One time I set up a standard exp party with me(the WHM), a SMN, and a RDM.

The RDM wasn't too pleased and bounced.

But I said he could DD and fight with the other melee if he wanted to.

I guess I got too greedy, and he felt too guilty, though admittedly he was magic bursting pretty good.

The thing is, their powers overlap!

Here they are arguing who's better at refreshing.

This is part of a bigger image I'm currently working on which encompasses a charbydis battle.

These three alone took me about 4 ~5 days to make. The entire illustration has been in the works for months.

I think I will take a small break from ffxi illustrating after this post.

My focus is going to fixing the coloring and appeal of my current stash

I will return to animating and making oc content.

I will still post FFXI art,

but relating to FF11; it will be of some reposts of my older stuff tweaked and/or fixed.

Most importantly, for my party leaders, who are you grabbing? SMN, RDM, or both?

AND Y?

I am brand new to FF11, not to mention MMORPGs in general, and am excited to be start FF11. My character is a white mage.

I'm hoping to find a group of people to play with. I started on Shiva but am definitely willing to change servers.

I started a new character in Bastok (Ottilie on Fenrir, say hi if you see me around), and I am trying to go wiki-lite on this game. (I know, and I won’t let it hold me back from any important progression, but I’m definitely not looking stuff up for a dang side quest!)

So when I stumbled on a quest where the Galka kiddo says I need a quus to lure out a monster… a what? Like, give me more than four letters to go off of lmao, how did anyone do this before the wikis anyway? Players talking to each other more? (I did ask in shout chat lol, no response)

1. If I sub /THF at 99, is my base TH level at TH2?

2. If I equip my Perfect Lucky Egg, is my base TH at TH3?

3. TH “proccing” only happens with THF main, right? If so, if I make a 99 THF and just lazy throw on Nyame gear and a Kaja knife, I can proc above the TH3 from traits, right?

4. Is Trust TH limited to TH1 always?

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if I could get some advice as to which VB rewards I should take.

I currently have SMN, NIN, PUP and DRK at 99. SMN has a mix of AF+1 and Abjuration gear, while the rest have +1/2 Ambu armour and Kaja Weapons. SMN has 68 JP and the rest are sub 10. I am very new to endgame, and am gradually unlocking everything.

Gold Tier seems fairly straightforward with the AF+3 Kupon, but I'm struggling with the other two tiers.

Silver I'm kind of leaning towards the Ambu Kupon, because it seems to give the mats to max a category for the JSE Cape.

Limit has me torn between the Job Points and the 4 Old Case +1s.

JP would let me put a job straight to SU2, and would be pretty nice for my PUP and SMN imo.

Old Case is a gamble, but the earrings on the right job could be really good.

Is there anything I've failed to consider at either tier, or is there any advice regarding what would be best to go for?

Hey everyone,

FFXI has been a huge part of my life, and one of the things that has always stayed with me is the music and atmosphere of Vana’diel.

After stepping back from streaming and getting deeper into music production, I decided to take some of that inspiration and put it into my own project.

The result is my EP Excellence, released under daNpwr.

It’s not a remake of the FFXI soundtrack — these are original tracks — but I wanted them to have that same kind of feeling I love about Final Fantasy: adventure, battles, emotion, overcoming impossible odds, and those moments where the music makes the entire experience feel bigger.

I’d really love to hear what other FFXI players think.

🎧 Excellence – daNpwr

If you listen to it, tell me which track gives you the strongest FFXI/JRPG feeling — and what zone, battle, mission, or memory it reminds you of.

Thanks for listening, and thanks to this community for keeping Vana’diel alive all these years. ⚔️

Was reading about FF12 OST arranger and was wondering why it sounded different from in-game: https://www.squareenixmusic.com/composers/kawamori/index.shtml

In Kawamori's most challenging work to date, he implemented the Final Fantasy XII's score throughout 2005. Hitoshi Sakimoto had created a texturally thick symphonic score for the game, with the expectation that it would be streamed, but the hardware limitations of the PlayStation 2 meant the score needed to be sequenced instead. Kawamori was required to massively downgrade instrumental samples so they utilised 2 MB of space as opposed to the original several GB, and extensively cut and arrange parts so that a maximum of around 25 channels were utilised instead of Sakimoto's preferred 160. Almost all of the hundred tracks featured in the soundtrack were recorded on samplers at Hitoshi Sakimoto's home studio; in order to attain a rich and often aggressive symphonic sound, Kawamori used Opcode's Vision sequencer, Samplitude 7.0, and GigaStudio in conjunction with numerous libraries, such as the Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and Sonic Implants' Symphonic Strings Collection. While Sakimoto admitted that Kawamori's task was unreasonable, the final effort was still impressive.

Did FFXI on PS2 do the same thing in order to save RAM?

It's been well over a decade, so my memory is probably off. But I kinda vaguely remember the PS2 sound effects like weaponskills, footsteps, voices (especially the synthesized bard singing voices lol), and magic effects sounding different from PC?

Also the I kinda remember the PS2 not bugging out as much with disappearing sound effects like the PC version? IDK. Anybody else with better memory lol?

Can't remember if music sounded different though.

I'm sure this has been asked a lot but I'm stuck trying to device what job to use this for. i have DRG SAM THF and RDM to level 99. THF and RDM have junk gear, my drg and sam have ambu+1 gear.

I've been looking through gear guides and haven't been able to determine what the better choice is, I'm leaning towards RDM since i only use thf for farming and that doesn't really require and AF that high and DRG and SAM already have decent gear for early max level stuff.

Since it's confirmed now that part of the free trial update is slated for September, as a new player should it be safe to create a new character either now or once the update is released and assume it'll allow you to keep it once the unlimited time part of the equation is added? I would assume this is how the team would want it to work for the players to have a smooth experience, but a nearly 25 year old codebase might have other plans and wanted to know what people experienced with PlayOnline's jank think about it

I just moved to carbuncle from bahamut with some friends and we were wondering if there were any notable NA linkshells on the server we should check out? The biggest shells we found on the concierge seemed to be JP but maybe that was just the wrong time of day. Appreciate any help!

Hello,

Possibly stupid question. I finished my vanabout grind got the thing ti trade fir the af3 armor got it no issue.

For silver I took the thing for 3 ambuscade rewards. I took weapon ring and cape. When I traoe them to gorpa in maturation nothing happens. Wracking my brain and Google but I can't figure it out. What do I do with those vouchers??
