That's pretty impressive -- they don't have any videos uploaded of them playing by chance, do they?

he goes by Angelus Demonus on Twitch and streams his solo clear runs:

He has beaten Heaven on High solo with all jobs (Healers are by far the hardest to beat it on), not sure about Palace of the Dead but he's working on the new one right now.

He plays with an on screen keyboard so people can see that he's only using it.

For me, it's one of a handful of things I regularly enjoy doing in FFXIV. I got my very first solo clear not quite so long ago (and almost effed it up bad lol) after literally hundreds of attempts =\

I really do struggle to understand why that got culled at the last hour.

As far as I understand, much like with Monstrosity, the person who was working on it left Square-Enix which basically left it dead in the water. We did get to try a very, very, very early version of it with tons of placeholder assets. But we never saw it develop beyond that. =\ It was very rough, but the new features it offered were promising. In particular it would have given us the ability to have multiple bags open at the same time. It was only recently we got the ability to switch between bags on the inventory screen without having to back in and out of menus constantly.

And to be clear, I didn't think it was a given that they would implement something were it possible, but even if it was "impossible" as things stand, it is still within their power to modify a system to enable better buff/debuff management for non-human party members.

No, you're right, I'm only saying that if Trust were internally treated as true party members, it probably would have worked with zero effort- it's because they are not that it doesn't work. =\
