Barby is one of the best normal trials, I love how even Endwalkers normals feel like ARR or Heavensward Extremes.

I love that you can witness the increase of pressure or complexity over time with raids. It really does lend credence to the fact that the Warrior of Light is actually more capable to handling extremely powerful beings, and in typical FFXIV fashion does it with perfect integration with the gameplay.

@@iantaakalla8180 I think it also really goes to show how good the team is at ramping up the difficulty. And how they know when to build it up slowly, and when to slap people with it. Holminster Switch and Tower of Zot both come to mind as times when they were more than happy to make the very first dungeon in an expansion also fairly difficult. Break people out of that post-expansion power trip. It really drives it home for myself. I remember the first time, doing Ifrit as a sprout all those years ago, yelling at my monitor, "How am I supposed to keep casting and avoid these stupid flame circles?!" Then fast forward to last night, where I'm tanking Barbariccia for the very first time, and manage to dance through it while taking only a single vuln stack the entire time. It really does make you feel good, looking back on how far you've come.

The uptick in difficulty and complexity is honestly really nice to see on Normal Trials. It both forces the player to get better and hammers home how much more OP the Warrior of Light has become over the course of the game.

This fight is probably my favorite in the entire game, i absolutely love how chaotic it is and watching newcomers run around like mad. Also it was my first on patch extreme that i ever cleared so it always has a place in my heart.

Definitely one of the few dungeons/trials I've experienced where my first run was a mix of crazed giggling and screams of panic. Always a good time when that happens! My friend has yet to get to this point in Post-EW and I'm so excited to join him when he does...

The Farfaello cutscene at the beginning is precisely why I say that this patch MSQ ties into Endwalker - the theme of Despair and giving in. I can't help but feel that the whole Thirteenth would have welcomed the Endsinger's song of oblivion. Sweet release to the pain of forced immortality.

I remember on Day 1 when I queued in for the Trial. People already wanted to quit after wiping twice on second phase. Me and one other player said "it's only day 1 guys...we got this" We cleared it on third try.

I had this trial again last night, as I decided to swap mains for the coming Dawntrail and am currently getting my new main through the 6.x patch content. I hadn't done this fight since the first time, right after it came out. And it was a pleasant surprise to me that, despite how quickly all of the mechanics come at you, everything is immediately readable. It forces you to act and react almost constantly, without throwing in more intensive mechanics that rely on boss model visual cues. It really is one of my absolute favorite fights.

Just before I discovered we'd be fighting the Archfiends out of order (in comparison to IV), I was like "there were four in the original, one for each element. But XIV has six elements. So what would be the names of Ice and Lightning?" And looking at the Ars Goetia, where the Archfiends got their names, I picked Farfarello and one other I forget, only for them to use one of them here.

This is my favorite EW trial by far. It's hectic af, without tripping over my inability to cope with geospatial mechanics on the fly. Regarding watching cooldowns during hectic combat, I use a 4x4 action bar at eye level that is only for watching key CDs and procs. I never click on it, it's just a watch list of sorts. It helps me a lot with still doing A Thing while not standing in stupid.

The theory crafting of how the story might be going with connections to ff4 was so strong in this expansion… with so many callbacks to it too. I so hope you both play FF4 someday

The only thing that could have made this trial better is a more fitting VA choice, one of the rare misses post-ShB IMO. The French VA for Barby was my favorite, really captures her chaotic nature.

There's some odd editing cuts here and there in this one. Where the camera just suddenly clips to a completely different pov and area and angle from where you were just a hair of a half second prior. Like you got teathered and were moving, and then suddenly you were in a different spot on the other side of the circle.

It's changing POV between the two characters. Which Nahuel does when there's not much fast paced action going on. You can know whose POV it is when you see the orange border around the hosts.
