- The hard mode of the fight from the mission "To Kill A Raven", from a DRG PoV. Party setup is PLD, MNK, DRG x2, WHM x2, THM x2. The cutscenes are the same as the normal mode, so they're not included.
I hadn't forgotten about doing this fight! Things were just pretty busy for a lot of us irl so we weren't able to gather together to do it. Since I was so late to upload it, I'm sure anyone wanting to attempt it has read up on strategies. Besides, the DRG PoV really doesn't do justice to a lot of the complexities of this fight like the meteors and such.
This run is actually pretty messy overall with a lot of deaths, but the battle is so long that you can recover. The key to this fight is being able to make it through a few key things. The first is making it through his initial Megaflare via Lunar Curtains or Battle Voice if using a BRD. The second is interrupting his Dalamund Dives in phase 2. Solid DDs will have no problem with this. The third is making it through the phase in which he summons a ton of golems. The MNK and mages should handle those while the DRGs push his HP down. The last is the meteor spam phase. This is probably the worst part, and relies heavily on having super skilled mages/ranged attackers. I won't even begin to explain it as it's complicated, I'll just link BG's strategy which explains every facet of the fight really well.

As an aside, yeah I know I died 2x in this video. The first time, I pulled hate... I got him off of me, but he hit me then aoed, not much I could do. The second, I'm not sure what happened. 99 and I were both behind him, and we were somehow still hit by his beam. It might be because he turned just a little as he fired it, I'm not sure, that was the only time anything like that had happened.
Anyway, it's looking like this is about the end of 1.0 content. I will of course be uploading videos of the final end of the world events, and I plan to make a little compilation video of FFXIV 1.0 as well~
Thanks for watching! - เกม

It's legitimately amazing how this looks like a pre-alpha tech demo compared to the live FFXIV we have now
NGL kinda sad the little steps weren't brought back for Turn 9. A non-flat arena for a trial seems pretty novel to me
Thank you for posting these. I rarely get a chance to play, so I ended up missing all of the game content from Garusa Wakening on.
Good job out there, pretty smooth fight!
It was fun to read your PT-log as well, haha :)
"You are out of TP"
What does this mean?
TP is a resource like MP that existed in FF XIV before Shadowbringers came out. It was used largely for the abilities of the melee jobs. It was removed as superfluous.
@@Skijaramaz Haha I know. My comment was a joke. I've been playing since ARR Beta 2. :)
I love the bgm
Ah, the memories.
Love the dragoon sounds here
I love how he flopped at the ending - Such a serious fight XD
anyone knows the name of the music in the background?
MrLordmax10 Rise of the White Raven
thanks Tatsuya Arisato
+MrLordmax10 IT doesn't receives enough recognition, still talking about One Winged Angel and stuff
Holy shit, this is some tough fight
As someone who never played 1.0, was there no concept of aggro? The lancers (dragoons?) are the first to start the fight and nowadays that would lead to a lot of twisted panties.
There was, and if you watch, one of the DRGs gets killed at some point. Managing your aggro was an important part of DPSing, and tanks actually had to TRY to maintain aggro too. To really DPS efficiently, you had to make smart use of aggro reducing tools and also space your burstier combos more intelligently, as well as actually have a good tank; a bad tank meant you had to constantly hold back your DPS to keep from pulling the boss. Nowadays there IS no concept of aggro whatsoever in XIV, just put on tank stance and keep it forever pretty much. They made it so the only time aggro is even relevant is for tank swaps.
Dragoons opening was considered fine because dragoons in 1.0 were a kind of weird hybrid job that wore tanky armor so they could eat a few autos for the privilege of getting to start damage earlier.
@@Longlius This was still kind of a thing in 2.x as well, with many armours being tanks + dragoon and having higher armour. I think they abandoned the concept finally in Heavensward, or very late ARR.
I've been in the ARR beta since phase 2, and I really grew to love the game the more I played it and the more I read about all the blood, sweat, and tears the team put in to it. It's truly a wonderful game. While I'll never get to experience this side of FFXIV putting your videos in fullscreen and following along for the battle is almost the same; thank you so much for uploading these!
i thought he was called Nael van Darnus in 1.0?
+TurboNemesis Nael van Darnus is his first phase, Nael Deus Darnus is after being overwhelmed with Dalamud's power if I'm not mistaken
*She. Nael's helm getting knocked off before the Turn 9 fight showed as much. The real Nael van Darnus died some time prior to 1.0 story, it's his sister we were fighting.
Bahamut's incarnation of him, didn't get it right ofc, wrong model.
What did you think of 1.0's combat? It looks really slow but I think I would have really enjoyed it. I wish I had the chance to have played it but I was in Basic training while the game was out and the few months before that I was living in my mom's basement with the lights cut off without a penny to my name. I am in the beta for ARR and it's amazing now I hope there are fights like this later on in the game.
Shadowbringers now. Given it a try?
Going back and watching it... I remember how repetitive this fight was.... long and drawn out... but the same stuff over and over :X
airricksreloaded but with the lag and the system itself, it was very hard to tank xD I beat it on PLD and remember having to concentrate as much as I could, making the 30min seem like 10 xD
oh, like the endgame in ffxiv since heavensward?
Fights back then took a lot more awareness, though. First of all, you actually had to manage your TP and use your stuff efficiently to avoid any downtime whereas these days downtime doesn't exist as long as the boss is in range (or if you can slidecast as a mage), then you had to consider that animations were locked, so you had to be aware of what the boss was doing when choosing how to actually attack because some animations were longer than others, and then you actually had to be aware of what the boss itself was doing to dodge accordingly. Fights back then couldn't be boiled down to a literal flowchart as easily as anything since 2.0. Sometimes you're lucky if a mechanic just has a couple permutations, like the latest savage fights, but that's about all you get. It simply became a game of memorizing where to stand, while pressing a series of buttons that never changes no matter what (ideally anyway), without a care for timing, aggro management, and barely a care for positioning til a mechanic simply requires you to stand on a specific spot. I still have fun doing savage content these days, but it really isn't the same.
@@Klefth Let's not pretend 1.0 XIV was difficult. Like XI it was a game of resource management, but half the time you were just autoattacking or just standing there.
@@haaliaateden4821 If that's how you were playing, you had zero clue. You don't see that in this video either. If you knew how to manage your resources properly and had a good tank, you could combo nonstop. 1.0 had a higher skill floor where if you didn't know how to play your job well, your gameplay would pretty much come to a grinding halt, as opposed to ARR+ where if you have no idea what you're doing, you can still roll your face on the keyboard.
So close to the time limit, holy crap :o
my group once timed out with a sliver of hp to go. The whms said if they'd dps'd more we'd have had it w/o having to go back in and get it.
What's your favorite class in XIV?
gunbreaker
Time mage
More DOTS!
Watching all this 1.23 content makes me sad, I wish I had the money at the time to have been able to enjoy that stuff :(
D: Why am I on PLD! WARRIOR ONLY
Lol, I know, still, the white Raven never falls! He flops! XDDD
all of those other MMO's better use this as an example of how to make chalenging content. Best. Fight. Ever.
It's 11 years now. Anyone have an opinion?
@@Ratix24 yup. I hate what FF14 became. It was better before a realm reborn. Not because of the story or music, but the RPG mechanics are very poor implemented. Gear isn’t fun to chase because the only number that matters is item level. Among a lot of other things I don’t feel like getting into.
I see what you mean. I've never played 1.23's combat, but watching this fight really makes me wish I did. The game feels like it's own thing with it's own rules. With a bit more speed, and less delay between actions, I can see this taking off.
ARR's combat is pretty solid though, so I won't write it off immediately and let the updates roll in to see what Square can really do with it.
Would like to see where you landed five years later. I'm still playing, a lot.
Thoughts on newer fights like the Ruby Weapon EX?
@@ponderingForever Very solid, very fun. I haven't fought Ruby EX (I went full casual after my static broke a year ago), but the ideas SE has for the fights these days, while predictable to handle, are often varied enough to maintain freshness.
haha im from the future. you just mash 4 buttons now
I don't know if it's because I was expecting a Dissidia MMORPG, but that battle system seems a little... ordinary.
too bad before bahamut prime released. they already shut down 1.0.... I want to see bahamut prime boss fight (t13) in 1.0 format xD
Aditya NoViant I believe there wasn't any "real" coils before. I think this is the only one. But I'm not sure
Coil didn't exist until ARR.
Ew no. Bahamut Prime in 1.0 battle system?
I see why it was shut down now.
yeah good thing now we have gameplay that consists of rolling your face on your keyboard with 0 fight awareness
@@MaxxyBee lol go do savage content
its exactly that tho, you dont need to focus on anything and just do your premade runaround thats the exact same every week then continue mashing your abilities
you dont need to be aware of whats going on, you only have to be aware of what you have to do
@@MaxxyBee And what's wrong with that? it's just a game man. FFXIV's raids are like learning a choreographed dance for 8-24 people. Yea it may not be the randomly determined react-fast pace of WoW's end game but that doesn't make it any less fun. Its still plenty enough punishing as it is, especially for an audience that puts value in other stuff than just raiding.
@@TryckSpot because FF14 doesn't give you any sense of an actual battle. I finished this fight, and have the earrings to prove it. No fight in FF14 made my heart pump as much as this one did.
Noticed the lag during his abilities though. Gotta love that Japanese server connection :/
so funny
do u know if the New FFIV gonna be free to play??? BTW nice video :D
This battles greatness is compared to Ex-death, Sephiroth, Kefka, etc. The emotion from darnus is just pure evil and madness. It just gives you the incentive that you're the only one that can stop him! Great Video! Rumor has it that this fight will return in future updates, but not known when.
Well he appears in the 2.2 trailer (6:30), so... perhaps very soon.
@@Nesaru He is the fight in T9! The fight isn't exactly like it was in 1.0 (the staircases aren't even accessible and you don't have to DPS meteors down) but it's just as frantic and one mistake will wipe your party shortly after it's made, even at level 70 unsynced with a high item level. Squeenix wanted the Coils to always be challenging, and by god they are. (though last night during a guild run we melted Twintania before the phase change and she bled to death during it. It was hilarious :D)
@@Shadethewolfy Yeah, I did the fight back when it was relevant. She's got a few new things compared to her 1.0 counterpart (dragon add, divebombs, 'Jump,' Elementals and Heavensfall)
@@Nesaru Eeyup. A very fun fight :D 1.0 version looks... eh. I have no comment. Though it looks pretty clunky thanks to 1.0's battle system.
@@Shadethewolfy It is clunky, which is why some 1.0 players (especially those who raised a fuss over the Raven earrings) claim that the 1.0 fight is harder. It has animation locks, no telegraphs and BLM's had to go as THM so they could use Sentinel (so they can use Elixirs and not Lunar Shrouds or whatever it was).
Personally I still find T9 to be tougher. It's a shorter fight and you can't blame animation locks (unless Jumping) or telegraphs for your mistakes.
Best battle in my entire MMO history.
yush! also at least for me, PLD and BLM were far more interesting in terms of how they were played. PLD with healing and BLM actually having to worry about their MP. better days, better days.
i can vouche for 1.0's system. the combo system felt engaging and rewarding because i wasn't just using the same skill over and over, i had to think about which combo i wanted to use.
as you can see from those dragoons in the vid up there, dragoon was hella fun.
Ooof, bad memories of the pain of doing this. And now the earrings we worked so hard to get are now a seasonal event item for everyone to get for doing a few FATEs in the next Rising event.
Yeah, lots of salt on the forum atm. I'm pissed as hell. I worked my butt off to get mine legit.
Who gives a fuck, i've cleared shit a lot harder than this fight.
Yeah. Shame legacy players still have a mount, tattoo, permanent sub discount, name in the credits. But OH MAN MAH EARRINGS no one wore or cared about until this event.
Booohooo you played a game stop being a snowflake.
Yeah, I never managed to get this fight done. Tried once or twice, but just didn't have the time. (both due to life and the fall of dalamund). It really sucks that they turned it into pretty much a glamour piece.
Though, looking at the people that replied to you, I guess I'm kind of glad that I left the game when I did. People weren't this toxic when I played.
Ahh, nostalgic. I did both the mnk, blm and brd roles depending on what wasn't filled. Got my White Ravens. Although SE has decided to flip us off now and give them for the current game's 5th anniversary event. So much for a proud trophy even though it's just glamour now.
I haven't played in a while...but are you serious? That's not cool.
its a good showcase of the current state of the game vs 1.0 : everyone is able to get anything they want while putting minimal effort
todays endgame is pretty much daily/weekly chores without any other substantial rewards than glamour items and equipment with stats that will be made completely obsolete in a future patch
@@MaxxyBee Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I quit 2.0. After the 2nd? 3rd? weekly duty currency for the latest gear, I was done. I got my gae bolg and my dragoon gear and was just done. Doubly so when they started to charge real money for weddings. My wife and I got married in FFXI and it cost time and effort. Not money. Charging money for in game wedding is just... yeah no.
dang, this looks a lot more fun than the current game LOL! Looks like actual final fantasy gameplay instead of skinned wow
Except it's not
FFIV is free to play, just download an emulator and a rom and have fun
