Welcome to my Notion site where I compile resources for players looking to do high-end content (especially Ultimate Raids) in the Japanese (Formerly Mana) Data Center.
Doing Ultimate raids via Party Finder in the Japanese Data Center (referring to Mana, Gaia, and Meteor) has not been prevalent until Patch 6.5, where people have started compiling and growing a consensus over strategies to use. Lily Doll has graciously contributed to the PF Ultimate scene by compiling the commonly accepted strategies for each raid and these are updated on her FFXIV Lodestone blogs based on the reception of the Party Finder.
Feel free to try out these strategies with your static! It is recommended to have a solid understanding of the ultimate raids before transitioning to Mana PF strategies, some of which are vastly unique compared to other Data Centers with mostly English speaking raiders.
As of 7.5, the game now allow players to match with others within the same region, meaning that players in the Elemental Data Center no longer have to go through the painful task of DC travelling to do content on the JP DCs. This, however, creates more of a need for ALL players to actually READ and UNDERSTAND the strategies posted in the PF. PLEASE make sure that you read the description so that you are not griefing the party and potentially get blacklisted.
