Julyan vs Zenos

[OranKells]

Expect to fight Juylan in 6.4 in the next ultimate fight.

Julyan is satirical OP. However, I believe Shadeversity posted a video exhibiting the validity of a frying pan as legitimate combat weapon (though much better for defense). Also pretty sure Julyan is a WAR main, and is also a CUL. I need to figure out how she adds inner release to her crafting rotation.

my character fears no one

Consider it take 8 of us and some effort to take down Gilgamesh, while she single just one hit him….

[Kranel_San]

I didn't know this is something I want to see until I read this thread.

[Lihtleita]

depends if it happens in hildy or the msq
in the msq i can see them killing off a comic relief character for the sake of drama
but in hildy zenos is a dead man

Best character vs best character? Hmm...

[Ryaz]

Half-joking aside, was it ever confirmed if the Hildy stories are canon? I've always assumed they were just for fun or were exaggerated accounts of events that actually happened.

I would hope they aren't full canon. Otherwise, I'd be out there berating Godbert and Julyan, wondering why I'm out there killing myself to save the world when they could do it with cooking utensils and a tiny hammer. Lazy SOBs.

Who do you think holds down the fort while we're off saving the world? Somebody has to keep the primals and Garleans and whatever else in check.

Canonically, the WoL solos all those bosses. For gameplay purposes, they mention bringing in friends. Lyse even made a tongue-in-cheek comment about that during Stormblood.

I think G'raha Tia summoning other heroes across the rift to help us battle Hades is the first in-game instance I've seen where bringing in help is explicitly shown in a cutscene. Then of course, we do see the other Scions help us take him down at the end.

This is exactly why I was asking that question. If they are indeed canon, and by that I mean all the combat abilities we see from Godbert and Julyan actually count, then either one of them could unironically solo the entirety of the FFXIV universe with ease. They could not only solo Zenos, but could likely one-shot Lahabrea, Emet-Selch, and Elidibus. Any single primal would not be a problem at all for them. Alexander? Omega? They could shrug them off. Nidhogg could have been slain in seconds. Hell, send them to Bozja and the whole thing would be over in minutes.

I have no doubt the meetings and investigations took place, but some of those abilities were like...this is just for fun, right?

On the other hand, there's no indication that either of them have the Echo. Imagine if they got tempered and turned against us. They would lay waste to Eorzea as only a Manderville man can!
