When I did the final battle for ToAU I was kind of like meh, then I fought Alexander and this song kicked in, and never have I felt so pumped for a fight in my life.
I don't find Amano's artwork all that great, but there's something very haunting, very enchanting about the ToAU cover, an Arabian Nights kind of feel.
It starts powerfully and beautifully and inspiringly...but loses strenght at 0:30 and keeps dying. It suits a MMO battle, but because of that it didnt become a masterpiece in my opinion
Oh and a pick up party that was a first try :D Btw the PLD was a Taru subbing nin with UBER enmity gear....i could do SATA Footwork Dragon kick for 1k and take all hate then a single cure 3 got hate right back to him when a sam/rng sidewinder didn't even faze it afterwards
@kenpachi37 SATA Dragon kick/Asetics fury.....iv broken 3k doing that out in Xarcbard [s]. Try doing subs diffrent form teh normal....experimenting works better
like MNK/DRG....i was able to TP whore more then a SAM/RNG.
MNK/SAM - selfexplanitory
Trying diffrent things mad eit so im able to solo good enough that i didn't need to pt up untill the new expansion. But good job replying to 6 month old comment. Lol noob
God i remember this fight....The paladin going down ever 5 secs couse of that damn ranged move. I ended up dealing all the damage as a 75 mithra mnk with full ability merits for solo (Evasion, dodge, chakra, -enmity etc.). The Whm was spamming cures on the pld to keep him alive with him curing himself to. The rdm/whm healing me with cure 1-2 every few secs. The damned war being dead right when he gets into the fight. The sam/rng that ran out of arrows at the start.We won though :D 5 sec left!
I hated this fight. But I have to say that beating that fight was one of the most memorable things I ever did in FFXI. The only other thing I felt was as memorable as winning this, was beating Maat with my monk to clear G5. Kinda sad that I never got past CoP4-2 or Divine Might before I stopped playing though.
@nekophht well your messing way more epic shit than this gay fight and it was prob most memorable b/c you where gimp lol.... if you dont finish COP your gimp im sorry ^_^
Heh, I remember this battle. Took three tries with different people, finally managed to kill Alexander with an 85 Drain at the end, leaving me with 90-something HP left. It was a close call, especially since he was spamming Radiant Sacrament on me.
Man oh man that took me 12 tries to win that fight. I joined a shout group 3/4th of the time and most of them have some member to ruin it, and usually lose to the BLU.

FFXI's soundtrack makes other MMORPG's soundtracks sound like Justin Beiber!!!!
