Don’t listen to them, full effects on is the only way to play this game. It’s final fantasy not no effects fantasy 🤣 grats on the clear from a random rec’d vid!

[@MyshKatze]

​@@jf4156 What is "default" camera pitch and what are the other options? Sorry for the question I'm a new player

[@tyrant351]

love that the story concept here is Omega learning the source of our power comes not from any biological or mortal phenomenon, but an irrational and incomprehensible mass of data we call memories and feelings.

[@vanessaspendlove7870]

I’ve never watch an Ultimate before and I have to say this is the most hardcore thing I’ve ever seen! Well done and congratulations on the clear!

Seeing everyone using their lb ir order, aoe to kill the balls, tank to defend the party and healing to heals the party, allways gives me goosebumps. Super cool!! I think Square should bring more fights who use this mechanics in normal/casual maps.

[@steveh1474]

they had the perfect opportunity with endsinger EX and squandered it, tbh.

[@longtimenosee6169]

@@steveh1474 to be fair, it would be anticlimatic if you needed to use the LB in the last fight and someone didn't so you just wipe Would take the wind out of it, it would've been cool if they gave infinite LB but without the 'need' to use it but then it's a balance of how to do that without making the fight last 10 seconds or requiring it

[@pointlessmike]

@@longtimenosee6169 There's nothing anti-climactic about it. It's quite the climax actually for an attack to be so strong you need tank lb to live it. It was done in a previous Extreme too, Seat of Sacrifice iirc. If you find it lame to wipe to a mitcheck, what are you doing watching a top pov?? lol

[@mahiruhoshino]

First of all congrats on the clear and thank you for uploading. As a fellow SMN progging TOP, this will be invaluable.

[@jasonbrothwell5477]

that last phase is something to behold LOL grats on the clear

[@DaedNevar]

damn, we need more fights where we just get to use lb3 a ton like that last phase

[@Scerttle]

You're doing us lore fiends a service having the whole raid with game audio only. Very cool.

[@Rhiaxus]

Thanks for showing me the cutscene at the end, i always wondered what it looked like :)

[@AloYel4d]

I've never seen so many LB3s in my life! It was beautiful :']

[@kunstlerischesetwas1284]

Take a look at the UwU Clear with 30 Tank LB3s XD

[@qwertyuiop3656]

Such an insane and truly most difficult fight. Unbelievable... Thanks for the upload, congrats!

[@ryanrushford7918]

Absolutely epic and amazing. Congratulations to you and your team, well played!

[@Cloudeusz]

Casting limit breaks like regular global in that last phase

[@bewitchingsingularity]

This run of TOP literally is the cleanest run I've ever seen. Excellent job by you all! Amazing comms I'm sure of it. (:

[@yumikimiko398]

Not a single death, every mechanic was executed flawlessly, speechless.

[@andrecello]

damn this looks good in 4k, ggs and job well done.

[@FlashOfSonic]

Love how Omega goes "I can't let this end yet. I still haven't found it." - And in that moment, he finds it.

[@coffeelink943]

Jesus, you made it look easy on video, but actual prog it’s brutal lmao

[@Kooper.]

Solving trio 1 caused a group wide depression because we kept thinking that we have to bait the spinny hands with 4 people until I asked "can't we just use 6?". Trio 3 also took a while because it's so fast!

[@ValkMyda]

The Omega F glam is truly fitting! GG!

[@hansfriedemann4194]

Well done and huge congrats!

Gratz on clear :) I learned a lot

[@ProfessorHeavy1]

Now I can finally appreciate the sound design for Final Omega and Hello, Near/Far World.

[@STOOPIDDUMBY]

Love the goofy wave goodbye your catte gives after that ordeal

[@myespada]

Is healer LB3 at the last phase is a must? Can they just heal or are there some debuff?

[@merlinrecon7528]

Yup there are debuff that must be cleansed using healer lb

[@THiiro]

No benefit to not using it either, as each person only gets 1 free LB so if they don't use it it's not like someone else can unfortunately

[@BlackSkullArmor]

I remember going into Alliance raids as a sprout with effects on and could barely see the boss under all the explosions and effects. Fun times

[@ORANGE200_]

Thank you for the upload!

[@Fallen_Ra1n]

How did you get your quality so crispy, I'm using Shadowplay recording at 4K at max bitrate and it doesn't look nearly as good as your POV.

[@Kooper.]

I only have it set to 100 Mbps bitrate. Are you also playing on a 4K resolution? That's what I'm doing. I also lock my frame rate so the game doesn't steal all the processing power.

[@miragaming9628]

How many LB3 in P6? Can someone tell me in sequence?

[@bari3108]

1. Tank LB (raidwide) 2. Melee LB 3. Melee LB n.2 4. Caster LB (meteors) 5. Phys ranged LB (meteors) 6. Tank LB n.2 (Magic Number) 7. Healer LB (Magic Number debuff) 8. Tank LB n.3 (Magic Number 2) 9. Healer LB n.2 (Magic Number 2 debuff) 10. Melee LB n.3 (enrage)

[@corruptCrown]

Curious, can I ask what you mean by poorly tuned?

[@Kooper.]

The phases are short but the dps checks extremely tight which leads to you sometimes getting behind in the dps check simply due to bad crit rng. This means you have to use more resources to get to the next phase and now you are missing stuff there which puts you behind again. During prog we lost runs in various phases simply because we had bad crit rng. In other runs we had to hold dps because otherwise the boss dies too fast. Some jobs are also strictly better than others. We had to swap out GNB with PLD because bursty jobs are much better for this fight. AST does less damage than WHM for 3 times the effort. Our MNK holds 1 min buffs at the end of P2 because otherwise the boss dies too fast and it will drift in p3. But if we have an AST she can use the 1 min buffs because otherwise we wipe to enrage. I like the challenge that tight dps checks bring but only if you can play what you want and if you aren't bound by crit and DH rng.

[@Tsumi784]

congrats!

[@lightknightgames]

Ooi, does Omega show up in the world where Alpha already does now?

[@ryanrushford7918]

I’m pretty sure the minion version of scarab Omega travels around Eytheyris with Alpha. It’s adorable.

"heLLo WOrlD!?" Gave me a good laugh. Ah, my amateur programming days...

[@SiveenO]

Traditions.

[@leomoreno1013]

why is the sound so low

[@conroconro]

In Phase2 you separate the adds, and at least this run everyone had a marker partner that was on the opposite add. Is that intentional or just got lucky?

[@Kooper.]

That's just a coincidence. We separate the 2 bosses a bit so we can stand a bit more apart and clearly see who we are tethered to.

[@conroconro]

@@Kooper. Ah, thank ya!

[@PrinceSweetBun]

I love that they kind of reprised the whole UWU LB3 spam in the end of this fight. After the snoozefest that was DSR, this is def a welcome fight. Congrats!

[@shadowguy542]

Nice.

[@aizenzger]

Good Video cool guy :D

[@jaspermarkarian7438]

"by far the hardest ultimate", even compared to DSR?

[@Kooper.]

I think so, yes. Both are really hard but I think TOP is harder. They are hard in different ways though. What makes TOP so incredibly hard is the randomness in everything. DSR had patterns in all mechanics but in TOP you just have to wing it all.

[@Indian_gae_boii]

i have never played ff14 i came here to see what it was all about because zepla mentioned how tiring and sould crushing this thing was in her genshin play through but even i can tell that this thing looks very unpleaseant and stressfull, so much going on and so much to look out for

[@thewarriorofboros]

well yeah dude thats cause you're watching the single hardest thing in the game, of course its gonna be stressful with a lot going on

[@danpol715]

This was awesome! As for the fight design - not sure if it's good and would even call it bad and very time wasting, since there were many attacks not indicated in any way, that you could learn only by dying/failing to them and repeating. Imo you should have a chance (even if it's 0,001%) to complete a fight even on 1st try. But with so many attacks hidden behind "you will know only after you get killed by them", it's impossible and I bet very time consuming, probably a lot and a lot of hours/days.

[@kzkaa.]

This isn't exclusive to TOP; most if not all of the high-end raiding falls into this category. Many people thinks fondly of the ultimates. It's like riding a bike for the first time: expect to fail many times, but if you can stand up from each failures and preserve, you will emerge victorious. I think it would helps if we discuss specific examples, like what attacks do you thinks that are not indicated in any way. Because as far as ultimates go, there's usually some sort of telegraph. It's a matter of identifying which one is which. For instance, whether Omega-M is holding a sword or a shield is a detail you need to pay attention to, because it indicates whether you need to go in, our out. I won't keep this long, so if you wanna continue this debate, you are free to do so.
