Final Fantasy XIV: No You Can't.

Since nearly the entire Moogle Army was headed to Eorzea I figured I should too with Final Fantasy 14 being released within a month or two. The benchmark finally came out a couple weeks ago, so I got downloaded it, crossed my fingers and hoped. While my computer could probably run ff14, the settings would have to be at minimum as a maximum. I'm not interested in playing a fancy new game if the graphics aren't going to be much better than ffxi. So, I'll just buy the PS3 version when it gets released. This also means I'll have to buy a PS3. That's not too big a deal, what with my wife completely uninterested in the system. She'll probably just complete her stranglehold on the xbox. I didn't play it anymore, anyway.....


With that news, I've decided to head back to ffxi until I get 14. SE, realizing that the game doesn't have much time left, has decided to life nearly all the level caps from Chains of Promathia areas. Sounds awesome, but it's still impossible to get people together to do missions. Fuck them, I won't be here much longer anyway. Visions of Abyssea, on the other hand, is how SE should've been doing most endgame-level events the whole time. Quick trip through yet another Cavernous Maw, join an alliance of people and start killing. There aren't any xp chains, but the amount of xp you get slowly builds as long as you kill the same type of mob. I wish I had a screen shot of the time I was getting 600xp per mandragora. That makes it possible to go from 75 to 80 in about 4 hours. I went from 77 to 80 and maxed merits out. After I got back to my mog house and spent those merits, I went back the next day for a couple hours and maxed them back out. Then I noticed I stopped Beastmaster at 46. With the level caps gone, I could go get a gaudy harness and get back to it. Getting the subligar didn't take long, and the harness looks just as fruity as I remember. I've decided to run with that, so I went back and got another subligar. I hit level 50, so it's sexytime:
