Videos to make me feel pumped for end-game?

[Miya_Carbuncle]

I struggle with my ADHD as well as taking care of myself so that I don't feel like a zombie on a daily basis. Because of this, it can be really hard for me to feel motivated to do much of anything, and it's because of this that I missed out on so much stuff this game has had to offer in the past. I regret it so much... (I hope they bring back the Lightning and Shantoto events at least).

Like today I spent a very large majority of my time watching Youtube and it's now 11PM... which is depressing. I feel like I completely wasted away my day. Though it's my fault for staying up so late last night and eating mostly sugar for breakfast; that's probably why I don't feel very motivated to do much of anything lol. :P

I just came back to the game and while I'm much better about it than I used to be, (glamour and fantasia potions help keep me from making new characters at least lol) I've learned that the best way for me to feel excited about logging in and leveling my PLD is to watch end game goodies. You know, like big raid bosses and such. I've yet to do any end game raiding, despite being one of the masses who pre-orderd the game and waited for hours just to login on a daily basis. I want to raid so badly! Even if I have to mainly rely on DF and PUGs due to my inconsistent night shifts at work.

I also really want to do end game crafting (if only low lvl crafting wasn't such a bore), be rich, and one day own a home (among other things)... But raiding videos are more exciting and raiding is mainly why I play MMOs anyway.

Anyone have any videos to share that make them feel pumped to play? >:3

Edit: Oh and it's not that I don't enjoy leveling up my character. When I'm not groggy or my ADHD is really bad, I have a blast leveling her up and finally doing harder dungeons. I also spent a lot of time on her new glamour (which hasn't updated yet it seems since I've made her a lala again). It's just when I feel kinda crappy it's hard for me to feel motivated and even turn my game on. It's the same for many other things in my life that would be easy or ritualistic for most other people.

Sorry for the essay by the way. xD

The End of an Era trailer makes me feel pumped. Answers is one of my favorite video game related songs, up there with the likes of, well, other FFs, Suikoden, TWEWY, etc.
Then again i get really motivated by auditory stimulation rather than visual.

I fear to show you video of actual T9-T13 end game raiding it will only increase the salty tears that will role down your cheeks due to frustration as you were forewarned the absurd amount of wipes you will endure. I don't want to be the culprit......

But in all honesty lol there are really only ''guide'' videos to end game content unless you consider the patch videos something to marvel at considering they show you max like 10-15 secs of raid.

To get you pumped about end game content would be to tell you that the game truly doesn't even start until you've reached it as all the exp you have amassed has prepared you solely for ventures beyond that of Lv.50. You'll battle countless primals reaching all the inner FF in you testing true ability and skill as a player. Raiding imo is the true epicenter of end game content as majority of the adventurers are gathering gear , crafting mats , and honing skill just to test their ability against these daring challenges. This is my first MMO and though I have nothing true to compare it to I think it does end game content justice its tough its challenging and if you like a true true game that ask for pretty much all your attention to detail keeping you engaged in the action then my friend The Coil awaits you.......

you already have a WAR at lv50?
I checked your character on Lodestone lol

Go enjoy some lv50 dungeons and the HM Primals Their fun!
Thats assuming you havent played ANY End-Game (lv50+ content), you should go enjoy the dungeons from 2.1/2.2 as their not to taxing or time consuming, their pretty easier barring one or two mechanics (Copperbell HM haha).
Also Main Sceneario Daily Roulette is good for quick 8man raids/tomes just re-running last two story instances, it will get you used to tanking at a higher level for Coil etc

EDIT: IMO play some new content and finish 2.0 (I just looked at your achievements) as your WAR, its a good tank class and for me a better tank than my lv50 PLD. Just dont get deterred by Aurum Vale its a horrible dungeon but you need to do it to finish Grand Company questline and unlock some things.

I'm well aware; I leveled it months ago before I took another one of my breaks from the game and I loved itu ntil I seemed to struggle to survive at the last few leveling dungeons. :P The problem is that you apparently really need to know the fights as a warrior to time your CDs and combo right; or at least that's what people are saying and it seemed to be true at the time for sure. PLD seems to be be a lot more leniant with the defensive CDs and survivability in general. I can't help but feel nervous using WAR when I'm not used to end game content because of that.

Heck, part of the reason I took a break was because I had social anxiety at the time (still kinda do, but not nearly as bad at all) and I was too scared about messing up and being called out on it. Apparently end game players can be grumps. xD

Though with that said, I am much better at tanking now than I was back then though and they were buffed... I might try it. :3 I'll miss all my defensive CDs for sure though, lol. Thanks a lot for not only taking the time to make a detailed and helpful post, but for going as far as to look at my character's information.

Also a really big thanks to everyone posting videos and giving advice. I want to reply to your posts, but I'm not really good at knowing what to say I guess. ^^; I promise I'm not ignoring my replies and I'm trying to +1 everything.

Oh no worries I wasnt having a go or been a douche when I pointed out the War at lv50, just saying you can already access some end-game content that isnt hard-core raids like Coil/Tower or Extreme Primals etc
Theres some none instanced stuff at 50 thats just plane fun to do in the open world e.g Hildebrand side-quest, Moogle Delivery quests and of course the 4-man dungeons they've been adding since 2.1.

Glad the PLD is working out for you, I couldnt get it right at 50 :/ seems weak and dies for me, but my WAR is nice little power house (good STR/VIT) with 8000HP so it just soaks up damage. As for cool downs for the fights, it's not to bad really you get used to it and if you run content with FC friends and people you know its less stressful, most people will help you if you ask what to do when running dungeons in my experience - your the tank, not like they have a choice haha

Anyways enjoy the game at your pace mate
