I truly must hand it to the developers. Despite 1.0 being a temporary fix for us current players, I am extremely pleased with the latest two major fights.

Between United We Stand and To Kill a Raven, I am very happy to see how the game is being handled. The storyline and music never fail. Beyond that, the fight mechanics were just beautifully done. I wish to speak of the actual fight mechanics. Server congestion does not factor in here.

My thoughts on going into the fight blind were "If I have to dodge meteors, I'm gonna be pissed." Sure enough, there they were, raining from the sky, and yet I wasn't pissed at all. In fact, I think it added a spectacular element to the fight.

While it may take some figuring out for many groups, this is sure to be a well remembered fight and the only sad thing about it is that after 2.0's release, it will no longer be made available.

Also, the final cutscene was outstanding.

Overall, very excellent work. I look forward to the future of FFXIV more than ever.
