Bumping again, please reach out if interested!

It's a social trend. You don't care because you're jaded. I think it's neat. Like keeping up with fashion.

Yes, agree. The final battle felt so rushed and over in a flash. Wish they spent more time with it instead of the epilogue. Such a Shane because season 4 was incredible. The entirety of 5 was Ok but not paced well.

You know how you can tell you guys are getting older? AI upsets you. You think it's slop or it's lazy or uninspired or whatever. The kids these days love AI. They'll struggle on a project and ask chatGPT for help. That should tell you everything you need to know. The parents are absent from their lives to the point that they're more comfortable asking chatGPT for help than their neighbor or parent or teacher. It has more to do with a general trend of discontinuity. The rising loneliness epidemic? A symptom of a greater problem. People are disengaged with reality as they've become addicted to technology. Things like a sense of community are crumbling. Instead of joining the elks club you have people that think a discord server can replace the bonding that takes place through real world interactions. It doesn't. There's something that's lost in online interactions. Humans are very much social creatures (apes strong together). By isolating individuals they become easier to control. AI integration accelerates isolationism. I'll admit AI is flawed as it takes after it's creator (as man is flawed so too shall it's machinations be flawed). That's become a feature. AI can be used to manipulate the populous and direct patterns. Anyone else notice quarter zip fleece pull overs were popular in men's fashion this year? Is that natural selection or market manipulation? Someone somewhere decided that was going to be the fashion trend for fall/winter 2025 so AI is used to leave subtle queues that lead consumers to purchase said product.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is AI isn't new persay. The difference is now laymen are using it obviously and it upsets you that you're aware of it. You guys have no problem with AI when it's an enemy in game for you to fight, but when it's sending you subliminal messages to consume you're upset. More times than not that fatigue stems from a lack of funds to continue consumption. Calling it slop is cute. Your the pigs as the consumers and you're full so you can't eat anymore. That's why it's not appetizing.

I think, things you guys as FFXI players pride yourselves is things like problem solving skills that AI usage undermines. Another part of why you guys are upset is because you guys like working through the problem (means justifies the ends). Kids think that's stupid. Why are you doing napkin math when we hav Excel? It happens to every generation as new technology becones more widely used and older folks fail to adapt (you can't teach an old dog new tricks, Panta). AI is to you guys what the smart phone was to boomers.

As far as I can tell, the Ixion in North Gustaberg gave me FES key on all of my characters and mules first try with San d'Orian Carrot. Alicorn takes more trades but grants the mount.

I wish more companies would ban AIs for work purposes.

All that slop stains, and it does not come out.

Crap might be a stronger word, but slop just seems to fit it better IMO. Churning out quantity over quality to occupy the lowest common denominator. Like a trough full of pig slop.

cool thanks for that info. I'll skip on it then.

The amount of TP you spend on steps at endgame is totally irrelevant, so using it as an offhand is a HORRIBLE value proposition.

If you're going to use it as a MH, you won't be caring about the step TP consumption either (see above), but it could be alright. It will never be able to compete with a proper REMA though.

Path B is a nice way to cap SB, if you need that for some reason. I haven't personally found there's a place that justifies this.

Path C is good to reduce the cooldown of Climactic Flourish, the main DPS tool, and Reverse Flourish (minor, but it exists). It can be an OK weapon for Aminon, since that fight is based around these JA. Keep in mind though, with WC/RD/Grand Pas, you will likely not be able to get as much out of this cooldown reduction as you might expect/hope.

It's an OK starter weapon, but doesn't see much/any use in endgame, given all weapons are available to you.

Sublime is the best acc food, but some alternatives include:

Grape Daifuku+1, as you mentioned, is 85
Marine Stewpot, an AoE food, gives 90 and also gives 90 macc
Riverfin soup has 90 acc with 80 atk (95/85 if HQ)
Rolanberry Daifuku+1 is good for acc/macc if you're poor.

question: is it wise to invest in a setan for steps? and would you main hand it or off hand it? Also what path do you take it?
Dont see much info on the weapon or i just overlook it maybe :)

Is sublime sushi still the "go to" accuracy food? I know my server is pretty dead but it's pretty limited and so is the salmon used to make it. I see the newer daifukus arent an unbearable downgrade tho

There once was a man from Finland.
He wouldn't shut the *** up.

You mean you watched it past Season 2? I'm sorry for your loss.

Sometimes even I am impressed by how talented Im

You're using external factors to justify why Sortie isnt boring when you could apply those same external factors to Limbus.

Looks that way.
Kept all the other items on my chars (food, furnishings, new year gifts) and got a key within 5 trades.

What's the consensus on Venus vs Mars? Worth the extra vouchers with the changes?

Thanks, I thought that might be the case but I'm still shocked it never happened to me before tonight (then it happened twice in a row).

Unfortunately, when SE added ITG thuds to Mars and Venus orbs, they added a feature where the 9th chest doesn't have to convert to rainbow or gold. I actually REALLY, REALLY dislike this choice, because it adds risk of losing ...with no appreciable reward. It makes no sense to me why they think this is a good idea.

Note: I've only observed no-conversion on Mars Orbs only, not Venus orbs, so someone please share if you see otherwise!

Hey so, if you open 8 chests, isn't the second to last chest supposed to change colors? At minimum, changing to gold?

I think you might've missed a couple details I mentioned in there. Might want to read a little more closely next time.

Even a step beyond all the most important details you skipped over: who TF wants to do boring, mindless, easy ***with 5 other people? By design, there's very little, if any, reason to do it together.

Who wants to do ZNM together, guys?!

Of course and totally understandable!

I'll definitely keep my eyes on it. What a great tool, thanks for your efforts!

Cutscenes can load different zones, which I will never be able to catch unless I replay every storyline in the game ;) I'll see if I can build in some better contingencies to at least prevent errors.

Safe assumption that it's max one a day.

"I do limbus with my multibox, its boring and lonely"
"I do sortie with friends, we tell jokes and its fun"

Sortie and Limbus aren't even remotely comparable in terms of how boring the content is.

Limbus is: kill 4 enemies, zone up. Kill 4 enemies, zone up. Kill 5 enemies, zone up. Rinse and repeat for 2 hours. There's literally no variety, the enemies aren't remotely threatening (unless you intentionally aggro like 20 of them, AND they're horrible types, AND you don't have the right jobs...), and they fall apart in seconds.

Now let's look at Sortie: I only ever do Sortie with friends, so we've got jokes and banter, we're telling stories and chatting. There are bosses which are legitimately challenging. We have to adjust the run literally every run, to try to pick up extra muffins, decide which paths we're gonna take, if we want to risk XYZ to gain more muffins, etc. Sometimes (often) there are mistakes which actually cost us time/muffins. If a mob aggros at the wrong time, or the Bitzer is in a horrible spot, we have to do things differently. You have to do skillchains, magic bursts, have to react to what the enemies are doing.

It's like 1000x more engaging, and I would rather put a bullet in my brain than grind 4 unthreatening enemies 38 times in a row.

roses are red , violets are blue
you get 5 +1 old cases in one run
but none of the +2 earrings belong to you.
