x. Perma. Living in Foundation

One can hope to be in Foundation permanently during the new expansion, but for now, I'm going to live here like a hobo because I am maybe a bit obsessed with Fetes and grinding for skybuilders' scrips ᕕ( ᐕ )ᕗ

By the way, if anyone wants an antelope stag mount, feel free to give me a shout! Anyone in the FC Discord, if you don't have one, please adopt them! They're trying to find a forever home.

I'm also going to blame Hiro a bit because that one feteful evening, he was talking about the Fetes in Foundation. It got my interest so I decided to give it a shot... and then I'm just living every moment of it. I ended up making a new potato friend there and she is a very cute lalafell (ෆ’∀’ෆ)

This always amuses me, especially when there are a lot of people on doing Fetes. Look at the giant army of stuffed Mogs! Now if only, I wish I could make one for the FC house... sob sob.

Since you only need to hand in 3 giant stuffed mogs for max Fete credits, people like to bring their 4th mog up to the next Fete and have a giant mog dance party. Maybe they're trying to summon King Mog!?

The next fate is collecting fleece like a peasant. When I first did it, I had a HARD time finding my fleece on the ground due to the crowd. I did end up setting up a new layout for Fetes, but if I'm truly lazy, I learned the pro strat of pressing "X" on my keyboard to hide names.

As the Fetes go on, you get to see mascots coming out slowly and have a dance party! Of course, you get those chicken cosplayers come join the NPCs and dance with them.

Now my favourite Fete is the one with the lucky toy, and if you don't find the toy, you become a piggie! I have no idea why I find this one really amusing, but it also reminds me of the old Cucco raid a bit, way back in Stormsblood.

Whenever I see other people turning into piggies and watching them run up to other present boxes to find the lucky toy trade in,  (ˊ•͈ ◡ •͈ˋ) I just find it absolutely adorable??? I can't be the only one, right?

Then the last Fete is giving out presents to NPCs!!

Kaede joined me for a few Fete runs and of course I took some screenshots!

and I also stole her screenshots too, hehe!

We're so ready for the Fetes!! Party! Party! Party!

＼＼\(۶ ᐛ )۶//／／ Light sticks never go out of styleee ＼＼\(۶ ᐛ )۶//／／

Towards the end of the last Fete, a lot of people would take the present and head towards the main entrance of the Firmament. We totally made the Great Wall of Firmament and I always like to use the pink present box because:

a) the pink color is cute

b) the present is for children, but we can't always spoil them, you get me?

Thank you to some of my friends for helping me get a head start on grabbing some goods from the Fete grind!!

While I'm waiting for the next Fete campaign, I like to go into Diadem and do some gathering, so I can make extra trade-ins for scrips. I also wanted to try my luck in grabbing the Casual Attire Coffer (　；∀；) and I managed to get lucky!

That's it for now, until next post!

x. Fake-Ultimecia, Where You AT?

Hey Ocarina, how is everyone doing? I decided to slack last week and not do any blog posts...well, more so procrastinated really hard...cause reasons (which I'll share later). Today is just a quick Cucco raid update, and before I begin, I got some screenshots to dump first!

Rix and I are twinning for raid (if you plan to switch glamour, no hard feelings girl) hehe. Look how cute we are, but of course, Rix is the cuter one (　◕‿◕✿)

Gotta take some ninja group shots because E12S is so beautiful (minus boobs slapping monster)!

We had some decent practice last week and I do feel like we're making some progress. Of course, Icicles was, and still is, a challenging mechanic that required a lot of trial and error. I was trying to figure out how to top everyone up while not getting killed myself (ﾟωﾟ；)

Here is an example of healer strugglers, more like, I chose Glare over Rare. HA HA HA

Another Rare's final moment, but hey, we actually saw Titan Junction... 2 out of 3 sets!! I panicked hard on the 2nd set that I claimed the South boulder immediately and hugged it super tight, while poor Hiro had to backflip and tried to get to the North side....

♩ ♪ he tried so hard  ♫ ♬ and got so far 

♩ ♪ but in the end ♫ ♬ it doesn't even MATTErrRRRrr 

♩ ♪ he had to fall ♫ ♬ and kill us all 

♩ ♪ but in the ENNND ♫ ♬ it DOESN't even MATTERRrrRRRR 

I'll end off the post with a short shenanigan compilations video, until next post everyone!!

x. Summers Lost

Hallo everyone, how's it going for you guys? Hope everyone's doing fine! Today is another FFXI post, I'm still getting some clips ready from the doggo farm that we've been doing lately, so stay tune for that post! 

I know Aikia will LOVE the clips ʘ‿ʘ

Anyway, let's get into the screenshot dump. Here's me, Sas, and Geir farming points in Sheol because we needed to buy a trade in item to fight new bosses. Sas learned a cool skill called "Cruel Joke" where he could use aoe doom/death on the monsters and they'll die in a minute. And of course, there are some limits, only some monsters can be affected by it.

Geir's SAM got a cool helm, look at it!!!

One of the bosses from Sheol and there's different difficulties, I believe. Some are super annoying/hard, while some were not too bad. Then again, we're starting at easy mode and we shall attempt the harder levels ᕦ( ᐛ )ᕤ

After doing a bunch of Sheol bosses, you unlock the final boss, and that's Bumba. As well, for every boss we beat, it unlocks new gears (and then you gotta grind your life away to upgrade them). His theme song was LOUD but it does fit the atmosphere.

ಠ_ಠ His auto attacks does the knockback and I had to run after my group otherwise they're out of my healing range, I'm not looking forward in trying Bumba in higher difficulties. 

Geir got a new attire for Smough and he thinks it's really ugly LOL What do you guys think??? I like the pom pom hat though, it's cute!! 

Here we are trying a higher difficulty boss in Ambuscade. We got rekt by pleasantly plump moles. 

By the way, I recently joined the 3 stars club!  ＼＼\(۶ ᐛ )۶//／／ I capped my job points! Now it's time for my dancer, but weeeeee, I get some cool stars now!

I AM SO SAD THAT I MISSED THE CHERRY BLOSSOM SIGHT SEEING IN FFXI. I only found them in San D'orio... but I didn't check Bastok and Windurst... I am so so so sad that I missed Bastok this year and I thought these cherry blossoms will stay for awhile like on FFXIV.

I only got to see San D'Oreo's cherry blossoms, booo.

I went onto the FFXI forums and snagged some old screenshots. I regret not being able to see Bastok this year, ohs well... I'll wait for next year I guess. 

The Bastok cherry blossom reminds me of Meguro River during spring, don't you think?

Now...scenery dump, so get ready!! Gonna start off with Temple of Uggly (I forgot the actual name).

Tonberries cooking here!

This does seem similar to Wanderer's Palace, doesn't it?

Aht Urghan!

That's all for now folks, until next post and take care!!
