FFXIV Forked Tower: Blood Clear All Bosses PLD and Phantom Knight POV 21:9 Ultrawide

NOTE: Run doesn't properly start until 7:50! Skip to then to avoid the pre-pull organization and waiting.

A Forked Tower: Blood Clear PoV of myself playing Paladin + Phantom Knight. This particular run was a "boss rush" that skipped all optional rooms and loot in the interest of time. The run host and shot-caller was Ruby Xena from the ABBA (Aether Bozja and Baldesion Arsenal) discord community, located here:

My first clear upload was on Phantom Samurai so I wanted to record another job for own archival purposes.

Unfortunately, due to this run being a boss rush, we only obtained 15 Sanguinite currency as opposed to 30 total for clearing. The time save of roughly 10 minutes was not worth cutting half of the reward (especially since we needed to wait a long time anyway), but it's what the achievement grinders want so we must cooperate.

This clear was after the 7.2x hotfixes to add an alliance queue and reduce wait time to enter Forked Tower on a fresh instance. While I am glad that these fixes reduce the amount we waste prior to each run, the rest of my design complaints with FT and Occult Crescent still stand. This raid is OK but it's still a step down from XIV's regular battle content releases for many reasons
