Final Fantasy 14 had its latest Ultimate raid released this week, and there's already a controversy. In case you're completely unfamiliar, Ultimate raids are the biggest endgame challenge an Eorzean can tackle—tough fights that can take months to learn and beat for your average joe. World-first raiders dedicated enough to block off an entire week are a lot faster, but even then, Ultimates are still gruelling gauntlets meant to test their mettle. Teams, called 'statics', assemble and pull long shifts to take them on, sacrificing sleep and sanity to be the first to do so.
All this to say, they're a task worthy of a race to world first. The 'victors' this time were GRIND, according to MogTalk's Frosty, who tracks the world's first races. GGs were given to the undisputed champions, and—wait, hold on, what's that pixel in the middle of the screenshot?
