woops' first Sphene EX Trial clear! (w/ Team awkraidtime) - FFXIV Highlights #44

[@Ovadia381]

I absolutely love the editing Jill did with this, as well as Noober's video drawing to show and plan out how to potentially solve mechanics while progging. Fantastic video, I love how it just makes it feel like the audience follows along and learns the fight with awkraidtime.

[@LS-cp2to]

Does anyone know what program he's using to draw on videos? Windows used to do it natively, but not anymore. :(

[@ShikenAegis]

22:47 I love this classic Dragoon brainfart moment of "oh god run, WAIT, I HAVE A BUTTON FOR THIS"

[@taterobinson9841]

The "I rolled a 1" at the end hit me on a spiritual level...

[@Xcess91]

People looking at the Golbez arena: It's going to spin isn't it. SE: No but thanks for the suggestion.

[@something5270]

WOAH, Jill had this out so quick

[@Mezegis]

I love this fight, on par with Barbarricia for top S tier Extreme. Great stuff Woops.

[@mimapaws]

pog, another woops vid

[@Ultrapyre]

The busted up Queen Eternal straight up having the color scheme of Dark Falz Apprentice from PSO2... IDK if it's a funny coincidence or a subtle wink-nudge from the devs.

[@ShanaGartrex]

An EX having a p2 is wild for me... I love it... More please square.

[@craigfunk3453]

most 3rd EX trials for the expansions add a new phase, Endsinger being the exception since it technically starts after the Tank LB3 from normal mode, just a bunch of 1 shot mechanics instead

[@NeroLucifarious]

Yea some have a 2nd phase like hades

[@florac1995]

@@craigfunk3453 endsinger didn't even have a full first phase with how quickly it starts looping...

[@brendansdnd1726]

I'm not big on the raiding scene, but it's just super satisfying to see uniform, synchronized movement lol

[@silvertrinity3446]

I felt that 1.

[@hoxqdave9271]

What's that program Noober was using to draw on the screenshots like this? It seems super handy

[@KaguyaEne]

I believe it is Miro board, assuming they haven't swapped to using something else since Light-Heavyweight.

[@Wither_kun]

I have literally never played this game ever but i still love the experience and passion yall have for this game. I just dont know if I should give a game like this a try. I love the genre of game but the grind and lack of friends who play this is probably what would kill it for me. Any recommendations??

[@meuanglao7]

An active free company (the ff equivalence of a guild) would probably really help you to get into it. Good way to make friends, and they tend to help out new players with older content

[@wireboy6462]

The game is rather new-player-friendly compared to other MMOs. As the other reply said, an active free company (often abbreviated FC) is a great way to make friends, but XIV is also more of an RPG first, MMO second so solo play is still really good while you find the right companies to join. Don't be afraid to change FCs either. Some just might not be a good fit. There is a free trial that includes the first two expansions with level progression up to 70. Hundreds of hours of content to enjoy all for free with some limitations (currency cap, some social functions, others that I don't know off hand). Highly recommend giving it a try at least on the Free Trial.

@@wireboy6462 thank yall both ill take these into consideration!!

They call him the what? A beverage of sorts?
