imo p8s is harder than half the ultimates out there... EW has ramped up the difficulty on all accounts..

As a retired ultimate raider I can absolutely agree that the majority of the difficulty is around scheduling and persistence. The fights aren't really THAT hard, it's just they're really long. If you beat your head against it long enough it will fall, you just have to find 7 other people willing to hit their head enough times

@Double Cheeseburger The main "difficulty" I'd say comes from the people rather than the fight itself. Making sure the 7 other people are motivated to do it, making sure they're studying the fight, going over the strats, ready to come on time and come consistently. Making sure people are progging at a similar pace and no one person is significantly impacting the progress of the entire group. That 7 other people element really adds the highest difficulty

im gonna be honest most people wont have the same luck as you did. On top of them carrying you through the fight damage wise (but lets be honest damage isnt even a factor anymore in old ultimates), you also had two streamer friends with stacked players who are good. Not everyone is gonna have that luck, but still hopefully for those who continue to pursue for a clear will eventually get it.

My Piece of advice would be that if you want to try Ultimates, definitely, DEFINITELY start with UwU (Also the name is just short for "Ultima Weapon Ultimate" instead of the Duty Name). UwU is a short fight, and has a lot of smaller, fast phases, which makes progressing feel pretty good early on, since you'll hit a lot of big milestones. Difficulty-wise, it is also the closest to Savage.

I felt that part about time crunch. I was doing UCoB back in Shadowbringers and my group got up to the final phase. But there was just one issue. Endwalker was right around the corner.

Congratz my dude... yup Ultimate itll take some time but you will clear it eventually dont give up

My first Ultimate run was before Endwalker in a dead month after 5.5 to 6.0. It was UWU and we bring 2 people that never savage before and with total 8 people (all member) never cleared the fight before (7 people never tasted ultimate) It took us 6 months to actually clear the fight (our first clear was actually AFTER Endwalker released and we need to adjust our rotation to the new one). A lot of things happen, there's a fight, a big fight between close friend. Even I got into a fight myself. But I guess that just what happen when you are on something for a very long time (with slow progress) and facing what seemed like a deadline (Endwalker release) one of our member even left (luckily someone who have cleared are willing to help as a replace). And honestly, that feeling when you actually cleared after all what happen with that very same group is kind of irreplaceable. Fortunately my 2nd ultimate which is TEA only took us 2 months to clear.

I started UCoB through PF on a whim, and got up to the start of phase 3 with purely PF for the longest time. I ended up getting a static for it and we were doing good, but things fell apart before we even ended up hitting phase 3 (we reached ravensbeak on Nael). Felt sour about it for a long while, but when I hop back into XIV on the 1st I'm finally going back to the CoB, with PF more than likely. I WILL get my UCoB.

It was suffering but it also feels nice to carry the uwu stick to trick people into thinking I know how to play blackmage. Anyway congrats!

Ultimates can either be some of the best experience you can have in this game or the worst, all depending on your group. I played with a group I didn't enjoy playing with for DSR and even tho we got the kill, it would have been so much better if I actually enjoyed playing with them. On the contrary, I spent 6 months+ killing ucob with different groups (after it took roughly 30 days for my first one) because I was helping a lots of friends do the fight and it was the most fun I've had in 14 to date.

They aren't difficult tbh, they just take time. Anyone who wants to can clear, just figure out your level of dedication and prog at your own pace.

Yeah. It’s just something to sink your time in… something to work towards until new patches come out. I use to get so stressed out by ultimates. Making a static, clearing as fast as I could and then I get the title wear it for a week and then it loses flavor like old gum and play something else.

My static is currently progging UWU, and I met them just out of sheer luck. They needed an 8th for their group, and I was introduced by someone I had met recently. They asked if I wanted to prog UWU, which has always been a goal of mine, so I agreed. Fast forward to now, we're going strong, and I would consider each member a good friend of mine. Our raid leader is also quite knowledgeable and a very charismatic guy, so he's the glue that kinda keeps us together. For everyone who wants to get started but doesn't know how; just put yourself out there. That's basically what I did, and I've found some friends in the process. Cheers for the video, Kougaon.

Before I got my clear I had 3 5% wipes on golden which was............a time. Also you dodged the exaflare because they move in half circle rotations; you UNKNOWINGLY managed to do what's required for a mid dodge, for a wall dodge because you didn't hesitate - if you hesitated that second explosion would have killed you; the idea for mid dodging is to dodge into the back half of an explosion coming down a lane parallel to you.

Big grats on the clears and a lot of this resonates with me as well and was very well put, but a few more notes: in the difficulty ranking, you put TEA above UCoB. I STRONGLY disagree. As someone who was able to go from BJCC prog to clear in about 2 days of PF, I can say with much confidence TEA is very much a memorization/study fight. The first two phases are by far the hardest in terms of actual mechanical execution and reaction times, while all of phase 3 and 4 are entirely just recognize where to go and then do it according to the strat you’re using. In some points of the fight, especially phase 4, the windows of execution are so wide I would literally pull up the toolbox/diagrams on my phone to check and then do it in game and still made it in time. I think one of the biggest factors of why the community perception is generally TEA>UCoB in terms of difficulty is simply the lack of good/extensive guides and resources for TEA. Additionally, according to XIVcollect, a sizable amount more people have actually cleared tea than cleared UCoB. While this isn’t solely tied to difficulty (more people might’ve cleared tea since they liked the rewards or the fight more) it’s important to remember UCoB has also been in the game much longer and yet still has been cleared significantly less. UCoB is still a challenge no matter how many times you do it simply due to the random variation of every major mechanic, and presents a unique challenge completely absent from the other ults in Nael quotes. While I know that generally people use ahhh goofy 3rd party programs to just call them out, as a console player in PF that wasn’t an option for me and greatly added to the difficulty. Finally, UCoB has the best weapons and that’s on god 🙏

Yeah it’s usually debated on whether TEA or UCOB is harder but for now I just settled upon the opinions of my raider friends but you could be right! Also you’re wrong and just a piss color enjoyer >:(

As a veteran raid leader from both wow and FF, doing ultimate is more about keeping your group from breaking up before the clear than anything else, emotional control and good leadership and relationship with the members is crucial, but with a demanding job and the burden of leadership I'm not going back to ultimate, specially since the rewards keep being only weapons and titles which you can at most with pld use 2 weapons and a title (triple legend) so yeah... Not worth it IMHO

imo WoW was way worse to raidlead in. managing 20 (25, really) people is way, way worse and cliques WILL form even in amazing guilds.

Imo consistent players is the biggest deciding factor whether you can stay long enough as a group for the clear or fall apart midways (or early ways?). A group of players starting to prog the fight but consistent enough to reach the prog point everytime will keep the morale high. But if you throw one inconsistent af player into the group, you will disband in less than a month. Ultimate is very punishing that if one player mess up, most of the time it's a wipe. Repeatedly failing on a mechanic that your group has cleared before feels bad, and you'll end up wasting time without any meaningful progress at all. That said, congratulations on the clear!

Love how your advice is completely different than how you got your clear.

skill 1000% matters but not in the context most would think. for the most part, when forming a group to prog you don't want to have a huge disparity in player skill. people aren't going to enjoy the experience if they are too far ahead or behind. so try to get people who are around the same level (or patient high level players) when scouting for players, logs matter but don't use funny numbers completely. look at who they may be playing with and ask their old raid mates how they vibe. you want to weed out any toxic players. it also helps to see how long they may be playing and what they may already be familiar with

I have both a miqote and a viera so I pretty much identity as a dominant bottom, don't know what you can do with that info but there you go, ggwp

UWU weapons are the best. It's the only one I clear until now. I'm saving up totems for the future weapons that will be added for the other jobs.

Love these stories. I'm a little baby who just got my first Extreme clear and vids like these from all kind of skill level players really encourage me to try harder content!

ill be honest, was a casual player (still am) just leveling all my jobs, then endwalker dropped and i was dragged by a friend to jump into pf to clear and farm the first two extremes that came out at the time, i was super nervous, most difficult thing i did is like warrior of light on normal mode lol but i did it, it was a lot of fun, then couple of weeks later, the new savage tier came out, i decided to give it a go with friends, it went rly well, cleared first, then they disbanded, then cleared second in pf went on to uwu in pf cuz it was rly active, cleared it in 4 days, after that i realized how i was putting ultimates on a higher pedestal than it really is i got my tea clear in pf in only 7 days of raiding, trust me if i did it, u can do it :D

​@@Kenzaii older ultimates are kind of a jokes since you only have to do mechanics and don't have to worry about DPS check so you can play giga safe. In patch one are harder as you have to play good in order to clear, TOP right now have a rough DPS check on some phases but will become a joke once dungeons gear in future patches come out. But ye ucob and uwu are very approachable for a more casual player and there's tons of recourses avaible to tell how to do your roles perfectly

Nice.

I never bothered with ultimates. I just do not consider the rewards worth the effort of learning all the mechs and so on.

Ultimates are for when ya wanna let the game crush your nards constantly. Also, from what I know, they are quite rarely added into the game so there being 2 during the 6.x updates is maybe a first. I dunno though someone can correct me.

I think DSR is pretty hard but other than that the others aren't too bad, still harder than savage tho and a huge accomplishment

Personally I became super burnt out on super high end raiding after completing Tomb of Sargers Mythic in WoW. And yea 100% the time commitment is by far the hardest part, even with only 8 people. Eventually I do want to get an UWU clear in to get a Stardust Rod Ultima for myself, but the challenge is finding a group of 7 people willing to prog with on a consistent basis. 🙁

2:28 Yo, you didn't have to it dirty like that with us PF players, SPECIALLY WHEN I'M LITERALLY RACLAW KENGI LOOKING FOR A TEAM THERE

Louis keeps getting shot, at least he's got echo

whoever PF only all 4 raids is really a Gigachad because with no call out that man has a brain IQ of 100, a plus 100 if he is on console (that means 0 addons)

Agreed, ult is a content for social, make friends and waste time together for funs, progressing with pubs is just a nightmare because u never find someting to discuss with and sharing feels.

I originally thought of joining a static for ultimate was for making friends too, after clearing 3 of the ultimate, I began to think of raid team more as coworkers instead of friends. We clear, but its not the same type of group dynamic I was expecting. It is what it is.
