  • Freaking amazing fight and song!!!! FFXI = Epic!!!

  • Holy shit the audio in this video is HQ. Good fucking job.

  • i dont think fighting's the best way to earn friends

  • This is awesome :D

  • Dang...so this what 3-D Alexander looks like. Totally epic.

  • Boring

    

  • man good old times.. I remember tanking this guy as PLD all the time, was such a hard yet epic battle though

  • I wish I can play mine but I need a playonline account and I dont got the money :(

  • that music is hot. what is it?

  • @LonewolfCrystal Ragnarok

  • why doesnt it attack?

  • Alexander looks really awesome, but I prefer to keep him in the usual lighter tones.. makes him look more "holy". xD

    ~Fallen

  • This game closed my fawking account for no reason. Idk why, i was only lvl 11 ;-; and the next day..."your account has been closed".............WHAT THE HELL?

  • Judgement light ftw

  • ima be starting this game soon, anyone cool who wants to hang send me a message or some mail and ill add you once i get the hang of it ^-^

  • If you come to the Seraph Server of FFXI (Or the Bismark Server after the Merge) look for Meko Lau, Leader of the Hero of Vana'diel linkshell.

  • What weapon is that BLM using? or is it a dat mod of normal staffs?

  • yeah def a mod lol I've been playin the game since day one and never heard or saw anything like that...

  • It was a decent fight (did die the first try but we beat it on #2 if I recall), I remember mostly just liking the music lol

  • I havent been able to beat this yet....im on Asura. What server are you guys on? Great job btw

  • i love this fight, so intense, and its not that easy to win, you need a very good team! love the song too!

  • The fight looks so unimpressive. I remember fighting Promathia, and the epitome of FF11 for me: Apocalypse Nigh. Have they made anything even remotely equivalent to that?

  • @Cyanidesin Yeah Alexander fight "looks" very unimpressive. However, Promathia and Apocalypse Night are total joke of a fight as long as you know what you are doing. Alexander on the other hand, can be annoyingly hard depend on what and who you go in with.

  • Have they made a new fight with the scope of "Apocalypse Nigh" ?

  • @Neosaigo I agree. My party downed Promathia on our dry run, lol. I have never fought Alexander though. Looks fun and the music is Great! Very nice video as well!

  • My comrades and I are 0/4 on this..As if the the first two bosses arent hard enough, Alexander is mega tough

  • Thinkin' about if I should buy this... Is it worth the money????

  • If ya want the story then ya...played it for 2 years jus for that...otherwise with the new FF online incoming...id say no :P

  • the game itself is fkin awesome... however... not enough people play it because its a hardcore rpg players game... if more played yes.... but with the way the game is now, unless ur extreamly hardcore its not worth your time

  • FFXI is a community based game. All of your leveling will be done in a party with others. NO quest/missions to gain exp/levels. Compared to all other MMO's FFXI is the most time consuming.

  • Rangarok!? Thats the ultimate fire move in the RPG Persona 3.

  • Ragnarok is the Norse version of Armageddon.

  • nice dude nice video

  • hopefully in Final Fantasy XIV you dont have to pay monthly or else it'll be the same as other mmo.

  • man i want to play this game but i cant afford the payment every month :(

  • Epic fight tbh.

    WoW sucks.

    FFXI > WoW.

  • preaching to the retarded choir, imo

  • @VolfieldPTRS Erm are you insane? First off, WoW has proper voiced cut-scenes and voice overs in various areas of the game. Also WoW didn't make mistakes like the warden which I hear took WAY too long to beat. Also travel in WoW is a lot simpler, you didn't need a pass to board the deeprun or ride a zep...There's other things that I can't think of at the moment, but yea in spite of being a RPG-focused company, Squeenix can't make a proper good MMO...

  • @mattwo7 Nice job replying to a 1 year old comment, butthurt ftw?

  • @VolfieldPTRS Not butthurt, just surprised at the ignorance some people have...

  • @mattwo7 Why so serious little WoW Fanboy? FFXI Sucks and so does WoW claiming one is better then the other is like saying Horse shit tastes better then Cow shit.

  • @BWDKoryuu For the record I'm not a WoW fanboy. Also you're right.

  • I'm assuming that you've only done kara or started playing WoW since the WOTLK expansion. As someone who has finished CoP, ToAu, gotten to the 3rd tier of the Dynamis bow ,obtained 4/5 of the sky gods equipment and a member of one of the few guilds that completed the sunwell raid during BC. I'd have to say you are full of crap. Maybe if you've done a real fight like M'uru then maybe you would've know how it really works. If you plan to tell me M'uru is easier, name one FF fight that is harder.

  • Sorry, FFXI is harder, its easier to screw up/lose the harder fights in FFXI, Most of WoW's fights have devolved into brutal rage timer checks, or "hard mode" faster rage timer checks.

    Sunwell was pretty tough, but all they really did up until Kiljaeden was boost the required amounts of dps to more ridiculously high amounts that most people couldn't keep up with. Kil'jaeden, now he was an awsome fight.

    Omega/Ultima when they first came out, brutally hard, brutally fun.

  • um but dood warcraft isnt very strategic i mean you dont even have to move for a fucking fight you stand there like a butthole clikcing shit or keybord w.e it is most of the fight is tank and spank and a pally to heal you thats about it

  • Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden

    Without using cheats, exploits, hacks, or tird party programs has never been done, so i'd say they're harder. And they're both Final Fantasy Fights

    kthnxbye

  • your a fukn dumbass there not bcnms.

  • Pandemonium Warden was beaten without hacks, or exploits. It was posted on the Playonline website.

  • AV has been done. Kthx fail.

  • Also... there arent any "cheats, exploits, hacks, or third party programs" that would ever help with those fights.

    Only POS would be useful and it's been patched/fixed. Flee tool could help, however during an AV or PW fight you would be banned instantly.

    ANYWAYS.. he also said BCNM, or 'instance' so.. You're full of fail.

  • I agree that FFXI is a harder game. All I am saying is that WoW bosses require more strategy in the fact that every boss gimmick is different.

  • please do notice. mobs in the later high lvl area are kinda like a normal boss step to the raid bosses in wow.

    and if you don't pay attention that good you gonna die. and you gonna hate to die as you can level down in this game

  • how do u stop holy judgement?

  • hey i seen a char creation vid and it had some big muscle guy can i play as him? and does he get warrior armour like those guys too?

  • Yeah, hes called a galka but honestly its what job you pick you can wear any types of those armor (Job Specific). For example Artifact armor is only armor for ONE job like paladin

  • no offense  to Wow playes but Wow is way more neardy and crappy than final fantasy 11 because of graphics and plot.

  • I agree but plot and graphics have not all that much to do with it although i agree with you completely. FFXI is much more Strategic, SC, MB, etc. It requires much more skill than WoW, and i believe that that is what separates FFXI from WoW.

  • As much as I love FFXI, it is definitely not more strategic than WoW. WoW raid boss are a thousand times more strategic than FFXI's battles, but FFXI is a great game anyway. I like it more than WoW.

  • the bosses are so much harder on ffxi which gives it a better feeling over wow and wow sucks anyway

  • the strategies for WoW bosses are hard if you have the mind of a 3 year old...

    FFXI bosses require much stricter timing especially on usage of 2 hours, potions, etc since you cant just spam heals etc like in WoW

  • As someone who's played both, I'll just have to come along and say you're pretty much full of shit.

  • I'm going to guess you never raided in WoW or did endgame in FFXI either. Timing on potion and 2 hour usage... yeah, no.

  • FFXI: RoZ and CoP full clear. Most of the fights in CoP were a joke. Mind, I did this back in 2007 when the content was actually new. Had sea access way before most of the players on my world (Hades).

    WoW: I'm also fully geared in T8.5 gear in Ulduar too.

    So yeah, you're pretty much full of shit.

  • 2007 is new? hahahha, I had this stuff done in 2004/5, FFXI is FAR harder than WoW... and here is why, WoW's stupid rage timers have made every boss into a simple burn fight, oh they have little gimmicks that result in instant death if you do it wrong, that doesn't make it hard. Just means morons can fuck it up for you.

    What? burn faster, ok, not fast enough? ok, stay in for more damage, and burn even faster, ok!

  • LMAO!!!!! the only reason bosses in wow are "strategic" is because they move in a faster real time environment. FFXI bosses aren't usually a 5 min enrage timer. they are a 10-15 min endurance fight. which means 10 min worth of work and 10 sec worth of screw up all work is lost. not too mention the consequences of delvling for fubaring your role. keep trying to compare wow to this it'll never be in the same class.

  • Before WoW, FFXI was the most played MMO in the world.

    I must say, I love FFXI more. But, both are a lot of fun. xD

  • i agree too. Cuz the Japanese gaming are better than americans

  • I bet you watch your anime subbed, too.

    kawaii desu desu desu ne

  • sumthin "cute" rite or is it "u are very very cute" am i rite and yes i do watch anime subbed....sumtimes

  • totemo totemo totemo kawaii desu ne?

  • you so don't need a tank for this dude, 3x sam 1rdm 2blm and we Destroyed it.

  • wait she die at the end?

  • Nice im getting ready to kill Alexander with ls im a pally 75

  • im playing this game at the moment but the quests are so much more harder to find than wow but i really love it! know of any place i could get help for some quests that i cant find? ~X~ p.s love this battle scene its awesome!

  • YOu can buy it on alot of online sites.. and yeah.. its worth playing just for the story lol.. its soo sweet :D

  • Love this game and hopefully gonna play it again soon.For those curious this game has a pretty solid community, but is harder than a lot of other mmos, and requires patience. But it's soooooo worth it. Game is fun.

  • also plenty of storyline.

  • ya but waiting for next update to continue the story sucks

  • Can you still play this game? Anywhere i can possible buy it online and download it? Can't seem to find the game at any of my local stores :(

  • It's for PC, PS2 and 360. You should be able to find the Vanadiel Collection 08 for $20 or DL the PC version off of the official site through Direct2Drive.

  • BTW this song rocks... FFXI alots better than wow, especialy for the Plot, in wow there's none, grphics are better in FFXI... Pretty please... send me a coppy XD ( O_O where on the earth am gonna find back FFXI? )

  • I miss so bad that game... i don't have it anymore =/ ... For now i play "WoW"... its so wow... *sigh* is there any place i could buy this game with expensions?

  • best buy or order from amazon

  • alexander should be bigger O_O!

  • If only it was free to play with a cash shop. =[

  • The Cash Shop idea seems like a good idea on paper but when you consider the massive amount of people on this game, the rare equips would be common and everyone would be overpowered. If they were to implement a CS they would need to redo just about every job/equip for balance so that the ppl that camped a monster for 13 hours has an advantage over someone with a little extra in their bank. This game is hardcore, you character is a reflection of your time and work.

  • @CBDK8009 I disagree with that. Some people have time, others money. Let the two be of equal value.

  • the song made me remember of chrono trigger XD

  • not sure if this has been said before, but the battle is much easier if you tank is outside of Alexander's melee range. have your other DDs stand away from your tank, so they wont get hit from unnecessary AoE. our setup was: pld/rdm, rdm, whm, smn, cor, sam, and we went 1/1. had about 45secs remaining, but still a win is a win.

  • the hardness on this fight makes up for the rest of toau fights i am 1/1 on them all but this

  • SkyRitter, the FFXI it's online dude

  • Yes. the battles in 12 are much faster. Like the boss with FIFTY MILLION HP.

    I'd rather play FFXI over most RPGs anyday. Just cause of the involving plots.

  • My fixe time won 3 years ago 1/1 with pld,whm,blm,blm,sam,mnk

  • What was your party setup?

    My static have gone in 11 times and failed at every attempt, and our setup was WAR, WAR, PLD, BLM RDM WHM

  • looks like Pld, Sam, Brd, Drk, Blm, Whm

  • looks more like pld, sam, brd, drk, blm and rdm cause of dia III

  • We went PLD WHM SAM SAM BLM RDM.

    2 tries and we got it

  • Is it normal for Alexander to be so... Shrunken?

  • thats just because the person recording is keeping his distance if you look at the people attacking with weapons you can see he is more then twice the size of a player character

  • Its the spirit of Alexander in this machine, the real Alexander is broken in 5 pieces someday in history, now known as the Alzadaal ruins

  • Explains the gears in the floor and the power conductor pillars.

  • wow, alexander looks cool. it's a pity that in my country they don't run a server for this game, otherwise i've bought it already.

  • the servers are mixed theres no japanese/euro/american servers if you can buy an english version and pay via credit card you can play

  • Can someone reupload the song or tell me where I can get it? I love it

  • Best fight and music ever took my party 2xs and we mana-burned it :D

  • why dont u use BST?

  • Why do i see Alexander appear with like 40% HP or less?...

  • O_O if only it was a summon

  • Odd...I always thought Alexander would be bigger...I mean isn't he supposed to be a giant moving city???

  • lmao well not here xD

  • -_- but but but

  • not his real body, just a puppet

  • AH! That would explain a lot then heheh Thanks :D that totally clears that up!

  • I just beat this pigly som B after 5 tries!!! He used his 2 hour and didn't kill anyone first time then killed almost everyone second time...got him to 1% with bio on wiped then as I got up to get MP to nuke he died XD

    For anyone who wants to know

    ~Kahnya of Cerberus

  • this is prolly one of my most fav Fights in the game :D I love the last part with axleander its balls to the wall at the end the 3 times i've done this we made it with 1-2 min to spare lol

  • i got goosebumps when i saw odin getting summoned, soooo disapointed us summoners still cant use him /sigh/

  • I want to play this, but I have to pay money ;_;

  • Why do i get thumbs down ? :S I just said it and people know it, I like final fantasy ffs :S

  • Because some people are jackasses that give comments thumbs down at the slightest negative thing they see. This thumbs up/down system has to be one of the stupidest things that YouTube made.

  • the link to the song doesnt work DX.

    PLEASE, some one give me the name of the song, or a link ; ;

  • on AltanaView the songs name is "Ragnarok - Battle with Alexander" so it's either that or just Ragnarok

  • u look awesome. nice fight

  • The Cutscene after this is one of the best I've seen

  • Man.. I loved this fight..

    Gives a real kick to tank this thing ^^

  • WoW is fast but I like FFXI to its feel and I don't think Final Fantasy ABS Was fast at all, plus slow gives some time to think instead of WoW were alot of battles are over in mins I like to savor the battle not devour it in seconds.

  • i play ffxi as well and while i can appreciate an epic battle... fighting the same mob for near an hour is ridiculous. i have other things to do in my life...

  • why WoW is childish compared to FFXI. the reason why FFXI is slow is because it gives the player time to think and enjoy the game where as WoW its more fast based and everything almost comes to you on a plate saying "eat me"; this meaning the exp from quest.

  • Taking its time is what makes all the FF games so good. I have never had more fun than the 30min battle I had against the behemoth king in FF12.

  • FFXI is slower because its a console game, WoW is a PC game, PC only games are always faster.

  • hmmm i love the promathia fight theme but this one's kick ass too! They're both deffinitly the best last boss themes

  • how does the leveling work in this game? is it similar to WOW like up to certain level? what about the fighting is it really slow and what about the command keys in the video i dont see any symbols or anything indicating an ability? and the armor how come almost everybody looks the same with like cloth armor? in anybodys opinion is it better than wow or whats the deal? i bought the game and i havent had had the time to install it and just wanted someones opinon.

  • Some answers in order : 1)lvling is a total grindfarm, but your forced to play in group to level (with exceptions) and quest don't give exp 2) The fight here is slow because this is a particular fight, usually is more active 3)the armor looks the same because.. are the same. There's many other armor avaiable who those ppls don't using in thit time 4) Wow and this are completly different. And regarding no icon of ability, is because the interface isn't point-and-click but with a menu or macro

  • hey. im not sure if i should get this game or not. help me!

  • I would say if your not willing to put alot of work in then do not even bother. This game is a hell of alot of fun once you get p to end game. Im not trying to discourage you but this game takes alot of time and patience. The ffxi community is great and most people are very mature compared to a game like WoW.

  • I agree on that, I had a friend who played WoW and FF at the same time, He went to put something up for alittle under the normal price and some guy started yelling at 'im cause he did it. (on WoW of course, all of us on FF just complain about rmts)

  • Very cool, love the Dune music for the credits :D

  • god, i miss this game...

    stoped playin after i hit 61 with my pally...

    that was over 2 years ago...

    :_( dunno if my toon even exsist anymore

  • i just started playing again after 2½ years man.. and they let me restore my character. you have to have your old reg codes, at least one of them.  everything was there down to the last earth crystal.

  • :D Best song in FFXI.

    Best fight in FFXI.

    I loved this :( i sort of miss it now ive kicked his ass...

    great vid :)

  • why is this video on you tube twice someone els has this up loded 2 so who actualy owns the video?

  • I (Vandyr) uploaded it and then Keisho uploaded it. Keisho was in my linkshell when this video was made, but the video was actually made by Terenyx.

    Technically, neither me nor Keisho owns this video, but since I was actually there for the fight, in the party, with the maker of the video, it makes a little more sense for me to host it than Keisho. ;P

  • whats the music at the end from? o.0 just curious

  • Ok I was able to find the song. Just google search for music187.mp3

  • Wow, you fought Raubahn there? Every time I fought him we took him to off to the left or right.

  • The link for the music source is broken. Can you fix it? I'd love to get this song.

  • XD to the question you ask in the video at the begining my answer is: " I only fight for myself" nice video mate

  • Excellent Job. Just showing some love for cerberus. Send me a tell man.

    Gravity

    75NIN 75THF

  • ~Sniff~ Poor Alexander!

  • That what i was thinking, damn, i need to figure out how to do that, the staffs look flippin awesome :P

  • I should probably know, but i dont, what kind of staffs are the blm and the rdm using?

  • Theyre regular ele staves, but someone just played with the .dats a bit to make them look a lil different on their screen. =)

  • dude omfg that same had an aces helm... theres like a few on garuda now

  • Nice shield bash! xD

    I'm surprised your PLD didn't straight tank it. Our tank just stood there with full resistance gear, while the rest of us starting effin' it up bolt by bolt.

  • This fights so epic and such a pain XD

  • I still on that Anmaj fight. Haven't tried again since they added it.

  • I don't know what it is about this song, but it just fucking rocks! Maybe because, to me, it finally sounds like a song used for a final boss, in comparison to all the other great games. :D

  • FFXI has always had epic music for it's boss fights. It's one of the reasons I'm still playing after 5 years.

  • I think this is on Fairy server

  • Cerberus. Check my YouTube account info for details.

  • I loved this battle, and especially the music. I've been looking all over for the track. Thanks for posting!

  • this is the cerberus server, i have seen demonsparta. i am vandan, samurai

  • Vandan orz!!!! sup. It's Gravity.

  • whose the dead guy at the begibibg?  raibann or something? is he npc guard? i am sam/war does third eye block any of alexanders attcks?

  • my party was BLM/WHM, WHM/BLM, RDM/WHM, PLD/WAR, SAM/WAR (me), and BLU/WHM. We came down to the wire, 2 minutes left on the clock, Alexander was about to spam his final use of Divine Judgement (I think that's what it is) and I slammed Tachi: Gekko ftw.

  • lvoe this fight good music one of teh tuffest in tehg ame but so worht it

  • Fun fight, had the BGM stuck in my head since I beat the battle...

    Sucks, the .BGW is encoded in a way that not even winamp's codec can read... Has something to do with the way SE Encoded the ATRAC3 with some Autherization code that POL has. I don't undersand why though... Probably so they sell more copies of the OST when it comes out. :/

  • There IS something for winamp that can play the bgw files. I can't remember what it's called anymore but try googling awhile.

  • I already looked, and downloaded the codec. It doesnt work, and on threads I've looked at, ppl can't crack it. The ToAU BGW's are encoded differently than the original game's BGW's.

  • A link to the music source can be found in the info for the video.

  • I really want this song on my iPod lol.

  • Amazing fight.

    Cutscene after was amazing, so sad :(

  • ok! I want to know where the cool looking staves came from o.O

  • The staff the blm uses is a graphic .dat mod that they use. Send me PM if you want a link to a site that has it up for download.

  • Yes, it was.

  • amazing! was this song the actual battle music?
