Well shit...I found a folder of some cool art from Final Fantasy XI that is likely close to 15 years old. Sexy but still PG-13 (barely in places). Would be a shame not to share them so they live on.

These are all the ones I had like that. AI used them as wallpaper back when I had a CRT monitor. I don't know why but I feel we might have some old-school FFXI players in here.

My Brothers played FFXI from 2003, I tried to get into it so late around 2008-2009 during College, but I was so far behind, that I just couldn't get into my own character. I did play it on my Brothers account, when he was busy, because he did Endgame and such. I wish I started when they did, but I'm very familiar with it, I was actually on his account when he got his Attestation of Decisiveness to get his Amanomurakumo for his Samurai. Funny story, he had me farming a Thief Knife for him, then helped a friend do Sky, I didn't erase his Tonberry Hate, because I was going to do it later. I didn't know he'd get hit with Everyone's Rancor for 50k damage, when his character had like 1200-1300 HP. A core memory of mine from the game.

Well, if you live in the US, you have plenty of access to of brands, even the cheap ones are decent. I seriously buy the Great Value, Wal-Mart version and it's actually good for something cheap. Then the Coffee Mate Hazelnut Creamer to accompany it. I've actually mixed a Mocha and Hazelnut coffee together before brewing, and it was smelled like Chocolate Malt-o-Meal. It was nice.

Aight thanks, I don't live in the US but I bet there's someone selling hazelnut coffee in the EU, you're making my mouth water... I need to mix mocha and hazelnut coffee

Its definitely nice. I wish I lived in even more rural area to be truthful.I miss the woods and farmland compared to city-suburbs

Be careful what you wish for -- I live in the country and am surrounded by forest preserve. The first time you see a deer in the vegetable garden you say "oh how cute!" and you grab your camera.
The second time you see a deer in the vegetable garden it has a couple fawns with it and you say -- "Oh how cute" and you grab your camera
The third time the deer visits your vegetable garden and proceeds to eat everything - all you want to do is grab a gun.

It was a brutal game. I ran one of the top linkshells on Pandemonium server for NA players. WE did Sky, Sea, etc... The games was the biggest time sync of any MMORPG I've ever played.

Like I remember getting a party together, just to sit in one place and kill enemies, as the fast way to level. and once you got to 70...a full night of playing 3-5 hours was ONE level. And if you die, you LOST EXP. Game was special and unique but would never fly today. Good memories though. People mostly looked out and helped eachother and the community was one of my favs.

No, some Japanese artist who played the game made it.

Game was unique as a MMO in that you could level all the classes on 1 character. You could go to your home and switch. Exp was unique to each class, but it was a cool system.

And yes, tonberrys were fun! And yeah thief knife farming was a thing for a lot of endgame players.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening everyone. I hope your day has been good. I have been crazy busy. Going to do some backreading and then probably pass out.

Spoiler: ethereal dream pop soundscape, nostalgic retro vocals, percussive claps are the prompts it gave me when i was randomizing it just trying things

So that's where FFXIV inherited the class switch system from, I guess that's where gameplay similarities end.

I did pretty much all of that, on my Brothers account. I quit before Abyssea was a thing, if I stuck around longer with trusts or whatever, I could've caught up. I loved Promathia and Aht Urghan, but not so much Wings. The last thing I did before quitting was complete my own Usukane set. Sadly, I only had a few level 75 jobs, before the job cap increase. I got my Brother his Maat Cap. I just couldn't play anymore because I started double majors, and 2 hours of classes felt like 8 hours of homework. So, no time for much else.

Yup. FFXIV was great to. I've played a lot of MMORPGs over the past 25 years, but it's still #1 for me. It just had everything I feel.

It had a great community to. Here is me trying to be cool in my sexy "matrix" inspired leather getup.

Your 270 pounds of dog don't care about them, do they? Both my labs have had an unhealthy Hatred towards deer.
