Thanks for that Elmer, I clearly missed some things. Very nice to have it all in one place.

In the eastern side of the Far West, there are a number of little islands. These will be used to host personal farms upon which players can raise livestock and farm crops. Much like the Mog House system, each player will get their individual space to use and customize to their liking. There are currently few details regarding the farming system itself or any indication if players can visit each others' farms.


They are putting Farmville in FFXI. I don't want to live on this virtual planet anymore...

This is happy news for me. I have been floundering in the gaming world picking up new games, and being disappointed. I got Diablo 3 and had huge anticipation, when I wan't playing 11 I was playing my D2 Sorc. Diablo 3 crushed my spirit, and today, today I got an eboner. I only fear for my RDM, but the fact SE has addressed 2 primary issues I had with this game I am kind of excited. Actually pretty damn excited.

New stuff is the best stuff...as long as it isn't a flop like WoTG oh god I hope it isn't like WoTG.

Please SE don't let me down, Blizzard destroyed my spirit for gaming, help me SE you are my only hope...

(also Farewell Tanaka, you had it, and you lost it, I wish you luck in the future and pray your illness is not severe.)

Hoping that the farming is like mog house growing, but without the moon logic of growing the thing you want.

I am also greatly looking forward to monster play as well, as the mechanics announced so far seem very interesting.

Yet another nice write-up Elmer. Since Devin and Matt weren't able to roam the event as much as they wanted, it's nice to see some of the other parts of the festival that they weren't able to hit on.

Except if it were baby photos, it would be like looking at before and afters of Michael Jackson. Only instead of turning into a white guy, he changes into a chick!

No, but personally, I just laughed when I read "Rishfee", so it doesn't bother me too much Smiley: lol

I'm surprised no one caught what Elmer wrote about the tacos...or didn't make some quip about them.

He'd be too enamored by the fact that it's got cheese on it to make that connection.

On page 2 of part 2, where all the good merchandise is shown, there is the wall scroll of all the summons. That awesome thing should be for sale come this Nov (or that is when imports will happen). I saw it is a previews mag (previewsworld.com). I may just have to buy it...
