I was really surprised (casual here) to hear my Savage-tier raider friend call Mountain Fire THE coolest mechanic in the game. Yeah no, her argument won me over pretty quickly, and your guide explains it so elegantly

i cleared in 1 night and 5 pulls max thanks to u joonbob

I also play PF, but in a Japan DC. If one doesn't have a static, the only alternative is... PF.

Even if you don't feel the need to make more guides til Ult or next tier, I cleared this fight my first live savage clear since P1 and P2 I'm happy and having fun again thank you.

Thank you joonbob love your guides hope to raid with you in pf one day :)

I feel like that red part of the bar should be 80% of it

My static is one of the slower progressing groups that your guides are an immense benefit for. Thank you for everything you have done.

I really appreciate having a visual text guide! I can't remember anything i hear, so everything being written and being able to pause and seeing the live version are so helpful for how i learn!

If you have double unused Gamma after 2nd towers, they need to combine to form the almighty tree of good luck.

You are and have always been, in my personal opinion, the best guidemaker in FFXIV. As late as your guides and strats may come, they're ALWAYS the ones that make sense; they don't aim to put an undue amount of responsibility on a specific role, are visually pleasing, easily digestible, AND brief, to boot. I am currently between jobs and cannot support financially, but I hope this changes in the near future. In the meantime I will try to continue sharing the love the best I can!

Picked up tanking recently and these 2 guides are godsends. Clear, coincise and visually impressive well done!

Absolutely no question that you are the best to ever do it when it comes to guides.

anyone got a link for the first song? i cant find it anywhere

Looks like you're all sold out at the Elite level! Love to see it. I hope to see your guides for many tiers/encounters to come.

Best guides on CZcams <3 i watch them even if I'm not doing the specific fights, haha. Appreciate your work so much!

While I appreciate everyone making guides for the community to help them clear content, I feel like often most content creators making guides they do them super early for the CZcams Money while your guides comes a bit later but they feel sooooo polished and professional and 100% made with love and passion which gives you the edge over all the others for me at least, sometimes I even use other guides to clear content but still come and check yours just for the quality of them and the visuals.

your production quality is amazing! i hope to see the other fights too

i started out raiding super late back in shadowbringers pf, and your e5s and e8s guide helped me sooooooo much!! and they still help! theyve definitely shaped me as a raider, thank you for your work joonbob

Best guides and presentation! Love the art too, do you draw it as well? :D

I'm the sort of person who vastly prefers written guides or pastebin raid strats to most video guides- i read fast, and most videos include a voice over that's just far too slow for me, and a lot of dead space in the videos to fill in that voiceover with no real info in it, making it irritating to skip between the points where the information i actually want to slow down and study is. I have never had that issue with your guides. Because they're so quick and just about every frame is so visually distinct and made specifically to fit as much as possible into it for each mechanic, it makes it fantastically easy to watch and retain everything, as well as flip between parts i want to view again. the attention to detail to relative size of mechanics AND timings is a godsend. I always have to tell myself to be patient, joonbob videos are worth the wait- so I'm EXTREMELY excited to hear that you'll be working on getting them out a bit faster. thank you so much for all the time you dedicate to this for us!

Thank you, joonbob! I sometimes write secondary source guides in German language - your contributions consistently allow me to understand some intricate detail that I missed before.

What I really appreciate in your guides is that you show *your own* gameplay along with the diagrams (so I know you actually cleared it and know what you're talking about unlike some other creators lmao) AND you don't monotonously explain the mechanics. Your voice is rather nice to listen, but reading the text helps me a lot to memorize things, I can pause at any moment and re-read if I need to. Thank you for your amazing work and I hope to see more HQ guides from you <3

I honestly started watching a few of your videos back in Shadowbringers ( I have been raiding since A Realm Reborn). I have determined your videos are the best when I am trying to explain a mechanic to my static. I am very grateful for your videos.

Seeing the e12s guide brought back memories, I always loved your visuals, keep doing you <3

This video is a good moment to tell you huge thanks for what you share with your guides and other contents about ffxiv. You helped me to learn some mechs about some fights, and now I am not afraid to try contents. Thank you so much !

Ever since I found this man I have only recommended his videos. So clean, so visually pleasing, and so helpful! Thank you for making these guides and I can't wait to share more when they come out.

I remember PFing back with you in Stormblood and you are right, the guides were not good! lol. I didn't actually realize till a month ago it was you who was making the guides these guides :D Your guide helped me out a lot when I cleared P8s to get TOP access when I was coming back to actually raid!

I want to give thanks for the countless hours you've invested into these guides. They are the definitive guide in a raid in my eyes. Easy to understand graphics + Gameplay make even the most complex raids understandable. I was finally able to clear p8s with your amazing guide before Dawntrail hit. For everything you do for the community, I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤

I ❤ JOONBOB

Your animations are the best! I love everything, from the diagrams to the subtle animations in your thumbnail illustrations. It's all about the little details that make your guides a piece of art. Thank you for making everything, the Eden raid guides bring me back the good memories!

I still remember in E10S Joon saving NA PF from a massacre at the hands of MTQ, you would see all the way in NA PF "JP Strat" which was made popular outside JP DC by Joonbobs video. We went from wiping to learning simply becauase the guide wasn't sketchy Day 1 clear strats that barely made sense.

I love your videos for how informative they are, along with accompanying footage of the mechanics in game, to better relate to what it is you are teaching. I love how flashy they are, and you always have such awesome music to go with them. I am very appreciative of your work and i thank you.

I appreciate all the effort and contribution you have made for the raiders but for the community as well. I will always look forward to your content and more in the future o7

Vagrant story, holy moly that's going back some!

I really appreciate the points in guides where your animations are synced to real time - getting the sense of how much time I have while still having the clean, crisp, view of the animated diagram works perfectly to help me pick up a mechanic.

Hi Joonbob!!!! You da best!!!

I don't even play 14 anymore and I watch your videos for the amazing presentation. You're the best.

I think these guides are the only reason I was able to clear the eden tiers. They'll always be my favorite and most looked-forward-to guides. No one does it better IMO

I really respect you keeping the content consistent (visually, quality-wise, and any other way), meaning that even if you don't cover each and every fight, you'll still offering memorable and useful experience for every viewer. We all know exactly what to expect! Thats really great :)

Thank you for all of your hard work. The Pandemonium videos have helped many of my friends and myself clear. Looking forward to the future guides!

years ago i was informed by my fc that i happened to be one of the healers in your big ol' tanking guide - ever since that fateful day, "i was in a joonbob video once" has sat proudly at the top of my resume as my most shining incidental achievement. that is to say, thank you for all your hard work and amazing videos!

sadly, i very rarely see "joonbob strat" in pf, it's ALWAYS hector which is not very opti and frustrating past week 2, example : worqor : why HTTH and not THHT ? stupid common sense but nobody cares about it as long as the boss dies

Thank you, you are so awesome!

my goat since 5.x !!!!! I no longer use the guides myself since I'm going week 1 but they're great for my casual friends <3

You were the reason I cleared my first tier (even tho it had buffed echo. Late shadowbringers.) And man you were a MASSIVE help! (You and weak alber are my huge help to from being a clueless idiot to a penta legend.) Legit you carried my ass in Edens promise and I learned a lot from the guides, the multi pov's were also a huge help too. I didn't need the help with any ew tiers but I will always recommend your vids to the homies who aren't as experienced or are in the pf trenches! People don't realize pf isn't a static, what you do isn't what everyone else does or knows what you do. Pf may pick some ehh strats at times, you atleast KNOW what's universally agreed upon.

Thanks again for all you do! It’s also super cool of you to keep the patreon supporters in the videos regardless of sub status, I never knew that was the case. 😮

Gotta say a watch a lot of video guides for the fights but yours is always the best one with all the visual and mechs separated, it's nice that I can easily find a mech I'm struggling since u put the names on. Keep up the good work, your videos r awesome!

Lets go Joonbob

I feel like, for PF, if you have to pick a strat between safety and consisteny or uptime? Go with safe and consistent. Parse heads will always use variations of strats for most uptime even if its risky. Most PF goers just want the clear and to do something else. Sadly OCE NA and EU dont use raid finder to clear so there's always bickering. This tier has been really easy tho.
