When I was new to the game in 2013, about a month or two into playing I was at endgame getting into shout parties on my DRG to do Binding Coil. The cleave range on the snake boss in there as well as the speed of the telegraph was like lightning to me, since I was on PS3. I told the party I was new, and they said you'll die a lot probably. I confidently stated I wouldn't, and proceeded to go double weak on the snake and still die 4 more times after that.
I play with animations on, and sometimes it really does make the fights harder, because certain explosions do obfuscate the camera completely. A specific boom chain in God Kefka is what I'm thinking about. My old raid leader assumed that I can't play without call outs because of it, despite the fact that I've done callouts for him during his nosebleeds before. Despite the fact it has killed me before, I play with effects on, but my friends will chide me about it any time that I die hehe. I just... I like the fights being boomy and blammy.
The first time I used the melee LB3 I died. It was ADS in Turn 2 of Binding Coil. The LB did damage the boss... but I got smoked.
I actually would like to parse hound for a cycle. I play on PS4 however, and I'll never be willing to demand uploads or logs of someone else haha.
I killed myself with Elusive Jump in Titan HM more than once.
Again when I first started I came from FFXI. In FFXI a BRD rotation was swapping BRDs out between parties so they could distribute Soul Voice enhanced song buffs to the entire alliance. Coming to FFXIV and my ex talking about how hard BRD rotation was in FFXIV, I acted like I knew what she was talking about 100% When I found out it wasn't even remotely the same thing I died a little inside, cause she just knodded along with me when I talked to her about it as if I knew what was going on.
I got my first Titan HM clear as a pity carry from a social LS of people who were all Legacy and already had relics. They said all I had to do was last until the heart broke, and I did. It still felt bad though.
I've often partaken in the seedy underbelly of Balmung. It's amusing, albeit time consuming. I just like to write lewd stuff I guess. hehe
I squee whenever I get Hullbreaker Hard Mode because of the Sanguine Siren section.
