FF14: Omega (fatal) defeated – was the kill cheated?
The ultimate trials are among the toughest challenges in the online role-playing game Final Fantasy 14. The best raid groups in the world have to prove what they’re made of in several phases and with a battle duration of well over 15 minutes. The title of World First Kill is all the more coveted.
The race was also fought with great determination in the new ultimate fight “The Omega Protocol”, which was released on January 24, 2023, and was followed live on Twitch by tens of thousands of viewers worldwide. Finally it was Raid group named “Unnamed”, who claimed the win. Just hours before the weekly server reset, they managed to complete all six phases in full.
Originally it was assumed that the fifth phase, attended by most raid groups had lost their teeth for a long time, be the last. It was a real surprise when Nevermind, the winners of the Dragon War (fatal) race, eventually reached the sixth stage first. However, the surprise was even greater when the group arrived just a few hours later Unnamed had already completed this sixth phase.
allegations from the community
After the fans a video of the raid group on YouTube, accusations increased that Unnamed had used banned programs to facilitate this victory. So they used a program that allows you to zoom out far from the fight and another that shows the exact hitboxes of the opponents.
Even though Final Fantasy 14 (buy now €21.99 )üdoes not have anti-cheat software, such programs are prohibited under the User Agreement. in one official statement the raid group admitted to using such software. However, one was probably under the assumption that something like this was normal in such races.
There are also voices from the community that something like this would actually be used by many groups. Since most of these programs are not visible in the official kill videos or streams, it is difficult to prove. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida has not yet commented on the incidents. To avoid unfair competition, however, he has long refrained from congratulating such kills on Twitter.
