I'm playing on Anima (Japanese server), tackling stuff mainly with DF.
I noticed that sometimes they have different setups here compared to English guides, so I'm curious about how they handle the divebombs and fire-ice-lightning debuff.
Can you point out a good English guide with similar setup?
2.5 will hit at same time as second expansion.
Elemental dragons is same, or at least the principle is, many English guides recommend stacking up as a group all the time while this one just seems to outline the parts you definitely need to be stacked for (this is commonly referred to as fire-in in English groups). That means following dynamo/therm beam you need to be with group, otherwise just don't be near thunder.
Dives are same thing really, the mechanic is pretty specific on how it operates, there's not much leeway in strategy. The pictures in their guide outline various ways the dragons will dive, and they use A mark as the second dive spot every time. Many English groups mark the first spot for everyone else, but this one seems to relying on the group knowing dragons lay out. I think someone earlier in the thread mentioned macros saying where to go, so maybe they announce North of C if pattern a, C if second pattern, or near SW of B if third pattern. They also stack on B for dynamo following the chariot/novas, and then spread outward from there for streams.
I don't know of any English guides that use the same spacing they use for the whole fight, but I'd read any of them and then just watch the video on that site for spacing, they don't really do anything crazy different in terms of mechanics. The Solitude guide is a good reference, but there are plenty of others. If you got a basic foundation of the fight then it will be very easy to pick up how they do it. The biggest change from English groups I see is really the spacing of first phase, where they tank Nael in mid.

Patch 2.50 delayed until Fall confirmed. The signs were in front of us the entire time.
They did say it's coming out Before the Fall
Well played.... well played
I see.. thanks for the clarification!

Bayohne's latest tweets seem to imply that a trailer might actually be coming out soon... or not, idk.
It's always fun to realize how little attention I pay to like 90% of things going on around me. Having to sit there and work out why we keep losing a tank to Wild Charge only to realize that, hey, shields could be a good thing maybe? Good times.
Not gonna lie, those thirty seconds after Drama kneels down in front of you to appraise your outfit are terrifying. Especially since she's not above insulting your face.

Trailer will come out next monday, during maintenance.
Hehe like its the worst thing that could be!
I just want to raid tonight, fk that patch we still need plenty of time on T13.
This patch will be the first patch which adds new CT stuff that I'm around to tackle while people are learning it.
CT: Didn't start playing til after CT was out.
ST: Came back after a hiatus after ST was released at some point.
World of Darkness looks fun, can't wait to try it

Saw that, the trailer will probably be timed to corespond to the release date of that magazine article.
...sigh, of all the reasons to hold a trailer back.
Add phase would be problematic. I kind of want to say tank tethers force both tanks to eat cleaves anyways but I think there's enough safe distance to get around it.
Anyways you can have one tank eat all the resonances with mitigation.
It's almost like they have some promotional business deal!
Yup, my group just has one tank eat all the resonances solo if possible.
Yeah, I get it, this just annoys me on a few levels.
1: it's unwise. With a few weeks, patch trailers get a full chance to make the rounds, get people excited, maybe get some lapsed players back into the game. Waiting til less than a week blunts that effect, least prior to the release when it'd probably be most effective.
2: the trailer alone is probably a far more effective marketing tool.
3: Most people in America and Europe can't even buy Famitsu. Making us wait because of a Japanese only magazine article isnt terribly considerate.
I mean, not a huge deal, but I've grown used to, somewhat better communication in the past.

I dunno, this is the first time there's been a DRG set worth getting.

I really like the healer set, definitely getting that. Monk set looks pretty cool too. Overall like the look of most of them.

Trailer was cool, though Gold Saucer is in quite a while, I would have thought a bit closer. Oh well it's fine I guess.
