No I know, I was merely stating that once its cleared information does seem to get out pretty quickly.

I like the way you think, but my WVR desynth is pleb tier. By pleb tier, I mean 0. Maybe I can desynth their jewelry though. I don't think that will earn me any points, however.
Yeah, that's very optimistic. There won't be any videos or strategies for a while I would imagine. Where's your sense of adventure? Isn't half of the fun of the new content figuring out how to deal with it instead of just following a step-by-step instruction manual?
3-4 hours is basically impossible. There will be level 50 NIN by the end of the day for sure.
T11 will involve actual juggling and aiming jump platforms to land on Mecha Hydra's back.
Breaking down the time requirements to 50... When I leveled up BLM and/or BRD using DD first room runs, I think it took like 45 minutes per level 44-50. I'm sure that time could be improved a bit, but that's still like 4 hours just for that level range. The 35+ range for dungeons sucks because Cutter's Cry and Sunken Temple of Qarn take too long, especially the second boss at Qarn. People might be better off in Coerthas doing FATEs. People grinding the dungeons will also make poor use of the bonus exp from challenge log completions since they're percentage-based for current level.

I could actually see it this time, although not for "lols" but because T12 and T13 have been hinted to be bigger fights storyline wise, with Yoshida warning of spoilers and such. Would be interesting to put the gear check earlier and have two long mechanic fights back to back.
Can't wait for the train of Ninjas doing Svara fates!
Don't doubt Happy. I am sure he'll upload some shitty analysis or opinion video by tomorrow.

That would be above his usual speed for coil guides, but I'm definitely expecting "MR HAPPYS QUESTIONABLE THOUGHTS ON ROGUES/NINJAS" by tomorrows end.
Fuck yeah.
No, it would be for the lols and a terrible idea. That's means you only get one chance of loot a week to throw against the hard DPS check instead of two. It would be a fundamental change that could break regular progression.
Yup. There's a reason why the progression is typically mechanic-based gimmicks early on so they can simply be done-in via time. Gear checks have to come after loot is available.
To be fair, at least the i110 bit will basically be true now!
Felix and I have a plan in place. It's laced with certain amounts of crazy, but that's kind of what I signed up for anyway. I think a mix of Fates/Leves/Hunting Log/Challenge Log completions will be helpful in that mid-level grind. Once you hit 44, then it's just DD until you're finished, which isn't too bad. It's slow, yeah, but probably the best option.
I... I just don't know what to believe anymore.
For me, it wasn't about e-peen cred. Here is why I spent 6 hours:
1) I wanted to do T10 on day 1. Be the first day 1 raid content I've ever done in this game.
2) Having T9 cleared as a group opens up a better player base if we ever lose a member.
3) Having cleared T9 as it was meant to be played.
This is a little bit more akin to e-peen cred, but doing something simply for that reason isn't actually bad or anything. Different strokes for different folks and all that. Some people just don't have that thirst.

The real reason to beat turn 9 was 'death to the MNK oppressors'.
I hope you enjoy getting hit by all the magic-based AOEs that will be in turn 10.

Magic Def buff in the full patch notes, a whole +2, believe.
So... see you in 3 years?
We don't play with a dirty DRG
Not e-peen credit, more like starting a game and selecting Hard mode instead of Normal for the enjoyment of the challenge.

I think I'll enjoy the steady decrease in interest in DRGs once more NIN are leveled and geared.

Ranketsu and Arturi will save us all.
The PS2 is a high quality MMO machine.
Man I had to pick DRG alt loot because all you mofos picked MNK / NIN alt
You joke but there's still people playing FF11 on the PS2.
I find it amusing when people ridicule groups trying to get those early clears when it is actually more beneficial, in terms of getting weekly lockout loot in a patch cycle, to spend all that extra time learning content upfront than spending almost an equivalent amount of time learning later. If people have time free time and/or money to take that extra time early on for that raid grind, they are free to do so. Like how Galen and Felix are free to push to NIN 50 quickly. Don't hate the hustlers.
You might find this quote as an example in the definition of e-peen.
SE where are mah patch notes.
I forgot how much of my Bayonetta enjoyment relied on having the ice skates and sword unlocked.
Probably hunts. Get soldiery for i100 gear, seals for sand/oil to make it i110, run Syrcus Tower until you get a UAT (and more sands/oils).

Should have been rolling on that monk loot more often. I didn't realize it was going to be 1:1 the exact gear that NIN would equip. I'm gonna take forever to get it geared to 110 now since I never bought any monk sold gear either and all that sold is going towards my gil funds. Looking forward to all of our final coil loot boxes to drop NIN stuff.
And yes, I know people are terrible and still play XI on PS2, that's why I joked on that sad state of affairs.
Yeah I guess that's true. And I am openly talking about clearing it a bunch, I'm proud we were able to do it. So yeah, that's e-peen credit.
Not rubbing it in anyone's face though, or at least I hope I'm not, so that may be difference. I know how hard that sucker was for us, so just wishing the best on anyone who can try.
Is it going to be a separate gear than MNK in 3rd Coil?
I need a Cagalli Carry for MNK head. My accuracy.
You shouldn't need a carry for Turn 6...
What's UAT?
I've enjoyed my week back with the game (and essentially lurking inside the FC, hello FC!) even though I've done the stuff I didn't focus on at all last year at launch. Spending time leveling miner and botanist (kind of a drag, but still doing it for some reason) and unlocking all the new content I've missed since T5 coil was the peak of the game (so uh, launch and 2.1). Timing seems good with 2.4 and the expansion announcement, as people seem excited for the game and folks seem to enjoy what we have currently.
Yeah, all the MNK gear pre-2.4 will be shared with NIN. After that they get their own gear.
But what if I bring my naked BRD?
Too many new NIN mains and alts, going to have to gear something else as an alt class until the dust settles ;__;
At least there's tome gear.
The farewell to SCoB.
