I've long quit this game (Sirkenneth from pandemonium/asura), however, I've heard the they plan on beefing up certain bosses to be challenging to lv 99 players. It would be so sweet if the Ark Angels were brought to their former glory!
I truly miss this game. The game itself, the music, the story, the challenges. It was just absolutely amazing. How I wish I could relive those days of when I first played Final Fantasy XI. ='(
Man, I'll never forget this fight. Kiting 2 AA's up and down the hallway with my rdm homie on the other 2, droppin em off one by one to be slaughtered, getting our ass handed to us over and over lol. 6th times the charm though! Kinda feel sorry for the bitch that dropped the pt w/o warning after our last fail but hey, had he not we wouldn't have gotten a 2nd pld (I can only do so much) and pwned those bastards! Still lovin my Suppanomimi to this day :D

Memories. I led a team that took down these Ark Angels, and my job as a (hume) ninja tank was to basically solo and distract the Hume Angel while the rest of the alliance took out the other 4. It was like fighting the dark version of myself. Probably my proudest achievement in FFXI.
Oh man this fight was such an accomplishment for me. My team going in and taking down the arc angles. I was a Summoner and i had to kite galka on my own at the bottom ahaha. tarutaru smn + galka AA = funnest thing to do lol also fast death for me once my summon died
and then we were standing there, no good tanks, no chance of winning and then we finally made it, i remember that i got charmed and killed some whm's of ours xD good times, but this is one of the few songs which gives me goosebumps that was just such a hopeless and epic battle but we made it after the third try ;)
AA battle! Did my Divine Might as RDM/NIN in haste gear. I kite/tanked the Galka SAM/DRG till taru DRK/BLM go down, then I pulled hate on the Hume to kite him while everybody went after the Mithra. When I was resting up for the last fight against the Elvaan, the Elvaan nuked everybody down in one blow and started chasing me around V_V. Our WHM was resting far so he was safe and went to raise everybody while I was getting my ass kicked V_V; Good times :3 Divine Might will never be the same
I'm still so very proud of my first Divine Might kill time, a rag-tag group of every job available at the time (prior to Aht Urghan) and we struggled with the angels to the bitter end. One angel remained and 3 people alive, i let loose a Penta Trust! oh no... 1% still remains, my life was forfeit. But then, Spirits Within! The bard secured the final blow! Victory at 29 minutes, 59 seconds. A roar was raised from the heavens! But the world below... well they laughed at us for not taking 16 BLMs.
@ryuail Congrats! i went as blu and we had a smn and a beastmaster as well as some healers and DDs the beast and smn kited and i stun locked whatever enemy we were fighting. It was a pretty smooth battle definently adrenaline pumpin!
Imagine how good thing song would sound if it wasn't done on crappy "instruments". Same with Awakening(that got an upgrade with that chocobo game, but still not enough)
Damn, I remember when my alliance fought against the Crystal Warriors all at once to this theme. We wiped the first time and the lead PLD became enraged and said he wasn't going to kite the DRK Tarutaru. Instead, he chose to tank it straight up and in his exact words "Crush the little bastard". As a DRK I was determined NOT to be outdone, so while everyone else followed the textbook, the PLD and I duo'ed the Taru and beat him to death. Everything went well until we got to the Elvaan... -_-
This fight was a pain in the ass when we first tried it. Didn't RR and got whooped after only 2 AA. Tried it again a month later and were able to kill all but the Elvaan AA before we wiped, and this time we made sure to all bring reraise earrings :P
This was 2004 btw, so we hadn't gotten the idea of "use an army of BLMs" :P
We went 1/1 on this fight because we designed a new strategy for it, way back when I was still playing. I long forgot the strategy, but I think going 1/1 with only four deaths is pretty damn amazing, considering the so many horrible stories you hear about this damn fight!
i know this comment comes a lil late but there actually is a DM kinda mission in the ToAU. you have do to a certain amount of quests involving the 5 serpent generals then after all that you can fight all 5 generals in a bcnm, you dont really get anything good it's more of a challenge kinda of thing then reward and also i think you can only do it with a party of 6 then an alliance
It was sad, we got 23 or 24 people together from my Dynamis linkshell to do DM. We did two runs, swapping out melees as needed. We won the first time, but for some reason (poor planning, I'd say) it happened that three of the melees who were swapped in for the second run were DRGs. We lost the second run. The DRGs in the shell were the laughing stock for weeks afterwards. Poor bastards.
I'm sure people still do, but we didn't have 18 BLMs, and even if we did, well, what the hell's the point? Some people do enjoy challenges and the bragging rights that go along with overcoming them :P
its still done. but due to the ele resistance thing on NMs if one blm is a tad bit off on cast time it might not kill PLD, and she will beni everyone. and then they proceed to wipe the blm's lol.
THANK YOU ive been looking for just the song forever, everyone else overdoes the music with somthing gay! ty ty ty <3 can u send it too me? D: D: D: please? lol

imo the best boss theme in the game. the intro cutscene is pretty epic too lol
I always thought it would be cool if they did an arkangel boss style mission for the Aht Urghan jobs. It would make a really fun side mission to beat
