To paraphrase reddit; Raiding is getting put in a room with 7 clowns only to find out there are actually 8 clowns.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I was the clown all along...

[@acegreenstara2366]

Party finder is a giant game of Russian roulette either you live and one shot the fight or it’s the most miserable experience ever

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Constantly shooting your kneecaps

[@wildinstinct1585]

to be fair in the first 2 months party finder was better that some static, its now that its kinda late into the tier that the new raiders then to disrespect the fight and dont take it seriously. i only use PF throughout this tier and i remeber clearing P10S in a day and 11 in about 2 days...so i feel its more about the time you use the pf

[@Gonglor]

I raid in pf for the same reason I play hard games. It might cause my blood to boil and neurons to fry for most of the duration, but that one moment of bliss after a clear makes it all worthwhile. God bless my fellow troglodytes on Light pf.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Truer words have never been spoken

[@EpickBoi]

I love Party Finder. I can raid anytime that I want!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Both a blessing and a curse

[@litchtheshinigami8936]

i genuinely enjoy party finder tbh. i'm just a sprout but sometimes it makes me remember that hey maybe i'm not a lost cause after all ahaha. though this is the type of stuff i take with a grain of salt anyways cuz i honestly just want to have fun. no need getting worked up over a wipe when the only person i'll work against is myself

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

The best mindset you can have when getting into content in this game is "How can I be better" since you just have to trust the fools that are with you to their end of the job

[@litchtheshinigami8936]

@@SamTheLemonBoy fact. i play all my games with that mindset, you win some you lose some the only thing you can do is analyze your mistakes and work on them

[@fat_souls]

That just completely resonated, I've gone through the waves of "It's so over" to "We are so back" only to land back in "It's so over" so often with PF. Even my friends who raid casually go through it, it's just inevitable lmao

I love how this guy puts the name of the BMG on the top left corner of the video. Amazing! Thank you! More content creators should do that!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

[@AdiHashira]

Party Finder is both a curse and a blessing. epic video

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

agreed, and thank you! :D

[@DacianGradaMusic]

i'm way past the acceptance part, i do enjoy learning new "fun" fights but when there are so many opportunities for one silly person to wipe us all, "gearing up early" is just not worth it so i'll stick with my mild pain in unreal and extreme farms, that's enough. Now back to suffering along in Deep Dungeon!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Onwards to farm the Nekkomancer

[@scissordoerrs]

Another great video! I've been playing 14 for about 2 years and have been too intimidated to play any of the savage/extreme fights. I've finally gotten to the point where I'm considering trying, and building up the nerve to try PF is really the last big hurdle. Guess this is a sign to bite the bullet and give it a shot! ...and I see you with your 'yet another' outfits, you lemon of culture.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Yet another reason to try and give it a shot!

[@24hr-Gaming]

Once you clear an ultimate you realize unless you're one of the super sweatlords wfr or trying to clear on patch, it's the same clown circus as savage pf. If savage PF requires A rank mental fortitude, ultimate pf requires s to s+ level of mental fortitude. So yes. Even clowns can clear ultimates. It's just a matter of how many pulls you're willing to suffer through and you too can be a "legend btw" that's dead on the floor in alliance raid.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

The Legendary Troll title when?

[@Tinandel]

I have literally never used party finder, and a big part of that is I always suspected it would be an absolute nightmare. But I also wanna say that it can’t possibly be as bad as everyone always rants about…

[@24hr-Gaming]

PF is not a test of skill. It's a test of mental fortitude. That being said is it does have it's upsides. You're not tied to a scheduled time. You can go your own pace. But generally the earlier you get in the easier it is and the longer you wait the more of a clown fiesta it becomes. If you're in a trap party you can just set a limit on how many pulls you can stomach before saying you need to walk your grandma and leave. In a static if your static is a trap party you're just stuck there forever. But in pf once every blue moon you get the 7 warriors of light that will 1 pull.

[@Bon-Gi]

It’s worse than everyone rants about

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

It has its moments

[@zeelyweely1590]

​@@24hr-GamingHad a TEA reclear party that cleared first pull. We went for seconds and didn't see Wormhole again in a full hour LMAO

[@julicen]

Congrats on the sponser im happy for you!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

That means a lot, thank you so much!

[@Lunar_Crescentfall]

I feel this, been doing EW EX trials on PF for learning/mount farms. I get so annoyed if someone leaves, because i know the rest will follow ESPECIALLY if we are progging or so close to clearing it. Or like one wipe on a mount farm, LIGHT PARTY. I get they want to be fast but for the love of god, just stay, wipes happen and mistakes do. We're all human. I dont know if there are statics out there that just do extreme trials for mounts, but im getting to that point. lol Im on EU too.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I'm sure there are friend groups that do so if asked, but yeah, people just want flawless runs

[@pepemr.13]

Lemon i wish you the very best, grow large so we can be proud of you!!

[@valistahammerfist7096]

Just gonna say, I love Chrono Trigger and I love how you included one of their bgm. Wish we could time travel back before we wasted time on PF.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Truly, and I love some Chrono Trigger music

[@kroganlauncher]

My friends and I have arrived at the conclusion that outside of hardcore statics, pf is the fastest way to prog and clear fights, buit it comes at the cost of you sanity

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Truly, painful solutions

[@DeadEye364]

PF burned me the hell out of raiding, it astounded me how many “reclear” parties would wipe constantly…week after week. I had to suffer through Light Rampant prog in PF. *Cries*

[@sneakytrip6594]

Same. Didn't even fuck with Anabaseios, didn't even do the EX fights. Probably the most fun I've had with the game in a while.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

The beauty of PF is that it is never going to be an in and out 20 minute adventure

[@Bon-Gi]

I’ve been so frustrated progging P12S in party finder. Getting to the point of desperation. The biggest problem is that people wither LIES about their prog point or they’re obsessed with parsing and so they’re not paying attention to mechanics.

[@zofifthbatchgaming3009]

I would consider myself a very patient person. I've spent hours upon hours struggling in games for no reward other than beating a fight. Nothing has tested the limits of my sanity and patience more than progging savage in PF. But I still come back every week. Bashing my head against a wall since this clear party is stuck on bonds 3. This game is amazing Just waiting and hoping that eventually my friends will get caught up and geared so I at least have someone to yell at for fucking up a simple mechanic.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Patience is mostly tested against 7 clowns until you realize your the 8th one

I used to love this game now I can't really play it anymore, been playing the og ff mmo and although it has its issues, it's just so damn good in so many other ways, if ffxiv was more mmo than narrative I think it could be amazing, but I hope we get a new mmo that experiments with combat, having rotations is kinda boring now I think, it should be more fun cause you have more going on, but spamming the same one or two moves in coordination with other players to create a skillchain in ffxi just feels more fun to me, but I think it's also due to the chit chat you can have when partying as well and the sense of adventure in the sandbox. I'm gonna probably get dawntrail, but I really hope SE does more than just play it safe, they're obviously traumatised from 1.0, but they gotta remember who they are, they're fucking SE, they made the last best old-school mmo and took a dead ffxiv and turned it in to a huge success, but that's running out now. They need to go SE on ffxiv and add some of that ff flavour that makes their mmos stand out

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I have always told myself and kinda spoke about it briefly that SE usually plays it safe to avoid making people upset, but you cannot please everyone, unfortunately
