I had seriously wondered for a long time whether they were supposed to be a homage to the Nu or just some incredibly obscure mythological reference.

... I wonder if this means I can blame Sage 'RED LIKE FERRARI' Sundi for Poshul and Korcha?

Gloom simply chose to lose his son to something new other than XI.

Plus his woman can enjoy Wii Fit in the mean time.

Ok, XBL was working just fiine ealier today, but now I cant do anything. It's incredibly retarded that the 360 version of Playonline requires you to be logged into XBL first before you can even stat the damn thing, yet everything worked fine to keep me online for FFXI when XBL got shut down yesterday.

So there's this new minigame event going on where you heard buffalo, and if you win you get some prizes, such as a thing that turns you into bugs:



They jump pretty high



You also get this horn:



Oh and here's me laughing at how stale Gouki's place is.

I still can't figure out how to let poeple into my moghouse.

Re: FFXI topic (Sept Update is Here)

Either talk to the moogle or open your menu to go to the mog house menu.

at the bottom is has an option to open your MH. but only people in your party can enter.

So I was running through Upper Jeuno when I ran into something invisible. There was this graphical glitch or something that was blocking my way, on this very tiny spot. I got Gouki to come over and check it out and he confirmed it too. So I called a GM to see what's up.

This is the response I got.



To top it all off, he appeared right before us!




GM sightings are rare, so it's easy for me to say, I think I creamed my pants a little today.

Re: FFXI topic (Sept Update is Here)

OK. So I downloaded the 14-day trial. I have no idea what I'm doing. I barely managed to figure out the movement controls. How to play dis?

Re: FFXI topic (Sept Update is Here)

Change your controls to Compact Keyboard controls.

Then it's just WSAD using the mouse on the edge of the screen to turn the camera.

I am guessing it's the PC version.

Re: FFXI topic (Sept Update is Here)

I had this problem too.

Just hit "fn" plus "-" and that'll bring up the menu, go to config and change it to compact controls like RD said.

[Red Dragon]

Re: FFXI topic (Sept Update is Here)

Or the middle mouse button.

[DarkwingChuck]

Re: FFXI topic (Sept Update is Here)

"Fn -" who the frak came up with this control scheme? Or did they just throw together a very awkward transliteration of the PS2 controls?

[Biggie]

Re: FFXI topic (Sept Update is Here)

It's so you can access the menu then change the configurations more fit for a laptop.
