You can get the Final Fantasy Online Ultimate collection on Steam (steampowered.com) for $11.

That's everything, including the three add-on scenarios (which by themselves are currently like $10 each iirc)

Also it's steam so that means no more having to track down your cd/dvd to install it. On the other hand, Final Fantasy is a BIG game (~10 GB) on windows, so installation could take a while depending on the connection speed you have. On the gripping hand, some people can't stand Steam, as it has some DRM and stuff, and relies on the Valve servers to enable your logins. (I know mmo games you can generally bypass steam once the game's installed, but not sure about FFXI).

I actually know about 4 ppl interested in joining me and my buddy Gel, but I'm on Odin, where none may trespass. (they burned out on Aion already. that took all of what, 2 months?)

Hello to you fellow LBP fans out there!

I'm in the US and we aren't seeing the Pirates/Water packs in the lbp store. Was it only released overseas?

Thank you.

There's a few different articles out on it now :3 but I figure why not post it here to.

Seems like in FFXIV you will get to edit your characters eye color, skin ton, shape of body, add various types of facial scars and more. From the pictures I have seen I haven't seen to much facial edits (such as jaw size, lip size, eye size, ect) that they have in some other MMO's, but you can customize your characters underwear :O

Found all these pictures on Blue Gartr

Oh heeeeeellllllllll no, that better not be a crab >_>..... hope that's photoshoped in >.>;

I haven't been playing much (read: more than one blm solo exp session per month) for the past year. Do people still level in camps past Yhoator Jungle anymore? Every invite I've had from levels 38-52 on my drg has been Qufim or the jungles except for one wonderful, glorious party on Colibri in ERon(S).

A lot has changed in the last year, apparently. Anyone remember skillchains? Skillup parties? People in Jeuno who aren't either bots or just passing through? Social linkshells? People doing nation missions? Promyvions? Being able to get anything done by /shout groups instead of linkshells? I miss these things.

Speaking of linkshells, both of mine disbanded while I was a non-player. I recall a time when having no shell would quite quickly get you invited to a social shell, but since those apparently don't exist anymore, people assume that lack of a shell means you've been kicked out of an endgame shell for a good reason and are therefore the antichrist.

What the hell has happened to the game I used to love?

Ethereal Linkshell of Diabolos zergs in 45 seconds from pop to kill.

I was tying up some loose ends on quests in The Eldieme Necropolis, when I decided I'd also use the Strange Apparatus there. So I go through all the legwork to drop down to Mark D on the map, which is apparently the only way to fall down into that specific area... and land into an area that, apparently, only leads way back to the very start! What gives? I'm really agitated about this; there's GOT to be something I'm missing here.

Also, for that scroll of Teleport-Mea quest "Acting in Good Faith" does anyone here know how often the question marks (???) move? Because I checked all four god-awful areas in what could only be described as an epic misadventure of incompetence and frustration, and... they weren't in any of the four areas they're supposed to be. Which means that it moved in the two hours it took me to explore them all. Now I know why I never finished this "easy" quest.

someone found some pictures!

gotta go there to view it, don't have to be a forum member to see them (At least I don't think so, husband saw them)

If you didn't know, I'm a member mod on the RPGamer board.

They've been doing a Year of Final Fantasy; they're sorta skipping FFXI, but. I've gotten permission to do something so we won't be ignored completely. Next month, they're doing FF10. Alongside that, I'm going to post a FF11 spoiler thread. I'll post it here when it's up...

I'm gonna be sticking to the windy storyline (summary only) but if anyone else would like to come help, please do. Only thing I ask; read the board rules and follow them, please!. I don't want to have to remove a bunch of too big sigs, for example. RPGamer runs a very tight ship, board wise; no trolls allowed, pretty strict sig pic limit, etc. I'd rather not have to hexa strike anyone from here. ^^ (The spoiler tag rule will be relaxed for that thread and only that thread since it will be clearly marked "SPOILER!" but other than that, I will enforce the rules.)

Keep your eyes peeled; I'll have it up in a couple weeks. ^^

[Edit] since the guy who commented said "we're not welcome"..Au contrare. The goal was to get though as many Final Fantasy games as possible before FF14 came out. FF11 got cut for time reasons, and possibly since it's a MMO. Also there's at least 5 RPGamer staffers (not counting this little member mod, who isn't a true staffer) INCLUDING the webmaster, Firemyst, who have played or do play FFXI. Not welcome my butt. ^^

I just got my FFXIV closed beta invitation in my email box. Ok, actually it's an invitation to apply for the beta. I figured, why not give it a shot. I'm not leaving FFXI until it's quite dead, but I'm a sucker for MMOs, really.


Anyone else get theirs? I'm hoping my husband gets one too, that way at least one of us might have a chance at getting it.

Neko did. :)
Text version on gamefaqs -- Shadowneko's Newbie guide

I might suggest neko put that on FFXI Wiki too; but it's been a fight since the PS2 version of FFXI came out to get this on GameFaqs. Go Neko!

I recently won the lot on Shura pants and I'm wondering if I should be full-timing them? I don't have Byakko Haidate because 1. he's cheap and likes to horde them and 2. I've been letting the people with melee jobs as main lot ahead of me. Instead, I've been using Shinimusha pants to get my 6-hit and Dusk Gloves in the place of Hachiman Kote. If I were to fulltime Shura, I'd switch the Dusk to Hachiman to keep my 6-hit - but is the accuracy I gain worth the Haste I lose?

I'm mostly entertaining the idea because I'm about 40 accuracy under capping @ birds (and Hachiman is cheaper than Dusk + Shinimusha...).


Also, for the bards: Korin Obi > Gleeman's Belt on lightsday/light weather for Lullaby? It seems like it should be, but the only proof I can find is from people that say "Yes, it is, just because," which is a rather frustrating answer when wiki's page about it says the bonus doesn't apply to magic accuracy.

The Pirates of the Carribean pack will be released Decemember 22,2009!

What's so special about this pack? Its a level pack that includes the introduction of water into Little Big Planet.

There's also a new costume pack.

Absolutely darling!

I am so excited! =D

ARGH! So my 360 decided to red-ring on me today and will need to be sent off for repair. The only problem is, I'm enjoying FFXI and am now annoyed that I only got two good days of gaming on the game. Also my trial runs out in 28 days & I don't want to miss out on that.. So has anyone here ever bought the game for the 360, made the PlayOnline account on there, played the game but decided to move to PC & then downloaded the game on the PC and used the PlayOnline account you've registered originally on the 360, now on the PC?

I'm just wondering if there's any hope for me to get to be able to play this game again during the trial :(

Scholar is so close to 75~ OK, not really, it's at 72 and to get to 75 I need almost exp as it took for me to get from 1 to 20.

But a few questions have come up and I understand some of the math, but I've got gray areas so I thought I'd ask some sophomoric questions. SCH 201, if you will. Some are situational, and some are not.

How feasible would it be for a SCH to cap magic skills (Cap at 75 being 210) in Ro'Maeve? I've been doing field of valor page 3 on Cursed Puppets, getting some alright skill-ups (elemental is in low 170's, dark in low 160's), but I'm wondering if in the 190-210 range I'm going to need to look for another camp. I'm particularly interested in FoV camps because what they lack in great exp they gain in profitability.

How useful is dark skill, in the grand scheme of things? I know it is very useful for overcoming resists, but how does it play to damage? Do people in general place any emphasis in dark skill outside of resist sets?

When it comes to doing damage to something that isn't likely to resist and Uggalepih Pendant is not the best option (when MP is over half), would I be better of sticking to Int+3, to the much more minor MAB+2 of the Caract Choker, or the elemental skill torque? (And yes, I realize that there are a number of tricks to get one's MP lower than half, that's not where the concern is here.)

Seriously considering taking Focalization to level 4 (that's +20 accuracy) but I've heard mixed reactions from others in regards to just how worthwhile that much accuracy is; any thoughts?

Thanks again for your time and consideration of these questions.

Or more accurately... the decline of Koru-Moru into Ned Flanders...

I quote from the opening Cut Scene (no spoilers really - we all know it's something about Shantotto going mad).

"...Doctor Shantotto's recent ding-dang-doodley behaviour."

and

"Something is a-brew-areeno"

So... Koru-Moru has turned into Ned Flanders...
