Chapters:
Really, I'm not sure how I can easily prove to you that I played Final Fantasy 14 solo without using the marketboard or roulettes or parties or retainers outside of uploading the 100 hours of ff14 footage I have, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one insane enough to care anyway. I mean I showed almost every ff14 craft and gather I did.
Can you play FFXIV solo? Singleplayer FFXIV even? I don't even know what to call this. I mean it's definitely not ff14 money making. I might be an Ultimate Legend UWU rdm pov, but I'm not sure how that's relevant. Maybe this is a FFXIV solo guide? Final Fantasy 14 Warrior solo? Maybe one day I'll do a Eureka Orthos solo run like a normal person. - เกม

Rath Games: So after grabbing two pieces of Ironworks Gear-
Me: Technically counts as a NPC Purchase with a different currency. :P
Am I being specific/particular? Yes. Does it mean anything? Probably not. At least not other than a bit of good-natured heckling. I'm pretty sure I'd have neither the fortitude nor the drive to stick with soloing thorugh a MMO with such stringent rules anyway. x)
@@TormaXimnus Theres the specification in the rules that if its exclusively available from an NPC we can make the purchase, so Ironworks is fair game :^)
Love the concept of Solo Only having a fan club of people who support him (emotionally) (they can’t actually help or interact)
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying: Can't wait for Crystal Tower
Right? That is going to be a super exciting video!
Is there a way around CT? Thought there was a minimum party requirement to even enter the instance
are you even allowed to do 24-man stuff solo? like, snyched or unsynched doesnt matter, i'm not sure you can physically enter it tmk
I think u can't solo CT since you need at last 4 People per plattform after the first boss to kill the Atmas 🤔
they dont know….
Woo, Rath has finally accepted that the BLU mage explosion sacrifices work!
You can do open world quests as a Blue Mage... might be a better leveling experience (and faster) than anything else you can find in ARR
FATEs also aren't bad for EXP if you're struggling
getting king mog done level synced is insane, i love this series, you do such a good job!
Congrats! Didn't know there were such interesting mechanics after Mogglemog's usual kill time, huh!
(Also I'm convinced FC recruiters just /sea and go down the list - I've had DMs trying to recruit me out of nowhere, as someone on the Free Trial (with it clearly indicated on my Adventurer Plate) with no one nearby)
They message and invite everyone not in an fc.
is the reason dragon quest music is used throughout the series because Solo is also the name of the male hero in dragon quest 4
:^)
I love these updates so much. Thank you for doing these! They are really entertaining.
Also, I am never going to try to do the same challenge. This looks miserable.
for a final push you should do a full arr relic solo and see how long it takes
sadly relic isnt possible yet cause of the primal requisites
@@genericworm2346I believe you can use BLU to fulfill the primal part of the relic, since you don't need to have the relic equipped to progress, just the unique drop for completing the trial with the quest active.
I was about to say "what do you mean? I solo'd all the primals" but then I remembered I didn't have any restrictions like level sync or no echo. I just ticked unrestricted party and that was it.
Bro I love this series, but I gotta give you an extra hand for your supremely underrated ad reads. They're so comforting and relaxing and they're probably the only ad reads I've never felt the compulsion to skip immediately.
Also, grats on the kill! :)
That's incredibly kind :'^) Thank you. Im glad you enjoy them
Agreed! I love the ad reads. Especially the cat inclusion("Hooman what do you mean these snacks in the box aren't for me??? They're in a *box*!")
I have no idea how the hell Crystal Tower is going to work, but I would also be lying if I said I wasn’t properly invested in seeing how far this prolonged suffering will go on.
Last I heard, It's gonna be Solo using plot armor and summonning his other sundered selves form the other reflections. (a.k.a Playing with a few other players that he has personally verified have ALSO gotten to CT completely solo, but they're all tanks and can't interact with each other, just hit the bosses. and when there are adds they have to attack separate targets.)
@@NemesisTWarlock are they at least allowed to coordinate over voice chat so they don’t accidentally attack the same adds?
Yooo congrats on the Moggle Mog kill. Really unfortunate that BLU didn't pan out, but at least GNB is a nice new addition to your lineup. Sad Bill has to be benched, though.
just finished watching the playlist so far and I'm so looking forward to the next part! Really love this series!
The voice-over is nice cause it gives extra info that i either didn't know or didn't catch on the streams
The use of Grueling Fight for the King made me so happy
Great song
Im glad you liked it :0 and impressed you could pick it out
I love that you are approaching solo FF content as if it were a souls game with personal challenge and trial and error. Very fun to watch !
Great video! Really enjoyed watching it. That is some commitment!
not only you made me want to come back to FF but you also made me want to try out the solo only playstyle, looking forward to the next episodes!
I really enjoy this series. Very fun to watch!
Your cheer of joy is one of the best things I've heard all week! I don't even know what you look like but I could see your smile beaming across the galaxy through the sound.
woooooooo advertisements moving up in the world Rath
also great video
what a resilient chapter! i was really awed by all the options everyone suggested and tried, and keeping on going even after the shocking twist was amazing
man i love your videos so much i always get excited for your uploads
Amazing as always can't wait for more
This is a criminally underviewed video dude, this is some seriously amazing stuff, keep it up!
Thank you :'^) I'm glad you enjoyed so much.
I was there for some of the streams and this video barely does the amount of effort that went into this justice. Gj mate and good luck.
I did in fact notice the video quality had dropped... I had actually just checked my youtube settings to make sure it was still playing at 1080p just seconds before you pointed it out! That was perfectly timed!
Seeing someone else's main being a soft-faced elezen too is wonderful to see!!! It's so rare to find another in the wilds, so discovering a TH-camr I greatly respect has one is pretty awesome!
Thoroughly enjoyed this!! Congrats!
Thank you. Im happy to know you liked it so much :'^)
this video was a nice birthday surprise! :) looking forward to the next one!
Happy birthday :0
@@rathgames Thank you 💕
You've been a bit of an inspiration for me to solo w/ lvl sync the three STB trials that drop blue mage spells. It was nice to hear you also using the Echo stacking trick, too, to boost hp and dps.
Im glad you can enjoy it
I just started to play FF 14 and just need to say i love this series! Thanks for the hard work !
Thank you :'^) I hope you enjoy your playthrough
@@rathgames I am so far! It is a lot to take in. But it is still fun!
Omg, how did I not see this when it came out. I am so excited
Congratulations on defeating Moggle Mog! That was incredible!!
I leveled blue mage myself from 1 to 50 so i can understand the pain you had go through.
I did the same, but I only got to 45 before giving up and asking someone to help me level to 70
@@GrimnoireIf either of you arent at 80 yet, and have SHB areas unlocked, you can solo power level in The Tempest pretty easily. One mob type will instakill another mob type that comes near, so you can abuse that for quick solo levelling.
@@trustytrest is it in amarot? Or the sahagin territory
I'm so hyped for this that I can hardly breathe!!!!
Sidurgu would be proud of that moogle kill
Well, I did say I would make a comment after raid, so here I am. Another fun video describing the pain you went through :P
Excellent as always!
Thank you Jaki :'^)
Unlocking gunbreaker to have a full level 60 kit instead of only level 60 stats with 50 abilities was a great call
Another Solo video, another Palace grind
HERE WE GO BABYEEEEEEE! Seventh Astral Era tiiiiiiime!
And time to switch Warrior for Gunbreaker for (hopefully) the forseeable future.
My crazy friend Neko said that you're stuff is great to watch, being a crazy FFXIV person myself, and I have to agree, you are a god damn star in the sky.
Im glad we can all be crazy together
Gotta rep the sponsor for Rath. There’s way too many subscription box services out there and we’re all probably tired of them, but I tried out Sakuraco and I love it! The curated themed box was a joy and the variety of Japanese treats were tasty, I’d recommend it!!
Half of my first sub was spent dedicated to beating this mf on a lvl 60 RDM before I was forced to experience the MMO part of this game. I thought about doing it on BLU, but trying to get the spells solo killed that idea quickly. I had played the game for just a month at that point. I'm actually impressed I even made it to the King himself on a DPS because getting past Pom Meteor was impossible.
You're my hero for doing this UNSYNCED
nice cameo from the Battlefront Lootbox
Oh hey, I'm back at leveling up my BLue as well.
Started back at 56ish the other day, up to 68 right now.
wooo nice job rath
Now you wait just a minute. That Chocobo is technically a party member. Tsk Tsk
Damn, the determination is admirable.
I can only pray that you turned off the in-game music during these attempts. Hours of off-brand Nightmare Before Christmas would drive me insane x_X
Oh I was stuck with it the whole time :^)
good ol' Blue Mage, here we go
"The worst /dance in the game: male Elezen"
Spoken like someone who has never seen female Roegadyn /dance
Or female Highlander
Honestly it’s really cool seeing these bosses in a more difficult light
I picked up FFXIV about a year ago and found myself quite disappointed at how brainless majority of the fights felt until around Shadowbringer.
Really, a lot of it is due to the general gear level at each expansion. The earlier expansions, especially after stats were squished down, don't really swing high enough to deal with everyone having ilvl 130 gear in a dungeon/trial made for ilvl 60-90. Even with level sync, the extra substats or being at that cap is a huge difference. I never saw a lot of the mechanics myself either. It's a wonderful thing to get to learn each boss to intimately.
Use silence echo and min il settings in duty finder.
INCREDIBLE
What is your plan for crystal tower? As far as I am aware, you cannot start an alliance raid instance without at least 3 players, one for each alliance. Not to mention the mechanics that hard require multiple people in order to progress.
The plan shall be a surprise :^)
@@rathgamesa surprise for us, but hopefully not a surprise for you. (Love the bg music btw)
Congrats on the new milestone! Been loving the series, I always enjoy a good snowflake run. What song is it that is playing over the last run? (Starts around 20:30)
DqXI Grueling Fight I believe is the name though it might be battle or some other word for fight. :^) im glad you enjoyed it
I recently finished the final fishing quest.
I know your pain.
Congrats on the sponsor!
Hey rath! Loving this series. A friend and I are doing a "duo" ironman run, group ironman if you will i suppose lol. Obviously much easier on than what you're doing. I'm curious what your plans are for any content that *requires* more than 1 person? Like things that you either literally can't start solo, or like crystal tower needing 5 people in each section or whatever. Are you going to just stretch a bit to get any sort of required content that requires more poeple?
It shall be a surprise :^)
I believe in Solo Only, the one true king.
Because of this series i tried to make a light version of this challenge for myself. The only gear i can use is stuff i make myself. God knows where the npc's got the pants from that they give me! those things must be filthy!
Ah yes good king Moggle Mog bane of Raths everywhere.
Absolute madlad 🎉
oh my god superboliding to avoid vuln stacks is hilarious
blue mage and fishing hell yeah
Looking forward to that DQX solo in 2050. Sidenote I think there is a person currently trying to do that.
absolute madlad.
FINALLY, YOU HAVE LEARNED THE GLORY THAT IS GUNBREAKER!
It did take a while but yes. Gunbreaker has taken me in
Adan animation spotted 👀
Man. Rath. You totally have a soothing voice. Are you sure you aren't Larryzaur in another life ? Hmm
Every time I learn another thing that BLU can't do I question even further why it even exists
For fun, yknow, as a little treat.
I dont know what your idea is for getting through CT is ,but I think It would be fair if you just have to be able to solo all the bosses in the Crystal tower. And rest of the stuff you can get help.
I'm very curious to see how Crystal Tower is going to work lol.
You have to do alliance raids before hw. And 8 person trials aren't included in trust system yet.
This is definitely big masochist energy.
Very nice
As a XIV-non-player but Theatrhythm-enjoyer, I'm wondering if you had to (or "got to"?) listen to the King Moogle theme song for hours on end trying to beat him
Yes :'^) I got to :'^}
The thing is, after I started my twink in a new server, I did the dame, but the server was boostet with double exp on everything so I was already 70 wen I meet ultima.
And a warrior with a healer as passive skills the only one that give me trouble was gilgamesh number 3
(you can do cristal tower solo if you find 2 peaple temporarily that helps you join the dungeon and then leave.)
What’s the music played for fighting Good King Moggle Mog at the 40% buff?
Grueling fight dq xi :0
I was really hoping for a time lapse of the entire fight
So, out of curiosity, if you find yourself in a position where you're just not able to get any headway no matter what, will you have to do the unspeakable crime that is Unrestricted party? You might end up needing the minor edge it offers, even if that edge is on the smaller side since you can't get access to the big number gear until you get into Not Vatican Land
Yeah, the level sync silence echo rule is specifically 'For as long as I can' meaning I will always attempt to clear with them first, but it's unrealistic go expect to clear everything without using epic echo at least a few times throughout the whole run
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mooglemog gets mogged
Gaol on Titan Hard will be much harder to deal with. Nail on Ifrit Hard, maybe. But Garuda will be probably worst.
22:17 37 HP!
PSA to everyone watching, there is a very cute cat at 5:30
how would you solo labyrinth of the ancients if you do attempt it? the 3 bosses with platforms that require 4 people to stand on would just kinda screw a solo run over
A surprise :^)
Team goes through all the effort for duty support and leaves trials hanging. 🤷♀️
shoutout to Christ's sunburn
pretty sure BLU tail screw spell works on Hard bosses, it reduces their hp to 1-9 hp, meaning you just need one more hit, probably some other broken spells that works aswell
Still the issue that it won't progress the MSQ though. But could be useful in other instances :^)
I think you downplayed how much we wanted you to go fishing :)
I LOVE YOU
Wait, how would he have got the GNB soul crystal if only at ARR/HW? I thought you unlock the actual class at ShB?
Nope, the class unlock quest is available from pretty much the very beginning. Right there in gridania :^)
@@rathgames oh wow that's crazy, so you just have to have bought ShB but you can play GNB straight away since it's in Gridania? That's cool
@@infinite_azure_ yeah exactly.
2:00 what song is playing in the background I'm gonna go crazy i know it
DQ XI - Bustling Town :^)
@@rathgames I knew it sounded familiar!
for anyone trying this, you can bait a cactuar to the guards and they will kill it for you
True but that wouldnt be very solo
I'm confused on one part. Why did you need to grind out a gunblade to unlock Gunbreaker? Wouldn't you get a free weapon by unlocking the job?
Quest rewards are against the rules for the challenge. I have to make them, get them from a dungeon, or if I cant do either of those as a last resort we can purchase them from an npc.
BLUE MAGE BLUE MAGE BLUE MAGE
😂 ifrit dies to sardine toss.fkin epic gaming right there
