It was NEST's videos. They are more in line with their comedy and friend dynamic than actually being guides (though they make those, too). Their Machinist has the form of color-blindness that muddies greens, so the green pools of energy were blending in with ground to him on their Seph Ex runs. He complained that he couldn't tweak the greens to blues so he could see them and was a perfect example on why FFXIV needs more color-blind friendly options.

He probably can't see friendly mob AoEs, either.
