5 Crucial Things Final Fantasy XIV Doesn’t Tell You 

I decided to try something different with this video as with my new computer I wanted to try and improve my editing, so I would greatly appreciate any feedback about it. Do you like it? Do you think it's a little to much? Also an addition that need to be made that I didn't think about until later(the day after uploading). The damage of limit breaks are based on the party not the individual. Meaning if you have two melee it doesn't matter who uses it. This is also why it's best that if someone has the weakness debuff for them to use it since the damage from the weakness isn't going to effect it. Furthermore, while I didn't directly say it melee lb does more damage than ranged or caster lbs since it's single target.

The biggest thing it doesn’t tell you is that it’s a waifu simulator but that YOU are the waifu

The one thing I'd add for the Enmity section... if you have aggro and are not the tank for the love of all that's good, bring it to the tank. Most people don't seem to learn that lesson. Great video, excellent editing.

FF14 snapshotting has ruined me playing actual action games, my dumbass runs into the damage animation thinking its safe like this game, only to die 💀

This is a really good video for intermediate players, something that is lacking in the content space imo. Lots of beginner and high-end guides and content but little in the way helping novices graduate to intermediate then experts properly.

I had no idea that temperance and asylum worked like that! The edits were clean looking forward to seeing the next video.

its about god damn time someone addressed what Arm's length does in a video. That is a Tank cooldown, and knockback prevention. I hope your video gets a bunch of views, this has been a long time needed. *coughs in 8 years FFXIV vet*

I love how you showed the buff/not-buffed dots, but your not-buffed dot kept rolling crit/dh/crtdh damage haha

DAMN that multiplicative/ addiive for mit and buff is excellent! I had heard about don't stack mits but buff, but now I understand why. Thank you

I had the opposite problem with arms length, I knew about the slow effect, but I didnt know about the knockback nullification. I mean, the part explaining the knockback just looked like flavortext to me and the bright green and yellow parts took my attention!

Fun fact: the Debuff at 2:10 Despair can actually be removed if you use the emote 'Comfort' on the target

Whooaaa excellent video! 😮 Cheers from Sweden!

Wonderful video, keep up the good work!

It was really helpful, thanks a lot for your work!

Ive been playing this game for 3 years and learned several things i never knew amazing lol

While I like this, you missed what is probably one of the most important things that the game doesn't tell you (I'd say more important than LB or Role Actions, though I found the LB section particularly interesting): The difference between an Ability and a Spell and a Weaponskill, and how oGCD (Ability) weaving works vs the GCD. Super important, yet never explained by the game. The difference between Spell and Weaponskill is much less so - Silence can be healed while Pacification I've found no way to - but oGCD weaving is VERY important for mid to high end play.

This was so interesting! I didn’t know most of these. I have noticed snapshotting just from playing the game a lot, but I didn’t know it had a name.

Ha. That first debuff you showed is called misery and is applied to you from gremlins when they use the skill bad mouth. While asuna does not remove this debuff /comfort will. You have to be within 10 yalms of the person you are /comfort for it to work. Also I don't think you can self comfort. Anyways said all that to point out a hidden mechanic you may have unintentionally included in you video of hidden mechanics.

Love video Keep up the great work

interestingly enough there is ONE non-tank class that specifically has a move that generates Enmity, Summoner's Summon Bahamut and Summon Phoenix will specifically increase the Enmity of the primary target when cast. i've actually ripped aggro from my friend a few times during random dungeon pulls with both spells

Those were lovely explanations! I wish more DPS understood that seeing the Danger Dorito is a hint to stop attacking that target or risk getting an up close and personal visit.

Thanks for the tips. I would also add sth to enmity. Applying hots will generate enmity but the healing ticks for generate any, feel free to use it before pulling packs

Thanks for the tip on Arms Length. It's no wonder I can't wall to wall in Stone Vigil. I can't believe I never realized this.

3:42 - My god! That was a SLICK transition!

Snapshotting people in pvp was always a guilty pleasure of mine. I would run RDM put my dot combo on them before they guarded and laugh as they died wondering why they took the full amount of the dot. I may or may not be a bit of a sociopath.

I really like your accent! Great informative content! Keep it up!

So many hours and i didnt know this shit! Very useful, ty! ❤

Something more specific to keep in mind is that some healer shields with negate one another rather than stack. If you play healer you should look up which of yours break which others to make sure if youre stacking mit and shields for a raidwide you dont overwrite your co healers work

I've encountered very high level players who didn't know how to do limit breaks. If I recall correctly, the game never does a pop up for the first time Limit Break becomes available in your very first dungeon, unlike so many of the other systems such as job gauges. You have to manually find the button under general abilities / commands and drag it to your toolbar

I was under the impression that personal mits can be applied after snapshot as long as the damage itself hasn't happened yet, but damage reductions like reprisal, addle, and feint were calc'd when the snapshot actually happens. Never really tested it myself, but I assumed it was the case since iirc that's how shields can work?

I was actually surprised when i didnt see you speak of "party buffs"... ie the stat boosts you get for having each separate role in your party. this is often the reason why you will see 1 of each dps in your 8man party as it can make a real difference in defeating content.

Finally a way to make interject make sense lol

how in my 10k hours of ffxiv did I not know about the limit break gauge being slower with doubled up jobs and such

This is like the few videos where I’ve understood the explanations with numbers… although my head started hurting a teeny bit (yes math literally gives me a headache), it wasn’t as horrible as other explanations.

Umm i didnt know about the enemy cast bar. Do i have to turn that on? Never knew that existed..

Weaving isn't explained, it's kind of one of the main parts of combat and they don't tell you that

i guess gunbreakers involn is probably one of the best lb farming abilitys

When did they add the enmity "ranking" to the UI? The numbers/letter A weren't always there was it?

If only they were *NO* spoilers in this kind of help videos....😢 Still, great video and explanations. 😊

When exactly should an interrupt skills be used?

Esuna removes ALL debuffs if used enough times.

Ff14 has a terrible problem of flexing huge quality of life updates in live letters and patch notes only then NEVER mentioning it again...

445 hours and i finally learned what the A means in a party list. 😑

It tells you these things, you just have to R E A D

Funny how you say ffxiv didnt Tell that, but the first thing you do is reading some tooltips in ffxiv. Looks like ffxiv tells that the people. Problem is, most people dont listen

The funny thing is, the game does tell you. People just refuse to read and choose to be trashbags

"Things the game doesn't tell you." >starts with Arm's Length >highlights the text where the game EXPLICITLY tells you >highlights the status ailment text where the game EXPLICITLY tells you

Wow. Can you explain this in English this time, please? 😮

I think their implementation of snapshotting is the only part of this game I'd call "trash." It's unintuitive and unnecessary to not simply have the animations "hit" point be right when the snapshot takes place. It would give everyone a clearer picture right when the attack is getting ready to hit too. Right now, you see the orange go away and THEN the enemy starts reeling back for the attack animation, like wtf how is someone supposed to figure that out on their own? Everything else about combat is pretty intuitive, the markers are great, etc., but that is pure garbage and unimmersive to boot.

NoThat Single Player 102 hours to 3109 it's so fake and lie 😅 Also, there is at least 3m videos theu talk about Role abilities, i guess we need one more.
