Dear Ninjas

[Ashkendor]

Many people (myself included) don't learn from watching a damn guide. Some learn more when actually doing the fight. Who is honestly gonna sit there viewing and studying everything in the guide?

It's called having fun and learning. Who learns from a video

I don't learn very well from videos either. That doesn't mean I should completely forego watching them, though. I've found it's a lot better to watch them, get whatever you can from them (if only the names of the mechanics and to see generally what they do) then go into the fight and check it out. After you try for a bit, go back and watch the video again. It usually makes more sense. Going into something completely blind may be fun for you, but it's not fun to the rest of your party when they already have an idea of what's happening. I'm not really sure why people go into DF (or ninja into farm/clear parties) to learn rather than setting up a learning party anyway.
