As an FFXI player of 21 years who still plays to this day, this made me emotional. I don't really play XIV, but they did Vana'diel good here. I LOVE that you can actually see the Galka in the Shadow Lord's face at 27:43! And Prishe with references to all her moves and dialogue from CoP! And assuming that this raid is actually taking place in the real Walk of the Echoes (the world between worlds), that means Eorzea and Vana'diel aren't that far apart from each other. The two worlds may just be a couple Cavernous Maws away from connecting each other. Although... not sure how I felt about the AA voices haha; they always sounded a lot more sinister/monstrous in my head. Thank you, CGInferno, for uploading without any commentary! I loved going on a ride through the First Walk without any interruptions. 🙂
i kinda knew that shadow lord would be the main boss since poster status, but i really was expecting AAs to be the final boss as a twist given the plot
I was bound by AATT Then cinematically obliterated by AAGK It was glorious Would have been the cherry on top if a light skill chain went off over my corpse followed by the down level sound 😂
@@FarisBeitar bro is spreading misinformation LOL. almost 3 years ago, when ew came out, everyone and their grandma was praising the game. because it was good. but, go herd mentality, right?
@@jules5660 you can check my FFXIV account which I made first on V01 of the game, after they killed the game, i've never ever played. I kept playing FFXi. Yes i've watched FFXIV content but never played it after V01 died. Its simply because FFXI is far superior, need skill and communication to play and win.
@@jules5660 i think calling one mmo better versus another will always be entirely subjective, i grew up with ffxi, and while i also have played 14 to me 11 is the better mmo, but not because it has better mechanics or classes or whatever, but because the gear matters. i totally get why people love 14, but when i play a game personally i'd really like the gear i obtain to have use months to years down the line. absolutely 14 is a good mmo but people will obviously have their preferences
Never played FF11 but this feels so...meh? Previous raids based on other FF titles had some cool things for people unfamiliar but this isnt very exciting looking. Will play it in a few weeks when I log back in to see how it plays but not really excited. It does look like it comes from an older MMO so I guess they nailed it.
I dunno, maybe not everything is totally new but they force you to keep moving and fight for your uptime. For content that needs to be completed by those who aren't hardcore raiders it feels like a pretty good step up.

Man they really amped up the difficulty with this raid. I don't think anyone was expecting that.
I think it's more chaotic than hard, but I will admit if people go down it makes it substantially harder due to a lot of stacking damage
I haven't played XIV in a long while but this looks very easy, all the tells were super obvious...
21:56
Reaper gets taken out by OG guillotine
Respect
Was good to hear that sound effect again.
As a OG 11 player and DRK main…that made my heart smile 😂
omg take me back to vana'diel

Yes because the AA defeated the shadow lord.
i only been on once and its been a forever queue with pld & whm. i like how the ark angels use a real taru-taru.

He should’ve did dark nova on our asses tbh.
Listening to FFXI battle theme in FFXIV is soo cool...sadly im not far enough into FFXIV to play the raid.
Go back to FFXI it's better.

AAGK having only one swing animation is a bit disheartening. They could have put a bit more effort into it...
Modding community in shambles
Was anyone else hoping for a spike flail
She keep charging like Donkey Kong from smash brothers lol.

dungeon battle #3 !!!!!
The crab song
Not really a fan of Prishe's voice or accent. Ill never understand why everything in Eorzea has to be heavy British.
This is it? I think ill just stick with ffxi.
It is the first part of the raids, I think there is going to be like 3 more....
Best part about this raid we get bakool ja ja
Bakool Ja Ja is just Gulool Ja Ja under a different name. How very XI of SE to pull a palette swap and rename to make a new character.
Sorry, but he's not actually new. He was already present during 7.0 as a major character.
???
How very FF you mean. Color swaps since the beginning.
The boss mechanics are rather disappointing... I expected more when Yoshi-P said they'd be changing things up this expansion.
its a step up from endwalkers alliance raids imo. mind you the endwalker ones were as easy as they get imo
