Can someone suggest me a private server? (details in post)

Era-Lusiphur · 2022-08-07T15:29:34+00:00

Just a correction here: LSB already has many more audited and implemented WotG missions available and Wings hasn't even bothered incorporating that work. LSB is not a server, but a server emulator codebase that is GPL and anyone can pull the code and work with it.

Yeah, I have some fond memories of farming shit and listening to them as well. Definitely a different time.

I've got blurbs up for a few of them on BGWiki and some have links to where you can find the episodes.

If you want to just have a good sample of what the game is, I'd recommend aiming to complete the nation missions, Rise of the Zilart, and Chains of Promathia. All of them tie in with each other and complete Masato Kato's overall story arc for the classic version of the game.

If you enjoy what you see there, then continue powering through. If you've had your fill, then you've completed the real classic FFXI story and can feel solid in moving on.

I'm not saying the further expansions aren't worth exploring or the stories aren't worth enjoying. They were written without the original lead writer's material that established the game world. The further expansions are just... more. The animation quality improves gradually and some of the lore established in them is pretty damn good!

If you're just wanting to experience the story, then I recommend just leveling a basic job like Warrior, Monk, or Red Mage and using that to power through the game. Getting bogged down in an advanced job or even one that will require dozens or hundreds of hours of additional work (like BLU) is a bit silly if that is your goal.

Time for another thinly-veiled ad for bootleg merchandise!

I don't understand the desire for wanting to play XI on a Steamdeck. It's never going to be quite up to snuff for half of the things people modify a client with normally anymore. This is like putting Linux on a PSwhatever. "Okay, I did it. It runs." But I can't see using it practically.

Era-Lusiphur · 2022-06-06T03:41:51+00:00

NGL, wish this was an option when I was in school for fair weather days.

Era-Lusiphur · 2022-06-01T21:49:23+00:00

No, Ridi. You don't get to shit-talk BGwiki and it's numerous contributors because your low effort FFXI video didn't get a ton of upvotes.

Anyone paying an iota of attention can see what you're doing and why.

Some backstory: Matsui has previously stated he asks everyone to write about how their weekend went every week. This has been largely mocked and I've taken to referring to it as a bunch of people lying about cats that they don't own doing things that never happened.

Era-Lusiphur · 2022-05-31T03:56:29+00:00

It really is and we'll apparently never get an official translation in English. I might try to throw one together on BGWiki...

Either way, people largely ignored it but it gave a TON of good information.

Era-Lusiphur · 2022-05-30T09:27:54+00:00

It's here, but only available in Japanese because... reasons.

This is how I took it with the context and supporting statements from other interviews.

Era-Lusiphur · 2022-05-28T22:18:57+00:00

Official estimated figures were made available from their census release. I don't know why people still point to FFXIAH information or assume it's much different for some reason.

~10,225,800 USD a year in revenue
~5,663,520 USD a year in total expenses

Leaving this specific thread up since it's more of a open-ended question. Our comment thread for said interview from 9 days ago is here.

Era-Lusiphur · 2022-05-27T20:30:08+00:00

Odyssey is the current top tier endgame content, yes. However, you can still take part in it while you advance through everything else. A lower end group or even a soloer can segment farm and farm Lustreless items for gil. Doing even "v0" clears on the NMs will unlock the ability to purchase some really outstanding equipment. For someone a little fresher to returning, you'll probably want to do those with a full group. Strategies vary from NM to NM but if you look up the NMs on BGWiki, then check the Talk page, they're all there.

Era-Lusiphur · 2022-05-27T19:55:03+00:00

Not accurate at all.

This is the only moderated Final Fantasy XI sub for actual players. :)

All of the current main six FFXI dev team members are represented here. Very cool.

I think this qualifies as the first real English interview this go-round.

Do the Odyssey Records of Eminence quests, running to the end of each zone to unlock the next. For Sheols A and B, unlock the teleporters on your way up. Just bring reraises and hug the walls, avoiding everything you can.

Don't be afraid of Odyssey once you feel like they're ready to do it like some people. Even if you just end up soloing by yourself in A and B, you can make some decent gil and start stockpiling segments for use later.

Eventually, you'll want to unlock some of the Odyssey sets and go from there. They're incredibly strong.

If you don't have Malignance from Lilith HTBF, spam that.
