I wore far too many of those subligar to ever mock anyone else for them.  Would also put in a request to show off Blue Mage and Corsair when they become available. You already said you're doing Dark Knight, so that would be all three of my former mains covered.

Keldulas posted:The sub job has to be leveled to that point, half level is just the cap. Not having a fully leveled sub job was a good way to not get picked up for a group, especially as a dime a dozen DPS. ...Or was a good way to get out of being requested/forced into a sub-optimal one. "Hey, Ms. 40 Corsair, can you sub /whm? We have a PL*, but would like some extra heals." "Nope, sorry, my whm is only 15. /dnc ok?" "......Yeah, sure. That's fine." *Party leveler; old school leveling would frequently have someone higher level outside the party who would heal/raise ppl and take aggro off high level stuff that wandered too close. And yes, this exchange was based off a actual party invite convo I had while leveling corsair. Melomane Mallet fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Jan 30, 2023 |

PurpleXVI posted:Huh, XI has more story depth than I expected. From all the tales of terror I kind of just expected a grindier Everquest. FF11 has some amazingly good stories; it's just that for most of it's existence it was locked behind horrible old school MMO grind.

Fat and Useless posted:It really kinda is pretty short even for being just the base game. The expansions get longer and longer as we go on and most of the story is connected so buckle up folks we just laid some groundwork. My understanding is that the first expansion was originally suppose to be part of the base game, but the second half got split off for reasons? Anyway, it's why both the base and RotZ are both so short. And yeah, the seam in the split gets obvious in retrospect. PurpleXVI posted:The soundtrack is really quite solid. We haven't even gotten to the majority of the good stuff yet.

Chillgamesh posted:Boy do I have fond memories of Chains. The boss fights were hard as hell. F&U is 100% not kidding about the music BTW, CoP's OST is aces. Yeah, personally, I'd put ToAH higher on the favorites list, but it's really close. Chains is still super awesome, even if I completed it before The Changes (for good, ftr), I am very glad it's so much more accessible now. Level capped *zones* anyone?  And the music is so good they named the entire NA concert tour after the ending theme!

PurpleXVI posted:Are there any quests involving the Archduke that disappear if you bonk him before doing them, or otherwise have weird things happen? Or does he mostly only pop up in the main questline? Just the main quests. The really amusing thing is starting Chains does not require having finished Rise of the Zilart. So you could be seeing these cutsceens *before* you've killed him.

There are four characters in FF11, I consider "My faves"; Prishe is the first, maybe!Zilart lady is the second, and the other two won't show up till Treasures of Aht Urhgan.

I didn't level BLM past subjob level, so she only showed up briefly in the Windrust branch of Wings of the Goddess, so I didn't have enough interactions with her to form an opinion.

Capital Letdown posted:"All right we got six people, all looking to do the battlefield, everyone ready?" I had an LS mate who wanted to get throught CoP; his initial shouts got about 15 ppl to join. The whole thing was, "we'll do the battlefields for you, but since we're meeting once a week, doing the cutscenes inbetween is on you." By the end it was him, me, and a friend of his from another LS and the three of us begging our friends/LS mates for help. Fat and Useless posted:Chapter 55: Fenrir I love Esha'ntarl; she's the best.

This is really kind of fascinating for me; I stopped playing before Rhapsodies was a thing, so I'm seeing a lot of new stuff which is... interesting in retrospect. Really want to see where these additions go.

Just catching up and 1: I had forgotten Shantotto was involved in this expansion at all because it's been so long; and 2: I said back during CoP I had four favorite characters--Prishe and Esha'ntarl and now we've met the other two - Aphmau and Luzaf (goddamn, I forgot how pretty that man is).
