Love the "if we just throw a bunch of BLMs at it we might win!" strat. Very emblematic of XI's RPG-ness.
BLM was one of my main jobs and I took part in many Divine Might manaburns. SE finally had enough of our shenanigans and buffed the Ark Angels against manaburns.
Change blm to smn.
This was our answer for a lot of stuff lol
"The mighty gods Byakko, Seiryu, Suzaku, Genbu and of course...AD BREAK"
Thanks, RUclips.
I always though the Cardinal Virtues in FFXIV were a reference to these guys
You might be onto something...
@@horaciohernandez2850 For sure, or even just a subtle homage
At the risk of sounding rude.
"Well no duh!"

They very likely are, 14 is incredibly derivative of 11 - painfully so at times and it's only really noticeable to us veterans
Divine Might was such a challenge, I didn't even care for the reward it was all about figuring out how to actually beat them with a standard group. I was responsible for keeping our EV tank going and he nearly died so many times on our successful clear. Not to mention almost deleveling from our failed attempts and that's with either Reraise or Raise 3 to reduce the xp penalty.
I'll never forget we were doing DM and we were actually doing pretty good and then someone infamously said in party "WE OWNIN" and then the HM used Mijin...and we all wiped..
These guys used to be scary, especially together. I’m so excited for everyone to meet them!
Thanks!
Who are they? They literally gave me nightmares in FF11 and were a pinnacle fight. It was truly epic.
Ouryu was my wall during the level 50 cap era of her fight in CoP. Divine Might I cleared no issue. I was NIN/DRK and kited AA HM while the other parties took down the other angels.
I recall we had to sleep the mage??
I still remember Divine Might. Kiting HM, GK and EV was stressful.
Everything we did in FF11 was stressful. Honesty, how did we even had the patience to do all of them.
Playing solo these were some of my favorite fights it was incrediblely rewarding to figure out strategies and trust situps to overcome these almost puzzleboxes
aw man, hearing some of these requirements for unlocking bosses and features in XI really puts into perspective how less "multiplayer" XIV is. I do love that it's easier to get into for classic single player RPG and FF fans, I am one of them after all, but I would love for it to have more of these "bring your friends or make some to overcome these trials. We do have a few of those, but not enough IMO.
FFXI is still active, if you want to find a group of friends and play through it! It’s still surprisingly fun!
I think there's pros and cons to both, for me I prefer playing FF14 because I don't have to do such things, I'm naturally shy and I get nervous making friends so I prefer not having to work with so many people at once! I want to get into FF11 because I hear the gameplay is fun but I'm super nervous about having to interact with others 😭
I can only dream that they will one day be retooled into an Ultimate raid so that they can retain their former glory.
Dude ffxi is really one if not the best game ever lol I loved every story, I never skipped any CS
Well yeah, you couldn’t. 😂
@ hahaha true!! I meant I would actually sit there and pay attention to the story.
Great video! I'm so excited to see how they incorporate the XI stuff into XIV. I loved what they did in Eureka.
Yo, ff11 y'all ff11 fans must have been freaking out, what a crossover
i vaguely remember fighting the tarutaru one back in the day, and for some reason blackmages in ffxi could equip scythes, think they had a c or a d skill with them lol
They could not equip many 2 or 3 and it was d skill, but it was stupid touse one
@@aaronclay4665 yah the staves were so much better.
i remember how Ark Angel EV used to end DM attempts back in the day because Dominion Slash used to also remove Reraise.. meaning you couldn't even get up after a wipe if you got hit by that. you'd also usually save her for the last because she's the hardest to kill and Benediction would restore all of their HPs to full if they're within range.
multiboss fights in FFXI were so fun and so dynamic. you'd have to coordinate things like a tank kiting a boss, sac pulls, BLM/RDMs would be on duty to keep a target slept.. and recovering from a wipe was a contingency that was always planned for. looking forward to the chaos in 24man
2:11 is the nerdiest eight second sentence I have ever heard. Haha. Love it.
Look at the requirements to spawn them. Speific times of the week. I kinda miss that sense of rarity to actions. It makes clearing regular missions feels like an achievement and it required collaboration with other players.
Boy do I have a Eureka for you
I suppose there is always potential for the ark angels to be given a chaotic alliance raid fight in the future. Then they can really go all out.
Fingers crossed for that.
Divine Might was absolutely one of the most Brutal fights for a veeeeeeery long time. And it absolutely filtered Players left and right lol. But it was just so worth it for the earrings it offered once you complete it.
Love the 11 lore on this channel.
Divine Might was difficult fight, Ark Angels was a very memorial fight, it took my LS several tries to kill them, it was a stressful fight.
Ark Angels have a huge place in my heart, my excitement levels have never been higher!
9:33 I smell a chaotic raid~.
Wish they also dropped their weapons, ArkAngel HM had some cool swords that'd look nice for a Viper.
The sky raid was something else. Unlike the raids in FF14, it was in a shared world. Meaning you had to work with other people before summoning your own bosses. Depending on which server you were in, this may have caused some drama. And oh boy, I had fair share of drama. People were stealing eachother farming items from certain rare drops. Mostly it was JP vs NA. The NA used to complain about the low ping of JP which helped them claim those rare mobs quicker. And how JP despised NA for not following their rules. It was basically a mini-war between them for a while.
Yeah we had to schedule with other linkshells who was popping what god and when. I miss the early 2000’s 75 level cap days.
Well done. Extremely comprehensive.
Divine Might feels like it happened just yesterday-I still get chills thinking about it! The countless hours spent preping, only to face those brutal wipes afterward, haha. But honestly, I've never been this hyped for a patch. Can't wait to dive in!
Been waiting over a decade for these battles. Once more we beat back the shadows!
Back in the old days Divine Might was an event to say the least. Planning for the day of, waiting for people to log in and killing time in sky, going over the strategy multiple times, people changing jobs and making trips back, all building up to one chance at the fight. The stakes were insanely high. Spent a whole day on Divine Might, the fight itself was over in a flash and we wiped badly. But the entire experience was most memorable.
I'm so happy to see you making bestiary vids. I asked if you ever planned to do more of these vids a while ago and I'm happy you changed your mind from then.
It would be cool if SE added a dynamis style endgame at some point, XI vets will remember that well, it was a lot of fun back in the day.
their fight for the story and for your special earring gear later were brutal fights
once blu got added they got alot easier for sure
dancer and scholar further made their fight less of a problem but still it absolutely was one of the og status symbols and marks of progress to get them done
im gonna stand on Fafnir's tail any chance I can
About 10 or so years ago, FFXI offered free log in weeks. I took advantage of one just before they ended PS2 support. After getting some trust NPCs and leveling THF to 99, I went back to the main story only to find out that I had to fight these guys. Was actually able to solo them each individually with Trusts, but wiped once on one of them. Can't remember which one, though. Never knew you could fight all five at once. Still would have been a big no thank you.
I remember my DM clear. Our strategy was burn down TT right away then focus GK with most of the alliance while 3 kiters held MR, HM, and EV. I was playing RDM and tasked with kiting HM. Everything was going fine and then EV kiter died and I somehow ended up kiting both of them for a while until the alliance finished off MR and pulled HM off of me. Kite EV till the alliance was ready and then helped finish her off for the clear.
I never beat them with a standard group.
Such different times back then. A lot of FFXI players didn't advance the MSQ because boss fights weren't designed to be cleared despite mistakes.
One of my favorite boss themes in the game
IIRC, they added some extra context to them in CoP;
We see in the Chamber of Eventide in an attempt to cleanse the Emptiness from them (didn't work) and there's also a bunch of dialogue I can't exactly remember because it's been over 10 years lol.
Excited to fight them again, and curious as to who the final big bad will be - it was the Cloud of Darkness in XI and that would kind of fit with the rest of the update but this is only the first. We've also already fought Shinryu in 14 and even a weird version of Pandemonium Warden. And of course AV was the final boss of Eureka so not sure what they're gonna pull, unless they bring back Lady Lilith ?
I think I'm most excited for this fight.
Just need soken to give the original song his chefs kiss and I will be happy 😂
I remember the planned wipes in the fight. You’d kill two or three of them, run to the top of the stairs and wipe. Everyone raises, rests and then go again. Kill the last two
Definitely had one of those clutch fights against them. I don’t remember which angel was the last one standing, but I was the last party member still up and was BLM. Had enough MP to sleep it once more, knelt to regen MP, and got one last spell off as it woke up, winning.
Ok, so awesome interaction with AAMR (envy) she will use the THF SP Perfect Dodge. If you are a 99 THF, you have a 2ed SP ability called Larceny. You can use it to steal other SP abilities from targets. If you Larceny her Perfect Dodge, she will Larceny back off of you!
I started playing FFXI this year and Ark Angel EV might be my most hated boss in a game in a good while. Horrifying to fight solo with trusts.
I played though XI last year and EV was by far the toughest fight. I was doing the expansions in order of release so only had 3 trusts at that point. Had to level to over 80 to beat it.
@marzocchi705 I had to do that too! I still couldn't crack it, so I finally ended up having to ask a higher level player for help.
Shield bash...
@@kasaioni7680 no
you need senitel schzero to survive her 1 shots
I just want AAEV's shield as a glam for PLD.
Omg I loved DM music. Fondest memories I have come from when I finally completed my Terpsichore for my DNC and tanks struggled to keep hate off of a job people underrated for DD before swapping to tank stance to tank the Hume especially 😂
I miss the days of MMO's having special weapons that actual meant something to have. FFXI's REMA's felt so good to finish and having that huge power spike that made you multitudes stronger than before. You worked your ass off for it and were heavily rewarded for it.
When they showed the Shadow Lord I thought the Ark Angels were the next obvious choice for a boss fight. I hope the last boss drops a glam chest like the Nier raid for Kam'Lanaut's drip.
I did not realize at my young age that the group fight was the optional one…
Their visual design kinda reminds me of Omega-M and F, at least the armors you showed.
Well, I guess I got a grasp on FFXI lore so far... only a few more hours left until maintenance ends
whats the song around 1:30
I wish the devs chose the Ark Angels for the first Chaotic Alliance Raid instead of fighting CoD for the 3rd time in FFXIV. Imagine if they did a 6-man party for each alliance like FFXI for this particular Chaotic. Maybe every Chaotic could have been 18-man from that point onwards.
But having now the chaotic tier means maybe on a future we will have a real ark angel fight
Hoping with the raid series for 11 we get some ff11 updates to make It easier to get into for people.
🕯🌧🌈🔥 Makes me think of The "Original Warriors of Darkness" in FF14
I caused a wipe in the alliance raid for interrupting too early. I'm amazed no one kicked me for that blunder
Oh my goodness. I recognized the names of Bahtbaht, Gambit, and Akuji. They were on my server. o__o;
Need some earring drops!
I understand this reference.
Seeing these kinds of videos and the 7.1 trailer itself makes me want to try ff11, is it worth it? Or is it far too late into the game's lifespan to do so and should just settle for history videos like this?
It’s quite a different game now than it was when it came out. I think a new player would be really confused because at the start of the game they throw all of these expansions at you at once without trying to keep a cohesive story plot. They got added all through the years, so you randomly zone in somewhere and you get nonsensical cutscenes from expansion number 4 or 5 (for instance) out of the blue. They need to retool the whole experience. I don’t like the game as is, and much prefer the 75 level cap era with Treasures of Aht Urgan as the last expansion. It would be amazing if they revamped the game using the FF14 engine and brought it into a somewhat modern era of aesthetics and gameplay/interface, but that would require creativity and effort. I’m not holding my breath.
I remember I tried to do DM manaburn once and... boy was that a big part of why I dropped playing BLM! that, and not really jiving with My Dynamis LS' suicide strats they expected of BLMs.
Bushinomimi!!!! I beat you guys in one realm. I'll do it again in another.
The Ark Angels gear set is the biggest letdown on this patch to me xD Everything else looks amazing
Nice!
I just remember using cor in a party and surving the group fight somehow ×.×
Then was told by someone in jueno they been watching me and wanted to add me to thier linkshell
Learned some people turn games into jobs
Said fuckit and switched from my elven to my miqoute candykisses and became obsessed with dancer and beastmaster forgetting I had a elven o.o
In short they was a turning point in my game lol
man dancer was amazing in ffxi, you could almost main heal with it, if you had the tp.
the ark angels can be aquired trust npcs in 11
The stories you've been telling are interesting, but man the gameplay footage makes me glad I bounced on FFMMO1 as early as I did.
Im happy to get their gear but im gonna need iconic player gear from this raid series to. im talking scorpion harness honam kirins osode hauburgeon askar set vermillion cloack the dusk set or even some iconic early leveling gear
Byakko's Haidate and Shura Haidate. Oh, the memories.
kirin's osode and the vermilion cloak are already in the game, from eureka!
Scorpion Harness, Vermillion Cloak and Kirin's Osode are already in the game
A few of those are tied to Eureka, though maybe you're asking for a dyeable version? Cause that's what I would want. I forget what it's called but FF11 had a really awesome looking set for BRD that I hope we get eventually. Kind of a similar style to Pictomancer AF. Never did get the drop to make it myself and the cloth alone was way too expensive for me to just buy.
@Draylin41 I just want iconic gears from 11 that players used. There was armor level 20 all the way to 75 that were milestone pieces you worked hard for or saved up for. Those pieces would be used for long stretches of time. That German named set wars and paladins used in the early 30s that orange and black checkerboard armor anything that was heavily used by lots of people
I am very curious why my feed is suddenly so full of videos of people trying to explain FF11 to me.
I don't intend this as a complaint, make whatever videos you want. I'm just curious.
Not sure if this is a troll or what, but at least for Happy he's mainly known for FFXIV guides and content and there's going to be a new raid series in the game based on FFXI. Not everyone played both games or haven't played XI in a while, so it's good to have some context about these things.
Well ff 11 is about to be all up in 14 and not everyone that plays 14 played 11 this is a good way to get people to understand what's going on and who people are in this raid a lot of people were confused with the ff 12 and nier raids
Because of the new alliance raid lol
@@DacianGradaMusic It saddens me that even when I make all of the disclaimer that the question is serious, people still somehow think it might be a troll.
Makes it a little difficult to have a conversation.
What I'm wondering is, why this alliance raid, specifically?
@@elvangulley3210 Why only for this alliance raid though?
