She also mentioned that she has alts watching to make sure I'm doing my job correctly. There were no thank you's (or I dont remember any words of appreciation afterwards), just a quick gil exchange, and she never contacted me again after that. Best of luck to her, I guess?

People’s instinct is to save LB for the boss because it’s a more threatening enemy. Sometimes it’s useful if you’re trying to finish the boss before it can cast a certain attack, but if it’s a regular dungeon then your focus is usually on clearing as fast as possible. If you’re trying to clear fast, then using the caster LB on a large trash pull is definitely better than saving it for boss.

Hey new player here I started around January 2024. My first interactions with the night club scene came through my FC. At that point I was around SB MSQ and I found the first visits really fascinating. It’s like a whole sub culture of the game. We have some DJs in our FC so whenever I had some downtime I started joining for their sets. At this point I would like to add that imo being part of an established community and having certain dark arts definitely helps the experience. People usually chat in private Alliance Partys as to not cludder up the say chat or chat through the DJs twitch chat. From what I can tell night party’s are a great way for people who have no content to do to still spend time in game with friends and I personally never felt that it takes something away from new players like myself it’s more like something else to do when you want a change of pace. There are also a lot of people who play the game only for those things so I’m not sure culling that scene would be in SEs best interest.

There is exactly one scenario in which saving the lb for a boss makes more sense and that is if you somehow only have melee dps in the party

YPYT is valid when a DPS pulls the boss while a sprout is still watching the cutscene. Change my mind.

So, funny story about Popoto Artist. I joined one of her streams, entered a lottery because "Lmao why not." and ended up winning an artpiece. What I got looked nothing like my character that I submitted a screenshot of. I played a Miqo with a cat-eyes mod for more defined catlike pupils, and more pronounced fangs. Absolute degenerate, I know, much illegal very banned. I got a vanilla miqo'te that looked almost nothing like my actual character. She isn't even a *good* artist.

People so caught up in doing the normal thing and not veering sometimes makes you forget that games are meant to be fun, mistakes and all and sometimes those mistakes end up being wonderful new tactical tech lol

I may regret this because some of the people involved are still in the RP/nightclubs scene but here goes! Back when my friends and I were running a small cozy venue together there was a group trying to become the biggest nightclub/RP scene in Light, we decided to join their discord because they let other venues shout themselves out and we wanted more eyes on our venue. (Plus other venues we were familiar with at the time had also joined.) However soon it became obvious the vibe was not what we wanted, they started requiring a social contract of sorts (Full on PDF) to be signed if venues wanted to stay in their community. And we heard from others that they would push their own staff (mainly security) on other venues, no idea why but it wasn't what we wanted nor needed so we decided to leave. Oh and we also witnessed them rigging a glam contest in favor of one of their staff winning, the vote system had more votes than there was people in the venue itself and it just feels icky for your staff to win this kind of thing?! 🤨

I never thought id be recommended a video on youtube by the giant fish I always see in limsa

I was tanking a dungeon once, where both DPS was obviously new, while I and the healer obviously had experience. We were in the Sunken Temple of Qarn, first boss. One of the DPS dies midway through the fight to doom, and the healer towards the end. After the boss, we wait around for the dead to return, but while waiting, the DPS that didn't die got curious and walked ahead to see what was next. He mistakenly pulls the next pack, which I then pick up and start kiting back towards the healer and running DPS. I know we don't quite have the damage to deal with the Bee one shot, so I figure getting everyone together asap would be the best call. To my surprise though, the healer just stops, stares and waits for me to die, after which they condescendingly spews bullshit like "That's what you get for pulling without a healer." I don't remember the exact words, but it was some absolute chimpanzee level of condescending stupidity.

I'm only 20 minutes in, but hearing "stop shoving your ERP in everyone's faces" is a breath of air so fresh it feels like escaping a cave I've been trapped in for a month. I am very tired of the perpetually horny playerbase and it's just nice to hear someone else say it.

the fact that you didn't just buy into reddit hate towards popoto and criticize her for things she actually did earned you a good bit of respect from me

Because I am a Lalafell and a bit of a troll, I went to a strip club looking for work because I thought it'd be funny to try to upstage and prank the other dancers. They made me the receptionist/secretary instead and I actually had a lot of fun roleplaying as basically Janine from Ghostbusters but slightly friendlier and gave people life advice, everyone always telling me how cute my geeky haircut and my big grandma glasses were. I became the single most popular staff member, to the point that I won a popularity poll as a write-in, which is coincidentally when I was "laid off" (the tips that "should" go to the dancers were going to me instead, mission failed successfully lmao). Not all Lalas are like... THAT, most of us are actually just memeing and are the chillest players you'll meet. I make it very plain and explicit to people my Lalafell is an adult and I don't do weird kiddy shit. I feel like a lot of the anti-Lala stuff is projection from the kinda weirdos who roleplay as NPCs in identical shitty clubs. Ironically I find that the more "normal" the race is the more likely the player is to be a weirdo: catboys and catgirls are usually the biggest weirdos followed by humans and lizards, just people who want to pretend to be... Influencers, I guess? Attractive and rich? Which yeah nah, none of that is in the spirit of RP. RP is about... CHARACTER, about PLAYING a character, so I'm glad to hear someone talk about how bizarre it is that the clubs are all the same. What is even the point. The food and drink menus are especially weird, I guess you can mod food items to be different? It doesn't matter, it's not roleplaying it's just... I don't even know what.

I never forget this nice run i had with other 3 fem Au ra players (im a male Raen myself) in Aurum Vale, we wiped like twice but they were super patient and understanding as i was still figuring out my role as a healer.

That has stuck with me. Fast forward a few months and im already at Post-EW MSQ with almost all my healers up to 90. I believe that little gentle but stern nudges to help others get on the right track are the lifeblood of FF14's multiplayer interaction. I have made sure to give pointers and advice to any newer players who seem lost or ask for them since then, because i feel i have to share in on the kindness. We could all do with more of it

We both smiled at it, wished them good luck, and I more or less forgot about it. Next day, said friend mentions that the person had gotten banned. Not because of that counting down, people were cheering them on and everyone congratulated them when they managed to do it. It was actually because afterward, they decided to countdown from 10,000 and, after everyone said not to because it was annoying as hell, they got banned for spamming. Then, when they got back, they complained about how people just hated them and it was targeted bullying and blah blah. There’s no real moral here, I’m just annoyed that what was an interesting past time for someone turned into a shit show because they decided to be annoying. Edit; This was Goblin, btw

it took me a long time to figure out that the limit break was shared among everyone. noone explained it to me and if the game told me i must have missed it but it took me watching videos on youtube for someone to say it in a video. i felt bad but then some comments people made, started to make sense.

What is most bizzare to me that I heard a lot about ERP and other "adult content" in FF14 way before I started to play the game. So if you are a newcomer who checking for a new "critically acclaimed MMORPG" to play you almost definetely will be stumbling on this stuff. In fact this was one of the reason that I started to play as Lalafell. Now 400+ hours in and I must say that "potato deterrent" works amazing - not a single creep hits on me, only headpats and lalaparades.

I've been playing a lala since 2013 and I 100% agree. People don't understand that being a lala you're either a creep or trying to get away from said creeps. I don't use mods I just enjoy the race!

the YPYT people probably just played back in 2.0 when aggro was significantly harder to hold than it is now. so they probably are just traumatized from tanking back then or something. who knows?

Yeah, I changed to Lala when I realized that people will leave you alone with the club stuff if you are a Lala. Works for me

I saw you hanging around in Limsa, Anchovy. My yellow bunny lala friend slapped you and you sat on 'em.

I watched this whole thing, and stopped hyperventilating long enough to write this comment. It kind of demystifies our resident cryptid, but I'm glad to have found your channel. Your editing is top notch, and you appear to be a fellow Finn. My friend pointed out I was actually briefly featured in the video at 56:14. Truly this is my 15 minutes of fame. When you brought up Raz: I stood up in my seat and started ranting at my friend about him. I never went to check out Popotos stream, but know of them.

If you want a wholesome experience, go to the clubs where they have bards play music in game instead of DJs. Ive never seen any ERPers at those venues. Genuinely good vibes.

The tantrum tanks are too funny, man. I once had a dps pull the very first pack of the dungeon. The tank wrote a paragraph, then immediately left. The replacement tank was so confused when they saw that we were still at the beginning.

Watching this makes me feel like Materia is some sort of sanctuary, like Valinor shielded from the evils and corruption of Middle-Earth. Like a child-proof cap on medicine versus a meth pipe lying around on a kitchen table. Like a soft fluffy blanket of comfort versus a BDSM dungeon. Like the old Internet versus what happened after AOL and Canter&Siegel.

15:07 was this fashion show with mods? maybe thats what we arent seeing?

As an immersive RPer in FFXIV, thank you for calling out the nightclubs. I've had some people suggest I take my "I'm going to get a warm meal after a long day adventuring" character to Second Life Mk.2 Electric Boogaloo. No. Heck no. The way I often put it is " is not going to know what an iPhone is, so why are they acting like they have one? No. Thank. You. (PS: I also hate eRP with a burning passion, let me just play my character without having to think about below the belt, thank you.)

Ahh the LB debate, remember when saving it for boss did matter but now a days doesn't even matter anymore, just burn it whenever seems to be the rule of thumb. Well accept for tank and healer, they don't ever get to use it unless it's an extreme case.

As a Light DC bench/erp/nightclub FC survivor, as i was invited to one of those as a sprout who didn’t know any better, I appreciate this video. It sums up pretty much all my thoughts as to why I avoid anyone who takes rp/the game in general waaay too seriously :’)

I once got yelled at for saying tank stance when the tank had forgotten it. The amount of unhinged players is scary.

This seems like a pretty accurate reproduction of real life night clubs (afking while dancing mindlessly and not talking to people, terrible music, there's a catgirl)

friend of mine sent me this. used to be a worker for that streamer at 4:47's club(I was getting paid like 450k gil a week for just having the game open in an alt tab on saturdays and vaguely correcting some minor behaviors, so sue me) Aemilia Satella, owner of Eluded Ecstasy. Things seemed to be fine, with us being a primarily FC owned venue... then all of the mods for the FC discord left after they realized she was a horrible person. and then we all went with her. Those of us who left truly are thriving as a normal, sane FC now. and just to get it off my chest, Aem is very much not a good person. For over a year, she was gaslighting me on why some certain people left the FC... particularly people who were influential to my growth in the game and as a person.

great video pace and editing!!

popoto artists is a grey parser in reality which makes your joke even funnier

I don't care what anyone says, but after dealing with it for the better part of 2 years I'll just say that the NA modding/clubbing/rp scene spawns some of the absolute worst people in the world. Very few redeemable characters, especially club owners. They do some pretty scummy shit. And limsa is where all the people who did not graduate high school mentally congregate. If you're a new player seeing this, do yourself a favor and keep your distance. Nothing good will come from dabbling here.

Is probably the most random ff14 vid I ever see. Good vid

How did YT not recommend me this video earlier? This video is one of the few videos without rose tinted glasses.

Just found your channel randomly and holy s*** I love your video. You definitely need more Subscribers for this masterpiece.

This is like looking into the void. I just want to farm tomestones for God's sake!

I always wait for the ninja to do the prepull with hide before pulling a boss, and it's really irritating for both the ninja and the tank when the other dps just pulls the boss.

I can’t with the nightclubs ads. However, I did have ONE fun moment.

Someone should do a nightclub confessionals video. I'd have so much dirt to throw, and I'm sure other people would too.

Omg. I met one of these Tanks. Except he just absolutely refused to tank altogether. I remember everything. I was doing my roulettes as a NIN during SB. It was Shisui. I get in say my greeting and my response from one of my teamates? "Welcome to hell." Tank kept making excuses. He didnt know how to play his class, he was tired etc. We couldn't kick him. He was the party lead. We made it past the second boss before calling it and just leaving. I had to use Shadewalker every pull (when it existed) on the tank just to get him to do his damn job. And I had to use Smokescreen every pull just to keep the healer alive. I actually became a main tank shortly after that bullcrap.

the paid erp thing is so crazy, like they're doing actual real life chat sex for IN GAME CURRENCY????

I actually was staff at the billboard nightclub, from its opening to its close! Yeah, there's a lot of club drama around, especially with bigger clubs like that. I found it's nice to just be a bartender so i can actually roleplay instead of afk dancing all night, but I guess some people just like using clubs as more of a quiet hangout to do whatever else in another tab. Still, it was easy gil, made on average 1.5m gil per night and that funded my omnicrafter grind. There's definitely a bloat on afk dance clubs now though. So many options to go do the same thing with people who act the same, with all the juicy gossip stuff happening among staff between club discords. Also, Ragna the Bloodedge is based, Blazblue is a 10/10 fighting game and I refuse to tolerate slander!

Anyone who says LB should be used on the boss in a dungeon doesn't understand how AoE skills work in FFXIV. A ranged or caster absolutely should use the LB on a big trash pull. Since you can only get LB2 in a dungeon, melee's single target LB doesn't really do that much more damage than just doing your rotation correctly. There is no enrage timer in dungeons, so the 2 or 3 seconds you'll save by LBing the boss is basically pointless. Ranged LB damage, on the other hand, doesn't fall off after the first target like the vast majority of AoE skills, so the gap between LB damage and rotation damage is significantly higher than for melee LB, and only increases the more mobs it hits. LBing trash will 100% make life easier for your tank and healer and will significantly reduce the amount of time you spend on the trash.

@@aerophage Honestly... aside from just using an additional cd, I dont care for optimal rotations in a dungeon XD I always get iffy when some tank or healer in Porta decumanum yells "LB!" before the first transition.

What? An Lomisan Anchovy can speak all along!?!?!?! Great video BTW has blast watching it -Angel Lightspeed

the only time i don't take aggro when i'm the tank is when someone pulls boss aggro while someone else is in Cutscene, otherwise i always take aggro right away. and even then i take the aggro back instantly when the other person is out of Cutscene. when i play tank i actually like it when a dps pulls extra mobs that i missed when it makes sense... makes everything go faster.

For the whole YPYT thing, as a Paladin main the whole getting angry about others pulling mobs is just weird to me. Personally I’d prefer if people let me pull as it’s easier imo, just from lots of prior experiences of having dps pull stuff when I’m not close, then just running around while I try to grab the mobs before they die. If they pull but then just drag em to me, then sure, I’d prefer if I did it but it’s not that big of a deal. Just prior experiences make me wary of it, so it’s one less worry on my mind.

Popoto Artist put out a video titled "Random Redpill Wierdo Doesnt like my Stream" and it's about you

to be fair, if you are properly wall to walling then as the DPS you do actually make it much harder, sometimes impossible, by pulling / attacking before the pull is finished. a proper wall to wall tank will sprint out of combat for the extra 10 second duration and then use that speed to pull through mob packs taking care to be hit as little as possible. it if important to out distance the mob packs so that you aren't taking damage in transit because the healer can't really heal you without pulling emnity themselves. once the sprint duration is up they will use arms length to futher extend the pull, this works by adding the slow debuff to enemies as they hit the tank allowing them to once again out distance the mob pack. if done properly the tank will arrive at their preplanned stopping point with the entire wall to wall section in tow with *vey* little damage to start with. That being said, if a tank is properly wall-to-walling then they likely aren't being slow on the pull, but i have absolutely had overzealous DPS fuck this up for me and it just slows everything down.

Clubs are fine. I personally don't go to them because my bf and I play FF14 and we'd feel uncomfortable as we see it mostly as people looking for ERP. But taverns, restaurants, cafes...we do love to visit them. We love the bard performances whenever there are some in these locations or even a BLU or DNC performance. The DJs just feel out of experience since its not actually in game.

I'm just glad you didn't shit too much on us DJs. We actually do mix our stuff live and a lot of us are DJs irl. I can't speak for other DJs but i just treat it like any other job. I rock up, I play the music, I get paid, I leave. I don't want the bullshit drama, i just want to vibe out to my tunes. It's also why I don't take 'residencies'. A residency is when a DJ has a regular gig at a club. I try to avoid playing for the same club multiple weeks running because i don't want to be associated with any one club in case shit goes down.
