I Went Back to Wondrous Tales...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- Since I can't do Mentor Roulette right now, I decided to dedicate some time to Wondrous Tales again instead. Now that Dawntrail came and raised the level cap, I have a ton of leveling to do anyways. And not a week goes by in Final Fantasy XIV without me getting scammed.

The Wondrous Tails really are the perfect example of how to buuld up hope before crushing it at the last second
Twice now I've had a perfect 3 line set up, only for the last sticker to miss it
And one of them had me not get even one line at the end. At least the other one I was guaranteed 2 lines
People still have hope?
@@ciberkid22 thos happened to me a few times, but specifically just last night 😭. It's always that last sticker..
Wondrous Tails* not Tales :)
@@Zephhiur mum has a wondrous tail
oh god my sides at the smacking bomb in the the center of party.
I honestly spit some coffee out of my mouth when that happened :DDD
I'm crying help
Give the newbie a break! Punting the bomb at the boss to interrupt it is a common and logical mechanic :)
One of the veeeeeery few times I wouldn't be upset with someone raging. Though it is just something you would have to laugh about. 'I was doing my raid roulette and some baby noob punched the party in the face with a bomb.'
watching people who are first timers/ forgotten is always amazing. This is a boss that you have to do the mechanics or won't win.
Fun fact! In the first section of Sohm Al hard, if you position the mobs over the geysers, the mobs will get an armour down debuff allowing you to kill them faster!
Same thing in Halatali Hard and Qarn Hard, you can use the traps to debuff the enemies :-D
@@CetteSara Also the same thing for that ixal dungeon and the compass, they will have a vuln up if they get hit!
I saw that 999 Turali Corn. A new champion of the Cornservant has risen.
Pre 6.1 Castrem Maridiadum players “Remember us, remember that we once lived.”
47 minutes. I had every cutscene on an alarm so I knew exactly how much time I had.
When msq roulette was synonymous with Netflix and chill on your second monitor
"Why is this salamander mad?"
Mad because small. Jealous of tall.
PERFECT answer.
Man the rant about how everything is getting minimalist is so read. I remember the fast food strip in my town being so colorful and gaudy. You have McDonalds and the red roof. You had Burger King and the big slanted roof. You had Taco Bell's big purple roof. Now, like you said, everything is so sterile and looks like an office building. It's sad.
It’s 100% for property value and resell ability
Reject Modernity, Embrace Tradition!
Even those more iconic designs are quite bland compared to structures from even 300 years ago.
@@alloounou6900**hits joint** "so what have you heard about the Tartarian Empire...?"
@@DPH_Psychosis😂
7:36 One might think Cider Spider is an FFXIV gameplay RUclips channel, but it is actually a nostalgia channel.
Tune in Friday for more fast food and Bionicle references.
How many "you know you can run these unsync" comments will Cider farm today?
That is what I did for years.
Chloe is a monster behind that innocent smile.
Finally got 3 lines after 3 years of getting trolled by this kid. I almost cried.
thanks for reminding me of the 90s Fast Food Vibe, they used to be so colorful and appealing
Just something about him standing in a lightning until it kills him, instead of even trying to move away, and still accidently passing the raid amuses me.
Ps: for frog and small, you can walk back on the plaque to remove the transformation
Same with Shrink. For the poison phase it won't kill you outright. The poison has to get enough stacks to kill you and turning into a frog clears them all. So I like switch back and forth quickly and keep dpsing as much as I can during that phase.
@@KageCM ye that's what I meant by smol, thanks tho didn't know it was named shrink in eng
@@KageCM also on top of that for shrink you can see how long you have before the blades cut through with the innimity list
@@KageCM Wait until 6 stacks, then step on-off-on and you'll be fine the rest of the phase. As for the mini there's no reason to swap back. Unlike most minis in the game you don't actually do less damage like that.
@@NokoFace Good to know you're not debuffed in mini, thanks for telling us !
Honestly, your rant around 8:00 about colorful cool things being turned into office buildings? YES.
White Mage is a class made by Dwarves, because WHM can cast Rock and Stone!
Oh hey, the picto in Solm Al Hard is my IRL sister! Small world lol
Fun minor speed strat for Tower of Babil:
In the phase where you need to be a frog? You don't have to stay a frog. 8 stacks of suffocate will insta kill you, and the phase only lasts long enough to give 14.
What does that mean?
Ignore the mechanic until you have 6 stacks.
Tap the frog square to remove the stacks. Tap it again to become human again. (This whole process takes up about 3 stacks worth of time)
You can now ignore that phase exists. There's not enough time for it to suffocate you to death.
I think that the frog thing was the same as not doing dungeons unsync - a meme.
I sometimes miss making and eating dinner during Praetorium 💔
I built gunpla models and painted Warhammer during it.
My office was always so tidy after my daily MSQ trial..
Was great time for doing laundry
i tell puns in the chat, so far it started a vote to kick me once, it usually gets me all the coms though
I fell asleep during Prae once and got kicked XD
5:00 the shield from brutal shell is unlocked at level 54, at 49 in aurum vale you only get the heal. Basically, before heavensward, brutal shell is physick, after heavensward it is adloquium.
You were definitely hired by Ratfinx Twinkledinks to mess with the party
Whenever i would get Prae i would anyways open with "Welcome to FFXIV; the Movie the Game. Hope you all brought popcorn" i would them go on a rant about a Garlean soldier "Bob" who was 2 days to retirement. A conscripted who epithelial me or for revenge given another expansion or two. I also liked playing my own version of "Praetorium bingo" based on party composition and what happened
I think I did my first Prae run with you lmao
these videos have been my favorite recently, thanks for the awesome content
I got three lines this week!
...during a week where I don't have access to all three rewards, so no gold certificate for me. :(
Same. /cry
I know some people who still throw up D1CBA4 near the shield projector tower. In loving memory.
7:17 I remember those days.. . the hours I've slammed my face in a IRL wall, gripping my whiskey. Yes.
Pretty sure FF14’s Anima model is either straight imported from FF10 with better textures or painstakingly recreated from the original.
i kinda miss OG Castrum Meridianum. Like, yeah, it was stupid long and was bursting with unskippable cutscenes, but it FELT like you were doing something that was suppose to be hard to do, breaking into a heavily guarded Imperial Stronghold built to defend an even bigger Imperial Stronghold, it FELT like one of the final dungeons for a base game MMO. Now it just feels like a normal dungeon with some lack luster defenses that can be dealt with by knocking over a power line.
I loved tanking that place. There was that one really spicy pull towards the end where you had the entire Imperial army chasing you for like half a minute and all you could hope for is that the healers understood to pop their sprints as well. Then there was that iron giant boss where you could time your stuns perfectly to completely skip the invulnerability phases. I do miss the janky charm of the old MSQ roulette dungeons.
I just had john healer in leviathan in trials lette and he kept saying let's heal all over this anytime someone spoke to him 😂
Colorful Taco Bell... remember us... remember we once lived.
I can't believe you found the John Healer!
Don't forget about the cutscene where Cid fires the Magitek and it dies and he says "The armor was hastily rewired. I blame Marques." (Marques was the name he went by he had amnesia.)
I remember the platforms in ST's second boss, was kind of a fun mechanic, the boss' main platform would become the floor is lava from memory recall, so you had to go out onto the platforms and jump across them defeating adds, even in ARR after a while though we skipped this mechanic.
Great video Cider!
Holy spam under presence of mind with a swiftcast thrown in is arguably more satisfying than art of war but that is short lived and then replaced with glare 4 later.
2:29 you can transform back to being a human early if you touch the frog pad again. So you can avoid sitting still and doing nothing and go back to hitting the boss. To optimize this you can turn into a frog briefly at first at the 6th stack and quickly hit the pad again to go back to being normal and the stacks wont get high enough to kill you.
God I love your commentary so much.
Zlatan looks like he isn't carrying around 1000+ ears of corn
Zlatan looks like he eats corn on the cob the same way he eats hotdogs
with a knife and fork
Oh no, not the Gobbledygroper! What's Khloe sending us to?
I really thought you were going somewhere else with "if you want to feel the clash between old XIV and new FFXIV." somewhere less totally untrue. Pictomancer is not representative of some kind of reverse Cerberus syndrome in FFXIV. The game always had a huge contrast between cutesy and humorousvs dramatic and serious: ARR has one of the darkest moments of the Scions come at the hands of a man called Teledji Adeledji, Heavensward has this gothic architecture you talk about shortly after after a zone heavily featuring moogles, the ARR Hildebrand finale reveals the antagonist is seeking vengeance for a historical genocide perpetrated with a biological weapon, you play a lalafel scholar!
If anything it's what Final Fantasy is known for.
Jesus christ dude, you are stabbing me in the heart here with that Nostalgia.
Also, YES, why do fun resturants now look like office buildings.
FUCK, why do HOMES now look like office buildings?
Run Fates man, the XP is outrageous. It's how I'm leveling up my alt jobs and it's going so fast
Thanks for reminding me these exist.
I was actually terrified, doing my Khloe book last week, because it was the first time in years that 3 lines *wouldn't* get me a gold certificate, since I didn't have any job at level cap yet. I was like "this is gonna be the week where Khloe *finally* gives me 3 lines, and I won't even be able to get anything for it!" Thankfully, Khloe only gave me 1 line, so nothing was wasted.
I just got my first book last week, and...uh. Most of Khloe's expectations are higher than my ranks. (MCH 41, DRK 50, DRG & BRD & SAM 57, WHM 59, WAR & PAL 60. I'm trying to get everything but BLU to 60 before I try to take on Ascian Prime.)
23:08 the peak of comedy 😂
"Keeping medica II uptime" hurts me deep in my WHM soul.Medica II is like Succor - if you're casting it, something unfortunate is happening.
At level 1-60, regen the tank and it'll handle most everything (same as you're used to selene doing). Medica II isn't needed unless the whole party is at 60, you don't need regen anymore either. Bubble + assize + tetra + benediction takes care of most dungeon and raid healing.
Ah yes. The old tank One Two Step. Also, noticed you mentioned the DT MSQ but curiously left out all that time spent in Thornmarch EX MiNE for reasons I still don't understand and I was in that particular fight.
I remember castrum being an 8 man. There's so many arr dungeons that are light parties now.
The hilarious thing about Glasya Labolas is that he may theoretically have mechanics but even the Solo Only run of it, with just 15 people with all their solo restrictions, STILL never saw any of them. You'd have to go unimaginably slow to see them.
Also, short 60 for me is Antitower
the thumbnail made my day xD
Ah that wipe during Fist of the Son brings back memories..... Of like 2 weeks ago doing it for the first time ever 😅
That was a fun fight
By the way for those people that are getting into tower of babil the 2nd boss its plates you have to step on to either turn into frog or shrink can be stepped on again to revert you back to normal since frog you cant do anything with and being shrunk actually lowers your damage by quite a bit. could help speed up your runs with this one simple trick yoshi-p doesn't want you to know about
You can actually re-step on the squares too remove frog/mini in Tower of Babil. Also you can use Knock Back Prevention (Arms Length or Surecast) during the anima fight! It's pretty nice tbh for dps uptime haha
The minimalist movement is entirely about 2 things:
1) Save money by doing less - flat art is quick and cheap and easily done for pennies by bad artists. It saves money. Same for square buildings with ornamentation. Red/purple roofs or signage you can't remove easily and use elsewhere will hurt resale value on the commercial property. Grey blocks can be used by anyone.
2) Appeal to "wider audience" - Bright colors attract children, sure, but they're divisive among adults. Better to make everything as inoffensive and bland as possible to ensure wide generalized appeal than to cultivate a specific audience and limit your customer base.
Corporations wasn't always about min maxing every penny out of a business. Places used to atleast have a soul, even if it included a sticky floor and magnetically attracted children.
I like to play a game in Syrcus where we choose a number between 0 and 24 and see which one of us got closest to the number of people who died to Curtain Call.
Salamanders are very cool and nice and not angry at all and definitely pay their taxes
For Tower of Babil, if you move back onto the image that made you a frog/mini, it will undo it
What do you spend your Wondrous Tales certificates on?
I don't she crushed my spirit one too many times
Magicked Prism Namazu, of course.
What certificates? 😛 with only 4 jobs at 90 so far, I can still use those poetics, so I always go for those
I never get any lines..
unironically minions and mounts as i'm a completionist in every aspect of the game \o/
You may be too young to remember the brick and terracotta Taco Bells when they were really leaning into the Mexican vibe. It's funny because many of them have been sold to, and are still used by much more authentic Mexican restaurants. Your local taqueria may have once been a Taco Bell.😀
Great vid.
nice an upload on my bday also im prety sure the anama rig is just anima from ffx
Holy heck your voice is amazing 😊.
For serious. Thing that resonated the most with me is fast food going all dark and corporate. Taco Bell, McDonald's, both look so sad and dark. I miss the happy bright days of fast food. At least I could feel less depressed about clogging my arteries 🤣.
Edit: also using Dancing Mad in The Vault just seems to fit better than I'd ever have thought.
I'm almost certain that Anima uses the rig for Phase 2 Ultima The High Seraph
Like a goober several months back I went on a few month hunt train grind to earn all of the Endwalker relics. Now I want the stage 4 of them to have a matte version because some of those are waaaay over saturated with the glow effect that the model work can't be easily seen if at all
17:00 one person have to get electrocuted at tower, which spawns those two collored circles. Gorrila to slap bombs away, bird for the "Boost" boss attack as bird wont get hit by ground attack in the air.
There are some fights where you can easily kill your team ^.^ Btw. Amon savage can still be done - if you get one of the frogs to "save" their frozen team mates ;)
D1CBA4 markers will be forever remembered as the pinnacle of a bygone era
Doubt you will read this but in the event that you do... That twinkledinx battle.... The part you added sound effects on when he was doing AOE ground slams, everybody is expected to turn into a bird at that phase, and occasionally you have to step in the lightning to prevent it from chaining like that. But other than that, you had the gist of it
Art of war is one of the most satisfying spells in the game, which is good considering how much you spam it in dungeons.
I do and don't miss being able to just skip all the cutscenes in Castrum/Prae. Skipping ruined my first playthrough, all I could do was watch a quarter of the cutscene before it would force skip into the next, I had no idea what was going on and got more and more mad as the dungeon went on until I just got up and went afk during the run.
It was until they made it all unskippable that I actually got the see the full cutscenes and understood what was happening.
Yeah it makes sense why they made the cutscenes unskippable, but boy was Praetorium long in the old days. Always wished there was a compromise where you'd only have to watch the cutscenes if someone was actually new, and if everyone was a vet you'd be able to just do w/e.
I was able to do Warrior & Viper for MSQ for leveling. My Roulettes (Leveling, MSQ, Alliance) for Healer. My next Job I am gonna level is my endwalker Main Summoner
Le Mayo indeed, sir.
Sprout here, just finished post ARR post MSQ. At what point can I start doing these books?
We haven't thrown rocks since endwalker
Once we took on the pack of colossi and won. It was amazing.
I learned that White Mage had a gap close from this video, I have played this class for 6 years.
As someone who kind of knows the mechanics for Alex 6, that run was incredible. I have never seen someone go gorilla mode and then actively yeet the bomb into the middle of the party XD. Not sure how that first wipe happened tbh. Does the tower in the middle go berserk if no one stands near it to drop the potions for long enough?
picto in fact does have sustain, a pretty nice shield at lvl10.
Never done Wondrous Tales before, is it worth it to level up alts that are below 80 ?
for that reason, not really, since it gives about half a levels worth of exp on the turn-in class, once a week. But they're fun to do, give some decent other things like tomes, and encourage you to play a variety of content. and maybe you'll get lucky
I miss the memes of castrum colosi runs xD *accidentally* pulling all 6... sweet memories
I still don't know where exactly the sound effects are from 🥲 except for fem viera grandma dying noises?
This video reminded me I need to hand in my WT for last week LOL
I think of that guy as the manticore rig from palace.
Twinkledinks will build vuln stacks on the tanks, so it's one of the few fights that requires tank swapping.
I remember old castrum etc And i Sure as hell don´t miss it, Even now they make it so u can´ t skip cutscenes after the 1000+ time.
White Mage summoning Selene is the job homogenization final boss
"This fight got mechanics?" LOL :)
Behold!
Around 10:04 FFVI second half depressing post apocalypse, also FFVI Girl from a secret village that can use magic, makes drawing that come to life as her magic(Where was born Pictomancer) saves the world with a group of adults... Nah, Pictomancer fits on HW.
I forgot WT were a thing.. maybe I'll get back to those to level jobs...
Just in time for the weekly scam
I agree on missing the jank from old castrum and pra
They had personality, and learning to speed run all the garbage was actually kinda fun.
Plus a ton of people to shit post with the whole time. Idk, I miss it.
This content was good and funny. It shows some of the old content, and why any one should bother repeating it. Also you make WHM look easy. I find it stressful 😂
Edit: I was supposed to go with my FC in doing Wonderous Tails, and what do I do? I delete the book, thinking I'd get a new roll on it; only to find out, I can't get a new book until next week! Total fuck up on my part. 🤣
Thanks for datboi! He da best ❤
This healer be john af!
Anima is probably taken straight from FFX, but maybe slightly modified?
I wish they brought back the original Prae and Castrum for a limited time event or something.
Wait, is it common for people to flamethrower Khloe's stand? If not, I think I may have seen this live 😂 I don't keep player names displayed, but I do remember giving a chuckle when I saw an angry baby lighting up her stand.
Anima's rig is probably the same as it was in FFX, right?
