Thanks for watchin' o/ Recorded this while recovering from a cold but I wanted to get it out. Would really appreciate subscribing so we can try to break 500

Hell yeah! 10 months ago I did my very first extreme being ex6 when 6.4 released. Half a year later I have cleared the savage tier and TEA and just recently did UWU. Going for TOP soon with the friends I have made along the way since then. Great video! Really reminded me of what I have learned, achieved and memories created these months. Highly encourage anyone to try. Ultimates are hella fun!

Good luck with TOP, I feel like my braincell has expanded since I did it!

As far as statics are concerned, clear, defined expectations that everyone in the group explicitly agrees to are the secret sauce to not having a group implode into itself. These include the atmosphere that is expected (serious, casual), how people handle mistakes and discussing them, the expected timeframe to complete the fight if any, punctuality, raiding hours, studying, etc. Everyone in the group needs to know all of those and agree to them. If someone starts saying things like "I guess, but..." you should genuinely consider replacing them. A half-hearted agreement is a frustration bomb waiting to happen.

100% agree, this is how I've handled all statics I've had recently, even if its with friends. The expectations are set and we're locked in for actual prog sessions, anyone who let the group down/generally clearly didn't want to be there was replaced for other content. It's rough but its too big of a time investment to not put the rules in place.

Grear video. Especially the mindset section. You ultimately drive your own prog. I started my ultimate experience with tea, as im a gunbreaker main, and tea was also a long term goal from the start since i started playing ff14. After 2 months of prog, i finally got my clear and a few reclears. I moved on to uwu afterwards and got my clear todah in only 18 days. Love how ultimate content pushes you to optimize and show a deep understanding of your role and mechanics, while demanding quick and tight movement. I'm headed to ucob next. Im unsure whether i'll have time to complete it by the time dawn trail comes out, but i'm hoping! once im done with all 3 legacy ultimates, im excited to try dsr as i've heard so many good things about it. I may or may not touch top though since i've heard lots of negatives about it.

You highlighted reasons why I love Ultimates too, just so satisfying on such a deep level to feel that prog kick and then the excitement of hitting the clear! On DSR and TOP; DSR is easily, without a doubt the best fight in the game. So few negatives besides maybe a bit of bloat around eyes phase but that's always going to come with a "solved puzzle" mechanic - but other than that its just such a thrill all the way through. TOP is a hard one to touch on - definitely lots of moment of frustration because it has mechanics where you have to "STAND IN THIS SPOT WITH A TINY MARGIN OF ERROR" like Party Synergy or Monitors that takes a lot of patience to get through, and then phase 5 is an absolute nightmare to prog if you dont use external sims like xivsim (which I highly recommend), at the end though I want to complete every Ultimate in the future and had the same mindset before I cleared all the current ones, so it was definitely worth it for me

very nice video, GL on 500

The hardest part for me is finding a group 😅

Would definitely recommend doing UwU in PF to get started if you're struggling to find a group!

Same. Ive been almost 2 years playing i only cleared a few savage and recent extremes.

Started doing UWU after Zeromus ex back in Dec 23'. It was hard, and I struggled with fight (20%) and PF (80%). After playing it inconsistently for like 2 months I started playing it less and less. Stopped at what they say is biggest wall of the fight - Titan Gaols, yea.. So why am I writing this, just to say thank you. You reignited something inside me and I'm going to continue my journey to beat Ultima and get that damn blue shiny. It will be hard, I will die a lot but I'm gonna get it. As for the other ulti, honestly - not sure, but we'll see :) Sorry for long ramblings lol Cheers ryai and keep those videos coming (enjoyed your uwu weap tier list btw)

I'm glad you're going to get back into it, it'll be worth it trust me. Titan Goals is definitely one of the biggest walls in UWU to get past, what I'd recommend is STUDYING HARD for Ultimate, learn Predation and Annihilation and then just join a predation party if you're confident you can do gaols most of the time. It was the only way I could get past parties that would wipe before/on gaols consistently.

@@ryaiart Thanks for the advice! I'm gonna try this out, I enjoy learning these fights like big puzzles, it's just people that sometimes make things hard haha, but it's ok.

100% agree, pf is honeslty not that bad, well at least for ucob which is the one im doing rn. Literally anyone can do it, just need effort, time and the right mentality ! The hardest part is waiting for a party in pf for 1 hour then disbanding 30 min later LOL

Thanks man

I love that your video has dark cloud 2 music

Can't wait for the automaker ban hammer tbh

I wish the JP datacenter wasn't pretty much dead right now, there are barely any ultimate groups. I'm tempted to make an alt in US.

@@ryaiart I see what you mean, there are quite a few groups for DSR but I'm progging TEA with a static and I wanted to also prog more in PF for fun (and to clear faster by dumping time). We have like 3 TEA PFs on peak hours on weekends... I've sat on the same party waiting for 12 hours waiting to fill without any luck... But anyways maybe after the next Savage tier is on another lull and before everyone quits waiting for patch lol.

I met you in that 1 week mark

i cleared uwu not too long ago after 3 months of prog. hearing ppl actually clear that fight within as little as 1 week kinda proves to me that other people are just made of different stuff. saying everyone can clear ultimates is less nuanced a take than not everyone can clear ultimates imo. Knowing how much of a jump dsr and top are from uwu, and knowing that uwu allready got me to my limits tells me that i wont be able to do those fights at any point. I like the positive message in this video, encouraging people to go for what they want, but i ultimately disagree

some players tend to put ultimates on a pedestal when they are really not that bad if you're doing them using guides and not blind. the hardest thing about ultimates is finding people to play with and investing time into clearing(these raids can take up to 20 minutes). dps checks are easy and shouldn't be an issue nowdays if you're pressing buttons, all mechanics give you enough time to react to them, mits and heals have spreadsheets nowadays for the 5 current ultimate's. my message to all the players who want to get into ultimates but are anxious is, don't be afraid to go to pf, when you are in a practice pf no one is going to get mad if you fuck up. people fuck up on reclears regularly and no one says shit most of the time so go fuck up until you get the clear.

Lol I've been ruining ultimates since last year and I still can't find a static but at least pf got me triple legend

ah nice someone else who feels that once you learn TEA its a bit less annoying upfront, just from how scripted it is haha the amount of wipes to ppl asleep at the wheel in cob is just......

I love cob but holy moly if you get a party that cant get to/past heavensfall consistently it definitely is rough. TEA, for a similar thing (as you're well aware) becomes such smooth sailing if everyone can do wormhole so after LL/BJCC it just feels a lot more chill
