Xenith of Garuda has soloed ODS with RDM/BLU, bloodtanking style. S/he has posted video of the fight here (http://hosted.filefront.com/Funkysalt/). (OperationDesertSwarm_0001.divx one)

I think it's a wonderful fight, and that you guys might enjoy it too.

[Electricity Gone Human]

That...is impressive.

[hongman]

Wow, nice!

But please dont do anymore RDM/BLU stuff, coz otherwise Id have to level it >.>;

PLD/NIN can solo ODS too (well, our PLD did)

[Aksannyi]

Very freaking cool and quite impressive but why do people insist on A. recording the vid with music that probably 90% of the viewers will not enjoy as much as the person recording it, and B. speeding it up so much that I can't fully tell what the hell's going on. (I mean I get the idea but I like to read chat logs).

[Murphie]

Agreed, Aksannyi. I would list that on a "Pet Peeves about FFXI Videos" thread, but WE DO NOT NEED ONE PLEASE EVERYONE DO NOT MAKE ONE I MEAN SERIOUSLY.

Cool stuff though.

[LilithAngel]

I should make one, just for you, Murph! ;)

Seriously, there's plenty of FFXI vids out there with somewhat questionable music direction in them.

And by seriously, I mean seriously. :evil:

[Mhurron]

And by plenty, you mean pretty much all of them.

(I mean I get the idea but I like to read chat logs).

Because:

A) They enjoy the music and in the end that's all that matters

and

B) It's a long ass fight and after the first 2-3 go down you should be able to get the gist of what they're doing.

Also, I've seen vids of Blm and Plds soloing this thing and I'm sure a Blu could do it too. Not really surprised at all that a Rdm could do it.

I'll be impressed when I see a vid of Brd soloing it

[FortMan]

Ah, look like Ziero covered Aksannyi's comments already. I can't really comment about the music (since you'd find 12 tastes among 10 peeps ^^;). And like Ziero's have said, file size's still a big thing. So either you cut something out, or you speed thing up. I, too, became Sir Pausalot for this kind of vids.

As for soloing, I knew that BLMs can solo these. So is PLD. But has a PLD without Aegis did this before? Xenith bloodtanked those scorp without any OMG gears, and that's an accomplishment in itself, I find.

[Aksannyi]

Well I understand why they speed it up, it still annoys me though.

[LyonheartLakshmi]

Agreed, Aksannyi. I would list that on a "Pet Peeves about FFXI Videos" thread, but WE DO NOT NEED ONE PLEASE EVERYONE DO NOT MAKE ONE I MEAN SERIOUSLY.

We should make a "Pet Peeves about Pet Peeves Threads" thread.

People should make their videos more like S-E's AV video. Clean, had all of the highlights of the fight, and one could more or less tell what was going on.

OH NOES IT'S EDITED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT US TO KNOW WHAT CHEATS/ASSISTANCE/DOUCHEBAGGERY THEY MIGHT'VE COME UP WITH SO WE HAVE TO ASK THE VIDEO POSTER FOR THE FULL, RAW VIDEO REGARDLESS OF SIZE!!!1!!1!11!ONE!!!

I agree with Yellow Mage. Who cares if it's not the entire fight, as long as it covers the key points of the battle?

Everyone could tell so well that we all know the secret and he is beatable now, amirite?


I personally like having the full versions of movies. If you want highlight fast forward yourself.

[Grizzlebeard]

I fully endorse the use of Norwegian Death Metal as the industry standard for all in-game videos!

[Callisto]

Agreed, once I get TiVO to make 360 videos, all of mine will be soundtracked with metal, lol.

[Murphie]

To counter that, I will score all of mine with bluegrass and country!

[Callisto]

And you wonder why we want to feed you to dragons.

Dancer videos set to Boot Scootin' Boogie, go!

[Callisto]

That just relapsed me into memories of when I worked at Lone Star. I just threw up in my mouth a little.





Actually, I kinda liked working there, I ate there every day and could still continue to do so if it was free...but if I tried to wait tables these days I'd suffer an aneurysm within a week. :/

[Aksannyi]

Personally I like classical music, nothing like doing Dynamis to Rachmaninoff.

[Callisto]

See, that would be my other option is putting it to soothing instrumental stuff, but that type of music has a bit of a buildup time, and it would make the video ZzZzZzZz to me.

[Grizzlebeard]

Dancer videos set to Boot Scootin' Boogie, go!

I always pictured dancer videos having this playing in the background.

Oh yeah!

[Murphie]

The Hustle is another valid option, yes.
