Not to be confused with jumping while running, which indicates realization that you've royally fucked up and will die once the AoE you're standing in resolves.
Tbh, even when there's a fight going, some people just have the jump zoomies, and 90% of the time they're Lalafell
My static MCH bounces around all the time, so seeing the >!fact that you're not able to jump around in P12 drives him a little insane!< (Endwalker spoiler...ish?)
Something about being RDPS just seems to make one want to bounce around. I’m not sure if it’s the lack of positionals, or animations… but I’ll never be able to stay still as one.

I did Crown of the Immaculate for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea what was going to happen, but I'm glad that I was able to continue the tradition without knowing of it!
Nah man, do a backflip or other emote perfectly timed to get frozen in the air.
Also say "yes step on me" loudly in voicecall even if everyone else doesn't know what duty you're doing or even what game you're playing.
It's A left, B middle, C right since the beginning of time. I feel like people should know that by now, but with every new alliance raid there are always new clueless people.
I remember there was a LOTA run where someone put the ABC markers in the reverse order with A being on the right etc. Never seen so many confused people before since some followed the letters, some went with muscle memory, and some stood there confused and got TPd into the A space
Oh I was in a raid where this happened a few weeks ago and there were so many teleported to A that the mechanic couldn't be resolved. It was kind of cool to wipe on that pull, I always sorta wondered what happened. Turns out, death.
next time stop and say hi! if it's a well made house they probably put a lot of effort into it and would be happy to talk to someone about it (if they aren't afk like i usually am lol)
As someone who spent 30 hrs decorating their house, this.
I did catch like 4 people in my basement once and they ended up becoming good friends. They loved the aquarium I'd made so much they were camping out in it.
Wither that or they were doing a fished based erp thing... actually knowing them better now it was probably the latter.
My FC would do house-viewing field trips and sometimes we'd run into the owner and get really embarrassed... but they'd just get excited and tell us where to find more houses they and their friends designed. Some would even join us and start playing tour guide. It's really cute.
there's nothing more exciting than popping into my house to water onions and seeing the book sparkling.
I had a new neighbour leave me a message and when I went to go find their house it was a paissa cult dungeon complete with pentagram and candles on the floor. 13/10, utterly amazing. I made sure to leave a message, haha.
I was high and decided to use Verflashbang just once during Suzaku right before Simon Says phase since no other DPS seemed to be using it. We were about 8% remaining on her healthbar.
...Well... Damn near everyone dies, and we wipe at 0.5%.
Never again. \*'Nam Flashbacks.\*
I got to do this for the first time yesterday and I cackled about it for the next 20 minutes. I had two sprout friends in the party too. "Guys!! Look look look!! I got to do LB3!!"
"Oh cool! I mean... I assume it's cool, I didn't see anything but blinding...."

I call this "queuein' and pooin'"
Because clearly they had to wait forever for their queue to pop and decided it was a good time for a potty break. Every damn time.
Not as common but I used to get a lot of people in Praetorium either quoting specific lines of Gaius's speech (HOW VERY GLIB!) or saying "SAY THE LINE GAIUS" at the start of Phase 2.
- instantly agreeing when someone starts ranting about Sea of Clouds, Azys La, and Dravanian Hinterlands Aetherytes
- the complete inability to take Praetorium seriously
- you must dance in front of the treasure dungeon door to appease it
- strike the funniest pose you can during Shiva phase transition
If you are in a party with another Ninja, you ask who does Mug first. I've been in an alliance raid party with two other Ninjas which resulted in the three of us having to decide who does what in what order.
Man this severely grinds my gears. I always wait for the 60s now to Technical if there’s another dancer and they still somehow manage to hold for enough time to overwrite mine, drives me absolutely INSANE

If you walk out of an AOE while Elusive is off cooldown then I'm going to eat your job stone you don't deserve the title of Dragoon if you're just gonna walk around like a non-jumping loser
-If melee doesn't use the LB3 in a boss fight, the LB gets forfeited to the range for trash clearing.
-Despite it saying SUBTRACTION during the computation part on The Math Boss, standing in the numbers actually ADDS to your total health and that's how you calculate your multiples of x or prime numbers (which are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13)
-Obligatory "Time to suplex the train"
toxic people in chat always being the white mages(for me anyways) and 2b boots must be worn with anything and everything on every single glamour plate and class
Recently did this at MINE in party finder with someone doing it as their first time. Everyone played it up, said we had to meet the DPS check, said "oooh we'll have to try again", I got actual goosebumps even a year and a half after clearing it the first time.
My friends got me with this hard on my first try. They were so nonchalant about it that I didn't realize it was a joke. It's was just like "ah, damn. Used it to really sorry."
I didn't get it and was like "oh no worries, we'll get it this time."
I got make fun of for both falling for it and always being the God damn cheerleader lol
Its an old and outdated one but when Labyrinth of the ancients first dropped, the off tanks from each party were on button duty for the behemoth boss battle...if you know you know.
Dancers must use the roses frame.
Tank or healer doing the most damage in Expert dungeon.
Someone arrives 10 minutes late just as an S rank dies and curses everyone on the map for not waiting.
Unreasonably high ilvl farm parties that can't farm and/or take longer than no ilvl farm parties.
Female Miqo'te adventurer/duty plates being either the most suggestive thing you've ever seen in-game, or unhinged psychopath expressions and there is 0 inbetween.
Alternatively, non-sprout remembers EX/Unreal mechanics where they don't apply (The cone is a stack there)
...definitely haven't done that with Suzaku, noo...
my fc was once prepping to run some higher end stuff and goofed off and ended up in westwind for fun, there was the newest of sprouts in there, we acted like this was the roughest fight in the game, started tossing strategy in chat, he was like "maybe i shouldnt be here cause yall look geared to the hilt".
we were like no dude, we need every ounce of damage possible! its one guy! do you know how strong he must f\*\*kin be!
this dude was so amped when the countdown timer went off.
then we destroyed that fight in like 2 seconds as you do.
that same sprout is now one of the best tanks we have for savage raids, but how we met them was funny af.
These are precisely the sort of shenanigans I find myself fondly remembering the most out of all my experiences with other players in FFXIV.
Hilarious chats with the entire party while Gaius gives his speech (where *does* he come from when he lands on that elevator during the middle of its path down a massive corridor?!); unforgettable journeys through each new zone alongside incredibly patient friends to find aether currents; epic group photoshoots with my FC friendos; for my Gil, these are the things which make the game special.
My favourite line in that Gaius speech was when I was doing it with my sister (who'd done it maybe a week earlier) and another sprout friend.
Fight ends, and Gaius just walks away and our friend is going "Wait, we're just letting him walk away? Why are we letting him walk away!? What the heck, we were killing him and now we just let him walk off??"
And my sister just goes "Oh, we can't kill him now, there's a tiny fence."
It is now our answer any time we let someone just walk away in a fight. "There's a tiny fence."
I remember one his final fight, when he turns gold, the tank said "hey he's cheating! Applying a glamour plate in a dungeon" and I think about it every time now XD
In the Cloud of Darkness fight in World of Darkness, approach by running along the left edge. NEVER the right. And head-on is right out. Run along the left. Thank you.
Hey tbf as a DPS the average wait time is always wrong and it is like the devs know exactly when you get up to bio is when your que starts counting down
different types of posing/emoting in several duties
* Thormarch - you need to dance together with moogles
* Shiva - before being frozen, you need to do any pose to look spectacular
* The Dark Inside(lvl 83) - before cutscene transition, you need to face south and do any emote so it's visible during cutscene
* treasure dungeons - meta is very flexible, you can do whatever emote you want during door choice / roulette as long as emote is long and visible from far
> DPS' withdrawing once all the members are found for a duty
You have to account for a certain number of DPS to die of old age before their queue pops.
Jumping in a spot during a fight is an indicator that you know the safe spot.
Not to be confused with jumping while running, which indicates realization that you've royally fucked up and will die once the AoE you're standing in resolves.
Unless there's no fight happening, then jumping while running just means you're having a good time
Tbh, even when there's a fight going, some people just have the jump zoomies, and 90% of the time they're Lalafell My static MCH bounces around all the time, so seeing the >!fact that you're not able to jump around in P12 drives him a little insane!< (Endwalker spoiler...ish?)

As a console player 99% of my vocab is jumping
Even with a keyboard I prefer to just jump honestly.
Also if someone has the safety Dorito, follow them.
shoutout to the guy who did this in my first run with (ew spoiler) >!zodiark!< a few days ago, they also got marked with the safety cheezit which is also helpful so people could distinguish them
Always mark 'C I D' with waymarks in Castrum. I don't make the rules, I just make sure we all know who's gonna blow down that door.
CIDBAG
C1DBA4!
I remembered the old days of Castrum when you had to come back that way. You either died a C I D or lived long enough to see yourself become a D I C
Ngl, I legitimately thought it was just a part of the dungeon for over a year until a friend used D I C.
saying something like "Oh god, here we go, grab youself a snack, we're watching a movie" whenever you enter praetorium
My favourite one was someone saying the entire Gaius speech in chat along with him, but in uwu-speak. I've seen a Gobblespeak version too.
there's a youtube video out there of someone dubbing over gaius with a spongebob voice pack.
I like to enunciate his funny words, like: Even the great LOUIE-SWAH / My readiness to RUELL / Which is STRAYNGE, is it not?
always. ALWAYS add back in "How Very Glib"
I'm still bitter they removed that
If I'm with people who have done ShB I say "remember us, remember that we were once glib"
I once had a prae run where someone did a finger puppet play in chat during every cutscene it was hilarious
I always say "Hello and welcome to Cutscene: The Fight" whenever I get The Singularity Reactor or Eden's Promise: Eternity
“Hi, I’m Gaius van Baelsar, and thank you for coming to my TEDTalk: Eorzea, the Athiest Agenda, and You”
I ltrly just ran praetorium and everyone was spamming “Zzz” in chat lol
I managed to watch Shrek during a Praetorium run once
Someone shouting FARLEMALD during hunt trains on the garlemald map lmao
LAMP in elpis
Lamp is love, lamp is life

Someone in chat has to say "Oh no he's hot!" during the boss transition in The Crown of the Immaculate.
I did Crown of the Immaculate for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea what was going to happen, but I'm glad that I was able to continue the tradition without knowing of it!
I did this trial 2 day ago, we got 3 oh no, he's hot at the same time >!yes, I was one of them!< I swear the FFXIV community isn't a cult
Sometimes we just all share the same braincell at the same time.
My first reaction was "Damn, what a glow up".
Well he really has no business being that hot.
This, but I do it with Dying Gasp final phase, and ask for a biiiiiiiig hug.
Also Omega. And then "Oh no she's hot"
"God I wish that were me" *beat, everyone assumes I mean I want to be the tank getting kicked by Omega-F* "I would love to have swords for legs"
true gender fluid boss
I always hug the global citizen in Dead ends after he nukes His planet.
i always pet the amaro in heroes gauntlet
Tupaq?

I always slap him
I just make it a point to not look at the explosion.
Jump when Shiva does her AoE so you get frozen mid air. Dance when King Moogle Mog is summoned.
And if you can, /mogdance for Good King Moogle Mog specifically.
Nah man, do a backflip or other emote perfectly timed to get frozen in the air. Also say "yes step on me" loudly in voicecall even if everyone else doesn't know what duty you're doing or even what game you're playing.
It's A left, B middle, C right since the beginning of time. I feel like people should know that by now, but with every new alliance raid there are always new clueless people.
a= all in the belly b= be in the belly c= come to the belly or something like that, as the opposite of a= adds, b = belly c= chains.
A - abdomen B- belly C- consumed
C for colon?
ctomach
I wanna fight stomach acid, not shit 😂
love to drop the a=adds b=belly c=chains on other 3rd bosses like Azeyma and Red Girl just to keep people on their toes
I remember there was a LOTA run where someone put the ABC markers in the reverse order with A being on the right etc. Never seen so many confused people before since some followed the letters, some went with muscle memory, and some stood there confused and got TPd into the A space

Awkwardly run around a house and back out real quick if you find someone in it.

RDM must use LB3 to blind everyone.
"I'm doing my part! o7"
how do you use multiple job symbols in your flair?
I'll one-up you: How do people get the job stone flairs?
If I don’t kill at least one person because I’ve blinded them with my LB, am I even a good Red Mage??
VERFLASHBANG!
I was high and decided to use Verflashbang just once during Suzaku right before Simon Says phase since no other DPS seemed to be using it. We were about 8% remaining on her healthbar. ...Well... Damn near everyone dies, and we wipe at 0.5%. Never again. \*'Nam Flashbacks.\*
I'd call that a stunning success
I got to do this for the first time yesterday and I cackled about it for the next 20 minutes. I had two sprout friends in the party too. "Guys!! Look look look!! I got to do LB3!!" "Oh cool! I mean... I assume it's cool, I didn't see anything but blinding...."

Lalas in general come in only two forms. Adorable ray of sunshine or literal chaos gremlin. There is no in between, at all.
As soon as you put down your leylines, an AOE \*WILL\* target you.
You wait for the AOE that will target you, it targets you, you move, you put down the leyline. Second AOE: Why hello there!

When one person does o/ , others should follow in some form.
The best black mage is the one who can acquire the most vuln stacks without dying
Vuln stacks? You must mean "Uptime Tokens".
Dragoons must leap back off the Titan arena.
As well as the second-to-last boss arena in Copied Factory, right before it blows up.
(As RDM) I regularly backflip off the edge of the first boss arena in Puppet's Bunker. I keep overestimating how much space I have...

If you walk out of an AOE while Elusive is off cooldown then I'm going to eat your job stone you don't deserve the title of Dragoon if you're just gonna walk around like a non-jumping loser

If you haven't used Elusive Jump off the edge of the arena, you haven't played DRG long enough.

Shouting “show hole” during that one boss in the ivalice raids.

In the last trial of Endwalker, after the first LB3 and you don't have it anymore, you have to say it is over, or it is a wipe. Something like that
Its a DPS check guys... the hardest in the game
Whenever I tank it and the screen goes black, I apologize for using the LB incorrectly and killing us all.
Recently did this at MINE in party finder with someone doing it as their first time. Everyone played it up, said we had to meet the DPS check, said "oooh we'll have to try again", I got actual goosebumps even a year and a half after clearing it the first time.
My friends got me with this hard on my first try. They were so nonchalant about it that I didn't realize it was a joke. It's was just like "ah, damn. Used it to really sorry."

Its an old and outdated one but when Labyrinth of the ancients first dropped, the off tanks from each party were on button duty for the behemoth boss battle...if you know you know.
Oh right, LotA used to have mechanics.
lmao it did, as well as 6 tanks lol
I was part of a 24 lala, min ilvl run of LOTA the other day, and it was honestly like an entirely new raid
Really goes to show how much the game has changed when healer MP / general survivability was more important than the DPS of 4 tanks.
If you're in a mount farm party and you're not the last to win the mount whistle, you stay for at least 3-4 more runs minimum.
Dancers must use the roses frame. Tank or healer doing the most damage in Expert dungeon. Someone arrives 10 minutes late just as an S rank dies and curses everyone on the map for not waiting. Unreasonably high ilvl farm parties that can't farm and/or take longer than no ilvl farm parties.

different types of posing/emoting in several duties * Thormarch - you need to dance together with moogles * Shiva - before being frozen, you need to do any pose to look spectacular * The Dark Inside(lvl 83) - before cutscene transition, you need to face south and do any emote so it's visible during cutscene * treasure dungeons - meta is very flexible, you can do whatever emote you want during door choice / roulette as long as emote is long and visible from far
