This fight was wild.

This was a fun and really pretty dungeon to go through. Final boss was very interesting as a FF4 fan.
Final Fantasy XIV
Anabaseios: The Twelfth Circle (aka P12N)
First Clear as DNC
The finale of the Pandaemonium raid series. Music was great, boss design was great, arena looked nice, but the fight itself was not fun at all. There's mechanics that weren't clear and really IMO had no business being in a normal raid. We ended up wiping I think 2 or 3 times at the DPS check mid-fight (these were all cut from the video).
While my experience has improved with more runs (weekly clears and now trying to get the triple triad card), I still think this was a fairly poor fight compared to other ones in the series. Not a good way to finish the raid series.
While I haven't cleared Savage, the final fight there from what I've seen is pretty wild and convoluted. Hopefully that won't take 20+ weeks to clear...

First Clear as DNC
Will light embrace, or Darkness consume?
Por que no los dos?
One wipe early on, but the group figured it out quickly. Yes, you need to listen to the boss and do what he says. With balance will your worry part. Still this broken melody. One last step only leaving, a dead Themis by the sea.

Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle (aka P10N)
First Clear as DNC
Man, this fight was a bit of a wild ride. The group did wipe once, but I cut it out...but there was a moment so good, that it's such a shame to have done so. So...I'll be posting a short clip on my Twitter later. Be sure to follow @SirVG on Twitter to see it when it becomes available.

Just another average day in the life of a FFXIV raider...

Completed Solo as WAR
Took me a while to figure out how to do this right, but I'm glad I managed to get it done before 6.4 hit. P2 was a real puzzle to figure out how to survive some of the mechanics.
Enjoy! *laughs in 16-bit*

Mt. Ordeals (Extreme) (aka Rubicante Extreme)
First Clear as DNC
I was thrown into this by my now former static almost immediately after getting it unlocked with zero prep time. Thankful for the danger dorito.
I did get to learn all the strats to properly place myself for purgations, including how to handle melee uptime (as I cleared the fight on all 5 role types). It was a fun fight.
Final Fantasy XIV
Eden's Gate: Resurrection (aka E1N)
Completed Solo as WAR
Finally it's been done, solo E1N! Made it through the add phase by the hair of my chinny chin chin!
That was the big challenge of the run - beating the DPS check for the add phase. This will definitely get easier with better gear, but glad to have gotten this challenge done!

Time for the new 6.3 dungeon. We're back to Garlemald and off to learn some history of the Reaper job class and the training they undertook! The final boss was a bit of a shock, wasn't expecting him!
Lots of references for those that leveled Reaper. :)

24-man raid into the heavens of earth and ice...with an extra visitor along the way!
I was honestly expecting Nophica to be the final boss, but I guess we got my patron diety, Menphina, instead! Dalamud is SO CUTE though!

Interesting final fight, though all the good stuff really is saved for Savage.
Story is getting wild, especially what happens after this (not in the video). I do like the touch of changing the color of the summoning from white to red since the person's magic being used was different.

Pulled out Klonoa's Wiimake on a whim and while testing some stuff, I managed to beat the WR for Rongo Lango.
Merry Christmas to me, I guess. :D

This was a super fun first fight. Glad though that the mid-fight cutscene isn't in Savage though.

THE EDGE IS CALLING TONIGHT!
This has been like 7 years in the making. Sephirot (Extreme) was my first attempt at doing an "on content extreme kill" but I failed. I finally got my revenge. :)

The Fell Court of Troia
First Clear as WAR w/ Trusts
This dungeon has a really cool atmosphere and that final boss music...as a fan of FFIV, I absolutely LOVED this dungeon (and other things in this patch).
(Also starting with 6.2 content, I did adjust mic/music volume settings, hopefully this will make things a little more balanced. There's still some 6.0 and 6.1 content coming, so that stuff will still have misbalanced audio. Sorry.)

Fight sucked synced, but is quite fun to so solo at 90. It is possible at 80 (others have done it) but I wasn't able to do it myself.
Love the change to the animation for cutting off the tail.

Omega: Deltascape V4.0 (Savage) (aka O4S)
Completed Solo as WAR
This was a fun run to try to solo. It's gotten a bit easier now due to better gear and such, but man, still a rush. Give it a try and get your danger snake mount.
Final Fantasy XIV
Omega: Deltascape V1.0 (Savage) (aka O1S)
Completed Solo as WAR
I tried doing this at 80 and knew it was theoretically possible, but couldn't push the DPS.
And then 90 comes around and the fight is a joke. *shrug*

I had tried to do this at Lv 80 but the adds were just too much at the time. It's definitely considerably easier now at 90.

The Minstrel's Ballad: Endsinger's Aria (aka Endsinger EX aka EX3)
First Clear as DNC
This fight was fairly easy for an EX, outside of the 4 planets mechanic when you got double knockback first. Yuck.
Would have been nice to have the 2nd half music (from normal) at some point. I think this caused it to lose some of the impact compared to the normal or the first 2 EX trials, but what's done is done.
Final Fantasy XIV
The Minstrel's Ballad: Hydaelyn's Call (aka Hydaelyn EX or EX2)
First Clear as DNC
First was the darkness, now it's the light. This was a slightly more challenging fight compared to Zodiark, but was fun to do. Even did some configs involving 2/1/5 parties. Good times.
I never won my mount in a drop, had to buy with 99 totems in 6.2. That's how it goes sometimes.

Alexander: The Heart of the Creator (Savage) (aka A11S)
Completed Solo as WAR
I had made numerous attempts a long time ago when the level cap was 80 to clear. I progressed forward, only to be sent back. Then I'd go forward again, only to go back. I guess I forgot to put one foot forward. Only got to phase 3 like...twice.
At 90 this fight is an absolute joke.
