Is it just me or has FFXI just get stupid all of a sudden? I hear once you beat Shinryu you can duo him with those brew drinks!? Also I'm pulling 6k weapon skill damage now...thats not even cool any more man!I don't consider myself the best WAR and MNK. My LS mates have better gear and I still out damage them occasionally. Not to mention the range between the balance of the jobs is to a point where skill doesn't do sheesh anymore. I think FFXI started to go down hill once they made transportation easier for everyone, that was right after Brenner release. This game is way too easy now lol

Anyways, I'm hoping FF14 is good and from what I'm reading with this new director, it sounds good!

they increased level cap without fully boosting the challenge of stuff. Seemed like a last hurray god mode for people who wanted to solo/duo stuff before the game closed its doors. Not so sure they're still into that idea though.

How could anyone remember this as a marker for the game's history.

What the hell.

Rate up for using Brenner as a time marker.

And don't you know, though overlooked Brenner was quietly one of the most pivotal, transformative moments of the game. Look at the flame in that stove on the beach and ponder the profundity in the oscillation of the flame, its glow. People don't dare step in Diorama-Purgonorgo because they unconsciously fear they aren't up to handling such metaphysical musing, such cosmic contemplation.


The reason the game seems like it got very dumb is Abyssea. Abyssea is a world undergoing destruction. In those red skies are a lot of aerosols as a byproduct of that. The Cavernous Maws link the atmosphere of Abyssea to Vana'diel and it's been pumping out all those aerosols into Vana'diel, stupifying adventurers. The longer one is exposed to the Abyssean atmosphere, the more they behave like that one kid who liked huffing a lot and was once found behind the school with silver all around their mouths.

I wonder how much time was put into the activities like Brenner, Evoliths and ANNMs. I also wonder if they were actually excited when they were released and now if those designers are still employed by SE.
