a group of final fantasy 14 players are running an entire operation dedicated to breaking down the barriers between fans and the mmos most brutal contentultimate raids bring together highend bosses from a previous expansions campaign and raid content remixing it all into a gauntlet you must clear in one attempt its so tricky that developer square enix doesnt consider it progression content demanding completion to advance elsewhere but rather a spectacle for fans to gather around as the most hardcore among them race to be among the worlds first to complete itif you do fancy tackling the challenge youll likely be headed to the party finder feature to wrangle however many strangers needed to fill a team unless you have seven pals on standby a static as its known in final fantasy 14 it was there that the idea for the ulti project would come about with a player called sausage roll jumping in with their friends to help others complete ultimate raids for the first timewe did it mostly to sharpen classes apart from our main roles or simply because we wanted to hit the boss they tell me what really got me hyped up about it was the crazy reactions and popoffs people have when they finally clear so many different kinds of reactions i love it from there we were hookedfull partyimage credit square enixtwo years later the ulti project which you can find on discord has multiple groups working to a schedule to help one to three players at a time to get their first clear all for free alongside providing the bodies needed to do the raid they teach others how the mechanics work before and during the fightyoull need the benefit of timing to get involved however the ulti project runs at specific intervals throughout an expansions run operating in seasons to give helpers a chance to become familiar with the content first and fulfill personal obligations helping others clear final fantasy 14s ultimate and savagetier raids also gives everyone something to do when the mmo gets quiet time and time again we have seen players that were inexperienced or even new to the ultimate raids absolutely pop offthree seasons in with a fourth likely to start once patch 65 releases later this year the community has come together to run a smooth operation around helping others while carries are popular in other games sausage roll reckons the term doesnt apply here ultimate raids require each party member to carry out their duties while juggling myriad mechanics meaning theres little an experienced team can do to help you get that clear if you mess upi dont like seeing the ulti project as carrying since every player must perform the dance flawlessly they explain especially in the omega protocol ultimate if one person makes a mechanical error in the final phase its nearly impossible to recoverto me every single player that shows up prepared and performs the dance absolutely deserves
