Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Tobal]

Had really annoying exp party last night, the problem was with a nin called Miyoki and her Bst friend Hisason(party leader). He formed the party at 9:20pm, after much afk?ness(by the nin and bst) and buying ninja tools for nin by the bst for 30mins in jeuno, we finally get going, took about 40 min from Holla to gustav?. They kept going afk. We finally start fighting, with me being the pld and having a whm I wouldn?t think they?ll be much wrong, but the whm starts bitching about healing for some reason and wants the ninja to tank, I already noticed Miyoki done nothing but hit(and mostly miss) the mobs, no debuffs tool at all. Then the rest of the party ask for the ninja to tank so I ask if she has the normal ninja tools Uts:ni, Blind, Paralyze(etc,etc) the answer was no. So I said ?what are doing then, just hitting, you?ve got nothing to contribute to the party? an she leaves(thank god), the bst soon leaves as well calling me a jerk for ruining his ?love party? and calling her a leech.

He then proceed to send me tells calling me a jerk and why did I make her leave the party, to which I keep explaining to this retard that she was leech and that a melee?ing whm would do more damage than her being she was not playing either tanking ninja nor Debuffing/Att ninja. Do which he responds stop being a elitest jerk, she hasn?t got a lot of money nor is a good ninja?. Unbelievable, I explain to this fool that the debuff scroll are free to quest for, and ninja is an expensive job to play so farming work to buy Uts:ni and tools to use is a must. So he calls me a jerk one more time and say?s he?s had enough.

That?s 2 people to avoid.

Its a shame I didn't know what me and you were going to be doing last night Tobal. *Eventually*, I got a cracking little party together in Crawlers Nest. Made just over 5k exp in 1.5 hours before I needed to head to bed. I'd already got a Lv37 PLD when I realised you were leveling your PLD.

I just picked the 360 version of this up from Game (don't know why they're selling it today) and I'm going through the registration stuff and it's got to a bit that says "Thank you for participating in the Play Online beta test". Is this just a bit of text left over from the beta, or am I better off waiting until the game is officially released tomorrow before I sign up?

By the way, am I missing something or does the box not have anything on it that says you need a hard drive to play the game? Seems a bit odd not to mention it.

Edit: Carried on with the registration and I get a "Content Communication Error POL-1361" every time I try to submit my age. Think I'm just going to leave it for now.

I am sooooo weak. 360 version purchased now as well....

*Justified by the fact I can team up with another 360 player and have voice chat... and 5.1 sound in the big battles will be cool.... hmmmm

So my us account will work on my pal360, with the pal game? If so i maybe buy it, my pc's getting to old.

Possibly. I should be able to tell you for sure tommorow when my 360 version arrives. Fro what dj said, it sound more complicated than I first imagined.

I think mine will turn up from gameplay today or tomorrow (for 360).

Since I've not read much about it, and not played the beta, is there anywhere I can at least get an idea of places to level and whatnot? I believe most people are on Seraph and something about a RarghLS

Is it one of those MMORPGs where you spend ages playing a character only to realise you've not maximised their potential and end up starting again?

This thread is ultra-long so I'm thinking you guys are high levelled. Hopefully there's a few people from here starting out aswell with the 360 release.

Segages when you first create a character you get an option to enter a world pass, if someone here can give you one that will allow you to join Seraph, also our LS has such a wide range of levels with most leveling multiple jobs also with the new jobs being added to the game expect alot of people to be starting new jobs.

As for leveling grounds there are loads of sites, just try google.

Let us know if you want a world pass.

I haven't got time to fully address your questions but this is a great comment. This is NOT the case with FFXI and its definately the most annoying aspect of every other MMORPG i've tried. FFXI doesn't do this, and for me, thats one of the majar things that makes it reign supreme among the newer, shinier, pretenders... *Cough* WoW...

[segages]

Cheers mike, and yeah a world pass would be great if that's what I need, and anyone has one. I'll get googling.

I can confirm that existing PC accounts will carry over (and with minimal effort - there's an option at startup for existing POL members) ^_^

Within the next hour after this stupid update is complete, I shall be setting foot in the new lands....

[Tobal]

I think the key lynch pin for FFxi is 1 character can be all 18jobs without need to make a new character. And even if you feel the jobs not for you, it can be used a Subjob for a main job so all is not wasted.

Do you have a US based PC account?

That is my main concern as I will have a Euro 360 one.

wouldnt worry mate, I signed into my japanese POL account via the xbox 360 beta. If your gonna play on xbox 360, just make sure you register the ahturgan contents on a US POL client first (with a US registration code naturally).

Mine has not turned up yet by the looks of it, the UPS tracking says its still out on delivery.
