Seeing the Sights One Last Time - Getting Every Achievement in FFXIV #32 

Fun fact : There's a painter guy at The Hard Place (Adkiragh's place) that will sell you pics of every Sightseeing vista you have unlocked to use in Picture frames for housing. If you unlock all the Pics for an expansion, he also has 'bonus' oil pics too that aint in the sightseeing long. Also also. if you right click an item in his vender list you can bring up a sub menu that allows you to preview what the pic looks like before purchase :)

Oh thank God. I have something to watch while waiting for maintenance to end. Thanks Cider!

no we are not SLEEPING!!!!

ARR sightseeing log has second, hidden part after first 20, with more elaborate riddles to solve. Those vistas only show at right time, weather and place, which makes them hard to find and time consuming. You can ofc follow the guide, but you still need time and/or weather right.

"I just wanna skydive" Oh, Dun Scaith's thataway.

7:30 There is. That's where the Coeulregina boss FATE chain ends.

Zlatan looks like he looked up all the locations.

thank you for absolutely CARRYING the content creation side of this game for the last few months, its been amazing seeing your progress and cant wait to see more! still waiting to see those 9 morbol minions coming in for the RNG buff!

Listening to you talk about zones you're nostalgic about reminded me. There's a defense FATE in North Shroud, at Hyrstmill, where some opo-opos attack sacks of mun-tuy beans. That was the first place I died in my playthrough. I grabbed aggro on all the opo-opos and just wasn't paying attention to my health. As an ACN main, I *had* the tools to solo it, I just hadn't encountered anything that was actually threatening up to that point. Lalachievements score 16,540. I picked up Well-oiled: Amazing Manderville Harp Bow, just had causality to spend. And incidentally got The Customer Is Always Right: Zhloe Aliapoh III. Uneventful, but a little better than my nothing last week.

I love the lochs too! The underwater zones fill me with that thalassophobia but in a good way. And the daytime music makes you so ready to storm the city.

What's the first thing you're going to do in Dawntrail?

7:32 well, there is a world boss spwan there, Coeurlregina. And it's funny that at 13:50 that is a Coeurlgarina weather 😂 Coeurlgaria: "I think someone is talking about me so I decide to show up"

Amazing choice for the day before dawn trail. And including all the OG area music? How nostalgic of you. Love it man, it's these things that make me keep coming back to your videos and recommending them to my friends. Keep it up, angry baby.

It never even occurred to me to take a porter. Every time I had to pray, return to the Waking Sands, I did it on foot.

My man said the video goes live after dawntrail launches, then drops it early for us sorry souls waiting for the last hour. amazing

Thanks for helping kill another 45 minutes off the 2 hours remaining!

I started right before a moogle tomestone event occured, and once it showed up I immediately began grinding for the Magitek Predator mount. It was the first tomestone event where that was available, and I am a huge FFVI fan, so I was very happy to have an easy route to get that.

Perfect video to wait in queue. Love that you left the ambient music for all of these. I started playing in HW so that one was particularly nostalgic ^^

An excellent way to welcome the new Dawn ^.^ The death poles of Kugane and Eulmore bring back memories.

That stupid ship cost me an hour back in the day. I really thought I was missing something before I finally asked an FC member to fly me up, so I could do my Scholar quest. So dumb!

7:25 it is used for fishing. It was kind of a world boss thing... for fishers.

I just want to say seeing this pop up made me happy I cleared sightseeing zone by zone as I cleared the story content. Stay strong cider, stay strong.

My favorite Shadowbringers zone is Il Mheg. Exploring the underwater ruins of Voeburt + listening to "Fierce and Free" = the best questing experience in the expansion.

Central Shroud is my most nostalgic zone. I started in 2.0 as a lancer, but after having difficulty staying alive right away, I wanted to try a healer. I had to buy potions just to survive the level 10 lancer quest, finished it out, switched to conjurer, and I've been a white mage main ever since.

don't know if you mention it in the video but after you unlock the individual sightseeing entries you can buy paintings of each vista from the painter in idyllshire

This has been a great series, though this episode especially was very nice. The last couple months I've had to put XIV down due to moving into a new place and figuring out what kind of budget I need to have and I've really been missing everything about it. As it turns out, Cider and I started playing the game right around the same time in Shadowbringers, so watching these videos gives me a perspective from someone who's experienced the game in the same state I have. Getting an episode where he just runs around the zones of the game that were particularly nostalgic for him actually brought me back to my first hours as well, especially considering I also started in Limsa and spent a ton of time doing ARR Tribals. Anyway, all this was to say, thanks Cider. This one was great.

Man, that Vasper Bay chocobo ride.... core memory unlocked.

YESS i was hoping for a vid before maintenance ending

its very fitting that the last pre-dawntrail achievement vid is looking around the land

Eyyyyyy just in time for the countdown!

Another Fun fact, EW spoilers Ahead That tiny little Island at 22:22 is called 'The Last Remnant' Now Recall WHO it was that built Azys Lla - Amon, and what did he Remember - Elpis - (Azys Lla is basically a twisted version of Elpis) Also Elidibus told us that barely anything of Elpis Survives in the Present day and that we wouldn't recognise it... Now why would Amon have a tiny piece of Rock (call The Last Remnant) held up by a massive support machine, and also be the highest object (and generally the placed 'hight' of an object tends to imply it's importance) that can be seen from anywhere in the zone.... ;)

Big thanks for shouting out the twitch promo, I might have missed it otherwise.

Watching this while in queue, thank you for the upload chief

Watching this during the final hour of the maint, perfect!

thank you for being there for us in the last hour before early access 🙏

I need to thank you from the bottom of my heart, because of you I figured out how to put eyebrows on my highlander

Yumcax and Yggdreants in general were FFXI monsters introduced in the Seekers of Adoulin expansion. Yumcax itself was the Naakual of Earth located in the Yorcia Weald. Yggdreants in FFXI make the XIV version look like a toy for babies.

Thank you for this Video to say goodbye to the old graphics! :)

12:40 The reason they look jumbled up is that there were two sightseeing log drops in HW. So the 6 HW zones are in order, it's just the order is repeated an extra time for the 2nd drop.

I did the arr sightseeing log right after I gained flight back when I first started and over 200 minions later the fledgling apkallu is still my rarest.

A good Idea would've been to give yourself a time-limit per map for exploring before looking it up. But on the other hand you specifically did this to have some chill time. So yea, no complains from me, good work! Some nice sightseeing, enjoying the content. Keep it up!

Spiky ball roof was used to prevent the dragons from landing and shitting on the machinery

Just made some Big Fat Tacos (tm) and now I have something to watch while I eat. JUST OVER AN HOUR LEFT TIL DAWNTRAIL LET'S GOOOOOOO.

Shows you how much I pay attention to the game, but I never realised one of the Crystarium sightseeing log points was called "Rapture", which was the codename for the original city used in the 1.0 trailer. which eventually turned into Limsa, and whose styles were brought back for the Crystarium. Only reason I know this is from Speakers of Hydaelyn and Lukile's fantastic reaction to when he first saw the Crystarium in a trailer.

The reason you see Forelands on different pages is because Vista Points were added in groups in different patches, and they are ordered by when they were added

This one was hilarious! The ladder is my favorite part!

Finished watching this 10 MINUTES before DT Early Access is meant to open. Enjoy everyone! Thanks Cider for all the content!

Oh, skydiving. If there's one thing I miss from my WoW days, it's bubble skydiving as paladin. Also, playing gnome golf off of the entrance to Naxx while waiting for the raid to start.

I'm totally sleeping and not watching this entire video before launch.

7:34 that area is used in the final step of the long live the couerl (couerlregina) fate chain as one of the final boss locations

The first time I learned what the devs can do with map restructuring is a friend taking me to the extrusion atop the Alexander dome before I started that content and realizing they convert a rock into that

At the render distance about the vista orbs: the game determines render distance by camera so it can exclude (occlude) things not in camera. The more you know

Can't wait for the queue lines!

Honestly thought there was gonna be no video for all achievements this week, this is a pleasant surprise

Great video, Cider!

Hell yeah, that Churning Mist night theme is up there on my Zone Themes list

The worst part of the Vesper Bay trek is learning after the fact that you can get there a LOT faster on the ferry from Limsa.

I like to do sightseeing while DPS queueing. Also, sorting emotes by name saved my sanity. Thanks for the laughs during your videos.

THANK YOU for making time pass until we can get to Dawntrailing!

This is what I needed whiling away the hours until Dawntrail launch!

The confusion you're feeling for being sure you've found them somewhere but the game still having one there / not finding it in the log, HW and SB added a second round of sightseeing logs and those appear *after* the initial expac's logs, by number.

Perfect to watch in the last hour before maintenance ends!

Also most sightseeing spots after A Realm Reborn mostly required /lookout, but a few required /pray or something else. Also, I'm surprised you never saw that spot in Sohm Ahl as it's RIGHT IN YOUR FACE AS YOU COMPLETE THE QUEST TO UNLOCK SOHM AHL'S DUNGEON! XD See you in Dawntrail, Cider. ;)

Posted an hour before launch 🙃 gave me something to watch pre release. Love it.

Praise the Cider Spider for giving me something to watch while dealing with Dawntrail login (Savage). May they ever be blessed.

Ul'dah is my nostalgic place even though I didn't start there.. the music there somehow just.. makes me feel.. like a kid playing games again.

Square Enix Added additional sightseeing logs in later during the patch cycle for each expac starting with HW. So the zones will be split in the log.

Using Athena's Tiny Tina shouting voice break as the discovery sound is inspired.

Maintence should be done soon, the hype is REAL! See you on the flipside, you absolute mad lad!

Finding all the new sightseeing points is one my favorite things about exploring a new zone! Except ARR points.... those were hell

watching while waiting for dawntrail wooo

The algorithm is an idiot. So, FOR CIDER SPIDER!

Every time I hear about someone who rode to Vesper Bay from Horizon I die inside wishing they'd have known about the ferry from Limsa that goes straight there

The first video recommended to me whilst in queue, algorithm knows what's up.

i am TREMBAAAL-ing with excitement for dawntrail

The coliseum in the Dravanian Forelands is where the last battle of the Coeurlregina FATE chain takes place

Unfortunately my laptop does not meet the minimum requirements, so my achievement hunting is on temporary hiatus for a few months until I can upgrade my laptop. I've only 100%ed ARR's log because there's a minion you get. I'm glad they added vista markers in Heavensward. I wish they'd add them to ARR's vistas.

Had my sleep already haha got up early this morning had a 4 hour nap and ready to go. The sightseeing logs are pretty easy these days, the arr ones were painful as anything, but now you can fly and drop on the spot most of the time, its just a waiting game. The only 2 I haven't gotten are the Kugane tower ones, I haven't tried that hard to do it though

The one under the broken bridge in the hinterlands I found when I didnt have flight....yeah that was fun to get

thank you for getting me through the last hour good sir o7

Baby goes crazy in forest, looking for orbs.

I'm sleep deprived and READY

Low key I was expecting Vauthry "I see now" when you got a log lol

Just woke up! Thank you for the breakfast entertainment!

I took next week off from the day job so I could mainline Dawntrail; one last shift till I can join for realses. I'm going to try and catch your streams and say 'Hi'

Can't be late of you're early!

Oh, perfect timing. This should tide me over until I'm able to hop into the login queue.

So about the whole "not knowing what emote to use" thing. If you look at your log, it'll actually give you a hint as to which you need to use. For example, at 23:16, one says "I looked out upon the realm in all her glory", while the next says "I allowed myself a moment's doze". If you have 4 left, and 3 of them say "look out", then the one you find where /lookout doesn't work should then in turn work with /doze, since it's the one that matches, as shown at 24:26. Just as a little heads-up to save a bit of time come DT's sightseeing.

Glad I got here before maint ended and I had to risk spoilers in the comments. Can't play for another day and 6ish hours cause I'm playing with my best friend and their work had to call them in on their approved vacation (they at least got a few weeks warning that it couldn't happen and extra days off in recompense). I hope it's a good time everybody.

The logs are out of order because they added more in post patches

Churning Mists #51 (16:03) and Sea of Clouds #27 (26:41) took me *forever* to find legitimately. Like actually multiple hours a day for multiple days. But I did eventually manage all of HW without looking them up. I don't remember if I managed it for any of the other expansions.

Totally agree about the Ala Mhigan quarter. I hope that, when they give us the expansion that unlocks corvos/the rest of ilsabard, the first cityin the xpac is real ala mhigo.

LETS GO! Dawntail and acievements

Perfect content for the login queue

"Pray Return to the Waking Sands"

Just a question on your stream spoiler plans, by weeks are you meaning week 1/2 of official actual release or of time spent since Early Access?

28:32 as you can see here, Cider has lost his mind

In this house we hate The Lochs because that's where the Stethacanthus is. Music slaps tho.

"What in the scam" I'm horking that.

Watching this while waiting for the servers to come online. 😊
