Wtf is a vod? Is this a content creator language?
A vod is just the raw, unedited footage. The video watches like "This is what I did today in FFXI" and not so much like "This is how DNC performs under optimal conditions in a seg run".
That or maybe he's transmitting sensitive information about retail to the PS overlords. /shrug |

Can we come up with some more absolutely bonkers equivalences of /checking someone in FFXI?
It's like if I come over to your house and put my feet on your table. You kindly tell me "In my house it's a rule, feet stay on the floor". I reply, "*** your rules, my feet follow my rules".
I know the request was for most bonkers equivalent, but in my mind, it's more like checking your cell phone at the dinner table. If someone asks you not, then don't do it I guess? |

I think TS for elementals is correct. You pull the initial tag w/ triple shot, run up and Leaden, then melee w/ Rostam B for TP for the rest. Rinse Repeat.
Porxie dies just fine melee in 2 skillchains of Leaden > Wasp > Leaden. Just hold for 2kish TP to guarantee. You'll know your in good shape if the 1st skillchain gets it to 50% or less, you can gauge how much tp you need based on the 1st skillchain. Pull it with double QD since you probably have 0TP from bolters-ing over to it.
Why hold Triple....? Where else in the entire run are you using Triple on COR outside of the initial pull

Maybe the reason some Japanese players like subligar so much in FFXI... is because there’s no actual fundoshi in the game.
Can't believe we wasted a question in the Reddit AMA a while back on trying to get the dev team to look at Kannagi/Blade: Hi when we could have been asking for fundoshi. I hope that next time we get direct contact, the English-language and Japanese communities can come together to ask for fundoshi.
Sorry for the late reply.
Before the final jobs, SCH and RUN, were decided, there were actually people in Japan who were seriously hoping for a sumo wrestler (rikishi) job.
On the Japanese wiki, there's even a joke page dedicated to the rikishi job.
Even in FFXIV, it seems like there are still occasional discussions about wanting a sumo job, which is honestly pretty funny.
Japanese people seriously pursuing silly ideas might seem strange, but it's also something I find kind of admirable.

The fact that /check pisses people off is a feature of the game for some people.
Can we come up with some more absolutely bonkers equivalences of /checking someone in FFXI?

The difference is that I'm being sarcastic when I say that.
You're actually spooked over "Nameはあなたをじっと見つめた。"

I don't need confirmation. I've witnessed a very high level COR clear B objective and Porxie (if he's there) before I can run to Acuex and kill 6 for metal. He usually hits me with bolters right around the time in finishing my 6th. Sometimes its close, but he can definitely clear it minus porxie before my 6 and beat me to H. When asked how he does it, he said he doesn't engage, just triple shot in max set and fires off 3 Leadens. I've even tried it myself, and even without DP, I've cleared it faster than the 3 step way. I've not seen any COR able to do it that fast using any other method.
But you guys can debate which su5 is better
If Porxie is in the same room, Triple shot is the way to go. If not, I hold Triple shot until I find the Porxie (if it's near by). I try to be judicious on when I use TS given the recast timer on it. |

Just block him, you won't be able to see him say it in vain.

aka: kick them out your house.
This is exactly what happened to the OP more or less and why he came here asking the question in the first place, I'm glad you understand and agree ;) |

Different cultures you say?
Well then, you'd think the culture that mandates you ask for permission before checking their pixels would put a yes/no prompt on the check function, considering the game was made in that culture, similarly how they have a yes/no prompt on trades, party invites, tractor, raise, etc.
The culture that made the game decided to not change the check message, not alter the check message, but instead opted to put a filter. Its almost as if the people who made the game, that are part of that culture, essentially said "skill issue, heres the filter if the message upsets you".
The examine feature was designed this way and naturally inherited this habit among a specific region of players. The game was made in that culture yes, but I am pretty sure jerks like OP's behaviour were not a top priority to MANDATE a prompt, lmfao, dude.
Pixels pixels pixels, you like that word. Different players immerse themselves in various way with the game. What's trivial for you could be significant for others.
You are bringing arguments to this topic to discuss the examine feature in a generic manner, while this is not the case anymore, after OP bullshitted his side of the story, where it turned out he was an idiot in many forms. Had it been otherwise, then ya, but it is not.
On a personal note, I've been slapped before for examining Japanese players and friends, wherein the slaps were a reactive response or humorous one respectively, sometimes a /blush from close friends.
It's really not that big of a deal as you make out to be, try to relax. |

Well i googled and yeah literally a week ago in the sortie thread...
"I forgot to mention this weeks ago about Aminon and something we observed. Apparently, he has some anti-shooting Ranged damage resistance, something to the effect of more than a -90% resistance to ranged damage. The BG wiki page says he takes 100% ranged damage and the notes make no mention of any ranged damage nerf, but as far as at least physical ranged WS damage goes, it has to be like a -90%~99% nerf or so. We had the idea during songs to break up WS and give the COR shooting buffs, since he wanted to try out Terminus with his new toy. It did like 2k damage several times with SV buffs and Bolster bubbles. This must have been SE's way of eliminating the "kite Aminon and shoot him" strategy.
I don't have the exact numbers on what the cut is so I won't edit the wiki page just yet, but if someone else has the opportunity to observe their damage and estimate and confirm what we found, we can edit it afterwards so the page is accurate."

Now were equating the /c function in FFXI to wearing muddy shoes in someone elses house lmao
but hey, theres a solution to that:
2A-blist the problematic LS member aka: kick them out your house.
But not before a lil bit of this:

This right here is the crux of what the "snowflake-haters" seems to like to ignore. And the main issue at hand. 
source:
Japanese culture has an lot of social etiquette that doesn't exist in other cultures, even in rl. Ask for permission before checking is probably one of them. As everyone in the LS knows, I never said that using /check is bad.
I've always said, “You can look as much as you want if you just say something before you /check.” johnb even if you honestly forgot being asked not to check, you could have simply apologized instead of doubling-down and trying to deflect blame away from yourself. But now I reside in a JP ls and have for quite some many years and everyone has always asked to check gear first, both due to etiquette and out of respect. You are absolutely correct, I got confused between this thread, and the one posted in the WHM sub. My bad. |

I actually would have been better off if I just dropped the Kupon.
You can't feel bad about the choice if you never choose.
And I decided not to log in just to get the kupon.
When I get back, probably I will simply restart my new chars over, probably to record the playthrough |

This thread was opened with the of if the OPs action was moral or not and we were given 0 information/context. Whether this intentional or not doesn't matter at this point.
Had someone else warp out of Omen today after using /check on them. The person was a Japanese player. They got too angry saying 気分が悪い (bad feeling).
Question is, am I bad for using /check on someone? Why do people get so angry in this day and age? Why don't the people just turn the /check filter on in their logs if they don't like it?
And later OP reframed the original intent.
Well this person is a LS/Linkshell member. Not a stranger.
The topic question posed the question it if is okay to use /check at any time, even during combat when idle (like I was on White Mage at the time).
Which is already borderline a jerk move considering he's supposed to be in combat and paying attention. But this is also still not the actual issue.
We find out the whole story from wingath who was kind enough to not only get their story translated, but also nagivate an english website that (I argue) most JP players don't use/even know about. And OP confirms this is what actually took place and uses excuses as a defense. Which I'll spoiler as it'll make this post extremely long.
Apologies if it sounds a bit off. I used ChatGPT to translate it from Japanese to English.
Hey, I recently noticed that you've been writing about this in a place like this.
You're not lying about the situation, but since not everything is written, let me add a few points.
As everyone in the LS knows, I never said that using /check is bad.
I've always said, “You can look as much as you want if you just say something before you /check.”
For some reason, you often peek when there's a lot of combat log flowing during battle.
Did you think I wouldn't notice because of the log spam?
It's really strange because you do it even when you're playing as a support job or as a damage dealer.
After being warned several times about using /check without saying anything,
you promised not to do it again.
But you broke that promise right away and did it again.
When I asked why you couldn't keep your word, your answer was, “Because the system allows it.”
That's when I decided I couldn't trust you anymore.
The time you peeked at me was during a boss fight.
You were participating in Omen because there was something you wanted,
and you were playing as the White Mage in the tank party.
I didn't want anything and was just helping out.
I was playing as a damage dealer, and when the boss's HP had dropped below half
and I landed a big WS hit, you peeked at me.
Unfortunately, I change gear when I use WS, so /check doesn't mean anything at that point.
That's why I told you, who wasn't doing your White Mage job properly, that it made me feel bad.
Since victory was already certain and I thought you'd take things more seriously if you stopped /checking me, I left.
"I've always said, “You can look as much as you want if you just say something before you /check.”"
This is true but it is rarely ever done in practice in this game. I will do so in the future though with you.
"After being warned several times about using /check without saying anything,
you promised not to do it again.
But you broke that promise right away and did it again.
When I asked why you couldn't keep your word, your answer was, “Because the system allows it.”
That's when I decided I couldn't trust you anymore."
This "warning" happened over several days, yes. Yes I did say I wouldn't do it again, but it was an accident that I /check during an Omen caturae boss, sorry. I was curious at the time and forgot about the "warnings."
"Since victory was already certain and I thought you'd take things more seriously if you stopped /checking me, I left."
It's just an Omen boss fight. Not that serious. On top that, OP wasn't told by just 1 person, but by several and all within the same linkshell.
I accidentally deleted the original post. Here is the original text:
I don't think it was really an accident. I heard from some LS members later that you had also /checked a few other people too, right?
"Not during that specific Omen fight, no. But yes I check other people all of the time and they are not bothered. "
That's not true. Other LS members have also warned you about using /check.
OP started the thread about the /check action itself, but the issue was never that, it was about repeated behavior.
Let me use the example of inviting a friend over to your house who doesn't wipe their shoes. Tracks dirt/mud/etc all over the floor. You tell them you don't mind them wearing shoes inside the house but ask them kindly to just wipe them when they enter. They tell you that noone else asks them to do such(this is a lie) and chooses to not wipe their shoes entering your house. Would you brush this off and let it be or stop inviting them over?
Or you go to a restaurant and maybe not necessarily a friend, but an acquaintance across the way just stares at you even after asking them to stop, at what point does it get under your skin?
Take your pick of either scenario doesn't matter, in the end, OP was requested to stop a specific behavior and chose to not stop and continue to be disrespectful. In my book he's a jerk that I would also leave and stop helping. In line with the topic title, it is immoral imo.
And the other 2+ pages of this thread never left this comment which missed the whole mark.
So, just to make sure
Is it the chat log spam that upsets you?
Or is it because of how the /check message is worded on the JP client? |

I picked the sword for all the jobs. Obviously not turning everything I play into a DD, but the alternatives I was considering were the dagger and the katana.
