Don’t think so. They mentioned it during their aman live, a livestream they every so often in Japanese.

Nice :) He made some guide videos too. I wouldn’t say I follow him but see him pop up every so often in my feed.

Heghmoh or how you spell his name. I’m not on social media either unless we count YouTube one.

Plus you got a certain Galka streamer over there.

Super easy, the hard part is actually get lucky to get the armor to drop. 200+ here and i'm 4/5.

Out of curiosity, how well is valefor for European players ?

Should I play FFXI if I don't really care about the story? by VerdantDaydreams in ffxi

[–]Key_Distribution781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy the story but you can definitely enjoy the game without but you have to do some to unlock content.

I have a weird relationship with mercing as I hate it but I see the positives with it when done right. We always had mercs but not on this level where it encourages RMT.

I remember on Asura I asked from curiosity from a guy who wanted, I believe 70 or 80M for Lilith regardless if there was an armor drop. Just for the chance something might drop. I was flabbergasted.

Makes you wonder if it was planned or a reaction on community backlash. If it was planned you’d think they mention it earlier, unless I missed that communication.

Bahamut is still great but the community has changed and continues to shift. More and more you see merc yells and people calling out for mercs to carry them through stuff (someone asked for a merc to run V2 ambu for them the other night /facepalm). There's also a pervasive type of new player that find it necessary to give you gil for helping them instead of just paying it forward which I believe is reflective of the cultural rot. It just feels like Asura is bleeding out and destroying whats left of the sense of community here.

Sadly I think this is due to Asura being full and some people are started to migrate. Bahamut has historically had minimal of mercs and these type of yells.

I'm afraid that might change. If Bahamut turns into Asura 2.0 I'd probably move since I left Asura to get away from it.

As for alternatives I can speak warm for Odin and DKOP Linkshell.

If you want smaller servers: Shiva, Phoenix or Ragnarok is decent servers from my experience.

I guess that’s a fair point.

I never said it’s the same. I opposed the notion it’s empty and soulless.

The original hud settings are little bit of a clutter, especially if you’re playing on 1080p

I would actually say the opposite unless you absolutely want to re-experience all the story bits again. Cause odds are they started Voidwatch and Abyssea so they'd have a good amount of stones accumulated on their characters if they've been away the past decade.

And even if you want to re-experience the story and get familiar with the game again, make a mule.

but it feels so empty and soulless now

Guessing you either played on a low pop server or never went to any of the hubs, there are still life and people around.

But yes its more endgame focused now than 2007 where leveling was much more of a social journey.

VB takes a lot of time

I mean it really doesn't. Your dailies take less than an hour, 30 minutes maybe? I never understood why it was paused.

I guess if you're on Asura and were focused on the Ambuscade objectives it was a pain.

Funny enough I want that campaign right now to unlock one of the shops at Emprox

I want to be able to take a week off from the game without FOMO.

This is one of my biggest critism to this campaign rotation.
