Just to question the philosophy. Army of Socrates.
Most memorable moment would have to be shortly after the game released. No not the "OMG where are the servers" time...Nope. I got the game for my ps3 because well, it just seems the 'right' place to play Final Fantasy games. Well I was tanking some mid level dungeon, I honestly forget which one as they all sorta blurred into one large string. This is what happens when you play for days straight because once you left it took too long to get back
Well anyway, I was tanking away and we stopped because someone had 'wife aggro'. Of course being on a PS3 it took me a moment to type having to actually reach for the keyboard (I should invest in a wireless one) but when the AFK player got back, they were completely and utterly shocked that I was playing on a PS3 while they were playing on a computer. I guess they didn't know that both could play on the same servers or even together. He (guessing here..going with odds due to wife aggro) figured that playing on a PS3 I would have less ability to click skills or move or something. So we lost another 15 minutes of time as I got hammered with questions, "How do the graphics compare? Does the controller make it easier to play? How do I type?" even a "OMFG I'd never had known if you didn't say you had to pick up your keyboard!"
It was one of those nice "Everyone is just a gamer" moments, none of this "Master race/PC vs console" crap that happens so much on the forums these days.
I remember my first FF game was for the original Nintendo system (the white one with the flap on the front where the cartridges went in). I had to decide what actions to do and at which enemy. You then enter it all in and just watch, I thought it was awesome. I've played many FF games since, but have yet to play a FF MMO, but I hope to.
Best moment in FFXIV is easy.
Happened only a few weeks ago honestly, a new player and member of my free company was looking for help with a dungeon during an off peak time. We didn't have many members on at the time and he was shouting for help. After a short time a lvl 50 warrior volunteered to help, not only that, but stopped and took the time to craft a whole new set of high quality gear for my member. A few days after I was told that story that gentlemen warrior was looking for help with a titan hard mode run, so I rallied the free company to return the favor. After that run he joined up with us and it's been a great bit of fun!
Close second, early access I saw three lalafells with the right color hair / gear named Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles.
Playing: FFXIV, DnL, and World of Warships
Waiting on: Ashes of Creation
Ruby Weapon fight was easy. Just combine final magic with pheonix and mp regen materia and you will keep reviving your self every time he kills you and keep getting back max mp. And just keep doing knights of the round until hes dead.
At least final fantasy fan girls are actually attractive unlike most fantasy mmos. The game sort of had its own facebook style website back then called finalfantasyplayers.com or something and I was surprised by how many hot girls I was playing with in game.
I am so good, I backstabbed your face!
Ahh, the best moment I can recall is watching a Lalafell train in Wineport, getting circled around (I was playing an Elezen), and watching them all do /panic. Silly but hilarious to watch.
That's my favorite emote for the game. The Lalafell /panic.
Good Luck!~ Hope 2 of you win this. I already own Nividia Geforce 650 GTX - I planned upgrade to 750 or 850 later this year, and power supply that's all.
See you in game! Kupo!
My Favorite moment from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is
When I was adventuring about in South Shroud and came across a fierce little lalafell Gladiator who was close to death locked in battle. I began healing him and he stopped running and turned and faced his foe. I kept him alive during his battle and when he was done instead of the normal exchange pleasantries and move on, we grouped up together. We climbed on top of our Chocobos and set off in search of new adventures, until we would come across the mysterious Haukke Manor. We accompanied a group of DPS looking for a healer and a tank into the dungeon and faced the enemies within. We fell against Lady Amandine, and the DPS wanted to give up but the Lalafell and I gave words of encouragement and gave it another shot. We just barely pulled through and downed the boss. It was a great sight seeing our characters cheer and after that my new friend invited me to his Free Company.
It's a basic story, with just a regular dungeon run, but was made so much better by being in the beautiful Eorzea and is still my favorite moment that changed how my game would be from that point.
