vortexWeapons.mp4

Two videos in one day? Yes, I'm trying to make up for the six months of radio silence with quick shitposts.

[@superboy9431]

what do you mean "my game's weapons should have a fair amount of balance to provide the player with different options and vary the gameplay" ?

[@serjangelo]

Wew :D Nice seeing you making vids again. All the overpowered stuff aside, this event was pretty good, I really enjoyed the Lvl 120 Garuda fight, makes my 2nd favourite boss in the game

[@asetoniffxv22]

Don't get used to it. I could be gone any moment. And yea, I really enjoyed the event myself as well, especially the boss. Also now I'm curious... Who is your number one?

[@serjangelo]

@@asetoniffxv22 Bahamut, of course! Gotta rank my top 5 as Bahamut > Garuda > Aranea > Ifrit > Cerberus (all at their highest lv, eg. lv 120 Aranea)

[@NeroDeAngelo]

Haha, shit that's good xD Love those new weapons, ESPECIALLY those daggers x3

[@BenJaiK]

When I saw the new weapons I was kinda thinking about this. Glad you made a video quickly, lol.

[@justunnam3d]

At first used these non stop, then I realised its more fun to use literally anything else Except the guns, warp strike till their limbs brake wich is usually 1-3 warps That and some bosses/superbosses I’ve already beaten whiteout them, but need to farm them

[@Insig385]

HAHAHAHAHA i know balance is totally fucked but i can't stop lolling anyway

[@kevin13cabello]

I need these now lol

[@giosue6004]

the game decided that I can not take the new weapons even if I have all the materials

[@asetoniffxv22]

Some of the required materials are weapons, and you can't trade away weapons that you have equipped, so make sure you don't have them on any of the bros.

[@giosue6004]

@@asetoniffxv22 thank you

[@Sunila_DragonladyCH]

Oh wow! Er... wow...

[@LuNicz]

Are these only temporarily available?

[@asetoniffxv22]

I don't know, they haven't said anything about that.

[@mega20able]

So far, the current events (the FFXIV and Terra Wars collabs) don't have an expiration date yet, so it's possible (but not outright confirmed) that they'll be the last for the game, considering we won't see new content after Episode Ardyn comes out. If that's the case, there's no reason for SE to patch them out of the game like they did with the festivals, but I don't work there, so who knows

[@jimmytsai1788]

i would like but the like count is too nice already

[@tjs1212]

Agreed

[@weeb_trash5775]

Um the damage scary shit

[@emanuele8000]

i use the select chapter but i lost the 90 stone is patched?

[@kyronix560]

Would you mind telling exactly how you achieved that amount of damage every hit?

[@parkwayvocalist]

a little late but aside from food buffs, he has rare metal equipped which has limit break for regular attacks, other accessories which boost attack stat and also the vortex weapons do additional bonus damage for aerial attacks so he can land max damage for every hit

[@justunnam3d]

@@parkwayvocalist not to mention vortex weapons have 100% crit chance

[@jeremiahvernon5266]

HOLLLLYYYYY SHIT

[@asetoniffxv22]

If you want a more analytical look at the new weapons, I did do a pretty lengthy writeup about them on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/FFXV/comments/a5tfs0/an_unnecessarily_detailed_analysis_on_the_new/ tl;dr: They're pretty broken

[@jpHasABadHandle]

Että mitäs pentelettä?!

[@nicovoth7243]

Zwill now bottem tier?

[@asetoniffxv22]

No no no no. Not bottom tier, just not the best anymore. Overnight we just got a dagger that was even more OP than Zwills.

[@Starcat5]

@@asetoniffxv22 So basically the difference between S tier and S+ tier.

[@thecrosswindwielder1923]

What are vortex weapons

[@asetoniffxv22]

A bunch of new weapons that were added today with the FFXIV collaboration. They're also stupidly powerful.

[@slendermf8588]

Is this a joke or is it actually real? Sauce?

[@asetoniffxv22]

The source is myself. I recorded this. As for how real this is, it all happened in game, but the video does exaggerate the truth for the sake of bringing the point across. That particular spot in Adamantoise is extremely weak, I'm using a speedrun strategy to attack it rapidly and I've cut out the part from the start where I applied three enhancement buffs. This level of damage output can be achieved with Zwill Crossblades as well and has been possible ever since the release of Rare Metal, but the difference is that Zwills require even more preparation and that with the same level of preparation Plumes of the Vortex can shoot even higher. However, explaining all that takes time and this video wasn't meant to be educational. It is comedy that is driving home a point: that there is now something even more OP than Zwills out there.

@@asetoniffxv22 Wow thanks, thats some really cool info and its pretty crazy how you are able to do all these things, despite knowing this is a Final fantasy youtube account, i would love to see this kind of content with more games if possible
