to apologize for any language deemed offensive.\u00a0 The one thing I WILL NOT apologize for are the spoilers to every raid because too much time has passed.\u00a0 I also don\u2019t apologize if anything seems elitist but there\u2019s been a lot of time now and groups should be clearing unless you went through a reform recently.\u00a0 For the casual players, it\u2019ll probably be a funny read because of how stupid easy I\u2019ll make everything look.\u00a0 Currently we are in weeks 14 and 15 depending on when this comes out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How the rest of this will continue is from my perspective of the fights and I\u2019m not really good at this game.\u00a0 I\u2019m also the laziest player alive so a lot of strategies involved are catered to that (O4S).<\/p>\n<div

the discussion ends because all it\u2019s just normal mode without rails.\u00a0 This fight took all of twenty minutes because I had to use the bathroom.\u00a0 The hardest thing about this fight is that you clear it so fast that you forget what the mechanics are and I&#8217;m still struggling with that to this day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Final

going up for direction bombs and who\u2019s going up for a lot of other things then it\u2019s ridiculously easy.\u00a0 This fight really only did damage in week one and then everyone got gear so it became even easier.\u00a0 I can see why groups wipe on this floor a lot just because of how much people can forget in a week.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"

all the mechanics aren\u2019t hard to remember.\u00a0 There is still huge spikes in damage that might make healers have to work a little bit but this is the definition of a fight that you can overgear to make it easy.\u00a0 Animal farm should always be heals-tanks-DPS.\u00a0 Play the mechanics, LB when you can, and you\u2019ll win.\u00a0 Your group really shouldn\u2019t be stuck here despite the trappy nature of the fight unless you just started the tier than I understand.<\/p>\n<p>O4S &#8211; Written here to make the control + F easier<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe

allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>ExFaust is the hardest fight of this tier because of the RNG of the black holes.\u00a0 I think everyone should have the boss outside of the middle to make it good for melee.\u00a0 I also think the clock method sucks balls for tank and healer fires and everyone should adopt the flower method since you don\u2019t have to clip people by running from their clock positions.\u00a0 The Flower method ensures that tanks and healers will be on time for the stack and that one tank doesn\u2019t drift too far from the boss.\u00a0 If you prefer the clock method, that\u2019s up to you but you should probably adopt flower.\u00a0 For the flares, just have tank flare SE and everything works itself out.\u00a0 The RNG of the Black Holes can be difficult because of the cape but you\u2019ll be okay outside of that.\u00a0 If your healers can\u2019t keep up, you need to boot them because they are trash.\u00a0 If your group has been consistent in attendance and has more than five clears on O3S and you still can\u2019t get to NEO, I would just reform or PF your clears at this point because your group in its current form is not going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>In my video I was freestyling it but please use this other method otherwise you&#8217;ll cause too much damage to the party.\u00a0 Also my raid group didn&#8217;t have loot drops so everything seems spicier than usual.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11619\"

method so just be mindful of that.\u00a0 If you want to make it even easier, just pick a quadrant and play from there.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FFXIV: O4S

extremely fun.\u00a0 Most of the mechanics are super easy to learn but the only strategy that should be used for Grand Cross Delta is the uptime strategy.\u00a0 The video guides are complete garbage when they explain GC Delta so it\u2019s better to use MS Paint to do it.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll be posting some stuff about it but I learned it a little differently.\u00a0 GC Omega is only hard because people get intimidated by the amount of debuffs but in reality you just play one mechanics at a time.\u00a0 Whatever the healers decide for that one should be what the raid plays although I suggest just removing the debuff on the first mechanic.\u00a0 A lot of this fight reminds me of Sephirot EX except it\u2019s remade in a form where everything looks more intimidating.<\/p>\n<p>Grand Cross Omega is literally &#8220;lightning don&#8217;t stack and spread out, beyond death stack&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11621\"

isn&#8217;t too bad in PF because they stick to a strategy and just want to clear.\u00a0 I actually find pugging NEO to be way better than rolling with some groups just because of how consistent the strategies are.\u00a0 Most statics have their strats wrong.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11684\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>My actual opinion of the raid tier is that it is way too easy.\u00a0 Maybe Ultimate Coils will bring some of the difficult raid atmosphere back and I really hope it does.\u00a0 NEO is designed to be memorizable and the only thing that can be dicey is the aggro control otherwise mechanically it isn\u2019t very hard.\u00a0 Honestly, the fights just seem boring and I only raid because I like the people otherwise I would\u2019ve quit in week four.\u00a0 I\u2019d rather watch Super Mario 64 speedruns than raid.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t beaten it by now, you have a better shot in PF because your static would need to reform and it\u2019s week 14 maybe 15.<\/p>\n<p>How would I compare this to Alexander Creator Savage?\u00a0 Honestly, Creator Savage was harder except for A9S being easier than O1S because I hate ice sliding.\u00a0 I wonder why a lot of groups are having difficulty with Omega Savage when it\u2019s so much easier.<\/p>\n<p>As far as 4.1 is concerned, it&#8217;s a catch-up patch to me and there isn&#8217;t anything remotely interesting about it except for a 24-man raid I&#8217;ll do twice (maybe).\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think Shinryu is a primal I actually care for but because I beat the content quickly it&#8217;s a useless primal to me.\u00a0 I&#8217;m doing daily hunts because I don&#8217;t want to spend savage books to get Glazes.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to thank all of you for reading this and I hope a lot of what I said cleared up any confusion about O4S mostly.\u00a0 I\u2019ll end this with a drawing that depicts how hard I beat this tier.\u00a0
