FFXIV - Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic) First Clear [NEW DIFFICULTY ALLIANCE RAID]

wow what a weird a realm reborn video mrhappy1227 has uploaded

Extremely disappointing its just the one boss, they're not even trying anymore

Nice Happy grats on the clear that truely is a chaotic fight^^

Reminiscent of wow raids, this is a nice step forward

How many wipes/lockouts was it?

I like how this incorporates some stuff from the Eden CoD fight.

This is going to be a nightmare for PF.

Happy Brambles made a comeback

All I know is if I can clear this 6 times I'll be happy
But my reaction times aren't all there for many a years

YEAH... I need to re-purchase Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster and platinum trophy it, thanks for reminding me. XD

Jokes aside, I'm glad you got the clear. I watched you start this and saw how horrifyingly brutal this challenge is. It's not an ultimate but it has pretty much the same difficulty of the final boss of one. O_o

I'm sort of glad I canceled FFXIV for 2025, I'd never get my backlog done if I played that game.

Oh, and it bears repeating... HAPPY HOLIDAYS, HAPPY! :D

May I ask how much pull until you guys succed? 😊

Seems pretty fun, but I think I'll wait for guides to come out before I visit PF...

Not looking too deeply at the mechanics, but are all 24 players mandatory for everything?

In other words, does it look like the fact you can enter with less than 24 even matter, now or possibly in the future?

I do wonder how does the dodging in the p2 parties work. Materia prog seems to be stuck there rn with protean beams if I heard right and we should be sleeping (and yet here I am), and this question is kinda keeping me up

Grats on the clear! Nice to see it's really EX-levels with recoverability and dps leniency. I don't think I've seen a clear without deaths and dds yet lol
I had my hours of fun in blind EU pf, but perhaps with the xmas obligations or just pf being pf it started dyig down afterwards, but I think I got phase 1 down at least!
Aiming for a 2025 clear now lol

mrhappy why is there a singular eggplant in your inventory

good luck finding 24 people that have cohesion with every alliance in pf

This fight is absolutely horrific in PF. Furthest i saw was Active-Pivot Particle Beam and that was after hours of wiping in P1. 😩

Mr Happy, 2024 - 'Ah feet, perfect'

this raid is whack.

its ridiculous how many totems you need to get the rewards. Not worth it. Too many issues with the simplest raid tier ever in PF to trust this.

I only managed to see the start of the platform phase doing blind day 1, but the rest of the fight looks cool. I'm a fan of there being one difficult phase requiring good coordination sandwiched between the personal responsibility very recoverable phase. Not having to prog something new at the end of the fight is a godsend with how unpredictable 24 people in pf is XD

This feels like they made a lot of ideas for Fru early on that were scrapped for the story and said.... Fuck it well just make it a new fight

This isn't meant to be a dig at MrHappy, but it's reassuring to see a top player/bard also have their dots fall off sometimes... It's hard for me to keep them up when I'm dodging and learning new mechanics lol.

Ngl this is like a blind wow 25 man heroic raid without addons 😭😂

Seems like a fun fight, I like that they pushed the difficulty. Curious if they do more like planned whether they'll keep them all this hard. Grats on the clear and happy holidays, Happy!

Is this casual friendly? Or is it extreme equivalent?

is it a weekly thing

Phase 1 looks easy enough. Wtf is going on in 2

Thats a big yikes from me, way too many clears to get all the stuff.
