Info for FFXIV-only viewers: Rhythm Doctor is a rhythm game played by hitting a key whenever a character's heartbeat monitor reaches the 7th beat (the yellow section). The DRK on the bottom calls for you to press the key on a steady rhythm indicated by the spotlights. All of the other visuals like the characters moving around is just for show, adding challenge in obscuring what's going on. The black haired guy playing SCH is Ian, an avid gamer as well as a doctor, and the DRG is being played by his no-nonsense boss Edega, who is giving Ian a hard time for gaming during business hours. The SAM and DRK are played by other hospital patients. Info for Rhythm Doctor-only viewers: The group are playing through the Final Fantasy 14 dungeon The Twinning. Edega is playing as a damage dealer that looks like Richard But A Catboy, while Ian is playing a healer that looks like himself. Edega is playing very poorly, possibly on purpose to teach Ian a lesson. The big robot at the end is a time machine, hence all the time slowdowns going on there. At the end the Samurai attempts to do a big dramatic attack called a Limit Break, but the Lancer preempts him by getting the killing blow first, winning the fight but with a wet fart.
To be honest, I feel like Edega isn't trying to screw Ian over. From the dialogue, I get the assumption that Edega is curious as to what Ian and the patients play (particularly Ian who was playing "on company equipment, in company time") and got in since he had a good amount of free time.
@@mystryvexyll In FFXIV, every expansion has a series of bosses that 8 players fight against. After beating them you can take on extra difficult versions of all those fights, and those are called Savage Raids. They're some of the most difficult fights in the game, surpassed only by Ultimate Raids. Given how badly we see Edega play in this dungeon, which is relatively easy content, savage raids are going to be hopeless, and since Ian is a healer it'll be especially hard for him.
@@watchmp100 Act 5 of Rhythm Doctor showed that Edega is a fair bit more sinister than he seemed back when I made this, yeah. Still think I would've wrote him the same, though.
I love the small touch of the Scholar knowing where the AOEs are and not having to move, down to the "not moving because my hitbox is juuuuuust out of the AOE"
One shame about the recorded run being perfect is that it doesn't show off the miss or partial-miss animations, because I'm especially happy with them: i.imgur.com/NXRJ6Q2.gif
It’s a one-button rhythm game, so you hit the spacebar/clap or whatever button on the seventh beats of the individual lines. “X”s are quiet different effects/sounds are used to indicate changes in rhythms (like “get set go!” indicates that the rhythm is switching to a steady 4/4 rhythm where you “clap” on beats 2 and 4, the rattling means you hold the button for the full beat, and the curved beats mean the rhythm is swung). it’s really fun, and i recommend it!!
Time to give a long Explanation for no reason - Every bar is 7 Beats and you hit on the Seventh Beat. These Beats can be Swing Beats which take the same time but have a Swing Timing. If a Normal Beat has an X On the Bar, that beat will be Silent. It will still be Played Though, just not Audible. If each beat has a Sort of Shake Sound and Takes a While to Play (like row 3 at 1:58 ) then you hold it for the amount of time the Previous Notes were Held. These are Hold Beats and can also catch other beats if they end up being hit while a Hold Beat is playing. The Bottom Beat Is a simple Call and Response Type Beat that's called an SVT Beat. You get the Timing through "Rea-Dy-Get-Set-Go!" with "Dy" and "Set" being when you Hit and the Rest when a Beat starts. However, this Beat can Pulse to add more Flavor. This doesn't change the Hit Timing. If instead of "Go!" You hear "One!" Then the beat only goes Once. If an SVT Beat has 2 Cues before it begins and freezes before it hits, You have a Freeze shot. The length of Time between when you would have hit and when you do actually hit the beat is the same as the First and Second Cue Before the Beat. Sometimes Levels have extra Mechanics created from the Community. For Example : A Yellow Outline - The Beat is only 6.5 Beats long with the last beat going half a Beat Early. A Red Outline - The Beat is 8 Beats long, starting from Beat 2 and going back to Beat 1 Before continuing as Normal. An Owl Hoot/Whistle - The Beat is 3/4 Beats Long, in the pattern of "-XX-XX-" or "-X-X-X-" . These are just to help you tell when a 3 or 4 Beat is Played. An Electric Outline - The Beat is the Same Timing as the Previous Beat (or any specific Marked Beat) and you hit it on the same time no matter what the beat does. This is a Lot so I would recommend Watching or even Playing the Game itself and having a look at the Level Editor.
I literally had to watch 2 video on what this game was, and how to play it before understanding this one. But after that, I can finally say, that this is pretty neat.
A lot of people talking about the DRK animation for unleash and DRG floor tanking. But another cute detail is the tank actually using mitigations in 1:17 . Notice as well that the cast is on a “rattle” beat meaning you have purposefully miss the next hit which could signify downtime for dps. Doesn’t make sense though since TBN is an oGCD, but still a neat touch.
I'd never heard of Rhythm Doctor before this video, but I'm obsessed with the detail! I feel like every time I rewatch this I catch something new, and I've been rewatching it a lot.
Oh my god! this is the crossover i didnt know i needed, but god damn, you capture the essence of both Rythm Doctor and FF14 so well, props to you my man
The sheer amount of work that went into this... bravo. 'Twas a pleasure to experience. My only regret is that I have only one like to give. -- also casting the evil politician as a DRG and having him seemingly be incapable of dodging many AOEs is prime hilarity for TWO reasons.
As a Healer myself (WHM) I rather feel for that SCH for several reasons... But this looks amazing for the fact it's 14 themed and even replicates gameplay to a degree, a great play and kudos for the devs to allow this kinda thing.
Anyone else pay attention to the fact by about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the way through the video, the guy who is "dressed" as a dragoon was knocked out twice...
I'm the opposite of most of the comments: I 100% beat rhythm doctor but I have no clue what is ff14 (or more so the story). I'm getting none of these references lol 💀
I've been waiting for this song to pop up on the mod scene somewhere. But I guess I need to go to the discord now, something I've held back against for some time! D: Anywho, time to finally play this song.
This is probably one of my favortie FF14 songs, even though I don't even play the game. I actually first heard it playing Theatrhythm Final Bar Line on Switch, and it's such a great song, I even managed to clear it on Supreme difficulty. Didn't do well, but I cleared it. Anyway, amazing level! I wouldn't be able to clear this one either probably, but it's super well done with all the custom sprites and mechanics!
The Dragoon just havin the time of his life as someone truckin threw currently as a dragoonI would say 1/3rd of the way threw stormblood I have fully embraced people seeing me die as dragoon now I just go into each dungeon to have an absolute blast of a time no matter how many times I die to mechanics or backflipping off platforms to get away from an AOE only to land in a different one or off the platform entirely.
It just occurred to me that this was (or had to be) multiplayer. There were way too many beats hitting at the same time as holds for that not to be the case.
every level is singleplayer unless the heartbeat rows are indicated in Red and Blue (differentiates between P1 and P2), it is revealed later in the game that every heartbeat auto hits while a hold is happening! you only need to press all the other beats again once you release the hold
I bet Edgea bought the story skip item. Rare is the sprout that makes it to post-ShB playing normally. 😂 On side note, I just unlocked this dungeon last week (I am a Returner). Better check a dungeon guide beforehand lest the same fate befalls me. 😂🤣
It's called Rhythm Doctor. It's a one-button rhythm game you can nab on Steam. (This is also a custom map; the normal game has significantly less special effects outside the boss songs.)

Or the dragoon not evading the AOEs and getting downed or even killing the boss before the limit break hits xD
as a Scholar, it's always embarassing when I do this and it turns out I was, in fact, not out of the AOE at all
I cannot get over how cute the little animation of the DRK spamming Unleash instead of having a walkcycle is.
One shame about the recorded run being perfect is that it doesn't show off the miss or partial-miss animations, because I'm especially happy with them: i.imgur.com/NXRJ6Q2.gif
as someone who only watched their sister play ffxiv like, 3 times, i can say i have no damn idea what a DRK is
@@zboy1775 DRK is the abbreviation for Dark Knight, the greatsword-wielding tank class in ffxiv
@Vynette thanks for telling me!
@@_kamayanaluckily, I am very familiar with the failure animations
As someone who has never played Rhythm Doctor I am losing my mind trying to figure out how this game is played lmao
i think you press the buttons to the beat when its in the yellow, the green is there so you know what speed its gonna be and u gotta time it right
It’s a one-button rhythm game, so you hit the spacebar/clap or whatever button on the seventh beats of the individual lines. “X”s are quiet

press space on the 7th beat, except for when you don't.
Plot twist: Edega knows how to play ffxiv and plays the game regularly on his free time …. He’s just purposely screwing up to punish Ian

Notice how scholar slow raises dragoon every time he dies lol.
He swiftcasts the first one! Not any of the times after that though, lol
As a fan of both ffxiv and rhythm doctor, the amount of effort and love put into this level is absolutely incredible. Well done, just amazing

That was cole, not the samurai

OMG, MY SIDES, SPLIT.
I was just showing this masterpiece to a friend and then I noticed what's going on in the background around 1:44
DED, 100%
I really like how after wipe on the last boss you had the DPS and Ian do a buff applying thing.
As a Healer myself (WHM) I rather feel for that SCH for several reasons...
But this looks amazing for the fact it's 14 themed and even replicates gameplay to a degree, a great play and kudos for the devs to allow this kinda thing.
I have no idea what's happening here but I can't get this version of the song out of my head.
I loved this! You really captured the spirit of the dungeon and feeling of a party! Would love to see more :)
Anyone else pay attention to the fact by about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the way through the video, the guy who is "dressed" as a dragoon was knocked out twice...

so funny how u let the dragoon get hit
Seems legit hahaha
That is AWESOME!! I don't even play the game but i was jamming! Well done!
As someone who plays both Rhythm Doctor and FFXIV, this was really good! Well done man
I see Rhythm Doctor is capable of a whole lot more than it was the last time I played it O.o
As a SCH, i feel this one's pain. once i got into a level 50 dungeon with a GLA. not a PLD, a GLA. I had to Swiftcast SO MANY resurrections
I've been waiting for this song to pop up on the mod scene somewhere. But I guess I need to go to the discord now, something I've held back against for some time! D: Anywho, time to finally play this song.
This is severly underrated.
god DAMN this is badass
dragoon gets hit by every aoe, accurate.
Not for a couple of expansion. Floor tank is BLM now
I REALLY need Theatrhythm Final Fantasy XIV edition now that Endwalker is out. Please Santa.....
It's as shame because the arcade cabinet stops at Stormblood before it got axed iirc.
Way too much effort was put into this, I am in awe
The friggin SAM LB that gets canceled because the boss dies. That's how u know the person who made this plays FF14 lol.
This is perfect in every way oh my god
Ahh. I see. Edgea is jumping straight into the rabbit hole.
Poor unfortunate soul. Oh well, she better study them savage mechanics
Did you seriously just refer to Doctor Gabriel Edega as a _woman?_
@@Risuchan25it takes a real man to be a single mother :)
saving this video for the timing of the lyrics. Also, 1:40
This is brilliant and adorable!
i adore everything about this
Edega being dragoon was plot twist of the century
Richard uses : suicide nat 20!
This is probably one of my favortie FF14 songs, even though I don't even play the game. I actually first heard it playing Theatrhythm Final Bar Line on Switch, and it's such a great song, I even managed to clear it on Supreme difficulty. Didn't do well, but I cleared it.
Anyway, amazing level! I wouldn't be able to clear this one either probably, but it's super well done with all the custom sprites and mechanics!
this is genuinely amazing
I crave more of these
my dragoon brother doing his duty.
Richard be the kind of guy to forget to commend someone
Either that or he'd be too egotistical to commend someone
I fear no song
But, that chart,
It scares me
This makes me wanna play the game so bad!
This made me want to try out rhythm doctor
even DRG here keeps dying and jumping away lmao
Great video! Loved it to bits!
That lancer Getting thwacked by almost all mechanics >:V
I love the samurai using the dj skin
this got me into ffxiv lol....
I never saw Edega being a gamer coming. huh.
That's so neat. Will you upload it to auburnsummer ?
It's there! It's still waiting for peer-review, though you can get it right now by showing unapproved levels.
The Dragoon just havin the time of his life as someone truckin threw currently as a dragoonI would say 1/3rd of the way threw stormblood I have fully embraced people seeing me die as dragoon now I just go into each dungeon to have an absolute blast of a time no matter how many times I die to mechanics or backflipping off platforms to get away from an AOE only to land in a different one or off the platform entirely.
I love how the Samurai triggered limit break but then the Dragoon just killed the boss with a little poke anyway.
Alright make this tower of Zot and replace the Dragoon with a Reaper and bam.

Can't belive the sch hasn't used his rescue once smh 😔
That is beautiful
It looked so official
yooo the president games really hard 🔥🔥🔥
Wait this went hard holy shit
Welcome to The Twinning. There is only one rule here: Turn up the BGM and all other audio down
yo it's the Pinball Greg tweet
This seems like hell to play and I love it
"Edwgmrmgf Mgwrmgyl" is the president's name
1:16 best part

200th time watching this (for almost a year)
2 of my favourite games!

Haven't heard the name rhythm doctor in a good while
HOW DID YOU PLAY THIS MASTERPIECE??? That looks impossibleeee
YOOOOOO THIS MAP LOOKS SO SICK OMFGGGG
This is awesome!
sam didn't get his lb to connect lmao
Looks like no one in the party noticed the DRG is a bot
-Imagine this but with every single character in RD-
Hit 7th beat
Oneshot:hit at 2nd beat
Hold:each is 2 beat and hold till 7th to 8th beat
Fastshot:goes fast not on x
Get set one:from muse dash hit 2nd beat
Get set two: hit 2nd and 3rd beat
Vroooom! :hit space on 2 3 4 5 7 beat
I always wonder how these custom levels are made because they look like it’s an animation instead
i know its twinning, but wtf is this cool looking game? i never heard of it before
It's called Rhythm Doctor. It's a one-button rhythm game you can nab on Steam. (This is also a custom map; the normal game has significantly less special effects outside the boss songs.)
So, its DRG.
the funny part is the gameplay is not far off for a ff14 bossfight Lol.
Tonk tonk! Hit 2
Tonk! Hit 1
why does the girl with the sword look like she is enjoying stabbing the ground? lol
you should do exponential entropy next
This is to well done
soooo awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
This is mega Cool xD
dragoon representation
finally..
Awesome 10/10
did edega just kill steal >.>
Dark Knight spamming AOE lol
That "Floor Tank" with the spear takes everything in the face. LOL
