Final Coil – Aleczan's New Diary (FFXIV: ARR)

Goodbyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bahamuttttttttttttt!!!!!

OMG I’m freaking out!!! We finally downed Bahamut, CoB T13 (Final Coil of Bahamut, Turn 4).

Today we gathered again and tackled T13 once more. Corn needed a minute, so I took that opportunity to take some group pics. XD Sorry, Kuji, first pic has you with very evil face HAHAHA.

Must love /gpose new feature that allows party to stop looking at the camera. :D

During the fight, I was derping really badly, even managed to die TWICE, and only remembered to take 3 pics.

Today we surprisingly took only 1 attempt to win.

It’s really nice to beat Coil of Bahamut with close friends. :D (We always go in as small group, partly because I fear drama. I heard about drama and endless drama involving endgame raid and I’m scared. The fight is very intense, and everyone could be on the verge of flipping shit. So I guess we kind of never wanted to struggle with recruiting more raid members ><;; You know, even with this tight-knitted, laid-back and light-hearted team, we yelled at each other or got pouty on occasions during Coil runs. We prevailed while managing to preserve good relationship only because we’re very close, whereas I don’t have the same confidence for loyalty and forgiveness from other people as I have with these guys. We’re also casual players and other average raid players won’t like us or our messy/random schedule, hahaha!)

We beat T12.

Yesterday we went back to face the Phoenix once again, unexpectedly. Well, Corn and Kuji might have expected it, but I thought we weren’t going, as Dew had to leave her house very early to take her mom to a doctor appointment, and PZ told me he wasn’t feeling well (so I shooed him to bed, before Corn logged in).

We ended up going anyway, at first Corn just wanted to go in as 4 people to try the “hot potato” strategy. We learned so much and we did much better after he explained some of the mechanics. It felt much easier when we knew (or at least were aware of) what to do.

Then, someone said wahhhh could have passed with 1 more person in the party. And Dew spotted PZ on FB and told me, so I asked him to come. We spent so much time melding up people (Corn had his lunch and melded for Dew at the same time lol) and eventually entered.

We wiped a lot and refined our strategies after each wipe. I was so excited to see so much improvement in a short period of time.

Below was the last battle pic I took on our successful attempt. I was too busy panicking healing people and passing the hot potato (Purgatory debuffs) and trying to stand in the Fountain, etc., and didn’t have enough brain to take more pics as Phoenix was dying. XD

And finally, the Phoenix was down.

We were rewarded handsomely with am epic, heartbreaking cutscene. *sob*

Off we go, to the last stage, the evil Bahamut awaits. Long story short, we didn’t win and disbanded a little before 4 a.m. Thailand time. LOL. We will try again later. We learned a lot already. :D
