I don't think there have been any savage/extreme only spells, but they could be rewarded from "collect x/y/z number of spells.".
all I want... is triple :getin:

Feather Rain and Glass Dance were extreme-only spells in 50 cap, but 60 cap and 70 cap notably didn't have any spells from content you couldn't encounter in roulettes. that said, White Wind is both a totem spell and a trial spell, so they could easily just make Shockwave Pulsar the same

frankly Shockwave Pulsar is too iconic a blue magic spell not to include, so i'm sure the devs have a solution to the savage conundrum already

Yeah I pre-ordered the gently caress out of that when I first saw the trailer for the bluray of the concert. Yeah that $20 shipping makes it more of an ask but Soken's music and the Tokyo Philharmonic and 30 pieces? Worth it.

That's Jason Charles Miller. He was also the vocalist in Shadowbringers and To The Edge, the original English voice of Raubahn before the Heavensward actor shift, and to fans of Revengence is "the Rules of Nature guy". He's done a lot of voice acting and music for video games.

On another subject, YouTube's algo recommended this challenge that seems interesting. This person's going through FFXIV entirely solo. No interacting with other players, and reducing NPC reliance as much as possible, including not using vendors or Trust/Duty Support NPCs. If you were ever curious about what hell being a pure solo omnicrafter puts you in, here you go.

Now I'm just trying to figure out the minimum player count you'd need for each alliance raid, assuming unsynchronized infinite-competence play. You'd need at least 15 for LotA (four for each Atomos pad + one to actually fight)...

Oh, you can clear the Atomoses serially instead of in parallel without hitting the enrage? Nice.

People would hate LotA at least 5x more if it had to be strictly parallel, since I've been in enough serially cleared runs with 20 people trying to kill Atomos at the same time while 4 people are fruitlessly telling chat to stand on pads.

The dude in question seems very knowledgeable about obscure game mechanics (the different kinds of aggro used by brayflox trash mobs, which is something you'd only learn for, like, Eureka and POTD) and mentions that he's using an alt, I think he knows what Alliance Raids are

Kinda disingenuous to ask “Is it possible to SOLO FF14” in the title of your video when you know the answer is clearly “No”, then again it is YouTube.

I think they plan on sticking to the spirit. The question posed in-video is, "How far can you get as a solo player, with as few exceptions as possible." Allowing for exceptions right off the bat seems to me that they plan on using as few people as possible and then moving on when forced to group up.

I don't know enough context/Japanese to know if this is a cover of the track in-game or (given the number of people credited for vocals and being called the Hyadain Version) a production of the meme one, but something's going down in 9 hours and it seemed like something to put on people's radar.
