The 6.2 patch trailer was probably one of my favorite things to watch over and over again when it came out. It's amazing how they made Buried Memory a combination of both old (FFIV Battle Theme) and later new (FFXIV Scream). I remember a lot of people were hyped to see one of the 4 archfiends in action (which ended up being more amazing since we actually ended up fighting two of them in this patch alone). The mechanics introduced in Barbariccia fight was great. Let's not forget that this was the patch where Zero was introduced, with a name that may or may not be a potential red herring especially if you've played FFIV. 1:52:45 Neat, we actually get to hear the finished version of this now. Thanks Pint! He should definitely put all of his music in spotify if he hasn't already.
The music in the Fell Court of Troia is a melancholic version of the piece 'Troian Beauty' from FF4 Troia castle was the home of the earth crystal in FF4. In FF14 you fight the fiend of earth/rot here.
Absolutely in my top 5 trials Not only is it because I’m weak for bad bitches and her voice is glorious, but because as a wind boss should be, her mechanics aren’t “hard” hard (depending on the person and who you ask of course) but they’re fast and they’re constantly coming at you Day 1 for story was awesome and then day 1 extreme learning was some of the most fun I’ve ever had with hard content
The benefit (I assume) of cosplaying XIV is that you don't have to actually pick a character, you can just pick a full set or other glam you like and do that. RDM Lv70 job gear, for example 👀 The problem with the 13th isn't that they're Darkness and Light Good, it's that they're living in a kill-or-be-killed world where only the strong get to thrive. Everyone else lives in fear! It _could_ turn into a conquest, yeah, but I trust Alphie to navigate that minefield if it comes to it :D
We gotta all keep telling square to make more of these fast dodgy fights. The hard to figure out ones are cool but the game could use more of this type.
my favourite thing about that trial is that non-casters always say 'oh no this must be HELL for casters' and then every caster ever goes "fuck YES that was the best trial to ever happen to me!"
Barb is by far the most fun Extreme to play in the entirety of FF14, in my opinion. I progged and farmed it on Samurai and it just felt so fun to get good at it, so fast paced, I wish more fights moved at this speed where it's really just relatively simple mechanics at high speed, rather than complicated mechanics moving slowly. I didn't enjoy the extreme trial that comes after this nearly as much and infact I don't think I bothered to clear it, since I preferred focusing on P8S.
my favorite will always remain the seat of sacrifice because of its importance epicness not to speak of how the theme for it was made and how epic it was
