I meant Chaos within FFXI, pulled out of the hat and retconned as a key figure in the history of Vana'diel. YouTube Video Placeholder |

Doing some ROE in SOA area and HELM i keep getting "You are too fatigued" I cant find any info of how to shorten the fatigue. Any info would be great. thanks :)
You have Ionis? It makes a massive difference in the fatigue rate. |

Thank you!

I apologize, I meant Chaos within FFXI, pulled out of the hat and retconned as a key figure in the history of Vana'diel.
Chaos was of course an already very well known thing in the FF universe!

The existance of Chaos itself. YouTube Video Placeholder
They even made it gold, just like the OG Chaos. |

Is there more running around in tVR than other story content? Yes!
Granted there's a lot of "useless running around" in most other FFXI main storyline content, I wouldn't say the difference is HUGE but yeah, it's there.
I think it got further emphasized by the episodic and slow release of the story, which really took a long time to finally get to a point where you felt something was happening. |

The result though... it's a bunch of retcons
I'm not as knowledgeable about tVR as I am the other storeis, could you explain what retcons you're talking about? A whole lot of them, but mainly the existance of Prime Weapons, which was retconned as the "original" ones, which actually served as models for the Relic ones.
Then the Galka stuff with Odin and the eye and the talekeeper.
The existance of Chaos itself.
Blah blah, all stuff that was inserted into the FFXI storyline through a series of retcons, to justify having new antagonists and new parts of the story to explore.
After all, other than a plethora of side stuff, there's not a lot of "main" things to explore in FFXI after RoV.
Retcons aren't necessarily bad though, as a plot device.
I could name a plethora of examples where retcons have been used incredibly well.
Most of the time though, they're just an "easy" escape for script writers and, as such, not really a good thing.
Talking specifically about TVR I'm a bit on the fence. I don't think they were incredibly bad, I wouldn't go as far as to say they fit in like a perfect tetris piece either though.
Jm2c of course! |

The story might have been somewhat interesting if you weren't forced to run around the entirety of Vanadiel on endless quests designed to waste as much of your time as possible...
Is there more running around in tVR than other story content?
I've played through almost all the story content twice and if you follow the story to unlock home points, survival guides, etc, I'm not really sure if this is true. There is a dungeon-crawling element to RotZ and CoP that is kinda lost in the modern MMO beeline.
I will say, putting Uran-Mafran behind the Altepa gate is a bit insane. |

3 players with no mule sounds like a challenge.
Would say "impossible!" for a couple of Helms, but I've seen so many things pulled off that I previously deemed impossible, that I guess I wouldn't be surprised at all to see just 3 people doin that.
Still, wouldn't say that would be an easy feat either!
Also afaik the T3 and T4 Escha NMs, all of which have scaling HP, do not scale further down from 6. Meaning they will have the same HP wether you fight them with 6, 5, 4 etc
Right?

Actually, effortpost, I am amazed I hit rank 8:
All jobs 99
6 jobs mastered, 3 over ML5, highest is 31
12 job AF questlines complete
983 RoEs complete
Divine/Healing/Ninjutsu (lmao)/Puppet melee/Puppet magic skills not capped(!)
Current crafts all 70s + one 98 (have had a 110, started a shield but only got to second stage, currently deleveling / releveling them for KIs and titles)
Chocobo digging A45 (we still write that this way, right?)
~5 HTMB VD clears (all cleared on N)
All missions complete incl. Abyssea and 3 mini-expansions
Monstrosity: got some 90s
2 Mythic, 1 Aeonic, 1 Empyrean, 0 Relic, 0 Prime
Moogle Mastery 7/4/7, half of Sheol Gaol not even cleared at V0 (mostly tier 1/2)
Missing 100+ random sidequest titles, Lambton Worm, Cemetery Cherry, Tiamat, Jormungand, Tzee Xicu, Bakgodek
2/6 tier 3 voidwalker titles, no Yilbegan (yet!)
No total chocobo racing circuit wins titles / missing a few chocographs
Incursion KI 125 (2 levels above min)
No skirmish rank V clears
No Aminon kill
No Mastery Trials
No Tumult Curator
No Fu (I should get a Niqmaddu Ring someday, huh?)
All zilart/empyrean ws quests, 1 mythic ws quest
Fully merited except a few points short of Weapon Skill cap (1/5 in everything except 5/5 Requiescat + Last Stand, the ones I ever use)
Missing 500/1000 Mog Garden entries/ponds/lakes/beach items, do have 1000 kills
Missing 42 mementoes
100 Moblin Maze Mongers maze clears but only a few more (not all maze types clear, not all runes but yes everything you can buy)
If anyone wants to examine specific stuff I'm lacking, I can elaborate, but broadly I'm amazed it's actually this "low", even though I have a huge amount of playtime and have done a lot of stuff. 8 seems like it should have been higher!
Interested to know:
- Dyna-D progress
- Meebles
- In-game playtime
- Approx age of the character (real life time since it was created as a character in real life time) |

I am rank 6 and the only things you are surpassing me in are:
-crafting shield
-chocobo digging
-abyssea titles
-monstrosity
-pre adoulin side-quests
-chocobo racing
-moblin maze stuff
And it seems that most of the above you haven't even gone to the max so the old content stuff must be worth alot! |

Does anyone know exactly how Haste Samba works?
I mean, from a programming perspective/buff/debuff interaction.
When you hit a monster with haste daze, you see the animation if you don't have any Enspells, but I was curious since you don't actually get even a temporary buff showcasing increased JA haste, how exactly is it increasing your JA haste as you strike?
What criteria actually prevents it, and does it have any fickle interactions / weird stuff go on behind the scenes?
Bring me all the info on Haste Samba! I want to know more!

Yeah, can't do anything with a tie except give it to everyone
|
|
|
|
Everyone that ties at max will get it, even if it's a thousand
Oh cool. That's fair I spose. Has it always been that way? |

I realized something else, not a story criticism per se but a major difference. Every other story has the waifus, TVR had the Destiny Destroyers. I could not bring myself to care any way about them. Completely uninterested.
I mean, Gloom Phantom, aka Boudox, is the expansion heroine. From start to finish. It's a damn shame they hit the trust limit because she should have one like the rest of them do. |

FFXIclopedia says Tree Cuttings have ice affinity, but BG says water. I'm guessing no one actually knows.
