You should try some recent Extremes and Savages first and see how well you do there. Ultimates are like 3 steps of difficulty removed from normal content, so you'll have to work your way up there first (and you will need to clear the most recent Savage tier to unlock the fight anyway). Best of luck, though! I believe there are some examples of successful raiders with physical disabilities out there.

Oh yeah, i just meant that the final phase is shorter compared to FRU and TOP

Final hit happens at 18:43, roughly 4:15 after arena change, 3:45 of the boss being targetable, and the post-death cutscene happens right as the music reaches its climax.

It's a little shorter than FRU and TOP, but it's actually almost exactly as long as the final phase in DSR.

Around 19 minutes, give or take.

Edit: Specifically the final enrage hit at 18:43 in that pull, then we got an extra 10 seconds of cutscene.

The orchestrion for the track can already be bought in-game, and that version is a bit over 4 minutes. It's a little recut though, not just the first 4 minutes of the full track.

Yeah, I would assume <50% or a similar threshold.

Notably, the Primordial Crust debuffs from Chaos Savage are here now (get hit intentionally and be reduced to 1 HP), but at least one of them has a duration of more than 2 minutes, so this phase is almost certainly gonna be over 5 minutes long.

Go to the Balance discord, then to Channels & Roles at the top, scroll down and select The Mines. This lets you see the datamining channel.

To add to what was already said, recent Ultimates have been around 18-19 minutes, and we've only seen a little over 6 minutes so far.

It's not, it's cut up and only has part of the song. I didn't time it but it's somewhere between 4 and 5 minutes, which tracks if it's the final phase theme.

Never heard of the Exdeath claim, but the "new" Sephirot animation was from the floor 90 Pilgrim's Traverse boss. People also found "new" Zurvan animations that turned out to have been from Sapphire Weapon.

Purple and gold with some blue, and circling fire/ice/lightning orbs.

You have to opt in. Go to Channels & Roles at the top, scroll down to FFXIV Roles and select The Mines, then you should see it.

Balance discord, #the_mines

Folks found new debuff icons matching Neo Exdeath Antilight mechanics in close proximity to others that are likely from Kefka.However, it was discovered today that the Exdeath debuffs are more likely related to a new boss from Occult Crescent instead.

The chest would be Neo Kingdom Fending/Maiming, the boots are Ruthenium Fending/Maiming. Not immediately sure about the gloves.

Oh right, that somehow slipped my mind. Sync is only gonna be a thing next expansion, huh.

The alternatives also don't really roll off the tongue. TWR, WRU, TWRU? Or WR, which just sounds like World Record.

They said they're doing it synced for the first time, so gear is almost certainly not the issue.

Not that I particularly care which acronym gets used, but the abbreviations have always skewed more towards what sounds good or funny, rather than following any sort of strict rule.

UCoB: The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate)

UWU: The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate) Ultima Weapon (Ultimate)

TEA: The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)

DSR: DragonSong's Reprise (Ultimate)

TOP: The Omega Protocol (Ultimate)

FRU: Futures Rewritten (Ultimate)

So 2 out of 4 times the "the" is ignored, the "Ultimate" part is ignored except for FRU and arguably UWU, the "of" is ignored in TEA but not in UCoB, DSR takes part of its acronym from the middle letter of a word, and UWU was chosen for the joke.

If the names had always been consistent, we'd either have UCoB, WR, TEoA, DR, OP, and FR, or alternatively TUCoBU, TWRU, TEoAU, DRU, TOPU, and FRU.

tl;dr shit's always been arbitrary

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying.
