Saboruto you rock. I know people hate posts being bumped after this long,but this one takes the cake.Saboruto you kick major um.. stuff ;p Its people like you that give new meaning to FFXI. I look forward to your future posts. Rate up^^

I am proud to be a female Hume in Bastok. We may not be first,we may not seem the best,but we are troopers ;p. We bust our bottoms,and become the best of the best. Yes Sandy is better through SE means. But Bastok people eventually become equals. Which shows that even though sandy got something good,the other nations still eventually become equal. Why? Becuase elvan may have a nice home,but the other nations have better minds,and skill. XD.

<3 you Saboruto Keep it rockin

Oh men .. you are quite right...

This guide to kill Genbu XtreemeChaosSage posted also, comfirms that...

Quote:
The Ultimate Genbu Strategy

Step 1:
Find your favourite Tarutaru Ninja. Pick him/her firmly around the neck and equip in your Range slot.

Step 2:
Hit Alt+D, type in /ra, or use any previous designated throwing macro to hurl the Tarutaru Ninja as fast as possible towards Genbu.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/Baeladar/easygenbu2.jpg

Step 3:
Brace for impact.

Step 4:
Use the abjuration you just acquired to purify cursed equipment. Now you rock!

LMAO...

Everything the OP mentioned seemed all true.
Anyways, anyone who complains about Windurst being a maze needs to be slapped in the face. Two words: Teleport NPCs.

Learn where they are and you'll get around instantly.

ie. Windurst Walls Auction House from the exit of the Mog House in Windurst Woods.

P.S. That Ultimate Genbu Strategy was disgusting... unless that was a tarutaru traitor that was chucked into Genbu.

Even better, we have Mindartia to ourselves.
Sadly, most of us are forced to make the trip from Buburimu->Mhaura->Selbina.

Bastokans have it second worse that they have to go through the bat infested tunnel to get to a camp.

ex dee

Edit: What did I say to deserve a rate down? ex dee = XD (as in funny)

Anyway, SE wasn't totally against everyone else...I mean, I'm an Elvaan, and for one thing, I can't hit a mob to save my (or my party's) life! And not only that, but I look like one of those tribal women who puts the 20+ rings on their neck to stretch it out! We are so goofy looking! And Mithra are so rrrarrr.

Psh, Sabo. You're missing the point. It's not that SE favors Elvaan...it's that they *hate* Tarutaru!

1 - Unbenknownst to us, SE implants small control devices in Tarutaru that compel them to gather together in small huddles and imitate each other by /panic'ing. Or /clap'ing, or /joy'ing, or /whatever'ing. Why? So that we form large enough groups that even the myopic Elvaan have at least a sporting chance of managing to punt one of us like a football.

2 - The Airship. Ever noticed that we aren't tall enough to look over the rail? I have.

3 - More Airship! Why is it that passengers stand on top of the canopies, where Tarutaru cannot possibly identify their face, or what they are wearing on their head? Think about that one.

4 - I can't think of number 4. Except that no one ever visits us except to kill Crawlers because our hometown is laid out like someone's digestive tract.


Thats because this game is not Taru friendly...

Ever look inside your moghouse in Jueno?
(sorry if this has been mentioned before)

1) The fireplace is large enough that if a strong breeze were to catch us taru's we'd fly right into the fire - Instant Taru Kabob

2) The table in the Moghouse...its got a pen and sheets of paper for writing notes and letters, but there is no way in HELL a taru can reach it let alone even get up onto the chair

3) The clothes drawer looks like you can pull one of the drawers out for a taru to sleep in... just add a pillow

4) The buearu looks like u can hide inside of it, but again no way you could reach the top of it to open it


Non moghouse related..

1) Can't see over rails on airships and boats

2) Fighting dhamels...not cool at all..have to take off autotarget to see what your doing...

3) Always getting stuck on the terrain because of a small rock impeeding a taru's progress whereas an elvaan or galka can walk over that same spot and not get stuck...wtf is up with that?

Anyone else remember that when you create a Character, San d'Oria is first on the list of Nations? XD

dammit and i wondered why my bagel was alwasys stolen. I already hated going to Sandy, but now that they are taking my bagels. DEATH TO SANDORIA.

I see your point. Very good.

One thing i could never understand about the bastok N gustaberg area.
Why cant they simply just build a lil bridge to get over to konschtat higlands zone from the east bastok zone?

They have a city there and decided that it better to run all the way around instead of making some simple overpass?

Most annoying access pathway in the game.

Yes! Outstanding! Rate up!

And Sandy is time and time again in 1st place when it comes to Conquest on Caitsith. Presently, Windy and Bastok are in an alliance together because Sandy is so strong.

I'm sure several of the reasons you listed are not the reasons, but other reasons (such as access to various regions) are affecting Sandy's abilities.

I don't advocate nerfing anyone but would like to see added access for Windy and Bastok!

IBHalliwell - Long live FFXI!

Also note that Konschtat Highlands and Tahrongi Canyon both have passes on the south end, why La Thiene has... A road. GUARDED by RKs.

Wtf.

>_> We San d'Orians have to deal with vicious orcs and are the border country to the Northlands...

Bastokers and Windurstians kill quadav for mining and drain away the Yagudo's natural habitat without any regard...I wonder if you uncultured rubes even deserve what you have! *removes and cleans his monocle, casting a disdainful eye down an indignant nose* San d'Orians deserve the splendor they have and SE recognizes it. I hope it hasn't taken a year for you to realize this!

Good day, sirs! *puts on his top hat and wanders off into Batallia downs*

Very nice OP.
You forgot to mention the Female Elvaan Chocobo Mafia though.
This is SE's way to divert more funds to the coffers of the San d'Orian Royal Family. What nation of tall beautiful people living in forested and mountainous regions (*cough* Italy *cough*) wouldn't be complete without their own Mafia??

It goes without saying that your post is great. I just wanted to pay special appreciation to this phrase:

I liked that little play on words.
