retrospective.

[@notmousse]

Disagree. He's giving his perspective, which is a good portion of his videos, so apparently works given his channel's popularity.
