great questions! i made a supplemental video to help visualize these answers: ruclips.net/video/X5-WrGl-l0I/видео.html - main tank has enough time to go to the opposite side to grab the opposite sad/angry debuff (if needed) since the boss's position is locked during the cast - for the doom look away mechanic, main tank can stop attacking (even stop auto attacks) and look away momentarily in order to avoid the doom debuff - if main tank gets doom debuff, definitely prioritize cleansing via glowy floor and then immediately reposition so people don't get hit with tankbuster - for the tether circle, they can walk backwards out of the circle (maintaining orientation of boss) OR if you understand how the mechanic works, you can count how many people are in the circle and stay if ppl won't get hit (details in the video)

@@vaheeeezy everyone, this is my #1 dark knight emo raiding friend being a bit sassy. don't mind him. 👻

what nose thing? and what are your additional questions for a standing desk?

@@ghostguideffxiv I may have misheard, there were F1 cars racing outside my balcony. As to the desk: having raised it, and then got a bar stool, is the plan to raise it further so you stand on the bar stool? And do you have 9 foot ceilings because I think it's important to plan ahead.

Okay, I listened to the intro bit again and I was laboring under multiple misapprehensions. Like when you said you got retainers i thought you meant the lil helpers that go on ventures, mostly because I am quite dim, but also because I grew up in Britain and retainers are called braces (the teeth ones, not the helpers). Plus we don't really straighten teeth, we prefer the explosion in a graveyard chic. Like I had mine rebuilt a few years ago at a dental school and all the students came in to be amazed. Er. And apparently when you were explaining about learning to speak again I somehow assumed you'd had some kinda procedure on your nose. Uhm. Reading this now, I understand it doesn't make much sense, but hey, the algorithm doesn't judge on whether comments make sense, it's just concerned about engagement.

@@TheGameKat lolol that escalated. but no, i do not plan to stand on the bar stool. before i got my desk set up, i was sitting at the kitchen counter (on a barstool) for awhile. once i set up my desk, i noticed i was more comfortable at the kitchen counter than at my desk and the main difference was the height and chairs i was using. so i raised my desk and brought my kitchen barstool to my desk and noticed i liked that configuration better. so now i use my roommate's barstool while at the kitchen counter. and when we are both eating, one of us ends up standing. it's become a small situation, but overall my desk is great!

@@TheGameKat lolololol. sometimes my voice does sound a bit nasally when i have to switch my invisalign trays so i thought maybe you were referencing that, but i wasn't sure. xD

@@TheGameKat i think i did google something in this one xD

or maybe it was the previous one where i needed to know the rotation of the sun and moon for color purposes. it's truly all a blur. 😅

@@ghostguideffxiv :) It's honestly very affirming to watch a content creator who completely understands the "need to know. NOW!" phenomenon.

there's been conversation in the ffxiv community about the increase in difficulty in Dawntrail fights so this video was made with those people in mind. there may be many reasons why people need help with solo instances: - someone might have a hard time with reading comprehension (dyslexia, comprehension deficit, language disorder, etc) so having someone explain out loud what the tooltips say can be helpful. - some people might get overstimulated with all the visual effects in the fight and need someone to point out what specific tells to look out for in certain mechs. - some people might have a hard time seeing different colors and so having someone point out out the different shapes in conjunction to the colors can be helpful so they know what to expect. - some people might just want to get through MSQ so they're happy being carried through dungeons/trials while accepting they don't know how to fight, but then can't manage the solo instances by themselves so they need a bit of help knowing what buttons to hit so yeah, it might not be hard for you to read the 4 tooltips, but for some people, for their own reasons, those 4 tooltips might be what's hard for them. everyone is different and there's no way to really know what's up until you ask them, so thank you for asking. fun fact: did you know that the earliest typewriters were created for people with visual impairments? and then of course eventually those typewriters inspired the creation of electronic keyboards. sometimes people make things to help specific people and eventually other people can find use for the thing too.

I needed this tutorial, desperately. I wish this had been around when I was going through the MSQ. I read the tooltips but I guess I just missed that one of the moves was AOE. I didn't understand that the tell about resolve was telling you that the Limit Break gauge was filling. I thought it was telling you to use the combo that ends with healing. I don't have any diagnosed learning disabilities but I just think differently about things than your average person. It hasn't really effected me in my day to day life but I STRUGGLE with trying to understand how games try to communicate mechanics. I frequently look at guides and think "I would never think of that the way they wanted me to." I had to put this fight on easy because I was just not understanding what they wanted me to do. This is not a complaint about the difficulty spike in Dawntrail. I, personally, am happy about the change. I find that I'm doing more daily roulettes because the dungeons and trials are so fun. I've even done the raids more than once a week because I wanted to go through again after looking at some guides and work on them. Especially the Honey B. Lovely boss. I know she's the one that gets the most complaints but I think she's the most fun.

i agree its literally 1 melee combo 1 AOE combo 1 ranged attack 1 heal/mit its really sad people cant figure that out first time around especially being this far into the game lol

@@ProfessorBuckz objectively, i'm kinda curious what people gain by making comments pointing out how sad it is that people can't accomplish things at the same pace as others. what value do you get? is it just to make conversation? to me, it is sad knowing people are struggling, but that's why i choose to do something about it to help others get the support they need to catch up with others. is it an ego thing? people say things to make themselves feel better than others? or is it just a social connection thing where you wanna find people who agree with your opinions cuz it feels good to connect with others regardless of the content?

thinking about it more, i wonder if this is a situation where people look at guides for higher end content, like Savage or Ultimates, and they see comments from other players who tell them if they need a guide then they must be horrible at the game. and then those players end up going to "easier" content and that behavior trickles down because that's the way they were treated from players who were better than them. kinda reminds me of how kids who had bad parents end up turning into bad parents because that's all they knew and then their kids end up turning into bad parents too. it's very difficult to break generational trauma, yeah.
