[FFXIV] On the whole I think the Physical DPS role quests are the weakest of the four Shadowbringers role quests, but you know what, that flashback solo instance absolutely slaps

EsperBot
And a big part of what makes it so great is that it harmonizes with the thematically of the role quest’s narrative

EsperBot
Renda-Rae, fearful of losing her new friends, goes off to fight the monster that killed her old companions alone. And it goes all right until, at about the halfway mark, the monster pulls out a fucking stack mechanic

EsperBot
She came here alone. She has nobody to stack with.

EsperBot
As such, it stuns her and brings her down to 1 HP, and the monster prepares a final attack to finish her off...when suddenly Ardbert, the party tank comes running in

EsperBot
And Torn From The Heavens starts playing

EsperBot
And then the other tank runs in and uses Cover to protect Renda-Rae from the hit that would have finished her off.

EsperBot
The rest of the party show up and the party healer brings her back up to full health

EsperBot
The monster tries to do that same new move on Renda-Rae again

EsperBot
But this time, all her friends are here.

EsperBot
They stack for the mechanic and easily make it through.

EsperBot
It’s so fucking good

Levi
also if you've made it this far without learning the concept of Interrupting (which a lot of people had) you gonna learn today son

EsperBot
Fucking right you are

Levi
I still meet people who have like, every job maxed out and never learned what an Interrupt is

RETRIBUTION
hell yeah.
