Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Darwock]

Only certains are wedge, Dj and myself.

After consideration I think you can count me as a a cert as well, I used to want to try every BCNM battle at least once so I should stick to that policy.

P.S. Tsing/Tal - Moot has also said a few times recently he wants to do a BCNM20. However I'll come along (orbless) if required, just let me know if/when so I can get my gear back.

ok

The body market I'm assuming is picking up again, I haven't seen one bazaared in weeks and on Saturday I saw 2 shouts in Whitegate / Al Zhabi looking for them. Based on this I'm going to get some out in the market.

I've been in two minds about saying this but my FFXI days could well be numbered, I'd really like to avoid any huge time-outs in CoP like we've had in previous missions so lets do our best to keep it moving.. hopefully we can be done by August.

Bollocks. I'll just be getting started by August.

I hope me and my friends find others at our lvl that are just as committed. Hydra may have had a fair number of dicks although there was always someone to party with (up until lvl.40 anyhow).

I really did enjoy my soloing missions I'd go on. Such as the Giddeus chest key drop that dropped offa the 1st mob . I remember spending a few hours early one morning on the top floor of Palborough all by my lonesome farming that key too. For some reason all that **** at the time was really stress-worthy, I look back on it now with a smile.

[Darwock]

I had the same experience with my palborough key, I was only 19 at the time and the quadavs were rough as hell, half the time I'd have to run to the shrine to recover and try again - was both cursing the lack of help and loving the challenge at the same time, it was awesome.

Must be something about Palborough.

I was needing my key for Kazham pass back in the early days and struggled with mobs as a THF25 (with BLM sub). Lots of darting back into the Waughroom Shrine when it went horribly wrong (again). Think I logged there eventually and didn't come back on for 2 weeks.

Return to give it one last go and got a flukey kill and the key.

I'm also interested in the Mannequin Body BCNM as I want to build the mannequin now. I know I spoke with Moot who also wants to do it so another RDM and we'd be golden. If I'm lucky I could the hands as well leaving me just needing the legs (easy)

[RobRoy]

what platform do you guys play on? i would look but the threads 750+ pages

[Darwock]

The platform is totally irrelevant, the servers are multiplatform. But I'm on PS2 (and PC when there's stuff on telly).. most others are on PC with quite a few now having the option of 360, and then there's a few new starts who are 360 only. If you meant which server, we're on Seraph.

[RobRoy]

how does the communication work without having a keyboard using the xbox/ps2?

xbox360 would be the preferable platform but im not quite sure how the game plays as all the mmorpgs i have played required a keyboard and mouse for attacking etc

RDM/NIN check...

[Darwock]

Get a keyboard. You can play the actual game fine without one, but you'll struggle to communicate with anyone.

[RobRoy]

do keyboards work with the 360?

also if i was to go for the pc version can you download the game and buy a key?

You use a regular USB keyboard with the XBox 360 (and likely the PS2).

[RobRoy]

ooo i didnt know keyboards worked cheers

[Darwock]

Yeah I picked up a Playstation keyboard dead cheap the day after I got the game, it turned out to be just a regular USB keyboard... and you can ttttttttttttelllllllllll it'ssssssss cheappppp.
