Goodnight my good friend, the world and my life won't be the same without you. Thank you for everything

Hey friend. Despite being on the site for nearly as long as you it seems we never managed to meet up and talk. That seems a shame because I'm told you were a great guy. I hope wherever you are you have found peace from all your health issues and can game to your hearts content. We will help keep the fight up against Bak'laag and you can enjoy your well earned rest. Cheers.

Rest in peace Mr. Kaiser, you will be missed.

Hey sweetie. What a legacy you've left us. Your silliness and quirky wit will always be remembered among those you got close to. You were taken from us too soon and there's just no forgiving that.

Rest in Peace, Kaiser. Your game will never truly be over.

DRAGON QUEST VICTORY

Looking for that dang fourth Chaos Emerald

MILES PROWER

Sort of. You get the choice to either restore the community center and the town with that or become a Joja Corp. member and hep THEM restore the town with money. The community center becomes their new warehouse and there's no more Juminos.

I'll talk to my pops about it!!! Unfortunately(?) I'm kinda chained to him and where he is cause FFXI is our fam bonding activity hahahahaha, so I don't wanna hightail it without him BUT I know he doesn't feel one way or the other about our server. Our server is so dead that he's brought up switching before, but his only request has been "not a really busy server full of assholes", which is a concern I think he developed off reading Reddit...........

What part? I actually really liked the stories and sidequests overall but... There were a few missions that had me gauging my eyes out. Some of the mission "mini-games" are so brain-meltingly dumb... Red light/green light & playing tag with explosions were two of the most soul destroying ones for me. It was really cool to see how the story intertwined with some of the vanilla lore though... I happened to be doing the exact AF quests that have lore in the WotG city missions, so it was like seeing it from two perspectives at once.

And I didn't have a Discord but now I do!!! I'm AYAIKUN#5546! Honestly I never seem to get notifications so I take forever to respond, but it's there!

Summoner is sooooooo fun imo. I got really into the job back in the real early years because I thought the avatars looked cool as heck & they had a reputation for being some of the best DDs endgame. But... nobody invited SMNs to parties because they were basically used as worse versions of WHMs until ~70-75. So I had to solo the job to 75 haha. I used to sic Carbuncle on Bombs in Ifrit's Cauldron or Uleguerand Range and kite them around until they used Self-Destruct... Then of course months later they buffed SMN and it's awesome now...

Yeah the Maat Alter Ego is just 6 jobs to 75 & beating him up a bunch. I'm trying to finish the quest with his hat right now, which is all vanilla + zilart jobs to 75+ and beating him on all of them... Luckily with Trusts it's kind of nothing now but still a slog.

My server is definitely quiet enough that there aren't many groups even going on... My dad stays pretty tuned into the community since he stil plays like crazy & says that the really active server is currently Asura iirc. He keeps thinking about moving to it but doesn't wanna leave me & I kind of like being on a quiet server. I'm not sure I could do the whole guild+grind style of play anymore... I was so married to the game & my linkshell from like 2004-2009 and I kind of like running on my own schedule now hahaha.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be 100% done with this game... since there's also crafts and RoE quests it feels like it'll just go on forever. I kind of want the struggle to go on for the rest of my life tbh

Also sorry I take so dang long to respond, been sick for the past week+ so I haven't been doing a whole lot of being up at the computer and typing this much on my phone is torture!!!

WOOOO MY LAD HAVE YOU OPENED A BARREL OF WORMS BY ASKIN ME ABOUT OL FFXI

I think I'm going to be playing this game until they shut the servers down or I die, whichever happens first. Doing all three nation missions totally isn't a problem now for 99s... when I quit the last time back in ~2011 I had gotten stuck on the final Windurst quest, which was kind of annoying for a level 90 solo. Now with 99+117-119 gear and trusts it's a whole lot of nothing. So I just zoomed through Bastok as well (I'd been Sandy 10 for years), and I'm not sure whether it's because I'm older and can appreciate the storylines more, but Bastok actually wound up being my favorite of the bunch. I just thought the tensions and the history behind it was interesting. I'd also been playing the WotG story alongside the Bastok story missions and it surprisingly added a lot to it.

I've just been on a stupid quest to complete the entire game, which is half maddening and half satisfying. I'm kind of ignoring the Adoulin story right now (I'm on like 4-2) in order to play cleanup on all of the old content. I'm kinda defining "complete" as all expansion jobs at 99 + all expansion quests done. There are a few quests I'm excluding (obviously the Bastok quest where you need to get 5 other adventurers of the same race under level 10 is pretty much impossible now), but if it's doable by a small group of 99s I'm including it. So far I've actually wiped out RoZ, CoP, ToAU, WotG, and all of the mini expansions, so it's really just vanilla + Adoulin. The number of quests in the main game is... trying, but most of the stories are so good it hasn't really felt like it!

I'm not sure what server you're on, but I'm on Sylph and it's honestly kind of dead. I maxed out my treasure hunter on THF so I can farm my own quest items, and whenever I get extras I throw them on the AH and they sell instantly. I feel like I'm keeping the economy alive by myself sometimes hahaha. But there's so little competition for monster spawns etc. that it almost feels like a single player experience, which is cool in its own way.

I've rambled foreverrrrrr now but I honestly love this game so much. Are you just looking to max out DNC and do all the storylines? And which server are you on???

Great because you can actually use a Gamecube controller

Yakuza 2

Been focusing on clearing out smaller games from the backlog before I dive back into the huge adventure that is Breath of the Wild.
