I'm loving all the nostalgic videos! Keep them coming!
Calling t4 boring after week 1 is a bit weird for me because I believe it was 2.3 when party finder groups could clear the dps check there.
I spy with my little eye the TP bar! I don't miss that mechanic!
Bahamut should be 1 just because unlocking the fight nets you a 7minute hifi fmv that theyve never done again, which totally blows.
Also they need to bring back full voice actingin raids bc all these stories- Omega, Bozja, Eden, Panda- just…theyre kinda dull in cutscenes, 14 certainly makes the money to do this for all major side content
Turn 9 really is one of the most underrated fights in the game.
As a side note, she was the unsync run ender for so many sprouts who thought they could stomp through the coils no issue. They'd trounce everything else without much effort, then Nael and the ice dragon especially put an end to so many unsync groups in HW and SB. Even in SHB, she could kill level 80 players if they weren't that good.
He's right: Turn 8 savage still stands as one of the best fights in the entire game.
I'm a person who wants the longer normal raids back, maybe not as long as some of binding coil, Alexander did the storytelling with less. But I'll compromise. Savage is boss only. Possibly with doorboss and checkpoint.
I did an unsynced run of Final Coil T4, and somehow it's STILL one of the best looking raids 10 years later.
Im progging T7S now with my static, this fight is fucked up on savage shit is no joke. Dont even talk to me if you havent cleared coils mine lol. Thats the FF14 skill gauge lol
I remember T9. I knee the fight perfectly but back then I did not have a static. So a good pal of mine who was in the FC took people from othwr FC and mine and they created a group just to help me out.
Then… I got HORRENDOUS internet connection all of the sudden. I could only play through parts of the fight and I caused so many wipes. At the end they kinds carried it with 7 man and I was able to get my clear. I was so ashamed and happy at the same time, but I will never forget T9. It was easily a fight that upped the difficulty a lot compared to anything else at the time.
My most favorite from coils has to be T9, I had a blast learning it with my FC back then. We were already overgeared running it with 130ilvl since we only started going through coils in 2.5 but that didn't take away from the fight at all. It is still my favorite encounter I have ran to this day for sure.
Binding Coils minilvl is the only "hardcore" content I did with a static, but to this day it remains my favourite memory of playing the game (and BOY did it teach me to play this game). We took a rly long time (around a year I think) because we were going only 1 time a week, but we made some rly fun memories and everyone pulled their way and stayed chill to the very end.
Nael / T9 was 100% my favourite fight, the mechanics are so fun ! And as a tank it felt really good to be involved in the mechanics along everyone else (thunder, fire, etc)
Then I think my favs are probably 11 (as a tank) > 12 > 13 > 8 > 5 > all the others
Def hope to get around to trying the Ultimate Coils someday >:Ô
Ooh. I remember rafflesia. My clear was freaking close.
T10, the fight where my elusive jump does work moving me from one boss to the other 🤣
T3 is still the most fun experience I’ve had in this game.
We’d all throw 100k each into a pot, take all our equipment off bar weapon and first one to the end got all the cash.
The amount of shithousery that came from switching platforms on people was brilliant
Big fan of t7, t6 was alot of fun too
I started the game almost a year ago. When I finished ARR, my FC happened to be organising a regular synced Coils run. This was my first raiding experience in any game, and I had a blast going through the turns. Turn 9 gave us quite a lot of trouble, we were a party of mostly inexperienced sprouts, and even after all these months, beating Nael is still one of my most memorable moments in this game.
T5.., the dive bombs T_T…, clearing in PFs T_T
(but was fun, when finally getting the dive bomb & twisters down was fun!.. it's dev futher up on my list)
Played Blm main till mid / late Stormblood (and again start of Shadowbringers)..
… T1-4 were boring (but I didnt raid week one).., ..T5 and all following fights were fun as Blm)
hated turn 8 xD.., least fav of 2nd & final coil
agree, liked T6 too (but sometimes a pain, when forced to move as blm xD..)
… dance emotes worked too (for the not to attack mech) 😀
2nd coil was the hardest tier imo (T5 aside xD..)
personally 2nd & final Coil remain one of my fav raids.., if not favourite overall (hard, but not too hard, many interesting / totally different mechs & styles, great glamours (!) etc..)
my fav is T9.., but the dive bombs omg
…
(followed by T13.., just so magestic..)
I wish there was a short graphic inbetween each placement to keep track of already ranked turns. Especially at the end, a nice overview of all the rankings would've been nice. Great video anyways. Enjoyed the commentary a lot.
doing t12 was one of the top moments in gaming for me the story cut right after was something i hope they can bring back some how
Ah yes…. The Binding Coils. When they were released I discovered I probably wasn’t made of hard content. The ‘coils’ Before Bahamut were tough but feasible. But the boss fight? After repeated failures with the FC raid party, I had to bow out. The stress was getting to me. Not so much because we got wipe after wipe but because the FC members started going at each other’s throats. It, eventually, perhaps, inevitably, broke the FC appart. I didn’t touch CoB or any hard content until Shadowbringers. Yeah.. uncool. Turns out, I CAN do hard content. 🤣 However! It’s still not easy to me. 😆 Thanks for the nostalgic trip. 👍❤️

Hey Happy, as someone who is just now getting into raiding, I'd LOVE to see a video that goes over all of the slang terms for different mechanics and what raids/trials they came from. I love the history of this game!
Still have never set foot in one of these raids, almost 1500 hours into the game.
29:35 the thing that really brought me back was Happy spam clicking the Potent Poisoning Potion.. lol.. those were the days… XD
I think t1, t5, t6-13 are my favorite fights to this day with only even 4 rivaling them.
The game is so scripted and controlled now we will never see fights like these or Alexander's ever again and that makes me sad.
Job design went that boat to. We have more jobs but less variety, werd.
Have to say, I remember watching some of your coil videos all those years ago so I had a good idea on your top three. I did all of coil on drg and I think kahlia was the most difficult for me especially with how enmity worked, all it took was a critical to early and you're now the tank. T13 though, as much as I hated landslides, hearing answers play in the background, hearing it progress as you got closer to the end, it made bahamut prime feel like a final boss
Such fond memories. I have memories of running though turn 3, as my raid leader would always queue up Yakity Sax as we ran through it. Nael to this date is still one of the best, and hardest fights imho ever made. The only part of the tier unsync'd that is incredibly hard to solo. Fond memories of killing bahamut for the first time. Lots of nostalgia here.
