The secondary DPS accidentally triggered the boss. This was roughly around Rune got to Bard.

I have no idea what happened to our tank but our poor healer. I felt so bad cause I was having to use potions and I think I forgot I had Second Wind and Arms Length for the mitigation.

Even More About Me:

FFXIV Characters: Rei (main male Lalafell) - Summoner (main job) and Samurai (second job) as well as Dancer (third job)

Isa (alt female Au Ra) - Black Mage (main job) no secondary job yet

Helix (alt male Viera) - Lancer (main job) no secondary job yet

Rune (alt female Miqo'te) - Bard (main job) and Rogue (secondary job)

Favorite FFXIV Job: Summoner and Samurai. I like flowing through my rotations and now that I can finally summon Demi Bahamut...I'm a menace with my damage as a summoner and Samurai's LB comes in clutch during boss fights

Favorite Arc: Gotta be the "interlude" questline between Heavensward and Stormblood. I went through every emotion and almost threw my controller in "oh my god!! WHY?!" moments during intense cutscenes. I'm not far into the game but I've only been playing for 3 months. Still a lot of content to get through.

Favorite FFXIV Race: toss up between Lalafell and Miqo'te. Au Ra and Viera are fun to play as well but I enjoy being a cat girl and being chaos incarnate wrapped up in a tiny package

Favorite Glamour: It's a toss up between Rune's Bard/Rogue look and Rei's Samurai look. Both are posted on the blog but for a reminder here's the photos. Both are a mish mash of various armor sets. I did add a helm to Rei's look and switched the pants but regardless the top/hand/shoes and weapon are the same.

Got the new character Odette. A good support for Stellar reaction teams from what I gathered. Was doing some research and since I didn't like Sandrone's play style I had to cobble together a team.

A good team for Stellar Swirl but I am tempted to try a Stellar-Conduct team. Which I think a good one would be Cryo MC / Odette / Sucrose / Fischl. But we shall see. I do want to get Alyosha in a team cause he seems like an Electro Chevereuse and I love using Chevy on my Lyney team.

Edit: I apologize for the slight choppiness of the clip. New internet and we're still fine tuning it.

My Miqo'te Bard. I had a set of Foestriker on her minus the shoes and pants. Then got an idea from someone else and sped through the Golden Saucer gates to get the T-shirt and then cleared Aurum Vale for her pants. It's not exact but I like it. So her glamour now is the following:

Body: oversized Moogle Neotunic (Soot Black)

Hands: Fingerless Goatskin Gloves (Soot Black)

Legs: Aurum Brais (Soot Black)

Feet: Toadskin Leg Guards (Soot Black)

I dig the outfit to be honest. It looks good on her, especially with the red/yellow hair.

5 minute of the Ultima fight second phase for daily roulettes. Didn't go in as summoner this time.

20 seconds to spare and I've been getting used to using the LB as a samurai. Could've had more of my buffs up and the DoT of Higanbana. Regardless we did it. Even though I did die part way through.

[something-is-a-fish]

Tiny bit bored so switched to my Au Ra. (I have a couple other alts that are a Miqo'te [archer] and a Viera [lancer]. Rei is still absolutely my main.)

This is Isa. Just unlocked Black Mage for her. Not wholly sure if I'll stick with Black Mage but we shall see.

[something-is-a-fish]

Made it to the Stormblood arc. Decided to change things up and switch to a close range dps role. So hello to Stormblood "era" Rei. I'm determined to see this arc through as a different job.

I got through ARR and HW as a summoner. As you can tell by my other post for when I beat ARR and lack of HW post. I was gonna do dancer but I liked the rotation of samurai better. Slowly getting the hang of it through doing roulettes.

Here's to the next arc. I have tissues prepared just in case. I feel like StB is gonna be another rollercoaster.

So WuWa came to Xbox so get to play it through the cloud. I used to play it on my phone when it first came out but had to stop cause there was major issues with it having connection and frame rate issues.

Glad to know I can get a better experience on the box.

[something-is-a-fish]

Finished the whole of A Realm Reborn. Final look for my little dude (will probably remain the same unless I find something better for glamour). Level 61 summoner.

I got so angry at the end with everything going on cause I was really loving Nanamo's character 😭 she just wanted what was best for her people at the end of the day.

Been putzing around in roulettes purely because it's fun and I enjoy helping people through their first runs of dungeons/bosses. Got a couple new grimoires but they aren't fantastic. I don't really do raids minus the ones that were needed to get to the Heavensward.

My Durin and Nicole versus the Thunder Manifestation

Definitely ate some food for a boost but other than that did very solid. (Apologies for the slow start, we were yapping and got distracted)

[something-is-a-fish]

My friend fighting the Aeonblight Drake. She brought out Varessa and her Lyney. Very solid fight, I'm very impressed 🥰

Also yes it took me a second or two to find a good place to watch. Curse the leaves in this area!!

[something-is-a-fish]

My little Lalafell. Finally beat A Realm Reborn, a quick screenshot of a cutscene. Was wearing the Summoner set you get from the Summoner job questline. Chipping away at the (I'm gonna call it an interlude) quests. I am also really curious to try and play a Gunbreaker once I'm able to. I like complex setups and rotations.

And my Adventurer Plate. I don't have set times I'm on because my work schedule is pretty all over the place between my day job and working on a graphic novel. Regardless I wouldn't mind getting to know other players or sprouts. Or any guidance would be nice as well.

Been actively watching various FFXIV players on YouTube and TikTok but also just a bunch of random guides purely out of curiosity.

[something-is-a-fish]

When you and your friend decide to challenge each other to solo bosses. I have several clips I'll be posting over the next few days because honestly we did amazing.

My Durin and Nicole versus Maguu Kenki. So Nicole is the new character that just dropped this recent patch. She's a great support. She gives your character a shield as well as a party wide attack buff with off field clone that mimics the element that the current on field character does (though takes 3 seconds for non Hexrei characters for the burst to be applied).

Never turn your nose up at a good support unit cause it can absolutely make or break your team...or in my case my two member team.

[something-is-a-fish]

When you actually remember to scan the area to make sure there's no obstacles that need to be destroyed to prevent a full wipe (found that out via the Ifrit fight)

I'm pretty pleased with my ass surviving. I definitely need to get the second quest for summoner done now since Titan has been defeated. But I'm almost level 50 now.

Down the rabbit hole I've gone 😅 almost have 40 hours under my belt. Need to look up the rotation for Summoner since I've been using the Arcanist rotation, but I may wait til I have more of the spells.

Also it makes me chuckle seeing such a small dude taking on these massive bosses 😂

[something-is-a-fish]

Trying out FFXIV and absolutely loving it. I'm trying to decide do I buy it and the subscription. It's been so fun running around as a Lalafell.

Also did a bit of research on the rotation for Arcanist. And it's fun seeing myself figure out the muscle memory. Also another Arcanist joined in on this Fate (little challenges that help with getting XP)

If anyone else plays this, is it worth it? I feel like it is and with the several expansions that have come out, it looks like so much fun.

[something-is-a-fish]

Still working on Nicole but I'm proud so far with her boosting Durin. Roughly 65k damage.

I'm happy I pulled her. I am building Prune as well to replace Sucrose for increase in team wide damage. Nicole replaced Bennett in my Durin team. Though he is still used in my Lyney Overload team.
