Apparently Jocat can cast vicious mockery IRL

[@Chaotix010]

Streamer: "We need a good insult." Jo: "Hey, I got one." Streamer: "Okay, go ahead." Jo: "Hey, are your parents the devs of 1.0? Because damn, they to try again."

[@Zoten001]

Worse, he can cast it as an AOE. EVERYONE felt that one.

[@TheJeSTeR7530]

Once again Jocat proves that he is an actual IRL Bard... from songs to vicious mockery, he got it all.

[@dungeonmaster3464]

Does that mean he attempts to seduce his way into/out of trouble?

[@jameswhitlark9507]

@@dungeonmaster3464 he does try at lest. it probable falls flat a lot.

[@yorha42s]

Not Einstein. ESTINIEN! HE’S THE AZUR DRAGOON!

[@AzureIV]

Estinieeeeen!

[@theguiltyplayer9207]

I've never felt so triggered before.

[@CoffeeTheFreshmaker]

I have a friend who for some reason pronounce it Estinein. Apparently E-sti-ni-en is hard stuff >_>

[@warriorfromhammerfell1557]

hmm...........budget Kain?

[@dbzbourgheim]

8:30 : my guess is that he's saying "Masaka", which is a phrase that you'd hear a lot in anime. It's used as a mark of disbelief, usually in a setting of treaterous actions. For example, if a supposed ally backstabs a character, said character will say that just before or just after being stabbed.

[@austinsebben1402]

It’s very funny that looking at the Dancer from the outside you get the impression it’s random because it’s exactly the opposite, the procs being 50% means at most you have to press a button twice to move on to the next button, and when the next button is ready, it lights up, so Dancer is the simplest in the game to play

[@Airier]

😯🤔 Huh. Put that way, it does sound significantly different.

[@chimericpaladin35813]

question, do dancer buffs stack or can you only be buffed by one dancer at a time

[@grygaming5519]

@@chimericpaladin35813 Dance partner does stack with another dancer but its a overall DPS loss if there's another melee in the party. You can even hyper buff a melee if you so choose but I think the other dps may get angry.

[@Ower8x]

@@chimericpaladin35813 There are things that stack and there are things that dont ... so while its viable to have double partnered ... its not optimal ....

[@loganshaw4527]

​@@Airier watch the Joecat spooky slash video yet?

[@Raganui]

Right, getting right into it. Peloton is the ranged DPS group movement buff. Increases everyone's speed in an AOE around the user. Not as fast as popping sprint, but can be upkept, though it drops in combat. At 1:50 that appears to be oatmeal. 5:30 Aliens! 7:45 Digimon. 8:30 I got nothing either mate. 14:11 That guy in the recommended video looks familiar. 17:45 Here here!

[@enlongjones2394]

8:30 “Masaka” is Japanese for “impossible” What’s going on here is sort of a general reference to anime. This is something villains may often say as their plans fall apart.

[@DefectiveFish]

That "muscle dragon" is TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR, a staple of internet history!

[@ahmedfalahy9337]

8:26 Masaka is Japanese for *No way* And it's a reference to a video called "People who think they speak Japanese"

[@ZeroKitsunei]

For the Dancer. It's not random as far as the button is concerned. It's 1,2,3,4,5 just depends on if they light up after the attack. It's not like 1 3 5 4.

[@Skywolfhd20]

7:42 butterfly is probably digimon

[@KawaiiNeko333]

It is.

[@Ragnarok2kx]

I was thinking DDR, but that makes a lot more sense, as they're referencing intros.

[@sebastian10226]

DnD rules are like the geneva convention suggestion

[@black97_0]

D&d rules are; more of a guide, than an actual rule

[@sebastian10226]

@@black97_0 like geneva convention

[@robertduggan4617]

Don't you mean that the Geneva Convention is a guide for horrors to add to your story( usually by a player that wants to mess up a DM's carefully laid plans)

Glad to see more from you, man. Always a treat to watch your reactions!

[@389Miku]

Jocat has a play list of the whole storyline just saying

[@Blazh5864]

Playing dancer just like "That botton is glow now, let's click it!" "Oh no, nothing glow, let's try again" "It glow, it golw, IT GLOW!!!"

[@icefox94]

Estinien, not Einstein. it's the name of one of the characters. he's the azure dragoon butterfly is the original japanese opening song for digimon adventure. ^^ bards sometimes have a harp attached to the top half of their bow, but their bows aren't literally harps (except for the artemis bow which is a harp that can fold out into a bow)

[@boxtank5288]

As I've seen before, as response to 'Everytime Halloween Ends' punchline: The War on Christmas will continue until they stop attacking Thanksgiving.

[@NecrochildK]

With dancer, it's random, but it's not like it doesn't show you which ones you need to press. Dancer's actually one of the easiest classes to play.

[@arkleuss]

butterfly is the first digimon opening

[@Shadeius]

And specifically the Japanese OP, not the American one.

[@arkleuss]

@@Shadeius i never heard the english version but the latinamerican version replaced"butterfly" for "digimon" in the song XD

[@Shadeius]

@@arkleuss Just looked that up. The whispered "Digimon" was great. On the side also noticed that Italy did completely original song for their opening too. But yeah, the one that ran in the USA was Digimon Are The Champions song which can be basically boiled down to repeating words "Digimon" and "Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the Champions!".

[@Toksyuryel]

Butterfly is the original Japanese opening theme for Digimon Adventure You... DO know that if you don't like RNG rotations you can just... play any job that doesn't have one, right? There's only like, three jobs that have any RNG at all in their rotation.

[@ikeboo518]

For those curious about what Jocat was talking about during his insult, to quote the man himself: "dissecting the frog for non-XIV players: 1.0 was the original version of FFXIV that was so bad and poorly received by critics and consumers that the developers completely shut it down and rebuilt the game basically from the ground up to be better, hence why the game is subtitled "A Realm Reborn""

[@wingedparagon4448]

Accurate, DRK openers are insane. As off tank, I start off with my stance off so I dont out aggro the Main tank. Poor dancer spends the rest of the fight catching up with my deeps. But we salute their contributions in savage raids, always two, there must be.

[@tigger247]

technically the cabbage on his neck is the food you use to summon chocobos as companions

[@cain0308]

Feel kinda sad and left out since my Red Mage has never been mentioned in any of the videos. Lol.

[@enlongjones2394]

Casters are set to be the last video of this series. Which will presumably be BLM, RDM, and SMN, with probably a snark to BLU’s purgatorial existence as well.

[@cain0308]

@@enlongjones2394 lol kinda curious what he might come up with in regards to the Blue mages. Lol

[@ahmedfalahy9337]

Something like this: "Blue Mages have no sense of originality and instead steals moves from the bad guys, to the point that they have to hide their faces behind a zorro mask to remain anonymous while doing their dirty plagiarism" "What does Blue Mage? I dunno. It says DPS but most of their spells are gimmicky and senseless that you can hire one to perform at your baby cousin's birthday party if you forgot to hire a clown to entertain the babies"

[@cain0308]

@@ahmedfalahy9337 Lol, that definitely sounds like something he would come up with lol

[@cyberdrive861]

The button for next frame or previous frame only works when the last thing you clicked is the screen/video itself instead of the pause button, time bar, volume, etc

[@BlackTempleGaurdian]

Playing dancer is like playing a rhythm game.

[@KaliStarchaser]

There is a rumor, that the Mariah Carey All I Want for Christmas song has actually gained sentience and become an SCP entity.

[@Lotis343]

22:35 if story JoCat actually has VODs of basically everything in FFXIV only downside Jocat VODs is long (3-4 hours in 10 part / expansion )

[@craigfunk3453]

Peloton. Also known as the ranged role's 'everyone goes faster outside battle' skill that must be reapplied aftee each encounter

[@yorukage5926]

Man called Dragoon the dark knight

[@ChWi1]

How can you hate the interface when you can literally change everthing about it?

[@Airier]

I'm not a fan of mmo style keyboard controls. I did try the controller version but... It was a little clunky.

[@mistertaffy6720]

Did he just call Estinien, Einstein?

[@LyrieHimura]

As a dancer main it's not THAT bad

[@dacomputernerd4096]

KZbin controls for back and forward: All of these need you to have paused or something so it focuses on the video Left/right arrows: Move configured amount (default 5 seconds) ./,: move 1 frame

[@homunculus7]

Dude every party wants a dancer since they power buff a dps and with peloton fly through the dungeon

[@KMCA779]

Yeah, dancer is sometimes a handful. I haven't finished machinist yet or even started Bard but I think Dancer is going to be my ranged physical job.

[@quixoticraven4242]

It’s not a recap but JoCat has VODs of him playing from A Realm Reborn through Endwalker on his other channel JoCat Streams. He’s a great voice actor and fun to watch.

[@Jeezes718]

I also work in retail. They still play mariah Carey as soon as Halloween ends. So I unplug all radios in the store until New years.

[@Airier]

The smart choice, to be sure. 😁👍

[@kse3]

12:00 Have you tried Ski Queen gjetost? It's a cheese that tastes like caramel.

[@Wolf_Appledore]

WHOO! THe two I suggested are in this Video!

[@Airier]

😁

[@robertduggan4617]

I believe that mushy cereal is wet bran

[@craigfunk3453]

Ah yes DNC, the inheritor of the original Machinist's RNG 1-2-3 combo system. At least MCH back then had the ammo system to force their 'coinflips' to succeed. It hurts my Soul when i do a dungeon run and not get a single 'coinflip' win the entire time. At least DNC has their once q minite skill that says 'give me ALL of my coinflip wins NOW'

[@Chaotix010]

"It's random. You don't know what you're going to press!" It's frequent. How often you're pressing things means high chances of it going off. It gives buffs that you can see according to where you put the UI for them to help you tell when you can do so to make it that much easier. Base gameplay, it's very simple, and the interface is so customizable that it can cater to so may different people. I rarely find a single person with the same interface as another. In conclusion, give it some time, find a rhythm, and it all feels natural.

[@greatazuredragon]

Jocat is always amazing.

[@thomasrose2149]

Always?

[@Necromancer906]

7:40 butterfly is digimon adventure’s opening

[@craigfunk3453]

Guns get hot and bothered, 'thats not how guns work' My friend, guns in ff14 arent your usual fare, they function more along the style of an electrical railgun shaped like a gun of your choice that is kept charged by a small aetheric converter you keep on your waist thatcdraws in ambient energy and converts it into electrical energy so you can keep firing. The whole 'hot and bothered' is you dumping a massive electrical charge into your gun to hypercharge it (and as such start firing at a much faster rate) as for the 'Queen', you are a MACHINIST, not just someone with a gun, you keep making all sorts or mechanical marvels to improve your ability to fight, such as a giant cannon you carry around for the 3 'giant bullets' known as drill, air anchor, and chain saw, or the bioblaster and auto-crossbow AoE options, the queen starts out as a small turret until you get skilled enough to build a full on humanoid robot to replace it that charges into to punch everything and has a pilebunker mounted on one arm

[@hufflepuffler2575]

you called Estinien einstein........

[@patrickmurray3846]

you can change the ui around to your liking, as well as ui window sizes. Ya i hate how christmas starts in retail like the second holoween ends (or even ealier depending on your location). I mean lets get through Thanksgiving first. Honestly retail should """"NOT""" start their chrismas sells/deco's/songs untill Dec 1.

[@ridewild1956]

you know you can customize the interface however you want right

4:10 Bro read it like "Einstein" when actually it's spelled E-s-t-i-n-i-e-n and clearly pronounced- *_ESTINIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN_* _(He's the Azure Dragoon)_

[@fidgetyjester2399]

11:00 Although Dancer can be random, most classes aren't so you shouldn't say you won't play FFXIV over that when you can just pick the classes that aren't which are most classes. And Interface can be bad, yes, but FFXIV is like a master of freedom which by that I mean you can change the interface the way you want, but if you don't like the interface for needing to use many hotkeys for the skills then that can't be helped though so meh. Lol XD

[@Vovi-Knight]

dancer is the easiest job in the game and you do a fuckton of damage because you super buff a person

[@BBP-OMO]

Dancer is the only class/job in the game that is rng based. The others follow rotations.

[@thegloriouswizard5270]

PTSD, yo☆🧙‍♂️😑

[@grygaming5519]

The UI is getting a facelift...and oddly the UI has been praised by WoW players... since you dont need to add stuff. I mean there are mods to clean up and give the player extra stuff to spruce the UI. I think there's also a ton of UI guides to actually clean it up.
