Mr Happy ticked off a lot of the early game's community with his Garuda EX guide, which basically said "If you want to clear, don't bring melee dps."

I personally can't fault him for that though, because there are a lot of melee-unfriendly fights in this game. To say otherwise is just being delusional.

A good melee could get around the aspects that made Garuda EX trickier for melee, but ranged could just outright ignore those aspects. As a result, you were gambling less with a random PUG ranged than you were with a random PUG melee.

That's no excuse. I remember said Gaurda EX guide and was put off by it as well, and a bit surprised also as he has been a MNK main for as far back as I can remember. He did redeem himself a bit though with the King Thordan normal guide where he asks, "Why are you even here?", implicating to do the fight blind in order to get the full experience from it.

Anywho, a proper guide cannot be discriminatory and special attention should be given to mechanics that give players trouble. Mr. Happy has gotten much better in both regards. As long as he doesn't have to explain starboard/larboard type mechanics, all good!

Other stuff? Rescue & Restore. Townsends.

ZeplaHQ for her sense of humor. MTQcapture for strategy, Meoni for glamour and other item commentary. Every week he explains the Fashion Report.

Laryzaur is hilarious at times. Mr Happy has some good guides.

Noticed one of my FC guildies is also putting out guides for content now - Lycona DaCheeChee

I don't agree with that (I don't feel it's relevant; the bottom line is that some classes are more disadvantaged than others when it comes to any content in any game unless all the classes are 100% carbon copies of each other, and I feel what's actually disingenuous is for a guide to pretend like this isn't the case), but I also don't feel particularly strongly about it enough to care to derail the thread any further with it, so ehh

Mizzteq for her awesome and informative guides that don't ramble on for 25+ minutes about details we don't need.

Primarily outside of guides, I watch Drak and the various NEST crew. They've always put a smile on my face and given me a load of laughs for years now, and are a bunch of decent people besides. Larryzaur's also great.

Taking aside FFXIV-centric Youtubers, I bounce around between SuperButterBuns, Clemps, ValkyrieAurora, and GrayStillPlays. Plus Outstar for all that sweet vampire goodness.

Zelpa is the best and I love her commentary. I just use either Mizztech or Mr Happy depending on who gets it out first. But sometimes I get my primal ex clears before they get out their videos...
