You obtained Dissidia.

How lucky.  On my first non-Sunday day off after nearly two months, Xiahou and I took a visit to BestBuy where he got the second generation Playstation 3, Batman Asylum, Ghostbusters, and Dissidia: Final Fantasy.

This is to the chumps out there who was all “blah-blah don’t support Square-Enix’s non-Japanese overseas endeavors by buying their ‘horribly’ dubbed adaptations”:

* * t(^.^t) * *

I’ll probably write some more once I play it a little more (while Xiahou’s busy with his PS3).  I’m practically cannon fodder with fighting games, moreso with three-dimensional ones.  That being said, I’m thankful for the tutorial they make you go through when you start a new game. (Yeah, I can see how this will get annoying if you’re a veteran Dissidia player).

… Warrior of Light has a pretty nice voice.  Made me a little swoony there before I concentrated on the battle.  Something makes me feel like the dubbing will be reminiscent of the Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors game series: not too bad overall… *avoiding thinking of the females*

EDIT: Um… yeah, I knew the Warrior of Light’s voice was familiar past the initial hearing: he’s the voice of Sun Jian in the Dynasty Warriors series!! *lol*

Good-bye, Everyone…! (xD)

’cause every day of the Sunbreeze Festival, I’mma be goldfishing my booty off!… unless my guildmates pull up an interesting proposition.  Hopefully Xiahou and I will be on our way out to sea after Sunday (Promyvion – Vahzl, yack!).

I want to get each of my mules a Goldfish Bowl, a Fighting Fish Tank, a Butterfly Cage, a Cricket Cage, and a Glowfly Cage.  Especially the crickets.  I want sounds on each of my mules! (=D) But, I wasn’t willing to deal with the Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza to get each of them the Melodious Egg.

I’ll update with some… interesting catches I’ve made when I’m not supposed to be asleep. (xD)

Or, God forbid, I might let myself get distracted from Final Fantasy XI to draw some random fanart/joke that got inspired by Fantastic Fraulein Mumor

Question for Those Who Solo EXP (60+)

•July 26, 2009 • 6 Comments

Yeah, been trying to solo my Red Mage up to 70+.  I typically have two hours to play (if I’m lucky enough, three).  I don’t bother flagging myself for “looking for party” since, typically, it takes 10-30 minutes to get invited and then to get to the camp, definitely leaving less than two hours to party.

Recently, whenever I’ve done campaign, I typically get 150-400 EXP for a battle that lasts for 10-60 minutes, thanks to the Union System.  Whenever I do Field Manuals, I typically complete a page in less than a Vana’diel day (57 minutes 36 seconds) for 1500+EXP.

Guess I’ll be doing Field Manuals, eh?

Joining the /facepalm-ing For a Few Slaps

I haven’t done any of the MKE add-on mission, but from what I hear, it’s a regurgitation of the ACP add-on.

/facepalm

I would have thought MKE would be soloable.  I mean, it’s a personal affair between you and your moogle, right?  Oh… oh, ew, no, you pervert! (>.<)

Oh, well. /facepalm

Oh, and does any crafter remember how the Kupofried’s “Artisan’s Advantage” was a bunch of crap?

The requisite condition for the following Super Kupower is not mentioned in the in-game explanation:
Artisan’s Advantage: The chance of losing ingredients in a failed synthesis attempt is drastically reduced.

Players must receive synthesis image support from their respective guilds in order to benefit from this Super Kupower.

Heh, the clause. /facepalm

I know some of you are all like, “ha! I told you”, and while I’m disappointed at a few aspects, don’t forget: I wasn’t expecting much, anyhow.  I try my damnedest to expect nothing – makes it easier for me not to get horribly disappointed, y’know?  Sure, as Sodako pointed out in his comment in my last post, there were some things that make you think, “… why didn’t they put that in before”?  Which, yeah, I can understand.  But I guess that’s the nature of MMORPGs, an ever-evolving *coughUpdating* game.  Makes me think of World of Warcraft’s recent “Arcane Bolt” nerf, where that spell is no longer non-interruptable.  At least we’re not going through drastic changes every time we turn around! *lol*

Regardless, I’m determined to make playing a song with the /bell command possible… not necessarily by oneself, but possible… would take a lot of coordination… hmm… *maniacal grin*

But first, let’s get my RDM from 65 to 75 via campaign… ’cause I haven’t been willing to be obligated to deal with people for entended periods of time – unless you’re an LSmate, then, hey! (=D) *lol*
