Summers End.

Its been a long and relaxing summer in Vana’diel and England. While the latter saw no sun at all, in Vana’diel the temperature soared as the yearly Summer Fest kicked into action.
SM got together at very short notice and decided to spam the hell out of the events >=D No matter how many times I do goldfish scooping it never ever gets old ^_^ its so fun! Tawooo was a crazy lady at it, getting so many fish she gave about 3/4 of them away XD (mainly to me, thank you!) allowing moi towards getting a goldfish set 
So now I have a sweet Fighting Fish Tank!
*Insert pretty picture here*
o, wait, maybe not.
I still need to get Alchemy to 7 ^_^; which I will do… someday… like… maybe by Christmas…
NEXT! Pretty dancing game thing.
This was also very fun and allot better then the events where we simply spam /cheer constantly. We all got our +1 gear so now we can party it up at Purgonorgo Isle! HELL YA! T10 points to anyone who can spot all the LS members in that picture~
Lil bit of info I just found out; If you wear the +1 event gear and then call your Adventuring Fellow they’ll have it on too pretty slick!
BUT IT DOESNT END THERE! Oh no. Three mini-games were added which we’re the best minigames ever in FFXI. In my opinion they showed PS2 limitations is a total cop-out excuse, as these games we’re really fresh and broke the mould of FFXI.
In a recent interview this was said:
Official in-game events have also really changed. Recently, the Sunbreeze Festival became a Superheroine Stage Show, which was surprising.
Ogawa: (laughs) Actually, personally, I was a little surprised at the scathingly critical reaction to the event. In-game events have been done over and over, so I thought something new would not be an issue, but I took a lot of heat from all over the world. Guess I learned my lesson.
NOOOO SE. I loved this event, it was so fresh! I havnt heard one person criticise it, so i dont know where you get your info from… The last sentence concerns me slightly >.> sort of ‘I wont try any more’. Please dont think that ; ;
Although it was a great event I didn’t have as much fun compared to previous years due to LS drama centring around people not using chat filters, which was just ridiculous. But I digress…
Great job on the event SE!
Assault
The SM assault party got started up, which was amazingly fun to do! Laptop troubles made me miss a large amount of runs which I was gutted about ): However once that was fixed Assault provided a change of pace and was constructive too 
I’m not too far off getting the gear I’d like. Since we’ve all gone back to uni the statics been on hold due to the mayhem going on, but i’m soooooo up for getting back into the swing of this ! Just gotta sort out my uni net first…. :/ I just tried to dual-box with Barthezz and it wont let me here. What am i gonna do >_< I’m so used to having Barth at my beck and call ; ;
Windurst Missions
Christ. It was back in July I changed to Windurst and I’ve not mentioned it yet! So far its been a hoot
The story resembles what I’d expect from an FF allot more then Bastok. Bastoks ended nicely but it didnt really have that Final Fantasy feel, but Windy packs a magical punch!
Ranks one and two I’ve basically been through before. Anyone remember Lawliet, Yotsuba or Callychan? 
(My friend Wes who speratically played FFXI, getting through three characters and never levelling past 15 over the course of two years XD) But while I knew what to do and what was going on, I’d never got to see the top of Heavens Tower before. What a great place it is!
Puts the Metalworks to shame! I spent ages just walking round here, observing all the different views and lighting. The celling is really unique, a sense of awe goes with it Simply put; this zone is beautiful. I can’t belive its from the original game.
Rank three took a while to get past. I had a semi static with Spankey and Amith so was always waiting on people to catch up XD Needless to say, we pwned!
The Sybils chamber is another unique and pretty area. It actually feels like she lives there with all the books and porn lying around. Looks kinda like my room actually.
Windy deffo got all the love when they were designing FFXI… poor, poor Bastok. I swear Basty was rushed into completion :/
Next is a picture of the Star Sybil balancing a vase on the back of her head which is burning incense.
Miss Sybil, YOU CRAZY!
While I’m on a slight tangent; I think its cool she has several Lady in waiting. Thats a nice touch that adds a sense of realism. Thats also kinda like my room.
Yup,
realism with these Magic wielding dwarfs who live in stone trees.
BEFORE I COULD BLINK RANK 5 WAS HERE!
And look who sent me on my merry way,
SPOILER: [Hes pretty good at giving me orders from beyond the grave.]
Despite the confusion in MillionsKnives soul over what he just witnessed, Knives trotted off on his merry way~
And boy did I look cool doing it. That lighting hits me perfectly. Maybe green is my colour?
Before I knew it my favourite CS in the whole game hit me in the face like a can of tuna;
EGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS!
Bastardo 5-1 came and went with ease. We completed two runs so Livija could get Datsi and Datsuki up a rank Gratsssss
Woop Woop!
Then came the easy Shadowlord fight. In the Windy story line, this was totally out of the blue…
‘The mystery of the Saru Towers, what could they be for? And what of the first summoner?’ You, MillionsKnives, must unravel this mystery.
Hey, is that the Shadowlord?’
This mission would have been great fun if we didnt have so many people along for the trip >_> I will never understand why people don’t:
1. Bring maps up before hand so that they know where to go, thus not being a burden on others.
2. Follow some who has one if they’re unable to bring a map up.
3. FOLLOW THEM IF YOUR USING OPTION 2!!!!
People always run off the wrong way, get lost, die, give birth or some shit like that when theyre meant to be following someone! DRIIIIIVES ME NUUUTS
*Ahem* The good news is we got there in the end.
To find out several people couldn’t get into the BCNM because of missed cut scenes etc….
….
Anyways, FIGHT!
The PLD there was a dood who showed up out of nowhere, he picked up the people who got lost inside the castle several times and then tanked the fight for us. His name escapes me but thank you whoever you were! And this is like… the… 4th time Plananx II has been useful! YAY!!
I kid,
I kid,
It wasnt useful at all, he was taking barely any damage anyways. I should start Endgame just so I get to use my damn spells hahaha.
…
/cry
Das next mission involved public relations with the Yagudo. Apparently, to keep them happy, i needed to go kill three of their best men.
Prime Directive meant I had to follow their customs, so I killed them good!
Now the story started to get really good :0 We headed off to Yutunga and discovered the truth (for the second time ^^;) about the Tonberrys. However this wasnt easy at all
This fight was filled with lulz XD
I think we all died about five times each.
The mob pop points and linking factors were a bitch! Sight linking but you need to open doors to pop the NM (not to mention they see thru doors >.>) and then magic pots dotted about! Plus this tTnberry had one uber Rancor.
Amith got the record:
Amith takes 32,000 damage.
Lesson: Wipe your hate before this fight.
It was funny but like hell! Raises left right and centre XD
That just about puts me up to date. I’m now Windy Rank 8, and stuck there because our static has seemingly ended -_-; I’m not perticually miffed about that, but what it does ruin for me is the story :/ t’was nice going through the missions fast so I actually remembered what was going on and how things were linking in. But now I’ve forgotten what was what :/ hence I can’t write about the story much in this section…
Misc Pics:
Kim testing macros;
A new record for EXP in Besieged. I was shocked when I saw this, apparently we killed the mega-boss and thats what did it :O
I had a really fun little mess around with Weis in Brenner Grats on level 74 by the way! Obviously he didnt stand a chance against a Red Mage but with a few (to many ^^;) restrictions placed on my it kinda evened out haha
Yet again…
Picture of my house for no reason
Spankey making a Mob train, he does this at any opportunity XD
We had our 3rd LS meet up aaaaaages ago which I forgot to write about. Zees is a pic of some chat shortly before hand. We were all sooo excited about meeting Dave XD
The meet up was really fun We had a day out in York, with mucho Pizza Hut! Our waiter told us if we sent the Pizza back it might get spat in XD But it was allllll a misunderstanding hahah. We ended up back at mine where w all partied the night away with Trivial Pursuit and Rock Band >=D We didnt get many good pics of that day ^^; but heres one for the lulz.
Till next time! *jumps off a bridge and trys to fly away*
WotG: Omg a pre-teen dancing! LETS FUCK HER.

lol hell yes!
So are you prepared for awesome listage!?
…
Its been 45 days, which doesn’t really seem like that long, but in my world its a long time to not play FFXI. I have logged on a few times but then realised there’s nothing to do and logged of again hahah, or logged on and asked someone to do something off the game, to which they say they love the game, then logged off because thats the reason I hate FFXI sometimes.
But there was the update :O new stuffs so I just had to check it ouuuut!
I’m wayyyyy behind on this blog, so there will be quite a few catch up entries lol (i.e I’m on ToAU mission 44 now and I haven’t posted that I’ve got beyond mission 15!). But for now l’ll focus on the last few days
Windy WotG Quests
I finally got that fucking 108 Knot Que. FUCK YOU QUE! The amount of swear words that come to mind over this is unbelievable! SE, killing DC/EM mobs over and over and over and over for a drop isnt fun game content… it wasn’t when you did it with the Gnole Claw and it still isnt with these Yags. No one else I know is going through WotG so I had to freaking solo them! Which wasnt cheep, fast or safe (they’re &*$%ing huddled together! I have to wait ages to pull them!) About 70 Yags later it finally dropped…
/evil stare >>> SE
But I got 100 exp a kill, so I guess that bit was ok lol
After that mission is a CRAZY fight where I had to kill hundreds of Yagudos @_@ OF I WENT!
Yup, pretty mad. It wasn’t that hard, but, I am awesome . They died very fast and using ice spikes on them made me giggle but my god, they just kept coming! At one point I ran out of mp, luckily had a Yag drink on me that saved my ass (dunno where that came from!). The CS around these missions are very cool, some of the best in the game. SE defo has a way with these war CS.
The story was based of Windy waiting for Sandy reinforcements, which are taking to long to get here. The Sandorians were debating sending none at all as the journey was so treacherous and time consuming. Which makes sense, from Sandy to this fort is a long way!
However,
Did the Sandorians forget troops teleport all over the show in Campaign? Theres a C.A in Southern Sandy who can teleport the entire Sandorian army to the fort in a matter of seconds… then apparently ever soldier is /blm as they all warp away after the fights have finished. So whats the problem?
Anyway…
I love this taru! What attack is that tho? XD The way they added -ga spells into the CS was sweet tho :3 Poor mithras got pwned.
Luckily something happened and the day was somehow saved i guess. Everyone’s favourite Manthra showed up to be all mysterious like. Mithras fought over his sexy twink body.
Little did they know he actually likes cock. Mill cock:
But who doesnt? Wish I’d got a batter pic of that heehee, he was sniffing around Mills crotch. I guess for a Hume, Mithra or Taru that looks ok, but gdi SE we’re not all small D: I want my head to fit into the CS for once ;_;
Thus ended the epic quests so far. I have no idea really what happened in them. But I know we all learnt to get along
Main WotG Missions
The plot here centres around Cute Cait Sith and his mysterious time traveling plans. In this chapter Millions decides to take a break from all this war madness and see some famous dancers dance.
*shrugs*
Funny thing was, FFXIs first gay character was introduced. Hes a dancer of course, hume naturally, has a lithsp like apparently every gay man, but the best thing is… HE HAS SPENS FACE! AND SPENCER IS LEVELING DANCER TO 75! LULZ hes based on Spen.
heehee.
Unlike what I’d expect to see, he isnt chasing after the yaoi boys and keeping them hostage (like Millions is,) instead hes hoarding little girls, which every man in Sandoria wants to get in bed with apparently. o_O SE, you were subtle with the yaoi boys but having characters actually drool over this young girl is just too Japanese for my liking!
She might be the games first cross-breed? Elvaan farther and Hume mother. Anyways, from now on shes called Prishe2.
She also has a thing for Mill crotch:
But who doesnt?
As the story advanced it came to pass that La Vaule needed defending. Nice work to SE on this zone and plot btw, in the CoP missions they mention the village there was named La Vaule~ so they do know what they’re on about.
The CS that followed were amazing. Never before has there been so much death in Vanadiel! A group of Dark Kindred show up setting everyone’s homes alight. Then the battle starts. First a soldier taking guard on a high watchtower is blasted with a spell and falls to his death. I shit you not, there is an ‘AHHHHHH!’ as he falls! TOTALLY AWESOME MAN! I missed getting a pic of that tho~ So heres a man on fire! o.o
OOOH look at him go. Next a civilian who was fleeing is blasted to hell by a Demon!
BANG!
Fighting in the flames o.o
This poor guy was strangled. In the next shot theres a ‘CRACK’ and he falls limp! GUTTED LULZ
Loved that! I have half a tonne of pictures from that CS hahaha. But it gets better! *points down*
How.
cool.
is.
that?!
The elvaan even has my face! My sexy, sexy face. In fact now I look at it the one behind is Daves face~ hee hee who is Rdm 74 now. I’ve tried to get the .dats to use on Mill but for sum reason they’re a lighter purple when I mod the files ; ;
Anyways, thus lead to an epic fight.
And I won.
Tho its ‘remove all you buffs’ buttfuck attack really screwed me over, I came out of that fight with about 12 mp and 100 hp >_>;
So yea, I SAVED THE MOTHERFRAKING DAY!
what did you do to help?
thats right, nothing.
Vanadiel would be doomed without my awesomeness.
The cute cait showed me what the world might end up like without my AMAZING skillz:
NOT ON MY WATCH! With mill around only this will be allowed:
Eat shit and die windy. You too sandy! Bastok > Ahty > Tav > Jeuno > Windy > Sandyscum.
Where was i?
Ah yes, i rock and cute caits were about.
MANY OF THEM!
WAAAA.
Mint.
Thats cool
Btw I hate FFVII.
I can hear the ‘BAWWWWWWW’ing from here.
U going down ShadowLord! …again!

Dum Dum Dum.
Yea im back shadowlord! And this time Munchetta wants Rank 6 to show up on his screen, that means killing YOU!
Getting to the throne room tho! Jeez that took forever, i dont know if we were actually following anyone but if we were they didnt know where to go >.> lol. Spen also fell down one of the holes so i had to drop down and escape him, then on we were a seprate group, but using my AMAZING map reading skills i got me and spen to the zone first lol ;P
Finally we got there~ obviously with so many of us it would be a doddle, i took the oppertunity to watch all the CS again, i wish that there way a way to just watch all the story through rather then going around to find the Bards etc. The fight began with the cool boss battle music We kicked ass, though Spankey Chainspelled and started to nuke before the ShadowLord went into his second form >.< when that did happen Spank converted and died, silly Spank lol
[Bye bye Galka man!]
Amith needed to get rid of the latent on his scythe for his quested weapon skill. We went to the Boyaba Tree so me and Maruk could skill up too. I was at 209 skill and after hours i barely skilled at all ; ; idk y. The important thing is ami broke the latent and we killed his WSNM too
Early on Amith Stunned of the the mandys and 3 others linked @_@ he died lol, me and Maruk were left with four Mandys to kill and then a crawler agro’d @_@! But we won Maruk and Mill are ze dream team! When i see him in his Sam gear and what he can do i just wanna quit rdm and lvl sam XD. Amith got a Raise III from a passer by so nothing to worry about
Speaking of Mandys:
Mandys live in little houses, SOOOO CUUUUUTE, awww it has little stairs going up to it ^.^ awwww
Suddenly!
/sh Optical Hat, Do you need it? Helpers cast lots on items.
Hmm o-hat run, that sounds like a good idea i can lot on the drops and Ami can get his hat! maybe i can get an o-hat
hmmm 250k for pop item… l’ll pass on that..
but um, i can lot on items. This is such a good idea!
no,
no it wasnt a good idea, it was kinda fun tho
10 people set off, i thought we’d need at least 12-15 to kill the mob, id seen my sister do it a few times and seen how close it can be with a tonne of people. Me and another rdm were the only healers and there was only 1 nin tank.
Everyone tried their best but we just had too few people, so we wiped…. twice ^^; I cant imagine what it must be like to just wave goodbye to 250k, poor people D: Amith didnt trade his cluster tho so he got off, and i got a scroll of Firaga III… not sure it was worth 2k exp tho XP
[ )': ]
Lastly, what an evil fishing guild in Windy… that mean taru forces the fish to swim upsidown!

Today was Rank day, Millions has been rank 7 for quite a while now and people are begining to laugh at him D: Why was today rank day you ask? Remember Barthezz is back? And he always has a plan to do 10 10hr things in 10 mins? well his plan today was to get Rank 10 for Mill and him.
The adventure began! And entrusted with the Nations secrets and the weight of calming the escalating racial tensions between Galka and Hume (both of which millions hates) the gang set out. (but i forgot to take screenshots <..>) Millions headed to Ro’Mare to defeat two Giants, which lead to a mission to rescue a captured citizen alledged to have a letter with information retaining to the Galkan people. The team tracked down the citizen and went for the rescue, returning him to the Republic. The reward for our efforts?
[Woot! and 60k ;P]
Now it was time for the story to heat up. The letter gained from the last mission instructed Mill to head into the depths of the Quicksand caves to find a statue of the first talekeeper, it hinted that the dark knight Zied may be there with the truth about the galkas past…
[Annaliese, myself, Amith and Barthezz]
Its was a long journey, but following the letters instructions Mill and co. finally found an ancient statue of the talekeeper :O
When WHAMMY! 3 badass NMs poped out of nowhere! will our heroes survive?
course they did, u were expecting them to die again weren’t u? The mobs were actually pretty easy, i DC’d for about 5 mins and got back + was invited to the party just as the last mob died, good timing ^^;
Zied appeared as suspected and then told the team to meet him somewhere else… he must have time to waste..
..but Mill is a patient RedMage and up for anything, so on his birdie he got!
…and found Zied again. This time Zied unveiled the ’secrets’ of the galka through a series of pretty pictures. However he’s been in that cave too long because everyone knows his ’secrets’.
Upon return to Bastok tensions had grown and a galka uprising was afoot, however while Millions stood and did nothing (he kinda wanted to see the galka mass the humes,) the Galka Talekeeper emerged and calmed the galka whith his sweet words of lurve.
[Woot and 80k ;P]
Next the Millions was orderd to again head towards the galkan homeland to defeat rogue Oozes. This would be an epic battle, and many friends (and many more strangers) would have to band together to defeat this foe.
Will our heroes survive?
ok… this ONE time we died…
The good thing is monsters don’t wait around 60 mins to see your body HP. Silly monsters, so after a few mins we were up and ready to try again! and we kicked ass!
Its the climax! The truth about the Shadow Lord was unveiled to Volker – his father had killed Cornelia and set in motion the events leading up to the Shadow Lord, it became clear that Zied wanted to settle a score. There was only one thing left to do, head to the shadow palace, abandoned for 20 years now, and put an end to Zieds misery.
Millions and the others busted through the castle and made their way to the top, heading for the throne room. Inside they met Zied, and words could work no longer. Millions had to fight it out. (with some awsome music playing!)
BUT! Volker had followed the team! luckily it was to fight on Mills side.
WHAM, BAM, ooops. Mill let volker die (i was in charge of watching his Hp, while he was at full i cast refresh on myself and he died in that time!) … now the Humes will surely destory the Galka. ‘Yippee’ thought Mill! but, the rest of the team weren’t so happy and wanted to fix things. We went out the door and came back in, Zieds memory isn’t what it used to be because he acted like the fight 5 mins ago never happened. Mill got down to business again and Volker appeared! wait… the gang just killed him didn’t they? odd…
This time his somehow re-animated corpse survived, and Zied, Volker and Mill all learnt to get along. Hand in hand the crew returned to Bastok, while Zied sank back into the shadows of the caves to become even more insane…
Millions reward was the highest rank his country had to offer, a flag…. and 100k 
The missions ended with a soliloquy buy Cornelia asking: ‘do you love your country?’ it was a lovely way to end the missions *^_^* and yes i do Cornelia.
In all the bastok story was alot better then i expected (when the missions actually concentrated on the story), it had nice lil morals and made me think ^^ ty ffxi, i feel like ive finished something for once!
All in a days work.
ty to Barth and Amith for helping, and Annaliese, a whm who stayed with us all the way through.
