So yeah. Venting, funny, whatever. Just a place to share anything interesting. One I had a couple of days ago is that while AFK I turned on one of the new looped dancing emotes (because standing is boring) and when I got back I found that a couple of people had joined in next to me. A little impromptu dance crew.
Probably the most memorable so far would be my first dungeon (Sastasha). Both the tank and the healer dropped, and for whatever reason we decided to keep going. I was streaming at the time and was lucky enough to capture our glorious victory. We start to take on the boss around 1:03:40, but we (understandably) died like five times, so you can jump about ten minutes forward to see us win (and hear me freak out).
I've had some interesting times in Satasha, but none quite like that. My first time in we got to the boss but no one knew or cared to prevent mobs and the DPS stayed on the boss. So I'm struggling to keep up on the healing and eventually the tank drops and the mobs all come after me. I was too noobish to realize at the time what had happened (since I don't MMO much) so I'm just going "How the heck are we going to get through that?" But before I could make it back I'm pretty sure one of the DPSs used the limit break and ended it. I was so confused for a long time on how they could have won after it all went that badly.
I can't think of anything too great, normally things don't happen to me. The best moment I can think of is the other day when I joined a group to do Half-boiled in Gridania for the seasonal event, and after we finished we decided to do Halatali, but when we got in there we had 3 DPS and a healer. And yet me managed to completely storm the dungeon better than if we had a tank. One of the not so better moments would be the other day where in Toto-rak some archer named Sticky Greens was completely ignoring the group and get trying to pull groups of enemies over and over and over. We actually kicked him once, but he ended up managing to get back in somehow. We let him die each time he decided to pull the same crap, but he never stopped. So yeah, it got really annoying.
I just completed the White Mage job. That last fight was rough. I hope I never have to heal an NPC again. Now I'm torn though. It feels like a waste of experience to continue on the main quest with it (I have an EXP bar, but it is locked at zero), but it will be a while before I can get another class up to the proper level. Well I wanted to do Botany next anyway, so I have time to think about it.
Well, then you just have to take the time to go through the levels with your other classes and level up your jobs, because I've seen you have plenty to do. Besides, what's wrong with going through the main story with a lv50 character? Doesn't make much of a difference, since they sync your level anyways during the major fights
It is just that the quest rewards are a major source of experience, so dumping all of that into a class at max level seems somewhat foolish. Though there is the rubber-banding effect through FATEs, so I guess the slight efficiency gained isn't that important. I just get a bit OCD at times. Still, I should work on my Disciplines of Land and Hand. I don't think I'll be that good in the end game if I keep ignoring materia.
I just managed to get my weaver to lv19 and make materia today, but considering how much of a pain it is, I think I'll probably not bother with it. I've always been the type to just go through games with what I wanted, even if the stuff wasn't entirely up to full strength, but I make it through in the end. Plus, the whole materia thing is confusing at a point, and it helps to keep the old armor you used if you have other classes to build up. And I've seen you have plenty, so I'd keep that old armor just so you have it right away. Edit: Okay, so I'm working on quests to fight Titan, and I just came across one of the best lines ever. This guy says "you mean that ******* Tidus, eh?" I can not stop laughing at how funny that is.
