Had a funny moment yesterday in #FFXI I was on my main (Khajit) in a sortie pickup and the Japanese were lamenting that that cool Corsair Azamaria wasn’t anywhere to be found. Take a wild guess about what my mule’s name is.

@wanderersminuet.bsky.social What job? Using third party tools like gearswap? Those change how specific I have to be about some advice. This should cover you for melee. youtu.be/PRIMq-PZ0rU?...

A PSA for people using the free to play period. SE manually kicks your character out, so depending on how active a particular SE employee is at clicking a button you may get extra hours or even days if you don’t log out. I also apologize for not uploading more lockstyles.

I didn’t even stop playing FFXI and the music on your way to sky somehow managed to evoke a felling of intense nostalgia when I got there for my mule’s Zilart missions.

FFXI was designed from the ground up around player interaction - whether that meant partying up for exp or asking for help with quests and monster hunts that expect a *lot* from you. The wikis are the assembled culmination of all that shared knowledge, and there should be no shame in using them.

Seems there’s a bunch of new people not prepared for the giant patch updates. Here’s some downloads players made that go faster since FFXI’s infrastructure was designed to still work with dial up internet. vana-time.com de.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/...

What is this gorgeousness? I thought SE only knew how to do Ugly reskins nowadays for FFXI.

So I was busy running for my life in an FFXI besieged and I had to stop for a screenshot when I saw this.

Spoiler embargo is over for the #FFXI crossover with #FFXIV. Wasn't able to get that many good screenshots, but I at least managed to snag 4 good ones from the footage. Ix'Aern shoulda used reraise a few times to really fuck with people. I was surprised I got so many predictions right.

Anyone got the FFXI style UI settings for FFXIV by chance? I know I saw a screenshot of them back in the first Jeuno raid.

One of my linkshells did our final omen run last night. Congratulations to everyone for clearing out 99% of the drops that weren't bodies/cuffs.

My brain keeps on trying to change the name of the new #FFXIV expansion into Final Fantasy Everclear

Since people are doing Echoes of Vanadiel guesses/hopes here for the FFXIV reveal tomorrow I might as well do my wild guess. Boss 1 Shantotto. Round 2 fodder: We take an Airship to whitegate and get shot out of the sky before landing in Al Zahbi.

Apologies for procrastinating so hard. Here's another batch of #FFXI lockstyles Main: Kam'Lanaut's sword Sub: Tauret Head:Hike Khat Body: Sipahi Jawshan Hands: Serpentes/Bewegt Cuffs Legs: Miasmatic pants Feet: Pinga/Noble's Pumps

Hearing about how people didn’t know XI had a story is wild because XI players were just not going around telling people spoilers the whole time. It’s a Final Fantasy game. Of course there’s a story.

Hmm. If there are three Prishe running around atm and prishe doubles as a WHM, don’t we only need a geo and cor with Ulmia to make a full modern party in FFXI?

Anyone else laying awake tonight thinking about how Destin d'Oraguille does not get enough slander in his life? He is a failure of a husband, father, and a spineless coward to his core. I will not elaborate since #FFXI has innocent newbies I shall not spoil for once in the game’s lifetime.

That TH ring is giving me flashbacks to dumb things my thf would get forced to do back in the day despite SE telling us how TH works in FFXI. Eg Being forced to melee Turul even though I only have to get on the hate list for treasure hunter to work. Once you engage that you’re stunlocked.

Here from the Gusgen where the children yearn for the mines even in death, I'm making another thread of lockstyles you can wear in FFXI. I do have some theoretically higher resolution .dat mods, so consider yourself warned that I'm not 100% vanilla even if it's only a higher resolution. #FFXI

Gonna stop procrastinating the new lockstyle thread once I get power back from Melissa.

Power’s out from a hurricane yet again. I don’t know why I’m optimistic that we’ll keep power like we used to during weak hurricanes.

this sword appeared to me in a vision

Hurricane knocked out power so no #ffxi gear showcase hurricane edition like I was planning. Nintendo Switch battery power is woefully insufficient for my needs compared to how long all of the previous consoles would last me during hurricane time.

#FFXI Lockstyles 3 am edition. These are specifically some of my bard lockstyles for when I’m using a sword dagger combo. I’ve not quite updated all of the weapons yet but I hope you can overlook that. The bodies are starting off with the base/Zilart era for a dash of nostalgia or goals for sprouts

Dawntrail is its own brand of weird for Quetzalcoatl players from FFXI since we used to have a player running around named Sphene that died back in the day. I personally wasn’t close to her but given the themes present in the narrative those two events kind of resonate together.

I have exactly one and only one complaint with echoes of Vanadiel right now. SE didn’t bother to give an HD update to Alxaal’s gear. His Koenig gear textures stick out like a sore thumb compared to everything else.

60 something houses with no bids and dudes wanna pile on the house my alt bid on. The universe is testing me.

I’m a little disappointed that we didn’t get the male version of dancer AF too, but I’ll live. It’s still a bit weird that so little of the gear they chose for these crossovers is something FFXI players can actually wear naturally.

Nearly Sunset at Barr’s bay Park during my birthday nearly two weeks ago.

Just arrived at occult crescent and it’s giving me the urge to explore some of the local forts a bit. #FFXIV

It's #FFXI Anniversary today! Tell me what's your favourite... City: Kazham Area: Cape Riverne Dungeon: Pso’Xja Story: Wings of the Goddess Character: Prishe Villain: Don Kupoleon Boss fight: Dynamis Lord. It’s one of the first times you have to go all out as a team Jobs: Thf nin bst

In #FFXI news other than the phat loot for everyone, I got a drop from peaches last week.

#FFXI is giving away rank 1 bonanza weapons to everyone. This is not a drill.

Wizards is probably saving me a bunch of money by putting so little effort into the FFXI portion that I have zero need for any MTG booster packs. I filtered for XI and didn’t even get ten cards from the whole set even with the dupes.

We should have had an Utsusemi card that gives hex proof for a giggle. #FFXI #MTG

Absolute Virtue seems really easy to get around. Just lure your enemy into a false sense of security and bounce it right back into their hand mid battle.

I’m not usually one to do series rivalries, but it was kinda nice how FFXI got a louder cheer than FFXIV in the mtg reveal stream.

Shantotto may not be my favorite FFXI NPC, but she’s still a big face of the game SE keeps picking and I’m not optimistic about FFXI’s representation in the MTG set if she doesn’t even get a spot as a rare instead of an uncommon.

I finally stopped procrastinating on the role quests and I am disappointed in everyone who fell for that tripe the villains were spouting enough to want to side with them. Easy targets for a bald faced liar because they occasionally pepper things with the truth the whole lot of you.

I forgot the Loporitts call Hydaelyn mom. It’s still absolutely adorable that they call her that. #FFXIV

I need to start remembering to take screenshots again. I actually got to help out a newbie for the first time in forever this weekend in #ffxi.

As promised I have to show off various lock styles in #FFXI More will come when I remember to find an appropriately cool spot to screenshot them and I remember to have notes on the gear/model for people.

I wonder if Prishe is gonna freak everyone out explaining the implications of chains of Promathia like she did in DFFOO. #FFXI

I spend the entire xi alliance raid absolutely cackling at the madness and chaos that was ensuring for the rest of the alliance. Spike flails, darters killing with poison, Mijin gakure and meteors landing , and whm lb3 spam.

I forgot to ask for striking dummies! Asked for a few things and tried to hint that there’s a bunch of xiv players interested atm.

I was just looking at the nutritional I to on chocolate milk and regular milk. Why is the chocolate milk missing like 6 different vitamins when all they should be doing is adding chocolate?

ARE WE NOT PERMITTED ANY JOY?!!
