10 common FFXIV mechanics that sprouts usually fail

[Rowde]

Length is fine, iirc i think vids need to be over 8min or something to qualify for ad revenue

Good info though... one notable I think that maybe got left out are "Chasing Markers" or consecutive AoEs that chase a targeted player, I don't know what the common terminology is. Which is funny cuz you briefly show the "new marker" in the e8n fight while you were covering the Flare marker. The reason why I think this one is more notable is because in addition to taking out the sprout, they can also accidentally KO multiple allies if the mechanic is handled wrong. Examples and variations I can think of off the top of my head:

- WoD final boss, Weeping City of Mhach final boss, Swallow's Compass second boss - red/orange crosshair on a player, smaller consecutive AoE chases the targeted player, can dmg other players in their path.

- Dun Scaith 3rd and final boss - red/orange crosshair on a player, larger consecutive AoE chases the targeted player, can dmg other players in their path and also does knockback

- e8n, Copied Factory second boss - "new marker" pulsing orange marker with 3 arrows pointing in a direction below targeted player, smaller consecutive AoE chases the targeted player, can dmg other players in their path

- Ridorana second boss - no marker on targeted player, larger consecutive AoEs markers appear below the targeted players, there is usually a generous delay before these AoEs resolve though.

While I dislike the idea that everything needs a guide, it's nice that you are offering the helpful voice that some desire.
Very spot on for what new adventurers tend to struggle with. One of the youtube comments I replied to was regarding chains, which I think isn't TOO common but likely the only other regularly appearing mechanics I'd have included.

Keep up the good work.

Oh yah, Tethers/Chains too, but there are also a few variations on them, so would have been a longer segment for sure.

And actually, Forced March... Forced March definitely isn't super dangerous the first time players come across it... which I believe is Sirensong Sea final boss... but subsequent occurrences of Forced March have gotten progressively more lethal to mistakes.
