Yeah I just got back into the game a few weeks back. I started the game back in 2004 on the PS2 until somewhere around 2009/2010. All I can say is that its a whole new game lol. I can never in my wildest dream think of leveling from 1 to 50 in three days with the old FFXI.
The only sad thing about the game is that when I walk into the dunes, I'm the only person there leveling up.
I've been playing a whole bunch w/ the Mrs. and my family again and I don't think I've had a better time on the game. We pretty much play as a static group, so some things in game have always been out of reach, but being able to easily get our Relic Gear +1 and participate in Wildskeeper Reives and Delve NMs has been amazing.
Just finished up everything on my good old Dragoon - which looks like it's getting a sexy update in September - and for now I'm heading back to my Red Mage which had been at Level 75 since before the cap was increased.
Super stoked about the various Campaigns starting Sept. 10th as there's a handful of those Trust Magics I missed. Does anybody have Lehko? I'm leaning towards snagging him w/ the Mog Pell - mostly because I think the WotG missions have some of the best cutscenes ever. But it's hard to ignore the Moogle and skill up gains.

Lehko is neat, but the moogle is the least likely to appear again before the next anniversary event, and it's the most functionally useful. The DD trusts are fun and all, but they get outgrown fast.
What server are you all on? Half off transfers and plenty of room in IHOP...
Man, it would be great to get an HD remake of this game on PS4. I want to start fresh in Final Fantasy 11 again. The last time I played it was several years ago. It may be awhile longer, though, because I'm currently playing Final Fantasy 14.
Got a question. I have an older physical PC game collection bundle of Final Fantasy 11, but the registration code was used on a computer I no longer have. Would I be able to reinstall the game and play it on my current computer by using the same code or would Square Enix be able to help me out with that?

Just FYI, the login points can only get you one Trust - Uka.
The choice of Trust thing is from a campaign in September.
The code is tied to your account, not the installation. So as long as you still have your login information somewhere, you're good to go. If you don't have it, it's probably possible (if difficult) to recover with the help of SE support.

Thanks to a number of folks to whom I will be forever grateful for their assistance, I've hit a milestone several slow years in the making.
Very happy to have finally completed a Relic, the little bit of story that comes with doing so was super neat, even if it was short.
I still have a lot of work (and practice) to do before my bard is up to snuff for using in anything remotely difficult, but hopefully I'll be able to rise to the challenge.
Next up, finally completing my Twashtar!

Since then, I've created a new Square Enix account for Final Fantasy 14. I'd rather have both games under the same login. Ah well, I suppose I'll just lay down the money for the Ultimate Collection.

Thank you!
The twatter isn't 99 yet so I don't consider it "complete" (though I was able to use it quite a while prior to adoulin). I've got about 800 plates and 53 cinders to go.
There's a couple new dev posts. I'll get them up tonight if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Sadly it cannot do that as anything in the delivery system (which includes the AH) is basically considered to be off the server while it is in there. It is why they warn you before server transfers (voluntary or not) to empty your dbox and not leave anything on the AH because they will NOT carry over.

You can't. It's not even in the game yet. Wait for the update.

IHOP has been progressing through voidwatch at an unstoppable pace. Tonight we cleared the Cop branch, and we'll be doing TOAU next week. After that, a small farming break before provenance. Will probably start interspersing rounds of dynamis clears shortly after that.
Super happy with progress people are making. We even did a lowman tojil last week. Will probably do more as people start to gear up and expand their job availability.

VW last night was great. It's really cool to see how much you can get done in even a short period of time in FFXI these days (especially compared to the way things used to be).

New Walk of Echoes details. Seems pretty wonky.
Just a note on this one, the "black" star is a mis-translation. It's referring to the filled in star, and the "white" star is referring to the non-filled in star. Problem is the Japanese just says "★ mark" and "☆ mark" with no mention of color, but the forum font is black, and the game font is white, making it super confusing.
So reading the menu, if the mark is filled in, it's in surge or endowed mode, if it's not filled in, it's normal, and the % is the chance it'll fill in or stay filled in after the clear.

Hey guys, I've been playing this game from 2003 to 2009. I have fond memories of XI. Out of curiosity, how is the Seeker of Adoulin storyline? One of the great things of this game was that even with new story from expansion the lore and the world story come together very well in a cohesive way (I've never finished WOTG storyline anyway).

It's sort of detached from the rest (in the same way TOAU was), but it's really great so far (starts slow though). The supporting questlines are also pretty interesting. There's like 4-5 "major" sidequest lines.

Upcoming events and more quality of life changes including new map icons, item search, and manual party re-arrangement.
Blazing Buffaloes
An absolutely titillataruing morning to you, straight from Konana of Windurst's Tarutaru Times!
How've your adventures been treating you?
I know, I know, I'm a bit more sprightaruly than usual, but that's neither here nor there.
We're in trouble-wouble and I need everyone's help!
It's those darned fluffball moogle-woogles!
With all those notches in your beltaru, you've surely stumbled across their Buffalo Bonanza Ranch.
You know, the one where they keep all the buffaloes they catch-watch up north?
They usually rentaru them out for all manner of festivals, rodeos, and what-have-you, and recently they've been expanding to other animals. On the surface, they seem to be expanding and all looks hunky-dory, but if they were any more in the red-wed I'd need to call a white mage to wipe up the mess.
Isn't that positively scandalous-wandalous?
So we decided to send-wend in some of our top reporters to do an undercover investigation. With the Blazing Buffaloes eventaru set to get started in a few short winks, I feel it's the perfect time to expose the operation for the shame it is!
If that doesn't whetaru your appetite for the truth, I don't know what will!
Read this Tarutaru Times exclusive report, written by a certain undercover freelance writer on the Buffalo Bonanza Ranch, here.

Yeah, certainly can't stick the login campaign preparations into the version update, now can they!
Haha, I saw that and knew you'd be happy.
